The four towns of Fuyuan raised an army to rebel, and the barbarians came out of the mountain. When the news came, Yuejing was shocked, and a panic atmosphere suddenly appeared in the city. The memories of the barbarians, most of the people in Yuejing were stuck in the records in the original and the ups and downs of people. In their mouths, these barbarians were all demons who ate raw meat and drank blood and killed people without blinking. Now that these demons came out of the mountain, they could not help but panic.

But in the center of the Ming Dynasty, no one took the barbarians down the mountain as much as a big deal. However, Qin Feng was silent for a long time after hearing that Shilin County Magistrate Xue Shouye was alone and determined to die.

"A good official, but unfortunately he is just a little stupid." Huo Guang felt it was not worth it and shook his head repeatedly.

"Although it is a business aura, it also shows an important issue." Quan Yun did not think so: "Your Majesty, I have read Xue Shouye's past evaluations in the Ministry of Personnel. I can't say I am an honest official, but I am not a corrupt official. I can do things with what I deserve. Such an official cannot say has any special advantages, but when the barbarians descended to the mountain, they can stand firmly in front of thousands of troops and die resolutely. From this point of view, this time Jiang Haokun rebelled against the barbarians, which was a big failure. It will inevitably make the Ming Empire more united, and it will save us a lot of effort to integrate the whole country more smoothly."

Qin Feng closed the information about Xue Shouye on the desk and told the Shang Wanghou of the Ministry of Personnel sitting on the other side: "I posthumously awarded Xue Shouye as the Clerk of Zhongyi, first-rank, his wife as the First-rank imperial edict, and his son Xue Chengqi directly awarded Hanlin."

Wang Hou nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

No matter what Xue Shouye thought at that moment, he would never have thought that his demise brought great wealth to the Xue family.

Huo Guang was a little stunned. He never expected that the first Hou of the Ming Dynasty, the first first-rank, would be awarded it like this. But thinking about it, it doesn’t matter how high a honor a person who has already given him is given. And what his descendants enjoy will only let the later generations see His Majesty’s generosity to the brave men who dare to go to the national crisis.↑△Little↓△..m]

"Your Majesty, although I am the Minister of War, I am just a man who makes up the numbers. I really don't know much about military affairs. Tens of thousands of barbarians went down the mountain. This is not a trivial matter. These barbarians have been living in the mountains for several lifetimes, and they must have had deep hatred. Judging from the information we have obtained now, Murong Hong is not an easy-to-deal person. Why don't everyone think they care about it at all?" Huo Guang spread his hands and said.

Qin Feng and Quan Yun both laughed.

"Murong Hong is indeed a difficult person to deal with. This man changed his name and surname when he was young. He quietly came out to study for ten years. After returning to the mountains, he took ten years to seize the power of the Murong tribe. In ten years, he integrated all tribes in the mountains. He abolished the tribal system and imitated the outside world to establish a centralized country. From this perspective, this man is indeed a hero of a generation!" Qin Fengdao.

"It is actually just a larger tribe. There are thousands of mountains and ridges, and among the tribes, it can be said that they are running to death on the mountain. It is hard to say how much control Murong Hong has. It is probably his limit to be able to gather tens of thousands of people." Quan Yun said with a smile.

"This is not bad, it is enough to stir up storm." Huo Guang shook his head and said.

"One move, two declines, three decays." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The most important thing to defeat the barbarians is the first attack. The four towns of Fuyuan have been mainly for military purposes since the day they appeared. Although this purpose has become insignificant because the barbarian forces gradually disappeared, these four counties have never been a place to support the army. Tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers went down the mountain, for these four places, there was only 40,000 more mouths. Maybe it was more than that. How long can the four counties of Fuyuan last?"

"The king is sure to defeat them with one blow?" Huo Guang asked.

"Why did I have to defeat with one blow?" Qin Feng asked Huo Guang with a smile: "The barbarians have been together for ten years. At this moment, they are in full swing. If I bump into them head-on and want to annihilate him in a short time, I am afraid that the price I will pay is too high, but I don't want to pay this price. In my eyes, the barbarians are just small scabies."

Quan Yunshen agreed and nodded repeatedly.

Huo Guang was a little shocked. Tens of thousands of barbarians were just trivial matters in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the Chief Supervisor.

"If this is not a big deal, then what is a big deal?"

"Rich the country and strengthen the army!" Quan Yun said concisely and authenticly.

"It turns out that the country of Yue was the weakest among the four countries, but even then, Yue could bring out hundreds of thousands of troops to dig out water. At least tens of thousands of troops with considerable combat effectiveness. We can sit here today, not because our Taiping Army is so powerful, but because we found the right opportunity to fight against the big ones when Vietnam is in trouble at home and abroad. I have to say that there are many lucky elements here, and of course, there are also other three countries playing games." Qin Feng said: "Brother Huo, look at how many soldiers and horses we can pull out now, rocks, tigers, wolfs, thunderbolts, miners, plus sharp gold, thick soil, giant trees, and floods. In total, there are no more than 50,000 troops. Although the combat power is considerable, it is really stronger than the border troops and tigers of North Vietnam before. I don't know."

"If our Ming Empire now has a military strength, if we have to compare it with North Vietnam, I think it is similar to the North Vietnam Huben Army. With this army, we have more than enough stability and less progress." Quan Yun said: "But your majesty's ambition is to drink horses in the Central Plains and to conquer the world. Therefore, our top priority is to enrich the country and strengthen the army."

"What should we do if the barbarians do? Now they are in a bad mood. If we don't clean up them first, how can we enrich the country and strengthen the soldiers?" Huo Guang spread his hands and said.

"A good whetstone!" Qin Feng looked up at the top for a long time, stood up, and opened the curtain on the wall with a thud. A map that occupied the entire wall appeared in front of the three of them. This was the original territory of North Vietnam and the current territory of the Ming Empire, but some places were outlined with red lines. It was the Kaiping County that fell into the hands of the Qin people and the five counties occupied by the Qi people.

"The four counties of Fuyuan were originally intended to curb the military towns built by the barbarians. The territory was small. Except for Fuyuan, the other three counties were located in mountainous areas and were relatively poor. Now, tens of thousands of barbarians were down the mountain. With the tens of thousands of troops raised by Jiang Haokun, they had to eat. Of course, there was no problem in a short period of time, but over time, the four counties could not support it. Therefore, the barbarians were mainly attacking Yuejing City, while Jiang Haokun wanted to attack Zhengyang County. This was precisely because they knew their predicament." Qin Feng pointed to the map and said, "If they were allowed to take Zhengyang County, they could obtain a stable grain base, and they could even attack Changyang County and Shayang County, threatening the fundamental land of our Ming Empire."

"I'm afraid this is a bit whimsical." Huo Guang said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled slightly: "The people who planned all this for Jiang Haokun are afraid that they don't care about Jiang Haokun's victory or defeat, and they are happy to lose. They just want to cause trouble for us. But if Jiang Haokun really succeeds, we will indeed be in trouble. Therefore, the purpose of our first phase of combat is to block the barbarians back to the four towns of Fuyuan, and to Jiang Haokun, they will completely defeat them without mercy."

His fingers drew a circle on the map, "Fuyuan four towns were separated from Yuejing City by a Luo River. This Luo River is the noose strangled around their necks, and the army was deployed on the Luo River, trapping them to death in the four counties. As time goes by, they will eventually fall into trouble. At that time, we will fight as soon as we want to fight, and guard as we want to guard, which is our purpose of sharpening our knife. All the troops will be pulled there and try the quality."

"But in this way, the people in the four counties will inevitably suffer." Huo Guang sighed.

"The military and national affairs are solemnly there to be a woman's kindness." Quan Yun said: "If we try our best, it is not that we cannot take down the barbarians, but if we really fight hard, our losses will be huge. The tens of thousands of troops that have finally gathered together will be severely damaged and will not recover in a short period of time. If we really reach this point, let alone the Qi people will be ready to move, even the Qin people will be moved."

"It's the reason. The two countries of Qi and Qin are all staring at how we deal with it, but I think they will never think that I will leave the barbarians in these four counties. These four counties themselves are a place that needs subsidy. Now abandoning them for the time being will also throw away a huge burden to us. As for the price you are talking about, you can only provide compensation later."

Huo Guangran was silent. He was still a pure warrior after all. Qin Feng and Quan Yun were talking about it easily, but if this strategy was finally implemented, I was afraid that the people in the four counties in Fuyuan would live in dire straits for a long time. The barbarians were never a kind nation. In order to gain capital to confront the Ming Empire, they would inevitably crazily exploit and deprive everything there.

"Baoqing Camp will be moved to Nanguo County, Zhongping County, and sealed the barbarians' road to Zhongping. Ruijin, Canglang, Thick Soil, and Panshi will be the main force this time, facing the barbarians head-on, and focus on steady defense in advance. The miner camp will go to Zhengyang County, cooperate with the Pili Camp, breaking Jiang Haokun's backbone and forcing him back to his nest." Qin Feng smiled and said, "I will also take the Death Camp to Zhengyang County."
