It has been half a month since Ye Zhao sent the memorial to Luoyang. In the past half month, there has been almost no good news.

Lu Zhi led the Sanhe Jingqin to the north and followed Zhang Jiao to the next day. Speaking of which, with the speed of the marching in this era, Lu Zhi had already been very fast, and his strategy was also very correct, and he took the hinterland of Zhang Jiao directly.

However, since Guangzong is Zhang Jiao's old nest, there are naturally many soldiers and horses stationed. According to inaccurate information, Zhang Jiao is known as 300,000 troops in Guangzong, while Lu Zhi's Sanhe Jingqi and the reinforcements sent by various prefectures and counties in Jizhou are only 30,000. The difference in strength is huge, and the chance of victory is slim.

Even if the 300,000 army is very rich, Zhang Jiao has been in charge of the Taiping Cult for so many years, and it is impossible for all the soldiers and horses to be a mob. Among the 300,000 army, most of them are a mob, but there must be elite troops and a strong city. It is impossible for Lu Zhi to fight quickly.

Yingchuan, Nanyang and other important places were also the hardest hit areas of the Taiping Cult. The government fled. Even famous generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun failed to gain any advantage for a while, but were defeated for several times.

"Lord, Liang Zhongning led the Taiping Cult army to advance step by step. I am afraid that within three days, I will be completely surrounded by the Taiping Cult. You should think of a solution." In the prime minister's mansion, Qiu Chi was so anxious that he was in a mess. Although the entire Liang Kingdom had opened a warehouse and released grain, and the government took out the land of the rich and gentry whose families were destroyed and the people were divided into the people, the people of Suiyang became increasingly at peace, but the entire Liang Kingdom, except for Suiyang, all the other seven counties fell, and the Taiping Cultists soared in a short period of time. For a moment, it seemed that the entire Liang Kingdom was a Taiping Cultists.

"The Taiping Cult is now at its peak, and it is not difficult to defeat." Ye Zhao was relaxed in the case and flirted with bamboo papers. Sure enough, after lowering his goals, many problems were no longer problems. He did not need to consider the forces behind the Taiping Cult. He just needed to stand in the right position, and the benefits naturally came.

Although he is now just the Prime Minister of Liang, the status of the Ye family will also be improved through this incident. Although this is just an inflated person, in this era when family status is valued, not to mention the prefect of a county, or the general of the current dynasty who holds the military power of the world, is he criticized as a butcher?

But as the status improves, the circle of contact will naturally be different. Now it has been much smoother to arouse those gentry.

"Are all the things sent to Hanoi?" Ye Zhao did not say much about this topic, but asked back.

"The weapons and armor have been sent, but..." Qiu Chi looked up and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "There are too many food and grass, and it is extremely eye-catching. It is also in chaos and difficult to transport it out."

The weapons and armor were only a few thousand. If they were transported in batches, they could still be transported all the way. But this time, Ye Zhao took advantage of the Taiping Sect to swallow three warehouses of grain directly. If so much grain was in peace, it would not be difficult to transport it away, but it would not be easy now.

"Then save it first. It will not be too late to transport it away when the Taiping Cult is defeated." Ye Zhao nodded. Anyway, these foods have been damaged by the court and are not calculated by the court's treasury. Even if the court sends people to investigate, there will be no need to rush to find out.

"It is because of the Taiping Cult during this period that the people dare not go out of the city to farm. If the farming season is delayed, what we did before will be wasted." Qiu Chi said with a wry smile.

"It's not a problem. The granary in this treasury is enough to support the people of Liang County for a year. I have obtained the right to act cheaply. Even if I miss the farming season and waste some food and grass, I cannot go out of the city to fight." Ye Zhao waved his hand. First, the Taiping Cult is now in a great upward momentum, and even a mob can burst out with amazing combat power under such a general trend. Ye Zhao is unwilling to argue with the Taiping Cult at this time. Second, Ye Zhao also wants to use the Taiping Cult to gather some political capital with the east wind.

"There are many military tactics. When one blows, it will decline again and then become exhausted. Now the Taiping Cult is at this time. However, it is only this time. When its momentum is exhausted, it is the time for us to counterattack. Before that, I hope that you can train soldiers diligently, guard the city carefully, and hold this aura in your heart. When it blows, it is the day when our army fights out and eliminates the Taiping Cult." Ye Zhao said at the end, looking at the generals.

"The last general will receive the order, lord, don't worry!" Fang Yue and others bowed together to respond.

Ye Zhao nodded, signaled everyone to retreat, and called Shangdian Wei, got up and went out the door.

Just as Ye Zhao followed the steps and strengthened the city defense in an orderly manner and appeased the people's hearts, Liang Fa began to select soldiers in Meng County.

The defeat of Sui Yang made Liang Fa realize the fact that there are too many people, and if the command is not effective, the advantage of the number of people will sometimes backfire itself.

"Ship Qu." A yellow-turban thief quickly walked into the county government and bowed to Liang Fa and said, "The person who went to inquire about the news is back."

"Well Ye Zhao is still indifferent?" Liang Fa asked with a frown.

"Yes, our soldiers have already appeared thirty miles outside Suiyang City, but Suiyang City has no other reaction except to sending scouts to investigate our army formation." The Yellow Turban Thief General bowed and said.

"He wants to stick to the support!" Liang Fa sneered: "Don't pay attention to him. First select the strongest army, form a military force, and follow the example of the Yellow Turbans who are the General of Heaven for training."

"Master Qu, our army is now very powerful and has a large number of people. Why bother to train soldiers?" The Yellow Turban General frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be a waste of time?"

"Before Suiyang retreated, I thought as you did." Liang Fa sighed and said, "Do you know how many people are in the Taiping Sect in Liang Kingdom?"

"This..." The Yellow Turban Thief General looked confused and said stutteringly for a while: "There are always 100,000 people, right?"

"I don't even know how many people I have. I rushed forward during the war, but I don't know that this is a taboo for military strategists." Liang Fa looked at the other party with a reasonable look but I didn't understand. He shook his head and sighed, and was too lazy to explain again: "Just do what I said, I will know in the future."
