In the early stage, Yang Ye was able to conquer a territory with Liu Chong, but in front of the Tang army with many military forces and military generals, he seemed powerless.

In history, when Zhao Kuangyin's Song army destroyed Liu Chong, he also directly crushed Liu Chong and Yang Ye with his absolute military advantage.

Yang Ye’s situation is also not good now.

"If Liu Chong is destroyed, the Tang Dynasty's forces can gain another 300,000 people, and their strength will be even stronger."

Zhang Hua was worried when he learned that the Tang army was using troops against Liu Chong and Yang Ye.

The Tang army has been expanding, and its expansion speed is getting faster and faster, and it may become the overlord of Guanzhong.

Li Ji said: "My lord doesn't have to worry too much. The stronger the Tang army is, the more forces they are afraid of. Sooner or later there will be forces dissatisfied with the Tang army. At that time, the Tang army will definitely be enemies on all sides. This is what is said that the trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them; the piles are piled on the shore, and the currents will rush them; the movements are higher than people, and the people will be wrong. The front is not far away, and the car will be covered and the tracks will be continued."

"It makes sense."

Zhang Hua's eyes lit up.

The Tang army brought unprecedented pressure to Zhang Hua, and it was one of the few forces that Zhang Hua had no confidence to deal with.

But then they thought about it, when the forces near the Tang Dynasty saw that one forces were destroyed by the Tang army, they would probably feel panic.

In this way, there might be an anti-Tang alliance, or an eighteen princes will come to attack the Emperor of Tang.

It is indeed necessary to join the vertical and horizontal lines.

"Liu Chong and Yang Ye's power are far away from us. We cannot or cannot rescue us. They can only ask for blessings."

Zhang Hua shook his head.

He wanted to capture Yang Ye alive and let him serve, but Yang Ye was far away, and there were 40,000 Tang troops attacking Yang Ye, and Zhang Hua's 40,000 people in Huayin County might not be able to defeat the same number of Tang troops.

Zhang Hua can only take one step at a time.

"There are no talents in the recruitment hall yet?"

"Some county officials have recruited a lot of talents, but so far, no great talents have been seen."

"It seems that Qin Chuan's great talent has already chosen his master to serve. After all, Qin Chuan has many wise masters. With their reputation, they may have captured Qin Chuan's talents in one place."

Zhang Hua was not disappointed either.

It can be said that Qinchuan has the power established in all dynasties, and any civil servant and military general can find a lord who is suitable for him. Most of the civil servants and military generals who are willing to take office have already taken office, and the civil servants and military generals who live in seclusion will probably not easily become officials.

The recruitment hall established by Zhang Hua only recruited a group of middle and low-level civil servants, and Zhang Hua arranged them to various places to manage the territory.

In the direction of Hulao Pass, Fan Zhongyan personally led 5,000 troops to Hulao Pass to support Geng Gong.

Hulao Pass has a 9,000 troops, and Fan Zhongyan’s talent is "defense line construction", and Geng Gong’s talent is "defending to the death", so Hulao Pass’s defense line is as solid as a rock.

Ajige, Li Mi and Wu Sangui died and injured 3,000 people, and there was no sign of losing Hulao Pass, so Ajige temporarily withdrew his troops.

Wang Feng was an undercover agent in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising army, monitoring this potentially threatening force, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have no plans to attack Heluo for the time being.

North of the Yellow River, Sun Ce was still fighting the Mongolian Qiexue army.

This Qixue Army was also unlucky. It appeared alone in the Central Plains and met Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong.

Judging from the current situation, the situation is generally beneficial to Zhang Hua.

If we count the total population of the two territories, Zhang Hua is actually a big lord with a population of about one million.

The disadvantage compared to the Tang army is that it takes time and effort to mobilize troops from Heluo to Guanzhong.

The larger the territory, the greater the military strength, because the principle of proximity is adopted in general.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, the troops from Liangzhou and Guanzhong were dealing with Shu, and the troops from Huainan and Jingbei were dealing with Wu.

Only when the front line is in crisis will the emperor mobilize the troops from the Imperial Guards and other remote places, because it takes a lot of food and time to mobilize troops.

It took several months for the Ming Dynasty to transfer Sichuan troops to Liaodong...

Zhang Hua's guide to Guanzhong was basically solved on the spot except for the 30,000 soldiers he brought at the beginning.

"Lord, Lei Bo, under Yuan Shu's troops, Chen Lan led the remnants to surrender, including about 5,000 soldiers and a population of 20,000."

Mulan brings back good news.

"Lei Bo and Chen Lan, these two men were originally bandits and had some force. As for commanding troops to fight, their ability was only average."

As Yuan Shu's chief clerk, Yan Xiang knew the generals of Yuan Shu's power well.

"They two of them came to surrender and brought in 20,000 people. I cannot refuse, so as not to chill everyone's hearts."

Zhang Hua took civil officials and military generals out of the city to greet Lei Bo and Chen Lan.

Although Lei Bo and Chen Lan are characters with little presence, Zhang Hua had just arrived when he arrived in Guanzhong and had to make a gesture to show his thirst for seeking talents.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan were defeated by Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongwang in the previous battle and fled into the mountains.

At this time, the two of them saw that the situation was stable, so they came out again.

However, Yuan Shu had already fled, Zhang Hua took over Yuan Shu's power, Lei Bo and Chen Lan naturally chose to lead his troops to join Zhang Hua.

The second general did not expect that Zhang Hua would personally lead the civil servants and military generals out of the city to welcome him, and the momentum was so great that he could not help but be flattered and bowed to Zhang Hua repeatedly.

The scholar died for his confidant, and these two generals from bandits understood this feeling a little.

Zhang Hua gave them treatment they would not have enjoyed, and the two were moved.

"Please stay in Dazhong Town with peace of mind. Everything is as usual. In the future, I will defeat Jin Wushu, Wanyan Zongwang, and avenge your previous shame."

In order to create the reputation of a wise ruler, Zhang Hua recruited talents from Qinchuan, so he held a banquet for Lei Bo and Chen Lan to welcome him.

"We two were unsuccessful, but we were appreciated by Gong Ming. We hope to go through fire and water for Gong Ming from now on, and die only after death!"

Lei Bo and Chen Lan were drunk and expressed their loyalty to Zhang Hua at the banquet.

The purpose has been achieved.

Zhang Hua accepted Lei Bo and Chen Lan, mainly to set an example.

Of course, the additional two deputy generals have also improved Zhang Hua's power significantly.

"You two will be wronged to serve as Li Ji's generals in the future and will be promoted through military achievements in the future. Those who come will be rewarded with gold and silver."

Zhang Hua used his official position to win over Lei Bo and Chen Lan, and increased his loyalty to them, so that Qin Chuan's civil servants and military generals knew his importance to talents.

This is the principle of buying horse bones for a wealthy person.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan thanked each other again.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan were defeated by Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongwang and were no longer qualified to serve as chief generals. At this time, he was given preferential treatment to Li Ji's generals.

Zhang Hua saw Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others who moved in at the territory stone tablet of Huayin County.

【Hero】: Lei Bo

【Hero】: Chen Lan

[Commander]: 69 [Military power]: 76 [Intellect]: 61 [Politics]: 34

[Military Force]: Bandit Archer (second-level army, talented "mountain battle")

[Awakening Talent]: Mountain guarding (when stationed in the mountains, improve the defense and resilience of legion soldiers)

[Article]: Yuan Shu's general later rebelled against Yuan Shu and gathered tens of thousands of people to plunder in the Jianghuai area. Later, he was killed by Zhang Liao's army.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan can be regarded as brothers in distress. Their abilities are not ranked among the famous generals of all dynasties. However, one of them is good at attacking the mountain and the other is good at defending the mountain. The two of them cooperate with each other, and the effect is probably good.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan's surrender had no effect on Zhang Hua's strategy. Zhang Hua continued to farm, recruit soldiers and horses, and prepared to attack the Huns and Han Kingdom.

"If Liu Chong and Yang Ye could persevere until I destroyed the Huns and Han Kingdoms, it would be impossible for him to send troops to rescue him and then form an alliance with him."

In Zhang Hua's plan, it is also a good choice to win over Yang Ye to deal with the Tang army that is so powerful that it is almost difficult to defeat alone.
