"Let me first talk about the defense arrangements of Daxing City.”
"Master Shang and his disciples will lead 50,000 troops to attack the Han army. Mai Tiezhang and I will be in charge of the city defense.”
As he spoke, the Underworld Master involuntarily lowered his voice.
Gao Shilian was told the entire plan in detail, including the number of people they could open the city gate as spies.
"It's a good thing."
Gao Shilian nodded. This would increase the chances of breaking through Daxing City.
If there was a fifty percent chance before, then there was at least an eighty percent chance now.
"That's great!"
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wugou, who was secretly listening, was secretly delighted.
"In that case, our Gao family can't stay idle.”
Gao Shilian turned to look outside the door.
His son was still standing guard outside the door and nothing had happened.
"In addition, I can contact some people and open the door to the palace.”
Gao Shilian whispered after confirming that it was safe.
"Really?"
Wei Yuancheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
If that was really the case, as long as the outer city of Daxing City was breached, they would not be able to defend the direction of the Imperial Palace.
This completely accelerated the speed at which the Han army could take down the entire Daxing City.
"Naturally."
Gao Shilian said with certainty.
"Phew!"
The master of the netherworld heaved a sigh of relief.
With Gao Shilian's suggestion, the whole plan became even more perfect.
"Alright, we just need to wait for the Han army to arrive.”
the Underworld Master said.
"Yes, let's call it a day. We should go back and deal with the city defense matters.”
Wei Yuancheng continued.
If they didn't return to their positions in a short period of time, Iron Staff Mai would inevitably become suspicious.
"Alright, be careful."
Then, Gao Shilian stood up.
"Take care."
The Underworld Master and Wei Yuancheng cupped their fists at Gao Shilian before turning to leave.
The two of them also left through the side door and quickly disappeared into the night.
"When Brother Feng arrives, it will be the time to break through Daxing City in one fell swoop.”
Upon hearing this, Zhangsun Wugou thought to himself.
"Feng 'er, everything is ready. The road to taking down Daxing City has already been paved.”
Gao Shilian looked up at the night sky and muttered to himself.
“......”
In Chen Cang's Duke Han Manor, all the civil and military officials were gathered in the meeting hall.
"Duke Han, the recruitment of new soldiers to expand the regular army has been completed.”
Li Jing stepped forward and said.
"Alright, how's the recruitment going?"
"This time, we recruited a total of 50,000 new soldiers. Adding on the original soldiers and the surrendered Sui army, the total strength of the regular army is about 110,000.”
"This includes the 10,000 Sui soldiers of the four northern counties.”
Li Jing immediately reported.
"A total of 110,000!"
As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials below were shocked.
With the regular army more than doubled, the Han army would not be in a tight spot. While guarding the various areas, they would have enough manpower to use.
Moreover, with the Sui army joining the regular army, it greatly increased the fighting power of the regular army.
"How is the combat ability of the recruits?”
Cao Feng asked again.
"Perhaps it's because the people in the Hexi Corridor are tough, but the regular army recruited this time has a stronger combat ability.”
"Their quality isn't inferior to the regular army of the Sui Dynasty, and some of them are even better.”
Li Jing smiled when he mentioned this.
This meant that the regular army could enter the battlefield and become one of the fighting forces of the Han army.
"I didn't expect his combat strength to be so high."
Fang Xuanling, Xin Wenli, and the others 'expressions changed drastically. One had to know that the Sui army's regular army had considerable combat strength.
The new recruits recruited by the Han army were actually comparable to the regular army of the Sui army, or even better. How could this not be shocking?
Du Ruhui, Wu Tianxi, and the others were even more delighted. It had only been a short period of time, but the strength of the Han army had increased at a rapid pace.
"Not bad."
Cao Feng nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with the recruitment.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was the reason why the people of the Hexi Corridor were so fierce.
However, he knew very well what the real reason was.
"For Duke Han to rise so quickly, his reputation surpasses many veteran rebel armies.”
Zhangsun Wuji sighed repeatedly. The so-called veteran rebel armies, such as the original Xue Ju and Li Gui, were all powerful.
"Our army has completed our agreement with the aristocratic families. Next, it's time to target Daxing City.”
Fang Xuanling's excited voice was tinged with excitement. With this step, the momentum of the Han army would be fully unleashed.
The eyes of the other civil and military officials flickered.
That's right, their next target was the ancient capital, Daxing City!
"Just how powerful is the Cao family?”
Xin Wenli could not help but ask himself.
As they joined the Han Army for a longer period of time, they learned more about the history of the Han Army. Most of the elite troops came from the hands of the declining Cao family.
How did the Cao family do it? He couldn't figure out the reason at all.
Meanwhile, Xin Yue Er looked at Duke Han in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Ding, the side quest has been released.”
"Sub Mission-Defeat the final resistance of the Sui army in Guanzhong.”
The system notification sounded.
"I've finally reached this step. I can see Wugou and even pave a path for the emperor.”
As she thought of Cao Feng, a tender look flashed across her eyes.
"Stabilize the situation in the Hexi Corridor as soon as possible and prepare for the next battle.”
Putting away his thoughts, he looked at the civil and military officials and ordered.
"Yes."
The civil and military officials trembled and hurriedly replied.
Today's discussion had come to an end. The civil and military officials left the meeting hall one after another.
Just as the undercurrent was surging, the Li family in Daxing City received relevant news.
They were a small part of the clansmen who stayed in Daxing City. Most of the clansmen followed Li Yuan to Taiyuan.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've heard the news about the Han Army.”
Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice in the Li Residence's meeting hall.
The people who participated in this discussion were Li Daozong and Wen Daya, who were part of the clan that stayed behind.
The two of them were at the top of the list, helping Li Xiaogong deal with matters.
"I heard that the Han army is quite powerful. They took down the Hexi Corridor, the few counties north of Guanzhong, and part of Guanzhong not long after they started their army.”
Wen Daya said solemnly.
As for the younger Li Daozong, his brows were tightly furrowed and he didn't say a word.
"I wonder if the Han Army will affect the Tang Empire.”
Li Xiaogong was worried about this.
After all, the Li family planned to start an army from Taiyuan and then attack all the way to Guanzhong.
If the Han army was too powerful and took down Daxing City before them, their plan would naturally be affected.
"Not really. Daxing City's Sui army has a lot of troops, and there are even elite troops called the Vigor Guard.”
"Furthermore, the ones overseeing the battle are General Mai Tiezhang, Master Shang, and the others.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Daozong said with certainty.
"That's right. We don't have to worry too much.”
Wen Daya, who was sitting at the side, echoed.
"Since that's the case, let's send the news back to Taiyuan.”
Li Xiaogong agreed with this point.
“………”
They obviously didn't know that this Han army was Cao Feng's army.
Otherwise, they would have immediately made the decision to withdraw from Daxing City.
