After the immortal disappeared

"You only brought me 40,000 people. If you can bring 400,000, I will really thank you."

"..."

He Lingchuan added: "If the upper level is strong, the lower level will follow suit; if the upper level is weak, the lower level will be rebellious."

Whether everyone is united or not, the key lies in the leader.

Whether the retainers and subordinates want to rebel, whether they dare to rebel, and whether they can rebel depends on him, He Lingchuan!

The human heart is the most ethereal thing in the world. Leaders like He Lingchuan know very well that loyalty comes from confidence.

If your subordinates have confidence in you, believe that you can win, lead them to improvement, and that you can overcome setbacks even if they encounter them, then they are loyal.

On the other hand, hey, what else is there to say?

"If my subordinates have any thoughts or dare to have second thoughts, the fault is mine. What are you afraid of?"

If the superior is incompetent or careless, don't blame his subordinates for turning their delusions into plans.

Heaven's behavior is constant, and only life and death are inevitable.

His attitude made Wan Qifeng's heart settle down.

Yes, this is Lord He Dao.

He didn't even dare to have a single delusion.

He Lingchuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Take a long-term view, don't just focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of you. Our goal -"

He pointed into the distance and everything was lost in words.

At this time, there was the sound of flapping wings outside, and a swift flew across the corner of the eaves, landed on the railing and fluttered its feathers, looking a little tired.

It chirped a few times at He Lingchuan and spit out a very small and thin copper tube from its crop.

New news coming.

The information sent by Yuyan is usually from a very long distance.

He Lingchuan took it in his hand, fed it a few small elixirs, thanked it and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Yan shook off the water on her body and stood on the railing to rest. While digesting the elixir, she puffed herself up into a small fur ball.

He Lingchuan then said to Wan Qifeng: "Since the Bailong people want to settle on the island, you go to Reni and Ding Zuodong to discuss it and find some serious things for the people to do. The islands are so big, there is no way to do the work. over."

The tens of thousands of new members also have to find jobs to support themselves.

For the Yangshan Islands, they are new blood, the labor force, and part of the effort to build the island and increase its strength.

"Yes!" Wan Qifeng saw He Lingchuan's letter and immediately resigned.

As soon as he walked out of Shuyu Pavilion, the slightest drop of rain hit his face, which was as cold as the day he and his old uncle seized the island.

At that time, they wanted to seize the Yangshan Islands, just to find a foothold for the tribe and develop slowly.

What now?

Now this goal has been achieved. The Bailong people have settled in the Yangshan Islands. They no longer sleep in the open air or hide in Tibet. They have hope for life and hope for the future.

And this archipelago does not require them to work hard to manage it, they just need to develop together.

More relaxed and less worried.

His and the old uncle's wish came true so naturally?

Wan Qifeng was in a daze for a moment.

After he left, the soul-capturing mirror asked He Lingchuan:

"Are you really not afraid that the Bailong clan will become a hidden danger if they become powerful?"

"Then manage it properly." He Lingchuan stroked Yuyan and walked back into the house, "Everything has pros and cons. If you want to develop, you have to bear the corresponding consequences; if you are afraid of these side effects, you have to stand still."

People cannot stop eating because of choking, they must know how to grasp the main contradiction.

"In the future, our territory will expand, our people will increase, and various forces will come to us after hearing the news." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Are you afraid of the Bailong people today, but will you be afraid of them tomorrow?"

The soul-capturing mirror hummed: "As long as you know what's going on, don't capsize in the gutter."

"Wan Qifeng is not stupid." He Lingchuan was not afraid.

After operating for more than a year, he has already firmly grasped the islands.

He is the center of the islands and the soul of the islands.

Without him, this would be just forty-two desert islands.

"Hangcha" was heard, and there was thunder in the sky.

Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier? The swifts on the corridor suddenly became more fluffy. It simply buried its head in its back feathers and prepared to have a good sleep.

He Lingchuan took out a letter from the copper tube and saw the unique mark of Songyang Mansion as soon as he unfolded it.

It was indeed a letter from afar.

In his last reply, he asked Li Qingge to help him keep an eye on the developments in the Kite Kingdom.

The chief helmsman of Songyang Mansion has moved to Bejia, but Li Qingge's information is still well-informed.

This time, it was the intelligence delivery from Yuan Kingdom.

He Lingchuan browsed the letter and quickly frowned.

The Yangshan Islands are too far away from Yuan Kingdom, and the sea journey takes more than two months. The last news delivered by brother Li Mingyang of Songyang Prefecture was that Da Sima had broken through the northern defense line of Yuan Kingdom, Ke Jihai had died in battle, Yuan City was in danger and He Chunhua was temporarily holding back his troops.

More than half a year has passed, and He Lingchuan wants to know the follow-up.

Due to the chaos in Yuan Kingdom, Songyang Mansion has long since withdrawn from Yuan Kingdom, but it still collects some information regularly.

After the great Sima Donghaoming defeated the northern front, he did not copy Hong Xiangqian's tactics and sail eastward by boat, but chose the land route.

This is not because he has any concerns, but because after Woling Pass was defeated and the rebel ships were burned, the people's livelihood in the area has never been fully restored. There are simply not so many ships that can carry Da Sima's army along the river. Down.

Moreover, Da Sima may regard Yuandu as his own possession. He is not as eager to advance eastward as the rebels in the past, but chose to fight slowly and steadily.

Marching on land will definitely be slower and there will be some disturbances along the way. So by the time Da Sima led his army to Shi Huan, more than a month had passed since the northern front was broken.

Seeing this, He Lingchuan shook his head: "Da Sima made a mistake."

If you don’t take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences.

Da Sima delayed the military plane.

Looking further down, as expected, Yuan Kingdom used this precious time of more than a month to urgently transport supplies and summon King Qin's army.

This is partly due to He Lingchuan.

He lobbied Rongshan to borrow money and grain, but it had not been used up until now.

Silver is money, and it will have an effect if you throw it away. The supplies near Yuandu are much more abundant than before.

The Royal Court of Yuandu has recovered from the fear of the northern front, and of course it is necessary to fight to the death.

Therefore, Da Sima's army encountered quite fierce resistance when it arrived near Shi Huan.

Leading the army against Da Sima were two young generals newly recommended by the national division. The dignitaries of Shi Huan and Yuandu also understood that this was a last-ditch battle, and if they failed to win, they would perish. Therefore, with money, food, and people, they managed to cobble together an army of 50,000 people!

He Lingchuan didn't know what King Yuan's reaction would be when he heard this number. Should we be happy that the Yuan Kingdom can still gather such a large army, or should we be angry that the northern front was stretched thin and the soldiers were not paid?

In the next more than five months, this army defended Shi Huan, and even fought back and forth with Da Sima!

The mirror was also reading the letter, and then he wondered: "Oh, there are three kilograms of nails in the rotten ship. Is the Yuan Palace not as rotten as I thought?"

"No, it's just that bad. It's just that Da Sima is not as strong as outsiders think." He Lingchuan denied its illusion, "Da Sima attacked Shi Huan and the capital, but it was too far away from his own Wuzhou, and the supply line was too long. I I’m afraid there may be some problems with his supplies.”

When he was in Heishui City and Shihuan, he felt that Da Sima's army was so powerful that he could defeat Ke Jihai and return to the capital to beg for food and pay.

But from his current point of view, the Yuan Ting army is not very good, so the great Sima who can fight with the Yuan Ting army for a year and a half seems not to be much more powerful.

This is just like novices pecking each other.

If it were He Lingchuan himself, even if he led Da Sima's army, he should be able to capture the capital within a month or two and change the sky for Yuan Kingdom.

Taking the letter and reading further, oh, it turns out that during the five months when the Yuan army resisted Da Sima, there were generals from the east who came to Qinwang with their troops.

"It seems that Da Sima has not won the support of the people in Yuan Kingdom. Maybe he has robbed the people near Yuan City." He Lingchuan was not just making assumptions out of thin air. The most important thing for an army fighting a war is to lack food and clothing, otherwise morale and combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced. Da Sima's army went deep into the hinterland of Yuan Kingdom. Once supplies were insufficient, they would have no choice but to take advantage of the surrounding people.

He Lingchuan had heard of many examples of wanton looting before and after siege.

At this time, He Chunhua moved——

He finally led his troops north to King Qin.

He Chunhua has been in Yazhou for more than a year since he was awarded the title of General Manager of Yazhou and pacified the Longchuan rebels. It is said that he has good political skills and is deeply loved by the people.

He Lingchuan never doubted He Chunhua's political ability. Yazhou is also the large granary of the Yuan Kingdom. In the past year, harvests were poor everywhere, and only Yazhou was uniquely blessed with at least two large grain harvests.

His luck is really good.

Where there is food, there cannot be a shortage of soldiers. He Chunhua must seize the time to cultivate Yazhou and train his troops at the same time. Therefore, during the five months when Da Sima attacked Shi Huan, he kept a low profile and bided his time and worked hard to strengthen himself.

"Your father has been in trouble for several months. Why do you want to go north at this time?" Jing Jing also asked, "Why don't you wait until the victory in the capital city is decided before you take advantage?"

"Then it's too late." He Lingchuan was also pondering, "While he was guarding Yazhou, he must always pay attention to the battle situation in the north. By choosing this time to go north, did he either see new opportunities or discover the weaknesses of Da Sima?"

For He Chunhua, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he must be cautious in taking action.

If there was no hope, why would he go north?

"It's a pity that I'm too far away from Yuan Kingdom, otherwise it would be very interesting to watch the battle up close at this time."

He Chunhua, the Supreme Lord of North China, knelt down before King Yuan as soon as he entered the royal court. He kowtowed several times until his forehead bled. He burst into tears and blamed himself for being late in escorting him, all because he was training for troops and raising food.

The intelligence from Songyang Mansion even contained such details. It was probably not conjecture, but that Li Qingge had spies in the palace.

In fact, King Kite was very anxious those days, people inside and outside the capital were distracted, and bad news kept coming one after another. King Kite even ate unwashed eggshells during his meal.

In the midst of the storm, He Chunhua's respect and loyalty as an important minister made King Yuan feel very warm.

Although He Chunhua arrived a little late, he was here after all.

At this moment, he was the ballast stone, giving Yuanting a sense of security.
