Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 154 The Eve of the Attack
To the west of Wanren City, this area has developed into a large cotton plantation.

Han Chufan's old acquaintances, Ankangbao team officer Sun Shouyi and deputy team officer Tian Fang, were inspecting the tenants' work.

The two people who had nothing to do in Qingxiangwei had the idea of ​​growing cotton near Wanren City after seeing the rapid development of Ping'anbao Textile Factory.

The two also specially found a few old acquaintances and inquired inside Ping'an Fort about the prospects of setting up a cotton plantation.

The response was positive and cotton plantations had great prospects.

The two gritted their teeth, took out all their savings, and borrowed thousands of taels of silver coins from the First Bank.

To the west of Wanren City, more than 100 acres of land were allocated and a cotton plantation was established.

"These barbarians are so damn lazy. They get lazy when they're not being looked at." Sun Shouyi complained.

"Yes, my lord, but there is no other way. It is cheaper to hire barbarians. If it were replaced by our human tenants, it would cost several times the money." Tian Fang said.

Most of the barbarians are slaves, hired from Wanren City, and are cheap. However, the barbarians are lazy by nature and cannot compare with the hard-working humans.

Moreover, few of the humans who came all the way to Wanren City were willing to be tenants.

Most of them came here to reclaim land for themselves. If you want to recruit human tenants here, you have to spend several times the money.

“Oh, I have to make do.

Lao Tian, ​​now in Qingxiangwei, in addition to the Ankangbao Textile Factory, there are already businessmen running private textile factories. Our plantations have great prospects. "

"Yes, sir, I think within a few years, we will be able to secure the capital and the First Bank loan.

At that time, the rest will be pure profit, and it is estimated that you can earn about a thousand taels of silver coins a year. Tian Fang also said excitedly.

"Well, what's the point of staying in Ankang Fort? We have to go out and have a chance to make a fortune.

This grassland is really vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance. "

"Have you noticed, sir, that there have been more and more troops in Wanren City recently?" Tian Fang whispered.

Sun Shouyi thought for a while and said, "It seems that our Marquis Pingbei is about to make a new big move."

"What do you mean, sir, is that Marquis Pingbei will launch a second conquest against the barbarians?"

"It may not be impossible, our Marquis Pingbei is a very ambitious person.

I heard that the barbarians were defeated by the Wu tribe in the east. Their elite troops suffered heavy losses and even had to cede territory to pay compensation.

Pingbei Hou may not take advantage of the opportunity to capture more lands of the barbarians. "

The two of them watched Han Chufan rise from a small military household to a commanding officer step by step.

He was even canonized as Pingbei Hou of Daxia.

How could such a legendary figure be content with the status quo?

Tian Fang noticed that the number of troops in Wanren City was increasing, and Sun Shouyi made his own guess.

But none of this has much to do with them, unless Han Chufan is defeated and loses Wanren City.

Then their cotton plantations will be in vain.

Obviously that situation is impossible.

With Han Chufan's current strength, it is more than enough to deal with the weakened barbarian city.

Unless the barbarians mobilized the whole country to attack Han Chufan, it would be difficult to pose any threat to Han Chufan with only one or two large city armies.

Tian Fang and Sun Shouyi often saw the New Army training, so they naturally knew how brave and invincible the New Army was.

Han Chufan has arrived at Wanren City, and is discussing this battle in the city lord's palace of Wanren City.

Sitting below him were Liu Tianfei, Qiu Xuanyu, He Zidong, Geng Chunping, Sun Fangyu, Wei Qian, Zhang Yuan and others.

The important generals of the new army also came to Wanren City.

Han Chufan glanced at them and started today's topic directly. "Everyone, I have decided to attack the barbarians again. I believe everyone has heard the news before.

Let me tell you directly, this time the target is Qiongzhong City and Qingyi City of the barbarians.

Qiongzhong City and Qingyi City are to the northwest of Wanren City.

The city, which belongs to the southern territory of the barbarian Dayuan Kingdom like Wanren City, has a history of hundreds of years.

These two large cities are stronger than Wanren City in terms of strength, with a population of hundreds of thousands and a military strength of around [-] to [-].

My plan is to first go west and capture Qiongzhong City, and then go north and capture Qingyi City.

After taking these two big cities, the entire hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of barbarian southwest land will become ours. "

Everyone looked at the territory drawn by Han Chufan on the map. This large area of ​​land was almost equivalent to the area of ​​a state in Daxia.

With such a large area of ​​land, their strength will skyrocket again.

"Do you have any other comments or anything to add?" Han Chufan asked.

"Sir, we can easily deal with the army of the barbarian city.

But we still have to be careful about the elite royal guards of the barbarians. Liu Tianfei said.

"Yes, sir, we still have to be careful with the barbarian royal guards." Geng Chunping agreed.

“The barbarian Royal Guards, on the Eastern Front battlefield, have just been wiped out by the Witch Clan, with [-] to [-] elite soldiers.

There are estimated to be 8 or [-] elite troops left.

And according to reports from our intelligence department, the remaining royal guards of the barbarians are stationed in the Dongyuan City area.

Dongyuan City is thousands of miles away from us, and it will take at least ten days to get here.

By the time they arrive, we will have already captured these two big cities.

These remaining royal guards are the lifeblood of the Dayuan royal family and nobles. I don't think they dare to take risks easily and fight to the death with us.

Once the Royal Guards are gone, the status of Dayuan's royal family and nobles will not be guaranteed, and city lords everywhere may rebel against them.

Besides, this time we dispatched more than 2 new troops to attack Qiongzhong City and Qingyi City. Even if their royal guards come, we are not afraid. "

Han Chufan's words were full of confidence. Now the new army has expanded to more than 3 people, and more than 1 new recruits are stationed at Ping'an Fort.

More than [-] veterans have come to Wanren City, ready to fight. Even if the barbarian royal guards come, they will never return.

Everyone agreed with Han Chufan's words, and they naturally had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the new army.

"Your analysis is correct."

Han Chufan chatted with them about the details of the battle, wrote and drew on the map, and finalized the final battle plan.

"Seven days later, I will personally lead the army to attack Qiongzhong City and Qingyi City.

You all, you will win. "

All the soldiers stood up one after another and shouted loudly: "We will win."

Afterwards, Han Chufan returned to his room.

"You've had a hard day, sir. Let's soak your feet first."

Wei Ling'er also followed Han Chufan to Wanren City and waited on him.

Han Chufan took off his shoes and soaked his feet comfortably, his mind already in the spiritual space.

In the vast virtual world, a 29-foot-tall giant tree stands majestically.
