Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Hua Yunhong noticed this point and rushed forward madly.

The purpose is to wipe out all the people under his control.

As long as we launch a fearless attack, we can wipe out all the troops in their hands.

By then, Hua Yuanzheng, without any reinforcements, would be trapped.

I can't leave even if I want to.

"Let's arrange a retreat first. It won't be too late to fight again after our troops return."

At this time, Hu Weizhao suddenly spoke, because he had calculated that there were only 8,000 troops left in his hands.

The eight thousand troops can only hold out for a few days before they are completely wiped out.

Even if they didn't all die, there probably wouldn't be many left.

The soldiers under him would definitely not be happy with this kind of fighting.

It would be better to find some retreat routes. If you can retreat to the rear, give up Shenmu City first.

They might still have a chance to make a comeback.

But when he heard this, Hua Yuanzheng immediately waved his hand.

"If we withdraw from Shenmu City, what chance do we have? I won't even have an excuse to come in."

As long as Hua Yunhong is allowed to enter Shenmu City, the original accusations made by the court against him, as well as the allegation that there are treacherous ministers around him, will be completely unfounded.

He could even manipulate the imperial court and label Hua Yuanzheng a rebel again.

It would be enough to use the same method he used to deal with Fang Yuanjian.

After thinking about this, Hua Yuanzheng felt that he absolutely could not retreat.

Hearing this key point, Hu Weichao also sighed.

After thinking for a while, he whispered:

"If that's the case, we can only forcibly withdraw garrisons from other cities."

There are some county towns around Shenmu City.

The original regular military forces in these counties were no more than a thousand people.

If all these people were pulled over and sent into Shenmu City through the side door.

Maybe it can slow down Hua Yunhong's attack speed.

"Then do that for now. As for their treatment, give them a salary three times higher than usual, and ensure they have meat every meal."

"If you're willing to give more, I might be able to call over some more people."

At this time, Hu Weizhao could clearly feel that the other party did not give much.

He is a military man and knows the appetites of these people very well.

Sometimes they went out to fight, and even massacred and looted cities.

So everyone can earn more than just military pay.

But now Hua Yuanzheng is only willing to pay three times the military pay and asks them to come and fight for him.

There definitely won’t be too many troops willing to come.

After talking about this issue, he also reminded Hua Yuanzheng.

After receiving his reminder, Hua Yuanzheng frowned slightly.

In fact, he was a little embarrassed to speak up, as his wealth had been shrinking dramatically in recent days.

It was not only because a huge amount of money was spent on giving gifts to various officials in the court.

Many of them were sent to Tongbao Pavilion in order to discredit Hua Yunhong.

Now we need to leave some silver to buy military supplies.

A large portion of the money needs to be used to pay the salaries of these new recruits whose combat skills are not very high.

He is already spending more than he earns.

Even if they were only given three times the amount and promised to have meat for every meal, it would not be considered a very good treatment.

Hua Yuanzheng himself came from the northern border, so he naturally knew that what he gave was not enough.

After thinking about it, he said with determination:

"Tell them that anyone who is willing to come here can get a title."

The titles of nobility in the Shenmu Kingdom are divided into nine levels.

Although it is the lowest title, it is nothing in the eyes of many princes and nobles.

But for many ordinary families, it is already out of reach and out of reach.

If they are willing to give out titles, they will give out a lot of land.

Because when each title was awarded, the court would give out a few acres of fertile land.

Let their descendants inherit it in a real way.

The most important thing is that these titles will allow these soldiers to receive an additional salary from the court every month.

They can receive this salary while they are alive, and their descendants can inherit it after their death.

It can be said to be an invincible hardcore crop.

With such benefits, many people will fight for the Shenmu Kingdom fearlessly and continuously.

The purpose is to give our descendants a better future.

After hearing that he was willing to make such a commitment.

Hu Weichao on the side nodded with satisfaction. Only when there is enough benefit can he call more people.

"I'll arrange for someone to deliver the letter now."

Soon, they delivered the letters to various counties, and this time they did not hide their actions from Hua Yunhong.

The purpose of doing this is actually very simple.

It was because Hua Yunhong was unable to stop it after he discovered it.

This is something that troops from all over the country will respond to spontaneously.

If Hua Yunhong wanted to stop them, it meant he needed to split his troops.

Block these troops coming to support.

But if the troops are divided up, the pressure on the front battlefield will be greatly reduced.

This is also another plan of Hu Weichao.

Soon, a group of troops were intercepted by Du Zi and his men.

After learning about the situation from their mouths.

Du Zi was furious and killed everyone on the spot.

And all the troops that came to support him were treated as deserters by him.

Even their families will be affected.

The reason why Du Zi did this was very simple.

This is not only to punish these people, but also to show it to everyone in the world.

Only in this way can we intimidate them and prevent them from coming to support us.

After killing them, he quickly brought the news to Hua Yunhong.

"Your Highness, they really don't have enough soldiers in the city anymore. They are now looking for reinforcements from all directions. If we let those reinforcements come, we might be under great pressure."

"Do you mean to divide the troops to suppress these people?"

Hua Yunhong quickly understood what Du Zi meant.

Du Zi was also a little hesitant about this decision.

Because if they divided their troops and stationed them at various important roads, it would mean that the troops that had been gathered with great difficulty on the front battlefield would have to be dispersed.

This is also a delay for them.

“Is there a good way to do this without splitting up the troops?”

At this time, he quickly looked at Hua Yunhong.

Hua Yunhong is the one who makes the final decision.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said:

"Go contact Brother Tongbao and ask him to help us send out a notice."

"What notice?"

"Just tell them that if anyone is willing to support us and bring their troops over, we'll give them ten taels of silver each."

"what?!"

I heard that Hua Yunhong actually used such a huge move to intercept Hua Yuanzheng.

Even Du Zi was shocked for a moment.

"Your Highness, do you know how much silver that would cost? A conservative estimate would be tens of millions of taels of silver."

"It's just to make a comparison with Hua Yuanzheng. Compared to the title that you may not get even if you fight hard, these ten taels of silver can be obtained without any risk."

Hua Yunhong spoke calmly, his murderous intent evident.
