"Ho-ho-kill-"

In the military camp of Ganyang City Guard, 20,000 newly recruited soldiers are being trained under the supervision of officers at all levels.

This military camp was originally a horse farm of the Ganyang Army. It was very large and was directly allocated to Sun Hao's Xiangjun Guard by Prince Yong'an.

Thanks to the generosity of Prince Yong'an, although the Ganyang City Guards had just been established, the weapons, armor, and uniforms of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers had been fully equipped.

Prince Yong'an even allocated more than 5,000 war horses captured from the Xiongnu to the Ganyang City Guards so that they could form four cavalry battalions.

Sun Hao looked at the officers and soldiers who were training on the parade grounds, then turned to Deputy Commander Geng Jing beside him and said, "Brother Geng, the soldiers' training is quite intense, so their food must be guaranteed.

We must not only ensure that the soldiers are well fed, but also that they are well fed. It would be best to send people to purchase more meat."

After nearly a month of getting along, the relationship between Sun Hao and Geng Jing and other generals transferred from the Imperial Guards has become very harmonious.

The main reason was that Sun Hao was very good at winning people's hearts. He would invite these people to the brothel under the name of Sanshui Society almost every other day, and all the expenses were paid by Sun Hao.

In addition, Sun Hao also gave Deputy Commander-in-Chief Geng Jing, four generals, four deputy generals, sixteen captains and sixteen deputy captains, each of them a house in Ganyang City.

The mansion given to Deputy Governor Geng Jing has seven courtyards and nearly a hundred houses. Sun Hao also assigned two maids with a charm value of 90 points each for the mansion.

In the process of cleaning up the gangs in Ganyang City, King Yong'an not only beheaded many core members of the gangs in order to make money, but also raided their homes.

What's even more cruel is that Prince Yong'an demoted the wives and daughters of the core members of the gang to official slaves and sold them to some brothels and prostitution shops in Ganyang City.

In fact, those gangs that have been removed from the list control almost 30% of the brothels and half of the prostitutes in Ganyang City, as well as about 40% of the gambling houses.

However, Prince Yong'an had no interest in running these gambling and sex businesses, so he transferred all the brothels, prostitutes and gambling houses to the remaining seven major gangs at low prices, among which Sanshui Gang took the largest share.

The two beautiful maids given to Geng Jing were once concubines of a gang leader.

Sun Hao actually gained extra benefits from this major reshuffle of the gang.

During the period when the Ganyang City Guards were recruiting soldiers, Sun Hao visited all the brothels in Ganyang City, including those under the name of the Sanshui Society, to look for new faces who had just fallen into prostitution.

In the end, Sun Hao found ten women with charm values of 95 or more among the wives and daughters of the murdered gang bosses, and thus got ten opportunities to sign in for the "annual sign-in system".

After Sun Hao had used up all ten sign-in opportunities, he heard that ghostly voice twelve times in his ears.

A total of two Wei Wuzu hundred-man generals and two Qin Ruishi hundred-man generals signed in, each time with 128 people, that is, 256 Wei Wuzu and 256 Qin Ruishi.

He signed in a hundred Modao soldiers, but he actually signed out two hundred and fifty-six people.

In addition, there was a sign-in for a hundred-man commander of the Black Armor Cavalry, a sign-in for a hundred-man commander of the Beiwei Cavalry, a sign-in for a hundred-man commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and a sign-in for a hundred-man commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, all of which had a total of 128 people signed in.

The remaining three sign-ins showed the arrival of six powerful generals, namely Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu (Sui and Tang Dynasties), Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang, and Du Fu (Water Margin).

The combat power values of Xue Rengui and Yuwen Chengdu are both 100 points. What surprises Sun Hao is that Xue Rengui and Yuwen Chengdu's martial arts are a little bit better than Xiong Kuohai and Pei Yuanqing.

The four of them had many private competitions, and although it was difficult to determine the winner most of the time, the one with the best martial arts should be Xue Rengui, followed by Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Yuanqing ranked third, and Xiong Kuohai was last.

Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang, and Du Fu, who have the same mark as the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, all have a combat power value of 95 points.

Now, in addition to the 300 Wei Wu soldiers, 300 Qin Ruishi, 100 Xuanjia cavalry and 100 Beiwei cavalry who were incorporated into the Ganyang city guards.

Sun Hao still had 279 Wei Wuzu, 294 Qin Ruishi, 371 Modaomen, 284 Xuanjiaqi, 284 Beiweiqi, 311 Hubaoqi, 312 Xiliang iron cavalry and 18 Yanyunqi by his side, serving as his family soldiers.

Deputy Commander Geng Jing then said with a wry smile, "General, because the trade route with Gule Kingdom has not yet been opened, all kinds of meat are in short supply in Ganyang City, and the prices are also very high.

It’s already very difficult to let the soldiers have a little bit of oil and a full meal every day.”

Sun Hao frowned and said, "I'll try to find a way from the Sanshui Association to see if I can get some meat to improve the soldiers' food.

By the way, is there any new news from Quan'an City today?"

Geng Jing shook his head. "No new news has come back today, but I don't think the Wang family in Quan'an City will last much longer. After all, Quan'an City is just an isolated city now."

On the wall of Quan'an City in Suide County, Pizhou, Wang Lian, the Grand Commander of the Huaide Protectorate, looked at a middle-aged man with a grim expression and asked, "Are you saying that Xuanyang City has fallen?"

Xuanyang City is an important town in Suide County and also a border fortress to guard against the Xiongnu Khanate.

The Huaide Army currently has six guards under its jurisdiction, divided into the Left Guard, Right Guard, Vanguard, Rear Guard, South Guard, and North Guard. Each guard has about 20,000 people, including the Huaide Vanguard and Huaide Rear Guard, which have been stationed in Xuanyang City.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Grand Commander, I never thought that General Cao Liang of the Second Brigade of the Vanguard, and General Li Ke of the Third Brigade of the Rear Guard, would betray our Huaide Army and secretly open the gates of Xuanyang City.

When the soldiers of the vanguard and rearguard brigades saw the Imperial Guards enter the city, they all laid down their weapons. The Imperial Guards captured Xuanyang City almost without a fight, and even incorporated the front and rear guards of our Huaide Army."

The middle-aged man was the commander-in-chief of the Huaide vanguard. His name was Wang Zhen, and he was the cousin of Wang Lian, the Grand Commander of the Huaide Protectorate.

"Prince Yong'an released you to persuade me to surrender?" Wang Lian asked coldly.

Wang Zhen sighed, "That's true, Prince Yong'an said..."

"What did he say?"

"As long as the Grand Commander opens the city gate, he can guarantee the lives of all of us in the Wang family."

Wang Lian shook his head and said, "I don't believe him. Our Wang family has occupied Suide County for decades, and the imperial court hates our Wang family to the core.

If our Wang family surrenders, we will likely be exterminated."

Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment, "Grand Commander, but now the Vanguard, Rearguard, Southern Guard, and Northern Guard have all surrendered.

How can we, with only 40,000 men from the left and right guards of the city, resist the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Prince Yong'an?"
