"Don't worry, Mr. Guan!" Fu Cunshen promised in a deep voice.
Although Fu Cunshen in the novel can not be called a famous general like Fu Cunshen in history, Fu Cunshen can also be said to be brave and resourceful.
Among Li Cunxiao's flying tiger generals, Fu Cunchen's ability is undoubtedly the first. Among the six people, An Xiuxiu, Xue Atan, Li Hanzhi, Xue Tieshan, He Heihu, and Pan Zhong, only one Li Hanzhi could barely compete with Fu Cunshen.
Fu Cunshen could tell at a glance that Guan Zhong was interested in the thousands of soldiers and horses captured in Yecheng.
That's right, the quality of the 30,000 members of the Qijiao Gang is not bad, and they are basically strong and strong. The 30,000 members of the Qijiao Gang can be said to be a good source of soldiers, and their quality can be guaranteed.
However, the 30,000 members of the Qijiao Gang were all from gangs and did not know the battle formations. If they encountered those well-trained soldiers and horses, they would be just a bunch of rabble.
The thousands of captives who were captured were different. They were all former soldiers. They may not be qualified to compare with the border troops or the Forbidden Army in terms of combat power, but there was no problem in arranging the military formation.
If these thousands of prisoners and the thirty-seven thousand dragon gangs are integrated and reorganized, then this army will be formed as quickly as possible.
The wide opening of the treasury can, on the one hand, win the hearts of these captives, and on the other hand, it can also make these captives drift away from the court.
At the same time, the purpose of rewarding the Seven Dragon Gang is to avoid imbalance between the two parties.
Moreover, assimilating thousands of captives with a gang of 37,000 dragons can also prevent these captives from causing chaos as much as possible.
"In addition, if we invite Li Ci here to pacify Hebei Province, I'm afraid we can't do without Li Ci's help!" Guan Zhong ordered again.
Although Li Mingjing and Li Cishi had only a moderate relationship with the powerful families in Hebei Province, he was deeply popular among the common people.
Simply conquering a place is not enough. In addition to capturing it, we must also win over the people's support.
And if they had the help of an important person like Li Mingjing, then they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, Guan Zhong also thought of a second generation ancestor, Beiming Qingliu. Although he is a second-generation ancestor, he is also the second-generation ancestor of the Beiming family. Moreover, the second-generation ancestor of the Beiming family has a somewhat special status among the Beiming family.

"Well done! Well done, Mr. Guan and General Li!" When the news of Yecheng's capture reached Ji'an City, Han Xin, Wen Zhong and others all clapped their hands and applauded.
To shoot people, shoot horses first, and to capture thieves, capture kings first. Yecheng is the government of Hebei Province. For Hebei Province, Yecheng is the brain of Hebei Province.
This time, for Han Xin and Wen Zhong, when they heard the news, the entire war situation in Hebei Province began to become clear.
With this in Yecheng, Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong will be passive next. Han Xin and Wen Zhong each have many ideas about the next battle.
Han Xin stared carefully at the two places on the map, Tai'an and Zuozhen. These two places have concentrated a large number of troops from Hebei Province. After taking these two places, the situation in Hebei Province will be very different. .
"General Wen thinks, what should our army's next target be in Tai'an and Zuozhen?" Han Xing raised his chin with his fist and asked thoughtfully.
Although there are many generals in the army, in fact, only Wen Zhong is the only one who can catch Han Xin's eyes. The other generals may also have abilities, but they are all standard generals, but they are not true generals.
A general is hard to find, but a general is even harder to find.
Of course, in Han Xin's view, although Wen Zhong is also a general, sometimes he is not good at adapting and cannot become a top general.
"Taian!" Wen Zhong said firmly.
Tai'an, Jiming and Zuozhen were guarded by Chu Jingzhong, which was also an important place from Hebei Road to Henan Road. Jiming and Zuozhen were guarded by two mature and prudent generals respectively.
Huangfu Wugui, the marching general of Hebei Province, led the most mobile cavalry troops outside and was ready to provide support to the three places at any time.
In the previous battle at Jiming, Huangfu was defeated and fled. In a panic, he arrived at Tai'an, which was originally guarded by Chu Jingzhong.
And as long as Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong are resolved, it means that the biggest nail in Hebei Road has been removed.
Moreover, Wen Zhong did not choose Tai'an blindly. After all, this is really a hard nail. If one is not good, it will pierce his hand.
If Wen Zhong wants to, if Ye City is lost, Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong will definitely find a way to mobilize troops for rescue, and in the process, they will inevitably become anxious. Once Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong become anxious, it will be a great opportunity for them to go to war.
"In my opinion, it's better to start with Zuo Zhen first!" Han Xin shook his head and said.
The first is to fight with troops, and the second is to fight with friends. Han Xin fights. Compared with directly fighting hard battles, he still prefers to win by strategy.
As far as he knows, Yao Guangxiao's actions in Zuozhen have made considerable progress, and the attitude of the defenders of Zuozhen has been relaxed. At this time, he should focus on this place. If he can completely force the surrender of Zuozhen, Soldiers, the harvest will definitely be greater than fighting a tough battle with Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong.
If Zuozhen's troops can be forced to surrender, then Han Xin, Guan Zhong, and Zuozhen's troops will surround Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong, and the final opportunity will come to pacify Hebei Province in one fell swoop. With an absolutely upright army fighting Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong, Han Xin was confident enough to win.
"Although Zuozhen is good, if we fail to persuade him to surrender, we may miss a good opportunity!" Wen Zhong said hesitantly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong returned to Yecheng, they took the initiative to send troops to cooperate with Yao Guangxiao's forced surrender of the Zuozhen garrison. This was of course a quite perfect ending.
However, once things fail to succeed, once the Zuo Zheng general is not successfully persuaded to surrender, then all the good situations will be ruined.
"General Zuo Zhen has already persuaded Mr. Yao. Now that the news has arrived in Yecheng, and our army is pressing us, how can we not surrender!" Han Xin said with the same firmness.
Han Xin is at least 70% sure about Zuozhen. 70% sure, this is enough. For some generals, not to mention 70% certainty, even 50% certainty is enough for them to give it a try.
