The day after Wu Nian's formation defeated Jinhuan Mountain, Puguli and Wanyanxian withdrew their troops.
Jiang County.
"Ouch!"
As the rooster crows and dawn breaks, the sky gradually becomes brighter. After yesterday's battle, after martial law. Today, General Fuhan's Mansion has lifted part of the martial law.
Stores selling daily necessities such as grain and oil stores, pharmacies, and cloth shops have been opened, but other economic activities have not been opened.
People are not allowed to enter and exit the city at will.
Jiang County was originally a commercial city that brought together commerce from the north, south, and east. The partial martial law greatly damaged the prosperity of Jiang County, but there was no way to avoid unrest.
The new Fuhan General's Mansion in the city is still being expanded. Wu Nian took the county government office as a temporary auxiliary general's residence of the Han Dynasty, and commanded Jiang County and Jiubao here.
Wu Nian got up, washed up, and had breakfast. He summoned the civil and military officials currently in Jiang County and held a military meeting in the main room.
The atmosphere at the beginning was relatively relaxed.
Everyone, both civil and military, was still immersed in the joy of killing thousands of households in Jinhuan Mountain, forcing back Puguli and Wanyanxian, and occupying Jiang County.
I can't hide my happiness.
Wu Nian glanced at everyone and knew that this would not work. To be immersed in glory is bound to perish. He stopped smiling and said to everyone seriously: "Everyone, say something to destroy your prestige."
"Now our soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, and Ding County and Yuan County are still in the hands of the Meng Yuan people. Ten thousand households of the Meng Yuan people have died, and there are still hundreds of thousands of households."
"And if we fail once, the landslide and the earth will collapse. There will be no second time."
Wu Nian's words were like a basin of cold water being poured down on him. This made everyone, mainly the generals, feel cold and awe-inspiring.
"That's what the general said." Long Qie nodded and became serious.
The same goes for the other generals.
Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction. This is the attitude towards the current situation. Not to mention when powerful enemies are looking around and tigers and wolves are roaming freely.
Even if one day there is peace and quiet, you still have to be wary of changes.
There is a good saying in Taoism.
It flourishes and then declines.
If the flying dragon is behind the sky, it is possible that the dragon is trapped in the shallows.
Just like Tang Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous in the first half of his life, and wars continued in the second half of his life.
certainly. Wu Nian is now just a general supporting the Han Dynasty and dare not compare with Tang Xuanzong.
It’s just that he has such an attitude towards life.
As a human being, you can't drift.
"Last night. After receiving the news that Puguli and Wanyanxian had withdrawn, I made up my mind to capture Dingxian. Do you have any ideas? Speak freely."
Wu Nian picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea. He looked up and asked.
This is no longer the wild mountain tea from Beishanbao. It was the Yuqian Longjing that was looted from the mansions of dignitaries such as Jin Huanshan and Zhang Bu.
It’s not that Wu Nian is showing off.
He felt that drinking this Longjing tea was not as flavorful as the wild mountain tea from Beishanbao.
The military generals have obviously thought about this problem and captured the city. What general doesn't like this? But Feng Chong took the lead.
Feng rushed past the other generals and took the lead in clasping his fists at Wu Nian and saying, "My lord, I think there is one thing that must be resolved before attacking Dingxian."
"Um?!"
Wu Nian was slightly startled. This was a wrong answer.
But since you have spoken freely, you can't go back on your word.
"Say." Wu Nian said.
All the civil and military officials also looked at Feng Chong curiously, guessing that this stabbing man could tell something more important than attacking Dingxian.
Feng Chong has such a bad temper that he has no friends. As for the generals of Beishan Fort, except for Wei Ru, who is a female general, everyone has a relatively harmonious relationship.
Thorny head. It is Feng Chong’s nickname that everyone recognizes.
"Lord, attack Jiang County and fight Zhang Bu. Defend the city for three days and then leave the city for a fierce battle. Our soldiers have suffered serious losses and our organization is no longer complete."
"This is very detrimental to the attack on Dingxian."
Feng Chong had no stage fright at all, he held his head high and spoke loudly.
"Yeah. That makes sense. I plan to use the surrendered troops collected in these battles and the new recruits recruited and trained in the Nine Forts to replenish the various ministries and restore the organization."
Wu Nian nodded, but he had already thought about this issue.
All the civil and military officials nodded, there was nothing wrong with this solution. Before Wu Nian set out, he began to recruit new soldiers, just to supplement after the battle losses.
"Recruitment. Of course there is no problem for veterans to lead new recruits, but the overall combat effectiveness of the army has also declined. According to Zhuge Liang's deployment schedule, now is a critical period for survival."
"I think it should change."
"Let some school lieutenants only retain a certain core army, and let the remaining elite troops be merged with other school lieutenants. This can ensure that some school lieutenants' troops are all elite veterans."
"And to give up the elite captains, we will use the retained core army to lead new recruits."
"In other words, someone has to give up the right to send troops."
"In addition, I think lord, your heavy ax and heavy armor soldiers are very useful. But they are too bulky to use alone and require the cooperation of other arms. The left school captain and the right school lieutenant are the lord's personal soldiers. The lord should lead by example and give up some heavy axes. Heavy armor soldiers are given to the captains of each department. Establish heavy armor and heavy ax soldiers of each department's captains."
"With the increase in the size of the army, each department and captain should have heavy armor, heavy axe soldiers, cavalry, divine arm archers and other units."
"In addition, my heavy armor and heavy cavalry also need to be equipped with some light cavalry. Moreover, my heavy armor and heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses. Please give me horses and personnel. I want to expand my thousand households to full strength."
"above."
Feng Chong raised his head, looked at the generals present, and spoke aggressively.
"this!!!"
Everyone, including Chief Shi Liu Zhixing, Sima Li Yong, and Chen Jiagui who joined the army, all changed their faces slightly, showing hesitation.
The prickly head is indeed a prickly head.
Feng Chong's words are of course right, and it can be said to hit the nail on the head. Merge the remaining elites from each department to form a new elite unit that can be quickly put into battle.
The captain who was split up was training new recruits honestly and performing the task of defending the city. This is the most efficient way to deal with the current situation.
But every captain is a human being.
Everyone has selfish motives.
The army grew stronger with tears and tears, and letting the soldiers go was like cutting flesh with a knife.
What's more, Feng Chong went too far and even had the idea of Wu Nian's heavy armor and heavy ax soldiers.
The soldiers of Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, the captains on the left and right, were all the personal soldiers of the generals assisting the Han Dynasty.
Although the heavy armor and heavy ax soldiers did have shortcomings, the general's personal soldiers could not be dismantled and distributed to other captains.
Thorny's suggestion was right, but it suddenly put everyone in a difficult position.
at this time.
A soldier of Wu Nian broke in from outside with a serious look on his face. Regardless of the grand scene, he crossed the crowd and came to Wu Nian's side, lay down next to Wu Nian's ear, and said a few words.
Wu Nian stood up, looked at the soldiers, and said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
The soldier nodded, indicating that it was absolutely true.
The atmosphere in the main room suddenly changed. Everyone broke away from the embarrassment just now and looked at Wu Nian curiously.
what's going on?
