Wu Nian and Wang Youxiao couldn't help but pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what was going on.
"This man is fifty-two years old this year. Twenty years ago, in the southeast of Chu State, a mob was rioting. The leader was named Liu Dingguang, who was as brave as ten thousand men. The rebels attacked the city and captured the territory, and their momentum gradually grew. There were seventy or eighty thousand people. So many. At that time, Wang Zhongbi was a guerrilla general, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops. He defeated Liu Dingguang in one battle, beheaded him, and sent him to the capital of Chu, where he killed all the rebels. He became famous in one battle and became a famous general in Chu."
"There is good evidence for the imperial court to appoint Wang Zhongbi. But that was all twenty years ago, as far as I know. Now Wang Zhongbi is not only old and frail, but his martial arts skills are not as good as before, and he is also greedy for money."
"It is not certain that something will happen if he leads the troops. But things like theft of food and the sale of military supplies will most likely happen."
"But Xiong Wuwo is a famous general who will never deduct food from soldiers, let alone resell military supplies."
"The Chu State handed over these 80,000 horse infantry to Wang Zhongbi, which is like boiling a frog in warm water. The morale of the soldiers will gradually decline, and the longer it takes, the more it will rot."
Guan Jinhan organized his words again before slowly unfolding Wang Zhongbi's information and speaking it out.
When Wu Nian and Wang Youxiao heard this, they felt relieved and smiled on their faces.
"That's it. A famous general can train a group of rabble into an elite army. The 80,000-horse infantry under Xiong Wuwo originally had uneven combat capabilities. But through his hands, it can become an army that can defend the city. Resist six elite soldiers of ten thousand households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"If a mediocre general leads the troops, nothing big will happen to him."
"And a famous general who has passed away and is greedy for money. He can slowly turn an elite soldier into a rabble."
"But it takes time."
"It seems that I will not send troops to Nanhai Mansion until next year. And it is easy to capture Nanhai Mansion, but under Chunyuan's eyes, it is difficult to capture Nanhai Mansion."
"I have to be enemies with the Chu army and the Meng Yuan people at the same time."
Wu Nian's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.
Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu both nodded lightly. Now Liaodong has three pillars. Wu Nian is the enemy of the north and the south. Others will definitely destroy what Wu Nian wants to do.
If the Chu army cannot hold on, the Meng Yuan people will definitely help.
Now that the words had come to this, Wu Nian also raised his head and looked at General Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu with a smile, admiration in his eyes. After a while, he said: "You two, I won't say anything else. I'll just go straight to the point."
"I plan to use you two as captains, each leading thousands of troops. Considering that you are fighting against the kings and ministers of Chu after all, I won't embarrass you. I will return your old troops to you. You train for a while. I will move you to the northeast, occupy the city, and defend the Meng Yuan Wanhu Hou Wancheng, Jin Ruiyun, and Wan Yanxian in Guangyang Mansion."
"You are not allowed to participate in the battle against the Chu State. To prevent you from meeting your former comrades with swords."
When Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu heard this, their hearts moved and they turned to look at each other. Gratitude wells up in my heart.
Whether it's his family or his comrades who are no longer the same as before. What Wu Nian did was extremely benevolent and righteous.
What else do they not want to do?
Put yourself in their shoes, can the emperor of Chu do this for them? I'm afraid he would have been taken out and killed long ago.
"Thank you for your attention, General. I am willing to work hard for the General and fight against the Meng Yuan people." Guan Jinhan took a deep breath, stood up and knelt down on one knee to Wu Nian, and said in a deep voice.
"I am willing too." Huang Hu quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee.
"Okay. With the help of two generals, I, Wu Nian, have a better chance of winning." Wu Nian showed joy, stood up and helped the two of them, and said loudly.
Who doesn't like to hear good things?
Wu Nian did so much for them, which proved that Wu Nian valued them. Listening to Wu Nian's words again, both of them felt like they had eaten honey, and they felt very comfortable.
This matter was decided by Wu Nian. There was no grand ceremony to worship the general. Wu Nianxian asked the two of them to set off immediately to Guangchuan Mansion, take over his old troops, add some new soldiers to them, and complete the establishment of ten thousand households.
As for the seals, jackets, etc., Wu Nian sent someone to do it, and they would be delivered to them in a few days.
Then, Wu Nian asked Wang Youxiao to go and rest. He also sent people to invite Liu Zhixing and Li Yong, and asked his soldiers to bring a table with a map spread on it.
"General."
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong walked in from outside and bowed to Wu Nian.
"No courtesy." Wu Nian nodded and told the two of them the matter first. Both of them looked happy when they heard this.
This time they really won. Not only did he add two more captains, but he also asked Xiong Wuwo to get out, and a money-grubbing Wang Zhongbi came up.
As the saying goes, one thing goes down and the other goes up.
Now they are more than just waxing and waning.
"Zhixing. You will issue an official document to the entire second government and twelve counties later. Tell everyone that we have two more generals. Then, we will discuss and rearrange our troops."
"Defense on defense. Attack on offense. Be fully prepared for the next capture of Nanhai Mansion."
Wu Nian waited for a while, and after the two of them digested the matter, he raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded. Then the three of them gathered around and looked at the map on the desk with their heads lowered.
Yingqing Mansion is in the north and Guangchuan Mansion is in the south. The two sides are closely connected and have twelve cities.
And they now have eleven captains, plus a naval officer. There are a total of 130,000 to 40,000 soldiers.
Advance to attack, retreat to defend.
"Zhao Yanting asked him to continue to guard Yun County. Tieniu divided his troops to guard Ya County and Chong County."
"Guan Jinhan defended the northeastern part of Guangchuan Prefecture, Huang Hu guarded Dingxian County, Liu Wu guarded Jinghai County, and Zhang Jin defended the western part of Guangchuan Prefecture."
"Li Tianbao won't move, Long Qie will take charge of Yuan County."
"The rest of Wei Ru, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Feng Chong have all retreated to the Jiang County base camp. Wait until next year when Wang Zhongbi destroys the Chu army. We will make the final decision."
"What do you think?"
After Wu Nian pondered for a long time, he looked up at Liu Zhixing and Li Yong and asked.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong listened to Wu Nian's words and looked at the map with their heads down.
Thus. Zhao Yanting, Tieniu, Guan Jinhan, and Huang Hu became the border generals who guarded the border and confronted the Mongolian people.
The other captains are much more flexible. Wu Nian can assemble at any time to attack Nanhai Mansion in one fell swoop, or divide his forces to stop the Mongolian people from rescuing Nanhai Mansion.
That is to say, concentrated use of force.
"I think it's appropriate." Li Yong simply nodded and said without much thought.
"The general's arrangement is excellent. If something unexpected happens, it is not too late to make adjustments. But now Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu have just taken over the old department, and it will take some time before they change the defense areas and stations."
Liu Zhixing nodded lightly, then raised his head to remind Wu Nian.
"I think so too." Wu Nian smiled and nodded.
"Da da da!!" At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded. The three of them looked up together and saw a soldier of Wu Nian walking in from outside. He bent down and reported: "General, Sento Weihong is outside asking for an audience."
"Huh?!!!" Wu Nian frowned. Wei Hong? If he remembered correctly, this man was born in the Wei family and was a brother of Wei Ru.
But Wei Hong was able to make thousands of households by relying on his own ability.
When Wei Ru was leading his troops and promoting his subordinates, he was generally fair and just. Even if one's own relatives are not capable enough, they will not be promoted.
Wei Hong came to see him, which was very strange.
If anything happens, Wei Hong should report it to Wei Ru. If Wei Ru can't solve it, then Wei Ru should report it to him.
Wei Hong was unreasonable and jumped over the rank to see him.
