Due to his own particularity, Lu Yue is a huge threat, but he is still a person after all!
After conquering Chengdu, the Jin army had a more important thing to do, which was to return to Sizhou to aid as soon as possible.
Don't think that it is easy for reinforcements to return to Sizhou after winning. Yizhou is limited by its geographical location, and it is particularly difficult to get in and out. Just marching along the way will take a long time.
However, sending reinforcements does not require troops from Wang Meng's side, but Li Jing's side is responsible.
As a result, Li Jing had more troops and horses.
Secondly, the distance between Li Jing's location and Sizhou is relatively shorter.
Thirdly, although Wang Meng has already captured the city of Chengdu, he has only captured one Chengdu city. The rest of the hinterland of Yizhou needs Wang Meng's soldiers and horses to slowly recover.
Of course, this is not a problem. After all, even Liu Che, the leader, has perished, and there are a few remaining people who will insist on resisting to the end.
The most critical point after that is that although the war in Yizhou is not over yet, it is obvious that there is no need for so many soldiers and horses in Yizhou.
Although there are still a large number of Shu army soldiers and horses in the sword pavilion, as long as Li Jing and Yang Xuangan work together to seal the two holes, there is no need to fight anymore. They only need to wait for the enemy's food to run out, and they can defeat the enemy without fighting.
No matter how much food and grass is accumulated in the Jiange, how long can Zhou Yafu last for so many soldiers and horses?
At this time, Yizhou's geographical location has become their most advantageous part. With the help of Yizhou's geographical location, they can use appropriate troops and horses to cut off any way for Zhou Yafu to break out.
As a result, Zhou Yafu would not only starve to death. There is only one option left: surrender!
Therefore, at this time, it was obviously a waste for Li Jing to leave more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 troops there. Sending more than 100,000 troops back to Sizhou was not a big problem at all. Regarding the situation in Yizhou It won't have any impact.
Precisely because of the critical situation in Sizhou, the first thing Wang Meng and the others did after they conquered Chengdu City was not to announce a plan to pacify the people and restore order in the city. Instead, they immediately sent a letter to Li Jing to inform Li Jing that Chengdu City had been breached. matter so that Li Jing could send troops and horses back to the headquarters as soon as possible.
In just five days, after Floating Water Fang tried every means to expedite the transmission of the information, Li Jing had already received the news that the city of Chengdu had been destroyed and that Liu Che, one of the top princes in the world, was about to perish.
After receiving this news, all the generals were refreshed.
This battle has been going on for so long, and it has even directly and indirectly triggered a war all over the world, but at this time, it is finally coming to an end.
Like Wang Meng and others, Li Jing also realized that it was no longer necessary to keep so many troops and horses in Yizhou, and it was time to transfer some of the troops and horses out of Yizhou.
To be honest, although Sizhou and Jingzhou won many battles during this period, they also suffered a lot of losses, and all of these losses were due to insufficient military strength.
Like Li Mu's loss in Jiangxia and Zhuge's loss in Nanjun, it was all because the enemy's strength was several times ours. Under attack from all directions, it was impossible to defeat the other with only one fist.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang came with a wave of extreme explosions, which brought the greatest turning point to this battle.
But now, their troops can be mobilized, and it's time to teach those princes how to behave!
When they heard that Li Jing was preparing to return to Sizhou to aid, the eyes of many generals had already lit up. There were so many powerful generals among the princes in the world that these generals had long wanted to have a meeting!
Moreover, although Yizhou still has a huge cake, it also has a huge contribution. But at this point, generals with a little bit of brains would know that this credit actually had nothing to do with them.
On the contrary, on the other side of the Sizhou battlefield, not only can you see the talented people from all over the world, but you can also compete for more military exploits.
"I will personally lead 150,000 soldiers and horses to come back for reinforcements. I will hand over Zhou Yafu's troops to the general to handle the situation!" Li Jing said.
Wang Meng was far away in Chengdu city, and among the remaining governor-level figures, apart from Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, there was only one Wei Qing left. The remaining ones, even if they are the highest, are only deputy governor-level figures.
With these two governor-level figures present, of the two of them, one must be responsible for returning to aid Sizhou, while the remaining one is responsible for dealing with the last remaining Zhou Yafu's troops.
After some careful consideration, Li Jing finally handed over Zhou Yafu's huge contribution to Wei Qing.
This is almost a free effort. All you need to do is block the opponent's way out, and then you only need to wait until the enemy's food and grass are exhausted and they are forced to come out and surrender. At most, they can only be cautious and pay attention to the enemy's dying counterattack.
It is precisely because of this that many generals hope to return to Sizhou with the army instead of staying in Yizhou. Zhou Yafu's last great contribution in Yizhou was obviously reserved for the general here. It had nothing to do with the people below. At most, it was just a little bit of water.
As for Li Jing leaving this unearned credit to Wei Qing, it was purely a favor!
Li Jing still has considerable political acumen. He knows very well that after this war is over, his position will inevitably rise again.
But he is already a governor now, if he can rise further. We can't let him take over as the governor of several states! This is a normal person. You won’t just hand over the military power of several states to one person! Therefore, there is a high probability that it is still a false position without actual military power!
Moreover, if his guess is correct, I'm afraid he will have to be silent for a long time! If there are one or two more big battles like this, Li Jing will inevitably be suspected of being a master of great achievements.
If there really is such a big battle, even if Li Xiang is willing to let Li Jing fight, Li Jing may not really dare to take it.
And Li Jing gave Zhou Yafu's free work to Wei Qing, just to give Wei Qing a greater chance of removing the code of acting governor from his head after this battle.
In this battle, both Wu Qi and Yang Xuangan, who were at the deputy governor level, performed very well. If Wei Qing did not take the credit of Zhou Yafu, he really might not be able to secure the position of the next full governor.
After all, Wei Qing is also the queen's brother and the uncle of Li Xiang's eldest son. Li Jing always wants to do some favors.
