Wang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhang has known me for such a long time, so he should know my character. If it hadn't been for the protection of the Beggar Army, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
"I am very grateful to Colonel Ran and Brother Zhang. I will never take the initiative to make an enemy of the beggar army unless I have to!"
"Now that I have defeated Murong Xianbei and eliminated a powerful enemy for Captain Ran, if Captain Ran is willing to swear an oath with me, I am willing to share this territory with him!"
"But...if Captain Ran has the ambition to dominate this place, then I can only accompany him! Brother Zhang, the focus now is not on me, but on what Captain Ran thinks!"
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Zhang Hun knew this very well. Originally, when Murong Xianbei was around, the Beggar Army could ally with Wang Jing. Now that their powerful enemy has been destroyed, the two will compete for hegemony in this territory.
Zhang Hun didn't expect that Wang Jing would say this.
He was stunned for a moment. Don't know how to reply.
"After Brother Zhang goes back, you might as well tell Captain Ran about my attitude. Now the new world is vast and vast, with countless creatures and countless forces distributed. It is not impossible for the Beggar Army and me to coexist! If possible, the Beggar Army will go west , I head east, and we form an alliance to expand outward!"
Wang Jing said sincerely.
Zhang Hun said: "I will definitely report these words to the captain!"
Hearing Wang Jing's response, he felt a little relaxed.
Because he felt that what Wang Jing said was right. The new world they were in was vast and not the original world in history. They had to fight fiercely for a piece of land.
The New World is a vast land, and both sides can coexist.
Zhang Hun and Zhu Xin didn't stay too long.
Their mission is to observe the fighting situation between the two sides and report back quickly. So I took the initiative to say goodbye soon.
"I don't know if Ran Liang will agree to form an alliance!"
Wang Jing looked at the two people leaving and said with emotion.
At this time, Zhu Wu and Mai Tiezhang came over. Hearing this, Zhu Wu smiled and said: "Now that our army is strong, the beggar army has been fighting with the barbarians for so long and has been consumed. It is no longer the opponent of the lord!"
"If Ran Liang is not confused, he must understand that forming an alliance with our army is the best choice now!"
"If he is really stubborn and insists on being an enemy of our army, it won't take much effort to destroy the beggar army!"
Wang Jing waved his hand.
"If you can avoid being an enemy of the beggar army, try not to take action. The other party will be considered kind to me!"
"But in order to prevent Captain Ran from making a wrong decision, I have to help him!"
"Mai Iron Staff!"
Mai Tiezhi immediately handed over his hand, "My subordinate is here!"
"You take 700 infantry and go south first, and camp five miles outside the Beggar Army City!"
Wang Jing said.
He was preparing to "show off his power" and let Ran Liang know the gap between the Beggar Army and the East Lake Army. When Wang Jing led the cavalry south, Ran Liang would be able to recognize the reality no matter how confused he was.
After Mai Tiezhang took the order, he set off directly with 700 infantry.
At this time, there were still a lot of supplies left on the battlefield at the foot of the hillside, and these supplies and weapons were continuously collected by civilians.
"Lord, our army has gathered more than 2,400 young men and women this time, including more than 300 prisoners. They are infantry selected by the barbarians. How to deal with these people, please decide, my lord!"
Zhu Wu said.
Wang Jing said casually: "The captives will first be organized into a coolie camp, brought back to Donghu Village to build the city, cultivate farmland, and undergo labor reform first. If they perform well, they will be converted into auxiliary soldiers!"
Zhu Wu nodded secretly.
The foot soldiers selected by the Hu people have been helping the tyrants and even eating human flesh along with the Hu people. They cannot be compared with the prisoners in Liangshan Water Village.
"Other refugees, select some of the young ones to replenish the lost ones, and bring the rest back to Nanzhai and let them recuperate for a few days!"
This time the Murong clan was destroyed. Some of Wang Jing's cavalry were killed, and nearly a hundred infantry were also killed.
After all, they are all new recruits, so this loss is acceptable.
"Including the people gathered this time, the number of Dingkou under his command will be nearly 20,000... When the number of Dingkou reaches 50,000 or 100,000, it will be time to divide the fields!"
Wang Jing thought to himself.
Pure farming can only solve the problem temporarily. If this continues for a long time, some people will work hard and others will be lazy. Everyone has selfish motives. In the end, the effect of farming will become worse and worse.
The sign that the power is truly on the right track is to divide the fields so that every common person has his own field, and then Wang Jing collects taxes from it!
The more farmers there are, the stronger the centripetal force of power.
Of course, these are all things that need to be done later. The number of people is not enough now, so we can only make preparations first.
…
Return with Zhang Hun and Zhu Xin.
News of Wang Jing's defeat of Murong Xianbei also spread.
Everyone in the beggar army was shocked after hearing the news. The Xianbei Hu people had been fighting with them for so many days, and no one would think that the Hu people were vulnerable.
The more they understand the Hu people, the more they know their strength.
It was just the three to four hundred Hu cavalry that prevented the beggar army from leaving the city. Once they left the city, they would be defeated. This was the consensus of everyone.
As a result, the Xianbei Hu people were sitting with hundreds of cavalry. His head was bruised and bloody in Wang Jing's hands.
Even the Hu generals who constantly fought against Zhou Gong, the captain of the beggar army, and Ran Liang, the school captain, all died in this battle.
This news was unacceptable to some people in the Beggar Army.
In a room near the river.
Ran Liang frowned tightly, while Army Sima Huang Sheng and Captain Zhou Gong knelt on both sides. There are only three of them left in the core of the beggar army.
Another captain, Zhen Hu, was fighting with elite barbarians on the city wall a few days ago. He was accidentally hit hard and died of his injuries.
The other teams, even their top players, have lost more than half of their strength.
The original core team of the Beggar Army suffered too many losses, and half of their heritage was lost.
Ran Liang's brows had lingering gloom and anger. His eyes swept over the two of them and said slowly: "You have all heard what Zhang Hun reported just now! Tell me, what should we do next? "
"There is nothing we can do, captain. We have been fighting with the barbarians for so many days and lost half of our troops. Wang Jing has annexed the Liang Shanshui bandits and is in full swing... We are no match for Wang Jing now!"
Huang Sheng said bitterly.
"This bastard has no other abilities, and his ability to pick up bargains is not weak! If we hadn't held back the Hu people and exhausted them, there would have been no way that bastard Wang Jing would have won!"
Zhou Gong slapped the wooden case in front of him, causing the wooden case to vibrate.
Just as Wang Jing had guessed at the beginning.
Ran Liang, Zhou Gong and Huang Sheng of the Beggar Army all believed that the Beggar Army made the greatest contribution in defeating the Xianbei Hu people.
If they had not relied on the city to fight each other for many days, both sides would have suffered losses.
Why did Wang Jing defeat the barbarians with one blow?
it's good now. The results of their bloody battle for many days were stolen by Wang Jing. They got nothing from the begging army.
