Just thinking about this kind of thing can make them feel extremely depressed.
"Captain, we can only form an alliance with him according to the conditions given by Wang Jing... Actually, thinking about it, what he said makes sense. This world is very big, and we don't have to live with him for hundreds of miles. endlessly!"
Seeing Ran Liang's uncertain expression, Huang Sheng immediately persuaded him.
He didn't have much affection for Wang Jing, but he had no choice. Now the beggar army was inferior to the other party. They would seriously consider any conditions given by Wang Jing.
What's more, Wang Jing also gave the beggar army enough face.
But Ran Liang, Zhou Gong and many soldiers of the beggar army were unwilling to accept it.
"What a shame, Wang Jing is too cheap!"
Zhou Gong was still angry.
Ran Liang remained silent. He was a member of the Heavenly King Ran Min's clan. He was highly valued by the Heavenly King before he came. He commanded thousands of people and served as a school captain at a young age.
He believes that his ability to lead troops in combat is not weak. In this new world, he can rely on his own ability to make the beggar army continue to grow.
Unexpectedly, except that it went smoothly when it first arrived.
He encountered Murong's attack and then Wang Jing's rise. All kinds of accidents made Ran Liang feel a little exhausted.
He did not immediately agree to Huang Sheng's suggestion because the arrogance in his heart had not been completely wiped out.
Woohoo!
At this time, a warning horn sound suddenly sounded outside, and Ran Liang and the others woke up immediately.
"Captain, something bad has happened. Hundreds of elite soldiers have occupied the barbarian camp outside the city!"
An army of beggars was rushing over and shouted.
"What? Where did the soldiers and horses come from?"
Ran Liang was shocked and quickly led people to climb the city wall and stood on the wall to observe the situation in the distance. I saw that the camp that originally belonged to the Hu people was occupied by hundreds of soldiers.
A red military flag was raised high.
"This... this seems to be the East Lake Army under Wang Jing's command! The general leading the army, who killed Zhang Tai not long ago, is a fierce general under Wang Jing's command!"
Zhang Hun was also among the crowd.
He couldn't help but frown when he saw the infantry led by Mai Tiezhang.
Could it be that what Wang Jing told him about forming an alliance were all lies? Otherwise, why send troops and horses outside the city?
The people of the beggar army did not wait long on the city wall.
Half an hour later.
The rumble of horse hooves came from the north. In the eyes of the beggars on the city wall, nearly a hundred cavalry were rolling in the wind and thunder, as if they were coming with strong winds.
The cavalry ran until they were a mile outside the city before stopping.
At this time, everyone on the city wall also recognized the figure leading the cavalry at the front.
"It's Wang Jing!"
After Ran Liang recognized the person's identity, his pupils shrank slightly. Because he felt that Wang Jing's aura seemed to be seven or eight times stronger than before.
Even though he was far away, he felt a sense of crisis approaching him.
After these days of constant fighting, Ran Liang's life level has also broken through from the peak of the second level to the third level. With the methods and skills inherited by the Heavenly King, his strength is also considered to be top-notch among the third level generals.
only.
Wang Jing has reached the peak of the third level, and not long ago, after killing Murong Yun, he activated 5% of the inherited power, and the suddenly enhanced power was hidden deep in his body.
The sudden increase in power caused his breath to leak out subconsciously.
The powerful and sensitive third-level generals could sense that Wang Jing's aura was like a violent wind sweeping the world, as if it could easily tear their bodies apart.
Wang Jing's strength is superior to all third-level generals.
After returning home, I began to practice White Dragon Qi. With the two talents of insight and wisdom, as well as the spiritual power nourished by the Evergreen Breathing Technique, there was almost no bottleneck in breaking through to the fourth level.
Regardless of personal strength or power, Wang Jing is above Ran Liang.
"I am in the East Lake Military Town, and the envoy Zhu Wu is here to greet the captain on behalf of my lord..."
After Wang Jing led the cavalry, they galloped over.
Zhu Wu rode up to the city alone and shouted greetings.
"Captain?"
Army Sima Huang Sheng glanced at Ran Liang with questioning eyes, wanting to know Ran Liang's attitude.
Ran Liang's face changed a few times and he let out a sharp breath.
His voice was slightly bitter as he said, "Please invite the governor to come in first!"
When Huang Sheng, Zhou Gong, Zhang Hun and others heard his tone, their expressions changed. They already knew the captain's attitude.
After seeing Wang Jing's cavalry and infantry with his own eyes.
Ran Liang finally woke up from his anger, the last trace of pride in his heart was wiped out, and he completely recognized the reality.
…
When Ran Liang recognized the reality, there was no surprise that Wang Jing formed an alliance with the beggar army.
Since Wang Jing respected the beggar army, he did not put forward any excessive conditions.
So within half a day, the two sides completed their discussions.
The city built by the Begging Army, that is, the riverside city, is the boundary. The east of the city belongs to Wang Jing, and the west is the territory of the Begging Army.
Wang Jing's Donghu County stretches nearly two hundred miles westward from the river. Doubled the territory.
This land can be used to cultivate a large amount of farmland, and it will not be a problem to feed tens of thousands of people.
The New World is vast, and the land is not valuable at this stage, especially the wasteland that has not yet been reclaimed and is not worthy of attention.
Therefore, the begging army does not suffer a loss.
In exchange, Wang Jing supported the beggar army with two hundred stones of food and grass and gave him three war horses. On the surface, both parties have mutual benefits and equal status. It was also agreed that if other forces invaded in the future, both parties would join forces to fight against the enemy.
"That's right! After forming an alliance with the Beggar Army, our army can work together to expand eastward!"
Wang Jing was quite satisfied with the result.
The Beggar Army is different from the Liangshan Water Village. Their core is the powerful Han people, with King Ran Min as the center. A few hundred veterans of the Beggar Army can defeat the Murong family and inflict losses on both sides.
And their centripetal force is very strong.
Forcibly annexing, Wang Jing is bound to pay a heavy price. He will also be called ungrateful.
Now the two sides do not invade each other and develop independently. It is best if the wells do not interfere with the rivers.
After Wang Jing formed an alliance with the other party, he did not stay outside the city for too long and directly led the cavalry back along the river, while Mai Tiezhang led the infantry to march unhurriedly.
Just like the last raid on Murong's camp, the gathered refugees came to the river, and Li Jun led the navy to send them along the river to Nanzhai.
The boat moved down the river faster than a galloping horse.
When Wang Jing returned to Nanzhai, Shen Yi and Tian Liangyun had already led a group of civil servants to start registering households for the refugees.
"Lord, our army has 20,000 soldiers, but these people are currently being settled in military camps. This is not a long-term solution..."
"Also, Nanzhai and Donghuzhai must be brought under the jurisdiction of Donghu County..."
Shen Yi said.
With the assistance of Tian Liangyun and a group of civil servants, he reduced many unnecessary trivial matters and began to focus on other places.
He was appointed as the magistrate of Donghu County by Wang Jing, and he planned from the perspective of the magistrate.
In his view, Donghu County at this time was just an empty frame. What he needs to do is no different from before. The majesty and tentacles of the county government have not been extended.
When power extends downward, the first thing to do is to formally establish a township. If it is a military camp, then establish a garrison and military town. Then fill in the officials such as township chiefs and patrol inspectors.
