At this time, Sun Ru and Yuan Shu were at war and had no time to care, and other forces also had their own opponents.
Wang Jing has not been discovered by these forces yet, or in other words, they think Wang Jing is still the Liangshan Water Village that used to occupy East Lake.
The Liang Shanshui thieves had limited strength and could not pose any threat to them, so they were not taken seriously.
While other forces were not paying attention to East Lake, Wang Jing could take the opportunity to send troops and catch the opponent by surprise. This time we send troops, the chance of problems in the rear is very small.
As long as a certain force is successfully defeated, Wang Jing's problem of lack of civilians under his command can be easily solved.
Wang Jing did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, he thought about it in his mind for a long time, and then said: "It is indeed possible to send troops. According to the current situation, we can only send troops to attack the former Qin army!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Cao Army, Tang Army, and Nanliang Army were intertwined, and even Sun Ru did not dare to target them.
Not to mention Yuan Shu and Sun Ru, only the former Qin army had the opportunity.
The former Qin army had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it was a mixture of Hu and Han soldiers.
The Hu people were superior, the Han soldiers were in a low status, and there was a huge contradiction hidden in the army. In the territory they occupied, the Taiping Army and the White Lotus Army continued to move around and fight with the former Qin soldiers and horses.
Amid internal and external troubles, the combat effectiveness of the former Qin soldiers and horses was not as strong as imagined.
"Fan Yin, what's the current situation of the former Qin army?"
Wang Jing's eyes fell on the other party.
After the Beggar Army and Wang Jing reconciled and formed an alliance, Fan Yin did not return to the Beggar Army. This is understandable. If Fan Yin had done well in the beggar army, he would not have been sent to the East Lake to defend against water thieves.
It was precisely because the begging army was unsatisfied and because Wang Jing had saved his life. So Fan Yin chose to work for Wang Jing.
The Beggar Army is essentially an organization of half refugees and half powerful people seeking survival in troubled times. It cannot be said to be a betrayal or a betrayal.
After Fan Yin decided to seek refuge with Wang Jing, he never wavered again.
Even though Wang Jing kept him in Donghutun, he didn't complain much.
He used to be a team leader in the Beggar Army, or a team leader who was temporarily promoted. Wang Jing asked him to serve as a hundred households stationed in Donghu Village, which was already a promotion for him.
So knowing in his heart that he was temporarily left out because of his status as a beggar soldier, Fan Yin was able to maintain a good attitude.
Wang Jing, Shen Yi, Zhu Wu and others all noticed that he worked diligently and conscientiously. It was for this reason that Wang Jing and Zhu Wu mentioned him when they discussed the Military Intelligence Department.
Transferred Fan Yin to the Military Intelligence Department.
"My lord, the leader of the Qin army is Liang Cheng, the former Zhonglang general and the governor of Jingzhou. He has more than 40,000 troops under his command, including 20,000 combat soldiers... The Qin army general Liang Yunzheng is leading his army to attack the Taiping and Bailian armies."
"The leader of the White Lotus Army is named Peng Da. He was defeated by the Qin Army not long ago. The rest of the White Lotus Army defected to the Taiping Army. At this time, 8,000 Taiping Army soldiers were besieged by Liang Yun..."
Fein does have some abilities, and his years of struggle for survival have taught him many ways to hide himself and find out information.
Over the past few days, he selected more than a hundred people from the East Lake army and civilians. After a few days of emergency training, he divided them into small teams and spread them across the vast territory to the east.
Some of these teams were killed by cavalry sentries from various major forces, and some lost their way in the wild...
Under the cruel pressure of survival, these people quickly absorbed the experience taught by Fein.
Slowly provided a rough intelligence network to the Military Intelligence Department and provided some useful information to the East Lake Army.
But this is the limit of what they can do.
If you want to find out the secret information of the major forces, you need more investment in manpower and material resources, and a longer period of accumulation.
"Liang Cheng, former Zhonglang General and Jingzhou Governor?"
Wang Jing thought for a while, but didn't think about the other party's origin, so he glanced at Shen Yi.
Chen Yi immediately said: "Liang Cheng is a famous general in the former Qin Dynasty. He is known as the general's tiger son. He is proficient in the art of war. He once followed Wang Meng and Deng Qiang to attack Yan State, and later followed Changle Duke Fu Pi to capture Xiangyang."
"Before the Battle of Feishui, he led 50,000 troops to attack Luojian, but was defeated by the famous Eastern Jin general Liu Laozhi with 5,000 troops! He and his brother Liang Yun were killed together."
"The Battle of Luojian?"
Wang Jing thought for a while, but he had never heard of it. He only knew about the Battle of Feishui, but did not know much about the battle known as the outpost of the Battle of Feishui.
But he knew Liu Laozhi.
Liu Laozhi of the Beifu Army was Liu Yu's immediate boss and a famous general in the Jin Dynasty before Liu Yu became famous.
Liang Cheng had 50,000 troops but was defeated by Liu Laozhi with 5,000 men. This battle fully demonstrated Liu Laozhi's style as a famous general.
After knowing the origin of Liang Cheng.
Wang Jing had confidence in his heart. Regardless of the reason why Liang Cheng was defeated by Liu Laozhi, the defeat of 50,000 people by 5,000 people had already proved that his ability was not that strong.
"Liang Yun led his army to besiege the Taiping Army. In this case, we will send troops to attack Liang Yun first!"
Wang Jing made up his mind immediately.
"Chen Yi, prepare food and supplies!"
"Zhu Wu, go and summon Mai Tiezhang, Mu Hong, and Jiang Zhixiong! Let Li Jun prepare the boat!"
Shen Yi and Zhu Wu accepted the order solemnly.
The main force of the former Qin army was stationed in Sihong, and Liang Cheng was personally stationed there.
Liang Yun, who attacked the White Lotus Army and the Taiping Army, led ten thousand soldiers and horses like an iron net to sweep back and forth near Sihong, annihilating dozens of large and small forces.
As long as the Taiping Army is defeated again, hundreds of miles of territory surrounding the former Qin Army can be completely cleared.
Compared with Liang Cheng, Liang Yun's ability and reputation were much lower. In history, it was also because of Liu Laozhi's achievements that he was regarded as a famous general and went down in history.
This kind of general is probably not as good as a wheat iron staff.
Of course, Wang Jing can only know the opponent's strength by seeing it with his own eyes.
Soon, Shen Yi prepared all the food and supplies, and assigned a guard station to transport food and grass to serve as auxiliary troops.
The king ordered two thousand infantrymen and two hundred cavalry troops to attack, with a total of 2,200 soldiers.
He appointed himself as the commander, Mai Tiezhang was promoted to Zheng Qianhu, Fan Yin was appointed as deputy Qianhu and went out with the army. Two thousand infantry took a boat and flew down the river into Sihong.
Mu Hong led two hundred cavalry along the river.
The boat crossed the East Lake and entered the spacious river channel. Huaibei Sishui, Bianhe, Anhe... large and small rivers are constantly intersecting, and the river network is densely covered.
In mainland China, these rivers have widened ten times.
The river is turbulent, the waves are rolling, there are trees and grass on both sides of the river, and there are endless reeds.
The former Qin army also had naval forces under their command, but according to intelligence, their naval forces were stationed in Sihong to guard against forces further east and the water thieves and naval forces in Hongze Lake.
Their defenses against the waters to the west were not very well guarded.
Under Fan Yin's guidance, the East Lake navy galloped all the way and soon entered the territory of the former Qin army.
The ship quickly docked, and Wang Jing led two thousand soldiers to land quickly. Tian Liangyun accompanied the army to move supplies, and the recently promoted Qianhu of the guard station carried down the food, grass and baggage.
