After Shen Yi arrived, Wang Jing's busy schedule was reduced by half.
Wang Jing handed over the affairs of reassuring and pacifying the people in Sihong City to Shen Yi, with Bu Zhi assisting him.
As early as when he formed the East Lake Army, Wang Jing had already made up his mind to join his civil servants and generals in the future, no matter how famous they were in history. In the beginning, they would not be awarded too high an official position.
You can give the other party respect and allow them to participate in the military and political affairs, but official positions must be promoted step by step from the bottom through merit.
This will ensure the greatest fairness to the East Lake Army and convince everyone.
Therefore, after Bu Zhi expressed his willingness to serve Wang Jing, Wang Jing only gave him an official position with the experience of a commander. The experience of commanders and envoys belongs to the official positions of the Ming Dynasty, the documents and officials of the command and envoys department in the military.
Official position and status are relatively low.
But now Wang Jing holds the official position of commander, so the commander has become his close minister. Although his status is low, he can participate in the strategic affairs of the entire East Lake Army.
Bu Zhi was certainly aware of this, so he was not dissatisfied.
Moreover, after Shen Yi knew Bu Zhi's identity, he regarded himself as a descendant and gave Bu Zhi great respect. The two of them worked together and quickly managed Sihong's affairs in an orderly manner.
With two people to help.
Wang Jing finally felt much more relaxed and began to arrange for Mai Tiezhang to lead the cavalry to the former Qinshui military camp to integrate the troops. Wang Jing personally came to the military camp in the city to take charge.
At this moment.
The news that Wang Jing captured Sihong and destroyed Qin Liangcheng gradually spread.
The many forces in the eastern part of Sizhou are intertwined and not far apart. Liang Cheng's 30,000 former Qin army is a force that cannot be ignored.
Whether it was Yuan Shu's army, Sun Ru's army, Cao army or Tang army, they all arranged spies near Sizhou. …
Longevity City.
Flames were crackling on the city wall, the brazier was blazing, and hot water, golden juice, and boiling oil exploded in the iron pot. Every time the hot water and boiling oil were poured down, fierce screams rose into the sky.
Up and down the city wall, screams, roars, the friction of swords piercing flesh, and various sounds were mixed together.
A large number of soldiers were driven forward and climbed up the city wall through ladders.
The strength of these soldiers was not very good, and they rarely cooperated with each other. They looked frightened and frightened, and they were trembling all over when they attacked the city.
But there was nothing they could do. Behind them was the indifferent and solemn supervising team. If they retreated, they would be hacked to death. They can only fight their way forward.
"Sir, our losses are too great and we cannot continue like this!"
Liu Zeqing was riding a horse, surrounded by three hundred servants, looking at the scene in front of him with an ugly expression.
The guerrilla general beside him couldn't help shouting.
Ever since Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses came to join Sun Ru's army outside Wanshou City, they were used as cannon fodder by Sun Ru to attack the city. In the past few days, Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses had lost more than 3,000 troops.
He brought a total of less than 10,000 people this time. In just a few days, he lost more than 3,000 people. On average, one of every three people died. It was extremely terrifying.
"Don't worry, the casualties are only temporary recruits. None of our servants died, so what are we afraid of?"
Liu Zeqing forced a smile.
Obviously, he said it didn't matter, but he didn't think much about it in his heart.
"I think Sun Ru deliberately used our soldiers and horses as cannon fodder. What a fucking bastard!"
The guerrilla general cursed under his breath.
They all knew Sun Ru's plan, but Liu Zeqing and others had no confidence to resist.
"Forget it, just cannon fodder. When we go back and capture tens of thousands of refugees, won't we have more troops? Sun Ru said, as long as we can capture Wanshou City, we won't seal the sword for three days!"
"The First Clan"
"In three days, there will be hundreds of thousands of people in Wanshou City, which is enough for us to replenish our troops and food!"
His eyes flickered and he suppressed his anger in his chest. Liu Zeqing, who was known for his cruelty and domineeringness, now spoke for Sun Ru.
It has to be said that evil people will be tortured by evil people.
Liu Zeqing was cruel and ruthless, but other than that, his ability to lead troops and command was average, while Sun Ru was a ruthless man who truly rose up in troubled times and experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The two of them were like little witches meeting a big witch, and Liu Zeqing didn't even dare to resist.
Behind Liu Zeqing.
Sun Ru's Huainan army was arranged neatly, waiting for orders in a solemn atmosphere. Generals Ma Yin, Liu Jianfeng and others surrounded Sun Ru and looked towards the city wall.
In their eyes, the frequency of throwing wood, stones, gold juice and oil down on the city wall was gradually decreasing.
The rabble under Liu Zeqing's command was able to offset at least half of the defensive supplies on the city wall.
boom!
After hundreds of casualties, Liu Zeqing's soldiers could no longer bear the casualties. They turned around and fled back crying. The supervising team beheaded the first few soldiers who escaped.
But it doesn't help.
The casualties of more than 3,000 people were too tragic. The psychological endurance of ordinary soldiers was limited. Every time they attacked the city, they were walking on the edge of life and death, which made their nerves tense.
Once they can no longer hold back, they will fall into madness, and no one can control them at this time.
To be honest, even Sun Ru was a little surprised that Liu Zeqing's mob could persist for several days.
"Jiedu, Liu Zeqing's troops have reached their limit! If we force them to attack the city again, it will not have much effect!"
Ma Yin said.
Sun Ru smiled and said: "Liu Zeqing, this loser, has not yet taken out his servants to deliberately retain his strength. The people who died in the past few days are just a mob and have little impact on him!"
"But you are right. It is impossible for Liu Zeqing to use his servants to attack the city. His soldiers and horses are already useless!"
"Liu Jianfeng!"
"The general is here!" General Liu Jianfeng stepped forward quickly.
"When the troops return to the camp, you take your troops to Liu Zeqing's camp and kill this loser directly. If his servants are willing to surrender, then recruit them. If they don't surrender, kill them too!"
Sun Ru said lightly.
Ma Yin and others looked at each other casually and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Liu Zeqing had worked hard for the Huainan Army in the past few days, and his strength had been reduced by less than half. He worked hard for Jiedushi without any complaints, so why did he suddenly want to kill him?
"The last general takes command!"
Liu Jianfeng hesitated slightly, then immediately saw Sun Ru's eyes turning over, and shouted loudly.
Sun Ru noticed everyone's expressions.
"You should know what kind of character Liu Zeqing is. When he meets ordinary people, he is ruthless and vicious, but when he meets powerful people, he is submissive, like a poisonous snake!"
"This person will never truly serve me. Now that he has no use value, I might as well kill him!"
Sun Ru gave a rare explanation.
After learning that he had been defeated and died in history, Sun Ru's style changed a bit.
In addition to having more trust in generals such as Ma Yin and Liu Jianfeng who have proven their loyalty.
He also paid more attention to the morale of the Huainan Army and the thoughts of his generals.
This is also the main reason why many Huainan Army generals knew that Sun Ru had a bad end in history, but did not escape and betray him. They could feel Sun Ru's change.
"Jiedu's considerations make sense!"
"Liu Zeqing is not from the same group as us, so it would be a good thing for Jiedu to kill him!"
"He still has 70,000 to 80,000 people in Quy Nhon. By annexing these people, we can become a little stronger!"
Several generals said immediately.
At this time, when Liu Zeqing's troops were retreating, the gate of Wanshou City suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out, crashing into the retreating soldiers and killing them.
After strangling all the soldiers near the city gate.
The cavalry did not continue to move forward and quickly retreated into the city.
When Sun Ru saw this, his face twitched.
"Zhang Xun still has some abilities!"
