Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu, Mu Hong and others soon arrived in the hall.
Wang Jing did not waste the world and directly asked people to hand over the received military information to everyone. Shen Yi already knew the content, so Zhu Wu opened the letter first and read it.
"this……"
Zhu Wu glanced over it, his expression changed slightly, and he didn't say anything after reading it, and handed it to Bu Zhi.
After everyone had finished reading, Wang Jing said, "Everyone knows what happened in East Lake. Let's share our opinions. What should we do now?"
Zhu Wu quickly said: "Lord, East Lake is the foundation of our army. We must not lose it. General Mai's three thousand soldiers and horses may not be able to stop Sun Ru's more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. We must send reinforcements immediately!"
Three days ago, Mu Chun and Chen Da broke out of Wanshou City.
During the breakout, he killed the Huainan Army's general Liu Jianfeng and brought back Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui and the master craftsmen who built the city.
Mu Chun and Chen Da made considerable contributions.
Just bringing that great craftsman back would be enough to make up for all the previous outrageous behaviors.
However, their contribution is not small, and the trouble they cause is also not small.
Liu Jianfeng was a general of the Huainan Army. He was suddenly killed by them. The Huainan Army would definitely send troops to retaliate.
Just like a certain force killed Wang Jing's general. Wang Jing will also choose to send troops to take revenge.
If a prince can endure the death of his general, no matter what the reason, the cohesion of his generals will definitely be greatly reduced.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period Liu Bei sent troops to avenge Guan Yu...
Now Sun Ru has sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the camp on the shore of East Lake. Apparently he was stimulated by the death of the general and wanted to attack Donghu to avenge the general.
Mai Tiezhang, Mu Chun, and Chen Da relied on the newly built outline of the city wall to fight and confront the enemy.
"I will naturally send troops to support, but how to support, we need to discuss. Should we directly transport troops along the waterway to East Lake and the Huainan Army kill each other, or directly send a large army to confront the Huainan Army head-on!"
Wang Jing said.
Everyone present understood what he said.
To send troops to support along the waterway means not to engage in a large-scale and comprehensive confrontation with the Huainan Army, but to use the East Lake as a barrier to maintain the current status with the Huainan Army.
Through constant reinforcements, the Huainan Army's military vigor was weakened, and they fought a protracted war of attrition with the opponent until the opponent could no longer support it and retreated voluntarily.
If you do this. Wang Jingjun only needs to deploy a part of his troops as reinforcements each time, and the people of Sihong and Donghu will not be affected much.
after all!
It had not been long since Wang Jingjun's army captured Sihong. The various guard posts had not yet been completely stabilized, the new recruits were not well trained, and the people in the city had just recovered from the panic of the war.
What Sihong needs now is to recuperate, not to send out large-scale troops.
As for directly sending a large army to attack the Huainan Army...
Mainly because he saw that the Huainan Army had just captured Wanshou City, and the soldiers were in a relaxed state, and according to Qiao Rui's statement.
Most of the food stored in Wanshou City was set on fire when they broke out, and the remaining food and grass were not enough to support the Huainan Army and the people in the city for too long.
Wang Jing sent out a large army at this time to catch the opponent off guard and have a good chance of winning.
"My Lord, Sun Ru of the Huainan Army has 30,000 elite soldiers. Most of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses attacking East Lake are old and weak, and there are only 3,000 or 4,000 elite soldiers! His elite troops are still in Wanshou!"
"They don't have much food and grass, but our new soldiers haven't been trained yet, and the guard army is not fully under control. At this time, we send out a large number of troops. It's okay to win. Once they are defeated, it will be the result of the Feishui Battle of the former Qin Dynasty!"
Bu Zhao said slowly.
These days, he has been continuously studying and understanding the history of the Origin World through the recruitment of civil servants from various dynasties, and he soon became familiar with the major events in history.
Among them, he focused on the former Qin army and carefully studied the battle of Feishui in the former Qin Dynasty.
Now Wang Jing has just captured Sihong, his troops are blunt, his armor has not been repaired, and his internal affairs are still relatively chaotic, just like the former Qin Dynasty in history.
Shen Yi also did not agree with large-scale dispatch of troops.
He said: "My subordinates' opinion is that we can send a small group of elites and some guard soldiers to support! Controlling the scale of the war to a certain extent can also help us train our troops!"
Mu Hong and Si Xingfang did not speak.
These generals only listened to the military orders issued by Wang Jing, especially Si Xingfang, who only attended as a representative of the Guards.
His job is only to serve as a member of the Guards Cavalry, and his status in the army is not high. As for the strategic direction of the entire force, it is not their turn to speak.
"I understand what everyone means!"
Wang Jingding nodded and had no intention of sending a large army to attack Sun Ru.
For him, there are necessary reasons for focusing on defense and focusing on offense. Since Shen Yi and Bu Zhi both said that defense should be the main focus, then listen to their opinions.
"In that case, Zhu Wu! I will assign one thousand elite soldiers and three thousand guardsmen to you!"
"A total of four thousand troops are taking boats to support East Lake! Assist Mai Tiezhang to guard East Lake!"
"In addition, when I come back, send all the remaining Qiao Rui troops to Sihong, especially the great craftsman Zhao. Nothing will happen to him!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
Zhu Wu showed a hint of joy and quickly stood up to take the order.
He and Chen Da were brothers in life and death. Now that Chen Da was serving under Mai Tiezhang, he couldn't help but worry that being able to fight side by side with his brother was playing into his hands.
"Mr. Shen, send someone to send a message to Li Kaifang, asking him to be on guard at Rock Mountain to prevent Sun Ru from sending an army to raid Sihong!"
"Mu Hong, Si Xingfang!"
Wang Jing's eyes fell on them.
"The general is here!"
The two generals stood up immediately.
"How are the cavalry and guards training? When can they go into battle?"
"It will take another month for the Guards to go into battle! As for the Guards Cavalry... I don't know how to fight cavalry, so I asked General Mu to help with training. Please forgive me, my lord!"
Si Xingfang said.
Wang Jing waved his hand to let him stand up without paying attention.
Si Xingfang was just a fierce general. His task was to lead the cavalry into battle, and he was not required to be proficient in cavalry training.
Wang Jing is not willing to let a hundred cavalry households be responsible for the training of the entire infantry and cavalry of the Guards.
The general in command of the Guards was actually Wang Jing himself.
Letting Si Xingfang go out now is just to let everyone present know the general situation of the Guards so that they can be aware of it.
Wang Jing's eyes fell on Mu Hong at this time.
Mu Hong hesitated and said, "My lord, our original two hundred cavalry are fine. The more than three thousand newly trained cavalry are still familiar with the nature of horses. They train every day. It will take more time to go into battle!"
It seemed that Wang Jing was a little dissatisfied.
He added: "It is difficult for cavalry to form an army, especially because there are very few people who are proficient in riding skills... However, there are many barbarians among the defeated soldiers of the former Qin Dynasty! These barbarians are proficient in riding and archery. If the lord pardons these barbarians, Incorporate them into the cavalry, and within a month the cavalry will be ready!"
