"Use barbarians..."
Wang Jing's expression changed slightly, he did not expect Mu Hong to have such a suggestion.
The former Qin Dynasty was originally a power of the Hu people. There were many Hu people in the army of 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Most of these people have good riding skills.
It's just that Wang Jing had a bad impression of the Hu people, especially Murong Xianbei at the time. They even used people as food, challenging Wang Jing's tolerance limit.
Now, among the more than 15,000 soldiers under his command, there is not a single barbarian.
There were quite a few barbarians in the Weisuo army, and they were all forced to farm and quarry.
Bu Zhi said: "My lord, there are many barbarians in Huaibei, and most of them who do evil are nobles of the barbarians. Ordinary barbarians are just slaves of the nobles!"
"They are like sharp knives, it just depends on whose hand they are in. In the hands of the barbarian nobles, they are deadly weapons, but in the hands of the lord, they will definitely become a sharp blade to defeat the enemy!"
obviously.
Bu Zhi also agreed with Mu Hong's opinion.
They all have a repulsive attitude towards the barbarians, and the saying that those who are not from our race must have different feelings is deeply rooted in everyone's heart.
However, it is rare for Wang Jing to kill all the barbarian nobles he encounters and reject the barbarians extremely.
The normal approach is to use barbarians to control barbarians, and form the barbarians who are willing to serve for themselves into elite cavalry. As long as these people are fed and their normal needs are met.
These lowest level barbarian cavalry rarely betrayed.
"Then give it a try! Mr. Bu, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't forget, those who do evil among the Hu people should be selected first and killed, and then you can choose from the remaining Hu people!"
Wang Jing hesitated and said.
The land of Huaibei has been an important area for military strategists of all dynasties, and there are countless Hu and Han forces intertwined there.
If Wang Jing rejects all the Hu people, then the power of the Hu people who could have been recruited and used will be used by other forces.
Wang Jing realized this and changed his original idea.
After the meeting.
Zhu Wu first took the tiger talisman from the general's shaft and went to the military camp to take away a thousand soldiers. Then he mobilized three thousand guardsmen to go to the newly built water village in the south of Sihong City.
From here you can follow the waterway all the way to East Lake.
Anyone who knows Sun Ru knows that this person is extremely ruthless. If anyone offends him, he will definitely find a way to get revenge. He is a person who must avenge himself.
Wang Jingjun killed his general, and the two sides became enemies. As long as Sun Ru stabilizes his troops and horses, he will launch a large-scale attack on Sihong sooner or later.
Wang Jing knew this, so he began to urge his subordinates to work more efficiently.
While sending reinforcements to support East Lake, preparations must also be made secretly for a large-scale dispatch of troops.
In addition to the water thieves in Hongze Lake around Sihong, there are still many small and medium-sized forces remaining at the intersection of rivers in the east. They relied on the river water. When the former Qin army wanted to destroy them, they kept hiding along the waterway.
These forces are too close to Sihong.
Therefore, Wang Jing mobilized his naval forces and prepared to wait until Li Jun sent Qiao Rui and others to Sihong, and then asked Li Jun to lead the navy to clean up the water strongholds of various forces in the east.
By the way, Si Xingfang was also asked to take turns to attack with the personal guards, and they quickly grew and trained in the fighting.
One day later.
In the waterway leading to Sihong, dozens of ships were flowing down the water. One of the warships was huge and looked like a building ship.
Navy Captain Qianhu Li Jun stood on the deck, followed by two people.
It was Qiao Xuan who came forward in Qiao Rui's place, and the young man named Zhao who Wang Jing valued very much.
"There are many flaws in the construction of this ship... Here, and here, if you modify it, the speed of this ship can be increased by at least 10%!"
The young man named Zhao pointed casually.
Li Jun immediately smiled and said: "The master craftsman is very skilled. The craftsmen in our shipyard have average skills. The warships they build will definitely not be comparable to the master craftsman. Well, if the master craftsman can go to our military shipyard and give some advice, I would be very grateful!" "
His attitude was very polite.
As for Qiao Xuan on the side, Li Jun didn't have much communication with him.
Qiao Xuan looked like he was a child of a famous family, while Li Jun was just a water thief. The two parties were of different social classes and had nothing in common.
"No problem, it's just a small thing!"
The young man named Zhao was praised by Li Jun and immediately agreed.
At this time.
The sound of a few girls playing in the cabin not far away came from the cabin. Several girls stood at the cabin window on the deck, curiously looking at the spacious river and the scenery on the shore.
Li Jun glanced at the place where the sound came from, and then looked away.
Qiao Xuan took two steps and glanced hard at the girls who stuck their heads out. The girls immediately retracted their heads.
These girls are all members of the Qiao family. This time they went to Sihong with his two daughters.
Qiao Xuan has been in a state of shock since he followed his brother Qiao Rui to Donghu.
The first thing that shocked him was that the East Lake Army was building a city on the shore. There are also more than three thousand elites led by Mai Tiezhang.
Mai Tiezhang, Mu Chun, and Chen Da are all generals at the peak of the third level.
Among them, the Maitie Staff is in the stage of condensing Gang Qi, and when the condensation is completed, it will reach the fourth level.
The three military generals joined forces, plus more than 3,000 formally trained elites, to stop the thousands of pursuers of the Huainan Army. They gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses but failed to break the East Lake Army's formation.
Qiao Xuan only thought at that time that with such elite soldiers and horses, the East Lake Army might be able to expand to a level that could compete with the Huainan Army in the future.
He already has a high opinion of the East Lake Army.
But he didn't expect that just as he was about to inquire about the current situation of the East Lake Army, he learned that the opponent had captured Sihong and defeated the 20,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty with hundreds of elite troops.
No need to wait until later.
The current Donghu Army has grown to a level that can compete with the Huainan Army.
The weak defeated the strong, hundreds of soldiers and horses defeated ten times the enemy.
The leader of the East Lake Army, well I can't say the leader, Wang Jing, who will now be called General Zhennan, is indeed a heroic figure.
"I don't know what General Zhennan's attitude is towards the Qiao clan!"
Qiao Xuan thought to himself.
After knowing Wang Jing's name, he asked the young man named Zhao, but he had never heard of Wang Jing's origin.
But this is normal.
History is as vast as smoke. There are countless heroes in the long river of time. Only a handful of people can leave their names in history. Many more people are buried in the long river of history.
Now the world has changed.
With a different environment, the fate of the originally unknown characters changes, and it is possible for them to grow and rise.
Perhaps Wang Jing is one of them.
"We're near Sihong..."
Li Jun said to the two of them at this time.
Qiao Xuan looked towards the river. The river bank, which was originally lush with vegetation and covered with reeds, had changed its appearance and became many green and strong. Under the leadership of the Jia chief and Bao chief, the people cultivated fields and dug ditches.
The closer you get to Sihong, the busier the shore and beyond.
Nearly a thousand people were settled next to the river bank, building houses and walls, clearing roads, reclaiming land... Everyone was busy and enthusiastic.
It has indescribable vitality.
"General Li, who are these people?"
Qiao Xuan asked.
