Incorporate the Tang army?
Wang Jing's expression moved slightly. He didn't expect Bu Zhao to think so. After the Tang army united with the Nanliang army, they already had an army of 60,000, which was more than Wang Jing's army.
Merging such a power is not easy to say, but it is definitely not easy.
"What Mr. Zishang said makes sense. Tang Jun must be rescued, but he can't go now!"
Zhu Wu also said in agreement.
It is obvious that both Zhu Wu and Shen Yi have a worse vision and strategic layout than Bu Zhao. This gap can be seen from their respective suggestions.
Zhu Wu only wanted to support the Tang army as soon as possible and could not give Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba a chance to carve up the Tang army. Bu Zhi saw the possibility of incorporating the Tang army and defeating all three forces.
"My lord, I heard that Zhang Lin has an upright character and does not rub sand in his eyes. If he is still unwilling to bow his head and would rather die in battle than ask for help from our army, it will be difficult to handle!"
Shen Yi did not object to this suggestion, but he also raised his own concerns.
"Zhang Lin..."
Wang Jing thought about the information about this person in history. Zhang Lin's status in the history books was not as good as that of Mai Tiezhang. According to Shen Yi, his name was only mentioned in the history books when Gao Pian was recorded.
However, this man's ability is not under the iron rod.
This man was the first general under Gao Pian in the late Tang Dynasty. He was brave and invincible in the battle formation. He was good at riding, shooting, and spear lengthening, and he also had certain attainments in arranging troops.
Huang Chao's grass army was repeatedly defeated by Zhang Lin and was chased like a rabbit.
It's a pity that Gao Pian made the mistake of Chen Qiyu in the late Ming Dynasty. When he was about to uproot Huang Chao, he accepted Huang Chao's gold and silver bribes and let the opponent go.
As a result, Huang Chao used a false surrender strategy and soared into the sky, but instead surrounded and killed Zhang Lin with a large army.
From then on, Gao Pian lost his most capable general.
It is recorded in the history books that after Zhang Lin's death, Gao Pianru lost his liver and gallbladder. He only knew how to sit in Yangzhou and let Huang Chao attack Luoyang Chang'an all the way.
"If I can conquer this person, I will have another general who is good at fighting!"
Just trying to conquer Zhang Lin is not easy.
It is especially difficult for such a self-possessed, brave and invincible general to ask for help.
When Wang Jing thought of this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Bu Zhi.
"Mr. Bu, do you have any countermeasures?"
Bu Zhi said: "This matter is simple. Zhang Lin is unwilling to ask for help. We can send someone to contact Xiao Yuanming, the chief general of the Nanliang Army. This person comes from the Xiaoliang clan and is capable of bending and stretching. If we can convince this person first, our army will have the reputation of being a military leader." !”
There is also a troop of troops from Nanliang near Sizhou.
It's a pity that the chief general of the Nanliang Army, Zhenyang Hou Xiao Yuanming, is too incompetent. He has tens of thousands of Nanliang soldiers and horses under his command, but they are no match for the Cao army. In order to deal with the threat of the Cao army, he took the initiative to form an alliance with Zhang Lin.
Although Xiao Yuanming did not have generals under his command, there were many officials who sorted out the civil affairs a little and let the people reclaim the land.
Zhang Lin is a pure general and is not good at farming or sorting out internal affairs.
After forming an alliance with the Nanliang Army, Zhang Lin was in charge of the campaign and fought against Zhang Guiba, while Xiao Yuanming's Nanliang forces were farming and responsible for grain and grass supplies.
The two sides are complementary to each other.
"It is indeed a good idea to contact Xiao Yuanming first!"
Wang Jing had a smile on his face.
"Yes, then according to Mr. Bu's opinion, send an envoy to greet the Zhenyang Marquis first! Well, let's not talk about support for now. If the Zhenyang Marquis has a wink, we don't need to remind him!"
Xiao Yuanming, Marquis of Zhenyang.
After knowing the origins of the surrounding forces, Chen Yi compiled a booklet based on the origins of the leaders of these forces, which contained information about the other parties' history in the origin world.
Therefore, although Wang Jing is not very proficient in history, he can clearly understand their situation.
This is the advantage of having a knowledgeable and memorizing person under your command.
For example, this person was Xiao Yuanming, Marquis of Zhenyang. As soon as Wang Jing thought about it, information about him emerged. This person was from the Nanliang clan and was favored by Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan.
It was the direct trigger of the Hou Jing Rebellion later.
Hou Jing was originally a general under Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He refused to obey Gao Cheng and was defeated. He had no choice but to defect to Nanliang. Xiao Yan sent the Marquis of Zhenyang to support him.
As a result, the Nanliang army led by Xiao Yuanming was defeated as soon as it crossed the Huaihe River, and the entire army was captured.
The Eastern Wei Dynasty wanted to exchange Xiao Yuanming for Hou Jing, but Xiao Yan agreed, saying that if the Eastern Wei Dynasty sent Xiao Yuanming back in the morning, he would send Hou Jing there in the evening.
This sentence was known to Hou Jing...Hou Jing's rebellion broke out.
"I remember that Xiao Yuanming, the Marquis of Zhenyang, seemed to have become the emperor of Nanliang later... The puppet emperor was also an emperor, and his power was stronger than the previous Murong Xianbei!"
He was defeated and captured, and later became a puppet emperor, which shows that Xiao Yuanming has a strong desire to survive.
If Zhang Lin is in danger, Wang Jing will send an envoy to send greetings and ask Xiao Yuanming to join him. It will not be a problem to incorporate the forces of the Nanliang Army.
…
After discussing the countermeasures to deal with Yuan and Zhang Alliance.
Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others continued to prepare for the wedding. Wang Jing only sent an envoy to Nanliang Army and did not take any big action.
The world is huge, and getting married is the biggest thing right now.
Weddings are one of the six ancient rituals, of which Nacai is the first. Bu Zhi first took the gifts prepared by Wang Jing to Qiao Mansion, and then went through the process according to the rules.
Throughout the ages, etiquette has been used to rectify people's hearts and restrain the world. The most important thing in the country is to sacrifice to the army, and sacrifice is a ritual.
A word of ritual has been used throughout the entire history of China since the Zhou Dynasty.
China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua. It can be seen that etiquette represents civilization and is the root of China.
Just a wedding has many rules and procedures.
Wang Jing was a little bored with too many etiquette, but he didn't reject it either.
After all, those who do not pay attention to and despise etiquette are disrespectful... Without the restraint of etiquette, scholars will subconsciously resist and alienate them.
This will have a serious impact on recruiting talents in the future and competing with other forces for hegemony.
Ten days later.
Sihong City became lively.
Not to mention Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu and others who had already arrived in the city, Mai Tiezhang and Li Kaifang who were stationed at East Lake and Luanshi Mountain also sent people to congratulate and send their own gifts.
From senior generals and deputy generals to hundreds of households, everyone has prepared their own ideas.
Headed by General Shi Chenyi, Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu, Jiang Zhixiong, Li Qiong, Zhang Hun, the beggar army envoy who got the news, and Nanliang Army envoys from Sihong who exchanged envoys, all came to watch the ceremony.
The Qiao family comes from the Three Kingdoms era, and the etiquette used is naturally Han etiquette.
As the lord Wang Jing, no one dared to cause trouble during the wedding.
After the ceremony, they began to thank the guests.
When he saw Zhang Hun, this friend who had taken care of Wang Jing in the past smiled sincerely and was happy for Wang Jing.
Talk about it.
After arriving in the mainland of China, the people at the bottom were constantly struggling for survival. The princes who supported the army wanted to fight for hegemony. The weak and the strong preyed on each other, which was extremely cruel. No one had ever held a wedding full of etiquette like this.
Wang Jing also set a precedent.
In the text... I don't know much about the rules of the wedding, so I apologize for any mistakes I wrote.
