"So, Xiao Yuanming wants to ask us to send troops?"
"Lord Mingjian! The envoy also sent generous gifts and brought Xiao Yuanming's personal letter!"
Fein had already handed over the letter.
Wang Jing opened it casually and saw that Xiao Yuanming's handwriting was quite good. After reading the letter, the smile on his face became even brighter, "Haha, this Xiao Yuanming is somewhat flexible and flexible!"
"He actually directly said that he wanted to defect to me, just to save his life and property..."
From the lines of this letter, Wang Jing could feel the fear in Xiao Yuanming's heart. What made him even more happy was that Xiao Yuanming did not choose to surrender to Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba.
Instead, he chose Sihong.
The strength of the Nanliang Army was not very good, especially the army in the later period of Nanliang, which was not comparable to the elites, but they were an army at least, and there were many civilians and soldiers.
If he can annex the Nanliang Army and then swallow the Tang Army, the number of soldiers and civilians under Wang Jing's command will exceed one million!
"Send someone to tell General Li to speed up his reorganization and send out troops tomorrow!"
Wang Jing put the letter away and made a decision in his heart.
Fan Yin solemnly accepted the order.
After he left, Wang Jing's ears suddenly twitched and he heard some sounds coming from the backyard. He frowned slightly and looked across the pavilion towards the courtyard.
I saw more than a dozen loads of gold and silver treasures being counted by several maids.
There are also eighteen beautiful women standing aside obediently. Their figures are graceful and their skin is like snow, although they are not as beautiful as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
But they are all first-rate beauties.
"What's going on? Who are they?"
Wang Jing grabbed a maid and asked.
"General, Chief Fan brought these. He said they were all gifts from the envoy..." the maid said quickly.
"Gift, give me a beauty?"
The corners of Wang Jing's mouth twitched slightly, are you going to test me with this? I just married Xiao Qiao at the same time, so Xiao Yuanming thought I was a lustful ghost?
This is simply slander!
"These four will stay in the inner courtyard, and the other women will be placed in the side courtyard first!"
Wang Jing casually selected the four most outstanding-looking women to serve as his maids.
He plans to give more than a dozen women to meritorious ministers after this war. He is now married, but many of his generals are still single.
If a general who is single and has no family suddenly wants to defect, there is not even a means to restrain him.
As a monarch, you must care about the life events of your generals.
Let them marry and have children in Sihong and take root completely.
…
The second day.
The early morning sun was warm and the sky was extremely bright. The city gates of Quy Nhon were wide open, and the sound of horse hooves and footsteps gradually sounded in the city. I saw a team of spearmen with their spears on their shoulders, wearing red clothes, arranged neatly. , striding towards the outside of the city.
"He is truly the master of kings!"
In a restaurant near the city gate, several people were watching.
The middle-aged man leading the group was Xiao Min, the envoy sent by Xiao Yuanming. He was the leading captain of the Nanliang Army and a member of the Xiao family.
The few people around him were both civilized and military.
The civil servants were all scholars who had defected to the Nanliang Army, and the military generals were Xiao's confidants.
Several civil servants were obviously shocked when they saw a group of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers coming out of the city.
no way.
Zhang Lin and Zhang Guiba were both generals in the late Tang Dynasty. They had a strong aura of arrogant and powerful generals. It’s hard to say how they performed on the battlefield, but their performance off the battlefield, such as burning, killing, looting, and killing people at every turn, was definitely top-notch. One is awesome.
Gu and other civil servants knew Xiao Yuanming's ability, but they still defected to Nanliang like moths to a flame, not just to get Xiao Yuanming's protection.
Are you protected from Tang soldiers and enemies?
After struggling in this world for so long, they can tell the difference in temperament between unruly soldiers and normal armies.
View from above.
Teams of hundreds of soldiers formed a team, each surrounded by general flags. The crimson flags were like clouds, like a crimson ocean, filling everyone's eyes.
As the saying goes, once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit. Of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Sihong Army, 20,000 are stationed outside the city, and the 10,000 soldiers in the city are the reorganized Chinese army!
Just getting out of the city took more than half an hour.
However, the people on both sides of the city streets and the literati watching from high places showed no signs of fatigue.
I saw that the soldiers of Sihong were full of vigor and vitality.
There was more confidence in the hearts of the people.
Several generals under Xiao's command in the restaurant, after seeing the military morale of Sihong's soldiers, had to admit that Sihong's army was indeed no small matter.
"The King's Division... I hope General Zhennan can successfully defeat Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba! Judging from the momentum of these soldiers, the chance of victory should not be low!"
Xiao Ming said.
Everyone sighed, Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba joined forces, and the pressure on the Nanliang Army was considerable.
These days, all normal civil servants and generals will use various means to find out the origins of the major forces around them, as well as the historical experiences of the leaders of the forces.
This is normal.
The wise kings and wise ministers in history, in addition to their own strength after their rebirth in the Chinese continent, their reputation in history is also a great asset to them.
Just like after Li Shimin came, there must have been many civil servants and generals from other dynasties who took the initiative to defect to him because of his reputation.
Heroic princes with a bad reputation will suffer the backlash of their reputation in history.
Just like Yuan Shu.
Anyone who is a scholar knows what Cao Cao said about him. The dead bones in the tomb are recorded in history!
Except for Yuan Shu's own team, no one with normal thinking would choose to serve under Yuan Shu. Even if they did, it would be because they had no choice but to survive, and they would definitely not be sincere.
Zhang Guiba's ability is pretty good and he is indeed an outstanding general.
But his banner and the soldiers and horses under his command are also notorious! The reputation of the Grass Army in the late Tang Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Yellow Turban Army.
Xiao Yuanming was born in the Lanling Xiao family, which was a top family.
The clan uncle is Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang who dominated the south in history. He is not very capable, but his pride as a top clan and a royal family member has not disappeared.
In order to survive, relying on Zhang Guiba was already a last resort.
When there is a choice.
Between Yuan Shu and Wang Jing, Xiao Yuanming would definitely not defect to Yuan Shu.
Xiao Yuanming had never heard of Wang Jing's name in history books, but he could rule out Yuan Shu's wrong answer first.
Now Xiao Yuanming and the Xiao family's children are praying for Si Hongjun in their hearts.
I hope Wang Jing can successfully defeat the powerful enemy.
"General Zhennan has come out..."
At this time, Wang Jing was wearing heavy armor, riding the five-flowered Cong presented by Mu Chun and Chen Da, and was surrounded by many cavalry. He had a smile on his face, without the slightest dignity or pressure of facing a powerful enemy.
The people in the city, as well as Xiao Mian and others, saw this.
Seeing Wang Jing's confident attitude, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, every move of the general will affect the morale of the entire army and the entire force.
