While handling civil affairs, Wang Jing personally took charge and began to reorganize the Tang Army and Nanliang Army who had defected.
The Nanliang Army is easy to say, except for the more than 3,000 elites selected.
Many of the other soldiers and horses are young and strong refugees, not the elite troops of Nanliang. They range from generals to soldiers. They are used to being bullied by the children of wealthy families and do whatever they are told.
Split them up and arrange them into guard troops, so that they don't have to work in battle for the time being. In addition to training in their spare time, the supply of food and materials is very sufficient.
This makes them very satisfied. It was very docile and divided into houses with a thousand households.
But Zhang Lin's Tang army was a bit difficult to chew.
After Zhang Lin reluctantly surrendered, Wang Jing did not treat the other party badly and gave the other party the position of general, with the ability to command 10,000 troops.
The Tang army originally had 20,000 to 30,000 troops, but apart from those killed and injured, more than half were left.
Each of these people was full of the unruly spirit of the generals of the late Tang Dynasty.
It is extremely difficult to make them obey.
Wang Jing was not polite and personally took charge of the army. Any unruly soldiers who dared to disobey were pulled out to serve as coolies and civilians. If the circumstances were serious, they would be killed directly.
Wang Jing is the winner, how can he be too contrary to his will and allow his generals to be unruly without strict control?
Wang Jingke doesn't care what their strength is, as long as they don't obey orders, he will not hesitate to kill even first-level hundreds of households and second-level generals.
More than a year.
Not only was he growing, but other generals and people with inherited techniques were also growing. After Wang Jing taught the military body-building techniques in the army, warriors with first-level strength sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Many households and leaders have such strength.
Chen Yi, Tian Liangyun, Jiang Zhixiong and others who were originally just ordinary people have now reached the second level.
The battlefield has the most significant tempering effect on people.
Ordinary people who have no spiritual practice can become elite soldiers after a few battles, and after a little training, they can become powerful soldiers.
People who have a spiritual practice will grow more obviously.
Originally a first-level warrior, many talented people broke through to the second level during several consecutive battles between the Sihong Army.
That is to say.
Nowadays, second-level generals have become popular among hundreds or thousands of households in the military. Third-level generals are still at the top for the time being, but as the ranks of soldiers and generals continue to grow.
Wang Jing believes that he has more third-level and fourth-level generals under his command.
Things are rare and valuable.
If Wang Jing could have a second-level subordinate like Mai Tiezhang when he first arrived, he would definitely value it very much, and the resources in his hands would be tilted towards the opponent, giving him great benefits.
But now there are hundreds of second-level generals in the Sihong Army.
Wang Jing would not feel any pity if he killed the unruly people who were dissatisfied.
Under Wang Jing's decisive and ruthless rectification, the unruly spirit of the Tang Army generals was forcibly suppressed. I have to accept it.
"I'm still not convinced now!"
Of course Wang Jing knew that leading troops required both kindness and power, and could not rely solely on force. However, the late Tang Dynasty ethos in the generals of the Tang Army was too serious, and he could not do without a heavy hand.
He could feel that these generals were only submissive on the surface, and someone would show up at some point.
But it doesn’t matter.
Wang Jing only needs them to obey his orders temporarily.
He is now preparing to attack Yuan Shu's army. It won't be long before he will send troops to attack Yuan Shu again.
When the time comes, split them up and throw them onto the battlefield. After a few battles, they will be able to wear down half of the rebellious soldiers who are dissatisfied in the training of blood and fire.
On the valley battlefield, is it not easy for the boss to let the soldiers die?
Let them move forward when charging, and let them break back when breaking up. After a few times, you won't be able to see any hidden dangers.
…
Residence hall.
From the hall, you can see a huge screen wall outside, with pictures of dragons playing with pearls carved on it. There are also exquisite potted plants placed near the walls on both sides.
Wang Jing was talking to Qiao Xuan in the hall.
After marrying Xiao Qiao, Qiao Xuan was reused and was appointed as the magistrate of Wanshou County.
Although his abilities are not outstanding, he still has the ability to serve as a county magistrate, and these days, he has recommended several famous talents in history.
The three talents he recommended did not need Shen Yi's help in introducing them. Wang Jing had also heard of their names.
These three are all leaders of Liangshan.
The leader is Wu Yong, who is officially known as the wise man, and the other two are Xiang Chong and Li Gun! I don’t know how these three people appeared in this area.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were less famous and could only serve as step generals. The strength is at the second level.
Wu Yong may have been favored by the world's consciousness because of his fame, and his spiritual power transformed to the third level.
"I didn't expect that Wu Yong would choose to defect to Duke Qiao..."
Wang Jing sighed slightly.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Wu Yong, these three talented people from Liangshan, ask Zhu Wu and Li Jun to help recommend him in front of Wang Jing through his relationship?
Unexpectedly, Wu Yong did not choose Zhu Wu, but found Qiao Xuan.
"I also inquired about this. The relationship between Wu Yong and Mr. Zhu is not very good. They were worried that they would not be able to serve the lord by going to Mr. Zhu, so they came to Wanshou..."
Qiao Xuan said carefully.
The relationship between Wu Yong and Zhu Wu is not good? Wang Jing was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
Indeed, according to the records in the book, Zhu Wu was nominally the deputy military advisor in charge of secrets in Liangshan, but in fact, all the military advisor authority in Liangshan was occupied by Wu Yong.
In the end, Zhu Wu, a rare talent among Liangshan leaders who was proficient in military strategy, was not even ranked as the Tiangang general star, and was squeezed into the Disha general star.
Among them, Wu Yong's suppression is definitely indispensable.
"They think too much. How can Mr. Zhu care about the little things in the past? If Wu Yong goes to find Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu will definitely recommend him in front of me regardless of past grudges!"
Wang Jing waved his hand and said: "But it is useless to talk about this kind of thing now. In any case, if they choose to join me, they must show their ability!"
"This mission to Zhang Guiba is a test!"
"If things are done well, I should be rewarded, but if things are not done well, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Xiang Chong and Li Gun have limited reputation and strength.
What Wu Yong is best at is some conspiracy and talk.
For Wang Jing, the three people's abilities were average and not worthy of too much attention. After the three people took refuge, he immediately thought that he still had a key prisoner in his hands, Zhang Guihou.
So he simply asked Wu Yong and three people to act as envoys and quietly go to the place where Zhang Guiba was stationed.
Use Zhang Guihou as a bargaining chip to persuade Zhang Guiba to surrender to Sihong... Even if he cannot surrender, Zhang Guiba must pay a certain price.
If Zhang Guiba is willing to bleed a lot, Wang Jing can even agree to put Zhang Guihou back.
Even if a third-level warrior like Zhang Guihou were put back, he would not pose much of a threat to the current Sihong Army.
