As the group spoke, they passed by the marching soldiers and followed the red torrent moving forward.
In the center of the red torrent, there is a square hall that looks like a hill.
The main hall is more than ten feet long and wide, with eight sets of light body formations used to support it. There are sixteen horses in front of the chariot. The entire hall is like a boat traveling on land.
People who see the hall for the first time are subconsciously shocked.
This is the main tent of the army going south. With the main hall as the core, various generals and their troops are distributed in all directions, forming a layer-by-layer defense system.
When Chen Lan and Zhang Guihou brought their people over, the cavalry they brought had already been assigned to the Huben Camp of the Guards Army, and the horses they brought had also been accepted by the heavy supply camp.
When they walked around the main hall, only Chen Lan and four others were left.
"Final General Chen Lan is here to give orders!"
Chen Lan stepped forward to report. At this time, the personal guard general Si Xingfang was guarding outside the hall and nodded after seeing them. He motioned for them to wait outside.
At this time, inside the main hall.
Wang Jing was convening the generals to discuss matters. In addition to civil servants such as Bu Zhi, Wu Yong, Yang Hong, and Yan Xiang, there were also Zhang Lin, Xiao Mian, Mu Chun, Chen Da, and Fan Yin, the head of the Military Intelligence Department.
Yan Xiang lowered his head, and there were two men with extraordinary bearing. One person is slightly elegant, while the other person is upright, outstanding in appearance and heroic in appearance.
"General Zhang defeated Fu Kun and gave our army a first victory. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Well, here's the order. The soldiers who go out to fight this time will be given a hundred jars of wine to strengthen their momentum!"
Wang Jing praised with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
Zhang Lin was not polite and directly thanked him. Most of the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command were the elites of the previous Tang army. This time they acted as vanguards and defeated the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the former Qin Dynasty and won a great victory.
But he also lost hundreds of people.
If you are a sensitive person, you will definitely think that Wang Jing asked him to act as a vanguard with the intention of consuming the troops in his hands.
The fighting continues and the battles continue.
In this process, Zhang Lin's troops will be worn out in constant fighting, and then Wang Jing will replenish him with troops loyal to him.
Without a sound, Zhang Lin's original 10,000 troops were replaced.
Of course, if Zhang Lin makes great contributions, Wang Jing will not be stingy. He will definitely put Zhang Lin in a high position and hold power, and his surviving confidants will also give him officials and rewards.
That was the case for Li Kaifang back then.
In the end, only a few hundred of the thousands of people in the Taiping Camp remained, but Li Kaifang could not say that Wang Jing had gone too far. After all, casualties were inevitable in the battle formation.
Isn't Li Kaifang sitting in one position now and holding great power?
Wang Jing did not treat him badly.
Therefore, even if Li Kaifang, Zhang Lin, and Zhang Guiba knew Wang Jing's methods and purposes, they could only obey orders.
Zhang Lin didn't realize this yet.
Hearing Wang Jing's praise of the gift, his eyebrows relaxed a little, and it was obvious that the monarch's praise was very useful. When receiving the order, he casually glanced at the surrounding generals.
This time when he went south, Wang Jing, a general at the rank of general, only took Zhang Guiba and Zhang Lin with him.
Zhang Guiba, who was the commander-in-chief of the partial division, was not here. The other generals noticed Zhang Lin's gaze and felt a little unhappy but did not dare to stand up.
"My lord, according to what Mr. Han and General Zhou said, the 30,000 troops heading north this time are just an army under Fulong's command. Fulong must know the movements of our army at this time."
"The Qin army of more than 100,000 people is just ahead. Don't underestimate it!"
Bu Zhao said.
Wang Jing smiled and said: "Mr. Bu is right to remind you that Fulong's army should not be underestimated. By the way, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Han Xizai Han, who historically served as the Minister of War in the Southern Tang Dynasty!"
"This is General Zhou Zong. Like Mr. Han, he was born in the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"The two led thousands of ethnic soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to join the army. From now on, the two of them will be our own! Mr. Han and General Zhou will lead their own troops for the time being. They will be rewarded after defeating Fulong!"
When Wang Jing mentioned the names of Han Xizai and Zhou Zong. The two stood up and saluted everyone.
The other generals and commanders in the hall also quickly returned the salute.
After a brief introduction.
Wang Jing motioned for the two of them to sit down and began to talk about the tactics of this battle.
"The Military Intelligence Department reports that Fulong's army is already short of food, otherwise they would not send troops north to collect food. Therefore, our army's response strategy is to stop quietly! Before the former Qin army gathers, first attack more than thirty families in the south All Wubao cottages have been relocated!"
"Food and people will be moved to the rear first, and then our army will slowly move south to occupy important mountains and rivers..."
This war.
The Sihong Military Mansion was very well prepared, whether it was the transportation of grain and grass, the strategy before the war, and various response methods when the war started.
Wang Jing and Bu Zhi made the strategy, and then Yang Hong and Yan Xiang joined the army to supplement and improve it.
In general, the Zhennan army took advantage of Fulong's lack of food and grass. Instead of fighting with the opponent, they first moved to the Wubao mountain stronghold to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
Then occupy important mountains and rivers and wait for the opponent to take the initiative to attack.
There is no need for a war, as long as the two armies continue to confront each other, Fulong's army will be short of food and unable to hold on...
This is a tactic of using one's own skills to hurt others and using one's own foundation to crush the opponent!
Historically, Li Shimin was the master of this kind of tactics... When Li Shimin first joined the army, he always showed his sharp edge and often led elite cavalry to break into formations.
Later, after becoming the commander-in-chief of the army, he became much more cautious.
When Qian Shuiyuan fought against Xue Ju, he first closed the door and faced off with the opponent for a long time, then waited until the enemy was short of food and exhausted, and then attacked decisively and killed him with one blow!
The same was true for the subsequent Battle of Baibi.
They all relied on Datang's profound heritage to crush their opponents...
"Currently, the food, grass, and personnel in Wubao Village have not yet been relocated, and some Wubao are unwilling to move... This is the list sent by Chief Wu! Mu Chun, Chen Da, and Xiao Mian, each of you will bring a battalion of troops. Advise these forts to leave as soon as possible!"
"If they don't listen to the advice, then they will definitely be preparing to defect to Fulong and become the enemies of our army. Naturally, we must attack the enemy first! Do you understand?"
Wang Jing said calmly.
"My subordinates understand!" Xiao Min and the others immediately shouted.
"Mr. Han, General Zhou, our army is not familiar with the road to the south and needs two guides to lead the way..."
"Don't worry, my lord, we have prepared our guides and are just waiting for our troops to be dispatched!"
Han Xizai said immediately.
Although he had only defected to the Sihong Army for a short time, he had a very high opinion of Wang Jing and was ready to make contributions to the Sihong Army's system, so he sincerely defected.
Wang Jing's decisiveness in killing and taking action after planning also made him completely determined.
"good!"
Wang Jing put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Now we just wait for Fulong to lead his army northward and complete his victory in one battle!"
After the discussion was over, many generals and generals were responsible for leading troops and immediately went out and returned to their respective camps. Wang Jing left behind Bu Zhi, Wu Yong and Han Xizai and Zhou Zong who had just defected to talk.
At this time, Si Xingfang came in and reported: "Lord, Chen Lan is back to give orders!"
