"Wang Jing's situation is complete. I'm afraid everything west of Hongze will fall into the hands of this person!"
Dai Yougui sighed after reading the news.
Zhou Ben, Wang Maozhang and Li Shenfu were all famous generals during the Five Dynasties period, and their strategies for commanding troops were far beyond ordinary people's.
Their eyesight is not weak either, and they can all see that Wang Jing has become fully fledged in the west.
If you want to destroy a force, you have to kill the other party in the growth stage.
Or you can defeat the opponent in one fell swoop only when the opponent's heart is in chaos and internal instability.
If the power has passed the growth stage, the civil servants and generals are full-fledged, and the military and political system is complete, then the difficulty of defeating it will increase more than ten times.
Because the military and political system is perfect, the resilience and courage of the representative forces can withstand one or several failures, and people's hearts will not be lost so easily.
Although Yang Xingmi is known as the King of Wu, the territory he occupies is only near Huaiyin and Huai'an. There is no shortage of military and political systems, but he has not completely taken root in this area.
His hometown was in Luzhou, but when he arrived, he came to the highlight of his history when he won the battle of Qingkou.
Although he has a large army and civil and military officials in his hands, it is inevitable that he will be a little unstable after leaving his nest.
In comparison, Yang Xingmi's foundation is not even as solid as Wang Jing's.
No wonder Yang Xingmi couldn't help but sigh after receiving the news.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I don't think there will be a big war between our army and Wang Jing in the short term. Wang Jing wants to expand eastward, and the first ones to bear the brunt are Pang Shigu and Hou Jing!"
"Wang Jing's soldiers and horses are only separated from them by a canal, and our army is separated by an entire Hongze Lake..."
Dai Yougui consoled him.
Yuan Xi also nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, Wang Jing wants to expand eastward, so he can only go to Suqian... Also, I suggest that our army adjust the direction of expansion!"
"Why?"
Yang Xingmi asked with some confusion.
Wang Maozhang and Li Shenfu's eyes flashed, looking thoughtful.
Li Shenfu couldn't help but said: "Sir, do you want to use Pang Shigu and Hou Jing as a barrier between us and Wang Jing?"
"Yes, since Wang Jing's situation is very difficult to control, he sent people to spread the news about Wang Jing to the north. He said that Wang Jing's men have a lot of food and grass, and they intend to cross the canal and expand eastward!"
"Pang Shigu and Hou Jing will definitely be on strict guard against Wang Jing and regard Wang Jing as their primary enemy..."
Yuan Xi explained.
Only then did Yang Xingmi understand and nodded suddenly. He was not very good at strategy and tactics. Historically, he had repeatedly lost battles with Sun Ru, and even his lair was captured several times by the opponent.
In this regard, he relied more heavily on his counselors and generals.
However, in his opinion, as a leader, as long as he can recognize and employ people, it does not matter if his military strategy is not strong.
Dai Yougui said: "Pang Shigu and Hou Jing's cavalry are powerful. Even if our army wins a direct confrontation with them, it will be difficult to pursue them. We have been entangled with them until now, but we have not wiped them out!"
"Now Wang Jing appears at the right time. I agree with Brother Yuan's plan. As long as we try to cause conflicts between the two sides, our army can focus on one side and find a way to defeat the Sui army in the south!"
Yang Xingmi nodded as he listened to the two counselors describing their future strategies.
at the same time.
In the city built by the begging army.
Ran Liang, who seemed to be seriously lacking in energy and energy, pressed the information from the spy onto the table with his backhand.
Huang Sheng and Zhang Hun stood on both sides, both of them silent.
Today's beggar army, after fighting with the Xiang family army to the west, continues to lose its elite and retreats one after another.
If it weren't for the sufficient grain and grass supplies supported by Donghu, the Beggar Army might not even be able to maintain its army now.
The beggar army, which originally had enough generals and veterans, had suffered repeated losses, and only two old men, Huang Sheng and Zhang Hun, were left as the core of the beggar army.
Huang Sheng was able to survive because he did not lead troops, and Zhang Hun was able to survive because he had to hand over supplies to Donghu and did not need to confront Xiang Jiajun head-on.
All the generals who faced Xiang Jiajun had died in battle.
The cavalry and infantry of the Xiang Family Army were too brave, and the number of veterans of the Beggar Army was too small to gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation.
Until now.
The beggar army is already at the end of its rope.
Ran Liang, the general of the Beggar Army, has been constantly drained of his energy due to repeated defeats in battles. The fact that he can endure until now is considered to be a tough-minded person who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly.
"Wang Jing has defeated Fulong of the former Qin Dynasty and captured Wuhe, but our army has been defeated repeatedly, leaving only more than 10,000 defeated soldiers..."
Ran Liang had a wry smile on his face.
Heaven? Fate?
Thinking of Wang Jing's process of starting a business and what happened after he expanded to all directions, Ran Liang was filled with reluctance.
Why, Wang Jing can go smoothly when he expands.
And when he led his troops to expand, he was constantly attacked?
Because Wang Jing was born in the beggar army, Ran Liang often compared himself with Wang Jing deep in his heart. The stronger Wang Jing showed, the more uncomfortable Ran Liang became.
He wanted to expand his army's territory with his own abilities, and wanted to suppress Wang Jing's performance.
Unfortunately.
He never got what he wanted.
"General?"
Huang Sheng saw his expression and shouted softly.
Ran Liang came back to his senses, his eyes fell on him and Zhang Hun, he looked at the two of them for a long time, and then said: "Wang Jing has won a great victory, and our army is at the end of its rope, no matter how much Wang Jing supports, We are no match for Xiang Jiajun’s supplies and weapons..."
"I never expected that I, Ran Liang, would end up like this!"
Huang Sheng's face changed, and he quickly persuaded: "General, why should you be depressed? At the beginning, our army only had a few hundred soldiers, why didn't it expand to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Now our army still has more than 10,000 troops, but it is just a slight setback. As long as General, cheer up, there is still hope for our army!"
Ran Liang waved his hand and said, "I know very well what's going on in our army!"
"Forget it, this long time is enough for me to realize that I am just a middle-aged man. The ability to lead an army of tens of thousands is already the limit. I can't compete with other princes..."
"There are not many old brothers left in the Beggar Army. I don't want them to die in vain anymore. Our army and Wang Jing still have some friendly relations. You send people to Sihong and defect to Sihong with the remaining troops. Wang Jing, go!"
Under the blow of constant defeat.
Ran Liang no longer had the heart to fight against Xiang Jiajun again, plus he saw Wang Jing easily defeating Fulong's 200,000 troops.
The persistence in his heart suddenly collapsed.
"How can this be done..."
Huang Sheng shouted quickly.
Zhang Hun looked complicated and sighed slightly when he heard this. He could tell that Ran Liang was really heartless. The beggar army was about to be defeated, and defecting to Wang Jing was also a way out.
Ran Liang smiled and said: "This is the last way I will find for everyone... I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
After a while.
Huang Shengcai calmed down his turbulent emotions and said with a bad expression, "This is too cheap for Wang Jing. The general defected to Wang Jing, which gave him so many more troops for nothing..."
"You are the ones who defected to Sihong. I have other plans... you go!"
Ran Liang sent the two of them out.
Although he lost his spirit, he still retained his pride. The pride in his heart prevented him from serving under Wang Jing.
So Ran Liang simply found a way out for his soldiers while Huang Sheng and Zhang Hun sent people to contact Sihong.
He led the war horse alone, took dry food and weapons, and quietly left the city and headed north.
Before leaving, he turned around and took a look at the city behind.
Then slowly disappeared into the wilderness.
