"Kings?"
Tang Shengzong pondered the other party's tone and attitude, and asked: "Has Brother Fu already determined that Prince Huai is the Ming Lord, or is he the kind of Ming Lord who has a generous personality and is as bright as a warrior?"
Wang Bi also cast his gaze on Fu Youde with a questioning look.
Ever since they knew their own family's future fate, they had not defected to other princes, nor had they thought of serving others.
Actually.
Among the many princes and forces in the Jiangnan generation, many monarchs had relatively tolerant personalities, just like Xiao Yan at the time. Although he valued family background very much and liked to make good use of people from aristocratic families.
However, generals who came from poor backgrounds can also be appointed in his hands, but they cannot be reused.
There is also Cao Jingzong, who has an arrogant personality, is addicted to wine, lust, and is extravagant and flashy, but Xiao Yan can still tolerate his shortcomings, and the emperor and his ministers start well and end well.
However, Wang Biyou always felt a little unwilling to surrender to forces like Xiao Yan and Chen Baxian.
These monarchs are always compared with Zhu Yuanzhang. Although they have objections to Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthless character, they have to admit that the other person is the real hero. His skills and scheming are the best in the world.
If Zhu Yuanzhang comes, even if Xiao Yan, Chen Baxian and others combined, they may not be the opponents of the Ming army.
With this kind of thinking.
Wang Bi naturally looked down upon the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, and just as he thought, Xiao Yan was pinned to death by Li Wenzhong before Zhu Yuanzhang arrived.
Xiao Yan was relatively unlucky. When he arrived, he only had Yang Kan and a few other generals around him.
The main force of the Nanliang Army was facing off against the Northern Wei army in Fengyang.
If it hadn't been for the Hou Jing Rebellion in his later years, Xiao Yan might have become a ninth-level monarch, drawing strength from the origin of the world and not falling midway after the first wave came.
"Yes, the king is merciful and has clear rewards and punishments. He also started from scratch and rose up with dozens of people. He defeated the former Qin, Cao Army, Huainan Army and other forces, sweeping across all directions!"
"Such a wise master with both civil and military talents and a tolerant mind is worth following!"
Fu Youde said immediately.
Although he defected to the Huai Army not long ago, he had great recognition of Wang Jing.
"Since Brother Tang heard about the Huai army in Jiashan, he should have some understanding of the rise of the king. It is rare in the whole world for a prince to be able to start from scratch and rise so quickly!"
"Not long ago, Your Majesty personally killed Deng Qiang and wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the former Qin Dynasty. Not long ago, the army will attack Huaidong..."
"Two brothers, if you want to make great achievements and enjoy glory and wealth, you might as well join me and serve King Huai!"
Fu Youde sincerely persuaded.
Wang Bi did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "I believe Brother Fu. Since the eldest brother thinks that King Huai is worthy of following, then the younger brother will join the eldest brother to defect to King Huai!"
Tang Shengzong hesitated.
Seeing this, Fu Youde added: "Actually, it's not just me, Mr. Wang Guangyang, Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, and Hu Weiyong have all defected to King Huai!"
"That bastard Hu Weiyong also defected to Prince Huai?"
When Tang Shengzong heard the name Hu Weiyong, his expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.
Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng really defected to Hu Weiyong and were the other party's party members.
He is not.
Otherwise, in the second year after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have erected a monument to him because of his ruthlessness towards those who wanted to rebel.
Although he knew that he was feared and purged by the emperor, which led to his death, the reason for his death was that he was a member of Hu Weiyong's party...
This made him somewhat angry towards Hu Weiyong.
"Yes, when I first found out, I was a little shocked, but when I think about it, even people like Hu Weiyong think that Prince Huai is worth defecting to, so what do we have to worry about?"
Fu Youde said.
Hu Weiyong's reputation in history was much worse than theirs, and he was even called a traitor.
But no matter what, Hu Weiyong's vision and wisdom are worthy of recognition.
Even he was willing to defect to King Huai.
They Huaixi generals don't have to worry.
Wang Bi also advised: "Brother Tang, don't think about it. From now on, we will all defect to King Huai, fight together in battle, and share the blessings and hardships. Wouldn't it be better than huddled in Jiashan?"
"good!"
After being persuaded by the two of them, Tang Shengzong hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
As Fu Youde said. grain storage
Even people with outstanding vision and resourcefulness, such as Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong, chose to defect to Wang Jing, which proves that Wang Jing is by no means the kind of ruthless and ruthless person.
Coupled with the reputation of the Huai Army, he finally made up his mind.
"I also listened to Brother Fu and sent 7,000 soldiers and horses from the mountain stronghold, 21 nearby Wubao, and 170,000 Dingkou to defect to King Huai!"
Once he made up his mind, he expressed his willingness on the spot to dedicate all the 7,000 elites trained in the village and the nearby territory to Wang Jing.
Fu Youde smiled and said: "Don't worry, the king has clear rewards and punishments. Your sacrifice of 7,000 soldiers and horses and more than 100,000 people can be directly converted into success. If I recommend you, you will not have a problem serving as a guerrilla general in the army!"
"As for Wang Bi, I guess you, like me, will be assigned to the king's personal army."
"Wait until you make great contributions later, then get promoted!"
He explained the Huai army's rules to the two in advance.
Wang Bi immediately smiled and said: "Brother Fu, don't worry, we have already entered the fifth level. If we want to make meritorious deeds in the future, we will have many opportunities. As long as King Huai's rewards and punishments are clear, even if we are just pawns at the beginning, we can still stand out!"
After the two expressed their opinions one after another.
Fu Youde immediately sent a fast horse to deliver the news to the camp. While reporting on the consolidation of the former Qin territory, he recommended these two brothers to Wang Jing.
He was also a Huaixi military general and a hero in the early Ming Dynasty.
Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng were obviously on the same page as Hu Weiyong and belonged to a small group. Now Fu Youde also formed a small circle with Tang Shengzong and Wang Bi.
It is estimated that Wang Guangyang will become a member of their small circle in the future.
It is normal for Shantou and small circles to be among the powerful.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Even if Wang Jing knew this, he wouldn't care, as long as they obeyed his orders and led his troops to fight honestly.
Of course, if they really have different aspirations and have a rebellious heart.
Wang Jing will not be soft-hearted.
He will not imitate Zhu Yuanzhang and kill heroes, but he will never tolerate traitors.
One day later.
The news reported by Fu Youde spread to Hukou.
At this time, Zhang Guiba, Wang Xiongdan and others were cleaning up the battlefield and guarding the prisoners in the Huai Army camp, while Wang Jing, Bu Zhi, Du Fuwei and others had returned to Hukou City.
Wang Jing doesn't need to worry about the finishing touches.
Now he only needs to consider the Huai Army's next move.
When the message is sent.
Wang Jingzheng summoned Bu Zhi and Han Xizai to discuss military strategy and whether to let the army rest temporarily.
After all, they had just experienced a big war, and the soldiers' physical strength and fighting will would definitely be affected to some extent.
"My opinion is to directly gather the army and continue to dispatch, approach Baoying along the Jinhu Waterway, and capture this place. The large territory south of the Huaihe River and north of Sheyang Lake will belong to our army... Our army can reach directly to the east The sea can have at least three mansions!"
"As for the issue of our army's physical strength and morale being affected by the battle just now, I don't think the king has to worry... Shanyang Mansion has an army of 200,000. Even with only the men and horses of Shanyang Camp, Baoying can be captured!"
"The king can mobilize the 50,000 reinforcements to attack the former Qin and rear armies, and let them come out of Gaoyou Lake to threaten the Sui army from the flanks, so that the other side will have some scruples!"
In the hall. Bu Zhi expressed his opinion.
What he meant was that the Huai army in the direction of Hukou had just fought, but the 50,000 reinforcements mobilized by Li Qiong were not greatly affected. And the 200,000 troops in Shanyang Camp were ready to attack.
If they take a temporary break and let them stop their plans, this will damage morale.
With the current strength of the Huai Army, it is more than enough to capture Baoying.
but.
Wang Jing's original strategic concept was to dispatch an army of 400,000 to defeat the four major forces in Huaidong.
Among the two armies, Shanyang Camp captured Baoying, Xinghua... Laozishan Camp was flanked and then attacked Gaoyou.
The two armies met in Gaoyou and then took Yangzhou in one go.
If what Bu Zhi said is true, the Laozishan camp cannot mobilize its full strength, and it would be difficult for the 300,000-strong army to sweep across Huaidong.
After all, the seemingly narrow Huaidong land in the source world.
After expanding ten times, it is comparable to two provinces. Moreover, the Sui army alone among the four princes in Huaidong had three to four hundred thousand soldiers...
It’s not that easy for the Huai Army to fight against one against four.
