"Wei Rui, Pei Sui..."
Wang Jing was silent for a moment. He knew the origins of the two people mentioned by Han Xizai. Wei Rui naturally did not need to say more. This man was called the number one general in Southern Liang and was called the top figure in the Six Dynasties by later generations.
In the eyes of many people, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Le Yi, Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, etc.
He came from a famous family and assisted Xiao Yan in many meritorious deeds. In the Battle of Zhongli, he and Cao Jingzong jointly defeated the Wei army. His personality was relatively calm, humble and reserved.
If he was the chief general of the Nanliang Army, Xiao Yuanming could build a relationship with him, and then Xiao Yuanming would use his emotions to persuade him to lead his army to join the Huai Army.
Pei Sui is also a famous general in Nanliang, very similar to Wei Rui. He was also from a famous family, he could not only govern the place, but also lead the army to defeat the enemy. He was called Wei Pei together with Wei Rui.
Both of them are personable and have general understanding of character.
But Cao Jingzong has completely different personalities from them. At best, he is rough and bold, at worst, he has a violent personality. No one except Xiao Yan is convinced.
Now that Xiao Yan has died, Wang Jing sends Xiao Yuanming to persuade this person, but there is a high probability that he will be driven back by random sticks.
"You are right. In that case, let's put aside the two armies in Fengyang. As for the general guarding this place, let's choose Qin Yanhui!"
Wang Jing thought about it and said.
The Nanliang Army has the enemy of the Northern Wei Army, and Cao Jingzong has a violent personality. There is basically no need to worry about the two joining together. Both sides are restrained by themselves and cannot advance eastwards in a short time.
Therefore, Wang Jing left Qin Yanhui in Hukou and asked him to recruit Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses, and then form the Guishan Camp with the elite of the Huai Army as the core.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can defend this place.
Bu Zhi immediately said: "General Qin Yanhui is very suitable for the Guishan camp. As for the Guishan magistrate, Brother Shen is a bachelor of the cabinet of the Ministry of Government. Brother Shen should recommend the candidate!"
When Wang Jing heard this, he glanced at the other party.
His consistent attitude has been to separate military and political affairs.
As a privy envoy, Bu Zhao had a say in military affairs, but government affairs, especially the selection of prefects and county magistrates, were not within his scope of authority.
Bu Zhao is very cautious and basically does not speak on government affairs, especially official appointments.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then send someone to send a message to Shen Yi first and ask him to recommend candidates..."
Wang Jing nodded slightly.
He was a little negligent just now.
As for the guard commander in charge of the guard station in Guishan Prefecture, this position seems to have a relatively high status. In fact, the power is limited to Guishan Prefecture. There are many candidates suitable for this position.
Qianhu, who is injured in the army and is difficult to fight again, can be promoted to the commander of the guards based on merit.
There is no need for Wang Jing to specifically mention this position. Bu Zhi only needs to give out several candidates and Wang Jing can choose one from them.
"Gu agreed to the plan you just mentioned. When Zhang Guiba comes back from handling the battlefield, Gu will personally lead the troops to Jinhu. You should be ready to send troops first!"
Wang Jing changed the subject and returned to the topic of strategic change just now.
In general, Wang Jing agreed with Bu Zhi's view.
Prepare appropriate adjustments to the strategy, turn the push across Huaidong into the focus on attacking the Sui army, and temporarily give up attacking the other three princes.
Wang Jing had made careful calculations just now.
According to the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department, the Sui army had always wanted to sweep through Huaidong and eliminate other princes. The troops that went north to attack Shanyang were just a partial division among partial divisions.
The main force of the Sui army has been fighting Zhang Shicheng and Yu Wenhuaji.
As for the Beifu Army, because Taixing where they were located was too close to the Jingkou of Zhenjiang, the Sui army only sent partial divisions for defense and did not take the initiative to attack the Beifu Army.
But the Sui army also put enough pressure on the Beifu army.
Wang Jing sent troops to attack Yang Guang. At least until he attacked Yangzhou, he didn't have to worry about the three major princes in Huaidong. If they united, it would be after Yang Guang was destroyed. Gu Lin
When Wang Jing wanted to overthrow the four major forces in one go, he considered that after Yang Guang was destroyed, the remaining three major forces would form a coalition and pose a threat to the Huai Army...
Now that I think about it, Wang Jing's strategic vision is still a bit big.
You have to eat your meals one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
According to Bu Zhao's plan, the Huai army can move more steadily.
After arranging what to do next.
Bu Zhi and Han Xizai then left, leaving only Wang Jing in the palace.
Wang Jing looked at the disappearing figures of the two men and thought about the issue of talents.
If the plan to go south succeeds.
As Bu Zhi said, if three more prefectures can be established in Huaidong, the selection of officials responsible for governance and generals to guard them will become a problem.
Among the civil and military officers under Wang Jing, except for those famous ministers in history.
Those scholars, scholars and other generals in the army who defected to the Huai Army have not yet fully grown up.
One or two years is not enough time for an ordinary scholar to become a qualified official in Wang Jing's eyes.
The most experienced of these scholars are only qualified for county-level positions.
They have no experience in governing the people and handling various things, and experience needs to be accumulated bit by bit.
There are also generals in the army. Most of them are only qualified for positions of one thousand households and below. They are still far from leading an army alone or guarding a place.
Whether it is the military or internal affairs, the talents Wang Jing wants to cultivate need time to grow.
In the time it took for them to grow, the Huai army's expansion speed increased by leaps and bounds, and the thirst for talents would only become more serious.
"If there is no other way, we can only promote the county magistrate to the county magistrate, and the patrol inspector to the county captain...forcibly promote the officials and let them sum up their experience while doing things!"
Wang Jing sighed.
This kind of forced promotion, summarizing experience while doing things, will definitely lead to many omissions. This is the price that needs to be paid for the incompatibility of virtue.
Middle and low-level talents can be solved through this method.
But talents at the government level, as well as high-level talents needed by the central government, cannot use this method. Now Wang Jing only has eight mansions. If there is a problem in one mansion, it will harm the vitality of the Huai Army.
"By the way, the reason why Fu Youde defected to me was because he heard Wang Guangyang's name... Tang Shengzong and Wang Bi defected to me because of Fu Youde..."
"If I spread the names of Fu Youde, Wang Guangyang, Xiao Yuanming, and Yang Kan around, I might be able to attract famous ministers and generals from the Ming Dynasty and Nanliang Dynasty to come forward!"
An idea flashed in Wang Jing's heart, and he suddenly thought of this.
There were many famous ministers and generals in these two eras, including Li Shanchang in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Rui, Pei Sui in Nanliang, Chang Yizhi, Wang Sengbian...
Li Shanchang and Wei Rui estimate that it will come in a few months.
Now lay the groundwork.
Maybe in a few months, Wang Jing will be able to gain two top famous ministers!
Even if the other party doesn't take the initiative to come, Wang Jing can get closer to them through Wang Guangyang and Xiao Yuanming and actively invite them. This is called planting sycamore trees and waiting for the phoenix to come.
He pondered for a moment.
Immediately send someone to call Fan Yin, the head of the Military Intelligence Department.
Let him do it immediately according to his own ideas.
