But many people will have the idea in their minds that if I hadn't made meritorious deeds, you wouldn't have thought of becoming the king. On the outside, they showed no secret in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, showing their rudeness and violence.
And many generals of the Huai Army.
He seemed very peaceful in front of Wang Jing. Well, it wasn't peaceful, but he obeyed Wang Jing from the bottom of his heart...
"The king's method of controlling the generals is more similar to that of Tang Taizong and Emperor Guangwu! Only with full confidence and the confidence to suppress all the ministers can we have such confidence!"
Li Shanchang thought to himself.
Li Shimin joined the army as a young man. He first led the cavalry to charge into the battle and was invincible. Later, with more troops and horses at his disposal, he began to control the generals and conquer the east and west as a general and marshal.
Whether it is Qin Qiong who can stab enemy generals like grass in the midst of thousands of troops, Yu Chigong who has a fiery personality, or Cheng Yaojin who is rough on the outside but slippery on the inside...
These famous first-class generals and top generals all admire Li Shimin.
Why? Because Li Shimin is very capable! They think they can't compare.
Since ancient times, armies have been prone to awe and obedience to strong men, generals and marshals who can lead them to victory.
Strong generals and generals can easily gather morale in the army and win prestige.
As long as they are human, they don't want to die, and the soldiers in the army, standing at the corpse site, will definitely be willing to follow someone who can lead them to grow and survive on the battlefield.
Top-notch generals like Bai Qi and Li Jing, who have never been defeated, can easily gain the following of many generals and generals. And such people are most likely to be jealous of the monarch.
In the Qin Kingdom, Bai Qi won every battle and became the God of War. His prestige in the army was second only to the King of Qin. No matter how wise and powerful the King of Qin was, he could not help but be wary. This was the instinct of a king.
Therefore, once Bai Qi disobeys orders and does not listen to King Zhaoxiang's orders, it will be a sign of resentment in the eyes of King Qin, and he is only one step away from launching an army to rebel.
In order to stifle this possibility, the King of Qin directly sent someone to kill him... Situations like Bai Qi's were not uncommon since ancient times.
but.
This is also related to the monarch's lack of confidence and feeling that he cannot suppress his ministers. King Zhaoxiang is definitely not as good as Bai Qi, and Liu Bang is definitely not Han Xin's opponent.
So once the generals can no longer be commanded, they immediately take the lead.
But Liu Xiu and Li Shimin have never had such worries.
Because the twenty-eight Yuntai generals who assisted Liu Xiu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty, their ability to lead troops, internal affairs capabilities, and military prestige were far inferior to Liu Xiu's.
Liu Xiu himself was the first commander-in-chief of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The same is true for Li Shimin. He himself was the most powerful general and marshal in the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Jing, who was known as Sun Wu Han Bai and Wei Huo Li Yue, was almost as equal as Li Shimin.
If Li Jing rebelled, Li Shimin would have enough confidence to go into battle and defeat him personally.
In the Huai army.
Wang Jing's ability to command troops increased day by day, and he was now able to command an army of more than 100,000 people. In many battles when the Huai army rose, Wang Jing personally led the troops.
In the previous Southern Expedition, Wang Jing commanded the army and swept through many princes like a sweeping force. Although generals such as Fu Youde and Yang Kan performed outstandingly, they mostly followed Wang Jing's command.
Coupled with the tyrannical strength shown by Wang Jing... Even Fu Youde and Yang Kan were not sure of winning against Wang Jing.
In the army, the strong are respected.
Wang Jing is such a strong man. As long as Wang Jing does not perform poorly in the future, no one can replace his position in the army.
…
Wang Jing and his generals did not stay in Suining for too long.
After asking Zhang Lin about Murong's situation.
Wang Jing then gave an order, and the naval warships sailed out of the camp and transported more than 100,000 troops to the north bank of the river.
Then Wang Jing asked Wang Bi, Shen Guang, and Lu Zhongheng to lead 10,000 troops each to capture the cities on the north bank that were conquered by Murong De.
Wang Jing personally led the Chinese army and penetrated Murongde's hometown, Ancheng.
Wherever the army passed, horses' hooves rolled with great force, as if the red torrent could sweep everything away.
Naturally, such a movement could not be hidden from Murong's spies.
Among Murong's brothers, Murong De's abilities were relatively average, but when he came, he inherited some of Murong's elites, including Murong's cavalry.
He was not willing to send these cavalry into battle even during the northern expedition to Pizhou.
Now, under the command of Murong Shaozong, some of these cavalry were selected to serve as spies and spread across the vast wilderness. The Huai army had just crossed the river, and the spies had already found out.
Murongde's territory was sandwiched between the canal and the Suishui River. The land was fertile. He gathered many refugees from the north. At its peak, he had more than 200,000 troops and more than 2 million soldiers and civilians.
But now, only a small part of his 200,000 troops are left.
Very miserable.
Inside Anseong City.
After receiving the news that the Huai army was heading north, Murong De hurriedly found Murong Shaozong and said, "General, as you expected, Wang Jingxiao'er personally led the troops north. Now that the Huai army has crossed the Suishui... How should we deal with this? ?”
Murong Shaozong, an elegant man, was looking at the map in the palace.
Seeing Murong De coming in a hurry, he immediately asked without showing any signs of surprise.
"Wang Jing personally led the troops..."
Murong Shaozong murmured to himself and sighed in his heart.
In the current situation, he doesn't have any good solution in mind. It's not that he is incompetent, but that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
He is a famous general and has a certain status in history. He is even listed as one of the seventy-two generals of the Martial Temple, worthy of the Northern Qi Temple.
But he is not God.
With Nan Yan's current situation, let alone him, even if he becomes white, there is nothing he can do.
We can only rely on the city to hold on, hoping to achieve the miracle of the Battle of Yubi in history.
In fact, after he defeated Zhang Lin, he made a suggestion to Murongde, asking him to abandon Ancheng, select elites to go north, and go to Qingzhou to start over...
In the land of Jianghuai, the Huai army is already the de facto overlord. Xuzhou and Pizhou also have strong enemies. Only Qingzhou's power is not that strong and there is still a chance of survival and expansion.
However, Murongde obviously did not listen to his opinion.
Not everyone has the decisiveness to cut off the wrists of a strong man, and if he had followed his suggestion, Murongde would not have cut off the wrists or tail, but would have directly discarded all the parts below the neck... leaving only the core.
While hesitating, Wang Jing led his army directly to the north. At this time, there was no need for Murong De to think about it.
"I have no other choice. I can only use troops to cover up the water and the earth..."
Murong Shaozong sighed.
Murong De was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he had no other choice but to hand over the troops and horses in the city to Murong Shaozong again.
A few days later.
As the spies kept returning one after another, they brought news that the Huai army was approaching.
Finally, accompanied by the sound of horns rising into the sky outside the city.
The Huai army, like a torrent, finally arrived.
Murong Shaozong, Murong De and others had already arrived at the city wall, watching a black line emerging in the distance, quickly turning into a red torrent that drowned everything.
The Huai army cavalry, which seemed to be able to subvert the world, trampled on the earth, came with a roar, galloped back and forth a mile outside the city, and quickly cut off the city.
The military camp where Murong Shaozong stayed outside the city to communicate with the city was also surrounded.
To defend the city, you must defend the wilderness.
Even if a large army is approaching, they cannot give up their strongholds in the wild. They must maintain news channels with the outside world, otherwise they will be blind. In this case, no matter how strong the city is, it will be broken sooner or later.
Murong Shaozong made no mistakes in his arrangement, and he should be said to be a famous general.
It's just... faced with the encirclement of more than 100,000 troops, what effect these arrangements can have depends on God's will.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Chapter 440 did not express it clearly. Soochow is not full of ninth-level generals. In fact, only Sun Ce, the four major governors, and Taishi Ci are ninth-level generals. That’s why it is said that there are many ninth-level generals. The others are Huang Gai and Han Dang. . Not the ninth level, just a fierce general...Sorry, I didn't write it clearly, I have already revised it...
