To the south of Dingyuan are Luzhou and Chuzhou, which is a vast area. Since there is no unified dynasty or Banbi dynasty here, most of them are occupied by various forces, large and small.
Among them, the three strongest forces near Dingyuan are Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, and Zhu Yanshou.
Among them, Zhu Yanshou was a general under Yang Xingmi in history. He had many military exploits and excellent military force, but his ability to lead troops was second-rate, not as good as Sun Ru who was destroyed by Wang Jing.
During the Five Dynasties period, Zhu Yanshou may be called a general, a first-rate general, but throughout history, he can only be classified as a third-rate general, probably close to the second-rate general.
As for Li Cheng, he was known as the King of Heaven and was a general in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He defected to the Song Army when the Song Army received benefits, and defected to the Jin State when the Jin State provided benefits. Finally, he became a general under the Jin State. He was greedy and had no choice. There is no loyalty at all.
In the illusory world of Water Margin, this person served as a general in Daming Mansion, and his status was far above Suo Chao and Yang Zhi...
Kong Yanzhou, like Li Cheng, was an ambitious man in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
However, although Li Cheng was greedy and ferocious, he still had some bottom lines. He was very loyal to the generals and soldiers under his command, so he was able to win over a large number of soldiers.
Kong Yanzhou, on the other hand, has no bottom line and is almost a beast in human skin.
He also set a precedent in history. After seeing his daughter's beauty, he actually became interested in his daughter and married her as a concubine...
This kind of person who had no bottom line despite Tsuna Chang finally took refuge in the Kingdom of Jin and actually died a good death!
but.
These three forces will not have such a good end in the Chinese world, and there is no Jin country for them to defect to.
After receiving the military order, Pei Sui, Xie Hui and Zhang Hao immediately led their troops south. After inquiring about the situation near Dingyuan, they directly attacked Zhu Yanshou.
Xie Hui reported in the military newspaper the reason why he chose Zhu Yanshou in the first place.
After all, Zhu Yanshou is a general who has mastered the ability of orthodox military training and command, and can also simply govern the people. His ability is one level better than that of Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou, and he has a stronger view of the overall situation.
If the Huai army attacks Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou first, Zhu Yanshou will definitely come to rescue them if their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.
But if they attack Zhu Yanshou first, the other two families will most likely stand by and watch...
"Pei Sui, Xie Hui... one is a famous Nanliang general who is as famous as Wei Rui, the other is a military advisor who assisted Liu Yu in his expedition, and together with Zhang Hao, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people... dealing with these three forces is simply a killing blow. Chicken!"
Wang Jing smiled while watching the military report.
At this time, in addition to Gao Xi, there were also Han Xizai, the minister of the Ministry of War, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Wang Guangyang and others in the hall who were still busy dealing with the Lingbi Suzhou matter.
Hundreds of thousands of troops went out to expand the territory for thousands of miles. It was not the end of the world after defeating the enemy. After defeating the enemy, the army returned to rest, clean up and allocate the captured materials, and resettle hundreds of thousands of prisoners...
A lot of things need to be handled by them.
Whenever Wang Jing thinks of this, he feels a little lucky. Fortunately, he has talents like Bu Zhi and Wang Guangyang under his command, as well as famous officials such as Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Shen Yue, Fan Yun, and Pei Ju.
Without these people to support the Huai army system, Wang Jing alone would be too tired to solve the internal affairs of the three major provinces.
Wang Jing is not Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if he is capable of handling internal affairs, he will never spend all his time on it.
"What the king said is true. Among the three forces, only Zhu Yanshou has some ability. Although the other two have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they are just a mob..."
Han Xizai smiled and said, "General Pei Sui destroyed Zhu Yanshou in one battle. General Zhang Hao killed the enemy generals and captured tens of thousands. Kong Yanzhou and Li Cheng, who claimed to have more than 100,000 troops, did not dare to fight against General Pei... Now the two of them They were even captured alive, I wonder what the king is going to do with them?"
"Kill, kill those who deserve to be killed. The captured soldiers will be put into hard labor first, repairing roads, cultivating farmland... Clean up the places they have harmed and then reorganize them!"
Wang Jing waved his hand and said directly.
Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou are not weak in strength, especially Li Cheng who has already touched the seventh level. However, their character is worrying, and Wang Jing is not willing to accept them.
Such garbage, no matter how powerful it is, will only be a waste of food if left in the world.
"In addition, according to the order of Chuangu, Pei Sui made outstanding achievements and was promoted to the rank of general. He led 50,000 troops to garrison in Dingyuan. He transferred Fan Yun to be the governor of the town and established Fengyang Prefecture and Dingyuan Prefecture. Fan Yun was temporarily responsible for the two places. Magistrate, sort out the civil affairs!"
"Xie Hui was promoted to Minister of War, and Zhang Hao was promoted to General... After receiving the order, he led the white horse cavalry back to Sihong!"
Wang Jing pondered for a moment and said.
Although Pei Sui defected not long ago, his reputation and character in history were excellent, and Wang Jing was willing to give him more trust.
"The king ordered General Pei Sui to garrison Dingyuan, but to prepare for the attack on Shouchun?"
Han Xizai asked.
Wang Jingdao: "Yes, Dingyuan and Fengyang are not far from Shouchun. General Pei Sui has ninth-level strength. If Shouchun has enemies, he will be there to ensure that everything is safe."
At this time, both Gao Xi and Han Xizai knew that the Huai army would attack Shouchun next, and it would happen very soon.
"Our army has just experienced a big war, and our soldiers need to rest and recuperate. If we go out with a large army at this time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will decline..."
Han Xizai said hesitantly.
The soldiers of the Huai Army have basically practiced military skills. They can use evil spirits to stimulate their bodies and tap their potential on the battlefield. Every time they experience a battle, as long as they are immortal, they can unleash part of their potential.
But after the potential is stimulated, it takes a certain amount of time to consolidate and replenish the consumed energy and blood, so that the soldiers can become stronger as they fight.
When the soldiers still have potential.
If the soldiers are squeezed too hard, it is easy for them to damage their roots and consume most of their potential. What is lost in doing so is the future of the soldiers.
In other words, in the early stage of joining the army, soldiers should rest after a major battle, and try not to let the soldiers fight in bloody battles continuously...
Wang Jingdao: "You understand what you said, but our army has more than a million soldiers. The last time we attacked Xi Chu, we only used 600,000 soldiers, and there were still 400,000 soldiers left!"
"This time we send troops, we will mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have not gone to war before, and the 600,000 soldiers who have fought in battles will continue to rest and recuperate."
Gao Xi was shocked as he listened.
The Huai army sent out troops, often with hundreds of thousands of troops, just like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, relying on the majestic army to directly crush the enemy. The method of using military force cannot be more upright.
However, the amount of food and grass materials required to do so is also an astronomical figure.
Only Huaijun has such a family background.
"However, I don't want to send troops immediately. Let Mr. Shen, Bu Zhi and others handle the affairs of Lingbi and other places first. After the army returns from the expedition, it will not be too late to convene the ministers for discussion!"
Wang Jing added.
