"Let our army send troops to help him repel Chen Baxian?"
Chen Yi, Bu Zhi and others looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Even if Wang Sengbian was willing to pay land, money and silk, it would be difficult for them to agree.
"We can't send out troops! Our army is preparing to attack Shouchun at this time. The 400,000-strong army has been mobilized. We just wait until the time is right to send out the army... It would be unwise to be distracted and make an enemy of Chen Baxian at this time!"
Bu Zhi stood up directly and was the first to speak.
As civil servants, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang didn't talk much about military strategy.
As for Fu Youde and Gao Xi in the hall, they also agreed with Abu Zhao's words.
At this time, in addition to the original core officials of the Huai Army, there were also Gao Xi, Cao Jingzong, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Yuan Ying and others in the palace.
Among them, Cao Jingzong and Yuanying are representatives of the Southern Liang and Northern Wei families.
They were friends with Pei Sui and Yang Dayan, so they were included in the palace and could participate in military and state affairs.
Of course, Cao Jingzong and Yuanying's official positions were at a level where they could participate in major events.
As for Gao Xi, He Ruobi and Shi Wansui.
Their official positions are not high, but they are powerful. They are all ninth-level powerhouses.
Ninth-level experts are strategic resources in the world of China and must be respected.
Even in the Huai Army system, as long as you can reach the ninth level, you can participate in discussing military and state affairs with important civil and military ministers. Have the right to speak out. Among the ninth-level experts, Li Shanchang, Murong Shaozong, Pei Sui, and Yang Dayan had something to do and had not returned yet, so they were not present.
The remaining nine steps are all in the palace. Wang Jing gave them a chance to speak.
After Bu Zhi spoke, other civil and military officials also began to express their opinions. Generally speaking, their opinions are similar to Bu Zhao's, and they do not agree to send troops to support.
Even Fu Youde of the military and Cao Jingzong, who was also from the Nanliang faction, did not agree.
Although there is an opportunity to make military exploits when a war breaks out.
But Shouchun is about to send troops, and there is already an opportunity, so there is no need to separate another battlefield.
As famous generals, they all understand the disadvantages of temporarily changing strategies.
"Yeah! I understand!"
Wang Jing nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and made a decision immediately.
"Our army is gathering together now, and the news should have been passed back by spies from other forces."
"Including Chen Baxian, they also know the news about our army's mobilization of troops, but they don't know our army's strategic direction yet!"
"In this case, Gu can send tens of thousands of elites to station in Tianchang, and Chen Baxian will not dare to act rashly for the time being!"
Bu Zhi, Gao Xi and others were all extremely intelligent people. When they heard Wang Jing's words, their eyes suddenly flashed and they understood Wang Jing's unspoken plan.
"The king's intention is to send a small number of troops to deter Chen Baxian, but he is not prepared to fight Chen Jun?"
Han Xizai asked.
"Yes, Chen Baxian, Wu Mingche, Xiao Moke...the three of them are all first-class generals in history, and they have hundreds of thousands of troops under their command that cannot be underestimated. Our army's goal is still Shouchun, this remains unchanged!"
"Wang Sengbian is now at the end of his rope. He might as well send someone to persuade this person to defect to our army. The territory and city will be handed over to Chen Baxian..."
Wang Jing's plan is simple.
That is to first send an elite force southward and hold off hundreds of thousands of troops so that Chen Ba would not dare to act rashly, and then send people to contact the other party to carve up Wang Sengbian's headquarters together.
Among them, the Huai army swallowed Wang Sengbian and his 30,000 remaining soldiers, while Chen Baxian annexed the territory and city.
One is an important person and the other is an important place. It's like everyone gets what they need.
Under the strong threat of the Huai army, Chen Ba first did not dare not agree, and then he said that agreeing would be good for himself. A large territory in the northern part of Chuzhou can be obtained without any effort.
The only disadvantage is that Wang Sengbian, his mortal enemy, must be let go.
However, the Huai army gathered but did not attack, giving the opponent a great shock, so he could only agree to Wang Jing's conditions.
"This...is indeed feasible!"
Bu Zhi, Han Xizai and others looked at each other and nodded secretly.
If we follow what the king said, the Huai army and Chen Baxian will each get what they need, and only Wang Sengbian will be injured.
But Wang Sengbian had no room for objection.
If he wanted to survive, he had to do what Wang Jing wanted.
Wang Sengbian is similar to Wu Mingche under Chen Baxian and Murong Shaozong under Wang Jing. They all entered the martial arts temple, but their records and abilities were at the bottom.
That is parallel imports.
Of course, their abilities are not that unbearable, and they all reached the ninth level when they were at the peak of the Divine World, but compared with other famous martial arts generals, they are a bit weak.
Even among the many famous generals of the Southern Liang Dynasty, Wei Rui, known as Crouching Tiger, was not selected, but Wang Sengbian was among them, which was a bit outrageous.
However, being able to be selected into the martial arts temple and receive incense offerings from past generations proves that even if these famous generals are parallel imports, their abilities are sufficiently guaranteed. The bottom famous generals are at least the top generals of their time.
"Well, since everyone has no objections, this matter will be settled!"
"General Cao, you choose 50,000 elites to go to Tianchang Mansion. If Wang Sengbian agrees, let him take the remaining soldiers to Dingyuan to rest. If he doesn't agree... then find a way to make him agree!"
Wang Jing's eyes fell on Cao Jingzong.
Cao Jingzong used to be a general in Nanliang and had a great reputation. It would be best to leave this matter to him.
"The last general takes command!"
Cao Jingzong stood up with a hint of joy on his face.
I thought that since there were many famous generals in the Huai Army, he would not be reused in a short time. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to lead troops on an expedition so soon.
Now that things have happened, Cao Jingzong has also recognized the reality and is ready to truly integrate into the Huai Army.
The best way to integrate into the Huai Army is to perform meritorious service!
"Okay! I will send Xiao Yuanming as the envoy to the town and send troops with you. I hope you can live up to your expectations and succeed immediately!"
Wang Jing sent Xiao Yuanming out again.
Xiao Yuanming and Wang Sengbian were acquaintances. With his contact, Wang Sengbian had a higher chance of joining.
In the history of the source world, the Northern Qi army went south to threaten and asked Wang Sengbian to support Xiao Yuanming as emperor. Wang Sengbian did not dare to fight the Northern Qi army and finally agreed.
It can be seen from this that although Wang Sengbian is a famous general, he is not as tough as Chen Baxian at the critical moment when facing a powerful enemy.
"Send the order, if Wang Sengbian arrives in Dingyuan, reorganize on the spot!"
"Let Pei Sui be prepared to send troops to Shouchun!"
Wang Jing said in a deep voice.
The matter between Wang Sengbian and Chen Baxian was just an interlude. Now the Huai Army's 400,000 troops have been mobilized. They are just waiting for Wang Jing's order to go upstream and station themselves in various places in Huainan.
But before the army sets out for battle.
We still have to wait for Pei Ju to send back the news that Cao Jingzong successfully eliminated Wang Sengbian...
Before that, the vanguard army can first station in Fengyang Mansion, and the navy, infantry, and cavalry are also ready.
Wang Jing glanced at the generals in the palace.
"Yuan Ying...you are the general of the former army in this battle. Shi Wansui is transferred to the front army and serves as the vanguard."
"Han Xizai, you set out with the forward army to transport grain, grass and baggage in Fengyang..."
