Zhu Yi and Wen Qin, father and son, had decided to defect to the Huai Army, and Pei Ju also gave them good treatment. Among them, Wen Qin and Zhu Yi became generals directly after joining the Huai Army.
Wen Yang was conferred the title of guerrilla general and transferred into the bodyguard army. When the main force of the Huai army arrived, they joined the front army on the spot and followed General Yuan Ying's orders.
A general can command an army of more than 10,000 people. In the Huai army system, he can generally command about 30,000 to 50,000 people.
At this time, there are more than 100,000 troops in Bagong Mountain. The two generals Zhu Yi and Wen Qin alone can absorb the quota of 100,000, and Wen Yang selects 3,000 more elites.
The rest are basically old and weak.
Whether it is the elite soldiers who have newly joined the Huai Army or the old and weak who have been eliminated, the Huai Army has a systematic resettlement method. To put it simply, it is to retreat to the second line to farm, or to join various prefectures and counties to become local inspections.
As long as they are capable people, they will not be buried.
"We are really flattered by the king's love!"
Zhu Yi couldn't help but sigh after hearing what Pei Ju said about his treatment and placement conditions.
This sentence was often mentioned by many generals who had joined the Huai Army before.
What they said is also true. Compared with how some monarchs treat their generals who have just defected, some monarchs either adopt adopted sons or receive high-ranking officials and generous salaries. No matter what attitude they have, they cannot change the fact that the generals who have just defected have to sit indifferently at the beginning. The bench, the fact that it cannot hold authority.
Only after your loyalty has been fully tested can you slowly integrate into the power and gain trust.
However, the time required for this process is measured in years.
Wang Jing's method is slightly different from other monarchs, that is, he employs people simply and neatly. As long as he can get his approval, he will directly trust the generals as long as they defect to him.
Those who came with troops and defected would be directly awarded the position of general according to the number and strength of the troops and horses they led. Those who came alone and defected would be incorporated into the army and given ample opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
As long as they are capable generals, they can quickly stand out from the Huai Army and become the middle and upper-level generals of the Huai Army.
Wen Qin was also very satisfied.
This was especially true when he heard that the former general who led the army to attack Shouchun this time was Yuan Ying who had defected to the Huai Army some time ago.
Even Yuanying, who had just defected, dared to appoint the former army commander. It seems that King Huai is indeed a wise and tolerant king.
Generals like Wen Qin, who had rebelled repeatedly in history, were most worried about the monarch's suspicion.
Historically, Wen Qin was first a general of Cao Wei and followed the army to conquer Soochow. Later, he followed others to launch a rebellion. After the defeat, he fled to Soochow... Wen Qin was the core figure in the three Huainan rebellions in the later period of Cao Wei.
Not many monarchs would be at ease with such a general who jumps repeatedly.
This is also one of the reasons why Wen Qin's son Wen Yang, who was obviously a very capable general and fierce general and made great military exploits for the Sima clan, was eventually wiped out.
When Wen Qin read the records about himself and his son in the history books, he felt a heartfelt rejection and hatred for the Sima family.
At the same time, Wen Qin will become extremely sensitive inside.
Once he defected to other forces and there was any slight disturbance, he would worry about whether he would be squeezed out and suppressed again, and whether the monarch would want him to take action.
Wang Jing's attitude actually made Wen Qin feel relieved deep in his heart. Slowly, truly integrate into the Huai Army.
Pei Ju on the side looked at the expressions of the two people in front of him and knew what they were thinking.
The king was indeed generous to the general who defected halfway, and Pei Ju also knew that the king had enough confidence and confidence to do so.
Today's Huai army is full of famous generals.
There are many generals who have the potential to reach the ninth level. Wen Qin and Zhu Yi don't even have the potential of the ninth level. If they dare to have second thoughts and send a ninth-level strongman here, they can be destroyed.
Moreover, the king is already a ninth-level strongman at this time. With the blessing of national destiny, as long as he is within the Huai Army City, he can suppress other ninth-level warriors. Even a strong man like Shi Wansui can suppress him.
With great strength, one can naturally be calm and generous.
"Brother Pei, just now you said that you would let the bad boy join the bodyguard army and serve under the former army chief General Yuan Ying... Forgive me, I wonder when General Yuan Ying will send troops?"
Wen Qin asked.
Pei Ju secretly calculated the time and said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, General Yuanying should have arrived at Fengyang Mansion at this time, and the king will also go to Fengyang to take charge!"
"If you two have time, you can leave one to stay at Bagong Mountain, and the other to follow me to Fengyang to meet the king!"
The main force of the Huai army has arrived in Fengyang?
Zhu Yi and Wen Qin's expressions changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at each other. They had not received the news, and they did not expect that the Huai army would move so quickly.
Not long ago, troops and horses were sent to Tianchang to coerce Nanchen's troops and recruit Wang Sengbian.
It has only been a few days, but the main army has quietly arrived in Fengyang!
Fortunately, they did not agree to Zhuge Jin.
If the wrong decision is made, the Huai Army's mighty army will advance by land and water in just a few days, and the fate of their military stronghold in Bagong Mountain will be unpredictable.
In any case, neither Zhu Yi nor Wen Qin had the confidence to defeat the Huai army with their own troops.
They were pretty lucky to be able to defect before the main force of the Huai Army sent out troops.
"What Brother Pei said is true. Since we have decided to go to Fengyang, how can we not go to see him? Since the king is coming to Fengyang, the governor will stay in Bagong Mountain, and I will go to Fengyang to see..."
Wen Qin said proactively.
Zhu Yi pondered slightly, "That's fine. I will take advantage of this period of time to select elites in Bagong Mountain and reorganize them according to the system of the Huai Army...our army!"
…
To the north of Fengyang Mansion is the broad Huaihe River.
The water surface of Huai River is wide, and a large number of ships are plying back and forth on the river. These ships are not the most common merchant ships in the past, but large five-tooth ships with ferocious claws.
The Five-Toothed Ship is the pinnacle of Sui Dynasty naval warships in history. It is fifty-five meters long and has six rackets on the front, rear, left and right. When approaching an enemy warship, the racket can be lowered to destroy the enemy ship. If it is surrounded, , or it can be a six-pronged attack, and the combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.
After the supervision and improvement of He Chou, a master craftsman of the Sui Dynasty, the five-tooth warship at the peak of the Sui Dynasty became the most powerful warship of the Huai Army Navy.
A large five-tooth ship can compete with dozens of ordinary warships and can serve as a flagship.
At this time, there were ten large five-tooth ships on the river.
In addition to the five-toothed ships that serve as the main force, there are also large and small ships and sterns.
To conquer Shouchun, naturally we cannot rely solely on infantry.
The navy is also very important.
At this time, Wang Jing stood on one of the five-toothed ships, looking at the army that was advancing by land and water and coming to Fengyang, and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, this is the news from Mr. Pei from Bagong Mountain!"
At this time, a guard approached, holding a memorial in his hand.
Gao Xi, who was following him, took it, glanced at the cover briefly, and then stepped forward and handed it to Wang Jing.
