Without Zhuge Ke's command, the 10,000 elite soldiers who rushed out from Shouchun were quickly surrounded by the cavalry led by Wang Sengbian.
Amid the slogan "Those who surrender will not be killed," these Shouchun elite soldiers and generals put down their weapons one after another.
Although Pei Sui felt a little regretful for not capturing Zhuge Jin and his son, he could not leave the army to pursue the killing alone, so he could only let it go.
"Go back and report to the king!"
Pei Sui sighed.
Wang Sengbian said nothing after hearing this, but there was a hint of expectation and nervousness in his heart, and his emotions were a bit complicated. He had not seen King Huai since he joined the Huai army.
I really want to know what the monarch who refused to support and directly sent troops south to force him to surrender was like.
The news that Shouchun was defeated, that Zhuge Jin and his son were defeated and left alone quickly spread to Fengyang.
Wang Jing didn't have any trouble.
These things have been anticipated for a long time and are not a cause for joy.
"It's not bad. If Shouchun is won, we can establish the Huainan Province, and then we can set our sights on Jiangnan!"
Inside Fengyang Palace.
Wang Jing held the memorial handed over from Sihong and said with emotion.
Gao Xi felt a hint of impatience in the king's tone, and couldn't help but have some questions in his heart.
Wang Jing noticed his gaze and handed him the memorial that had been urgently sent by the Military Intelligence Department.
"Look at it!"
Gao Xi took the memorial respectfully, flipped through it quickly, and his expression became solemn.
The spies of the Military Intelligence Department in Jiangnan found out that after several bloody battles, the Ming Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty still had no winner, but the two armies no longer intercepted each other's merchants.
The two sides have already started a small amount of exchanges.
This is a dangerous signal for the Huai Army.
It means that the upper echelons of the two parties are no longer like spending hard money with each other. With communication and contact, the next step may be to call off their troops and call a truce, and then withdraw their troops and return to accumulate strength.
Once both sides stop fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely deal with the threat to the west, and Liu Yu will definitely deal with Xiao Daocheng in the east.
Xiao Daocheng and the Sun family of Soochow were defeated one after another, and they were definitely no match for Liu Yu.
After Liu Yu solves Xiao Daocheng, the Huai army will have to face Liu Yu's threat at close range if they want to go south again.
"Time waits for us!"
After Gao Xi read it, Wang Jing shook his head slightly and sighed.
He has dealt with several forces in Shouchun quickly enough, but the situation in Jiangnan is constantly changing, and it is impossible to wait until he resolves Shouchun and internal problems.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yu were both rare wise kings in history. They also knew the threat of the Huai army.
They must have heard about the Huai army's attack on Shouchun.
Will such an outstanding person allow Wang Jing to go south without any worries?
In addition to the Huai army in Huaibei, there is also Chen Baxian from Nanchen. Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang's envoy has arrived in Liuhe at this time, preparing to form an alliance with Chen Baxian.
Gao Xi pondered and said: "Your Majesty, our army already has one million troops. The battle of Shouchun is certain to be won at this time. We might as well mobilize other troops to garrison near Yangzhou first."
"You can also prepare food, grass and baggage in advance. In addition, you can send envoys to Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places to form alliances with the princes here. When we go south in the future, we can jointly attack the Sun family of Soochow. This can relieve some pressure on our army!"
What Gao Xi said was all about the big strategic direction. There were no tricks, but they all made sense.
Wang Jing continued to expand his troops in order to one day be able to fight on two fronts or even on three fronts.
Now it is just a matter of preparing food, grass and baggage in advance and mobilizing part of the troops. It had little impact on the Huai Army.
"However... our army's mobilization of troops to go south will inevitably attract the attention of Jinling and Danyang. Your Majesty might as well disguise the soldiers as guards and garrison them at various guards in Jiangdu Province. When they go south, gather them nearby! "
Gao Xi added.
Wang Jing nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhaoxuan is thinking about Zhou Xiang. Well, this matter is of great importance. I will send a letter to Shen Yi and Bu Zhi first to let them prepare."
Now the bachelor in charge of internal affairs is Shen Yi, and the privy envoy is Bu Zhi. The two of them are the civil and military leaders of the Huai army.
Although Wang Jing agreed with what Gao Xi said, the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops and countless grain and grass supplies was a major event that affected the Huai army's strategy and future.
If Shen Yi and Bu Zhi were not allowed to participate, then the two leaders of the civil service would lose their majesty.
"Calculating the time, Yuanying and Shi Wansui should have already broken through the Wei army camp..."
Wang Jing glanced toward the northwest.
He had the idea of visiting the enemy line in person and wanting to meet the famous general Zhang Liao in person.
Like the people in the Origin World, Wang Jing was most familiar with the princes, famous ministers and generals of the Three Kingdoms era.
Finally, a familiar famous general appeared, and of course he wanted to take a look.
The divine general inheritance he received still came from Zhao Yun.
boom!
Fire oil bombs covered the walls of the village, and the seemingly solid camp was already burning, with black smoke billowing into the sky. In mid-air, three figures kept colliding.
The wind and clouds were turbulent, and the thunder and lightning roared.
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, biting winds swept across the earth, and the vibrations of vitality in the void continued to spread toward the surrounding area for more than ten miles.
The Huai army was surrounded by military formations, and the Gang Qi containing the power of the law shook and was instantly weakened by more than half.
As for the Wei soldiers on the wall and inside the stronghold, the military formation was on the verge of collapse.
The vitality shook, and from time to time, hundreds of soldiers would explode, or they would be burnt to black by the wisps of lightning.
There were thousands of soldiers who died in the shock of vitality alone.
The soldiers of the Wei army inside the stronghold wall were originally unstable in military morale. They could persist until now only because of the harsh punishment of Man Chong, who came to replace Zhang Liao in commanding the troops and horses, and blocked the Huai army's attack.
Zhang Liao originally thought that he could rely on his own strength to block Yuan Ying and Shi Wansui.
But he thought too highly of himself. In just two days, he couldn't hold on any longer, and Man Chong had to come to support him.
No matter how powerful Zhang Liao and Man Chong are, they cannot defy heaven.
Boom!
A thunderbolt shook the sky.
The soldiers from both sides who were fighting below involuntarily raised their heads, and saw three entangled figures in mid-air colliding with each other, with two of them flying upside down a hundred feet each.
One of the figures was Zhang Liao.
The other figure is Yuanying...
The three-man melee, or Shi Wansui and Yuanying jointly bombarded Zhang Liao, finally achieved results.
A ninth-level powerhouse whose life levels undergo continuous transformation.
Both body and soul are already close to the legendary semi-immortal. Their vitality is so strong that even military commanders who sacrifice their potential to bravely improve can live for hundreds of years.
Unless there is a very obvious gap between such strong men, it would take three days and three nights to decide the winner.
Soldiers with average strength fight each other, and life and death can be determined in an instant.
Gangqi generals can be seriously injured if they are not careful during a fight.
Ninth-level famous ministers and scribes specialize in cultivating the soul. Even if they are killed, they may continue to survive with spiritual power and transform into existences similar to ghosts and immortals.
If a general is killed, he cannot survive in his spiritual body, but his vitality is extremely tenacious.
Ninth-level generals, especially those who are good at fighting in battle formations, can survive tenaciously with their strong vitality and the support from the laws of the divine world as long as they are not killed by a few moves.
Zhang Liao persisted for several days. When his physical strength and energy were exhausted to a certain extent, Shi Wansui finally saw the opportunity and stabbed him in the chest.
The body-protecting Gangqi couldn't bear it and was split open forcefully.
boom!
Zhang Liao fell into the camp and made a pit on the ground. A blood hole appeared in his chest. The granulation at the edge of the wound tried to heal, but was stopped by the lawful energy containing destructive power...
"Walk!"
Zhang Liao stood up forcibly, yelled at Man Chong on the wall, and then, wrapped in Gang Qi, he immediately broke through and fled to the rear.
