A few days later.
Shouchun and Fengtai in the north of the Huaihe River respectively sent westward results of this battle, including their own casualties, statistics on the number of enemies killed and the amount of supplies seized.
In the palace, Wang Jingduan sat on the throne, and Han Xizai and Fan Yun beside him were calculating the results of this battle.
After completing the calculation, the two people had incredible looks on their faces.
"Your Majesty, our army dispatched a total of 400,000 waterborne cavalry in this battle, and another 100,000 troops and horses under Zhu Yi and Wen Qin. They successively destroyed the camps of Zhuge Dan and Wei, and killed and captured more than 500,000 people. But we The military casualties were no more than 6,000..."
"Such a great victory is unprecedented!"
Han Xizai praised loudly.
In most battlefields, if two forces that are not far apart are fighting each other, even if you kill 10,000 enemies, you will lose 8,000.
Only in a few cases can a small number of casualties be exchanged for major losses to the enemy.
For example, Wang Jing used to lead his troops to fight everywhere, and he would win big every time, but the casualties each time added up to a large number. The only thing that was more fortunate was that none of the troops were annihilated.
Fan Yun also praised: "The king has divine power and destiny, so this battle can be successful and we can win a great victory!"
Wang Jing laughed.
Winning this battle completely eliminated most of the anxiety in his heart. Not only did they not lose soldiers and horses, but they recruited soldiers from Zhu Yi, Shouchuncheng, and Wei Junyingzhai.
On the contrary, the strength of his troops increased rapidly.
It can be said that the more you fight, the stronger you become.
Wang Jing said: "This battle is all planned by you from the rear. Fu Youde, Yuan Ying, He Ruobi and other generals are fighting hard at the front to achieve a complete victory. You are all heroes!"
Although Fu Youde did not show any special abilities in this battle.
But being able to command hundreds of thousands of troops in an orderly manner represents ability in itself, so Wang Jing has decided in his heart that after returning to Sihong, he will promote the other party to the title of General of the Southern Expedition.
In the military system of the Huai Army, above the Four Towns and Siping Generals, there are the Four Expeditions Generals. Each of the Four Expeditions Generals is the commander-in-chief of the front army when going into battle. In wartime, he can probably command about 300,000 to 500,000 troops. horse.
These important generals are also accompanied by the military records of the Privy Council, who are responsible for advising the generals of the Four Expeditions and supervising the allocation of grain and grass, military discipline and other matters.
As for the civil servants accompanying the army, they are also equipped with central personnel.
In the future, there may be official positions such as governor and general, but these positions are basically court officials and will not go to the battlefield without large-scale campaigns.
If it is time to go to the battlefield, the governor and general will hold the scepter and lead the army on behalf of the king.
At this moment.
The Huai Army's military system has been completely improved from the lowest commander to the general. It may be adjusted in the future according to the situation, but it will never be changed on a large scale.
"There is one more thing for the king to decide... The king originally ordered that Zhang Liao and the others be allowed to leave so as not to anger Cao Cao, but Long live Shi..."
Han Xizai said with a deep expression on his face.
"I know about this! As the saying goes, the general will not accept the fate of the foreign king. Shi Wansui killed Man Chong in order to win the hearts and minds of the Wei army prisoners and the people on the north bank. These orphans can understand."
Wang Jing said in a deep voice.
Gao Xi, as the head of the Secretariat Supervisory Office, also participated in the discussion and listened quietly from the side. Even if Han Xizai deliberately caused obstacles for Shi Wansui, he was not moved at all.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes.
Han Xizai and Shi Wansui seem to be incompatible with each other, but if you think about Han Xizai's motives carefully, you can understand why he did this.
Han Xizai and Lin Renzhao were both from the Southern Tang Dynasty. After both Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou entered the harem, the Southern Tang Dynasty had a firm foothold in the Huai Army. However, the relationship in the harem could only be maintained and could not be easily used.
What allowed the Southern Tang Dynasty to gain a firm foothold in the Huai Army was Lin Renzhao's status as naval general.
However, Lin Renzhao's identity is now threatened... He Ruobi has been severely impacted, and He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, and Gao Xi are from the Sui Dynasty...
Therefore, there is not much difference between attacking Shi Wansui and attacking He Ruobi.
Han Xizai was not deliberately suppressing it, it was more like a test and a signal to Gao Xi, He Ruobi and others, indicating that the Southern Tang clan was not so easy to bully...
Han Xizai's thoughts, Wang Jing's and Gao Xi's thoughts were as clear as a fire.
Wang Jing had no intention of suppressing Shi Wansui.
Just kidding, Shi Wansui and He Ruobi had just defected to the Huai Army and had made such great achievements. As long as Wang Jing was not a fool, there was no way he could suppress them.
It won’t be too late to wait until they gain power.
"But Shi Wansui did violate the king's order. So, Zhaoxuan, you send a message for me and ask Shi Wansui to write a memorandum of apology. There is no need to mention this matter again!"
Wang Jing pondered slightly and said.
Gao Xi was good at everything, and although Shi Wansui had a straightforward personality, he was not a fool. There was nothing difficult about writing a memorandum of apology. Anyway, Wang Jing had already promised not to pursue further, and it was just a passable appearance.
Han Xizai felt Wang Jing's attitude and stopped talking.
Wang Jing didn't take it too seriously. He had so many ministers under his command, so it was normal for there to be friction among each other due to their authority and status. No need to pursue.
"In addition, write another transfer order to Gu, asking Yang Hong and Tian Liangyun to go to Sihong to hand over the government affairs. Half a month later, they will go to Shouchun to establish the Huainan Province!" "Among them, Yang Hong is the chief envoy to Huainan, and Tian Liangyun As an envoy...as for the commander of the guards...let Liu Wei be in charge."
"Officials from all prefectures and counties in Huainan will be transferred from officials and deputies from all prefectures and counties in Huaibei, and then injured soldiers will be used as patrols to stabilize all areas in Huainan as soon as possible!"
Wang Jing gave the order directly.
This is the formal establishment of the Huainan Province. According to his plan, the Huainan Province will only have Huainan and Fengtai prefectures for the time being, and then the territory under its jurisdiction will continue to extend southward.
In Wang Jing's mind, the southern part of Huainan Province will go directly to Chaohu, including Hefei, Lu'an and other places.
The information sent by spies from the Military Intelligence Department said that there were no strong enemies north of Hefei and Lu'an, only some rebel soldiers and military leaders from various dynasties. It can be wiped out by dispatching a troop of soldiers and horses.
The task of clearing up the chaos in various parts of Huainan Province requires Yang Hong, Tian Liangyun and Liu Wei to discuss with each other.
Yang Hong was once an important minister under Yuan Shu, and he was very good at planning and domestic affairs. After the surrender, he was appointed as the county magistrate and then the prefect. His political achievements were outstanding, so Wang Jing considered it and directly promoted him to the provincial level.
If he can make achievements in Huainan's internal affairs, there is the possibility of further advancement in the future.
Actually.
Shen Yue and Fan Yun, the two prime ministers of Southern Liang, are more capable than Yang Hong, but they have not been here for too long and their credit is not enough. In terms of qualifications and merit, Yang Hong stands out.
