When he was under the command of Soochow, Gan Ning fought in various places at first and won many victories. He quickly expanded Soochow's territory to all directions, and he was able to obtain a large amount of resources and rewards.
Both its own strength and its family business are growing rapidly, and Soochow also hopes to become the overlord of Jiangnan.
It just didn't last long.
As millions of Huai troops garrisoned the Yangtze River, the situation in Soochow changed somewhat. Immediately afterwards, Sun Jian died in battle, Sun Ce was besieged, and countless Huai troops crossed the Yangtze River and headed south. Soochow was defeated everywhere.
Gan Ning is a ninth-level military general who can connect the vitality of heaven and earth with the lawful energy. If he is given enough time, he can even shake mountains and cut off rivers. With such strength, he should be invincible.
But the Huai army also has strong men, and the number of strong men is more than double that of Soochow.
Encountering the Huai army, Gan Ning began to be besieged by two generals of the same level. He couldn't use his strength, so he could only keep his head down and get beaten.
Even he is like this, so one can imagine the situation in Soochow.
Sure enough, Soochow was gone.
He obeyed Sun Quan's final order and became a general in the Huai army. So far he has not adapted to this change.
However, after joining the Huai Army, the feeling of having strong troops and using more troops to defeat fewer troops, relying on more troops and generals to suppress the opponent, gave him a strong sense of security.
Even Liu Yu, who is famous and has martial arts skills comparable to that of an overlord, is about to be besieged by the Huai army.
Thinking of this, Gan Ning's original unwillingness and frustration dissipated a lot.
As for whether King Huai would agree to Fu Youde's suggestion, Gan Ning believed that as long as King Huai was a normal person, he would definitely agree.
If we don't seize such a big opportunity, do we have to wait until Liu Yu withdraws his troops and then mobilize his troops to launch a small attack?
Don't forget, there are still Ming troops in Jinling.
If the Ming army found out that Liu Yu could not withstand it, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son would never remain indifferent.
…
When Fu Youde was delivering an urgent message to Wang Jing.
Sun Quan opened the city and surrendered, Suzhou was captured, and the news of Soochow's fall began to spread like the wind throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and quickly spread from top to bottom to the people of other forces.
Thanks to the novel, the Sun family of Soochow has a great reputation among the people and scholar groups.
Although smart people can see that the Sun family of Soochow was just a southern separatist force in history and could not be compared with those dynasties that occupied half of the country.
But who made them famous?
Sun Jian's hiding of the jade seal, Sun Ce's sweep of Jiangdong, and Sun Quan's Battle of Chibi are all popular stories. Now, some of the famous generals Mingjun in the story died in battle, and some joined the King of Huai.
Let the reputation of King Huai Wang Jing spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Jing received the news in Suzhou.
Chen Baxian, who had already led his troops to invade the border of Luzhou, accelerated his attack on the city and continued to fight with Xie Xuan who was stationed in Hefei. He was about to annex Luzhou and flee from Liuhe territory.
The King of Huai who occupied Jianghuai was terrifying enough, but the Huai army who destroyed Soochow and extended half of his arm to the south of the Yangtze River was even more terrifying.
This put Chen Baxian under great pressure.
Because with the current strength of the Huai Army, as long as Wang Jing has a thought, Liuhe's Nanchen troops will be destroyed.
Zhu Biao, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da's troops in Jinling also made some changes.
They began to mobilize troops and horses from Jinling to increase the number of troops and horses on the eastern defense line.
at the same time.
The spies of the Military Intelligence Department also found out that the combination of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun had swept across all directions and defeated all the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even the famous general Tao Kan could not withstand Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun.
The only general who could compete with Zhu Yuanzhang was Xie Xuan.
However, Xie Xuan was restrained by Chen Baxian, and the Yangtze River was blocked by the Ming navy, so he was unable to return to the south of the Yangtze River.
The forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty seemed to have many famous ministers and generals, but they were not among the best.
According to the spies of the Military Intelligence Department, it won't be long before the Ming army can break through the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and destroy it.
In Suzhou City.
Wang Jing was looking through the intelligence from various places in the Jiangnan courtyard that served as his palace. Basically, it was the reaction of other forces in Jiangnan to the fall of Soochow.
"The Ming army should not be underestimated. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty has the support of Wang Dao and Tao Kan, it has very few famous generals and is no match for Zhu Yuanzhang. It will not be long before the Ming army's territory will be doubled. It will swallow up all the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. !”
Wang Jing praised.
Gao Xi, Cen Wenwen and others have already arrived in Suzhou, and Lu Meng and Lu Su have also followed them.
After the two ninth-level generals arrived, Wang Jing summoned them immediately and showed his attitude. He would never leave Soochow's famous officials and generals alone.
Rather, prepare it for immediate use.
Because the territory of Soochow is vast and there are many secluded houses for aristocratic families and ordinary people, if Soochow wants to quickly restore stability, it must rely on the original civil servants and generals of Soochow.
As for whether to liquidate them in the future, that depends on their attitude.
After realizing Wang Jing's attitude, Lu Meng and Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was that King Huai would send reckless men like Yu Wen Chengdu and Zhang Hao to sweep across the countryside regardless of the situation.
We can negotiate any conditions, so why bother to exterminate all the families from the beginning...
With Sun Quan staying behind closed doors, Gu Yong, Lu Su, and Lu Meng became the top ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. They are now cooperating with the Huai army to march and the civil servants of the governor's mansion to quickly calm down the chaos in various places.
By Wang Jing's side, Gao Xi and Cen Wenwen were still available to provide advice and reference at any time.
"Our army captured Soochow, and the Ming army captured the Eastern Jin Dynasty... Although they both captured one force, for our army, capturing Soochow was just the icing on the cake, and for Jinling, it was a timely help!"
"By swallowing the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Ming army has opened up the way to go south and west. If the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can be quickly stabilized... with the strength of our army, it will be very difficult to destroy it!"
Gao Xi also attached great importance to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Like Wang Jing, he was very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In comparison, although Liu Yu was strong, Liu Song's fundamentals were too weak, and they were only better than Nan Qi and Nan Chen.
Serious calculation shows that Liu Song's military strength and territory are not even comparable to those of Soochow.
Mainly because Liu Yu forcibly promoted Liu Song's power, which gave people the impression that Liu Song was powerful.
"Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang! The famous Hongwu Emperor in history was best at farming and management. Except when he first started his business, when he had no choice but to risk a decisive battle with Chen Youliang, he treated other princes equally!"
"The process of pacifying the world is almost a matter of course!"
"To deal with such a powerful enemy, we must not give him time to grow and rise!"
Wang Jing's eyes flashed with cold light.
The process of his rise is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang. And his strategy of sweeping all directions is very similar to that of Emperor Hongwu.
He became even more afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Just like those who talk about cross talk, what they look forward to most is to fight together to death. Wang Jinggang began to imitate the opponent's strategy. He always used more to defeat fewer, and used national strength and military strength to push the opponent evenly.
This kind of strategy can win nine times out of ten.
The more this happened, the less Wang Jing could tolerate Zhu Yuanzhang's rise. Because he understood that if Zhu Yuanzhang was allowed to grow up, the Huai army would at most share Jiangnan with him in the future.
If you want to unify the South, don’t even think about it.
