In the direction of Jiaxing, Han Shizhong's Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and horses had an absolute advantage, while Taishi Ci had no reinforcements outside, and the morale in the city was very low, reaching its limit.
However, it was not until He Ruobi left Jiaxing and other places that Han Shizhong conquered Jiaxing City not long ago.
From this point of view, Han Shizhong's ability does not seem to be as powerful as he expected.
Of course, maybe Han Shizhong also had his own reasons,
For example, the soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty were average in strength and lacked experience in attacking fortified cities. Taishi Ci, who defended the city, was a marksman and an unparalleled general on the battlefield.
But in Wang Jing's eyes, Han Shizhong was so famous and his status in history was several levels higher than that of Tai Shici, so he should have a way to quickly deal with his opponent.
Obviously Han Shizhong didn't show it.
Wang Jing would not consider whether Han Shizhong had any difficulties. He only believed what he saw.
"Taishi Ziyi is a rare tiger general who values love and righteousness. It's a pity that he can't be used by me! What a pity!"
Wang Jing said "pity" twice in a row, and his regretful emotions were clearly visible.
In the military information sent by the spies.
It is clearly written that Taishi Ci died in the city. After the remaining troops of Soochow were defeated, he fought with Han Shizhong for dozens of rounds, and finally committed suicide after retreating to the general's mansion in the city.
Obviously, after knowing that Sun Ce died on the battlefield, Taishi Ci had already made up his mind to walk the last leg of the journey on the battlefield.
Maybe in his heart.
When Sun Ce wanted to take his place in Jiaxing, his life already belonged to his lord. Loyal ministers had nothing to do with the two masters. Since his lord died in battle and his great cause was ruined, he would not survive in this world.
"In the Eastern Wu forces, there were only three people who were willing to die for the Sun family in the end. Han Dang and Zu Mao were Sun Jian's family generals, and Tai Shici was Sun Ce's confidant... They have nothing to do with the powerful Jiangdong family!"
Wang Jing picked up the memorial in his hand and shook his head slightly.
There are many talents in the world of China, but there are also very few talents.
There are monarchs and ministers who can be listed in the annals of history. There are many loyal ministers and chariots. There are many talents in every era.
There are more talents who are buried among the people.
For example, in history, Shi Wansui was punished to guard the border in Dunhuang. Among them, the Dunhuang garrison leader was extremely brave. He often broke into Turkic tribes single-handedly to kill people, seize horses, and drive cattle and sheep. He looked down upon Shi Wansui very much and often beat and scolded him.
Shi Wansui, who was known as the most powerful general of the Sui Dynasty, did not dare to fight back in front of the Dunhuang garrison leader. He just claimed that he was also a warrior. Later, in order to prove that he single-handedly rushed into the Turkic tribe and killed many cavalry, this was Gained the praise of the Dunhuang garrison commander and avoided the humiliation of being beaten and scolded...
Shi Wansui is known as the Dunhuang garrison. He has not been buried in history. The main reason is that he has a good family background. Even if he is punished to Dunhuang to garrison, it is only a temporary dormancy. His connections are all there. In the future, as long as there is an opportunity, he can make a comeback at any time. .
The Dunhuang garrison leader, who was more brave than Shi Wansui, could only benefit from Shi Wansui's glory and was briefly mentioned in his biography.
There is no record beyond this point.
The men, who were as powerful as Guan Zhang, disappeared into the long river of history just because of their family background and no one to promote them.
For example, Wang Jing now has tens of millions of people under his rule. As long as he wants to employ people, a large number of talents will definitely appear. So there are a lot of talents.
But with so many talents, not everyone has the potential of the ninth level. Even if they have the potential of the ninth level, not everyone values love and justice and is worthy of entrusting them with big things.
At this stage, one of the ninth-level generals has died. As a monarch, it is normal to feel regret.
At this time.
There were footsteps outside the hall, and Gao Xi, who had rushed back from Suzhou, asked for an audience outside with an urgent memorial.
"Zhaoxuan is in such a hurry, could something big happen?"
Wang Jing asked with a smile after letting the other party in.
"It is indeed a big event, and it is a happy event!"
Gao Xi laughed.
Wang Jing suddenly became interested and showed a questioning look.
Gao Xi did not dare to betray himself in front of Wang Jing, so he quickly took out the emergency report in his hand and said: "Our cavalry in Yixing encountered the Xie family of Chen County who escaped from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The head of the Xie family, Xie An, is willing to raise The family surrenders to the king!"
"In addition, Xie An is also willing to write a letter to Xie Xuan and ask Xie Xuan to join our army!"
Wang Jing's eyes lit up slightly.
"It's indeed a great event!"
There was a smile on his face. Under his rule, there was a lot of suppression on aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, Xie An was willing to defect to him and did not go to Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty like other aristocratic families.
Of course, Wang Jing could also guess Xie An's thoughts.
With Xie An, a top wise man who has left his name in history, he can naturally see that the princes in the south of the Yangtze River have reached an important stage of deciding the winner.
But in this finals, Southern Song Dynasty was not qualified to enter.
After excluding the Southern Song Dynasty, there were only Huaijun and Ming Dynasty. In comparison, Wang Jing felt that his reputation was much better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
It seems normal for the other party to defect to him.
"Xie An is a famous person in the world. If we can get his help, I will achieve great things..."
Wang Jing smiled.
Gao Xi did not feel jealous when his king praised Xie An so much because he knew what Wang Jing meant. Xie An's reputation was known to anyone who knew a little bit about history.
If other talented people in the Jiangnan area know the news that Xie An defected to the Huai army.
Those talents who originally wanted to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely seriously consider their choice.
This makes the situation of Ming Dynasty that already does not have many foreign talents even worse.
One thing grows and the other fades away.
The Huai army received the support of many talented people, especially the famous ninth-level ministers, and its power could quickly increase. However, the Jinling Ming army remained stationary, which meant that it continued to fall behind.
In the final decisive battle between the two sides, Jinling will naturally not be the opponent of the Huai army.
The influence of a top celebrity, especially one like Xie An, is incalculable. At least, none of these people, such as Gao Xi, Li Shanchang, and Zhang Dun, can match his appeal.
Moreover, in addition to himself, Xie An also brought along one of the top players in history, Xie Xuan...
"Your Majesty, Xie An has already written a letter to Lujiang, but just in case, should we also send an envoy to Hefei Yang to contact Xie Xuan?"
Gao Xi asked.
Wang Jingding nodded and said immediately: "You are right. We also need to send a messenger to avoid any accidents on the way to deliver the message. Well, send the message to Pei Ju and ask him to go there in person!"
Gao Xi responded immediately.
Wang Jing's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "If Xie Xuan agrees to surrender to Gu, the land of Lujiang will be at your fingertips! By then, Nanchen will be destroyed and all will be in the north of the river. The east and west roads of Jinling plus the north will be surrounded by our army on three sides. Surround!"
"Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely powerful, it will be difficult for him to compete with our army!"
