Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 160
"The two gentlemen came hand in hand, but what news did the Nanliang Army send?"

A smile appeared on Wang Jing's face, and he didn't regard the forces that were fighting in the north as powerful enemies that needed to be prepared.

When he was immersed in the gentle village these days, news from the north kept coming.

Among them, Xiao Yuanming of the Nanliang Army even sent someone to hint at some of his tendencies.

Now Sihong is booming, the army is getting more and more elite, and the reclaimed fields are harvested every [-] days. Wang Jing's granary has been filled with grain.

Even if hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, the supply can still be sufficient.

In such a situation where one goes up and the other goes up, and the power continues to grow, it is difficult for Wang Jing to worry about it.

"My lord's guess is right! Yesterday generals Ji Ling and Zhang Guihou teamed up to charge the battle with cavalry, and Zhang Lin lost thousands of elites, and he was completely at a disadvantage!"

"Xiao Yuanming secretly sent someone here, asking the lord to send troops to help!"

Zhu Wu said with a smile.

What the Sihong army wanted was for the other party to ask for help. If this was the case, the Sihong army would be famous.

After defeating Yuan Shu and Cao Jun, you can annex Tang Jun and Nanliang Jun!

"Speaking of which, Ma Yin, who escaped from us at the beginning, also made a lot of contributions to the fact that the Yuan-Zhang coalition army was able to defeat Zhang Lin this time!"

"When he broke through the siege, he brought two or three thousand Huainan army elites. With these elites as the core, he can form a soldier of ten thousand people..."

Shen Yi seemed to have thought of something, and also laughed.

The [-] army under Yuan Shu's command is not elite, it can only be said to be average, better than the mob.However, the personal guard army under the command of general Ji Ling has rich experience in battle and has good combat power.

The truly elite and brave soldiers are Zhang Guiba's Cao Army and Zhang Lin's Tang Army.Both sides are elite soldiers killed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

It's just that Zhang Lin's soldiers and horses are a little less, and he needs to recruit the Nanliang Army with average combat power to compete with the Cao Army.

With Ji Ling's [-] army, plus Ma Yin's two to three thousand elite soldiers.

There are several generals in the Yuan Zhang coalition army, and Zhang Lin has been crushed in all aspects.

This is the case.

No matter how strong Zhang Lin's personal ability is, he is somewhat powerless.After seeing this situation, Xiao Yuanming naturally had to think more about his family's way of life.

"Ma Yin, this person is also a talent. If I didn't escape, but put down my weapons and surrendered, I would definitely use this person!"

Wang Jing sighed.

Ma Yin was the king of Southern Chu in history, but he was not a man with deep ambitions in essence. He only dared to be a king, not emperor, and he obviously knew how to measure.

In its heyday, Ma Yin's territory and military strength were stronger than Yuan Shu's.

But there is a huge gap between the ambitions and abilities of the two.

A talent like Ma Yin who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to measure, even if he was a king in history, it doesn't matter, he can be reused.

Shen Yi and Zhu Wu also sighed a few words.

They all felt Wang Jing's love for talents, and they respected the lord even more... The lord who accepts advice with an open mind, cherishes talents, values ​​agriculture and mulberry, and reorganizes his military equipment is incomparably in line with the Ming lord they imagined.

If such a bright master can't accomplish anything, then God is really blind.

"My lord, Xiao Yuanming's envoy is still in the post in the city, waiting for a reply... I wonder when the lord wants to send troops?"

Zhu Wu asked.

Wang Jing calculated in his mind, thinking about the intelligence that came from the north these days, and judged the extent of the fighting between the Yuan Zhang coalition army and Zhang Lin.

"Let's send troops in five days!"

"It is impossible for Yuan and Zhang Dajun to ignore our army. They want to defeat Zhang Lin as quickly as possible, and then deal with our army with all their strength. Once they start a war with Zhang Lin, they will launch a full-force attack."

"We want Zhang Lin and Xiao Yuanming to feel the pressure, but we can't give Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba too long!"

Wang Jing thought for a moment before replying cautiously.

The dispatch of the army is not a trivial matter.The whole of Sihong must be mobilized, as well as Wanshou and Guiren.

His power has expanded to the present, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

But still not strong.

Once you send troops, you must win. If you lose, you will lose your vitality.

When Wang Jing can occupy the entire Jianghuai area, establish a country and become king, and have millions of soldiers and horses under his command, this kind of war of tens of thousands of people will not affect the entire power.

Even if it is defeated, it will not take long to recover.

"This time, I will dispatch [-] soldiers, [-] guards, and a total of [-] troops...Mr. Shen, the transportation of food and supplies, I will trouble you!"

Wang Jing said.

Shen Yi quickly said: "This subordinate understands!"

"Mr. Zhu, please help me count the soldiers and horses, select the elite, and prepare to send troops! Five days later, let the soldiers and horses gather in Guiren!"

When Wang Jing said this, he suddenly asked: "By the way, is the begging army safe now?"

Zhu Wu said: "Ran Liang has already agreed to the Lord's conditions for trading, and Tian Liangyun has been promoted to the county magistrate of Donghu, in charge of trading with the begging army... The begging army has just ended the war, at least there will be no changes in a short period of time!"

"That's good!"

Wang Jing nodded in satisfaction.

Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba had a combined army of [-]. If Wang Jing wanted to fight against them, he had to mobilize most of his troops.

But when the elite come out in full force, danger will easily appear in the rear.

Wang Jing didn't want to have a situation where he was fighting in the front, but his nest in the back was taken out.

……

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

Sihong, Wanshou, Donghu and other places began to speed up, and the manpower and materials in them began to prepare for the dispatch of troops.

Zhao Jianguo also withdrew from the matter of building the city.

The construction department he was in charge of, in addition to building the city, was also responsible for the construction of river ditches, palaces, and military supplies.

The master inheritance he got is extraordinary.

In order to make the transportation of grain and grass safer and more convenient, he took the van as the basis and upgraded it, transforming the van originally used for combat into a carriage for transporting grain and grass.

This new type of van can transport more food, and at the same time, when it encounters danger, it can also put down the surrounding baffles and quickly become a camp.

There is also the manufacture of armor and weapons. After Zhao Jianguo joined, the output has also increased day by day.

Now the restriction on the output of armor and weapons has changed from a shortage of craftsmen to a shortage of iron ore.

Thousands of miles around, the mountains and rivers are undulating, and there are naturally various mineral deposits.

In the past, the weapons and armor of the soldiers under Wang Jing's command mainly relied on capture, especially after taking Sihong City of the former Qin army, the arsenal and granary of the former Qin army made him rich.

The large number of horses and weapons prepared for the Battle of Feishui became the resource for Wang Jing's rapid expansion.

However, there is always a time when the seizures run out.

After tens of thousands of people have been armed, there are not many weapons and armors in stock, so they need to find iron ore and mine ore to make weapons and armors.

Establishing its own military industry system is also a manifestation of the solid foundation of one side's power.
