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

Chapter 175 Strong pressure
"Greetings to General Zhennan, the general defeated the bandits of the grass army and rescued me from the fire and water. I am willing to vote with the whole army, and please take me in!"

Xiao Yuanming was very straightforward.

He went forward to pay respects, and without waiting for Wang Jing to speak, he directly expressed his willingness to join the Zhennan Army Mansion with the whole army.

Wang Jing immediately smiled and said, "Okay! Okay! From now on, everyone will be our own family!"

"Xiao Yuanming obeys!"

Since the other party was straightforward, Wang Jing also unceremoniously accepted his kindness with a smile.

With a straight face, he said in a deep voice: "The general appointed you as the commander of the guards, as a general, and selected [-] elite soldiers from the Liang army to form a battalion. Xiao Mian will be a guerrilla general and lead a battalion of soldiers and horses!"

"The rest of them will have their own rewards!"

For Xiao Yuanming, who took the initiative to seek refuge, Wang Jing did not hesitate to appoint him as the commander of the guard.

Participating generals are the leading generals in the combat system, who can lead [-] troops.

The commander of the guard is a senior official in the guard army system, and has the same status as the general.

Xiao Yuanming is not suitable for leading troops, and it would be detrimental to him and Sihong's army to have him serve as a general.

The Guards Army, on the other hand, trains troops in their spare time, farms and farms in peacetime, and is responsible for exterminating bandits in the territory and stabilizing one side.

As a guard commander, you don't need too much ability.

In the Sihong military government system, most of the predecessors of the Weisuo army were refugees, as well as auxiliary soldiers, bandits, and water thieves who were defeated by Wang Jing.

Let these people be responsible for hundreds of households and thousands of households.

Very inappropriate!
Among the soldiers, there are generals such as Li Kaifang and Mai Tiezhang.

The size of the guard army has already reached tens of thousands, but there has not been a thousand households in the guard...

They are all captives of defeated soldiers, bandits and water thieves, even if they join the guards, they are still ordinary soldiers. To appoint them as hundreds or thousands of households is to be unfair to the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield.

After all, the hundreds and thousands of households in the Weisuo Army are also official positions.

It is easy to cause dissatisfaction when the prisoners who have not done any meritorious service are promoted to officials.

But there is also a shortage of soldiers and officers under Wang Jing's command. It is impossible to send soldiers to the Guards Army as officers, right?

it's good now.

Xiao Yuanming was not capable enough, so he just happened to be the commander of the guard army, leading [-] guard soldiers, that is, a thousand households.The members of the Xiao clan under his command are the incompetent generals of the Southern Liang Army.

Just happened to be all assigned to the guards to enrich the branches of the guards.

As for whether this will make Xiao Yuanming's power grow stronger in the guard army...

Don't worry too much about this.

Right now, Wang Jing's power is still in the stage of intense expansion in the early stage. Whether it is sending troops to attack Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba, or to confront Yang Xingmi in the future, large-scale sending of troops is indispensable.

A large-scale fight will inevitably lead to losses, and the guards are Wang Jing's reserve team.

If there is a loss of troops, the guards will be dispatched to supplement them.

The battle continued, and the captured defeated soldiers and refugees were constantly mixed into the guards, and then the trained guards were drawn out... Xiao Yuanming's soldiers, horses and manpower.

If the ability is not enough, it will be slowly worn out in the continuous transfer and fighting in the future.

If his people are really capable.

That Wang Jing was not hesitant to give the other party a chance to climb up.

"Thank you General!"

When Xiao Yuanming received the letter from the envoy, he already knew the arrangement Wang Jing had given him. The Commander of the Guards had the same status as generals like Li Kaifang and Mai Tiezhang.

Although he cannot become a general of the first-line soldiers, he can only master the second-line guards...

But this result is better than worrying about being swallowed up by hungry wolves like Zhang Lin and Zhang Guiba before.

not to mention.

In addition to his official position as the commander of the guards, his confidant Xiao Mian was also appointed as a guerrilla general, and he commanded more than 3000 elites selected from the Liang army.

Whether it is status or power, Xiao Yuanming can be satisfied.

After worshiping again according to the rituals of monarchs and ministers.

Xiao Yuanming, Xiao Mian and others took their seats, Wang Jing clapped his hands, and the wine and meat were presented to each other. Many civil and military generals looked relaxed and began to drink and laugh.

Inside the Tang army camp.

Zhang Lin raised his head, his tiger eyes were slightly dull, as if he was thinking about something.

There are two lieutenants on both sides, looking at each other, exchanging glances, not daring to startle the main general.

Ok?
Zhang Lin's expression changed suddenly, as if he heard some sound, he frowned and asked, "What's the sound outside?"

One of the lieutenants went out and returned after a while.

"It's the Sihong army... Wang Jing is holding a banquet to reward the whole army..."

He reported in a low voice.

Rewarding the whole army, all the soldiers cheered, and their cheers spread to the Tang army's camp, and many generals watched the movement in the distant camp.

It seems to be able to smell the aroma of wine and meat in the distance.

Speaking of which, Tang Jun has been besieged repeatedly these days. They can only eat some cold dry food every day, and they have no time to eat hot food. Now they smell the aroma of wine and meat, and their appetites have been aroused.

"Reward the whole army..."

Zhang Lin's expression changed and he gritted his teeth.

"General, what should we do next? Now that Wang Jing is leading the elite, he must want our army to open the door for refuge..."

The deputy general said tentatively.

Zhang Lin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How many soldiers and horses do we have now?"

The lieutenant general replied: "Apart from Liang Jun and the brothers who were killed and injured in the battle, our army still has 1 soldiers. It's just that the morale of the army is low, and I'm afraid we won't be able to fight head-on with Wang Jing's soldiers!"

Zhang Lin's expression darkened.

More than 1 soldiers seem to be a lot. If he had just arrived, he could have swept all directions with these soldiers and horses, easily occupied Sizhou and achieved great success.

But not anymore.

More than 1 soldiers and horses can only be regarded as a middle-level force, and they cannot be compared with Wang Jing and Yuan Shu at all.

"General... Zhang Guiba and Yuan Shu are not only our enemies, but also Wang Jing's enemies! Why don't we send envoys out of the city to form an alliance with Wang Jing, respect him as the leader of the alliance, and jointly attack Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba?"

Another deputy general made a suggestion.

They all knew that Zhang Lin was stubborn and unwilling to bow his head, so they proposed a compromise.

Zhang Lin's eyes lit up first, but then he shook his head.

"Wang Jing came aggressively, how could he give up just because of these things?"

He collected himself, and saw that the eyes of his two trusted subordinates were full of worry, and there was a trace of unconcealable fear in the depths of their eyes.

He knew that these two lieutenants were different from him.

The current situation has already made them flustered, and they have no desire to fight for their lives.

When did the brave and rebellious generals of the Tang army become like this?

"That's it!"

Zhang Lin let out a breath that had been held in his heart, and suddenly let it go.

He looked a little downcast.

Even his two most trusted lieutenants no longer had the will to fight desperately with Wang Jingjun.

The morale of the other soldiers can be imagined.

He is just a general who leads the army to fight, after all, he can't sweep the Quartet and become the master of one side.

"No need to form an alliance!"

"Zhao Yong, you go to the Sihong barracks to meet Wang Jing in person!"

"Just say that Ben will be willing to surrender!"
