Chapter 490 Halfway

"What about the Western Chu army?"

Wang Jing thanked Chen Gong for a few words, then turned around and asked.

Xie Hui quickly said: "This time, the Western Chu army was almost completely wiped out. Most of the 40 cavalrymen died in the battle. There were also [-] Jiangdong cavalrymen, and less than [-] survived. The [-] army, the dead died, and the prisoners were captured." , only a very small number of defeated soldiers fled, and General Murong has already sent people to pursue them!"

"As for the weapons and armor left over from the battlefield, there are innumerable ones. In Lingbi City, there are 70 stones of grain and grass, 1 horses, and more than [-] armored swords!"

Wang Jing nodded slightly, and said: "The Western Chu army still has some background. By the way, General Gao Shun has made great achievements in trapping the camp this time. Gu has always been rewarded for his meritorious service. It's just that General Gao Shun is a foreign general, so it's not easy for Gu to do it well." General Gao Shun was promoted to rank..."

"Therefore, the food, supplies, armor and weapons, bows and crossbow materials, gold, silver, money and silk in Lingbi City belong to Pizhou, and the 1 war horses will be shared equally between your two families!"

"What do you think, Mr. Gongtai?"

Chen Gong's face suddenly showed joy, and he immediately stepped forward to salute, and thanked him: "Thank you, Duke Huai! The kindness of Duke Huai, I will remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

Wang Jing laughed.

These food and grass materials can make up for the losses of the Pizhou Army. For the Pizhou Army, these materials are very important, but in the eyes of the Huai Army, these things are just tasteless.

After Wang Jing listened to the reports from the officials under his command, he began to order separately to formally divide the territory of the Western Chu Army into two mansions, Suzhou Mansion and Lingbi Mansion.

The two prefectures each have seven or eight counties under their jurisdiction, and the civil affairs of the two prefectures are handled by the acting prefect Shen Yue.

By the way, set up a Northwest Camp in Suzhou Prefecture.

Wang Jing planned to use Zhang Guiba as the general in charge of the camp,

With the merits he made in this battle, he can be put on the official position of a Siping general and preside over one aspect of the defense of the Huai army, which can be regarded as a heavy use.

After Mai Tiezhang died in battle.

A sliver of understanding arose in Wang Jing's heart,
In the future, as there will be more and more powerhouses of the eighth and ninth ranks, the generals of the ninth rank will be the protagonists on the battlefield.

People like Mai Tiezhang and Zhang Guiba who had some reputations in history, but whose reputation and ability could not compare with the real historical famous generals, either died in battle or were squeezed to the second line by the ninth-rank generals.

In the future, they can only become middle and high-level generals in the army, who can be responsible for certain tasks, but they must not be allowed to act as vanguards or lead troops as the main generals.

With such strength, if he met a ninth-rank general or Xiang Zhuang, who commanded special arms, he would die.

There is also Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guiba's brother.

This person is known as brave and unparalleled. In the original history, he was the elite commander of Zhu Quanzhong's subordinates, and he had the potential to charge thousands of troops and fight against changes.

However, his potential is limited.

The upper limit is the eighth level. It will take a long time to break through to the ninth level. Wang Jing has no time to wait for them to grow up.

In the future, Wang Jing will lead troops to go out again. Their task is to guard the various places, maintain order, and take advantage of this time to practice.

If they practice hard and grow rapidly, Wang Jing can reuse them.

But if you don't have such ambition and opportunity, you can only slowly gain qualifications, and use various credits such as suppressing bandits and defending the city to slowly get promoted.

In the army, the strong are respected. Since Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, including Zhang Lin, the generals are somewhat lost in the crowd, then don't blame Wang Jing for doing so.

As a monarch, using people to know people is fundamental.

Sending the wrong person to the wrong position will only lead to disaster.

……

"Where are you going!"

When the battle in Lingbi City ended, Fu Youde was leading dozens of warships to drive eastward from Suzhou.

The waterway is fast.

After Fu Youde disembarked, he led thousands of cavalry to the north of Lingbi,

All the way by boat first, and then on horseback, these thousands of cavalry were also a little tired.Only Fu Youde was in high spirits and full of energy.

"We've arrived at Beitang River, about 240 miles away from Lingbi!"

A personal guard who is proficient in terrain stepped forward to report.

As a general, not to mention astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, but every time he goes to a place, he must inquire about the surrounding terrain so that he knows what he knows.

Fu Youde is an expert who is good at using terrain to defeat the enemy.

"More than 200 miles... I don't know what's going on with the King and the Western Chu Army!"

After taking Suzhou, Fu Youde marched as fast as thunder and lightning in order to come to Lingbi as soon as possible and complete the strategy set by the king before dispatching troops.

The thousands of cavalry he led were also the best of the best.

As long as they can appear on the battlefield, they will definitely cause a fatal blow to the morale of the Western Chu Army.Let them know that they have no reinforcements, and the only way to survive is to surrender.

Thousands of people can exert the effect of 10 people.

This is Fu Youde's strategy.

It's just that Fu Youde didn't know at this time that the Western Chu Army with 40 soldiers and horses had collapsed at this time.

"Report!"

At this time, Tan Ma ran quickly.

"General, the Western Chu army was found [-] miles ahead...there are probably more than [-] people!"

Tan Ma reported.

The spies found that among the more than 4000 Western Chu troops, there were some old and weak women and children, carrying soft packages, not like the elite of the Western Chu army, but more like defeated soldiers fleeing.

"Go and investigate again!"

Fu Youde frowned slightly, and said softly.

"Could it be that the Western Chu army has been defeated by the king's army? This... is not impossible!"

Fu Youde thought of the achievements of King Huai after his rise.

I don’t know how many times I have experienced battles like those defeating 20 or 30 soldiers, and it is not uncommon to face an army of more than [-].

In every battle, King Huai was able to defeat the enemy army at the fastest speed.

Although the Western Chu Army has a relatively high reputation, without Xiang Yu's absence, it is at the same level as the Sui Army.It is far from being able to compare with the Huai Army.

but.

No matter how Fu Youde guessed, as long as he led his troops to the front and surrounded and wiped out the defeated Western Chu army of more than 4000 people, he would naturally get the latest news about Lingbi from the enemy.

thought here.

Fu Youde immediately mobilized the horses, and shouted: "Head the order, everyone get on the horses and set off with the general!"

Boom!

Thousands of cavalry followed closely behind Fu Youde, and the dull sound of horseshoes immediately alarmed all directions. A large number of birds and beasts, frightened by the murderous cavalry, fled away one after another.

Forty miles away.

Thousands of Western Chu soldiers were guarding hundreds of old and weak women and children, and they were driving slowly with more than a dozen carriages.

The faces of these people showed the panic of fleeing for their lives and the fatigue of the long journey.

"General Yu, where are we going? It's not an option to keep going like this!"

A young general in armor frowned and said.

The one he called General Yu was Yu Ziqi who followed Fan Zeng's orders and took Xiang's children and the family members of the generals away from Lingbi.

 I stayed up late yesterday until 03:30, so tired today...
