The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Soon, the people in Xianghe City discovered that Xiang Tai, who had been on the street for a long time and looked like a homeless man, had disappeared.

Instead of being decadent, he chose to face it, and was reused by Dugu Xin of Shangzhu Kingdom.

He has fought against the enemy for a long time, so he is very experienced in dealing with the enemy, and he has a foundation. He has a group of old subordinates who still follow him.

Even though Yuan King Xiang Qi pushed him away, under the protection of Dugu Xin, he himself showed his talent, Xiang Qi couldn't touch him, and he regained power.

In the eyes of everyone, this former prince and king is full of energy again, and he is still the same as before, full of righteousness and hatred.

He also said that as long as he can deal with the enemy, he is willing to be a soldier who charges into the battle.

This won him a lot of goodwill, and he quickly gained a lot of supporters.

This also further explained Xiang Tai's ability, but Xiang Qi regretted it a little. He felt that it was his stimulation that made Xiang Tai rekindle his fighting spirit.

It's just that they don't know it.

Xiang Tai has changed.

He has been completely disappointed with this country, and he wants to get back his dignity from the other side, even if this side is the former enemy...

"A person who has fallen to the bottom, when he climbs up again, his strength will be stronger and more thorough. Xiang Tai is like this."

Wang Kang said: "We need such a person. Winning Xiang Tai is not only beneficial to our attack on Pingguo, but also has a great effect on the next war."

"But is he trustworthy?"

Lin Zhen said suspiciously: "Xiang Taike is different from other princes and kings."

"Yes, it is because he is different from other princes and kings, so once he has made up his mind, he will not have other distracting thoughts, because he has no choice..."

During the march, Wang Kang talked about his thoughts and strategies to his subordinates.

Although it's a bit late.

But Wang Kang led the small team, and soon caught up with the big team and merged together.

Due to the weather, the marching speed was not considered fast, but it had been a while since the troops were dispatched, and the army had already entered the territory of Pingguo.

The journey has been smooth, so far, no enemy resistance has been encountered, and no enemy troops have even been seen.

"What do they mean, don't they care?"

Lin Zhen wondered, "I haven't even seen a single enemy soldier."

"Because of insufficient troops."

Wang Kang said: "Dividing the troops and sticking to the defense will only give us a chance to break through, so we should concentrate our troops in one place and defend passively!"

"I think their army should be stationed in the capital of Ping Kingdom, Xianghe City."

Wang Kang saw it very clearly and knew what was going on.

"Then what do we do?"

Lin Zhen asked: "Should we attack Xianghe directly, or?"

"Don't worry, we will retreat slowly. When we encounter a city, we will enter it. When we encounter a city, we will seize it. It is not to seize the city, but to win the hearts of the people!"

Wang Kang said: "Let them defend Xianghe to the death. The other places are lost. What's the use of a capital, and we must give Xiang Tai time. It is not difficult to attack Xianghe."

Wang Kang unfolded the military map as he spoke.

This military map was discovered when they occupied Changning City, and it is a relatively detailed military map.

Pingguo is considered a medium-sized vassal state. Its area is not as large as Hengguo, but it is not too small. The overall shape is like an ellipse.

The capital Xianghe is at the center of the circle.

After careful study, Wang Kang decided to divide his troops.

This time he brought out the Pingxi Army, the family's private soldiers, and the Feng'an Army. The Yanghan Army has a total strength of more than 15.

If they enter the territory of Pingguo and attack Xianghe directly, of course there is no need to divide the troops, but what Wang Kang wants more is to control the people's hearts and minds, and the efficiency of dividing the troops will be higher.

"Will this be a little risky?"

Lin Zhen said: "We don't know the strength of the enemy army. Maybe there will be reinforcements. If we divide the troops, we will give them a chance to defeat each other."

"It's a little risky, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Our army is attacking, and the enemy has already been frightened. They will not take the initiative to attack. We can divide our troops into three groups."

"The Pingxi army and the family's private army are on the same road, led by me personally, and also on the main road, attacking from the middle."

"The Feng'an army is on the way, attacking from the right side, there are two main cities along the way, and the center of gravity is also here."

"The Yanghan army is on the way, attacking from the left side, you can cut in from the Xiangping and Dalin areas, and when you reach the middle, gather troops to the center and attack Xianghe..."

Wang Kang arranged the battle plan.

Just like targeting Shouchun, the troops were divided into five groups, and now he is using the same strategy, dividing the troops into three groups, which can improve efficiency and achieve strategic goals.

Wang Kang instructed: "Our main purpose is not to attack the city, but the will of the people. Now that the Chu State has lifted the military restriction order, all the vassal states are recruiting troops wantonly, and Ping State is no exception."

"After we captured it, it was also a relief for them. Pay attention to the application of this aspect."

"understand!"

"Keep in touch at all times. If you really encounter enemy encirclement and suppression, fight if you can, and retreat if you can't fight. The main purpose is to preserve the new force."

This is the idea that Wang Kang has always instilled in his troops.

No matter at any time, the most important people, save people and lose land, all people and land exist.

"Okay, then let's go quickly."

After Wang Kang summoned the main generals and made arrangements, he began to divide the troops.

With the army separated, the marching speed can also be accelerated.

And he led the Pingxi army, and the family's private army continued to move forward.

Although there is no more snow, the weather is getting colder.

The grass and trees have already dried up in winter, and it is difficult to find a suitable place to camp in the field to find firewood. The soldiers suffered a lot.

This is the time when the soldiers' perseverance is most tested.
