Turbulent Times Chapter 1535: Far Eastern Army Wagang Camp
Thirteenth year of the great cause, on March 11th, Cheng Yaojin killed the envoy of the Li family, cutting off Xu Shiji's way to seek refuge with the Li family.
In the 13th year of Daye, on March 12th, under Cheng Yaojin's persuasion, Xu Shiji was forced to open the city gate and surrender to the Far East Army.
So far, the Wagang Army, which once dominated the Central Plains, shocked the world and made countless people believe that it could change the world, was completely destroyed in a strange process.
The Far Eastern Army also completely connected six counties in Hebei, eight counties in Henan, and five counties in Shandong.
At the same time, the Hedong Liyuan Group sent troops to Guanzhong. After arduous offensive and defensive battles, they finally conquered Chang'an City and occupied the entire Guanzhong. The other three counties also became one.
In this way, the previously chaotic situation in the entire north became clearer.
Wang Junlin Group and Li Yuan Group became the two most powerful overlords in the north.
Only Luoyang City and the surrounding two counties are still controlled by the forces of the Sui Dynasty headed by the Emperor Sun Yan Wang Yang Tan. Of course, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Yan Wang Yang Tan has become a puppet and truly controls the two counties surrounding Luoyang, Kyoto. It's Wang Shichong.
In addition, Mayi County was occupied by a group of horse thieves from outside the territory. Li Yuan tried to send troops to Mayi County, and found that the number of horse thieves had grown to 50,000 in just over a year. , if they want to capture Mayi County, they must pay a huge price. Compared with the importance of Guanzhong, Mayi County has always been placed at the bottom.
The situation in Tianshui County, Pingliang County, Jincheng County, Zhangye County, and Xiping County in the west is a bit strange. When the world is in constant war, these five counties seem a little quiet, but what is certain is that they have already Quietly controlled by the original lieutenant general, he became a five powerful warlord.
These five powerful warlords are Wu San, General Yingyanglang of Pingliang County, Zhou Hu, General Zhou Hu of Jincheng County, Su Changqing, General Yingyanglang of Zhangye County, and Jiang Mulang, General Xilang of Xiping County.
The person who controls Tianshui County is Shangguanhu, who originally guarded the northwest border pass.
In the early years, Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not know the relationship between these five warlords who suddenly rose and the horse thief in Mayi County and Wang Junlin. However, in the past two years, Li Shimin has secretly developed intelligence forces. With sharp eyes, he quickly figured out the relationship between these six people and Wang Junlin.
This is also the reason why Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to lead elite troops to guard against the Far East Army when he knew that Wang Junlin was plotting against the Central Plains and fought fiercely with the Wagang Army while attacking Guanzhong with all his strength.
……
……
Under Cheng Yaojin's guidance, Xu Shiji met Wang Junlin in the temporary Qin'an Palace in Luokou City.
Even Xu Shiji couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought that what he was going to meet was a peerless murderer and a peerless overlord.
Especially when he thought of all the remarkable deeds that Wang Junlin had done over the years that shocked the world and could even be called miracles, he even took a deep breath to calm down the agitation in his heart.
I don't know how King Qin An sees himself?
Although I have deliberately planned this, will it backfire? King Qin An is angry because he delayed surrendering until the end, so he will not reuse himself.
Although confident enough, but
Xu Shiji also knew that Wang Junlin had a lot of talents under his command, and there was never a shortage of good generals.
So, he has been worried that he will not be reused, and although he does not have the ambition to conquer the world, he has the ambition to conquer the world. If Wang Junlin does not want to reuse him, he believes that he will have no chance.
Because, if he fell into Wang Junlin's hands and became a general under his command, he might never have the chance to serve others again.
In the study room, Wang Junlin was engrossed in instructing the documents sent from the various counties under his command, seemingly not noticing the arrival of Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin.
With the rapid increase of the territory and population under his rule, he has to review the documents of various counties and counties most of the time every day, and these are screened by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Liu Ziming. It's not easy, after all how old Da Sui was!
"See you, my lord!" Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji stepped forward and saluted, with very respectful expressions.
"What strategy does General Xu think I can take Taiyuan?" Without any nonsense, he directly asked such a core question that the Far East Army is currently facing.
Before Xu Shiji came, he had naturally thought carefully about the process of meeting Wang Junlin, envisioned several kinds of Wang Junlin's attitude, and made a careful plan, even carefully considering the questions Wang Junlin might ask However, and carefully prepared how to deal with it and how to answer it is in your best interest.
Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, he never thought that Wang Junlin would directly ask such a question.
Based on his previous status, he never thought about sending troops to Hedong to capture Taiyuan.
So, he immediately settled down and began to meditate.
Perhaps in Wang Junlin's view, only in this way can he see Xu Shiji's true ability level.
Xu Shiji was after all the invincible Li Ji who was second only to Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty in history. It was not easy for the Far East Army to capture Taiyuan. I heard that Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, was good at commanding troops. If these 100,000 people are defeated within a month, Taiyuan and even the whole of Hedong will be captured. Li Yuan's main army in Guanzhong will immediately support him. Now the prince has 19 counties, and many counties need to be divided into guards to be able to attack. The troops in Hedong are limited, and when the time comes to fight against Li Yuan's troops, they will never be superior in terms of military strength, and the city of Taiyuan is tall and strong, no worse than Luoyang City and Chang'an City. It has been reinforced, so if the defenders in Taiyuan can't hold on, there is nothing we can do. In view of the above factors, I feel that Taiyuan and Hedong are not easy to fight."
"Very good." Wang Junlin nodded appreciatively. Unlike Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing, Xu Shiji didn't cater to him. He was able to stick to his own views in a realistic manner. He was thoughtful, logical, and had a strong view of the overall situation. , the eyes are very sharp, indeed extraordinary.
However, Xu Shiji just surrendered to the Far East Army after all
, the power of the Far Eastern Army is far from clear, and in the case of unclear intelligence information, it seems that there is no problem in drawing such a conclusion, but in fact it is naturally a big problem.
However, Wang Junlin didn't raise these questions, because he knew that he didn't need to raise them. It would take Xu Shiji a few days to understand that his analysis today was wrong, and the magnanimity he showed at this time would help make him feel better. The proud Xu Shiji truly surrendered to him.
Wang Junlin no longer mentioned the capture of Hedong and Taiyuan, put down the approval document in his hand, glanced at Xu Shiji and Chen Yaojin, and said with a smile: "Two generals, please sit down!"
The two sat down, Xu Shiji asked cautiously: "My lord, I don't know how to serve my lord with a lowly position?"
Xu Shiji was originally in no hurry to ask such a direct question, but the question Wang Junlin asked him just now made him feel that the curtain of the Far Eastern Army's conquest of the world has been completely lifted, and now the biggest enemy of the Far Eastern Army in the world is the Li Yuan Group. Among them, the attack on Hedong and Taiyuan was one of the most important links, and he didn't want to miss it.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "General Xu is very concerned about whether he will be reused by me!"
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xu Shiji's face, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Please redeem the crime of humble duty, humble duty is eager to serve the prince, of course, it is a lie to say that you don't care, humble duty last night Tossing and turning all night, I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night."
Wang Junlin said indifferently: "Your 50,000 horses still belong to your command, and Cheng Yaojin is the deputy general, organized into the Wagang Camp."
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words, and then they showed expressions of extreme gratitude, and they were filled with admiration for Wang Junlin's magnanimity and heart.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin are the real elders of the Wagang Village, and even the Wagang Army was able to develop to command the entire Central Plains, and even occupy more than half of Shandong. He is a character of different levels and has a deep feeling for the Wagang Army.
Wang Junlin obviously took this into consideration, so he directly organized their troops into the Wagang Camp, in order to take care of their plot and feelings.
But for the Far East Army, or from Wang Junlin's point of view, it is actually very taboo, because the Wagang Army is a surrendered army, an army that has just surrendered, and it is not bad that it has not been dispersed and incorporated into other armies , and also gave the Wagang Camp the battalion number, which naturally has the possibility of making the Wagang Camp hold together and give birth to a rebellious heart.
At this moment, Xu Shiji suddenly understood what Cheng Yaojin said before: Wang Junlin doesn't care how good the relationship between the two of them is, even if they hold heavy soldiers.
"I will give you half a year to complete the transformation of the Far East Army and the training mode of the Far East Army. But there is no need to go to the Snake Island training camp again. Recently, our training camp in the Central Plains has also been completed." Wang Junlin added.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "My lord, don't worry, the general will definitely complete the dressing and training tasks on time, and work hard for my lord to conquer the world."
