After Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others discussed it, they finally looked at Li Mu.
After all, Li Mu is a state lieutenant and their immediate superior, and they themselves have military affairs. Without Li Mu's coordination, they would not be able to agree to Ji Bu's request and go to the front line of Longcheng.
Ji Bu felt a little regretful, but he didn't show it.
In fact, the one he most wanted to invite was Li Mu, but unfortunately Li Mu didn't have any ideas, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
"Wang Jian and General Wang Ben are at least better than us!" Ji Bu comforted himself.
"Go ahead, let me explain it to the king!" Li Mu nodded, approving Wang Jian and Wang Ben's outgoing support.
"However, your action this time is private. All merits will be distributed by Dragon City and have nothing to do with the Qin State!" Li Mu still reminded.
After all, this was the secondment of Dragon City and did not belong to the Qin State's own military operations, so the merits naturally belong to Dragon City, not the Qin State.
"Understood!" Wang Jian glanced at his son and nodded.
"Do we need to bring the army to the shogunate?"
After finalizing everything, Wang Jian looked at Ji Bu.
The battle of a large army is not only about the commanding ability of the general, but also requires the coordination of heralds, counselors and other shogunate officials in order to truly command a battle.
Otherwise, no matter how capable the commander is, it will be useless if the people below him cannot understand the instructions or do not obey them.
Just like a band, not only the singing skills of the lead singer are tested, but also the guitar and bass players behind them are also very important.
"No need. The Dragon Guard and Shadow Tiger Legion will absolutely obey orders. General, don't worry!" Ji Bu said hurriedly.
It is already very troublesome to mobilize Wang Jian and Wang Ben. If they were recruited as shogunate, Jiujiang Dongting would be gone by the time everything is done.
"Then the troops are valuable and quick, so the two generals will return with General Ji Bu today!" Li Mu is also a man who acts vigorously and resolutely.
Although it is a bit troublesome to second Wang Jian and Wang Ben, it can be done according to the urgency of the situation.
"Here!" Neither Wang Jian nor Wang Ben were hesitant. After receiving the approval, they decisively packed their bags and followed Ji Bu back to Jiujiang Dongting.
"What's the situation in Dragon City now?" Although they agreed to help, Wang Jian and Wang Ben still needed to understand the specific situation in Dragon City first.
"It has become a mess. After Xiang Yan led his army to surround Longcheng, he divided his troops and General Yingbu to fight for the counties of Jiujiang and Dongting. Now there is no war under Longcheng, but outside Longcheng.
You're going to be beaten to pieces!" Ji Bu said bitterly.
"Are most of the counties in Jiujiang and Dongting still in your hands now?" Wang Jian first frowned upon hearing Ji Bu's words.
"Xiang Yan is now gathering a large number of troops to compete with us for the two cities of Zhu and Hubei! Dongting is currently under our control!" Ji Bu introduced the current situation concisely and comprehensively.
"Zhu, Hubei is indeed crucial. Once Zhu, Hubei falls into the hands of the Chu army, then Dragon City will be in danger!" Wang Ben said solemnly while looking at the map Ji Bu brought.
"False!" Wang Jian shook his head.
"If I were Xiang Yan, I would never attack the two cities of Zhu and Hubei. This would just turn the siege of Longcheng into the siege of three cities! Therefore, Xiang Yan's real target is not Zhu and Hubei, but Dongting and Jiujiang
Other counties!" Wang Jian explained.
"Other counties?" Ji Bu was stunned.
"Both you and Mr. Long were fooled!" Wang Jian sighed.
"Fooled? Us and your Majesty?" Ji Bu couldn't believe his ears. He and Ji Bu might have been fooled, but how could your Majesty be fooled?
"Why did the Chu State attack Longcheng and recover Jiujiang and Dongting?" Wang Jian knew that Ji Bu didn't believe it, so he asked again.
"In order to fully respond to the Qin army's march south, Longcheng will not be allowed to disrupt the situation!" Ji Bu naturally knew this.
After all, before he surrendered to Longcheng, the strategic goal of the army was to regain Jiujiang and Dongting to prevent Longcheng from suddenly sending troops to disrupt the situation when the Chu State was fighting the Qin army.
"What about now?" Wang Jian continued to ask.
Ji Bu was instantly horrified. Xiang Yan did not want to conquer Dragon City and regain Jiujiang and Dongting, but wanted to destroy the entire Jiujiang and Dongting.
In this way, even if the Qin army goes south in the future, Longcheng will not be able to free up its hands to help and disrupt the Chu state!
"Do you understand?" Seeing Ji Bu's shock, Wang Jian knew that the other party had understood.
"But, doesn't your Majesty know?" Ji Bu looked at Wang Jian doubtfully.
"You may or may not know it, but compared to the Chu State, Dragon City is still too small. Even if you knew it, you wouldn't be able to stop it!" Wang Jian sighed.
"Then General Wang Jian, what should we do?" Ji Bu looked at Wang Jian expectantly.
Wang Jian can see Xiang Yan's purpose, so he must have a way to break the situation!
"It's very simple. Xiang Yan wants to destroy Jiujiang Dongting, so we will fight him until Xiang Yan can't go back to Shouchun!" Wang Jian glared and spoke domineeringly.
Don’t you want to destroy Dragon City? Don’t you want Dragon City to be unable to disrupt the situation?
Then we won't disturb the situation, but don't think you can bring back any soldiers, leave them all for me!
When the Qin army moves south, how many troops Shouchun can recruit to resist it!
Ji Bu didn't say anything more, and took Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son back to Zhu City where the army was temporarily stationed.
"How?" Yingbu saw Ji Bu returning and looked at Wang Jian and his son behind him, but he didn't recognize them.
Ji Bu briefly introduced Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son, and then followed Yingbu back to Zhucheng County where the Chinese army's commander's tent was located.
"Now it has been determined that Xiang Yan is basically attacking Zhu and Hubei. His real target is the other cities! This is the latest information!" Yingbu handed over the battle report during this period.
At the same time, they came to the map and gave Wang Jian and his son a detailed introduction to the current battlefield situation and troop deployment.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben were also listening and watching carefully, and finally determined that Xiang Yan's real purpose was to regain the remaining counties of Dongting in Jiujiang and isolate Longcheng.
"Take back all the troops!" After thinking carefully for a long time, Wang Jian finally decided on his strategy.
"Ah? Your Majesty's order is for us to guard the counties!" Yingbu hesitated.
"You can't defend it. If you send troops to defend every city, how many people can you have?" Wang Jian shook his head.
"So, disperse all the Shadow Tiger Army, look for the opponent's army of more than 5,000 people, and then assemble heavy troops to annihilate them all. If Xiang Yan is hurt, he will naturally stop!" Wang Jian said calmly.
"No need, we have better scouts!" Yingbu suddenly said.
"???" Wang Jian and Wang Ben were both stunned for a moment.
In their impression, the most suitable scouts for Dragon City are the Shadow Tiger Legion, who can fight, run, and appear elusive.
"Commander Eleven, please!" Yingbu turned to look at Eleven of the Wolf Guard.
