Chapter 181 What the hell is Wang Li taking Xinping?
"Break fast, defend firmly!"
Looking at the questioning expressions on his son and grandson's faces, Wang Jian touched his chin which had not yet grown a beard in vain, and said in a deep voice, "None of the three counties of Anding, Xinping and Fufeng are occupied by strong forces, and the nominal county guards are just
They were elected by powerful clans from various places on their own, but their military strength was always limited, and they were all family soldiers within the clan or newly recruited county soldiers, so their combat effectiveness was weak.
So this time our strategy to win the three counties is just one word, quick! We must use lightning speed to quickly pacify the three counties, integrate our forces, stabilize the people's hearts, and then concentrate our military forces here to prevent possible attacks.
The army of Chang'an and Xiliang!"
"Yi?" Looking at the place that Wang Jian pointed on the map with his finger, Wang Ben and Wang Li recalled his location and terrain in their minds at the same time. Their eyes lit up and they said at the same time, "Father is wise! This is indeed the most suitable place.
."
"Today's Xiliang Army, since Dong Zhuo and Li Ru passed away one after another, and Lu Fengxian, known as the best general in the world, betrayed and left with the Bingzhou Army, its strength is no longer what it used to be.
Although it still retains a certain strength with the support of Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others, it is definitely not as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that once swept the world.
Even with the establishment of 300,000 people, it is considered good to have 100,000 soldiers now. According to the intelligence, among them, the only ones who can maintain their former combat effectiveness are probably Li Jue and Guo Si's pro-army, and Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law Niu.
Of the Flying Bear Army controlled by Fu, only Zhonglang General Xu Rong and the soldiers and horses under Zhang Ji could be pulled out for a fight.
Therefore, as long as we can capture the three counties as quickly as possible, then concentrate our forces and garrison troops in Xi, with its unique terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as the transportation artery from Chang'an to Xiliang, it will be enough to easily block the attack from Chang'an.
The pressure!" Seeing the two people's understanding, Wang Jian nodded and continued.
"It all depends on father's orders!" Wang Ben and Wang Li were too lazy to think this time and nodded directly to Wang Jian with a smile on his face.
"Promising!" Seeing the two of them acting like this, Wang Jian snorted coldly. Looking at the two people, whose smiles froze and looked confused, they said in a deep voice, "Is the Wang family supported by me alone? You are also alive.
A general who has stood alone in two lifetimes, when it's time to show off his abilities, don't let me be a submissive person from behind! That's not the style of a descendant of my Wang family."
After scolding, Wang Jian continued with a cold face, "Since we want to be quick, then the three of us will attack at the same time this time. Bi'er, you lead five thousand elites to Fufeng County. After taking it, first calm the people's hearts, and then integrate the strength to directly attack."
Head to Xi!
Remember, after all, Fufeng is still the territory of the Xiliang Army. If Chang'an is already prepared, then you can act according to the situation and win the best if you can. If you can't win, then go to Yi first, or wait for the two of us.
Let’s talk about it after we meet with the leaders.”
"No!" Wang Ben quickly bowed and responded.
"Get up!" Seeing Wang Ben's respectful attitude, Wang Jian said lightly, and then looked at Wang Li on the side, a trace of softness flashed in his eyes.
After all, he is his grandson. The so-called skipped-generation relationship is a thing that can be considered in any era. He immediately said softly, "Li'er, Xinping County will be handed over to you. After taking it, it will be the same. First, calm the people's hearts, and then
Integrate our forces and head to Yi to meet up, do you understand?"
"No!" Although Wang Jian's voice became much calmer, Wang Li still did not dare to neglect his grandfather because of his fear since he was a child, and he responded respectfully immediately.
"Okay, let's all go down and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will lead the troops and set off at the same time!" Due to his personality, Wang Jian didn't say anything else and simply dismissed the two of them. Then he closed his eyes again and silently calculated and planned.
The next day, the morning light showed slightly, and the army, which had eaten early, dispersed under the leadership of three people, and galloped towards their respective goals.
When Wang Li led five thousand elites to Xinping City without any obstruction, he immediately looked confused.
Along the way, he had doubts, guesses, and even wondered whether the Xinping County Sheriff had contacted the Xiliang Army, thus increasing his strength and setting up some kind of ambush ahead.
Therefore, Wang Li sent out sentries to guard against possible attacks and ambushes along the way, but the fact was that he arrived at the city gate unimpeded, looking at the wide open city gate in front of him, and at the city gate.
The group of people waiting respectfully in front of him were silent.
"The Prime Minister of Xinping County brings the entire county's civil and military forces to meet the general!" Looking at the neat lineup of five thousand elites in front of him, the Prime Minister of Xinping County suppressed the anger and fear in his heart, pretended to be calm, walked forward, and shouted respectfully.
"Jun Cheng?" Wang Li had already understood at this time that there were no other forces occupying Xinping County. As a small county, there were not many powerful families in the county. Under such circumstances, after hearing that he had defeated Han Sui, the half-lord of Liangzhou,
When the army under Ying Zige came, it was not unacceptable to simply give up resistance and surrender.
But only Jun Cheng?
Thinking of this, Wang Li rode forward and asked in a solemn voice, "Jun Cheng? What about your county guard?"
"Report to the general! The county governor He Wen heard that the general led the army to Xinping, but he abandoned the people of the county and all the civil and military personnel and took their families away from the city. Therefore, there is no county guard in Xinping County today!"
Xinping County Magistrate looked at Wang Li who looked downcast in front of him, and quickly explained. While explaining, he regretted, "I would have known that I would also leave. Although this general's tone is calm, his expression looks fierce. Will he take advantage of me?"
leak!"
"You are a son of a man in vain!" Wang Li snorted coldly when he heard the news that the Xinping County Governor had left. As a general in the army, especially a general who faced the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty in his previous life, Wang Li was very concerned about officials who fled directly in the face of powerful enemies.
Extremely disgusted, and by the way, Xinping Juncheng, who was obviously frightened by the person in front of him, but still managed to organize things in the county, and led the soldiers to surrender, had a good impression, his expression softened, and he said softly, "What is your name?"
"General, my surname is Li, and my name is a good word!" Xinping County Magistrate could naturally feel Wang Liping's calm expression, and the heart that had been hanging in his heart slowly relaxed a little, but he still did not dare to neglect it.
, bowed respectfully and replied.
"Li Liang? That's right! From today on, you will temporarily serve as the governor of Xinping County and help the general handle the affairs in the city. After my army pacifies Liangzhou, if you do well, I will personally invite you, my lord, to
You might as well continue to hold the position when the time comes, how about it?" With a faint smile, Wang Li jumped off his horse, patted Li Liang's shoulder gently and said.
"Ah?" Maybe the happiness came too suddenly. Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he responded with a happy face, "General, don't worry, I will certainly live up to everyone's expectations."
"Okay! When we enter the city, let me first sort out the soldiers and supplies in the city!" After the arrangements were completed, Wang Li put away his smile and walked towards the city with a group of soldiers at the same time.
Calculating supplies, dividing and recruiting soldiers, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The entire Xinping County was so quiet, and even came under the command of Ying Zige with a bit of drama.
