Chapter 1591: Acquisition of Liangshan

For those Liangshan generals who surrendered, Li Jing did not trust all of them, so he let Chao Gai and Shi Jin, who took the initiative to take refuge and could be absolutely trusted, to take charge of the army.

Of course, among the generals in charge of the military power, if there is not a single general of Liangshan, wouldn't it be clear that Li Jing does not trust the general?

Therefore, Li Jing chose the relatively more reliable Lu Junyi from the general, after all, compared with a good man like Lu Zhishen, Lu Junyi, who was born in a family, should take loyalty more seriously.

Chao Gai and Lu Junyi already smashed Liangshan with a very high prestige, and after they took charge of the surrender army, the Liangshan surrender army really quickly settled down, and the sense of belonging to the Qin army was increased, and it may not be able to recover to its peak state for the time being, but it is no problem to participate in the defense of the city.

The war was imminent, and in order to make Liangshan's surrendered army return to his heart as soon as possible, Li Jing also decided to give them the same treatment as the regular army, and it was this decision that made the 23,000 surrendered troops completely return to their hearts.

The treatment of the regular army of the Qin army can be called the most after all the princes, as long as they are soldiers, they will have military salaries, they will also distribute land to their families, and enjoy a series of tax-free benefits, and they will have a generous pension in case of death in battle, which is what many people want but can't get in troubled times.

Therefore, whenever the Qin army issued a conscription notice, people from all over the country gathered to respond, but the quota was always in short supply, after all, the establishment of the Qin army was limited.

As for Beihai County, since Li Jing arrived, he has only issued a conscription announcement, but only 10,000 people have been selected from 100,000 strong men to enlist in the army.

The Liangshan army naturally knew this, so it was also more grateful to Li Jing, and more actively and actively cooperated with the reorganization of Chao Gai, Lu Junyi and other generals.

The reorganization of the Liangshan army was in full swing, and Wang Mang, who arrived in Liang, had already received the news that Song Jiang had died in battle and that the main force of the Liangshan army was almost wiped out.

After learning the news, Wang Mang was suddenly furious, and scolded: "Waste, Song Gongming, no, Liang Shanbo, it's just a bunch of waste." ”

Wang Mang had long expected that Song Jiang was not Li Jing's opponent, but he didn't expect Song Jiang to be so useless, and the troops in his hands were not less than those of the Qin army, but he didn't even hold out for half a month, and Li Jing was easily defeated almost like a joke.

The various serial strategies used by Li Jing are actually not clever in Wang Mang's opinion, and it is impossible for the United States and Europe to have any flaws in such a long chain of strategies, but none of the high-level leaders in Liangshan, including the military advisor Wu Yong, saw it, and they were all played by Li Jing, and finally took the initiative to jump into the trap carefully woven by Li Jing.

In this regard, Wang Mang didn't know what to say, was Li Jing too smart? Or are the people of Liangshan too stupid?

Wang Mang has absolute self-confidence, if Li Jing uses such a strategy against himself, he will definitely not fall for the trick, but will also specify a strategy to turn defeat into victory.

Wang Mang didn't know that Li Jing was dealing with Song Jiang, who was not strategic, so he dared to use such an almost rampant show of wit, because he was confident that even if his strategy was flawed, Song Jiang and Wu Yong would not be able to find it.

But if the opponent is replaced by Wang Mang, Li Jing will naturally not use a strategy with obvious flaws, and he will definitely go through a closer layout and will definitely not let Wang Mang find out that he is implementing

Below, Song Yu and Wu Yong saw Wang Mang commenting on Song Jiang and Liang Shan, and their faces also became extremely bad, but they didn't dare to attack, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the 40,000 elites brought by Wang Mang were their last saviors.

"Prime Minister Wang, although the lord is dead, except for King Liang, he must be inherited by someone as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Wu Yong pointed to Song Yu and continued: "The younger brother of my lord, Song Yu, both civil and military, do you think you can inherit the throne of King Liang?" ”

Hearing Wu Yong's words, a hint of playfulness flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, and he sneered: "There are less than 10,000 left in the Liangshan army, what else is there to stabilize?" Besides, how did the position of King Song Jiangliang come about, didn't you two force it in your hearts? Want to pass it on? Is it just this 7,000 army? ”

Hearing Wang Mang say this, Wu Yong and Song Yu's faces suddenly changed greatly, Wang Mang is not going to recognize the position of King Liang.

Song Yuqiang endured the indignation in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Prime Minister Wang, the prince of my brother, after all, is sealed by His Majesty, and it is recognized by the imperial court. ”

"Hehe......"

Wang Mang smiled disdainfully and said: "Your Majesty is crowned by Song Jiang, and it was not said when you canonized that the prince of Song Jiang can be hereditary.

Besides, even if the prime minister agrees to let Song Yu inherit Song Jiang's position as King of Liang, do you really think Song Yu can sit firmly in this position? ”

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Song Yu, even Wu Yong had nothing to say.

Song Jiang was able to become the king of Liang, mainly by relying on the 40,000 army in his hands, and now that Song Yu only has 7,000 left in his hands, it is naturally impossible to want the prince, after all, the prince is far more than this price.

In short, in a word, Song Yu can't become the king of Liang.

"Although the throne of King Liang cannot be inherited by Song Yu, Song Yu can continue to make contributions to the imperial court, as long as you can make a great enough contribution to the imperial court, the prime minister will personally ask for the title for you in the future."

As he spoke, Wang Mang patted Song Yu on the shoulder and said with a light smile: "In the future, Liang Shanjun will listen to and use it under the command of Benxiang." ”

Song Yu glanced at Wu Yong, saw that the other party nodded solemnly at him, and understood in his heart that Wang Mang was determined to absorb Liangshan, and if he refused, he was afraid that he would die violently in a few days.

Song Yuqiang endured the grievances in his heart and said with a wry smile: "Song Yu thanks Prime Minister Wang." ”

Looking at Song Yu and Wu Yong with a deferential face, Wang Mang showed a happy smile, Li Jing's heavy damage to the main force of Liangshan was not unfavorable to him, at least if Song Jiang was still alive, he would definitely not be able to absorb the Liangshan army so easily.

Not long after Song Yu and Wu walked with their front feet, Zhou Yafu and Xun Yu came to the door together in a menacing manner, because they received the news that the remnants of Liangshan had been invested under Wang Mang's command.

Zhou Yafu and Xun Yu are both Liu Che's henchmen, so it is naturally impossible to watch Wang Mang continue to pull the tiger skin of the Northern Han Dynasty to strengthen themselves, but they never thought that Wang Mang would not be able to enter the oil and salt, and they were sent away in three or two sentences.

"Prime Minister Wang, don't forget, you are still the right minister of my big man." Zhou Yafu said meaningfully.

"General Zhou rest assured, he will never forget his true appearance." Wang Mang said.

Zhou Yafu had nothing to say, so he turned his head and left, and the moment he walked out of the door, a cold light flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by him.

Chen Qingzhi walked out from behind the screen and said, "Lord, now is not the time for infighting. ”

"I know."

Hearing this, Chen Qing's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said: "Lord, Song Jiang died in battle, the main force of the Liangshan army was almost completely wiped out, and now there are only seven remnants left.

The 80,000 troops that were expected to be dispatched before the war are now less than 50,000, and it may be difficult to get rid of Li Jing. ”

"The State of Qi dispatched 70,000 troops this time, plus our 50,000, a total of nearly 130,000 troops, and Li Jing only has 40,000 Qin troops in his hands, and the strength of our army is three times that of the ground, can't we still capture Beihai?"

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."

Chen Qingzhi's words immediately reminded Wang Mang that he had finally saved up a little bit of his family, but he couldn't just spend it on siege warfare.

"The prime minister wrote a letter to Yuan Shao for help, he recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers and horses on the Bohai Sea, although the new recruits are not strong, but the most cannon fodder is more than enough."

As for whether Yuan Shao will refuse? Wang Mang is not worried about this at all.

Li Jing has become a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the Hebei princes, and if he is not completely eliminated from Qingzhou, all the warring states obtained by the coalition forces in Hebei will be meaningless.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy Yuan Shao was in his heart, he could only send soldiers and horses to help Wang Mang first, and then return to Jizhou after completely pacifying Qingzhou.
