Zuo Mengeng lost the camp on the south bank and retreated to Anqing in the north of the Yangtze River, and the supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops on the south bank were almost all in the hands of Huang's gong.

Hundreds of thousands of defeated troops left behind weapons and armor, even more countless, as well as more than 40,000 captured elites of the left army, these are all wealth and resources, any town gains, will double the strength.

Now Liu Liangzuo proposed to distribute these materials, which immediately changed the atmosphere in the hall, and all the generals looked at Huang Degong's table.

Wang Yan actually doesn't take the war horse in his hand seriously.

The cavalry is difficult to maintain, the cost is huge, and the thousand cavalry in the battalion has already made him feel pressure, and no matter how many five hundred war horses are there, the whole camp of the Zhongyi Battalion cannot be ridden, so Wang Yan is very willing to use war horses in exchange for other benefits, but Huang Degong is the commander, and he controls the vast majority of the spoils, he does not speak, Wang Yan naturally cannot open his mouth.

At this time, Huang Degong's face changed for a while, he was not willing to share the materials in his hand with everyone, but Liu Liangzuo had 40,000 soldiers and horses in Chizhou City, and if he lived a dirty life, he would lose more than he gained.

At that moment, he couldn't help but weigh it in his heart, and finally decided to compromise.

"What Guangchangbo said is very true, the materials obtained in this battle are the distribution of credit for An'an, so as to reflect the selflessness of the Marquis and the clear rewards and punishments." Huang Degong's face was full of pride, and then his voice changed and continued: "Even if it is the distribution of Angong, what is the merit, and how much merit, there must be a standard, according to Benhou's view, it will be calculated according to the number of beheadings and captured enemies of each department, what do you think?" ”

Today's battle, mainly concentrated in Xicheng, on the killing of the head of the left army, naturally no one can compare with Huang Degong's army, and in the process of pursuit, the Ming army in Xicheng also has an advantage.

In this way, Liu Liangzuo's subordinates did not have many military exploits at all.

Hearing Huang Degong's words, Liu Liangzuo's face couldn't help but change, and he was about to open his mouth to fight again, but Huang Degong waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and then said to Wang Yan: "The war horse obtained by General Wang's department must be handed over to Benhou!" Of course, for you and others to defeat Zuo Menggeng's personal guards and cut down the handsome banner, Ben Hou will give you another big achievement. ”

In this battle, Wang Yan's loyal battalion turned the tide of the battle, which can be described as a great achievement, if he did not object, the other generals naturally had nothing to say.

Wang Yan knew that it was Huang Degong who made him express his position, but this would inevitably offend Liu Liangzuo, and he couldn't help but weigh it in his heart.

Wang Yan and Liu Liangzuo did not have any intersection, and the other party offered to share the war horse in his hand, so he naturally did not have to consider Liu Liangzuo's idea, and Huang Degong promised to make another credit for him, and he could exchange the war horse for the materials in Huang Degong's hands, so why not. "Hou Ye is the commander, and the last general will naturally obey Hou Ye's orders, and will drive the war horse into the city tomorrow."

Liu Liangzuo lifted a stone to hit himself in the foot, he heard that Wang Yan should go, and immediately glared angrily, but the matter has come to this point, and he can't say it anymore, after all, he doesn't dare to turn his face against Huang Degong.

He can now divide a little bit into a little bit, in case he annoys Huang Degong, and the last point is not divided against him, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"That's great!" Wang Yan's performance made Huang Degong very satisfied, and he promised at the moment: "Benhou will promote General Wang as a general, and the establishment of the Zhongyi Battalion will be completed by Benhou, and 3,000 strong will be selected from the captives, and a battalion of men and horses will be enough. ”

"The last general thanked the Hou Ye for his promotion!" Wang Yan didn't expect his overture to be in return in return, so he immediately left the table and thanked him.

"General Wang doesn't have to be polite, this is what you deserve." Huang Degong helped Wang Yan, who was kneeling on one knee, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you can select your subordinates first, and by the way, you will report today's beheading to Benhou, and other material rewards will be distributed to you after the army is counted." ”

Liu Liangzuo on the side listened, and his face couldn't help but look difficult again, Wang Yan was a small garrison, and he got 3,000 prisoners and official positions, not counting, and he had to be beheaded to distribute the materials, so wouldn't he get one less share.

What's even more infuriating is that he guarded the north city and the east city, the battle was not fierce, there were not many leaders of the left army, and in the end it may not be as much as Wang Yan, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

The general staff in the hall were naturally unhappy when they saw that Wang Yan had been rewarded.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Yan left Li Taizhen in the camp, and then took Wang Wei and Liu Shun, led a hundred soldiers, and drove 500 war horses into Chizhou City.

Huang Degong's subordinate general, Tian Xiong, was very covetous of the horses, so he came early when he heard the news. Wang Yan handed over the war horse to him, completed the handover documents, and went with him to the camp where the prisoners were held to select soldiers.

In yesterday's battle, the left army was captured more than 40,000 people and was locked up in several large camps in the city.

They passed through the guards and came to the camp of the prisoners, and Wang Yan saw that there were men and women, old and young in the camp, and he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Tian Xiong with some annoyance.

"I will bring the place, you can choose at will!" In the face of Wang Yande's anger, Tian Xiong was very complacent, and he looked at everyone with great indifference.

Wang Yan didn't understand where he saw this, Tian Xiong did it on purpose, and Liu Shun beside him was about to get angry, but was pulled by Wang Yan.

The left army is known as 800,000, except for the 200,000 real elites, the rest are just like the situation in the camp at this time, mostly old and weak women and children who have been coerced.

In yesterday's battle, the elite of the left army captured a lot, but when they broke through the camp on the south bank, they also captured many such old and weak women and children.

Wang Yan was very unhappy with Tian Xiong's provocation, but he didn't want to turn his face against him. The reason is very simple, for Huang Degong, he is an outsider after all, even if Wang Yan sues him, there will be no good results.

Wang Yan also has his own ideas about the selection of soldiers, he is actually not very optimistic about the so-called elite of the left army.

When Zuo Liangyu's army set out from Wuchang, it slaughtered Wuchang, and then occupied Jiujiang and burned and looted.

The left army relied on burning, killing and looting to maintain the combat strength of the army, but Wang Yan's army paid attention to military discipline and strictly forbade the slaughter of the people.

At this time, the old and weak in the battalion, although the combat strength is not good, but Wang Yan can train, as long as there is time, he believes that he can train a good army.

"Good! Ben will be picked in this camp! After Wang Yan thought about it, he cut the road with iron.

Tian Xiong was not afraid that Wang Yan would make things bigger, he even expected Wang Yan to make things bigger, but he didn't expect Wang Yan to endure it, so he was even more reluctant in his heart, "In this case, you can choose at will!" Haha??"

After Tian Xiong finished speaking, he laughed and turned to leave, Wang Wei, Liu Shun and others immediately surrounded him and complained to Wang Yan: "General! How can you promise to come down! ”

"Oh~" Tianxiong, who had just walked a short distance, heard this, then turned around again and smiled evilly: "That's right! Ben will see that you know the current affairs so well, so I will send you a favor, as long as you pick the right person, if you have a family, Ben will give it to you for nothing, how, haha??"
