Chapter 102: Sima Yu in action
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
Outside Hexing Town, a building of camps stands in the wind, and the horns in the camp are camped, and the cry is shocking.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the heat wave like smoke continued to roll. On the school field in the center of the camp, rows of soldiers in iron armor were constantly drilling, and sweat the size of beans continued to drip down their foreheads.
On the point general platform at the front of the school field, Liu Shiyu, who was covered in sweat and shirtless, was leading the battle on the point general platform.
Stab, sweep, pick, one move and one style are all powerful, with a solemn expression.
With the collective service of the entire Wujian County, Sima Yu recruited as many as 80,000 troops, selected 60,000 strong men, and the others were dismissed and returned to their hometowns.
In order to manage these surrendered troops, Sima Yu also specially recruited Xiang Chong, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Cang, and together with Liu Shiyu, they were also captains, each set up a battalion, and commanded 60,000 surrendered troops.
As the first group of generals to follow Sima Yu, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang can be said to have worked hard and made a lot of achievements in the rise of the Yangwu Army.
Although his ability is not outstanding except for force, he has also decided to be able to be a battalion captain.
Xiang Chong is a potential young general that Sima Yu focuses on cultivating, and his art of war and martial arts are all good, and he also deserves the position of captain of a battalion.
At present, this big camp is where the army of the unified battalion under Liu Shiyu is located, and Xiang Chong, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao are stationed in Xianlong Town, Wanggu Town, and Xiaoguan.
"Wow~"
"Wow~"
On the bank of the Changxi River, not far from the camp of the army, huge cargo ships are constantly shuttling on the river, loaded with all kinds of ordnance, grain and grass, timber, stone and other materials, unloaded on the shore and transported to Hexing Town through a steady stream of horse-drawn wagons.
"Lord, this is already the last batch of ships, and all the materials hoarded outside Fengning Town will all arrive in Hexing Town today!"
In a shady place near the edge of the river bank at the gate of the camp, Sima Yu and dozens of others stood under the trees, looking at the boats coming and going on the river, Miao Wenyu reported to Sima Yu in a low voice.
The former Hexing Town Guard, who first surrendered to the Yangwu Army, is now in Wujian County, and is mainly responsible for managing the logistics and operation of the Yangwu Army in the entire Wujian County.
According to the consistent tradition of the Yangwu army, every time a piece of land is taken, local laborers must be requisitioned to build roads and expand the city, which can improve the transportation network and town defense in the newly occupied area, increase the income of the people in the area, and prevent the people from being idle and disorderly.
Therefore, after taking Wujian County, Sima Yu immediately issued an order to Zhang Qicai to build roads and expand the city.
More than 50,000 laborers from all of Gokama Prefecture were mobilized, and the newly planned road network and city defense were all activated.
Coupled with the addition of 60,000 troops, the demand for timber, stone, grain and other materials in the five prefectures suddenly became tense.
In order to meet the needs of the development of the five counties and avoid people's eyes, Sima Yu made a special trip to Fengning Town five days ago. In a large open area near the river bank in Fengning Town, 30 people's livelihood tripods were opened one after another by using the national treasury system, and 2.52 million units of timber, stone and 500,000 stone of grain were obtained at once.
The timber, stone and grain were enough to meet the needs of the five prefectures and the Yangwu army in a short period of time.
At the same time, because most of the soldiers under the command of Yuan Sun Kewang were poorly equipped, in order to improve the combat power of the newly surrendered 60,000 troops, Sima Yu also directly opened 10 ancient weapons, and obtained 110,000 sets of rebellious armor made of fine iron, as well as elite weapons such as broad-edged swords, spears, and assault crossbows that can equip 120,000 troops, and 100,000 arrows.
All these supplies and ordnance were piled up outside Fengning Town, and 180 cargo ships were running for four days before they were about to be delivered.
"Yes, it can be so efficient, thanks to Wen Yu's command and dispatch on the right!"
Sima Yu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said in appreciation.
Such a large amount of materials can be mobilized in such a short period of time, Miao Wenyu's command and coordination ability is indeed not weak, he is a rare talent, in the past, he was only a small town guard under Sun Kewang, and he is indeed condescending.
"The lord praises it!"
Miao Wenyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said humbly.
"Wen Yu doesn't have to be too humble, Erlang, is there any news about Li Mu and Yue Xi?"
Sima Yu smiled softly, and then asked Wu Song on the side.
This time, the entire army of the expedition to the west was only four battalions: the Guoyi Army, the Changfeng Battalion, the Xiaocai Battalion, and the Feiyu Battalion, with a total of 35,000 people.
Now that Wujian County has been taken, most of the soldiers in Bai Wenxuan's army have surrendered, and only less than 20,000 people are trapped outside Wanggu Town, plus the soldiers of various towns and counties, even after he surrendered to Sima Yu, the surrender of troops reached 60,000.
The number of surrendered troops is almost twice that of the Yangwu army, and such a large number of surrendered troops do not have enough strength to suppress and are very prone to rebellion.
In addition, the civil strife in Baiyun City caused the Qin Wangfu under Sun Kewang to collapse completely, and the local forces no longer respected Sun Kewang's orders and went their own way.
Even Sun Kewang himself is now under the control of Cao Hanzhi, and thousands of people have to be trapped in the dilapidated Baiyun City.
Under such circumstances, Sima Yu had to send troops to the four counties as soon as possible before the other forces in the remaining four counties were merged with each other, so as not to steal the results of the battle by others.
Therefore, in the face of the newly acquired land that needs to be stabilized, and the remaining four counties must be sent to send troops, the 35,000 Yangwu troops hoarded in the five county towns are obviously no longer enough, so Sima Yu once again recruited Li Mu, the captain of the Wu'an Battalion in Zhongba County, to lead the 9,000 army, and the captain of the Guards Battalion, Yue Xi, to lead the 10,000 Guards Battalion to help.
"Back to the lord, Captain Li Mu and they have entered the middle of the Changxi River, and they are expected to arrive in Hexing Town at noon tomorrow, and Captain Yuexi is a little slower, and they are expected to arrive in Hexing Town in the early morning of the day after tomorrow!" Wu Song immediately replied loudly when he heard this.
As the commander of the Zuo Du, the pro-guard army beside Sima Yu, Wu Song also served as an intelligence officer beside him during the war, and could command a group of accompanying Jinyi guards.
"Good! Time is running out right now! As soon as the Wu'an camp arrives tomorrow, you can send an order to Long Wei and Zhao Yun to send troops to Bai Wen to select the army! Before setting out on the expedition, we have to solve this scabies disease first! Also, send someone to immediately send an order to Yuan Zhi, ordering him to stop the attack quickly, send an envoy to Feng Shuangli, and persuade him to surrender! Sima Yu's frowning brows loosened slightly when he heard this, and he said softly.
September has ended, nearly half a month, the counties and towns around Wujian County have gradually integrated into the Yangwu Army system, except for Bai Wenxuan's more than 10,000 remnants of the army, all parts of Wujian County have been under the control of the Yangwu Army.
During this period of time, Sima Yu has always ignored him.
Now that Goken Prefecture has gradually stabilized and the military preparations have been completed, it is time for the remnants of the Baiwen Army to take action.
At the same time, with the collapse of Sun Kewang's Qin Palace, the defenders of Feng Shuangli's department in Bajiaogou no longer have a large rear that can be stably supported.
After all, now the Yangwu Army in the entire Yongzhou territory is the most powerful force, and the Qin Wangfu under the command of Sun Kewang was defeated and collapsed in just one month, and surrendering the Yangwu Army is the best way out.
"Whoa!"
Wu Song quickly received the order, and went down to order the men to go and convey the order.
On October 3, the second year of the Great Controversy, Hexing Town, Xianlong Town, and Wanggu Town came out together, and the goal was directly aimed at Bai Wenxuan.
