Lin Shihong decided to establish the state of Chu, proclaimed himself emperor, and named the era "Taiping". Take this year, that is, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, as the first year of "Taiping". Of course, when he was preparing to ascend the throne, he did not forget to pursue Li Ba, who was pursuing the Sui Dynasty army. Since Li Bao sent back several messages, he told that he had caught up with a routed army, and the number was not large, only more than 2,000 people. However, for several days there was no more news. Lin Shihong didn't feel good, could it be that Li Ba's more than 10,000 troops would be wiped out by the 2,000 Sui army?

Although he felt that it was somewhat unlikely that his more than 10,000 people would be wiped out by 2,000 enemy troops, he still appointed Wang Rong as the chief and led 15,000 troops to support.

Lin Shihong dispatched troops and continued to increase troops. Lu Chang had already made preparations here, and he withdrew most of his troops to the big camp for training, leaving only the elite troops of the original Xiaoguo Army to prepare for battle.

It stands to reason that it is not a problem for Lu Chang to have such a strong army to eliminate Lin Shihong, but Lu Chang has his own plans, he does not want to eliminate Lin Shihong immediately, but uses Lin Shihong's rebel army as an excuse to stay in Yuzhang. Lu Chang didn't plan to return to Jiangdu City, he wanted to stay here and not leave.

Lu Chang knew that when he returned to Jiangdu, he would definitely not have his own good fruits to eat, and he might fall into trouble if he was not careful. Since the soldiers and horses in the hands of Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, would not be sent out, as long as the war continued here, he would definitely let Lu Chang continue to be in front.

Others can't see the shape of the future clearly, Lu Chang knows! Yang Guang's life is only more than a year, which is the reason why Lu Chang resolutely will not go to Jiangducheng.

In addition to Lin Shihong's rebel army, the next step, Xiao Mo will start up next year. These two groups of rebels were enough for Lu Chang to drag on for a year and a half, and then the Great Sui Dynasty would be over.

This is Lu Chang's abacus, he wants to develop and grow in the land south of the Yangtze River.

The first war was over, and it was a victory, and Lu Chang certainly couldn't forget to report his merits to Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor of Jiangdu. Lu Chang asked the civilian official Cao Minghui to write a good report, starting with the defeat of the Xiaoguo army, and then truthfully reporting the battle.

The southern army led by Lu Changsuo killed nearly 10,000 enemies with 5,000 men and horses, and his feats were indeed not small. However, Lu Chang did not mention the matter of the prisoners, nor did he mention the remnants of the Xiaoguo Army, but emphasized that the strength of the Southern Army was too weak, lacking grain, grass, war horses, weapons and equipment, and it was bitter anyway.

Finally, Lu Chang also told Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui that it was reported that the thief leader Lin Shihong wanted to establish a country, called "Chu", and the army was developing very rapidly, and I am afraid that it would be nearly 100,000 horses in the near future. I have too few soldiers and horses here, and I am struggling to resist, and I really have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

The good news has been sent to Jiangdu, as for what the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang thinks, that is his business. However, Lu Chang is not without Yiyin, how can Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, have something to say, right? It's okay to give some food and grass equipment or something, and it's better than nothing.

Anyway, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, is about to finish, don't be in vain.

With his own team, Lu Chang's confidence is extremely inflated, Nima, Lao Tzu finally has some strength. You can't come to this life without doing anything, right?

This is also forced to be helpless, who let us travel through the troubled times? Now that the world is in chaos, if you want to survive, you must fight, otherwise there is no way to live. Since you have to take this path, let's fight to break through. Now Li Er hasn't made a big move yet, and our conditions are not as good as his, but we can take a step first, which is also what it is!

Why do you have to let the mixed-race son of the Li family sit in the country, this great country and Lao Tzu also have to fight, of course, it is better to take the emperor's throne.

There is a way to live in troubled times, lawlessness! Well, one word is grab! is not only to rob beauties, but also to rob wealth, and even Lu Chang, the emperor's throne, wants to rob him. It's not bad to grab a country and sit down, in that case, every qiē of the Great Sui Dynasty is mine......

This guy Yiyin didn't forget to do his job, he didn't forget the promise he made, and Lu Chang summoned all the officers and soldiers to give a lecture.

The Xiaoguo army wounded in this battle was placed in the front, and the entire army was behind. This lecture is mainly to say to Lu Chang what he said last time, after the war, the wounded soldiers are often the objects of abandonment, and Lu Chang will not do this.

"Soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, we have finally achieved victory. Remember what I said last time? As I said, I want to fight a bloody road, and lead you to a road to prosperity.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and the final result is still far away, but there are some things that can be done first. For example, these wounded soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, what should they do? Do you want to discard it? No, never, I will not leave any of you behind.

Although you can no longer go to war, you are still part of our army. In the future, you can do what you can, for example, to form a city guard in this surrounding county, to maintain law and order, to maintain peace and security, and to eliminate some small groups of bandits if conditions permit.

At the same time, it can also recruit and train for the army, and provide soldiers for the army. You can do a lot of things, in a word, you have been promoted.

Of course, if anyone dares to harm the people and bend the law for bribes, the military discipline of the army will not let you go.

Don't forget that you are still a member of the army, and don't disgrace this army. You were once a brave and resolute army, and you will always remember that. Long live the Fruit Army! ”

Lu Chang's words were very sensational, which made the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army below extremely excited, and even those prisoners who had just joined the army were moved. The excited soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army shouted in unison: "Long live the Xiaoguo Army!" ”

The wounded soldiers on the field shed tears of excitement, and before that, they were worried about their future fate, but in the blink of an eye, they heard such good news, can they not be excited?

Lu Chang's commitment to keep the promise made these people very moved, there are not many troops in this era who can do this, and Lu Chang has won the loyalty and trust of these soldiers according to this.

These army soldiers all participated in the registration, and if they died in battle, as long as their families were alive and Lu Chang's army still existed, they would take care of their families.

To this end, Lu Chang has formulated some systems.

For example, soldiers who died in battle will have their children raised until they are fifteen years old. If there are parents, the army will provide a certain allowance to make their lives better.

In short, Lu Chang wanted these soldiers to have no worries.

Don't say that there is, you probably haven't even heard of such an army, let alone seen or experienced it.

And now, they are in such an army all the time, can these soldiers be disloyal?

If Lu Chang wants to build a strong army, he must pay something. In other words, this guy is bribing the hearts of these soldiers, and then fighting for him to dominate the world.

Regardless of Lu Chang's motives, at least for now, it has achieved great results. The original elite of the Xiaoguo Army, and the current main force of the Southern Army, can be ordered and prohibited in terms of military discipline and training, and their mental outlook has taken on a new look.

Lu Chang's methods are clever and successful, at least for now.

Of course, for this commitment, Lu Chang may spend a lot of money in the future. Lu Chang is not worried about this, he has a way to make money.

It's just that Yiqiē has just begun, Lu Chang is still in its infancy, and it's a bit too early to talk about this.

It should be said that Lu Chang is very forbearing, and he has waited until now to make a move, and he has more than 30,000 troops in his hands as soon as he makes a move, and there are 10,000 elite troops among them.
