Chapter 158: Return to Huainan
With the addition of Tai Shici, Jin Fan's command has been called a strong general, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zhang Xiu, Le Jin, Hao Zhao, etc., which one is not a first-class general with both civil and military skills? In this regard, among the princes in the world, Cao Cao is the only one who can compete with Jinfan, as for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the former has been hollowed out by Jinfan, and the latter is currently only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi, the three generals who can handle it, as for Zhao Yun, they have not yet taken refuge in Liu Bei at this time.
In addition to the generals, the Wenchen under the command of Jin Fan is also not far behind, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Lu Su, these three are the top strategists, and the rest of Zhuge Jin, Bu Qi, Lu Dai and others are also rare powers of governing the world, and today's Jinfan, no matter from which point of view, is enough to be called a talent pool.
Not long after Tai Shici left the big tent, Wang Chong sent someone to call Jia Xu again.
Jia Xu obviously knew Wang Chong's intention to call him over, so as soon as he entered the big tent, he immediately said to Wang Chong: "Jia Xu has seen the lord!" ”
Wang Chong couldn't help laughing: "Wenhe, you are so active this time, but you have made all the rhetoric I prepared before useless!" ”
Jia Xu smiled: "The lord is serious, Xu is not a stubborn person, since the lord has won the agreement, why should he take the initiative to speak again?" ”
Wang Chong smiled when he heard this: "Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes, Yan Zicheng will not deceive me!" ”
At the same time, Wang Chong secretly checked Jia Xu's loyalty with a snooping eye, 74 points, good, not too high, but not low, at least to prove that he joined Jinfan this time and did not have two intentions.
Jia Xu said humbly: "The lord praises falsely! ”
Wang Chong cut to the chase and said: "Wenhe, those who can work hard, now I Huainan is in ruins, I intend to make you engaged in sacrificial wine, but the long of the engagement, I don't know what you think?" ”
The position given by Wang Chong is extremely powerful, but Jia Xu, who has already experienced strong winds and waves, did not show much surprise, after all, the reason why Jinfan can develop into such a scale in such a short period of time has a great relationship with Wang Chong's eclectic and meritocracy.
Jia Xu thanked him: "Thank you, lord!" ”
Jia Xu is very good at protecting himself, and has always followed the negative principle of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, he has outstanding ability, but he will never take the initiative to take responsibility outside of his duties, he is like a spinning top, if you don't pump him, he won't turn, so Wang Chong will give him such a heavy task at the beginning, the purpose is to prevent him from being too idle.
――――――――――――――――――
In the fourth year of Jian'an, on October 8, Wang Chong finally led the army back to Anhui City.
At present, the Jinfan army stationed in Anhui has reached 40,000.
Among them, there are 3,000 soldiers in the 'trapped camp', the commander is Hao Zhao, the commander of the trapped battle, and the 'Iron Guard Battalion' has 3,000 soldiers, and the commander is Wang Shuang, who has been named the captain of Xuantie by Wang Chong, and the deputy commander is Zhou Hu, but Wang Shuang is acting as Wang Chong's personal guard most of the time, so the usual drills of the 'Iron Guard Battalion' have always been Zhou Hu in charge, and in addition to the above two special troops, now there are 4,000 'cavalry battalions' under the command of Yang Wei Zhonglang General Tai Shici.
Of the remaining 30,000 troops, Lei Xu, the commander of Lujiang, led 5,000 soldiers to be responsible for the defense of the city, and the other 25,000 soldiers were managed by Zhou Tai, who was appointed by Wang Chong as the general of Zhonglang to destroy the Kou, and Jiang Qin, the captain of the military academy, and Wei Yan, the captain of Yangwu, were the deputy generals, and each had 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
40,000 in Wancheng, 25,000 in Wankou Port, 5,000 in Weixukou, 8,000 in Liyang, 5,000 in Hefei, 8,000 in Shouchun, plus the garrisons scattered in various counties, the total strength of Jinfan has been infinitely close to 100,000.
"Lord, you're back!"
As soon as Wang Chong returned to the General's Mansion, Lu Su rushed over in a hurry.
Wang Chong asked in surprise: "Zijing, isn't it that I left for a few days, what happened in Huainan?" ”
"Not really!" Lu Su shook his head and explained, "It's just that the envoy sent by the great general Yuan Shao has been waiting for the lord in Anhui City for seven whole days!" ”
"I see!" Wang Chong paused and smiled, "Does Yuan Shao hope that I can join forces with him to deal with Cao Cao?" ”
Lu Su nodded and said: "That's right, what the general Yuan Shao means is that as long as the lord can send troops from Huainan to respond when he starts a war with Cao Cao, he will play the son of heaven to worship the lord as the general of Zhengdong and the leader of Yangzhou, and his subordinates dare not make decisions on their own, so they have to invite the envoy to stay in Anhui City for a few days, and wait for the lord to come back and give him an answer!" ”
"General Zhengdong and leader of Yangzhou pastor? Do you want to be so coincidental? Wang Chong smiled speechlessly, Yuan Shao's conditions were exactly the same as Cao Cao's, but unfortunately, Wang Chong never thought of helping Yuan Shao, not to mention that Yuan Shao could give himself the official position, Cao Cao could also give it, in addition, Cao Cao also had Lejin's family in his hands, which also made Wang Chong have to choose to cooperate with Cao Cao, as for the 100,000 stone grain and grass...... Well, this is just Wang Chong's compensation to Cao Cao for that fire, after all, he didn't want Cao Cao to be defeated by Yuan Shao because he burned his grain and grass, so that he could not support it in Guandu.
Lu Su asked: "Lord, I don't know how to reply to my subordinates?" ”
Wang Chong thought for a while and said: "Let's refuse politely, just say that my Huainan has gone through years of war, and people are determined, and they are really unable to send troops, and with the strength of the general, they only need to go south with the momentum of whale swallowing, Cao Cao can't resist it, so why do I need Huainan to do this?" ”
"No!" Lu Su first responded, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "Lord, there is one more thing!" ”
"What?"
Lu Su took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Chong, and said with a smile: "It's a happy event!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows, opened the letter and saw that it was a wedding post, "Boyun wants to get married?" ”
"Yes, in three days!"
Wang Chong asked, "Who is the other party?" ”
"Daughter of Yuan Shu!"
Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'm afraid that Yuan Yao deliberately brokered this matter, right?" ”
Lu Su said with a smile: "The lord is wise, but the Yuan woman, Ge Wenwan, is virtuous and virtuous, and she is indeed a good match for Boyun!" ”
Wang Chong nodded thoughtfully: "As long as Bo Yun is satisfied!" ”
In this era, it is inevitable that there will be many political marriages, all of which rely on the orders of their parents, the words of matchmakers, and the like, there are very few things like each other, Wang Chong does not reject this, just like Bu Qi sent the foot trainer to the general's mansion, Wang Chong of course knew Bu Qi's intentions, but he did not refuse.
In history, the city of Anhui was breached by Sun Ce, and Yuan Yao of Jiangdong, who was invested, married his sister to Sun Quan as a concubine, but now, it is used by Yuan Yao to tie up his direct boss Li Tao.
Li Tao is not young, it is indeed time to get married, and Ren Jiang, this product is already over thirty years old, Wang Chong thought that he had to solve his life's major events as soon as possible, if he didn't interfere, with his stupid character, I am afraid that he would not marry for the rest of his life.
