Chapter 760: Annexation of Wei
A few days later, in the direction of Yecheng, Hua An and his subordinate generals, as well as Jiang Gan, Wang Wu and other Wei generals, discussed the capture of Lukou in the Chinese army's big tent.
The reason why he was so eager to attack Lukou was because Yan poisoned Ran Zhi, the king of Wei, which made the Wei generals angry, and under the repeated requests of Jiang Gan and Wang Wu, Hua'an decided to convene an emergency military meeting to study the feasibility and success rate of capturing Lukou, and to appease Jiang Gan and other Wei generals with a positive attitude.
"Report, Wang, the captain of the Wuyi Battalion in the capital, ask to see you outside the tent." Just when Hua'an and the generals were arguing about how to attack Lukou, a small colonel walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported with his fists in his fists.
Hua An was studying the heavy matter of attacking Lukou with his generals, and when he was disturbed by the little colonel, he was slightly angry in his heart and frowned.
"Your Majesty, the captain of the Wuyi Battalion asks to see him, maybe there is something serious, let's let him in!" Seeing that Hua An was a little angry, Wang San said softly.
Hua An nodded and ordered softly, "Let him in." ”
Soon, the captain of the Wuyi battalion strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, and knelt down to plead guilty: "The last general has insulted his mission, and he has come to ask the king of the north for his guilt." ”
Hua An was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, the captain of the Wuyi Battalion asked him for guilt, it must have happened to Ran Ming, and besides that, there could be no other things.
Jiang Gan and Wang Wu, the generals of the Wei State, were also a little frightened, they learned a few days ago that the Great Jin Dynasty had released Ran Ming, and sent soldiers from the Wuyi Battalion to escort Ran Ming to Yecheng to claim the king, and now. The soldiers of the Wuyi battalion in front of him suddenly came to ask for guilt, and what it meant seemed to be very clear.
"Come on, is there something wrong with King Wei?" Huaan asked loudly.
The captain of the Wuyi battalion nodded and said: "King Bei, it was the last general who was incompetent and failed to protect the King of Wei, causing the King of Wei to be killed by the assassins of the Yan Kingdom. After speaking, he bowed his head and confessed.
When Jiang Gan and Wang Wu heard this, they were immediately shocked, Ran Ming's killing meant that Ran Min's heirs were all gone. There is no zài in the Great Wei Kingdom. This made it difficult for their hearts to accept this fact for a while.
"How can this be, doesn't Murong Jun even let go of the last blood of the previous king?" Jiang Gan said sadly, with a slight hint of anger and suspicion in his words.
Wang Wu also looked at the captain of the Wuyi Battalion with suspicion. After all. The captain of the Wuyi battalion had three hundred men. The equipment is also very well-equipped, if you go all out to resist the enemy, how can you let the Yan Kingdom assassins succeed. Now, Yan Wang Ran Ming has been killed, but the captain of the Wuyi Battalion in front of him is alive and well.
Hua An saw Jiang Gan and Wang Wu's suspicions, so he looked at the captain of the Wuyi Battalion and asked loudly, "How do you know that it must be the assassins of the Yan Kingdom, and how many assassins there are?" ”
The captain of the Wuyi battalion hugged his fists and said: "Back to the North King, there are about a hundred assassins, and the leader is Murong Ba, the general of the Yan Kingdom. ”
"Murong Ba, how is it possible, how do you recognize Murong Ba?" Jiang Gan's eyes glared at the captain of the Wuyi battalion in front of him, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes! As a general of the guards in the capital, how did you know Murong Ba? Hua An also asked curiously.
The captain of the Wuyi battalion hugged his fists and said: "King of the North, the last general followed the King of the North to Liaodong more than ten years ago, and has seen Murong Ba many times, this person's martial arts are still domineering, and his appearance has not changed much, and the general will never admit his mistake." ”
"Oh, you have followed this king to Liaodong, no wonder you look familiar, come, get up quickly! If it was really Murong Ba's murder, then you soldiers of the Wuyi Battalion would be helpless against him. When Hua An saw that the soldiers of the Wuyi Battalion in front of him were actually his subordinates back then, he immediately felt very cordial and immediately helped him up.
"King Xie Bei." The captain of the Wuyi battalion hugged his fists and thanked him.
"Your Majesty, Jicheng made a detailed report, half a month ago, Murong Ba, the general of Yan State, disappeared, perhaps, he was really ordered to go to Jiangnan." Wang San said softly.
"Yes! Wang, Wei Wangzhi has just died in Jicheng Prison, and the new Wei Wangming has been assassinated again, which is obviously done by Murong Jun, in order to destroy the Wei State! Zhuge Xiong said with his fists clenched.
Hearing this, Hua An nodded approvingly, and said: "Right now, the Wei royal family has been harmed by Murong Jun, and the unification of Wei has no successor!" After speaking, he pretended to frown sadly.
Seeing that all the evidence pointed to Murong Jun, the king of Yan, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu had to admit that this qiē was all done by Murong Jun, and they suddenly hated Murong Jun in their hearts.
"King of the North, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, and the last general requests to immediately send troops to attack Lukou." Jiang Gan pleaded loudly.
"The king of the north, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." Wang Wu also shouted for his life.
Hua An hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "The two generals are eager to avenge the King of Wei, which this king can understand, but now that the King of Wei is dead, the Great Wei Kingdom has no leader, and it will definitely fall into chaos. ”
"King Bei, all the heirs of my Great Wei Dynasty have withered, and there is no one to recommend." Jiang Gan said helplessly.
Hua An waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, this king feels that General Jiang is dedicated to working for the Great Wei State, and his prestige is enough to be a king, and this king will later recommend General Jiang to the Great Jin Dynasty as the King of Wei, in order to unite the people of the Great Wei State and fight against the Yan State together with my Great Jin." ”
"The king of the north, you can't do it, how can the last general be virtuous, how can you be the king, this is absolutely not good." Jiang Gan never thought of being the king, so he strongly objected.
Hua An had long known that Jiang Gan would definitely refuse, and the reason why he said this was just to retreat as advance, take this opportunity to annex Wei, and bring Jiang Gan and other Wei generals under his command to greatly improve his strength.
Sure enough, soon Wang Wu and Jiang Gan understood what Hua'an meant, and said that since the Great Wei State had fallen, they were willing to lead tens of thousands of soldiers under their command to join Hua'an, and completely obey Hua'an's dispatch.
Yan and Wei were enemies, and in this case, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu's only choice was to annex Hua'an, and there was no other choice at all.
The annexation of Jiang Gan, Wang Wu and other Wei soldiers greatly increased Hua'an's strength, which made a large area of Wei land, including Yecheng, also become land under Hua'an's jurisdiction.
At this time, Hua'an, on the grounds of insufficient strength, asked Jiang Gan and Wang Wu not to rush to attack Lukou City, but to work hard to develop their strength first, and then attack in the direction of Lukou after their strength was strong enough.
In order to form a strong combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Hua'an reorganized the army under his command, and merged the 20,000 main cavalry under Chen Poyu and Chen Zhanhu with the 20,000 reserve army to form a chariot force of 40,000 horses.
This army has Chen Polu as the main general, Chen Zhenhu as the deputy general, and the 40,000-strong army will have 10,000 powerful heavy chariots, which are enough to resist the charge of cavalry groups of any size.
In addition to recruiting an additional 20,000 war horses, a large number of craftsmen must be hired to work day and night to build heavy chariots.
In order to allow the charioteers to quickly form combat effectiveness, Hua'an asked the craftsmen to build hundreds of chariots first, and let all the charioteers take turns to train on these small chariots, so that after a large number of chariots entered the army, the soldiers could adapt faster.
With the various problems encountered by the soldiers in training, Hua'an ordered the craftsmen to carry out various favorable modifications to the chariots, so that these chariots could exert more powerful combat effectiveness.
Only half a month later, the first batch of 1,000 chariots entered the barracks, serving as the training of 40,000 soldiers, and soon, more and more chariots entered the camp one after another, and the charioteers under the command of Hua'an began to take shape.
In addition to forming charioteers, Hua'an also divided the soldiers and horses of the former Wei State that had just been annexed into two divisions, Jiang Gan was responsible for commanding 40,000 infantry, and Wang Wu was responsible for commanding 20,000 cavalry.
In this way, Hua'an's main army in Yecheng has 70,000 cavalry, 40,000 charioteers, and 40,000 infantry, and the total strength of the main army is as high as 150,000.
Such a large number of troops is enough to block the Yan army from going south again, and even, after the charioteers have fully formed their combat effectiveness, they can move their divisions to the north, capture Youzhou and Pingzhou, and then destroy the two countries of the Yan Dynasty and unify the entire north.
Hua'an in the direction of Yecheng, training soldiers and horses day and night, Wang Meng in the direction of Guanzhong was not idle, since getting Hua'an's promise, Wang Meng began to actively recruit troops, and in a very short period of time formed 100,000 cavalry troops, and scattered in the suburbs of Chang'an City for training.
In order to train these 100,000 recruits, Wang Meng transferred 3,000 soldiers from the 30,000 main army stationed in Chang'an City and let them take on the task of training.
In addition to training 100,000 recruits, Wang Meng paid more attention to the development of agriculture in Guanzhong and the virtue of officials, and from time to time led some of his subordinates to conduct private visits to micro-services.
As a result, the officials of the Hao clan in Guanzhong no longer dare to eat vegetarian meals and fish and meat for the common people, and they only work diligently for the common people every day, for fear of being accidentally caught by Wang Meng and punished.
Under Wang Meng's governance, the development of Guanzhong became more and more prosperous, and the lives of the common people became more and more prosperous.
Of course, at this time, the world is full of heroes, and there is no peace and prosperity at all, Wang Meng knows this very well, for this reason, he first locked his eyes on the Liang country in the northwest, and sent his henchmen to pay close attention to every move in the direction of Guzang.
