The Great Army of the Kingdom of Qiu.

As soon as Wang Mang's voice fell, the faces of the generals in the tent suddenly changed, although the country of Yu is small, but the soldiers are good at fighting, and they are notoriously hard bones, otherwise Daqin would not sit idly by and watch the country of Yu sit in the south of Daqin for many years, and he would have already attacked this small country that likes to do things.

Moreover, according to the grapevine, it has been a long time since the eyebrows of the Kingdom of Qiu and the State of Xu have been eyebrows, and the elite soldiers of the State of Yu and the masters provided by the State of Xu, the military strength of the State of Yu is no less than that of the big countries in the Central Plains, which is also the reason why the State of Yu dares to go against Great Qin.

Li Lan looked at everyone and said silently: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies, the Kingdom of Qiu has gathered an army of 200,000 people yesterday and has crossed the border line and headed for Shenshui County. ”

"The wolf of the country of Qiu is ambitious, and he is not afraid of asking hunters to hunt him!" Wang Jian sneered on the side: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers of the country of Qiu are brave, the soldiers of our army are not vegetarians, with the strength of our army, not to mention that the country of Qiu is still short of us 300,000 people, even if it is the same strength as our army, our army can also fight, and this battle will definitely make the country of Qiu break its teeth." ”

"Your Majesty, Yu Jun is good at fighting, and what is good is the battle of mountains and forests, but this battle of the plains, that is what I and other big Central Plains countries are good at, Guo Changfu also let the interests get carried away, and he actually let Yu Jun go deep into the plains, it is simply looking for death, according to the minister, these Yu troops have no return. Wang Yongji said with a smile.

"Don't be so optimistic, you must have made sufficient preparations when you come here, and you can't be careless. Li Hong said: "In my opinion, we should be cautious and never fall for the enemy's tricks." ”

"What Master Li said is reasonable. The eldest grandson Wuji said on the side: "But let's still listen to Your Majesty's holy judgment!"

Wang Mang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said after a moment: "What the Yu army relies on is Wang Xi, a rebel who is familiar with the terrain, and second, the innate strong man who supports the country of Xu, but we have already taken precautions against both, Guo Changfu has made a mistake this time, I am not Wang Xi, but he can be bullied if he wants to, what you have to consider now is whether to take the opportunity to attack the territory of the country of Qiu." ”

Invade the kingdom of Qiu?

Although the generals and ministers already knew that Wang Mang seemed to have the idea of attacking the kingdom of Yu, this was indeed the first time that Wang Mang brought this idea to the big tent to talk about it.

Wang Jian's eyes flashed, and he said: " Your Majesty, originally, the rebel Wang Xi's department, Wang Jitang's department, plus the army of the Kingdom of Qiu, a total of 600,000 people, our army currently has 700,000 people, which can be described as evenly matched, but now the Ministry of Wang Jitang has surrendered, and the Ministry of Wang Xi has been disabled There are still more than 30,000 people left, that is, let it collect some remnants, it is only about 50,000 people, in this way, Wang Xi's department plus the army of Yu Jun is only 450,000 people at most, from the comparison of military strength, our army still has 200,000 troops, in this regard, the minister has an idea, that is, whether to take out a part of the soldiers, directly attack the country itself！”

As soon as Wang Jian spoke, everyone present looked stunned, attacking the territory of the Kingdom of Qiu, everyone had not thought about it, but they had always felt unreliable, but now that Wang Jian said this, he really knew that the army of the imperial court could already attack the territory of the Kingdom of Qiu at any time.

"The minister thinks that what General Wang said is very true, our army can fully consider the feasibility of dividing a part of the soldiers to attack the country itself, if our army divides the army to attack the country of Qiu, the king of Yu who is now in the country must be worried, demoralized, and can also divide the army to return to China to resist our army, it can be said that it is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

The minister seconded. Li Hong said on the side.

Soon, the ministers in the tent unified their opinions, looked at Wang Mang, Wang Mang pondered for a moment, and said: "I have this intention, that is, you all think it is feasible, over there, choose a general to lead an army of 100,000, bypass Shenshui County, and go directly to the territory of the Kingdom of Yu, but you think who should go!"

Let whom?

The generals were silent for a while, Wang Mang saw this, and he was also a little helpless, which showed the disadvantage of the lack of talent under his subordinates, the Great Qin Imperial Court is indeed full of talents, but in this kind of emergency, there are still not enough people.

After thinking about it, Wang Mang said: "In this way, let the forward general Li Guang come back and take 100,000 people to march towards the country of Qiu, the eldest grandson Wuji, you will bring the soldiers of the staff battalion to assist from the side." ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Guangzheng led his soldiers to arrest the thieves everywhere in Shenshui County, and heard Wang Mang order him to take people to the country to make trouble, at that time it was a hundred unwilling, he, the forward general, did a good job, how could he suddenly be sent out to work behind the enemy, he Li Guang's favorite thing is to charge head-on with the enemy, but he doesn't like to make trouble behind the enemy, what he likes is to attack the whole army to rush and kill together, but he doesn't like the obscene development in the back.

But he was just Wang Mang's summon, and to a certain extent, Wang Mang's order could not be disobeyed, so he rushed to the rear with a reluctant face.

As soon as Li Guang went, Wang Jitang was responsible for leading the forward army of fifteen people, Wang Jitang smiled bitterly, looked at Lu Xiao and said: "I originally wanted to follow Li Guang and keep a low profile, but now it seems that I can't be low-key." ”

"Lord Wang, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, and when the national strength of Great Qin is thriving, even if you want to be low-key, you can't keep a low profile. Lu Xiao was silent, and said: "Besides, Your Majesty not only handed over the 150,000 troops to the prince, but also shows that the prince has won the trust of Your Majesty, this is great good news, the prince is still young, and the future will be a good time, but you can't follow those clans in Chang'an and waste yourself." ”

"We'll see later. Wang Jitang sighed, the more Wang Mang trusted him, the more he felt trembling, walking on thin ice, and even more energetic, that was not at all afraid to slack off.

"Tell the army to go down, let the army clean up the county seat of Shenshui and the ten miles in radius, and bury all the corpses within an hour, if they can't be buried, find a place to put them up first, don't see them in Your Majesty, and then order all the gentry in the county who have gone on the table to go to the city gate and wait for Your Majesty's holy car. Wang Jitang commanded left and right, and finally said: "I don't care what you think, in short, before Your Majesty comes, Shenshui County must be in order!"

Promise!

Wang Jitang gave an order, the left and right generals went away one after another, there were those who did not listen to the order, if it was the rebel side, Wang Jitang directly cut off his head under an order, and on the court side, Wang Jitang did not interrogate or ask, but ordered to temporarily lock up the imperial army and wait for the imperial army to be handed over to the military judge Haifeng.

When Wang Mang arrived at Shenshui County, Shenshui County was full of flowers, and he couldn't see a few hours ago, there was a scene of a battle of hundreds of thousands of people here.

Wang Mang had already obtained the work that Wang Jitang had done in Shenshui County from Li Lan, and couldn't help nodding and said, "If the children of the clan can have half of his ability, why will there be no one to use under me."
