Now, Lin Haotian is anxious to know whether there is no need for his side to continue fighting this battle, and whether his army can break through the Red Kingdom's garrisons in Tianma and Zeping Prefectures.

The Central Army of the Red Kingdom had no less than 600,000 troops stationed in Tianma County and Zeping, and even if the main corps of the Jin State, the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army Corps, all came out, it would be difficult to break through again.

On the one hand, it was because all the central armies of the Red Kingdom had been assembled, on the other hand, the Jin army itself suffered heavy losses, the fourth and sixth armies were almost wiped out, the first army suffered more than half of the casualties, and the second, third, and fifth armies were also damaged.

Everyone discussed such a result, Lin Haotian was not surprised, nor did he feel discouraged, compared with a few days ago, when he was defeated by others, the current battle situation is very good.

"Since there is no longer the strength to move south, it is time to begin to consolidate the five counties we currently occupy. Lin Haotian lowered his head and said while looking at the map.

Now the Jin army occupies the five counties of Dongjiang, Pengfeng, Guangxi, Anqiu, and Zhengzhong in the Red Kingdom, the second and third army corps are hoarded in Anqiu, the first army and the fifth army are hoarded in the middle, and the fourth and sixth army corps directly dispatched by Lin Haotian are currently resting in Suyue.

"My lord sees it clearly!" Mu Wu Zhengse said: "The last general also has this intention." ”

Lin Haotian nodded and asked, "Then how to set up defenses?" "You can't leave your four main legions in the red land for a long time, right?"

Chu Lianyu immediately continued: "According to the opinion of the last general, the lord should now rely on the land of the five counties, quickly form a new imperial court and a new red army, and use the red people to balance the red people." ”

That's a solution, and that's exactly what we originally planned. Lin Haotian held his chin and thought thoughtfully. Didn't answer right away.

After thinking about it for a while, he looked around at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

"The last general agrees!" Zhang Hui was the first to stand up and take a stand. He is a red man, but now he has taken refuge in the Jin Kingdom, and he will more or less worry about what others think of him, and he doesn't want to be scolded as a rat who betrays the country and seeks glory. The establishment of a new Red Kingdom led by the Red People, although it greatly divided the Red Kingdom, was at least stronger than the direct division of these five counties into the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Zhang Hui expressed his support, Guan He's eyes rolled, and he also followed, and said loudly: "The last general also agrees!"

Soon, everyone said that there was no disagreement.

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "Since the rankings are not opposed, then. The matter was settled. "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is more advantageous to establish a new red country than to directly annex these five counties by the Jin state.

Through consultation with everyone, Lin Haotian finalized many matters for the establishment of the new Red Kingdom one by one. In fact, there is no discussion, most of the time it is Chu Lianyu who proposes, Lin Haotian agrees, and others basically stare at each other and can't speak.

According to Chu Lianyu's proposal, Lin Haotian removed Song Hao, the head of Guangxi County. He was promoted to the new red king, and all the county troops of Guangxi County were included in the central army of the new red country.

This hand can be called murder without blood. On the surface. It was to promote Song Hao several levels in a row, and he became the king of the new Chidi, and his official residence was a good product, which was many levels higher than the county head, but in fact, it cut off his real power and military power in the local area.

The system of the new Aka is not to emulate the Akatsu. Instead, he inherited the Jin State, in which the generals had no right to transfer command the army, only the right to manage, and the central army of the New Red State was actually completely controlled by Lin Haotian.

The left and right prime ministers of the new Chiguo are also all served by the Jin people. Lin Haotian designated the right minister as Bi Wen, who had always won his appreciation and trust, and the left minister as Chen Ping, that is, the distant relative of Tai Shuhong.

Bi Wen and Chen Ping are both Lin Haotian's cronies, and their abilities are also outstanding, and Lin Haotian is very relieved that he is in charge of the military and political affairs of the New Red Kingdom.

In addition, in addition to these necessary officials of the imperial court, Lin Haotian also created a new position, which was also modeled after the system of the Jin State in Mudi, called the Chidi General Inspector, which was concurrently held by Chu Lianyu.

After this personnel decision, the court structure of the new Red Kingdom was basically formed, and in this court, the officials of the Red people accounted for the vast majority, but the real power of the high-level fell into the hands of the Jin people.

In addition to firmly controlling the court of the New Red Kingdom, Lin Haotian did not relax his efforts in the local counties and counties, and the county heads, deputy county heads, or county heads and deputy county heads in various places always had a position held by the Jin people, and as for the county lieutenants and county lieutenants who actually controlled the local army, they must be done by the Jin people.

It can also be seen from the official structure of the new red country that this so-called new red country is actually a puppet regime, from the imperial court to the local government, the real power is held by the Jin people.

A month later, Song Hao officially ascended the throne in Cangping, the country name is still red, calling himself orthodox to the outside world, calling Shi Huai's party a rebel and a thief, and issuing a notice to the world, hoping that the red people will come north to vote, and should no longer help the abuse, respect Shi Huai, in addition, the negotiation affairs between the countries and the red country, the envoys should send envoys to Cangping, and should not go to Jiankang again.

Song Hao called the king, which made Shi Huai's hatred itch at the root of his teeth, and now he is in Cangping Dingdu, how can Shi Huai not be angry, he ordered the central army stationed in Zeping to attack north, attack Cangping, regardless of the price, in short, to beat Cangping down.

The commander of the garrison in Yu Zeping is Xiao Jinpeng, who is also a well-known general in the Red Kingdom, and the official worships the general. Receiving Shi Huai's order, Xiao Jinpeng felt quite embarrassed, Song Hao had set the capital in Cangping, which hoarded a large number of Jin Army and the New Red Army, in the case of a large number of troops, Cangping in just a few days outside the city to build a circle of outer earth walls, and on this basis has been heightened and reinforced, the current Cangping, which is so easy to capture?

However, the king's order is difficult to disobey, Shi Huai's will has been passed to Xiao Jinpeng's hands, and he has to carry it out.

Xiao Jinpeng commanded 200,000 troops, went north in Zeping County, and launched the first attack on Cangping, the capital of the New Red Kingdom.

In this battle, because the Central Army of the New Red Kingdom had not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness, the task of fighting against the enemy fell on the First Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps.

This war did not last long, and after only one battle between the two sides, the Red Army retreated on its own initiative.

In this battle, the Red Army encountered the First Army.

The 200,000 Red Army, against the First Army, which was in a period of recuperation with less than 100,000 troops, could not have any advantage on the battlefield, and the two sides fought evenly matched.

They are just a legion, and they take the initiative to meet the attack outside the city, but they can't defeat it, and there is still the Fifth Army Corps behind them, and a large number of the Central Army of the New Red Kingdom have not joined the battle, so how can this battle be fought? Rather than taking humiliation on itself, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw troops, at least it will not be too embarrassing to lose.

When the news of the Red Army's retreat came back to Jiankang, Shi Huai was furious and directly removed Xiao Jinpeng from his position, replaced by Deputy Marshal Yan Bin, and continued to attack Cangping.

The Central Army of the Red Kingdom, led by Yan Bin, launched a second attack on Cangping.

This time, the Jin army did not directly participate in the battle, but was met by the central army of the new red country, and the two sides fought a face-to-face confrontation outside the city of Cangping.

The result of this battle was better than the last time, Yan Bin defeated the New Red Army, and the New Red Army was defeated, but after the battle, the loss of Yan Bin's army was not small, and in the face of the Jin army stationed in Cangping City, he had no desire and strength to attack again, so he could only choose to retreat.

The second offensive of the Red Army also ended with a voluntary retreat.

After reading the battle report, Shi Huai, who was in Jiankang, tore it to pieces on the spot, and ordered Yan Bin to be removed from his position immediately, then changed the commander, and then attacked Cangping.

At this time, the ministers of the Red Kingdom court have stood up to dissuade, after two battles, their garrison in Zeping has suffered heavy casualties, even if a new commander is replaced and then lead the army to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to be effective, the top priority is to do a good job of resting and recuperating, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Under the persuasion of many ministers, Shi Huai finally calmed down a little, withdrew his fate, and planned to keep Yan Bin for the time being.

The general Yin Liang took the opportunity to propose to Shi Huai that Wang Han be reactivated and let Wang Han serve as the commander of the Zeping garrison. (To be continued......)
