The carnivores of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not care about the loss of the water division, and were willing to train by fighting, and the words of the clouds and the wind were light, but for the lower water divisions, it was thousands of casualties.

But there's nothing to complain about, being treated like a soldier by the state for seven years, isn't it just pointing to them desperately on the battlefield to pay back.

In the wounded camp, Wang Ajing, who was missing an arm, looked much better, and was bragging with his comrades-in-arms about his son who was studying in the state.

Wang Gongyun was a young man, the second time he participated in the imperial examination, he passed the Sizhou State Examination, and had the qualifications to be an official, if he went further, he could even be an official, not only the examination room was proud, a young man like him lifted people, the most favored by the scholar family, after Wang Gongyun was lifted, countless matchmakers stepped through the threshold, and finally Wang Ajing listened to his son's idea and betrothed to his sister who was a classmate of the county school, and was the daughter of a small scholar family in Xin'an County.

As for Wang Ajingkong's left arm, it was lost half a month ago, in the face of the Southern Liang soldiers who jumped on the Northern Qi warship, he followed his companions to fight the enemy in close quarters, fought to the death without retreating, and finally repelled the Liang people, since then, no one in the army called him the nickname of Wang Kuaijiao.

Eight years ago, Duan Shao rescued Xuzhou, Wang Ajing, as a state and county soldier, served as a task to lure the enemy with a group of forcibly recruited farmers.

There are many Xiangzhou people in the Northern Qi Water Division, and in the past seven years, this nickname has also spread, especially Wang Gongyun passed the state test, and there are more people who ridicule Wang Ajing for being cowardly and cowardly.

Who let such a coward have such a cowardly son who is so competitive, and he bragged in front of people when he had nothing to do.

was ridiculed, Wang Ajing would explain at first that during the battle of Xuzhou, Duan Shao had already arranged an ambush, and he didn't need a bait to take advantage of his momentary bravery.

But after a long time, he no longer refutes, and secretly determined to prove his courage, but he didn't expect that the wait would be seven years.

Now that he has broken a hand, Wang Ajing does not regret it, he knows that his family is from a family, and his ancestors have been mud legs for several generations.

If today's son was humiliated by the Liang people, he chose to fight hard with the Liang people, which can be regarded as repaying Gao Cheng's kindness with this arm.

"Wang Ajing!"

The head of the wounded battalion walked up to Wang Ajing, interrupted him and the newly wounded soldier who had just entered the UK to boast about his son, handed over a piece of paper, and said:

"When I return to Xin'an County, I will go to the county government to pay it, even if I leave the army, I don't need to pay the exemption money, and I remember to go to the county government to receive a pension after the autumn every year."

Wang Ajing took the so-called disability certificate with his only remaining right arm, and the head of the wounded battalion turned around and continued to distribute it to the rest of the people, leaving him with a sigh.

When he listened to his son's recitation of poetry, there was a sentence 'fifteen from the army, eighty years to return' made him think that he was going to stay in the army until he was eighty years old, and later asked the military Chinese officer to know that Gao Cheng, who was still the king of Qi at that time, had already ordered those who reached the age of fifty to leave the army and return home.

Gao Cheng's move is not all sympathetic to the soldiers, since he has a military salary, the cost of raising soldiers is there, especially the soldiers, both military salaries, and a year's food and clothing, the cost is so large, it naturally has to be spent on the able-bodied.

For people like Wang Ajing who retired due to disability, Gao Cheng will not ignore them no matter how much he searches.

Even if these people could earn a sum of income by subleasing their share of land, Gao Cheng still ordered that the local government must provide them with a year's rations as a pension after the autumn harvest every year.

Gao Cheng can be supported by the soldiers, often win battles, and accumulate prestige is only one of the points, the most important thing is to seek these well-being for them, especially compared to the Northern Wei Dynasty when they lived solely on looting.

Wang Ajing carefully put away the paperwork, he didn't covet that little bit of compensation, with Wang Gongyun, how could he need the support of the court.

This document proves that it is a proof of his courage, Wang Ajing decided to leave the barracks tomorrow and go to his hometown Yecheng first, to show those who once ridiculed him whether Wang Ajing was a coward or not.

"Fifteen from the army, eighty to return", he was indeed conscripted as a state and county soldier at the age of fifteen, and he stayed in the army for almost 30 years in a blink of an eye, it stands to reason that he can retire from the army and enjoy Qingfu after a few years, but the state and county soldiers have the method of messing around, and the soldiers need to have the determination to fight to the death.

On the same day, Wang Ajing made an appointment with several disabled soldiers from Hebei to return to their hometowns together, and the next morning, the three of them left the barracks together with paperwork.

When I arrived at the city of Runan, I happened to see the soldiers and civilians who followed the emperor of Great Qi to the south stationed outside the city, camping for more than ten miles, and it was mighty.

At this time, Gao Cheng was holding a military meeting in the city.

Nowadays, the confrontation between the Northern Qi and the Southern Liang is limited to the battle of the sailors in Huaishui, and the battle between the infantry and cavalry will not be carried out on a large scale until the river is crossed.

It is not difficult to cross the Huai River, but if it is not possible, you can bypass it, what really annoyed Gao Cheng was that he learned the news that Xiao Yan not only dispatched 100,000 water and land troops for Xiao Yuanming to defend Huainan, but also blocked the river with thousands of warships on the Yangtze River to form a second line of defense.

The Huai River can be circumnavigated, but the Yangtze River really cannot be circumvented.

Now his own sailor has been repeatedly taught by the Nanliang sailor to be a man in the Huaishui, and he has been on the Yangtze River, but he is afraid that it is even more unbearable, after all, the Huaihe River water war and the Yangtze River water war are two different things, the Yangtze River water surface is wider, and the water flow is more rapid.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that this battle should stop at taking the land of Huainan, as for Jiangnan, it is better to wait for the sailor to become familiar with the river before making a plot."

Duan Shao suggested.

Before the war, they all knew that there was a gap between the two countries' naval divisions, but after all, they had been training for seven years, and they thought it would not be too big, but when they really went to actual combat, they realized that they were backward in all aspects.

In fact, Gao Cheng had already heard about the crotch-pulling performance of the Northern Qi Water Division, and he was already considering taking Huainan as the goal of this battle, and then learned that Xiao Yan had arranged the second line of defense on the Yangtze River, and he had no intention of crossing the river.

Hou Jingneng crossed the river first with 800 horsemen, thanks to Xiao Yan and others relaxed their vigilance, Gao Cheng now leads 200,000 soldiers on land and water, and 150,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties go south, how can Xiao Yan completely pin his hopes on the Huai River defense line and not make arrangements on the Yangtze River.

At this moment, Duan Shao gave a step, Gao Cheng borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and asked the rest of the generals who participated in the military discussion, and everyone also felt that it was not appropriate to cross the river and go south when the sailor was still unusable.

After all, 350,000 troops, 600,000 people, a total of nearly one million people, even if they can really take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Liang people to smuggle across the Yangtze River, what about logistics, if they don't seize control of the Yangtze River, how can grain be transported over.

It is the practice of tens of thousands of partial divisions to feed the enemy by fighting war, and it is impossible to avoid a fantasy that nearly a million people will eat the enemy.
