"What, you don't feel comfortable and want to drive me away?" Wu Nian joked with a smile.

Wei Yu finally became more natural, glared at Wu Nian, and turned his head angrily.

"Alright, alright. Tease you, what are you angry about. Wu Nian coaxed.

After a while, Wu Nian said, "Wait for another half a month." You're not cured yet, I'm not worried. Compared to you. The Fuhan General's Mansion has nothing to worry about. ”

"The ready-made small imperial court, without me, can still function."

"Besides. Didn't I win the battle? The forces of the Chu State in Liaodong have been driven away by me. ”

"Chun Yuan didn't choose to fight me."

"Goguryeo has been playing dead."

"Pirates at sea are not worth mentioning."

"Even if I stay in Haitian City for a year and don't go back to Jiang County, there will be no problem."

In the end, Wu Nian raised his head, and his face showed a look of pride. The hearts of the people, the officials, and the army are all here.

I'm fearless.

"Hmm." After hearing this, Wei Wei bowed his head slightly, revealing joy. The two have just confirmed their relationship, and she also wants Wu Nian to accompany her more.

Wu Nian stayed in Haitian City for twenty days before he left Haitian City.

Morning.

Outside the south gate of Haitian City.

A large number of soldiers and horses blocked the roads, forbidding the people to enter and leave the city gates.

A large number of soldiers in the south are waiting to be deployed. Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng rode on their horses, tightened the reins of their horses, and looked up at the men and women who were saying goodbye at the city gate.

After this period of rest, Wei's illness has been mostly cured. On the delicate little face, the color of blood has been restored, and the heroic appearance of weekdays has been restored.

She also specially wore a green skirt to match her figure, which was very feminine.

"Big brother. You take care. Wei Yu looked at Wu Nian very reluctantly and said softly.

"You too. Don't be in a hurry to practice martial arts, and recuperate for another month. Wait for me to go back to Jiangxian County and straighten out the soldiers and horses. Fight Meng Yuan again. When I sweep through the five prefectures and thirty-two counties, I will surely be king. ”

Wu Nian nodded and said in a deep voice. There are too many people nowadays to say clearly.

But Wei Yu knew what this meant, his face was slightly red, and he lowered his head shyly.

Wei Hong watched from the side, his expression thoughtful.

Beauty deserves overlord, that's a matter of course. Since Wei Xian likes Wu Nian, even if Wu Nian is just an auxiliary Han general, he is not the king.

He also agrees with this family business.

Although this is detrimental to Wei's reputation, it is much better than Wei Xiang's lonely life.

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. No matter how much you say, there will be a time to finish it. Finally. Wu Nian was still ruthless, said goodbye to Wei Xiang, turned on his horse, stepped forward with his own soldiers, led a huge number of soldiers, and returned to Jiang County.

"Big brother." Wei Yu stood under the city gate, looking up at the slowly departing army, until the army disappeared on the horizon, and refused to leave for a long time.

.............

Now there is no fighting, and there is no need to rush the march. Wu Nian set out from Haitian City, marched slowly, and returned to Jiang County.

Wu Nian was very low-key and did not let the officials come out to greet him. Instead, he led his troops directly into the city. The city of Jiangxian is already very large, and there are huge military houses for the army to live in.

Now the captains have scattered in all directions, and there are only Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, two soldiers from 10,000 households. They settled down in the middle of the city.

Surrounded by his own soldiers, Wu Nian returned to the Fuhan General's Mansion and went straight to the hall.

After entering the hall, Wu Nian met Liu Zhixing, Wang Youxiao, and Li Yong.

"General." The three of them immediately stood up and bowed to Wu Nian.

"No courtesy." Wu Nian waved his hand, went straight to the main seat and sat down, looked up and asked, "I stayed in Haitian City for more than a month and didn't come back, you must be very nerve-wracking." Let's get straight to the point. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, but they didn't bother their heads. Anyway, with Wu Nian, they can basically keep running.

But there are some things that really can't be done without Wu Nian.

Liu Zhixing nodded, clenched his fists and said, "General." The three of us discussed it. I felt that in order to cope with the war that followed, we had to change the structure of the army and expand the number of troops. ”

Wu Nian narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Liu Zhixing in surprise.

The expansion of troops is due.

He's been expanding his army, and he's been expanding his army.

The word "reckless" is his exclusive use.

But what does it mean to change the structure of the army?

"Interesting, let's talk about it." Wu Nian became interested, raised his hand and said.

"General. Now we have twelve lieutenants. 10,000 households in the navy and 10,000 households in the cavalry. The rest were infantry troops, with a small number of cavalry. ”

"Next, our main enemy was replaced by Chunyuan. He had nine thousand soldiers, and he guarded the city. We're evenly matched. ”

"But it's not just pure distance."

"We didn't break through Shanhaiguan. The country of Chu is vast and rich, and the losses arise. If the court of Chu is not confused, it will equip Shanhaiguan with a good general. There is still a threat to the state of Chu. ”

"Coupled with Goguryeo, I have always been eyeing Liaodong."

"If you want to defeat the Mengyuan people in such a situation. We have to divide the army. Divided into defenders, as well as warlords. ”

When Liu Zhixing said this, he looked up at Wu Nian and said categorically: "We discussed it and felt that we should recruit 60,000 soldiers and horses to guard the city. ”

Of course, there is no fear of army expansion.

But expanding the soldiers and horses of 60,000 households at once, Wu Nian, a madman who expanded his troops, couldn't help but gasp.

"Will this work?" Wu Nian's face showed a look of embarrassment and asked.

Liu Zhixing laughed and said, "The general forgot." We already had more than 40,000 soldiers in our hands who had captured Wang Zhongbi, and the armor and equipment were ready-made. If you recruit some of the people, you can organize into a defender. ”

"Two standing garrisons of 10,000 households in each province."

"And the defenders' equipment doesn't need to be too good. Just give a battle jacket, a weapon, and a war bow, and you can do without armor. ”

"More than 20,000 people were recruited, and the cost of materials was not large."

"But."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhixing's words changed, his face showed a solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice: "General." After that, the problem is big, big. ”

Only then did Wu Nian remember that he had surrendered more than 40,000 Chu soldiers from Wang Zhongbi. Everyone is Han Chinese, and it is still very easy to get together and get by.

This time, the pressure is reduced a lot.

Otherwise. Liaodong has been in war for many years, and the strong men of the people have reached a very dangerous level. and then recklessly recruited 60,000 soldiers at once.

Then it could really crash.

And Liu Zhixing is right.

The army defending the city was separated from the field army. The defenders defend the city, and the attackers attack. There are no worries.

One house, two defenders of 10,000 households. Combat effectiveness, equipment, and treatment can be inferior.

Soon, Wu Nian's expression became serious. asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Liu Zhixing will not be untargeted, he said that if the problem is big, it will definitely be big.

It stands to reason that the biggest problem is the source of soldiers.

Now that the Chu State has surrendered more than half of its troops, what are the difficulties?

Wu Nian felt very strange again.
