Chapter 351: Breaking Jingzhou, Soldiers and Horses Strong, Worrying about Changsha, Fiery Water

Jingzhou was successfully breached, Xu Lang's troops were greatly replenished, and with the surrender of Jingmen and Jingzhou, the total strength has reached more than 100,000.

So far, it should be said that the strategic concept of King Gui Yunzheng has successfully realized the first step.

But although the number of troops has increased, a series of problems associated with it have also given Xu Lang a bit of a headache.

At this time, it is no longer like when he was by the side of King Ying, there are generals Wang Liang, Ma Ruhu brothers, Pei Yunzhao, or Lu Yida, who is old and serious, and there are not many available people at his hands.

The number of sergeants has tripled, but the quality is mixed. There are 40,000 soldiers in Chang'an, which is a top elite general, he doesn't have to worry about it, he has Li Wenzhong and moderation, which is enough. Jingmen soldiers, with Wei Dayong in plain way, have strict military discipline, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Only those forty or fifty thousand Jingzhou soldiers, it is really a bit thin.

For this reason, he must make good use of Wei Dayong and Li Ziliang.

At this point, Xu Lang is very smart, and Wei Dayong, who has been promoted to deputy general, is not stupid.

Since he has already taken a stand, he is not a person from the Qin Dynasty, so he naturally does everything with all his heart and spares no effort. He is a talented general, and this is a piece of cake to appease the people and stabilize the morale of the army. In the whole training of Jingzhou troops, he was a combination of grace and power, which not only showed the heart of the Bodhisattva, but also had the means of thunderbolt. After some unruly sergeants who had just surrendered were beheaded, the atmosphere in the barracks immediately changed.

After all, if you eat too much, you still need to digest it well. In this way, Xu Lang was stationed in Jingzhou, and he was fully armed, but unexpectedly, more than a month passed.

During this time, Xu Lang's next military deployment gradually became clear.

"The day before yesterday, Ganzhou General Ling Yue wrote a letter, saying that he was blocked by the prince of Ping in Changsha County, and the two armies were fighting fiercely, and they were deadlocked. This was also the policy of the British king and the king of Fu at the beginning, but it was only because we waited here for more than a month that there was a delay. Xu and General Wei inspected the battalions yesterday, except for the new barracks, which were not proficient in spear stabbing skills and were not familiar with the array, the morale of the other battalions was very good, and they were worthy of a battle. Therefore, I intend to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses with General Wei to go down to Yuezhou from the water path, first break Yuezhou, and then help Changsha County. If the road goes well, he should join General Ling in Changsha County. ”

In the Jingzhou Mansion, the generals gathered, and Xu Lang said his plan.

At present, Ezhou General Chen Su has been standing still, and he doesn't seem to have the intention of standing out for Yue Laozi. Moreover, Jiangnan did not cross the border to fight with it. As for the imperial court, it is too busy to take care of itself, and the Yiyang City bordering it has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and when Gui Yunzheng takes Nanyang, it will be in danger. Therefore, in Ezhou, it is quiet for the time being.

In addition to Ezhou, Changsha County is in dire straits, Ling Yue's attack is urgent, and Wuling County's attitude is unclear, and it seems that he is also watching from the wall.

"General Xu, 50,000 soldiers and horses, is there a little less?"

Li Wenzhong was a little worried.

Xu Lang's meaning was that he had already passed the qi before, let him stay in Jingzhou, stabilize the way of retreat, and prevent Ezhou from suddenly sending troops to attack, so his burden was not light. It's just that with 50,000 soldiers and horses, all the way over, it seems to be a very difficult task to collect Yuezhou and fight in Changsha County.

"Hehe, General Li, there are not many soldiers. This time to Changsha, I and General Wei are mostly the sergeants he has trained for many years, the field battle is not weak, the water battle is especially good, and there are 10,000 men in Chang'an, this land and water are complete, enough! ”

Xu Lang smiled slightly, looking full of confidence.

"You, but help my brother and me guard Jingzhou, if there is really an enemy army pressing the border, and send people to Xiangyang as soon as possible, please ask General Huairen to come to help along the waterway, and it is expected that there will be no worries."

Then, Xu Lang added another sentence, obviously, he was already confident about this matter.
