The key to the Jiangling to Jinling is that it is too close. I sailed along the river and arrived in a few days. It took only ten days to complete the Jingzhou transformation.

But it takes one month to use water and roads from Chengdu to Jinling, which is the gap.

From Shangyong to Shangyong, the army marched from Hanzhong to Shangyong for seven days and a regular marching took half a month. After three days of repairing Shangyong, it received news of the great change in Jingzhou.

"If Jiangling is captured, the navy will go down the river and attack Jinling in a few days." Wang Hongyi sighed with emotion. This is the advantage of the upstream fighting against the downstream.

On the second day, the army rose up and raised towards Xincheng County.

Xincheng County was under a huge jurisdiction, but later it was divided into the west and established Shangyong County, which narrowed its jurisdiction.

Sun Chang occupied Shangyong, Xincheng, and Xiangyang.

Wang Hongyi next attacked Xincheng County.

It is naturally a bureaucratic team to stay and deal with matters between Shangyong. The seven counties of Shangyong are like this. It is enough to leave 3,000 people and clean up the remaining forces here.

In less than two days, the army arrived outside the Xincheng County and surrounded the county town. However, the army stationed a military camp not far outside the county town, but there were still some battles along the way.

After the military camp was completed, the commanders patrolled the camp.

Liu Guo was the commander of Guangwu. He was the old general of his previous generation and was naturally valued now. At this time, when he patrolled the military camp, he saw that another group of new soldiers on the battlefield had adapted to the rhythm, was silently wiping the armored soldiers, cleaning the camp, and carrying out patrols, and he couldn't help but nodding secretly.

With the construction and improvement of the Gengzhu Camp system, a large number of experienced veterans were used as instructors, and the training time gradually expanded to half a year. Although these batches of new recruits who were rotated, they were not many better than those who were recruited before, in terms of physical fitness, obedience, or fighting.

It can be said that after a few bloody battles, the Shu army can defeat 20,000 enemies by 10,000. Invincible in the world is not a dream, but a fact.

And perhaps because of the lord's personal expedition, the army wanted people and people to ask for food and supplies, and there was no shortage of supplies. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

When the patrol was watching, suddenly a fire rushed over quickly and turned to her kneel halfway: "General, the Duke of the State has been summoned!"

Liu Guo said, "I understand!"

Suddenly, the surface became cold, and raindrops fell. Someone whispered: "It's raining again!"

Spring rain, this is a good thing. Liu Guo thought about it, but he immediately went to the main business.

The central army tent was brightly lit, and the generals were listed below. Liu Guo went over and found that half of the people were coming. After waiting for a moment, all the generals came.

Wang Hongyi made a "bang" sound, and the camp tent was silent.

"Report! There is news in the county town!" At this time, the personal soldiers who had been waiting were shouting.

"speak."

"According to the news, our army arrived outside the city, and there was a chaotic group in the county. One-third of the generals guarding the city had no fighting spirit. Several of them even proposed to surrender to the prefect. Although they were imprisoned by the prefect Lu Cong, they were not beheaded immediately. Rumors were spreading in the city, and the people were frightened and there were basically no pedestrians on the streets."

"what else?"

"The thirteen hundred households that were installed in advance by the Lord have led people to conduct semi-public activities, and have achieved some results in the rebellion."

"Semi-public? Who are these hundred households?" Wang Hongyi was slightly stunned. Half-public means no longer taking care of secrets and it is easy to be discovered.

"It's a high road for hundreds of households. It's said that the lord's army is approaching, and there is no need to hide it, at most it's dead."

When Wang Hongyi heard this, he was stunned again, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Good!"

After hearing the information, Wang Hongyi was in a good mood and had no pressure to pacify the Xincheng County. Speaking of which, the three counties of Shangyong, Xincheng and Xiangyang were originally owned by Sun Chang. When he was in the first city, he might be able to gather troops to resist. After Shangyong fell, there was actually no room for resistance.

If Sun Chang dares to send troops to fight in the field or resist in Xincheng County, he will never be able to do so.

However, Sun Chang did not. Although this saved the foundation, it also made Xincheng County ripe. Xincheng County had 10,000 soldiers, three thousand were removed and seven thousand were still there.

This strength was already very low. After attacking Shangyong County, the difficulty of pacifying the county suddenly decreased.

However, if we can minimize losses, Wang Hongyi is naturally very happy.

After listening to the report from his subordinates in front of him, Wang Hongyi's face appeared with a sure win.

"You have done a good job in this matter, go ahead." Wang Hongyi said to his personal soldiers with satisfaction, and sent the person away. Wang Hongyi said, "There are only seven thousand in the city, so I will persuade him to surrender later. If he does not surrender, it will be too late to attack again. Zhang Qing, there is another matter to discuss this time. You can tell you."

After hearing this, Zhang Youzhi responded: "No!"

He turned around and stared at the generals, and said, "The lord first divided the wing soldiers and the wing soldiers. From eighteen to thirty, the people must go to the wing soldiers to train every year and take turns on duty. This is the wing soldiers. The strong army selected for the army is the wing soldiers."

"There are also elite soldiers above the main soldiers, the upper soldiers, and the armored soldiers at the third level."

Speaking of this, Zhang Youzhi paused and saw that everyone was listening intently. This is what everyone knows.

"The lord has a reward. Anyone who can beheaded at level 4 can return to the city and go to the martial arts hall to practice."

"Lord, what is this martial arts lecture hall?" At this time, Chai Jia took a step and asked.

"The fourth level of beheading is the commander of the sergeant. Although his official position is low, he started with a military position. According to the military system of our army, he will be promoted from the ranks in the future. In the future, the generals of the lieutenants will be promoted from it, so they must learn. Those who teach martial arts are taught."

As soon as he said this, the generals suddenly buzzed, and Du Gongzhen frowned and asked, "The lord wants to start a military exercise, and give him a military letter?"

Military books are strictly regulated books.

"No, I just teach you how to read and basic theories of marching. Please teach you the veterans." Wang Hongyi said, "so that you can keep you proud."

The ancients did not lack rich battlefield experience, but lacked systematic military education, which relied entirely on military books and practice.

The system of military training can be said to be a lack of ancient times. Of course, the same is true for official training, with a long-term lack of a systematic and effective training system.

Everyone knows the officers, just talk about officials. A lot of scholars have been in their hard work for ten years, and they have passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination at once, and then they are directly county officials, managing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. How do you think this can be managed?

So this is not a martial arts exercise, it is a hierarchy of ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, a hundred people, and a hundred people, and a hundred thousand people. It is first implemented in the army, and later Wang Hongyi will promote it to the governors. The reason why the governors is not promoted is because the deep-rooted tradition has changed, the counterattack and consumption caused is too great. It is better to implement it in the army in a blank space.

Ten people are in charge and hundreds of people are in charge. In fact, they are all non-commissioned officers, just to let them learn this level of content. Wang Hongyi was not interested in teaching advanced content all at once. What he learned was to read, listen to orders, recite, and tactical level elementary content.

After Wang Hongyi said this, all the generals understood it and had no objection.

When Wang Hongyi saw another chess fall without hesitation, he was overjoyed. This not only strengthened the combat effectiveness of the army, but also strengthened the control of the army, killing multiple goals in one fell swoop.

"Tell me, every time the battle is over, you will recommend a suitable partner to go to the martial arts hall to practice, and the time is set to one month or two months!"

"No!" the generals responded.

After an incense stick, Wang Hongyi rushed to the county town.

"Lord, the county city has arrived." Zhang Youzhi, who came with him, reminded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongyi strangled his mount.

He raised his head and looked at the magnificent county town not far away, but he just snorted with a little disdain.

In the eyes of others, the very tall wall may be far behind Xiangyang and Hanzhong.

"Lord, you can give orders!" Zhang Youzhi continued.

"Please surrender!" Wang Hongyi ordered.

Directly attack the city, and with the current situation, you can also capture this city within three days.

Although this county town is considered to be strong in Jingnan, the city walls are high and thick, but now the hearts of the people in the city are chaotic, and they can work in detail with some chips in their hands. It takes some time to achieve their goals.

But why should he lose some troops to do something that can be solved without a single soldier?

There are some damages in this city. If repaired, manpower and financial resources are required. After all, these are really a big expense.

Although you have money, it doesn’t mean you can spend it like this.

After a moment, an officer with a huge voice, under the escort of several personal soldiers, rode his horse towards the city wall, ran to a distance of one hundred steps from the city, and stopped far away.

The officer shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, I will inform you of the Duke of Shu. In this chaotic era, Duke of Shu received the order of heaven, and was the Lord of Shu. He valued virtuousness and ability. He would be rewarded for those who are virtuous and talented. If the prefect and generals in the city lead their troops to join us, the lesser ones will be in the original position, and the more serious ones will be rewarded."

"This is the Duke of Shu who loves talents and the people. If he dares to resist stubbornly, the army will invade the city and regret it too late."

The sound spread from afar, and the city could be heard clearly. For a moment, the atmosphere on the city tower became strange.

No one was talking, but some people's eyes were already a little wrong.

Seeing the sudden riots appearing above, followed by a crossbowman shooting downwards, Wang Hongyi smiled at the corner of his lips: "Are you scared?"

"Come." After a moment, he called out to the personal soldiers beside him.

A personal soldier immediately stepped forward, and Wang Hongyi ordered: "Give them a day, and if they don't surrender in a day, attack them immediately!"

"promise."

Night falls.

Under the moonlight, the surrounded county town was silent. Except for the patrol soldiers on the top of the city, the situation where the other party only surrounded but did not attack, made everyone who had a string tense all day long and finally exhausted.

In the mansion of the prefect Lu Cong, the prefect Lu Cong walked back and forth in the room uneasily.

"Lord, if you don't surrender early, it will be difficult to get good results when you attack the city tomorrow... If you ask for help from outside, no one will send troops to support you." The confidant of the prefect Lu Cong advised carefully.

With Wang Hongyi's great momentum, those who persuaded surrender are now blatant.

How could the prefect Lu Cong not know about this principle? He was really unwilling to give it to others.

"Wang Hongyi was able to defeat Shangyong before, which shows his strength. Instead of being attacked and letting him deal with it, it is better to surrender." The confidant continued to persuade.
