Chapter 032 Takeover of the Bingzhou Army
After Lu Bu left, Wang Jing followed Jia Xu's advice and did not do anything randomly. He focused on Zhang Liao's opinions and acted according to Zhang Liao's opinions, completely dispelling Zhang Liao's doubts.
What Wang Jing did not expect was that Lu Bu never came back after returning to Chang'an. He was on the pretext that the Bingzhou war was deadlocked, and he stayed in Chang'an and secretly joined forces with Wang Yun to conspire against Dong Zhuo.
If Lu Bu did not come back, the war in Fenyin City was fully governed by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao always took the defensive stance before Lu Bu came back. Even if Zhang Ji urged him, he would not move and kept comforting Zhang Ji with good words.
Wang Jing was free in a rare state. Every day, he not only insisted on practicing martial arts, but also took the four hundred brothers of Nangong Wei to hunt with Cai Yan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Shi A to supplement meat for his brothers.
In spring and summer, the Fenhe Plain is rich in wild game, with many large and ferocious carnivores such as rabbits, wild boars, pheasants, cranes, and even wolves. Wang Jing rarely eats pure natural delicious wild game.
Cai Yan and Da Qiao sisters and three girls had a very happy time, especially Cai Yan and Da Qiao. The two girls wrote poems from time to time to express their joy.
Wang Jing also asked his brothers to plant various vegetables in the wastelands around Fenyin City. The abundant supply of vegetables and meat has brought them all to great heroes.
Wang Jing's doing this actually means laying the foundation for his future. Wang Jing wanted to build Fenyin City into a granary for the future to conquer the world.
In October, Lu Bu sent someone to pass on a message to Zhang Liao, ordering Zhang Liao to take Cheng Lian, Hao Meng and two thousand cavalry back to Chang'an to support him, and hand over all the military power of Bingzhou to Wang Jing, saying that the situation in Chang'an was serious.
After Zhang Liao received the order, he found Wang Jing: "General Wang, Marquis Wen ordered me to bring two thousand iron cavalry to support Chang'an. I will leave it to you here in Fenyin."
Wang Jing frowned at Zhang Liao when he heard this: "General Zhang, what happened to Chang'an? Do I need me to go back?"
Zhang Liao smiled slightly: "General Wang should guard this place well. Don't let your brothers' hard work be wasted over the past year. As for Chang'an, please leave it to me!"
Although Wang Jing was happy inside, he still pretended to be frowning: "Okay General Zhang, if I need it, I will go over and support me, please send my brothers to notify me in time."
"It's definitely! General Wang will be in Fenyin City!" After Zhang Liao said that, he handed over the 60,000 military powers in Bingzhou to Wang Jing, and told Zhang Ji that he had gone out to patrol camp and took two thousand elite cavalry away.
The day after Zhang Liao left, Wang Jing came to Jia Xu, Qu A, Xu Huang and Qiao Rui: "Four, now I am the supreme commander here, all four are my confidants. Please be sure to strictly implement my orders next."
"Please rest assured, lord, my subordinates will definitely obey the orders." Xu Huang took the lead in holding his fists to take the order.
Wang Jing nodded: "Immediately control Zhang Ji's Liangzhou army and integrate the Bingzhou army in Bingzhou, Xu Huang, Qiao Rui and Shi A are the commanders."
Xu Huang looked at Wang Jing in confusion when he heard this: "Lord, let's do this now, are you too hasty?"
Wang Jing smiled slightly, and he naturally knew that he was right to do this, because Dong Zhuo would be killed after the New Year, and now it is less than three months before the New Year.
Wang Jing knew that Xu Huang asked this for his own future, so of course he would not blame Xu Huang.
Wang Jing looked at Jia Xu and smiled and said, "Wenhe, what do you think about this?"
Jia Xu sighed, "Wen Hou is now calling Zhang Liao and others back to Chang'an, which means that Wen Hou will soon attack Dong Zhuo.
As soon as Dong Zhuo dies, Wang Situ is in charge of the entire chapter. Although the general is indeed a little anxious to reorganize the army at this time, it is convenient for him to deal with the next unexpected situation. I agree more."
"Hahaha! Wenhe, you really have no choice!" Wang Jing couldn't help but praise Jia Xu's wisdom because Jia Xu was right.
Wang Jing stopped his smile and said seriously: "As Wenhe said just now, what we are doing now is to prepare for Dong Zhuo's death.
If we do not control the Bingzhou army now, it will be too late once Dong Zhuo dies."
Xu Huang nodded and frowned and said, "Lord, even if Dong Zhuo dies, he will be killed by Marquis Wen. The lord now integrates the Bingzhou army, which is equivalent to seizing Marquis Wen's military power. Marquis Wen may be able to do it."
Before Xu Huang finished speaking, Wang Jing nodded and said seriously: "It's okay, then I will ask my father to appoint Marquis Wen as the general, commanding the troops of the two states of Bingzhou, and I am the commander of the Bingzhou Army.
Besides, by then, Mr. Wen will be my brother-in-law, so he will not argue with me. Otherwise, I will ask my sister to deal with him."
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh: "General has a good sister! Then I wonder how the general plans to treat the Liangzhou army?"
"If you can subdue, you will subdue it; if you can't subdue, you will dismiss it. They are all Han people. I agree with General Zhang Ji very much. I will control them first and try to regain them after Dong Zhuo dies."
Jia Xu kept looking at Wang Jing's expression when Wang Jing made his statement. This was the issue that Jia Xu was most concerned about.
Seeing Wang Jing’s sincerity, Jia Xu nodded: “General is benevolent and righteous! Then I wonder how the general plans to treat the Liangzhou territory and His Majesty?”
Wang Jing said without thinking: "If I could take over the troops and territory under Dong Zhuo in full, it would be the most ideal, but that would be obviously impossible.
As for Emperor Xian of Han, he must be in control of me. Otherwise, what would I do to make the heroes in the world surrender?
Now the forces in Chang'an are intertwined. My father and Wen Hou are both existences that I cannot control. Our power in Chang'an is not enough to dominate the overall situation. Everything can only be done and left to fate."
"My wise lord! I am willing to help my lord with all my strength!" Jia Xu directly bowed to Wang Jing when he heard this.
Wang Jing looked at Jia Xu and was overjoyed: "Wenhe, your grandmother finally accepts me!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again.
Jia Xu stopped the laughter and clasped his fists and said, "The lord can use the brothers of the original reinforcement club as the backbone to reorganize the troops. Let the three brothers Xu Huang, Qu A and Qiao Rui take charge of the army."
Wang Jing nodded: "Wenhe coincides with me! Just do it like this."
"Abide by the order!" Jia Xu and four others all bowed their fists to take the order.
Wang Jing nodded and looked at Xu Huang: "Gongming, please send someone to rumor Wu Qiong and Zhou Dou to help, and it is enough to let Gao Shun stay alone in Chang'an."
Jia Xu looked at Wang Jing in surprise when he heard this: "Lord, it turns out that you rescued Wu Qiong and others from Luoyang Prison? How did you do it?"
Jia Xu thought about the Luoyang Prison many times afterwards but couldn't figure out what was going on.
Wang Jing smiled slightly and briefly explained the process of rescuing Wu Qiong and others.
After hearing this, Jia Xu shook his head and sighed: "So that's it! It's really incredible. The lord is really brave!"
Wang Jing smiled slightly: "Time is tight, everyone should act according to our plan. Remember to leave Wu Qiong and Zhou Dou to the position of commander."
"As for the order!" Everyone clasped their fists and took the order and went to work hard.
Everything went smoothly next, and the integration of troops was successful. Zhang Ji and his five thousand troops were also controlled by Shi Adaojun.
Xu Huang was sent by Wang Jing to Shangdang County to integrate the troops there and garrison them.
Half a month later, Wu Qiong and Zhou Di arrived, and Wang Jing directly accepted the two as commanders. Like Xu Huang, Qiao Rui and Shi A, each commanded more than 10,000 troops.
Wu Qiong was sent by Wang Jing to Hedong County to take charge of the troops and stationed in Hedong County.
Zhou Di was sent by Wang Jing to the southern part of Taiyuan County and stationed in the area where the Wang family's hometown was located.
Wang Jing took only one month to completely control the 60,000 Bingzhou troops in Bingzhou and control the southern Bingzhou area.
After Wang Jing took charge of the army, he did not attack the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley in Xihe County. Instead, he listened to Jia Xu's advice and waited for Dong Zhuo's death.
After the generals arrived at their respective territories and completed their command of the troops, they sent people to report to Wang Jing.
191 passed like a magical past. Although Wang Jing's experience was exciting, it was very smooth. He finally got his wish and became his lord, with his own territory and troops.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year after 192, Wang Jing sent Jia Xu, Qiao Rui and Shi A: "Wen Hou sent a letter and ordered me to lead the army to Chang'an to support him. What do you think?"
Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, support is definitely necessary, but there should not be many troops going to Chang'an to support it. Otherwise, it will attract the attention of the Liangzhou army near Chang'an."
Wang Jing nodded: "That's the reason."
Shi A smiled and said, "Lord, since that's the case, then there is no need for the lord to bring one army and one soldier in Bingzhou Army. There are five thousand elite soldiers in Chang'an."
Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Senior Brother, are you talking about the soldiers under Gao Shun?"
Shi Ah smiled slightly: "Yes lord. As long as Dong Zhuo dies, the troops of Gao Shun brothers can be used."
"Hahaha, okay, that's it. Wenhe and I took fifty guards back to Chang'an, and we will leave it to our senior brother and father-in-law." Wang Jingxi said.
"As for the order!" Shi Ah and Qiao Rui held their fists and took the order.
Wang Jingnn nodded and looked at Qiao Rui: "Father-in-law, I won't take Erqiao and Wenji, I will leave the three of them here. If you can do my best, my father-in-law will take good care of the three of them on my behalf."
"Please don't worry, lord!" Qiao Rui held his fists and took the order.
Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, lord! Fenyin is very safe. Bai Bo and Guo Da will not bring people here."
Wang Jing nodded and then went to say goodbye to Cai Yan and Erqiao.
Cai Yan instructed Wang Jing to take her father Cai Yong to Fenyin City. Wang Jing happily agreed.
On the eleventh day of the lunar month, Wang Jing and Jia Xu rushed to Chang'an with fifty personal guards.
I came to Gaoshun Military Camp smoothly.
After seeing Gao Shun, Wang Jing hugged Gao Shunxi and said, "Xuan Gao, are you okay?"
Gao Shun hurriedly hugged Wang Jing: "Yes, lord, everything is fine!"
"Okay, okay! That's good! How are the soldiers and horses practicing?"
Gao Shun whispered: "I have trained the eight hundred trap camps for the lord, and it is no problem whether it is siege or defending the city."
"Can camp? OK! It's really great! You really have it!" Wang Jing pushed Gao Shun away, and then gently pounded Gao Shun's chest.
Jia Xu was speechless about the meeting ceremony between Wang Jing and Gao Shun.
Gao Shun held a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome the arrival of Wang Jing and Jia Xu.
Jia Xu clasped his fists to Wang Jing after the welcome ceremony and bowed: "Lord, if the head of the family ordered the Bingzhou army to return to Chang'an after Dong Zhuo's death, the lord could use the excuse that the Bingzhou army was restrained by the Baibo Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Xiongnu people and horses and could not evacuate, so he would refuse the head of the family's request."
Wang Jing nodded: "Yes, this proposal is very good!"
After Wang Jing finished speaking, he looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, can we take some Western Liang army for my use?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly: "I am willing to win over some people for the lord, but it is unclear how much I can win over."
Wang Jing couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, "Okay! Wenhe is doing his best. I believe in Wenhe's ability. Then let's take action separately."
Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "Lord, it's not convenient for his subordinates to show up yet."
Wang Jing smiled slightly: "Xuan Gao, you don't need to show up, just be prepared here. Even if you want to use it, it's time to get to the beginning of next month."
Chapter completed!
