Chapter 1205 Splitting Guanzhong
Zhai Ci personally led Wang Meng and a group of officials from the county office to welcome the arrival of Hongwu Army soldiers several miles away.Seeing the fierce elite soldiers escorting more than twice their number of soldiers slowly approaching, all the faces of the crowd showed obvious nervousness. It is true that the people in Guanzhong are tough, but the Hongwu Army also fought Gaining a prestigious reputation makes people dare not take it lightly.

It's just that after the two sides met, Zhai Ci and the others were all taken aback when they saw the soldier in the army walking out.The soldiers of the Hongwu Army were burly and powerful, needless to say, but the commander was actually an old soldier with pale beard and hair, full of aging, and even an obvious lameness, which really surprised them.

The two sides met and exchanged names. The battalion leader of the Hongwu Army Bingwei claimed to be Wang Xue, and he didn't care about the obvious surprise on the faces of the people from Xiagu Township.

"Can a lame general be a soldier?"

After all, Zhai Hu was young, and the city government was a little underwhelming, so he expressed his doubts in his heart.

However, as soon as this remark came out, the faces of the Hongwu soldiers on the opposite side all changed. Many of them had strong anger on their faces, and their fingers subconsciously hooked the handles of their waists, making the atmosphere suddenly cold.

The soldier named Wang Xue didn't think he was disobedient after hearing the words, and said with a smile: "The king's orders are profound, the general is capable and tolerant, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are loyal and will never give up. But if you go against Loyal and righteous, disobedient to the king's order, even though he is brave and unparalleled, it is inevitable that the head of the king will be killed."

Hearing this, the expressions of all the people from Xiagui Village present changed. Zhai Ci stepped forward and gave his son a hard look, and said angrily, "Your father's village is so old, but you can still win the honor of Xingtai Jia." Life is rewarded, the boy is strong in his prime, but he is still lazy in the country, unable to see his own ugliness, and dares to speak before others! If you can fight the king's affairs like General Wang and his tigers, you will be majestic everywhere, even if you are disabled in all battles, you will return to your hometown I have my own parents to support me."

While speaking, he hastily walked forward and bowed deeply to the end, and said in a humble voice: "You son of a bitch, I hope the general will not sin."

Wang Xue stood on the spot, raised her arms and pointed her fingers slightly, and the soldiers behind him restrained their fierce flames, but looked at the terrified Zhai Hu, their eyes were still sharp and unfriendly.

Although the atmosphere was somewhat unpleasant because of that Zhai Hu's slip of the tongue, Wang Xue did not make an attack, and a group of people, led by the villagers, went to the camp that had been slightly opened on Jinshibei.Although there were not many soldiers entering the country this time, Zhai Ci did not dare to be negligent. After dismissing his son, he pulled Wang Meng to follow closely behind Wang Xue and introduced him briefly.

"Knowing that the Xiongjun is about to enter the village, the county office has already made preparations, but due to everything being done in a hurry, the camp can hardly be called complete. I hope the general will not sin..."

Although getting along well with Wang Meng in the past few days, Zhai Ci didn't dare to open the wall of the dock to let the Hongwu army settle in, so he built a camp in the wild. Naturally, the hastily built camp was not comprehensive, and he was afraid of this Wang family. The soldier was displeased, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if the teacher is facing all kinds of difficulties, he dare not use it because of difficulties. Please, general, take a rest for a while, and let me retreat for a while and prepare food for the army."

After Wang Xue heard the words, she just nodded and signaled Zhai Ci to take care of herself. Zhai Ci then apologized and quit, and asked Wang Meng to stay with him for a while.

After Zhai Ci left, Wang Xue's face that was neither salty nor dull turned into kindness, and she bowed to Wang Meng slightly, and said with a smile: "Before leaving, General Xiao also specially asked me to say that Wang Lang is General Gu. Respecting Shaoxian, although talented and strong, may not be widely seen as treacherous in the country, this time it is appropriate to come closer, if you are in trouble, you can just speak up."

When Wang Meng heard this, he saluted deeply, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Wang Yong was able to receive great help. The general came here to help, and Meng is really grateful."

Although he and Wang Xue were strangers, the fact that they both came from the station's subordinates was enough to make him feel close and respectful to this disabled but still diligent old man.Taking advantage of the fact that there are no idlers around, I will briefly describe the various events since I entered the countryside.

Wang Xue also had a good impression of this young man because of Wang Meng's politeness and lack of arrogance, and sighed as she listened: "These Guanzhong villagers have been in turmoil for a long time. Full of sternness. Rural affairs and politics, it is difficult for me as a soldier to help more, but Mr. Lang is a great general who educates young talents, and you don’t have to blindly ask for jobs in everything. It is more than enough to slaughter this township!"

After Wang Meng heard the words, he quickly expressed his thanks, and felt a sense of solidity in his heart that he had a strong backer.

Next, Wang Xuecai summoned the Recorder's Office in the camp to put out the booklet and hand over to Wang Meng: "The Hongwu army went deep into the enemy's territory, and there were many resources and shortages. There were not many people who could help the county affairs. But earlier, General Xiao led The soldiers went south to Jingzhao, and they got a lot of money, so there was a little reinforcement on top of the old amount. General Xiao also said that he had high hopes for Langjun's former Chen county government, and hoped that Langjun could lay the groundwork as soon as possible to help the military..."

After Wang Meng heard the words, he was overjoyed and felt a little ashamed. He entered this place with General Xiao, and the other party opened up the situation so quickly, but he was still trapped in a mere dock wall, and all kinds of county affairs had not yet been implemented. open.

Originally, the officers and soldiers of this battalion of Hongwu Army needed to be stationed in Lian Shao on the east side of Jinshipi, but Xiao Yuandong also took care of Wang Meng, saying that he could let Wang Meng choose a place to settle in the territory according to the needs of the county.

"In the past few battles, Chang'an's suburban counties have also been in a shrinking situation. Next, the military will sweep the surrounding area for the army to move in after the spring. In addition, the puppet Hans in the north will be slaughtered, and their minions will be removed one by one..."

Although Wang Xue served as the battalion leader, he didn't know the overall combat objectives of the Hongwu Army in such detail. Xiao Yuandong used him to tell these strategic objectives to Wang Meng. , if you are smart enough, you can also combine county affairs with the military, and things will go smoothly.

Wang Meng listened carefully, and gradually sketched out the general context of the Western Expedition later in his heart.He may not feel it himself, because the general took special care of him, so although he has not been in the business for a long time and his position is not high, the information he can get access to is very comprehensive, and it has a certain influence on the advancement of the overall situation know.

It is still early spring, and the weather is unavoidably cold. Wang Shi's various departments are still dormant and recuperating. In addition to going deep into the Hongwu Army of the Sanfu, the most important task is to build the strategic transfer station in Hedong.

With the completion of Hedong, on the one hand, it can ensure that Pingyang Shisheng's troops are completely isolated from the Guanzhong battlefield, and on the other hand, it can greatly improve the efficiency of putting soldiers and materials on the battlefield.

Of course, these general arrangements have nothing to do with Wang Meng. Going over them in my mind just makes me feel more deeply about the great general's strategizing and strong control over the overall situation.

Combined with the military situation conveyed to him by Xiao Yuandong through Wang Xue, Wang Meng clearly realized that the reason why the Hongwu Army went deep into the enemy's rear and was active among the three assistants was mainly to divide the entire Guanzhong battlefield into two parts, the north and the south, so that the north and the south were divided into two parts. Enemies on one side cannot cooperate strategically.

The enemies in the north are naturally mainly the puppet Han king Liu Changming and the township tyrants he coerced.This opponent is actually not very strong. The Xiongnutu ministries want to take advantage of the chaos to restore the country, and their hopes are extremely slim. Although there are many mobs, they cannot be condensed into a considerable force.

On this point, even if Wang Meng doesn't control the military, he can understand that the puppet Han really doesn't have much hope just through a little contact with Zhai Ci and other villagers after entering the countryside.

As for the enemies in the south, they are much more complicated than those in the north. The three tyrants, especially Jing Zhaohaoyou, often have tens of thousands of people.

And although Wang Meng couldn't be sure, from what he knew about the various arrangements of Wang Shi, he could vaguely feel that the general seemed to have some considerations other than the battle situation, and had been gathering momentum.Otherwise, even if winter is not a good opportunity to use troops, but with the wide-reaching posture shown by Master Wang last year, even if it is only slowly advancing, it can quickly advance to the outside of Chang'an City and achieve a siege ahead of time.

But now, it is necessary to divide the battlefield and divide the enemy, as well as manage the east of the river, strengthen the way of transporting troops and improve efficiency.This seems to be a sign that they are gaining momentum, so that the army will swarm into the pass in a short time.

As for why the general made such an arrangement, Wang Meng was limited by his lack of vision and consultation, so he couldn't make a judgment for the time being.But after understanding this, he became clearer about his mission, which was to cooperate with Xiao Yuandong's Hongwu Army to create an isolated area north of Chang'an to separate the Guanzhong battlefield.

When he first became an official, he was able to participate in such a large-scale war. Although he was only a small role in supporting and supporting, Wang Meng felt quite excited when he thought about it.

Compared with the huge Guanzhong battlefield and the entire war cycle, the time and space left for Wang Meng to play are very limited, and even if he does nothing in it, it is not enough to affect the overall situation.

But Wang Meng was naturally not willing to miss such an opportunity, even if it was only within the size, he also wanted to make a beautiful article and present it to the general, so that the general could understand that he had not misjudged the person.

"The army is fully advanced, as early as early summer, and at the latest will not be later than July..."

Wang Meng thought about his military term in his mind. In this way, the time left for him to perform would not be too long, and he still had more than two months to spare.If he wanted to achieve outstanding achievements, he could not be satisfied with cooperating well with Xiao Yuandong. He also had to bring the entire Xiayu County and even some surrounding areas under his rule, making it a big base where the main force of the army could settle in with peace of mind.

More than two months, whether it is long or short, if you consider that it is impossible for the Hongwu army to concentrate its forces to cooperate with him, with the strength of Wang Xue's battalion and the pressure on the local tyrants, It is still a rather arduous task for Wang Meng to use it.

The folks in Guanzhong are tough, and if they want to completely intimidate them, they must show both kindness and power. If helping Zhai Ci sort out rural affairs before is considered a kindness, then it is necessary to show their fangs and demonstrate to others.

The arrival of the battalion led by Wang Xue gave Wang Meng more power in his hands, and soon he made up his mind on what to do next.
