New Wagang

Chapter 409 All People Are Soldiers
Wang Cong thought about whether Dou Jiande would come to attack his Hejian County when Dou Jiande invited all the anti-kings from all over the world to gather in Lizhen. At that time, Wang Cong thought about it, but there was another possibility that Dou Jiande would choose Leshou County .

But Wang Cong didn't know that Leshou County had already belonged to Dou Jiande, and Kong Deshao, the magistrate of Leshou County, had secretly naturalized Dou Jiande.

However, when Li Chenglong came that day, Wang Cong hardly doubted that Dou Jiande would come to attack his Hejian County, and then he made a series of precautions. Among them, many things were even handed over to Li Chenglong To deal with the situation, which made Li Chenglong a little surprised.

Although he had already explained his identity and purpose to Wang Cong, Li Chenglong did not expect Wang Cong to trust him so much.

Li Chenglong knew that his elder brother valued Wang Cong, and after getting along for such a period of time, Li Chenglong himself wanted to see with his own eyes what Wang Cong was capable of, so he did his best to Wang Cong's orders, even It is better than some of Wang Cong's men.

However, with the preparations in place, Li Chenglong discovered that the defense equipment of Hejian County was far behind Wagang, but there was one thing that Wang Cong was very good at using the energy of the people. During the preparations for a period of time, the common people were involved in the whole process.

Could it be that this is what my brother wants me to learn from this person?

For a while, Li Chenglong felt a little out of tune.

A small county like Hejian has no choice but to rely on the people, and that's why Wagang has a strong army. Even if the people want to join in, the military discipline doesn't allow it.

What does my brother want me to learn from this person?
Li Chenglong harbored doubts in his heart, but he was completely unambiguous in what he was doing. In a short period of time, his new deputy capital had already gained the trust and respect of everyone, because Li Chenglong was also an expert in defending the city. exist.

Three days later.

The news that Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses came to invade Hejian was finally confirmed. When he heard the report, Wang Cong couldn't help but let out a deep breath. This breath seemed to mean that the dust had finally settled, and there was also endless worry that followed. .

"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses." Wang Cong put down the letter in his hand, glanced at all the generals and officials under his command, and finally stared at Li Chenglong, and continued: "But there are only four thousand generals in my city, and the equipment It is also very bad, what good strategies do you guys have to defend the city from being destroyed by it?"

"My lord, I heard that the old prince is killing the rebels around Li Town. We might as well ask the old prince for help, and at the same time make a plan to defend." A general came out to make a suggestion.

"The old prince has already sent someone to ask for help." Wang Cong nodded and said, "However, Dou Jiande's army of 20 only invaded Hejian County with [-]. I must have expected the reinforcements. You have to think about it." Think about how our family can defend Hejian City now."

In fact, Wang Cong of Hejian County already had such a conclusion in his heart that Yang Lin, the backer king, could not come to support him, but he couldn't say it directly in front of his subordinates. What he needs most now is confidence, so let the soldiers It's good to know that there is still a glimmer of hope out there.

"It's nothing, just stick to it!" Another general jumped out and shouted loudly: "Under your lord's rule, everyone in Hejian County has plenty, even that Dou Jiande is very virtuous, but we don't want him to enter. Come to the city!"

Wang Cong has a unique way of using his men and horses, that is, most of the people who need to be reused are locals. This can be regarded as a direct or indirect promotion that makes these people willing to die in order to preserve their homeland. .

Sure enough, after this general, many generals stood up and shouted loudly to echo. For a while, the civil war in the lobby was full of vigor, and everyone showed their determination to die. This made Li Chenglong slightly stunned. Almost nothing was said to boost the morale of the army.

This is Wang Cong's brilliance. In the Qingping and prosperous times, most of the people were transferred from outsiders, so as to avoid forming cliques to a certain extent. In this troubled world, Wang Cong's way of self-administration meant taking care of his own people.

Wang Cong nodded again, without further words, he stood up immediately and said: "All the generals follow me to the top of the city to meet the people, and then you don't need to care about your personal life or death!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Cong came out from the commander-in-chief case, and went straight out, followed by all the generals and officials in the lobby, not one left, only Li Chenglong looked at the group of people leaving with a little dementia .

However, after a short period of stupefaction, Li Chenglong also rushed up.

Out of the lobby, today's streets are busier than before. Of course, this busyness is not about the harvest, but the people's various support for this battle, food, vegetables, pots and pans, quilts, clothes, Pushing and pulling with a trolley all go in one direction: the city gate.

All the streets in front of them were crowded with mighty power, and all the people immediately cheered when they saw Wang Cong coming out. It looks like you can die at any time!

When there were two streets away from the city gate, the two sides of the shop gate had already been piled up with all kinds of daily necessities on the street. At this time, Li Chenglong also saw a sergeant hauling food and grass into the newly built shanty. Come, and the people also stepped forward to help unload it one by one, the whole scene was complicated but not chaotic at all.

As Wang Cong walked all the way, both soldiers and civilians would shout to Wang Cong, and Wang Cong would clasp his fists in return. When he reached the city gate, he saw countless small tents set up. Needless to say, Li Chenglong could also Guess these will be where the sergeants rest.

At this time, some soldiers in the distance led a large group of women, old and weak, to build a large stove, just on the street, which meant to move everything to the city gate.

Needless to say, there will never be another possibility in this battle other than Dou Jiande breaking the city!
But, why is Wang Cong so popular?
Li Chenglong couldn't figure it out, because what he had seen these days Wang Cong hadn't done much mobilization and encouragement at all, but he had already reached such a state that all the people were soldiers.

As he went up to the tower, Wang Cong led all the generals along the city wall to inspect the entire tower, and finally made some additional troops in some places, giving care to all the guards.

This point is the same as what my elder brother told me, to treat sergeants like my relatives and brothers.
