Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 299
Guo State Army.

As soon as Wang Mang's words fell, the faces of the generals in the tent suddenly changed. Although the Guo State is small, the soldiers are good at fighting, and they are notoriously difficult to crack. Otherwise, the Great Qin would not sit back and watch the Guo State sit in the south of the Great Qin for many years. The small country that likes to make things happen has started.

Moreover, according to gossip, Guo State and Xu State have been flirting with each other for a long time. With the elite soldiers of Guo State and the experts provided by Xu State, Guo State’s military strength is no less than that of the big Central Plains countries. This is why Guo State dared to confront Great Qin. reason.

Li Lan looked at the crowd and said silently: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to reports from the spies, the Guo State had assembled an army of 20 people yesterday and had already crossed the border and headed for Shenshui County. Shui County is not far away. In addition, the spies also reported that the Guo State has recruited another 20 troops in the country, and they have already marched to the front line. If you want to come sooner, today, if you are slower, tomorrow, these 20 people will also enter our Daqin territory."

"The wolves of the Guo State are ambitious, and they are not afraid of being hunted down by hunters!" Wang Jian sneered at the side: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers of the Guo State are brave, the soldiers of our army are not vegetarians. With the strength of our army, let alone Guo State is still 30 short of us, even if we have the same strength as our army, our army can still fight, and this battle will definitely break Guo State's teeth."

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Mr. Guo is good at fighting, and what he is good at is the battle of mountains and forests. But this battle on the plain is what we and other great countries in the Central Plains are good at. Guo Changfu also let the interests go to his head, and he actually let Mr. Guo go deep into the plains. It's courting death, Yichen thinks that these Guo troops will never return." Wang Yongji laughed at the side.

"Everyone, don't be so optimistic. Guo Kingdom must have made sufficient preparations when it came here, so we must be careful." Li Hong said: "In my opinion, we should be careful, and we must not fall into the enemy's tricks."

"Master Li's words are reasonable." Changsun Wuji said beside him, "But we still listen to His Majesty's orders!"

Wang Mang looked at his eldest grandson Wuji, pondered for a moment and said: "The Guo army relies on Wang Xi, a rebel who is familiar with the terrain, and the innate powerhouse who supports Guo from Xu, but we already have both. To be on guard, Guo Changfu made the wrong decision this time, I am not Wang Xi, and I am not someone who can be bullied if he wants to bully, what you have to consider now is whether to take the opportunity to invade the territory of Guo State."

Invade Guo State?

Although the generals and ministers already knew that Wang Mang seemed to have the idea of ​​attacking the Guo State, this was indeed the first time Wang Mang brought this idea into the big tent to discuss it. Things that seemed to be far away suddenly came to the table for discussion. The ministers still felt a little dazed, and finally all the ministers looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Wang Jian.

Wang Jian's eyes flickered, and he said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, originally, the rebel army Wang Xi's troops, Wang Jitang's troops, plus the Guo State army, totaled 60 people. Our army currently has 70 people, which can be said to be evenly matched. , but now that Wang Jitang's troops have surrendered, and Wang Xi's troops have been beaten and disabled, there are still more than 5 people left. Lord Guo only has 45 men at most, and in terms of military strength, our army still has 20 troops left unoccupied, I have an idea about this, that is, whether to use some soldiers to directly attack the mainland of Guo State!"

As soon as Wang Jian spoke, all the people present were stunned. They invaded the mainland of Guo State. It was not that they had never thought about it, but they always felt that it was unreliable. The army can already attack the mainland of Guo State at any time.

"I think what General Wang said is true. Our army can definitely consider the feasibility of sending out some soldiers to attack the Guo State. If our army divides the army to attack the Guo State, the Guo Lord who is now in the country must be worried. , morale is low, and you can divide your army back home to resist our army, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone, it is indeed a good way." Changsun Wuji said.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Li Hong said from the side.

Soon, all the ministers in the tent unanimously agreed and looked at Wang Mang. Wang Mang pondered for a moment and said, "I just have this intention, that is, everyone thinks it is feasible. It is like that over there. Choose a general to lead an army of [-]. Bypassing Shenshui County and rushing directly to the territory of Guo State, it's just who do you think should be allowed to go!"

Who to let go?
The generals were silent for a while, and Wang Mang felt a little helpless when he saw this, which showed the disadvantage of his lack of talents. The Great Qin court was indeed full of talents, but in such an emergency, there were still not enough people.

After thinking for a while, Wang Mang said: "In this way, let the forward general Li Guang come back and lead 10 people to march towards the Guo State. Changsun Wuji, you will bring the scholars from the staff battalion to assist you."

The ministers were taken aback for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Your Majesty is holy!"

Li Guangzheng led his soldiers to arrest the rebels everywhere in Shenshui County. When he heard Wang Mang ordered him to take people to Guo State to make trouble, he was unwilling at that time. He, a forward general, did a good job, why was he suddenly sent out to make trouble? He is working in the enemy's rear. Li Guang's favorite thing is to charge the enemy head-on. He doesn't like making trouble in the enemy's rear. What he likes is the whole army attacking together.

But he was just Wang Mang's summoner. To some extent, Wang Mang's order could not be disobeyed, so he rushed towards the back with a face of reluctance.

As soon as Li Guang left, Wang Jitang was in charge of commanding the forward army of 15 people. Wang Jitang looked at Lu Xiao with a wry smile and said, "I originally wanted to keep a low profile behind Li Guang, but now it seems that I can no longer keep a low profile."

"My lord, you are a dragon and phoenix among people, and when the national power of the Great Qin Dynasty is booming, you can't keep a low profile even if you want to." Lu Xiao said silently, "Besides, since your majesty handed over the 15 troops to the lord, it is also important for you to keep a low profile." It shows that the prince has gained His Majesty's trust, which is great news, the prince is still young, and the future will be bright, so he can't be like those clans in Chang'an, leaving himself abandoned."

"Let's see it later." Wang Jitang sighed, the more Wang Mang trusted him, the more he felt trembling, like walking on thin ice, and he was full of energy, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Order to go on, let the army clean up Shenshui County and its radius of ten miles, and bury all the corpses within an hour. If it can't be buried, find a place to put it first. Don't see it in your majesty, and then tell everyone in the county. All the gentry who are on the stage, go to the gate of the city and wait for His Majesty's holy driver." Wang Jitang gave instructions to the left and right, and finally said: "I don't care what you think, in short, before your Majesty comes down, Shenshui County must be in order!"

promise!
When Wang Jitang gave an order, young generals from left and right left one after another, and those who did not obey the order, if they were on the side of the rebels, Wang Jitang immediately gave an order to cut off their heads, and those on the court side, Wang Jitang did not interrogate them, but ordered them to be locked up temporarily. The imperial army was handed over to Lord Haifeng, the military judge.

When Shengjia Wang Mang arrived in Shenshui County, Shenshui County was full of flowers, and he could not see the scene of a tens of thousands of people fighting here a few hours ago.

Wang Mang had already obtained from Li Lan the work that Wang Jitang had done in Shenshui County, he couldn't help but nodded, and said: "If the clan's children can have half of his ability, how can I have no one to use me?"
