Chapter 301 Strategic Shift
Two days later.

In Hukou City, [-] elite soldiers of the Huai Army were slowly entering the city. Du Fuwei greeted him at the city gate with his two adopted sons.

Since receiving the news of Fu Gongyou's demise, Du Fuwei's attitude has become even lower.

Even through Wang Xiongdan's initiative to express his willingness to join the Huai army.

Wang Jing also didn't expect that a prince of Du Fuwei's level would be willing to take the initiative to seek refuge before he took the initiative to make a move.

No one would refuse such a good thing.

However, Du Fuwei was facing the invasion of the former Qin army at this time, and the battle was imminent, so Wang Jing only verbally agreed to the opponent, and did not actually recruit the opponent's soldiers.

"The king personally came to help, I am very grateful!"

When Du Fuwei came forward to meet, he used the etiquette of courtiers to meet the king with a wink, and regarded himself as a member of the Huai army.

"General Du is serious, it should be..."

Wang Jing laughed, and asked Du Fuwei to follow him when he entered the city. While looking at Hukou City, he talked casually with Du Fuwei.

Du Fuwei introduced him to the city defense of Hukou City, as well as the general situation of his soldiers and horses.

He has stronger troops than Fu Gongyou, and is similar to the intelligence obtained by the Military Intelligence Department. Half of the troops are distributed in dozens of forts around the mouth of the lake.

The other half of the troops in Hukou City are responsible for guarding.

There are more than [-] people in the entire territory near the mouth of the lake. There are fortresses on the periphery that are responsible for resisting foreign enemies. Hundreds of thousands of people reclaim land in the protection circle of the fortresses. They continue to cultivate and help Du Fuwei hoard a lot forage.

According to the standards of the Huai Army.

Du Fuwei's territory can be divided into three or four counties, and it is barely possible to set up a separate government.

Fu Gongyou's territory can also be set up as a separate mansion.

In other words.

It took only a few days for Wang Jing to send troops, and he successfully expanded the two mansions.Got a lot of benefits.

The defense of Hukou City was pretty good, but Wang Jing saw that most of the soldiers guarding the city were ordinary people who had undergone light training, and there were very few soldiers who had reached the first level.

He has a feeling that it only takes a fourth-rank general to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to defeat Du Fuwei's tens of thousands of troops head-on.

In the history of the original world, it was possible to rule the roost for a while with the tactics of crowds and cannon fodder.

But in the mainland of China, most of the princes have already begun to train elite soldiers, and some discerning people, like Wang Jing, have begun to popularize the practice method on a small scale to create their own elite troops.

It can be foreseen that the battlefield in the future will inevitably be dominated by elite soldiers, and ordinary people are not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

After entering the city.

Wang Jing did not go to the mansion arranged for him, but brought Du Fuwei, Bu Zhi and others to the top of the city.

On the top of the city, there are many kinds of rolling logs and stones prepared.

After Du Fuwei implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, a large number of people, grain and grass materials were continuously transported to Hukou to fill the strength of Hukou.

Dozens of forts that were originally used as defenses on the periphery have been abandoned by Du Fuwei.These forts are useless in front of the former Qin army.

"The preparations for the city defense are good, but the speed of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is too slow!"

Wang Jing walked around the city wall and said.

"How many people are there outside now?"

he asked.

Du Fuwei said: "More than [-] people have entered the city, but Hukou City is too small to accommodate so many people. It is very difficult for other people to withdraw! We can only let them escape to the nearby mountains and forests. , to avoid the mopping up of the former Qin army!"

Wang Jing immediately said: "The mouth of the lake can't accommodate them, so these people will be sent to Laozishan camp by boat first, and the north bank of the Jinhu waterway will be temporarily resettled!"

"Every common people is the foundation of future national power, and we should not give up easily!"

"As for the food and materials consumed by these people, Sihong will provide them all. You don't have to worry!"

Du Fuwei naturally had no objection and agreed immediately.

"Where is the former Qin army now?"

"After they captured Liu Guangshi's camp, they have been resting in Nushan Lake!"

Hearing the question, Kan Leng, who was in charge of Hukou's defense, replied.

After personally feeling Wang Jing's aura, his attitude changed unconsciously, and he always answered Wang Jing's questions.

"Still resting?"

Wang Jing frowned slightly, not understanding Deng Qiang's thoughts.

At this time, he saw Fu Youde who was standing beside him as the personal guard of Qianhu, and asked casually, "What conspiracy did Youde think the former Qin army had? Why did you stand still after capturing Liu Guangshi?"

Fu Youde pondered slightly, without being modest, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"The last general thought that the former Qin army captured Liu Guangshi and threatened Hukou, but they didn't mean to take Hukou. Maybe the other party just wanted to restrain the king, so that the king could not personally lead the troops to Baoying and Gaoyou... "

He believes that as long as Deng Qiang is not stupid, he will know the gap between the former Qin army and the Huai army, and will not think about confronting the Huai army head-on.

It is easy to capture Hukou, but after taking Hukou, the Huai Army will center on the Laozishan camp and rely on the navy to block the Hukou.

The former Qin soldiers and Ma Shuijun were not good enough, so they could not pose a threat to the Huai army.

In Fu Youde's view.

Deng Qiang is now using a small number of soldiers and horses to contain Wang Jing, and most of the other troops are gathering the people and restoring their vitality.

"You are right, Deng Qiang may indeed do this!"

Wang Jing's face was calm and there was no abnormal expression.

Because of this possibility, he and Bu Zhi had thought of it a long time ago.

When he was in Sihong, his strategy was not that complicated. He only wanted to form an alliance with Du Fuwei, and then let him act as a shield against Deng Qiang.

But after he personally led the troops to Mount Laozi, he discovered that the two princes, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, seemed not weak, but they were actually not strong.

He only used [-] troops to sweep Fu Gongyou.

Even with his support, Du Fuwei couldn't resist the former Qin army. He needed to sit in Hukou himself to block Deng Qiang, a seventh-rank general.

It's okay to stay in Hukou for a short time.

Sitting in Hukou for a long time, how will Wang Jing attack the four princes of Huaidong?
The more I discussed with Bu Zhi, Han Xizai and others.

The more he felt that Deng Qiang of the former Qin Dynasty was a great threat to the Huai army.

"The last general thinks that before the king attacks Huaidong, it is best to mobilize the army to attack the former Qin army...Compared with Deng Qiang, the four princes of Huaidong seem to be powerful, but they are actually easy to attack!"

"And Deng Qiang's former Qin soldiers and horses seem to have little food and morale, but as long as he is given a chance, the former Qin army will pose a great threat to the king... Deng Qiang cannot be given the opportunity to continue to grow stronger!"

Fu Youde said in a deep voice.

Although he is not a scholar, he has read many military books and strategies, and he understands Deng Qiang's reputation and ability.

When he was at the Laozishan camp, he specifically consulted the scholars of the central government and the people from the military intelligence department, and had a better understanding of the former Qin army.

he feels.

Deng Qiang should be the strategic goal of the Huai army more than the four princes of Huaidong.
