At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

More importantly, the people of Zhunian seem to have started a partial counterattack.

The injection chariot army armed with excellent weapons counterattacked the Jerome army in groups, and defeated the Jerome army steadily.

The frontline generals tried to force the Zhuan army to retreat by attacking the grain road, but they soon discovered that this was also a trap. The opponent had already set up an ambush, and when they thought they had succeeded, the ambush troops rushed out.

Their tactic of attacking the grain road was only executed once, but it failed helplessly because they were attacked by ambushes.

On the entire battlefield, although the Jerome army seemed to be on the offensive and the Zhuan army was on the defensive, the situation has always been firmly controlled by the Zhuan army.

The Zhe Luo army in the city was very excited when they saw the reinforcements coming. They opened the city gate several times to attack, but they were all beaten back by the chariot army occupying the obstacle defense.

The Zhuan army hid behind obstacles, protected themselves with shields, and attacked the Jerome soldiers who left the city with spears, like a big hedgehog, making the Jerome army helpless and unable to break through.

The two sides are close at hand, but they can't get close to each other, just like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way by the Queen Mother.

It's a pity that their luck was even worse. Without the magpie dedicating himself to build a bridge for them, they still couldn't cross the [Galaxy] built by the Zhuan army.

This made King Zhu Nian very excited. He asked Wang Haibo when it was time for the main force to fight. He couldn't wait to see the defeat of Zeruo's army.

But Wang Haibo said that there is no need to worry, whoever can hold his breath at this time will be the final winner.

According to his many years of experience in participating in battles, the side that can't hold back and crazily attacks is often the loser.

At the same time, through the tempering of battles, the first group of spearmen in the Zhuan army also accumulated a lot of combat experience.

Before, when this army was about to go to the battlefield, none of the generals of the Zhuian Kingdom were willing to stand up and command the army, and all looked at Wang Haibo.

Because he led the tactical training, the soldiers were familiar with his orders.

King Zhunian thought over and over again and decided to ask Wang Haibo to take command on his behalf.

At that time, Wang Haibo felt that the world was crazy. The king of this country actually gave him command of the army and asked him to go to the battlefield on his behalf.

That's really weird, isn't it?

"You really trust me?"

Wang Haibo asked in disbelief.

"The generals say that they don't have the confidence to command this army better than you. You are the trainer of this army. They are used to you, and you are used to them, so it is best to let you command it. I am also the trainer of this army. There is no other way."

King Zhuren said with a smile: "I hope to see a victory. This victory is really important to me."

Wang Haibo took a deep breath.

"If you trust me, I will do my best."

He felt that he was helping the Zhunian Kingdom to fight the war, gaining the results of the battle and the trust of the other party, and it would also facilitate Guo Jun's actions in the future.

At that time, Wang Haibo didn't think so much.

In fact, he has a bit of language talent.

After staying with this group of people for a long time, I learned a lot of local languages ​​through translation.

On the eve of the war, they could basically understand what they said without an interpreter. Of course, an interpreter was still needed to communicate with each other, but Wang Haibo could already carry out some daily conversations independently.

So commanding an army is not difficult, especially if the army is only 1000 people.

Wang Haibo didn't find it difficult.

Half a month after the battle, Wang Haibo judged that Zheluo Kingdom had reached the point of [going all out, then declining, and exhausting three times], so he suggested a decisive battle.

Wang Haibo led the elite army he personally trained on the battlefield, crossed the blockade, and opened the prelude to the counterattack.

Unsurprisingly, Wang Haibo led this elite army to smash the Jerome army directly opposite, and fled them all the way to the garrison camp.

Then Wang Haibo set fire everywhere in the camp of Zhe Luo's army, causing huge chaos and finally triggering a chain reaction.

The small number of chariot injection troops beat the superior Jerome army to the ground, the whole army retreated, the dead stepped forward, and thousands of prisoners were defeated.

The reinforcements were defeated, and the Zheluo army in the city was dying. After King Zhuren promised that he would never rob or burn the city after entering the city, the guard opened the city gate, formally surrendered, and dedicated the city to the Zhuren Kingdom.

This battle finally ended with the victory of the Zhuren Kingdom.

The Zheluo Kingdom lost its troops and lost its land, not only lost thousands of soldiers, but also lost important border cities, tens of thousands of residents in the cities, and important defensive fortresses, which opened up the traffic arteries leading to the hinterland of the country.

The Zhuyan Kingdom, which controlled the border area, broke through the barriers of the Zheluo Kingdom in one fell swoop, allowing them to advance and attack, and retreat to defend, and gained the military initiative to fight against the Zheluo Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The first battle was won, and many were seized. All the military supplies of the Zheluo army became the spoils of the chariot army. The storage and military equipment in the city also became spoils, including the people in the city.

The more than [-] prisoners of war captured were all young men, a huge productive force. King Zhunian immediately found Wang Haibo, rewarded him for his victory, and asked him to do business with these prisoners of war in exchange for armaments.

Spears and knives.

Spears can be said to shine in this battle.

Because it is very long, it is not only very sharp for offense, but also quite sharp for defense. Under the cover of shield soldiers, I don't know how many Zerro soldiers who attacked came to death.

Moreover, most of them didn't wear armor themselves, they only wore tattered clothes, they couldn't stop the spear attack at all, they were pierced through their bodies with one blow, and died tragically on the spot.

This brilliant victory made King Zhunian more interested in the weapons and tactics of the Wei Empire, and he desperately hoped to get more from Wang Haibo to enhance the military strength of the Zhunian Kingdom.

So he rewarded Wang Haibo, appointed Wang Haibo as the commander of this elite force, and served as a training instructor for other armies to train for him.

Then he sent more than ten assistants to Wang Haibo - all excellent young people who belonged to the royal family, or were related to the royal family.

Chapter 1503 One Thousand 440

Wang Haibo certainly knew what King Zhunian was thinking.

It would be better to say that without such an arrangement, Wang Haibo would feel that there is something wrong with the king.

So Wang Haibo wasn't worried at all.

He himself is only a mid-level and lower-level officer, with limited knowledge, he simply cannot master the commanding skills of more troops and higher combat techniques.

The Zhuren people learned a little combat skills with less than 1000 people, and it could not pose any threat to the Wei army who was good at fighting with large corps.

Moreover, training takes time, and it takes time to train an army. It takes a lot of time, and there are many actual combat exercises, and there must be a spirit.

They couldn't train Wei Jun for several years.

After Guo Jun learned about this matter, Guo Jun fell into deep thought. After careful consideration, Guo Jun had a conversation with Wang Haibo.

"You have gained their trust now. They have a certain trust in you, and even let you get in touch with their royal family, lead the army, train the army, and have a certain degree of internal secrets. I think this is a good opportunity."

"Young master, what kind of opportunity is this?"

Wang Haibo didn't know what Guo Jun meant.

"I mean, Hai Bo, what do you think we need to gain a foothold in this place?"

"what do you need?"

After thinking about it, Wang Haibo didn't quite understand Guo Jun's meaning: "My lord, if you want to establish a firm foothold here, what you need is the army and the population. If the army defeats them, the population will occupy this place, and then we will build our Xishu Kingdom, isn't it? Is that so?"

"So I thought the same way. I thought it would be easy to establish the Western Shu Kingdom, but..."

Guo Jun touched her chin, her sexy beard gradually formed: "The Zhuren Kingdom has a population of 80 million. How many people should the Zheluo Kingdom have? These two small countries have more than 100 people. How many people is there in such a small country?"

"Young master, what do you mean?"

"I mean, Wei Guo, how many people can support us?"

Guo Jun looked at Wang Haibo: "Will the Wei State support our population as many as 100 million? No, Hai Bo, my father told me that the Wei State will only support my population of 50 at most, at most, 50. Not more.

There are more than one million people in two small countries. The number of indigenous people on this land is far beyond our imagination. Only by ourselves, it is impossible to reproduce so many people in 100 years. On this land, We are a complete minority.

If we want to occupy this place, develop and grow, and establish a powerful Xishu Kingdom, we cannot rely on our own population of 50. We need more people, more people, and an army. "

Wang Haibo opened his mouth.

He found that he seemed to understand what Guo Jun meant.

"My lord, what do you mean, we can't treat these small countries with a pure method of destruction?"

"Yes, it can't be purely exterminated, it can't just be pure slavery, because we have few people, it is difficult for us to control the number of indigenous people who are several times, ten times, or even ten times larger than us. If we want to control, we must have some people Come help us."

Guo Jun pointed to the outside of the barracks: "Just like we control those prisoners of war and let them work, we don't need to take action directly. What we need is to support those among them, those who have mastered the control over them. A person with power over life and death.

As you have seen, if we are the masterminds, those people will soon become our accomplices after gaining the power of life and death. They will not think about resisting us, but will think about how to use their power to live Get a better life and get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

If we set some standards for them, such as how much work is done every day, and how much they can do every day, they can get some rewards, some rewards, food, drink, play and even women, they will work harder Hard work! "

Wang Haibo already understood Guo Jun's intentions.

"My lord, do you want to use these people, choose some people from them who can cooperate with us in governing the local area, use them, control a large number of indigenous people, and then we will live on top of them, so as to facilitate governance?"

"Hahahaha, not bad, you already understand what I mean."

Guo Jun laughed: "With us alone, even if there are as many as 50 people, it will be difficult to manage so many indigenous people, and direct conflicts will easily arise. At that time, we will face endless resistance. There are only so many of us, and sooner or later we will lighting.

But if we make full use of the locals, give them benefits, give them benefits, and let them squeeze the locals instead of us, we don’t have to face the locals directly. The local natives will be resentful, and they will be even more resentful of those who cooperate with us, rather than we.

My own betrayer is always more worthy of hatred than the real enemy. This point was discovered and used by my father, and then I discovered that it may not only be used to deal with prisoners of war, but it is not impossible to use it to govern the local area, isn't it? "

"Govern the local..."

Wang Haibo was silent for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized.

"Young master, do you want me to use my identity, and the fact that King Zhu Nian trusts me, to find someone among them who is willing to cooperate with us?"

"Of course, I want you to use your identity to cultivate and discover some people who are willing to cooperate with us."

Guo Jun pointed to Wang Haibo: "What you want to pass on to them is the idea that our Wei country is omnipotent, our Wei country is strong in everything, and every point of our Wei country is better than them, let them believe .

You have to make them believe that we are much stronger than them, not only in weapons, but also in many aspects that are stronger, more powerful, and more promising. Compared with us, they themselves are dwarfed by us, and they are not as good as anywhere. "

"Isn't that true?"

Wang Haibo was a little puzzled.

Of course, the Zhuian Kingdom cannot be compared with the Wei Empire anywhere. Compared with the Wei Empire in any point, it is very backward.

Whether it is economy, politics, military, technology, infrastructure, etc., Wei Empire, a county with a large population, can beat them.

If Guo Peng could agree to give Guo Jun the power of a county, Guo Jun would have been able to lead his troops to pacify the Zhuan Kingdom long ago.

But the problem is that the Wei Empire is not here, and even a county cannot be brought here. It is not easy to send more than 1 of them here.

To move a county here, based on the current shipping capacity of the Wei Empire, it would take more than ten round trips.

It will take at least four years to do it, and it is still under the premise that there will be no storms at sea.

This is simply not realistic.

Therefore, it is necessary to use limited power to show the infinitely bright distance, and make them believe that Guo Jun's smallness cannot represent the power of the Wei Empire at all, and is as strong and indestructible as the Wei Empire.

"Of course this is the truth, but they don't know it. You have to do everything possible to let them know and convince them, so that they will admire us. In the future when we annex the Zhuren Kingdom, don't stand on the side of King Zhuren, but rather Be on our side."

Guo Jun's ambition surprised Wang Haibo.

Isn't it treason to take our side instead of theirs?

"For them, this is treason, right?"

"Apart from the royal family and bureaucrats, who would think that they are from the country? The so-called country does not know the people, but the people do not know the country. Hai Bo, I heard that you were born in poverty. You joined the army early. to culture, right?"

"Yes, the kindness of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty to the general will never be forgotten by the general. Without me, Wei, the subordinates would have starved to death."

Wang Haibo's voice was a little low, probably because he remembered the unbearable things in the past.

"Well, there are many, many people like you. Former Han, no one cares about you. You can only be abandoned and starved to death. Wei Guo will give you food, let you learn culture, and become military officers. , Official, so, do you miss the former Han?"

"how is this possible?"

Wang Haibo shook his head again and again.

"Compared to us, Zhuren Kingdom is like the former Han Dynasty."

Guo Jun shook her head: "To this day, I can understand how great things my father has done. The former emperors only regarded ordinary people as production tools and did not treat them as human beings, but my father regarded them as human beings.

Let them read and practice calligraphy, let them have enough food, let them have the opportunity to be officials, they can be military officers, and change their situation, so people like you appear, and people like you, in Zhulan Kingdom, have ? "

Guo Jun's question made Wang Haibo think for a while, recalling the people he saw in Zhuan Kingdom.

Then he shook his head decisively.

"No, the civilians in Zhulan Kingdom are just like the subordinates who were about to starve to death, just lingering on their last days."

"So, they don't care about changing who is the ruler, and they don't care whether the name of the country is Zhuan or Xishu. It's the same for them anyway. As long as the powerful and powerful fail, they will be ruled by us honestly. .”
