Ta…
Soon, the marquises and 200 - 500 lords under Yang Chen's command all arrived at his tent.
"Greetings, Lieutenant!"
"Greetings, Lieutenant!"
……
Many soldiers bowed respectfully to Yang Chen.
Now that Yang Chen's reputation had shaken the army, even though they saw that Yang Chen was very young, they did not dare to be impudent.
Now that they were able to fight under the leadership of such a fierce person, they were all excited and looking forward to it.
Yang Chen nodded slightly.
Soon, the three Marquises, the nine 200 - 500 Lords under the Marquises, and the 200 - 500 Lord Wang Jian who led Yang Chen's 1,000-man personal guards, all 13 of them had arrived.
At this moment, Wang Jian had just received the order to be transferred to Yang Chen's subordinates to become the general of Yang Xiaowei's personal guards. Hence, he had rushed over immediately after receiving the order.
"Oh, I believe everyone already knows that from today onwards, you will be my subordinates!”
Yang Chen looked at the thirteen people below and spoke softly.
The team he led had a total of ten thousand people.
These 13 people were the generals in charge of these 10,000 people.
"We know that it is our honor to be Lieutenant Yang's subordinates!”
Everyone saluted and cupped their fists.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded slightly.
He didn't waste any more words and got to know everyone.
After a long discussion of military matters, everyone left the lieutenant's tent.
However, there was still someone who did not leave, and that was Wang Jian.
"Lieutenant!"
Wang Jian cupped his fists and spoke to Yang Chen, guessing that Yang Chen probably had something to explain.
"Hehe, you don't have any dissatisfaction with the commander of my personal guards, right?”
Yang Chen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
As he spoke, Yang Chen stared at Wang Jian.
"Lieutenant, you're too kind. It's my honor to be trusted by you, how could I be dissatisfied?”
Wang Jian bowed to Yang Chen and said.
When he first entered the tent, he did feel a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Just a few days ago, the two of them were both hundred generals and had equal status. However, in just a few days, although he had become two or five hundred lords, the other party had suddenly risen to lieutenant.
Now, he had even become his subordinate!
However, the bitterness only lasted for a moment before he was enlightened.
The military was a place that emphasized strength and military achievements.
The other party's strength and battle achievements shocked the entire army. To be able to become the subordinate of such an illustrious figure and fight with him, even he was quite happy.
Moreover, through contact, he could feel that this lieutenant, who was much younger than him, was not just brave.
Especially when they were discussing military matters just now. The other party had clearly only entered the army for a year, but he was like a veteran who had been in the army for decades. He was extremely familiar with all kinds of military affairs and could do it easily.
Even he, who was familiar with military books, felt inferior.
Such a character would have terrifying achievements in the future.
Now that he had become the general of his personal guards, if he could gain the other party's trust, he would definitely be able to rise quickly.
"Yes!" Yang Chen looked at the respectful and serious Wang Jian and nodded slightly, expressing his approval.
"Don't worry, if you fight with me, you'll have a chance to make a name for yourself!”
"Yes, lieutenant!"
Wang Jian respectfully cupped his hands.
"Alright, when we were discussing military matters just now, I saw that your knowledge was quite extraordinary. I want to hear your views on the upcoming war!”
Soon, Yang Chen turned to the main topic.
When Wang Jian heard Yang Chen's question, his expression was slightly solemn. He mused for a moment and said,
"Lieutenant, our Qin country has been attacking Shangdang County ever since King Zhaoxiang of Qin. Although Zhao has sent many troops to defend, after the Battle of Changping, Zhao's strength has declined. Now that the King of Zhao is muddle-headed and incompetent, he no longer has the strength to protect Shangdang Prefecture. In addition, Licheng has been taken, so Zhao will not dare to send any more troops to defend. The other cities are not strong enough, so it won't be difficult to break through. I'm afraid that the general will split his forces to attack…"
Yang Chen nodded his head slightly. Immediately, he chatted with Wang Jian about the situation of the other cities in Shangdang in detail, as well as the amount of troops needed to break through the city, the time needed, and so on.
Yang Chen had an idea of what was going to happen next and began to prepare for the battle.
Soon, a few days later!
Finally, an order came from the marshal's residence.
All the lieutenants gathered in the hall of the marshal's residence.
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. He knew that the army was preparing to attack the Shangdang cities.
He didn't hesitate and quickly rushed to the hall.
In the hall.
The old general Wang He stood solemnly at the head of the group. Below him were the generals and lieutenants of the various tribes. There were more than ten of them.
"Everyone, it has been a few days since the army took Li City. The situation of the Zhao army has also been investigated. From the current situation, there are no other Zhao troops to reinforce Shangdang…"
Wang He quickly said to the crowd.
Everyone listened with solemn expressions.
"Thus, this marshal has decided to immediately send troops to conquer Shangdang's cities!”
Hearing that Wang He was preparing to send troops to attack Shangdang's cities, the eyes of the generals lit up.
Many of the generals had some understanding of the situation in the cities of Shangdang County. It was not difficult to lead troops to conquer them. It could be said that this was a great opportunity to obtain military achievements, so all the generals were extremely tempted.
"This marshal is preparing to divide three armies to attack Shangdang's cities from three sides. Are there any generals willing to lead troops?”
"General, I'm willing to go!"
"General, I request to fight!"
"General, this general will definitely take down the Shangdang cities!”
……
In an instant, many generals stood out, wanting to lead their troops.
Great Qin's soldiers loved to fight, and the upcoming battles would not be too difficult. As such, everyone rushed to lead their soldiers into battle.
"Hmm?" Wang He looked at the generals who had stepped forward and raised his white eyebrows.
"Although there aren't many guards in Shangdang County, they can't be underestimated. Furthermore, you need to make a military pledge to lead the troops. If you lose or can't conquer the city, you will lose your title! Behead!"
Wang He looked at the generals and said seriously.
When the generals heard this, their hearts trembled slightly.
They were not afraid of death, but if their titles were taken away, it would be worse than death!
"Who is willing to go and how many troops do you need?”
Wang He solemnly looked around and said.
"General, I'm willing to go. I only need 50,000 soldiers!”
Soon, a lieutenant stood up and said loudly.
Everyone's expression did not change as they listened. It would not be difficult for them to lead 50,000 soldiers to conquer the cities. They could easily do it.
Wang He was silent as he looked at the other generals.
"General, I only need forty thousand soldiers!”
Soon, a burly middle-aged commandant stood out and said.
40,000!
Everyone's expression tensed up slightly. If it was 40,000 troops, they needed to be experienced in commanding troops and deal with them carefully. Otherwise, accidents would easily occur.
Wang He nodded approvingly, then looked at the crowd and said solemnly,
"Are there any more?"
Soon, two more lieutenants stepped forward, also requesting forty thousand soldiers.
Wang He nodded. Looking at these three men, who were all experienced commanders, he felt that they were worthy.
However, to send out 120,000 troops at once, and to divide them to defend against the Zhao army, and to also need a portion to defend Li City, the troops were really tight!
He pondered, considering whether he should use them.
At this moment!
"General, this general is also willing to go. This general only needs 30,000 soldiers!”
A young voice suddenly sounded from the back of the hall.
