When Wang Li finished reading Wang Teng's letter, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his tense face.
"There's no need to panic, the danger of breaking through has been resolved!”Wang Li said slowly.
Everyone looked at Wang Li questioningly. Then, Wang Li killed Liu Hui with Wang Teng's hundred cavalry, defended Scattered Pass, and defeated five thousand troops of the Liu Family with a thousand elites.
All the generals were stunned when they heard this. Such a huge crisis had actually been easily resolved by the Young Master. He had killed more than 5,000 people. The Young Master had only used a partial army but had achieved a more brilliant record than the main force. This was too amazing!
A young man who had just fallen behind the times had actually created such a huge miracle. The generals could not help but sigh in disbelief!
"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord! The young lord has just entered the army, but he has already displayed extraordinary talent. My lord has a successor, and San Guan has a successor!”Yang Chong smiled and cupped his hands at Wang Li.
"Congratulations, my lord!" The generals congratulated him.
"Hahaha!" Wang Li was in a good mood when he learned that San Guan was fine. After hearing Yang Chong's flattery, although he was already overjoyed, he still said humbly,"That kid is still far from it. He only has 5,000 soldiers. There's nothing to be proud of!”
Although Wang Li said that there was nothing to be proud of, his face was full of pride. His son was outstanding, so how could he not be happy?
Wang Li's greatest pride in his life was that he had a virtuous wife who shared his worries, and the other was that he had a son who could be called a monster.
If the Wang Clan could finally occupy the Chu Land and fight for hegemony, then Wang Li would truly be the biggest winner in life!
Seeing that everyone was praising his nephew, Wang Jian also chuckled. As a martial arts practitioner, his thoughts were very simple. He would leave the troublesome matters to his elder brother and be responsible for charging into the enemy's line of battle. At the same time, he would protect the younger generation.
Previously, Wang Jian had spoken out against Yang Chong because of personal reasons. He was actually very conflicted. He had seen Yang Chong's contribution to the Scattered Gates. Although he did not say it, he was very grateful. However, he did not like scholars. It was impossible for Wang Jian to please Yang Chong.
However, speaking of which, since ancient times, how many civil and military officials could see eye to eye with each other!
"Since Young Master can quell the rebellion in San Pass, I believe that it is more than enough to guard San Pass. My lord, why don't you hand over all the matters in San Pass to Young Master? I believe that Young Master will definitely not disappoint you!”Yang Chong said seriously.
Yang Chong, who was extremely intelligent, could see the key to Wang Tengping's victory at a glance. Wang Teng did not have an official position, so how did he command the generals in San Guan?
The only way was to pass down a fake military order!
A twenty-year-old youth passing down a false military order and wading through an army of a hundred thousand. Regardless of anything else, just this courage alone was simply outrageous!
Although passing down military orders was a major crime, the law could not be imposed on the supreme. Wang Teng was Wang Li's only son, and he had just made a great contribution. Naturally, he would not, and could not, be punished.
However, this trend could not be allowed to continue. Otherwise, everyone would fake military orders. Wouldn't that be a mess? That was why Yang Chong reminded Wang Li to cover up Wang Teng's lie, and then let Wang Teng do whatever he wanted.
Although this move was self-deceiving, it was still not too late to make up for it!
In fact, even if Yang Chong didn't say anything, Wang Li would have done it. He couldn't let Wang Teng have any stain on his reputation.
"Since that's the case, I'll make Wang Teng a partial general and temporarily control all the troops in San Pass. I'll transfer the Wolf Guards and Wolf Cavalry to be my main force and manage the battle against Great Xiongnu.”
In the military system of the Chu army, the partial generals and deputy generals were the lowest ranking generals. Above them were the miscellaneous generals, titled generals, and so on.
Although Wang Li had the title of Marquis of San Guan, his official position was only the prefect of San Guan and the general of the north. The highest rank he could confer was the rank of partial general.
Currently, there was only one person in the Wang Clan's army who had reached the rank of Deputy General, and that was the Fourth Master, Wang Jian. The highest rank after him was Lieutenant, and Wang Teng was a Deputy General as soon as he arrived. This speed had indeed set the fastest record since the army was established in Scattered Pass.
However, the generals were not dissatisfied at all. It was not because Wang Teng was the son of the lord or the young master, but because the young master's battle achievements were fought with real swords and spears.
Who could defeat five thousand head-on?
He couldn't accept it!
"Lord, although San Pass is safe in the short term, it will inevitably lead to death in the long run. This subordinate suggests that it is better to send some reinforcements.”Yang Chong continued to suggest.
Wang Teng's letter did not mention that he needed reinforcements. After all, Wang Li's side had to fight against the 100,000 Heavenly Saint Army with three large armies, and their situation was not much better than his. However, Yang Chong felt that the situation in San Pass was more dangerous. Although 100,000 Heavenly Saint Army soldiers seemed to be a lot, they were definitely not comparable to 80,000 Great Huns!
"Military advisor, is one battalion enough?" Wang Li asked.
The Wang family's military system consisted of a battalion of 2,000 people, a reinforced battalion of 3,000 people, and the cavalry were all reinforced. In this era, the Prince's army had 15,000 elite cavalry and a total of five battalions of cavalry.
"Counterattack might not be enough, but defense is enough. The fact that the Young Lord could quell the Wang Clan's rebellion so quickly had already sufficiently proved his ability. The lord should have more confidence in the Young Lord!”Yang Chong smiled.
How could Yang Chong know that Wang Teng not only wanted to counterattack, but also wanted to make Tie Kuangtu stay behind? And his 3,000 cavalrymen were like timely rain.
"Alright, which general is willing to lead troops to save San Guan?”Wang Li nodded and asked the generals.
"Chen Di is willing to go!" Inspector Wang stood up and said.
"You can't!" Wang Li said without thinking.
"Why?" Wang Jian asked with his eyes wide open, not understanding why his elder brother didn't want him to go.
"Fourth brother, you are an infantry general.”
"But I've also led cavalry before.”
"That won't do either. You'll still need to contribute in the final battle with the Heavenly Saint Army, so there's no need to say anything more.”Wang Li berated without any politeness.
Wang Jian had no choice but to retreat. He had wanted to help his little nephew, but in the end, he had failed and had to give his elder brother a lecture. How unlucky!
Wang Li didn't let Wang Jian out of the formation because of what he said. It was because Wang Jian's prestige in the army was very high. Wang Teng had just taken control of the army. If Wang Jian came, it would form a situation where the commander was small.
With Wang Jian around, Wang Teng would definitely be restrained. In order not to affect his son's performance, Wang Li had to send someone who did not have enough prestige to suppress Wang Teng!
However, Wang Li didn't expect that no one would step forward after the Qin inspection. The reason why no one volunteered was simple. Xiongnu was a tough nut to crack, and San Guan was obviously on the defensive. How could they get credit faster than Dai County?
Wang Li naturally understood this point, but seeing that no one was willing to go, he was still disappointed. Just as he was about to personally select someone, he saw a burly young general with a determined appearance stand up.
"I'm willing to go!"
Wang Li was overjoyed when he saw this person step forward. He smiled and said,"Wishing in the air, there's no need to worry about breaking through!”
"Ling Kong, accept the order!"
The young general who volunteered was none other than Ling Kong, the general that Wang Li relied heavily on. This person was mature at a young age and had the potential to be a Great General.
Garrisoning Scattered Pass was a major turning point in Wang Li's career. Although the battles in Scattered Pass continued, it laid a solid foundation for the Wang Clan's future growth.
More importantly, after successfully defending against the invasion of the Great Xiongnu, Wang Li's reputation for being wise, brave, and righteous was completely spread. From then on, no one in the world knew of the name of the Governor of San Pass, Wang Li.
Wen Da, Wen Yuan, Ling Kong, and Yang Chong only took the initiative to join Wang Li after this. It was enough to show how much benefits Wang Li had gained from rebuilding the scattered passes!
