"No, it's not enough."
Facing Xu Zhiling's gaze, Kuo Zhong shook his head and said in a deep voice,"If we take Jiangxia alone, our two prefectures will be divided.”
"Poyang Prefecture has just started, and Jiangzuo is our base camp.”
"If we want to seize Jiangxia, we have to seize Jiujiang as well.”
"The three counties are connected. With the advantage of ships, we can attack Jingxiang, Xiangchu, and defend Jiangzuo.”
Thud!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone's expression changed and became somewhat solemn.
It was already difficult to take over a county, let alone two counties at the same time.
Fortunately, Jiujiang County only governed three counties and had less than ten thousand people. The Sui army stationed there was weak.
The biggest problem was in Jiangxia County. Jiangxia, Wuchang, Yongxing, Puqi, which capital had thick walls and no less than 20,000 people?
"How is the situation in the two counties that the Embroidered Uniform Guards have investigated?”
At this moment, Kuo Zhong's gaze fell on Fu Junhao.
Swoosh!
The Commander of the Brocade Guards, Fu Junhao, stood up abruptly and reported,""Young Marshal!"
"Jiangxia County doesn't have any powerful martial arts forces. There's only the headquarters of the Great River Alliance.”
"The Great River Alliance was formed by the Yichun Sect, the Qingjiang Sect, the Cangwu Sect, the Jiangnan Guild, and other small sects in Jiangnan.”
"Jiang Xia County Governor Huang Ao, General Guardian Fei Meng, and County Governor Yu Wei are from the Huang, Fei, and Yu clans respectively.”
"Jiangxia has 50,000 soldiers stationed in Jiangxia County. The other three counties only have a few county soldiers.”
"Jiujiang County was already occupied by Cao Shiqi at the beginning of the year.”
"How are our military preparations?"
Then, Kuo Zhong looked at Xu Zhiling, Bu Tianzhi, and Old Mou Chen and asked.
Xu Zhiling was the first to speak." The 50,000 new soldiers are all selected from the disciples of Poyang Sect. Most of them are physically strong, and a few have internal energy.”
"At present, I can already do as I'm told. It's not a problem for me to go into battle.”
"Major!"
"It took me quite some time to become familiar with the forging workshop.”
"The weapons delivered to the army are only 3,000 small miaodao, 3,000 sets of iron armor and fine scale armor, 20,000 long spears, 9,000 throwing spears, and 50,000 feathered arrows.”
Instantly.
The atmosphere became a little tense.
Before this, most of the Poyang Sect's armor had already been melted down and turned into iron.
He was prepared to refine them into new weapons and use them as weapons for the marshal's army.
However, the time was too short. It had only been half a month, and the newly forged weapons and armor could not equip all the major generals.
"No worries!"
" Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Kuo Zhong ordered," From now on, our army will adjust its military system.”
"A thousand people will form a division with a Sima, and three thousand people will form a battalion with a lieutenant.”
"15,000 people in a regiment, with a middle-ranking general; 50,000 men for an army, set up a general, two armies for a guard, set up a guard general.”
"The first regiment is divided into a battalion of light soldiers, a battalion of archers, two battalions of spearmen, and a battalion of rattan soldiers.”
"Apart from the three battalions, there are five thousand cavalry in the middle and a cavalry commandant.”
"In addition, each prefecture will have 3,000 prefecture soldiers, and each county will have 1,200 county soldiers.”
"Ban the general guard. The county will have a county governor, county lieutenant, and county governor. The county will have a county magistrate, county lieutenant, and county governor.”
"The former manages the government, the officers lead the troops, and the officers assist the government. They each have their own duties and do not interfere with each other!”
"Yan Kuan is appointed as Poyang County Lieutenant, while Niu Fengyi, Zha Jie, Wei Yuan, Bao Zhifu, Ma Gui, Shi Jie, and Wen Qin are appointed as county captains.”
"Yes."
Bu Tianzhi immediately responded.
The newly appointed county captains and county captains were all first-class experts. There were more than ten thousand soldiers in total. It should not be a problem to protect Poyang County in a short period of time.
"I remember that there are tens of thousands of sabers, 3,000 horned bows, and 9,000 leather armors in the treasury.”
"Take it out and fill up three regiments. Jin Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong will be Jiujiang Lieutenant General, Poyang Lieutenant General, and Bai Rong will be Pengze Lieutenant General.”
"Xie Yingdeng will be the Jiangxia Lieutenant General and lead a regiment of soldiers to attack Jiangxia with me!”
"Young Master Ling, take Gui Xiliang and Bai Rong to attack Jiujiang.”
"Recruit another 50,000 new soldiers and let Poyang Zhonglang train them.”
After pondering for a moment, Kuo Zhong made a decision.
"Yes."
Xu Zhiling gladly accepted the order.
Cao Shiqi, who was stationed in Jiujiang, was the leader of Poyang Faction. He led his troops into Jiujiang because he was no match for Lin Shihong. Most of the 30,000 people under him were sect disciples, and they were far less powerful than the Sui army. Xu Zhiling and his 30,000 troops were enough to crush him.
In comparison, Kuo Zhong had led 15,000 troops to attack Jiangxia and had to face 50,000 Sui soldiers. This was the biggest obstacle.
Of course, Kuo Zhong's group had Xie Yingdeng, who was in the early stage of Grandmaster, Wang Junke, and You Junda, who were half-step Grandmasters. They also had a hundred Mo Saber Soldiers and a hundred Divine Arm Crossbow Soldiers. In addition, they had all the same bronze ring Goose Feather Saber, iron armor, fine scale armor, javelin, English longbow, and Xiaomiao Saber. They were armed to the teeth.
"Mister Bu."
"We can start choosing the candidates for the Prefectural Governor of Jiujiang and the Prefectural Governor of Jiangxia.”
"In addition, the candidates for the various county magistrates and county mayors can also be selected.”
"This time, I'm going to completely wipe out the aristocratic families of the two counties and uproot them.”
Kuo Zhong said in a deep voice, his eyes cold and sharp.
"Yes."
Bu Tianzhi's body trembled as he hurriedly responded.
The rules had already been set when the marshal's army was established. If any aristocratic family dared to resist, they would be killed without mercy!
The aristocratic families of Poyang County were all killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guards that night, leaving only a few obedient ones.
Jiujiang County and Jiangxia County were not like Poyang. The local aristocratic families had existed for thousands of years and were deeply rooted.
If he didn't use lightning fast methods, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of them completely.
One had to know that Poyang had 30,000 more fertile land and a population of 20,000 just by checking the fields and servants this month.
This was the reason why Kuo Zhong dared to use all the troops of the major general's army to attack two counties at the same time.
This was because all the citizens of Poyang were grateful to the marshal's army and were willing to go through fire and water for Kuo Zhong.
The Marshal's Army allowed the people to get what they wanted, which was land to the tiller. This was a very small request that the Great Sui, which was built on the foundation of aristocratic families, could not fulfill. The local aristocratic families even treated the people as livestock.
On this day, the entire Poyang Prefecture underwent earth-shattering changes. The prefecture and county soldiers were organized into groups.
The forty-five thousand strong army was reorganized, and fifteen hundred ships were docked at Poyang Pier by Penglize. The first two hundred ships carried the regiment led by Kuo Zhong, while the remaining twelve hundred ships carried the two regiments led by Xu Zhiling.
In the evening, the sunset shone on the lake. The water and sky were one color. 1,500 boats sailed out of the reeds and entered the river.
One thousand and two hundred of them were docked at Hukou and Lianxi. Xu Zhiling ordered Poyang Zhonglang Xing Rong to lead fifteen thousand troops to seize Hukou, while he led fifteen thousand troops to land at Lianxi Pier and kill their way into Jiujiang County City at night.
