Chapter 2341: The Battle of the Building Back(2/2)
"I heard that General Wang's son, Wang Ben, commanded the coalition forces of the Western Regions in the Western Regions, and even defeated the famous Sui general Yang Su. He was also an incredible general." Yu Jin suddenly said.
"That's not all. Wang Li, son of Wang Ben, and Wang Xuance, son of Prime Minister Wang Meng, are also rising stars among the younger generation in the army." Xu Huang said.
"If you put it this way, apart from the prime minister, the Wang family is full of talented goalkeepers." Zhang He said with a surprised look on his face.
"This is not true. When Prime Minister Wang Meng was the governor, he led the army many times and has never been defeated so far." Xu Huang said.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang He was even more surprised.
What kind of family is this, and how can it produce such a talented person?
"Unconsciously, the Japanese troops in the northeastern part of Kyushu were almost wiped out by General Wang Jian's vanguard army, while we, the main force, followed behind to clean up the battlefield."
This time, Zhou Yu did not call Wang Jian's unit the 'Pathfinder Pioneers', but directly called it the 'Vanguard Army'. After all, Wang Jian's record was so powerful that it was not appropriate to call him the Pathfinders again.
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, all the generals couldn't help but fell silent.
Their tens of thousands of powerful main force did not get any credit, but let the three thousand pioneers steal the limelight. Naturally, they would feel unhappy and have a desire to compare.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled calmly and said: "The march will speed up next, let the Japanese bastards know that General Wang Jian is not the only one who can fight in the Qin Dynasty."
"No." All the generals shouted in unison.
Following Zhou Yu's order, the main force of the Qin army, 20,000 cavalry and infantry, began to accelerate their march and headed towards Bungo Kingdom at full speed.
Since most of the traps on the way had been cleared by Wang Jian, the main force did not encounter any obstacles. It only took three days to catch up with Wang Jian's troops and successfully meet up in Bungo Kingdom.
After the two armies joined forces, Zhou Yu not only commended Wang Jian in public, made up for the lost troops, but also gave Wang Jian two thousand more troops.
Wang Jian's brilliance this time really stole the limelight from Zhou Yu, the governor-general, and caused him a lot of pressure.
If Zhou Yu was the kind of commander with a strong desire for control, he would naturally not allow his subordinates to outshine him, but he was not such a person. The pressure brought by Wang Jian only stimulated his competitive spirit.
In addition, who is Zhou Yu? As the Prince Consort of the Qin Dynasty and the only commander-in-chief of the navy in the Qin Dynasty, he cannot rely on suppressing his subordinates to maintain his authority. How can he control him if word of this spreads?
Moreover, Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of the four-nation allied force to conquer the Japanese. Wang Jian's victory in the battle was regarded as helping him. If he suppressed Wang Jian, wouldn't he be depriving himself of his own merit?
After Zhou Yu and Wang Jian reunited, 29,000 troops set off from Bunhou Kingdom and entered Chikuhou Kingdom from behind.
