I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Next, Guan Shouchang did not stay here any longer, but went to the south city.

Bai Wuan sat down with the captured generals.

He naturally took over the military power of these troops and asked the generals of each corps to report to him the remaining number of people in each corps.

Then Bai Wuan selected more than a dozen corps, forming an elite force of 100,000 soldiers, and all of them joined the Longxiang Army. The number of the ten corps remained unchanged, as long as they were filled up.

Then, he demoted the incompetent generals to lieutenant generals and appointed his own confidants as generals.

Guan Shouchang did not send a Yan person to serve as deputy commander of the Longxiang Army, nor did he intend to interfere in this legion. He left the decision to Bai Wuan.

Bai Wuan then continued to appoint Huan Qi as his deputy commander.

Then, more than a dozen generals quickly selected the soldiers from the Longxiang Army.

As for the Qin army that was not selected, they were dejected and very unhappy. Bai Wuan went to do ideological work on them personally, telling them that it didn't matter which legion they were in, they had to fight hard and not tarnish the reputation of the Qin warriors.

The Longxiang Army left behind 100,000 regular troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops (fire troops, baggage camp, food camp, etc.), and the rest were sent to the other three legions.

Guan Shouchang, Chen Qing and Su Wuan came in person to lead the troops and divided up the remaining surrendered soldiers according to the number of casualties in each legion.

Then there are the supplies of baggage, food, military pay, etc. There are plenty of these in Xianyang City, so they don’t have to worry.

Afterwards, they chose a confiscated house in the south of the city and used it as the temporary headquarters of the Yan army, where all the generals held meetings.

In the afternoon, the White Horse Army finally returned.

The south gate opened, and Zhao Biao led the White Horse Army and marched in in a mighty procession. Not long after entering the city, he saw Guan Shouchang and others welcoming him.

"Hahahaha, General Guan, do you have any food? We're starving!"

As soon as Zhao Biao came in, he burst into laughter. He seemed very proud and made the Sichuan Army suffer terribly.

"Of course, your barracks are ready. There are steaming hot meals inside. If you come with us, we have prepared a banquet for you."

"No hurry, no hurry. I'll settle the troops first. They've suffered a lot along the way."

"it is good."

By the time Zhao Biao had settled the White Horse Army, it was almost evening.

Guan Shouchang sent someone to invite Bai Wuan and several commanders of the Yan army to sit together for a drink and exchange feelings.

Zhao Biao seemed a little reserved in front of Bai Wuan. Guan Shouchang asked him what was wrong. Zhao Biao drank a glass of wine and stammered,

"I was defeated by him in the beginning. How embarrassing."

Everyone laughed, Bai Wuan raised his glass and toasted Zhao Biao, saying,

"General Zhao's name is well-known to me. Back then, outside Xingqing Prefecture, your Iron Harrier caused me quite a bit of trouble."

Zhao Biao once fought against Bai Wuan in Tianshui County of Liang State, but was defeated.

Later, he was transferred to the east to fight against the Qi army. Bai Wuan defeated the army of Tianshui County and marched north.

Later, Zhao Biao recommended Zhao Kuo to lead 400,000 strong men to resist Bai Wuan, but they were all buried alive by Bai Wuan.

Finally, in order to defect to the State of Yan, Zhao Biao sent the Iron Harrier Cavalry, who were loyal to the royal family of Liang, to fight the Qin army and die. He took advantage of the Qin army's siege to attack the rear of the Qin army, and he took the White Horse Army directly to defect to the State of Yan.

It can be said that Zhao Biao and Bai Wuan have a deep connection.

It was getting dark, and just as everyone was toasting each other, a scout suddenly came to report outside.

"Reporting to the commander, the Sichuan troops have arrived ten miles south of the city and are setting up camp."

"Understood, let's go down."

Guan Shou sighed and said,

"We've been running around for so long these past few days. We were still fighting last night, and the army has been busy all day today. The Sichuan Army is here again. We really don't have a moment to rest.

Chen Qing, how are your defenses prepared? Don't let the enemy attack us at night."

"Don't worry, General Guan, I guarantee it will be foolproof. I have arranged two shifts of defenders. If the enemy attacks, they can hold out for a while until our army arrives to support them."

"That's good. Our army is large, but we are all very tired. We will take turns guarding the city for the next few days. Once everyone has rested and General Bai's troops have been reorganized, we can start the battle."

Guan Shouchang picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Bai Wuan said seriously,

"General Guan, I think defending the city is not a wise move."

"I know it's not a wise move, but the soldiers are exhausted and your army hasn't been fully integrated yet, so it's not suitable to initiate an attack."

"No, General Guan, although the soldiers are tired, they haven't been marching or fighting during the day, and there are ample food and fodder available. After a good night's sleep, they will recover.

As for the troops of the Longxiang Army, although they had just been integrated, their predecessors were the legitimate central army of the Qin State, and their combat effectiveness and combat experience were excellent.

Even though it has been reorganized now, the organization is complete and the flags and drums are still there.

Although the big banner has not been completed yet, my white general flag is still there. If you give us some Yan State flags, it will be enough to mobilize the entire army.

Our two armies fought a battle last night, and their hands are in high spirits and their bodies are adapting to the battle. It can be said that as long as they have enough food, drink and sleep, they will be full of energy again.

What's more, the enemy doesn't know yet that the Yan army has integrated the surrendered Qin soldiers, nor does they know that I have defected to the Yan army.

In their view, the Yan army now has no more than 200,000 people, and they have to defend the city and guard the prisoners. They are also exhausted and vulnerable, so they are bound to be careless.

We can then catch them by surprise."

Su Wuan immediately said,

"That's right, Brother Guan, how can our Yan army just passively take a beating? We always take the initiative!

What's more, the surrendered Qin soldiers have now supplemented the various legions, and each legion has a full staffing of 100,000 people, and there is even some surplus.

Adding the 50,000 White Horse Army, our 450,000 elite troops, can't defeat his 400,000 Sichuan Army?

Don't forget that both the Yan Army and the Qin Army are the legions with the most combat experience and the strongest combat effectiveness.

Brother Guan, don’t you agree?

Guan Shouchang thought carefully and said,

"If the Longxiong Army can join the battle, then we will undoubtedly win this battle.

The key is, General Bai, are you sure there's no problem on your side? They just joined today, so they're bound to feel uncomfortable. You can't bring these emotions to the battlefield."

"Don't worry, General Guan, that won't happen. As long as I lead them, they will fight to the death.

Moreover, precisely because we have just joined, we need a battle to fight side by side to quickly integrate."
