Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1533 Truce Period Four

The establishment of the Ming court was something that Liu Bei could imagine. As for Mu Jing's so-called three-year truce, he was a little skeptical at first, but it didn't take long to figure it out.

The Ming army won this battle, but it was a fluke, and the victory was tragic. They, the princes, knew how many casualties the Ming army had.

The Ming army needed to rest and recuperate, and Mu Jingbai first took over the name, but he could win a wave of goodwill from the world. In Liu Bei's mind, this method was considered very high-level.

Liu Bei is definitely a person who wants to be famous. He started from managing his reputation, so he has the followers of the world's talents, so he also pays special attention to maintaining his reputation.

What surprised him was that Mu Jing was also so good at managing his own reputation. After ascending the throne, Mu Jing was completely different.

"Alright!"

Liu Bei smiled and said softly: "It's time for us. Although the Ming Dynasty was newly established, our Han Dynasty is already exhausted. If we don't have time to communicate and build trust, we may not be their opponents in the future!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation in the world. Looking around the world, there is no prince from any side who can fight the Ming army.

The strength of the Ming army has already surpassed the scope of the princes.

Even if all the princes now know that the Ming army is the weakest, none of them dare to send troops to march straight in, because even the weak Ming army can kill any of their princes and bleed into rivers.

Therefore, only if they are united can they hope to fight the Ming army in the future.

And the beginning of unity is to destroy Hebei.

It's too late this year. Liu Bei never thought about fighting in the cold winter. It's not impossible, but whether he loses or wins, it will consume a lot of troops.

At this time, any force is very important.

So we have to wait until next spring.

Of course, it can be arranged now.

Since he, Liu Bei, dared to fight Hebei, he was naturally prepared. If he did not have a little preparation, he would not be willing to fight head-on, with Liu Bei's character.

Liu Bei pondered for a while, looked at the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat, and said, "Can you convince him?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem!"

A young voice said in the bamboo hat: "Hebei's general situation is gone, but any smart person can see it, it's just that some diehard members of the Yuan family don't want to believe it!"

"Then do it, no matter what he wants, Gu will give it to him!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "After the spring of the next year, if the Yan army's soldiers go straight to Hebei, we don't have so much time to waste!"

"Your Majesty, Hebei is easy to clean up. Yuan Benchu ​​is just a grasshopper after autumn. He has no power to turn around, but the Central Plains..." said in a young voice in the bamboo hat: "Cao Mengde is a man of great talent and strategy. He must have arrangements for Hebei, and he has now united with Jiangdong, I am afraid that he will be powerful, and then he will send troops to the north!"

"United with Jiangdong?"

Liu Bei stared: "Is Jiang Dong ready to surrender to the imperial court?"

"Surrender may not be possible, but I have received news that Sun Bofu is about to protect his sister Sun's daughter to go north to marry Cao Ang, the son of Prince Wei. He is going to Xudu. This has already explained his attitude!"

"Sun Bofu?"

Liu Bei stood up, a little helpless: "Although Gu does not agree with his approach, he has to admit that this son is courageous. In Gu's strategy, after taking Hebei, he will be able to suppress Jiangdong Yaoyao. Live in the Central Plains, and talk to Cao Cao about the alliance at that time, but if he enters Xudu, I am afraid that he will join forces with Cao Cao one step earlier, and when the two of them suppress Yan, it will only be a matter of backhanding!"

Sun Ce disrupted his deployment.

However, he still respects Sun Ce. Sun Ce entered Xudu not for himself, let alone for Xudu, but for the great man.

If he hadn't joined Xudu, the so-called alliance would still be nothing more than a mirror in the water, and it would be difficult to achieve unity.

But when he entered Xudu, he opened up the fetters in this area.

That's how trust is formed.

"Your Majesty, you should make preparations early!" The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat said bitterly, "The court of the Han Dynasty has always been in Xudu, and we have lost our righteousness!"

"So I have to go south alone!"

Liu Bei also wanted to understand, since Sun Ce entered Xudu, he must also go there, but...

"Let's see how Sun Bofu chatted with Cao Mengde after he entered Xudu. If they can unite and concede defeat alone, it's not an exaggeration. There's nothing wrong with going in Xudu!"

Liu Bei thought for a while: "If they can't agree, and Cao Cao dares to do anything to Sun Bofu, even if it is imprisoned, then Jiangdong is already on our side, and there is no need to plan anything alone!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat nodded.

"Sir, you still can't relax. On the one hand, you keep an eye on Jiangdong, and on the other hand, you have to manage more deeply in Xudu. If you enter Xudu alone, your safety depends entirely on you!"

Liu Bei is holding the middle-aged hat excitedly. He is such a person. With one person, it is like trusting with heart and soul. When he is in a show, tears can come out.

"Your Majesty trusts your subordinates so much, even if your subordinates are smashed to pieces, your Majesty will not be in any danger in Xu!" The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat is very good at this, he said firmly.

............................................................

On the fourth day of Mu Jing's ascension to the throne, a completely new Ming Dynasty began to enter the stage of recuperation.

To show sincerity.

Mujing began to call back soldiers and horses from the frontier.

Of course, summoning soldiers and horses was just a superficial approach. It is true that part of the troops will be transferred back to Baidi City to rest, but the defense of the frontier has not been relaxed at all.

To the east, on the Yangtze River, the Zhaoming Navy has gradually begun to take shape. From Chibikou to Fankou, no less than ten large water fortresses have been established. The water village can wear off their attacks.

In the north, the former Runan, now Ruzhou, is already the front line. The Ming army stationed two troops in Ruzhou, one in the east of Ruzhou, mainly in Ruyin City, suppressing the Shouchunjiang Eastern Wu Army .The other branch is in the north, defending Yuzhou.

The main force has been stationed in Ruzhou, the northern line of defense has been formed, and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhou have been continuously withdrawn and left.

The Guanzhong defense line of the Ming army has been directly moved north. In the newly built Luozhou, the defense line has been opened, and there are still two main forces left, one is the Zhaoming First Army and the other is the Zhaoming Second Army.

The first army set up a camp in the east of Luoyang, and only needed to guard against Yanzhou, Yuzhou in the east. The second army was only in the north of the Yellow River, mainly stationed in Chaoge, Hanoi.

On the one hand, it is suppressing the northern border of Hebei, and on the other hand, it is suppressing Shangdang.

With the two main forces present, even if the troops from the east of the river are withdrawn, the other armies will not dare to cross the border to fight easily. Unless they attack with all their strength, two armies are enough to fight a local war.

Another one is the Northwest Territory.

The Northwest Territory has also entered the cold winter, and this is also a truce period, which means that Pang Xi is given time. The Black Armored Cavalry Battalion has now been reorganized into the Black Armored Cavalry Army, which also belongs to the Zhaoming Army, the Zhaoming Fourth Army.

The main defense in the northwest is the Southern Huns from the Hetao area in the north.

The Southern Huns have already begun to move around.

They will fight sooner or later. As for whether the cavalry army can fight the Hun cavalry, it depends on Pang Xi's ability.

From the looks of it now, within the Ming Realm, everything is safe.

This also brought a relatively good advantage for Mu Jing's ascension to the throne. What the people expected was nothing more than a peaceful day. When Mu Jing established a dynasty, Ming could win the hearts of the people, and the people believed that Mu Jing could bring them peace.

Of course, under Enron, there are also undercurrents.

On the surface, the city of Yudu looks like it is still in the middle of the opening ceremony, but if someone pays more attention, they will find that no matter it is the guards, the six gates, including the Jingwusi spies who have not been seen in the past, they are constantly appearing on the street every where.

Although the door was not closed and the Quartet was not blocked, the inspection of entry and exit became stricter.

There seems to be an illusion that a storm is coming.

........................

Zhaoming Pavilion.

Side hall.

Mujing gently played with the glass beads in his hand, and the glass came out, and he also made out the glass beads that he liked to play with when he was a child.

I also like to play around with it.

Especially when angry.

This way you can calm down.

"No one was caught?" His voice was very soft, but it made Piandian feel chilly.

"The minister is incompetent, please punish him, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Huo and Ma Chao knelt down, Tan Zong and Zhao Xin also gritted their teeth, and knelt on the ground. There was something shameful on the faces of the four of them.

It was their dereliction of duty that they thought it was the impregnable city of Yudu, but they were taken away from here.

Jing Wusi dereliction of duty.

Six doors dereliction of duty.

The Guards were also derelict.

"very nice!"

Mu Jing let out a breath of air coldly, and laughed, but the smile was a bit ferocious, especially ferocious: "I always thought that if the Institute of Science and Technology was established in Yudu, I would be safe and sound. I have worked hard all these years, but I didn't dare to expand, because I was afraid of leaving Yudu and being spied on by others, so I delayed some development, but I never expected that under my nose, I could lose people. You really gave me a very big reward surprise!"

"I'm waiting for death!"

The four of them trembled all over. There were very few scenes where Mu Jing got angry. He seemed to be talking and laughing at ordinary times, which didn't put a lot of pressure on people, but when he was really angry, people felt the deep and piercing chill. The sensation of seizures in the body was gone.

"You are damned!"

Mu Jing's energy-raising kung fu was still shattered, and the glass beads in his hands were smashed down, torn apart, pieces of pieces fell on them, and some pieces cut Zhao Xin and Tan Zong's face, but they didn't dare to move at all. , Let the blood flow.

At this time, Mu Jing had the heart to kill them all.

Lost people under their noses.

He is also a craftsman who makes gunpowder.

What is gunpowder? It is the raw material of ammunition for new weapons. It is something related to the Ming Dynasty's military equipment. The configuration of gunpowder is originally a top secret among top secrets.

This is fundamentally related to the development of Ming's armaments, the power of new weapons, they all know that this matter will directly affect the enemies that the Ming army will face in the future.

If Da Ming's new weapon appeared in the enemy's formation, it would be a chilling thing.

"If Daming is not employing people, I will kill you directly today!" Mu Jing stared coldly, angry, but not to the point of killing people. Of course, there is still punishment, but it has to wait. Let's talk about this matter when it's over.

"Tell me!"

Mujing sat down, and said coldly: "Who the hell is so capable, who can stab us with such a ruthless knife in Yudu!"

This stabbing was really ruthless. It was too much to say that it took Da Ming's life, but it was right to let Da Ming lose some advantages in armaments.

"Zhu Zhen!"

Tan Zong raised his head, gritted his teeth and said the name.

"Did you not kill him in Nanyang?" Mu Jing was no stranger to this name.

Wuyin, the remnant of the Zhu family, is a very strategic young man.

He single-handedly planned the tragedy in Nanyang that year, which uprooted the intelligence network that Jingwu Division had set up in Nanyang for many years, and also caused Tan Zong, the first family member of Jingwu Division, to lose a leg.

These years, he has been attacking the Ming Kingdom both openly and secretly, and he has also taken refuge in Cao Cao. In the night tower, he has gained Jia Xu's respect, and with his backing, he has dealt with the Ming Kingdom unscrupulously, turning Jing Wusi upside down.

This person may be born to be in this line of work, and he is also a great strategist, with unfathomable power of planning. Among the Jing Wu Division, even Zhao Xin may not be able to count against him. It was difficult to suppress him, but in the battle of Wancheng, he was tricked by Yue Shu of Jingwu Division.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and gave Jing Wusi a knife.

This time the explosion of the gunpowder workshop, those craftsmen who have always been there, were all done by him.

"In the battle of Wancheng, we did uproot their entire news network in Nanyang, and drove them to heaven and earth, killing their worst people, but..."

Tan Zong took a deep breath and said softly: "In the end, he still couldn't be dealt with. Not only did he escape, but he also lost track!"

"It's also because we were too idealistic. We thought that he would return to Xudu to recuperate after his vital energy was seriously injured. I didn't expect that he had already sneaked into Yudu City!"

Xin Zhao added that his feminine voice was also somewhat cold, this was not only Tan Zong's dereliction of duty, but also his dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty's enthronement, the enthronement ceremony, the whole city is watching. Although we are on guard against some of the outer government offices, our basic attention is still on the ceremony!"

Tan Zong continued: "At the grand ceremony, there were indeed some spies who wanted to destroy it. We all started ahead of time and took them down one by one. We thought the ceremony would be a complete success, but we didn't expect..."

Tan Zong gritted his teeth and said darkly: "After our torture, these exposed people are all spies from Jiangdong and Youzhou. They just obeyed orders, mainly to attract our attention. This is what they gave Bait!"

"We never thought that they would set their sights on the gunpowder workshop. The gunpowder workshop has always been top secret and not many people can be contacted. They must have done a lot of work in advance, at least deploying subordinates for more than two years. The ones who do it are all the elite of Yelou, and they have been lurking in Yudu for many years!"

Tan Zong gritted his teeth and said: "But we have never found any clues about them, this is our dereliction of duty!"

"A Zhu Zhen actually turned your Jingwu Division upside down, Tan Zong, if you don't have the ability to control Jingwu Division, you can tell me, I really don't have to force it!"

Mu Jing snorted coldly.

The strength of others will never be your incompetent opponent.

"I failed to see through the enemy's tricks. This is a big mistake. I am willing to take the blame and do meritorious service. Please give me a chance!" At this time, Tan Zong dared not resign because he knew Mu Jing's temper too well.
