Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1598
"Just this battle report, why do you feel that something is wrong?" Looking at the battle report from the west, Mujing's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "Come on!"

"exist!"

"Go to the Privy Council, Mo Zhicai, and Chen Gong, Minister of the General Staff Department!"

"promise!"

The guard quickly went to deliver the order.

The Privy Council is right below, so it's very convenient to go back and forth. At this time, Baidishan Army Town is training troops, but the main trainers are Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Ren.

Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, and the others sit in the headquarters of the Privy Council and do a good job of logistics for the entire military expansion plan.

The expansion of the army is not just about expanding the size of the army. The number of generals has increased, and the logistics must also keep up. The registration of military registration, the expansion of the production line of the weapon workshop, the reserve of military supplies, and the adjustment of military pay are all aspects. The work of the Privy Council.

At this time, the frontline is training troops, and Xi Zhicai and the others have to do these logistical tasks well.

Soon, Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong came.

When the two walked in, they bowed and saluted: "Meet Your Majesty!"

Mu Jing was not polite, he waved his hand directly, and said: "Don't worry about Xu Li, you can take a look at this, the battle report just came back from the front line, Yanjin fought hard, both sides suffered heavy casualties!"

Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong stepped forward, staring at the battle report.

After a while, Xi Zhicai opened his mouth and asked, "Is the battle report true?"

"Reporting to Xi Shijun, this battle report has been verified three times by Jing Wusi, basically there is no problem!" Xin Zhao stood up and said with cupped hands.

Xi Zhicai is now the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Compared with the name of Zhaoming Pavilion's participation in politics, the military is more concerned about the official position of the Privy Council. It is an honorary title to call him envoy.

"If there is no problem with the battle report, then there is a problem with Wei Jun!"

Xi Zhicai replied, "This is not at Guo Jia's level!"

"You mean layout?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Guo Fengxiao's thoughts are unpredictable, and Cao Mengde has a lot of trust in Guo Fengxiao. With this layout, I can see that Wei Jun has made mistakes in the battle situation. It is impossible for Guo Fengxiao to not see it. Since he If you don't care, it means you have other plans, maybe he can create such a result!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed Guo Jia. They are brothers from the same sect. In terms of inheritance, they all inherited the Guigu Art of War back then. They are true fellow sects.

So we understand each other very well.

Guo Jia's level can only be higher than his own, not lower than his own. Xi Zhi knows this very well.

If Tian Feng was still in the Zhou army, he might be able to resist Guo Jia's layout, but now, although Yuan Benchu ​​had the will to fight and lead the troops, there was still a gap in terms of formation.

"The Wei army originally attacked halfway, but going to Yanbian suddenly became a bitter battle in Yanjin. The sudden strategic change, the final result is to delay the time of the battle!"

The General Staff had deduced the Battle of Guandu no less than a hundred times, and was very familiar with the layout of the Battle of Guandu. Chen Gong felt something was wrong at the first moment. He followed Xi Zhicai's words in a low voice, and said, "If Guo Jia can The purpose of changing the strategic attack direction is to delay time, so what is their purpose?"

In this battle, when Zhou Jun crossed the river, he either broke through Wei Jun's defense line or retreated, but he was dragged abruptly between Yanjin and the Yellow River.

This made them look a little confused.

"Purpose?"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "I don't have enough information about Wei Jun, so I can't speculate. I rashly speculate that Guo Jia will bring our thoughts into the ditch!"

Thoughts are calculated through actions, if Guo Jia suddenly has another arrangement, it is easy to mislead their minds that already have a direction.

"Don't worry about Guo Fengxiao's layout, I just want to know what Cao Mengde is thinking at this time!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a sneer, and said: "Cao Mengde is the core, he said to fight, he will not stop, he said to stop and will not fight, and suddenly dragging the time, it shows that he has further thoughts, I don't want to It can be boldly speculated that he already has the chance to win!"

"There is a possibility!"

Xi Zhicai frowned, and said: "Perhaps he has reinforcements, so he procrastinates. In this way, he doesn't need to fight Yuan Shao anymore. He has enough advantages to defeat Yuan Shao's main force, and he can use the weakest The casualties sank the entire Zhou army's main force!"

The battle at Guandu must have been a bloodbath, and the bloodbath is all about momentum, not delay. It stands to reason that Cao Cao should defeat Yuan Shao's fighting spirit first.

Yuan Shao is now as powerful as a tiger in one go, as long as his momentum is knocked down, his combat power will drop a lot.

But this suddenly turned a sharp attack into a limp war of attrition.

This is tantamount to delaying time, and it is not possible to attack Yuan Shao's momentum in a roundabout way, which is a disadvantage for Wei Jun.

So after this, it shows that Cao Cao has changed the entire strategic deployment, and there is no need for shopping, so there must be other advantages.

"Cao Mengde!"

Mu Jing is quite afraid of this hero through the ages. This person was originally the protagonist of this era. Although he has been robbed of a lot of limelight by his own, a hero is a hero. No matter how he changes, his ability cannot be changed.

Adversity can turn the tables, and he will fight more smoothly in a downwind battle.

"Xin Zhao!"

"exist!"

"Let Jingwu Division continue to inquire about the news and expand the scope. I need to know more about the locations of the various troops and horses in Guandu, otherwise it will be difficult to make a judgment!"

"promise!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

Then Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong, and said: "If there is any change in the Guandu battlefield, it will immediately affect our border defense line, so you must be prepared!"

"Your Majesty is afraid that they will go south to attack our defense line immediately after cleaning up Hebei and retaining enough strength?"

Xi Zhicai's pupils widened a little, and there was a look of fierceness in his eyes, and he asked very questioningly: "Do they have the ability?"

"Don't underestimate anyone!"

Mu Jing's calm voice had a touch of depth: "Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande are both old foxes, and Sun Bofu is not a reckless man. Once they all ally with each other sincerely, their strength will increase, and it just happens that our Ming Dynasty is reforming the system, the new policy and the old system. No one dares to say whether they will go south when there is a conflict and people's hearts are uneasy, but to be honest, if I were Cao Mengde, if I had saved enough strength in the Guandu battle, I would go south, regardless of March 21, [-], first It doesn't matter if you win or lose!"

"Why?" Chen Gong didn't understand.

"It's about combining politics and military affairs!" Mu Jing looked at Chen Gong and said softly, "Gongtai, as the decision-maker of the Privy Council, you can't narrow your vision too much, learn to combine politics and military affairs From the looks of it, he is a qualified secretary of the general staff."

"It's to divert the contradiction!"

Xi Zhicai reacted a little faster: "When the enemy is established, their alliance can be more united. The threat theory of Ming Dynasty is the basis of their alliance. Cao Mengde should be very clear about this, so as long as he has enough troops , after winning Guandu, he will immediately turn his troops around and quickly go south to attack our border defense line, under the banner of recovering the territory of the Han Dynasty. , even if you lose, it will increase the threat theory of Ming Dynasty, and neither Liu Xuande nor Sun Bofu will be able to make a comeback, so we can only let Cao Mengde take over the sovereignty!"

"Good analysis!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "So we have to be prepared, whether we fight or not, we have to be ready, ready all the time!"

His voice became very firm: "Since the day when the Ming dynasty was established, I will not allow the enemy to enter the Ming Dynasty. The territory of the Ming Dynasty cannot be lost!"

"promise!"

The two quickly took orders.

"It has been reorganized at present, but the training cooperation between recruits and veterans has not yet been completed. Only the Jingping First Army and the Third Army!"

Xi Zhicai said: "I want to mobilize directly. The soldiers and horses of the border guards in Ruzhou will jointly open a training school. They will defend and train at the same time!"

"Your Privy Council will discuss it on your own. I have already reminded you. If there is a problem with the border defense line because of your untimely response, I can only hold you accountable!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said calmly.

If he had to consider everything in person, wouldn't he be very busy? Remind those who should be reminded, delegate power to those who delegate power, and let them toss anyway.

Now my eyes are still on the New Deal.

Time brought an atmosphere of urgency to Mujing. He felt that there was not much time left to indulge his plans for the New Deal, so some key policies had to be implemented quickly.

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong hand in hand.

"In a few days, I will personally go north to the Baidi Mountain Army Town, and you two will accompany me!" Mu Jing said, "I want to inspect the situation of the recruits' training in person. Expanding the army is a deadly task, but the Ming army has always It's an elite line, I don't allow anyone to make up for it!"

It's not that he doesn't worry about Zhang Liao, but that he doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't see it for himself. This matter of soldiers is a matter of the country. As an emperor, no matter how big his heart is, he would not dare to throw away his military power casually.

The expansion of the army is equivalent to the redistribution of military power, and the military power must be under one's own control to complete the expansion.

"Do you want to mobilize the guards to accompany you?"

"How far is Yudu from Baidi Mountain!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "It's fine for the Shenwei Battalion to accompany you, and the Shenwei Army should not move, but just walk around casually, and make a big move. People who don't know think how unsafe our Yudu City is!"

"Your Majesty, you are now a man of gold, so take risks so easily!"

Xi Zhicai remonstrated in a low voice: "Chongqing is safe, but it's because people stole the gunpowder under their noses. After leaving Yudu City, I don't know how many eyes are staring at Your Majesty!"

Yudu is not far from Baidi Mountain, but it is not too short. Who knows if there will be any danger along the way. If there is a whole army of guards escorting it, it will be safe enough.

Although the Divine Guard Battalion is strong, there are not many people. Once something happens, it will cause a shortage of guards.

"Don't worry!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "Yudu City is the Yudu City of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuzhou is also the Yuzhou of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are some young people, it is difficult to become a master. I trust Ma Mengqi!"

He was about to say something after watching Xi Zhicai, so he directly interrupted him, saying: "I went up to Baidi Mountain this time to avoid the limelight, so I don't want to make a big move, it's enough for the Shenwei Battalion to accompany me!"

"Yes!"

When Xi Zhicai heard the words, he had no choice but to hold his nose and nod helplessly, but secretly, the Privy Council still had to make some preparations, and the guards couldn't move, but Baidi Mountain had elites, and they could meet them along the way, so that nothing would go wrong.

"Here is another copy sent from Yecheng. Tan Zong of Jingwu Division made a plan to steal the sky and change the day. Once it succeeds, there will be some changes to the battle situation. You should also take a look and be prepared in your heart!"

Mujing handed them the second letter and asked them to go and have a look.

"As the orphan of the Han family, is there an overwhelming response?"

Xi Zhicai looked at the plan, frowned, and said, "Commander Tan, did he take it for granted? When Han Fu was still alive, he didn't have the reputation of Yuan Benchu. He is dead, so how much influence can he still have? The orphan of the Han family may not have too much influence, and he will not be able to disrupt Yecheng, but he will be involved instead, and it will be troublesome!"

"Tan Zong is a very cautious person. He didn't dare to do it without any certainty. Han Fu may not have much prestige when he was there, but it doesn't mean that Han Fu has no foundation in Jizhou. Some people are even worse when they die. It caused some people to feel guilty!" Mu Jing said: "Han Fu is ambitious, he doesn't have much ability to lead the army, but he still has some ability to govern. I believe that many county magistrates in Jizhou owe him a lot. Favor and the identity of the orphan of the Han family still play a big role!"

"It's impossible to eat Yecheng, even if it is eaten, it will be taken back, so it doesn't make much sense!" Xi Zhicai still disagrees.

"If we don't march into Hebei, they will exist, and it won't be very meaningful!" Chen Gong also nodded.

"The so-called stealing the sky and changing the day is just a layout, not a result!"

Mu Jing said softly: "The Hebei we want is not the current Hebei, but the future Hebei, so the plan of stealing the sky and changing the sun is more valuable!"

"not understand well!"

"Local power is not a small force. One county magistrate is useless, but ten county magistrates can definitely influence the intention of the entire county government!"

Mu Jing said: "The talents from Hebei were stolen, and our talents were exchanged. This will give us a great advantage!"

"If this is the case, it's not just a military action, it will require the cooperation of the Zhengshitang!" Xi Zhicai said: "It just so happens that there are a lot of talents for the imperial examination recently!"

His eyes also brightened a little: "If the orphan of the Han family has a deeper influence, this plan may not be impossible!"

"Military support is also needed!"

Mujing Road.

"Respond from the north, or send troops to respond?"

"It's all right, depending on the current situation, if they can take Yecheng, they can try to send troops to respond. It doesn't necessarily need to be meritorious, but at least it can suppress Cao Mengde's desire to go south!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

Xi Zhicai said: "Then we have to mobilize a main force from Hedong to Hanoi. As long as Hanoi is stable, Hanoi will contact Yanzhou and Jizhou, and we can send troops at any time!"

"Hanoi, now it's almost becoming a no-nonsense zone!"

Mujing thought for a while and said, "Who should suppress it?"

Hebei had already retreated from Chaoge, but the Ming army did not dare to go north rashly, and the Yan army did not occupy this mind. Hanoi naturally formed a buffer zone, so after the war, it was depressed a lot, and no one took over. the biggest issue.
