Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 832

Now that Yizhou's overall situation has been decided, no matter how bad the situation in Jingzhou is, I'm afraid it won't be so bad.

Mu Jing had thought about it, if Liu Biao really dared to start a war with him at this time, then he would choose to take a step back, the worst would be Xiangyang. There are many, but not to the point where it is absolutely necessary.

Now, he wants to create a stalemate with Liu Biao.

For the current Minghou Mansion, nothing is more important than stabilizing the entire Yizhou first.

Mujing's attention must be fully focused on Yizhou.

He has no foundation in Yizhou, and needs foreign aid at this time. He has already reached a stalemate with the Chang'an court in the north. Now if there is another stalemate with Jingzhou in the east, he will be alone and helpless.

Although Yizhou is dangerous, it is not impossible to attack. If the Chang'an court and Jingzhou unite, he will be exhausted.

"Where's Xinye?" Xi Zhi finally understood Mu Jing's meaning, thought for a while, and asked a question.

"Newfield?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind was a little wandering, he was meditating, and after about half a minute, he asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, do you think Lei Bo can hold Xin Ye down?"

At present, Xinye is the frontier against the Guanzhong Army, and Lei Bo can be regarded as a general under his command.

"For now, he should have no problem. Lei Bo's ability is extraordinary, and there is Chen Lan beside him to advise. In addition, Xinye City is not considered a small city, and the defense can be defended!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The Guanzhong army is now fully advancing in the direction of Runan, and there are not many troops left in Nanyang. Even if there is a fight, Lei Bo can still defend the frontier. Of course, but if he wants to open up, he is not strong enough. Lei Bo has no other thoughts, and with our support behind him, he will definitely be able to defend Xinye!"

"What if Xiangyang suddenly falls?" Mu Jing asked again: "Will he still be able to defend Xinye, or in other words, will he still be able to defend Xinye for us?"

"That's enough!"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "Lei Bo doesn't have much loyalty to our Minghou Mansion. When we cooperated with him at the beginning, we turned around and put him together, so that he couldn't gain a foothold in Yuan Jun. He was forced to be helpless. The road is gone before he joins us, but he may not have no grievances against us in his heart. In addition, the troops under his command are still under his command now, and we have little control over him. He can leave us at any time. If he encounters danger, he You will definitely not die for us!"

"So we prepare for the worst!"

Mujing also anticipated this situation, and said in a deep voice: "I don't need Xiangyang, I can lose Xinye, but people must be withdrawn. Hou Qing is a talent that can be used, and Lei Bo is also a talent. Will, I will lose everything, I will lose no one!"

"Understood!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I will give Zhou Cang an order to give up all the territory of Jingzhou and Nanyang, and withdraw to Berkshire and Hanzhong if necessary, but once the worst situation comes, people must take it back!"

"Correct!"

Mu Jing said: "We still have to use some strategy. Even if we send troops, try not to enter Jingzhou as a Mu army. Remember, we can't turn against Liu Biao, and we have to strengthen the relationship between our allies. Jingzhou Maybe it's just a paper tiger, but to the east of Jingzhou, there is a real tiger!"

"Jiangdong, Sun Jian!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his eyes were sharp and bright: "My lord is never worried about Liu Biao, but Sun Wentai. Using Liu Biao to block Sun Wentai will give us enough time to develop. As long as we understand Yizhou clearly, the world will not be afraid." !"

"The land of Bashu, the land of abundance, this is a good place!" Mu Jing smiled lightly: "I need time to manage!"

"The end will understand!"

Xi Zhi nodded.

"Zhicai, it's time for us to reorganize the army!"

Mu Jing stood up, staring at Xiaoyu outside the door, and said in a low voice: "Dongzhou Army, Berkshire Army, Yizhou Army, Jiange Army under Pang Xi's command, soldiers and horses under Gao Ding's command, Yizhou's chaotic troops There are too many, the good and the bad are mixed, but the combat effectiveness is insufficient, we have to rectify and disarm!"

"It's a big disarmament again?" Xi Zhicai frowned: "The timing is not right now, the morale of the army is unstable, and Yizhou can't safely survive the period of power transition!"

"I just want to take advantage of the chaos in Yizhou and cut through the mess!"

Mu Jing said: "All the armies in Yizhou must be cut down. If you don't cut it down, you can't do it. When Liu Yan was alive, in order to attack Jingzhou, he was a little aggressive. The small Yizhou has hundreds of thousands of troops. The land is large and the population is sparse, so it can't develop. , can't do anything!"

Yizhou is so big and there are so many problems, it was unexpected. This is much more troublesome than when he governed Hanzhong in the past, and all aspects must be considered.

Disarmament and return to the people is the first problem to be solved.

Yizhou is a land of abundance, with many mountains and few plains, but the land is considered fertile, but with less labor, the economy will definitely not be able to keep up. In today's feudal era, labor is economic power. Without people, nothing can develop.

"What about the south?" Xi Zhicai asked in a low voice: "Once we move too far, the south will inevitably react. At that time, we will have internal and external troubles, and we don't have enough troops to defend, I'm afraid it will cause civil strife!"

When Liu Yan was alive, he once conquered the southern part of Yizhou. Although he succeeded on the surface, he did not control the troops in the southern part. The only harvest should be Gao Ding, so Gao Ding is Liu Yan's trump card.

In fact, when Liu Yan came to the throne, he let Gao Ding lead the army into Chengdu without anyone noticing, which really almost ruined Mu Jing's plan. This trump card was not bad, but in the end Mu Jing was very skilled one chip.

There are few counties in the south, with small county towns and small populations, but the people are fierce and infested by barbarians. The Yizhou State Shepherd's Government has very weak rule over them, even so weak that they cannot pass orders.

"Let's figure out the two counties of Bashu first!" Mu Jing squinted his eyes: "As for Yong Kai and Meng Huo, we will slowly clean up after we have taken a breath. The reason they rely is nothing more than the terrain. Participating in the two battalions of wolf and tiger, both of which are mountain camps, it is not easy to deal with them, have they become a bit rampant recently?"

"Ok!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Jingwu Division set up a town in Yizhou County, and Yizhou Town has sent back a lot of news. Meng Huo and Yong Kai are contacting the owner of the 36th Cave of the Barbarians. Yong Kai supports Meng Huo, and Meng Huo is going to seize it. The position of the barbarian king, if he is a unified barbarian tribe, the south will be in danger!"

"Let him go!"

Mujing thought for a while and said, "We've split up a lot to deal with, if we can get together, we can get it done once and for all!"

Putting this issue aside, Mu Jing is not discussing: "Let's reorganize the army first, starting with the Dongzhou Army!"

"Use Zhang Ren?"

"Of course it will be used!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "Rectify the Dongzhou Army, without him, no one can accomplish anything!"

"Aren't you afraid that he will turn against you?"

"Afraid!" Mu Jing said: "But even if you are afraid, you still have to use him. As long as he doesn't turn against me for a day, I will use him every day. On the one hand, it's his ability. It would be a pity if it was put on the shelf!"

"Secondly, he will be a banner, carrying the banner of Liu Yan's old department. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Yizhou is not a harmonious place. There are many local factions and family forces. They are united. We There is no need to play, now only by dividing them, can we have more opportunities, and Zhang Ren can let the direct descendants join him, and the power of the aristocratic family will be greatly reduced, so that we can make use of it!"

"As for the third point, we have to allow Liu Yan's old tribe to have room to survive. If Liu Yan's old tribe is now in a good mood, if we want to appease people's hearts, we must first let them feel that even if the sky changes in Yizhou, they can also survive. At the beginning, we fought desperately because we had no room to live. Dogs can jump over walls when they are in a hurry, and people are in a hurry.

Mujing said so much just to praise Zhang Ren.

"It must be him?" Xi Zhicai was still a little worried. The main reason was that a person's ability was too strong, and his loyalty was not here. He had to guard against it. Soldiers are fierce, and a little carelessness will lead to civil strife.

"It must be him!" Mu Mu nodded.

"I'm afraid that after he takes over the military power, he will support Liu Zhang. You have given them a chance by forcing Liu Zhang to take over the position of state pastor. If Zhang Ren desperately supports Liu Zhang behind his back, there will be no guarantee A battle within Yizhou!"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

"Zhang Ren is a very smart person, I bet he won't do that!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Liu Yaneng trusts him because he trusts him, so I will not doubt his loyalty to the Liu family, but the more loyal he is, the more he will stay away from Liu Zhang, because he knows in his heart that The farther away he is, the more he can protect Liu Zhang!"

"I'm afraid he won't be able to figure this out!"

"If this is the case, then I can't help it. I gave them the opportunity, but they can't grasp it. Then don't blame me for cutting the grass and roots. Yizhou, I will never allow anyone to make trouble. This is our foundation!"

A gleam of coldness flashed across Mu Jing's eyes, his expression was as cold as ice, and there was a murderous intent all over his body, he said a little viciously.
