Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 875 Fuling
Jiangzhou City.

The North Martial Arts Hall of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty.

A huge sand table, ten feet long and five feet wide, covers the entire terrain in southern Yizhou. The floating sand and clay are fluctuating, clearly showing the mountains, rivers and rivers of these terrains, even the guts of sheep. Trails are marked.

This is a map provided by the Armaments Department, and then made by the craftsman of the engineer, so that people can imprint the intuitive terrain of the battlefield in their minds.

"My lord, the Chief of Staff has deduced it many times, and we all agree that if you want to conquer Yizhou, you must first go to Zangcang!"

All the generals gathered to discuss the matter of marching troops. Chief of Staff Chen Gong spoke first: "Before conquering the barbarians in Yizhou Yongchang and Shiwan Dashan, we must first take down Zhu Bao from Zangcang, otherwise this person will ruin our affairs! "

"Zang Zang?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flickered with brilliance: "This is a problem!"

Zangcang County is a small and remote county in Yizhou with a small population. Their terrain is adjacent to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

But after all, it is a county.

The prefect Zhu Bao supported the self-respect of the soldiers. This person had long been against him. During Liu Yan's southern expedition, he was defeated once, but later he betrayed Liu Yan. Liu Yan conquered Jingzhou and summoned troops to go north. Yong Kai and Meng Huo at least put on a show, but he just refused to send troops, and even killed Yizhou who was going to inspect and worked as a regular house, which can be regarded as a semi-open state against Yizhou.

However, this person is quite jealous of Liu Yan. When Liu Yan was still around, he could still cover his face. , the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. When he became the emperor of Zangcang, he can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Zangcang County.

"If we want to take down Zang first, can we do it?" Mu Jing asked.

"The terrain in Zang is very complicated. Some mountains and forests are full of miasma, and the roads are different. It is not advisable to rush in. I think you can choose to lead snakes out of the cave!" Chen Gong said in a deep voice: "As long as Yong Kai is rebellious, Zhu Bao will definitely We will not be indifferent, as long as he sends troops, we will have a chance!"

"It's hard to say whether Yong Kai will rebel or not!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

"He must rebel!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes burst into a stern light, and said: "Even if he doesn't rebel, he will be forced to rebel, he must!"

A teacher must be famous.

As the prefect of Yizhou County, Yong Kai, if he does not rebel, how will the righteous army send troops to quell the chaos.

"My lord, I think that these local wealthy families in Yizhou County and the barbarians in Shiwan Dashan are mixed together. They are too united, which is not conducive to our war. We still have to fight separately, which may be more effective!" said a general of the staff department. Said.

The General Staff Department is the department that gathers the most military strategists under the command of Beiwutang.

Mujing has stipulated through the Beiwu Hall that any abnormal battle must be deduced by the staff department before it can be determined. This has established a high prestige for the staff department. Even the generals in the army dare not underestimate this A group of people who talk on paper.

"This direction is right!"

Mujing smiled wryly, and said, "But it's not so easy!"

No one is a fool.

Both Yong Kai and Meng Huo will understand the truth that only by being in a group can they keep warm, so at this time, they will be united at all times, even if Mu Jing wants to insert a needle, they may not be able to insert it.

"My lord, a secret report was sent in a hurry from eight hundred miles to the south. The Dongzhou army has already moved south!" At this time Zhuge Xuan walked in with small steps and handed him the secret letter.

"Order Jingwu Division to pay close attention to the movements of the Dongzhou Army!"

"promise!"

"Zhicai!"

"exist!"

"Order the Third Army to go south!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "If the Dongzhou Army advances too aggressively, they will be attacked. Although I believe in Zhang Ren, I have to be prepared and let Zhang Liao go to meet them, so as to be safe! "

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, and immediately went back to draft the book and stamped it, then handed it to Mu Jing, who stamped the seal again, and officially sent it out, so that the third army stationed in Chengdu would go south quickly.

"Public platform!"

"exist!"

"The Chief of Staff draws up a copy of the battle plan that you think is the best, and then sends it to the front line. As for whether they use it or not, that is their business. The Chief of Staff must organize a group of generals and rush to the front line!"

Mu Jing instructed him softly, saying: "Only the battlefield can seal the ability. If the chief of staff doesn't want to be an armchair strategist, all the generals who are qualified to be the chief of staff must come out of the real battlefield so that they can make better plans!"

"Yes!"

Chen Gong nodded.

The most important thing for the Chief of Staff is to be in charge of deduction, which requires mastery in the art of war. The generals have all learned the art of war, but whether they can flexibly use the art of war on the battlefield is the biggest problem.

So Mujing's words came from the bottom of his heart.

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

The mobilization of the Dongzhou Army did not cover up the news, which meant that when the Mu Army was about to mobilize the main force to march south to Yizhou, it could not be covered up.

Many people are a little ready to move.

"This Marquis of Ming has not even settled in Bashu. Civil strife broke out in Shu County a while ago, and now he is going to send troops to the south. It seems a bit militaristic!"

"Who said no!"

"This is a bit too hasty!"

"Minghou is a young man, so he can be justified if he is in a hurry!"

"Unifying Yizhou is the cause of righteousness, what's wrong with it!"

"Amid internal and external troubles, Marquis Ming's aggressive actions are in itself a violation of the policy of governing Yizhou first. Now he has emptied the envoy and monopolized the world of Yizhou. He is acting recklessly, and he will not end well!"

"The Marquis of Ming has conquered all these years and has been invincible. No one in the world knows that!"

"..."

The news brought mixed reactions, some agreed, some opposed, some satirized, and some secretly admired it, but it caused a new storm in Yizhou.

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

State Shepherd House.

Liu Zhang's face was livid, and his eyes were fixed on the wooden box in front of him. The head inside seemed to be dead, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

"My father trusted Zhang Gongyi so much during his lifetime, how could he treat me like this!"

Liu Zhang cried out in despair.

"My lord, this person is an ungrateful person. In the future, you can no longer pin your hopes on him!" A young man said with his hands clasped.

This is a counselor Liu Zhang recruited recently.

from Chang'an.

His name is Liu Rui, and he belonged to the imperial family of the former dynasty. The former dynasty refers to the Western Han Dynasty, and his ancestor was the king of Huainan. It's just that he is in his lineage. He is not much better than Liu Bei who sells straw sandals. He was poor since he was a child. .

Later, the emperor moved westward and entered Chang'an. He felt that the power around him was weak. After using many clans, he was discovered at that time. Later, he was highly valued by Situ Wangyun, taught for several months, and then disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already Liu Zhang's adviser, and Liu Zhang held him in high regard.

"Cousin, don't you know that I look like the envoy of Yizhou, but all the power is in the hands of the shepherds!" Liu Zhang said bitterly: "Nowadays, there are very few generals in the army, and basically all of them are Zhang Ren. If you can't win over Zhang Ren, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything!"

"My lord, this statement is different!"

Liu Rui said in a low voice: "The embassy is the empress of the Han Dynasty. The biggest reliance is never outsiders, but the emperor. Although the emperor is trapped in the court, he never stops his ambitions and always keeps in mind the situation of the embassy. It's just a Zhang Ren, it's a blessing, and it's okay if you don't have it, as long as Chang'an's troops go south, who can stop it!"

"Chang'an soldiers head south?"

Liu Zhang thought about it for a while: "Now Chang'an, I'm afraid the Xiliang army is in charge!"

"That's why the emperor hopes that Shijun can cooperate. If the Xiliang army and the Mu army are allowed to fight, they will lose both. It is just a matter of backhanding. At that time, Shijun will ascend to the top. I believe Yizhou still has more Loyal minister and good general!"

Liu Rui said.

"Let them both lose, this is a good strategy!" Liu Zhang's eyes were burning brightly, and he asked, "Then how should we do it?"

"It's the best policy for Shijun to do nothing now!"

Liu Rui cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "The shepherd dragon pictured this beast, and he must be on guard against the envoy. As long as the envoy does not do anything, he will naturally take precautions. When he goes south to fight, then he will be the best for the envoy." Chance!"

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

A few days later, a secret letter was delivered by Jing Wusi to Mu Jing's hands. Mu Jing only thought about it for half an hour, then led the Shenwei Battalion to go out lightly and head straight for Fuling.

Fuling, a border city, is a city at the junction of Berkshire and Wuling. There are people from Berkshire, Wuling, and many mountain tribes. Although it is not as grand as the main city, it does appear to be very prosperous.

"The last general, Lei Hu, pay homage to the lord!"

Mujing came here, and Lei Hu had been waiting in Shili Pavilion for a long time, and hurried forward to salute.

"There are no outsiders here. Since when did you, Lei Hu, become so polite?" Mu Jing reined in his horse, looking at the young man who ran for several miles on Mushroom Mountain to find a bite to eat, and smiled. said.

Since Mushan's death, there have been fewer and fewer old people from Mushroom Mountain generation after generation, and Mujing's power has become more and more important. Many people dare not say a word in front of him. Those who can make Mujing get close, There is only Thunder Tiger.

"You can forgive me for being young, but now that Lei Hu has grown up and established a character, he has some etiquette, and he should be respected, and he must be respected!"

Lei Hu said with a wry smile.

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten!" Mu Jing yelled at him, "Lei Wei Meng!"

"My lord!" Lei Hu yelled with some resentment: "I have so many generals here, can't you show me some face!"

The word mighty is pretty good.

"You still need face!"

Mu Jing curled his lips, and said: "Whoever writes his own calligraphy, if you want to pretend to be a scholar, you at least have some common sense. It's fine to write your own calligraphy, and show off everywhere. If you don't blush, I will I blush for you!"

"Didn't this Mr. Cai change it for me?" Lei Hu said awkwardly: "My name is now Lei Beiwang, Lei Hu, the word Beiwang, which means that the tiger sits in the southwest and looks north at the mountains and rivers!"

"Courageous enough!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "Tiger is powerful in the southwest, you are so powerful, what else do I have to do!"

"I'm a tiger, aren't you a dragon!"

Lei Hu didn't have any taboos, so he said it directly.

"roll!"

Mu Jing glanced at him, and then asked, "Where's the man?"

"Don't dare to enter the city!"

Back to the topic, Lei Hu is more reliable. In the past, when the elders were around, he could run amok. After Lei Gong died, Mu Shan was in charge of him. After Mu Shan died, he must learn to grow up. Now Lei Hu is not considered brave and resourceful. , but he is also a person who thinks with his brain.

"Don't dare?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "He dared to invite me to talk, but he didn't dare to enter the city. This will make me look down on him. You go and tell him, I will wait for him in the city, and he will enter the city if he wants to." , if he doesn't want to, then pull it down, and we'll just break it up!"

With that said, he rode his horse directly into the city.

The county magistrate of Fuling is a middle-aged man named Zhao Ting, a son of the Zhao family from a great family in Yizhou. He has been the county magistrate in Fuling for ten years. His roots are deep, but he also manages Fuling very well.

Although nowadays under the two counties of Bashu, most of the magistrates, county magistrates, Weixian and Chengxian county chiefs are people from aristocratic families, and these are the foundation of the gentry, but regardless of their origins, they are still very capable.

As long as the conflict between Mujing and the gentry does not reach an irreconcilable level, he will not easily go to war. Chaos is one aspect, and on the other hand, even if he does, he will not be able to find someone with the same ability to manage it. In a county, the territory is all managed, and talents are the key.

"Fuling county magistrate Zhao Ting, pay homage to the lord!"

Although Mu Jing came secretly, Zhao Ting did not take too long to receive the news. Not long after Mu Jing entered the city, he had already brought people to greet him.

Today, Yizhou is still dominated by Liu Zhang.

The direct line will call Mujing the main one, but the people below them still respect Liu Zhang as the main one, and when they call Mujing, they use honorific titles and titles of noble titles.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "I want to enter the station!"

"Your Majesty, I have prepared a mansion in the city to ensure comfort..."

"Go to the station!" Mu Jing repeated.

"promise!"

Zhao Ting quickly took the order, and then felt something was wrong, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the station has been in disrepair for a long time!"

"I said, go to the station, don't you want me to say it for the fourth time!" Mu Jing's mouth slightly raised.

"Don't dare!"

Zhao Ting broke out in cold sweat.

He is not a person who doesn't know anything. The young man in front of him is in his early twenties, and he looks like a young man who has just been born, but anyone who inquires will know that this is a god of death.

The posthouses in Fuling are indeed a bit crude, and they have not been used for many years, and they are somewhat broken.

But Mujing insisted on staying here.

It's not that he wants to ask for guilt, but that he is about to restart the overhaul of Yizhou Post Road. This work has been done very well in Hanzhong, but in Yizhou, there must be many obstacles, so he has to lead by example.

"County Zhao!"

"The subordinate is here!" Zhao Ting was in a mood of ups and downs, and in the midst of anxiety, he heard Mujing's call and hurried over.

"Do you know where the station is?"

Mu Jing asked softly.

"I know!" Zhao Ting nodded.

"I've heard people say that the county magistrate of Fuling Zhao is a talented person. Although he has ruled Fuling for ten years, although he has made no great achievements, he has increased the population of Fuling by more than [-]% in the past ten years. But hearing is believing is believing. , a post station can be abandoned, whether it is Fuling that does not welcome outsiders, or outsiders are unwilling to come, you have to find out the reason for this!"

Mujing patted him on the shoulder, and his voice was a little louder, just to scare him. He had indeed inspected the entire Zhao Ting before, and he was a useful talent, and the post station was a kind of ethos in Yizhou. The road was deserted, and the natural station was also deserted. The reason why he was beaten by this matter was that he had to hit him with a stick first, and then use it.
