Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 961
In the seventh year of Chuping, May, early.

A rain covered Jiangzhou City. The rain was heavy, unlike ordinary spring rain, and it fell for two consecutive days. The entire sky above Jiangzhou City seemed to be covered by this cloud and haze.

"Jiangdong was the first to send troops?" The news from Jiujiang soon entered the Zhaoming Pavilion, that Jiangdong and Yuan Shu were the first to fight, which made Mujing a little surprised.

"That's right!"

Tan Zong stood in the middle, cupped his hands and reported to Mujing, saying: "Since we inquired about the news, the Jiangdong Army has been fighting Yuan Shu for several days, and the two sides fought fiercely in Xiaoyaojin. The situation on the battlefield, I went deep into the battlefield and observed it very carefully. They were not just acting. This time, Jiangdong was at the limit and stormed Jiujiang. In less than three days, nearly a thousand casualties were caused!"

"Is Sun Wentai showing his loyalty?"

Hu Zhao, who was walking beside him, narrowed his eyes and said speculatively.

"Who can he show his loyalty to?" Xi Zhicai shook his head when he heard this, "I can understand what Sun Wentai did. He should have made a high-profile break with Yuan Shu to protect Jiangdong from getting involved!"

"Zhi is right about that!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and then said: "After all, Sun Wentai is a general who was born under Yuan's family. At the beginning, he took refuge in Yuan Shu, got Yuan Shu's support, and led the army to conquer Jiangdong. Only then did the situation of separatist Jiangdong become today. Before the imperial court conquered Yuzhou , Yuan Gonglu asked the Jiangdong army to take action. As a condition of the transaction, he released the hostages who checked and balanced Sun Jian, and allowed Sun Jian to separatize Jiangdong. However, all this was a transaction under peace. Many people still think that he, Sun Wentai, is a general under Yuan Shu's family after all. Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor is a way of seeking death, and the princes of the world will conquer him. If he does not show enough attitude, this fire will inevitably implicate Jiangdong. Although Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it cannot provoke conquest from the world!"

"Then let's wait for them to fight for a while?"

Liu Jin said in a low voice.

"no!"

Hu Zhao shook his head and objected, "As far as interests are concerned, we can indeed wait until they both lose and then divide up the interests, but as far as the overall situation of the world is concerned, we must act early!"

"Kong Ming is right!" Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement with Hu Zhao's statement: "The overall situation of the world depends on the reputation and momentum. Although I, Yizhou, can stick to Bashu by virtue of its geographical position, if I want to go out, I need the support of more people." Okay, now the Han Dynasty is still orthodox, and the imperial court is still the world, if we in Yizhou do not participate in this kind of rebellion against the imperial court and the world, it will be easy for the people of the world to talk about it, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

In this point of view, Liu Jin is not as good as Hu Zhaohe and Xi Zhicai, after all, he is somewhat short-sighted.

"Report!"

They were in the midst of a discussion when a spy from the Jingwu Division ran in and handed a bamboo tube in his hand to the Jingwu Division Zuo Division Commander Tan Zong: "My lord, the Commander has just sent it from Runan. Play the report, it is urgent!"

"You go down!"

Tan Zong took the bamboo tube, waved his hand, and let him go directly. After the spy left, he took off the wax on the bamboo tube and opened the bamboo tube, but he didn't directly read the message on it, but handed it to Mu Jing: "My lord , The urgent news should be more important news!"

The current Minghou Mansion is not the bandit village on Mushroom Mountain in the past, even old courtiers like them have to abide by the rules.

Mujing opened the cloth strip, looked carefully, then passed it to everyone, and said: "You all have a look, we are still discussing, but Xuzhou has already responded first!"

"Xuzhou's Cao army attacked Yuzhou, and the soldiers were so fierce that they went straight to Ruyin?"

The news on the banner surprised everyone.

"Cao Mengde's reaction is quick enough!" Hu Zhao said in a cold voice, "According to the news above, it should be a matter of whether he and Jiangdong sent troops. Jiangdong attacked Xiaoyaojin, and he had already begun to attack Yuzhou!"

"Ok!"

Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile: "Cao Mengde deserves to be regarded as a lifelong enemy by the Lord. He reacts quickly and makes decisive decisions, which is rare in the world. Jiangdong's rebellion against Yuan Shu is more based on his own situation, but he has no choice. But him, that is the real decisiveness!"

"Is there any result in the negotiations with Nanyang and Jingzhou?" Mu Jing asked.

"Jingzhou did not respond, and Nanyang is still hesitating!" Hu Zhao said, "After all, we were enemies with them before, so he dare not let us enter the country easily!"

"We can't wait!"

Mu Jing stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Notify Nanyang directly, we have to counter the rebellion, but anyone who is my court's teacher is an enemy of the court. In addition, immediately order the Violent Bear Army to get ready and prepare to go north!"

"Yes!"

Xi Zhi nodded.

"Who will lead the army?" Someone asked the question.

"Can't Zhou Cang do it?" Mu Jing frowned.

"It's possible, but the weight is not enough to suppress people!" Hu Zhao said: "If we force the border crossing, Zhou Cang's ability alone will not be able to suppress it!"

"My lord, why don't I go!"

The silent Huang Zhong stood up and begged for orders.

"No!" Xi Zhicai objected: "At present, the main force of our army is resting and reorganizing, and the [-] troops of Nanzhong are also being reorganized. Although Meng Huo surrendered, his mind is treacherous, and he may not have other thoughts. Barbarians value strength. At this time, Han Sheng The general must sit in the middle army, otherwise there will be changes in the Baidishan army town!"

"Zhicai is right to think about it!"

Pastoral nod.

He paced back and forth, his eyes flickering, and after a while, he asked, "Is there any war in the west?"

"After the battle with Xiqiang last year, for the time being, it was fairly stable. Now the Shenlang Battalion is stationed in Qiangdao City, and Jingping's third army is also distributed among the defense lines of Guanghan and Shujun. The west is still peaceful. !"

"Second Zhang Liao!"

Mu Jing said: "Order immediately, Zhang Liao will lead the main force of a battalion to Xiangyang, join the Violent Bear Army, and go north directly by way of attacking the rebel Yuan Gonglu!"

One weekly warehouse is not enough.

Then add Zhang Liao.

Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao were no less powerful than Huang Zhong's personal conquest, and it was enough to suppress the situation. Even if Huangfu Song wanted to turn his face, he had to consider whether he could bear the combination of the two.

"Who is the main general?"

"As you please!" Mu Jing said, "General Zhou Cang of the Violent Bear Army is the main general, and General Zhang Liao of Jingping's Third Army is the deputy general. They will represent Yizhou and fight against the rebellion!"

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai took the order, and immediately began to draw up the order, and then sent it out in a hurry, so as to speed up the pace of mobilizing the Mu army to go north to counter the rebellion.

………………

How to fight outside depends on the changes in the situation. What Yizhou can do is to stay the same and respond to all changes. However, Mujing's core work is still to organize the people's livelihood in Yizhou's counties, and to explode Yizhou's economic strength.

The pace of Yizhou's development must be hurried.

Mujing has already aimed at two goals this year, one is the salt business and the other is the cloth market. As long as these two goals can be achieved, Yizhou will be able to save enough capital for Yizhou's foreign wars in the next three years in the next three years .

The layout of the salt affairs has already taken shape, and now it depends on how Mujing plans to move. Once it moves, it will be a thunderbolt, and no accidents will be allowed.

But before that, he had to settle for a problem.

The group of rich salt merchants boasted that they had found a backer, thinking that there was still room for bargaining with Mu Jing.

As for Mujing, the first thing to do is to take down the entire backer.

Yizhou state herdsman, Liu Zhang.

Since Mujing returned to Jiangzhou City, he had not seen Liu Zhang. Hu Zhao was furious because Liu Zhang stirred up wind and rain in Jiangzhou, and directly put him under house arrest in the State Mufu Mansion.

During this period, many people came to the side to intercede.

But Mu Jing never let go, just detained him.

However, Mu Jing knew very well that unless he killed Liu Zhang, he would not be able to detain Liu Zhang for too long. He could take down Yizhou State Mu and directly rule Yizhou in the name of the Minghou Mansion, but long-term detention is not enough, which will give Yizhou people brought influence.
