Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 966 Seeking Jingzhou

Zhaoming Pavilion.

"Zhicai, how is the fight in Jiujiang going?" Mu Jing flipped through the notebook in his hand, and asked, "How long will Yuan Gonggong, the emperor, last?"

"It's probably coming to an end. Sun Wentai and Cao Mengde sent troops one after another. I guess many parties can't sit still!"

Xi Zhicai sat next to him and replied: "Jingzhou has assembled its forces, but it will take time to conquer Runan. Liu Jingsheng doesn't have much motivation to conquer Runan, but he is very careful about defending us. !"

"Anyone who is beaten hard once will naturally take precautions!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "Even if he, Liu Jingsheng, is asleep, he will keep one eye open and stare at XX!"

"Actually, I'm not worried about Jiujiang now. Jiujiang is the eye of the storm. There are too many people involved, and we can't get benefits. If it's not from a political point of view, I don't want to spend my troops on it!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said to Mu Jing: "At present, I am more concerned about Jiaozhou!"

"Jiaozhou is not going well?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Gan Ning has been sending troops to fight for nearly half a year since last year, but the progress is not enough. Zhang Ren's Dongzhou Army is going to guard Nanzhong. At this time, Nanzhong is still in chaos. It is impossible to send too many troops to the south to help. At most, it can only guarantee Gan Ning's retreat!"

Xi Zhicai said: "I don't question Gan Ning's ability, but I'm worried that his progress is too slow, and instead he's getting a lot of money for Jiang Dong!"

"I know about Jiangdong sending troops!"

Mu Jing put down the memorial book, and his face became serious: "I can also feel that they want Jiaozhou. For Jiangdong, Jiaozhou is determined to win. Whether it is from the perspective of strategic deployment or status, It is impossible for Jiangdong to let go, and I don't need to fight to the death in Jiaozhou and Jiangdong, I don't need the entire territory of Jiaozhou, I only need the western part of Jiaozhou, Jiaozhi County!"

"The key point is that Jiang Dong doesn't think so!"

"That's true, Sun Wentai is worried that after I get Jiaozhou, Jiangdong will fall into a position where he will be attacked from both sides, so he will attack Jiaozhou at all costs!" Mu Jing laughed at himself.

It is obvious that his purpose of intercourse is to open the sea.

It is unlikely that the Jingping Navy will compete with Jiangdong on the Yangtze River, but if it is fought on the sea, it may be different.

"Jiaozhou is not so easy to eat!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Whether it's Zhang Jin or Shi Xie, they all have a certain amount of troops in their hands, and they launched it in the name of defending their homeland, which allows them to recruit more young and strong to join the battle. If they really fight, even if they win Jiaozhou is also a bloody Jiaozhou, which is not in our interest!"

"Any news from Yiji?"

"Not yet!"

"Can he convince Shi Xie?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"I know Yi Jibo's ability, but in this kind of matter, Shi Xie is willing to give in if he compares his heart with his heart is very slim!" Xi Zhicai shook his head: "I think we still have to fight hard in the end!"

"How about another way?" Mu Jing said, "I sent troops to help him capture Jiaozhou, but I need Haikou of Jiaozhi, will he hand it over?"

"The key is whether he can be trusted!"

"That's a problem!"

"It's not realistic to increase troops. To be honest, my attitude towards Jiaozhou is pessimistic, and we fought Jiaozhou too hastily. We even mobilized the navy to fight, which has its own problems!"

"Why don't I know, but I'm anxious!"

"It's really not possible, add troops!"

"Not yet, just wait and see if Gan Ning and Yi Ji can bring us some good news. If we can't get through intercourse in the second half of the year, then we can discuss it again!"

"we can only do this!"

Mujing and Xi Zhicai talked about many military arrangements.

The current Yizhou has a very long border, and there is no problem with defense, but if Yizhou has the ambition to fight out, then the military layout must be rigorous and precise.

Where the soldiers and horses of each part are arranged is very important.

"Here's a piece of news, take a look!" Mu Jing suddenly handed him a piece of cloth with numbers on it.

"One-one-five, one-six-seven, one-one-eight... what?"

Xi Zhi was taken aback for a moment.

"Oh, I forgot!" Mu Jing smiled, took back the original cloth strip, and handed the deciphered message to Xi Zhicai: "This is the code for the subpoena, and you can only see the above message after deciphering it." , Jingwu Division's top-secret news is transmitted in this way, even if it is intercepted halfway, it will not leak the secret!"

"Before I heard that Jing Wusi's channel for transmitting news is unparalleled in the world. It is really not to be underestimated. You can all think of such a method!" Xi Zhicai sighed: "I also think about it. When transmitting news in the army , use this method!"

"It looks complicated, but it's actually very simple. The combination of numbers and fonts. When sending messages, turn the fonts into numbers, and then convert the numbers into fonts when the messages are sent back. Of course, you have to find Get a carrier!"

"Go back and discuss with them, there is a way to do this!"

Xi Zhicai carefully looked at the news above, and after a while, he frowned, and asked: "The news above means that the Xiliang Army is in Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Bingzhou, and they are constantly recruiting young and strong soldiers to serve as soldiers." ?”

"That's the news, but I'm very worried. Dong Zhuo is now under one man and over ten thousand. He holds Xiliang's army in his hands and controls Guanzhong and Liangliang. What do you think he wants to do?"

Mu Jing asked softly.

"The position of the emperor?"

"It's not impossible for him to seek to usurp the throne, but at this time, will he dig his own grave? I don't think so. Even if he has such a heart, smart people like Li Wenyou will guard against his nonsense!"

"My lord's will, the people below may not be able to stop it, just like you, even if we try our best to reason with you, if you want to do it, no one can stop you!"

"Don't make insinuations, I've been pretty quiet lately!"

"Ha ha!"

After joking for a few words and returning to the topic, Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, looked at the news above, thought for a while, and then said: "Accordingly speaking, his Xiliang army is already strong, and it is the most powerful in the world today. It’s not false at all. At this time, he is recruiting troops everywhere to increase his military strength. It’s obviously a militaristic appearance. It doesn’t seem to be in a defensive state, but more..."

"Attack!" Mu Jing said firmly.

"Then the target of his attack?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"I'm afraid there are not many left!" Mu Jing smiled wryly: "After counting and counting, there should not be many people who are worthy of his big fight!"

"Could it be us?"

"It's possible, but we shouldn't be the first to bear the brunt!" Mu Jing thought for a while, but shook his head: "If it was you, do you think Yizhou is easier to fight, or Yuyan and Yanzhou are easier to fight? Yizhou is much stronger after being beaten, Yizhou is naturally dangerous, it’s not just for fun, how much troops will he have to use to knock down my Yizhou’s defense line!"

"When you say that, I have some ideas!" Xi Zhicai flashed a bright light in his eyes.

"Say!"

"My lord, think about it, even if you recruit young men into the army to increase their strength, in a short period of time, these young men will not have much combat power. At most, they will only defend, not attack!"

Xi Zhicai's analysis: "If he wants to defend, who will he defend against? If he is the first to bear the brunt, it must be us. But if he intends to defend against us, then the target of his attack is already obvious!"

"Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao?" Mu Jing asked.

"Is there a possibility of a nest!" Xi Zhicai's thoughts became even bolder.

"If that's the case..." Mu Jing was a little ready to move.

"Forget it!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "We are mainly recuperating now, and it will take time to rectify the army, and even if we want to break up with Guanzhong, I am afraid that we must first settle Jingzhou. It will not be fun if we are stabbed by Jingzhou at that time of!"

"Jingzhou!"

Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, thought for a while, and his eyes became brighter: "Is Jiang Dong attacking Jiaozhou?"

"Ok!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and asked Mujing, "What did you think of?"

"The competition in the world is nothing more than a competition for interests!"

Mu Jing said: "Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, which is more important, he Sun Wentai will not know, if I am willing to join hands with him to eat Jingzhou, will he be willing to give up the battle of Jiaozhou?"

"This..." Xi Zhicai had no answer: "It's hard to say, the key depends on what Sun Wentai thinks!"

"Zhongheng!" Mu Jing acted vigorously and did what he said.

"exist!"

Huo Yu stood up and stood by.

"Let Honglu Division send someone to meet me!"

Mu Jing said: "I want to send envoys to Jiangdong!"
