Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 781: Before the War

After Guan Ji finished speaking, she scanned the bottom again.

Seeing that the faces of the people were mostly worried, and there was no intention of panic, they nodded secretly.

Although the people present here are not too old, or even very young, they can all be regarded as good talents for a while.

She could only hear her continue to speak:

"I was ordered by the lord to temporarily take charge of the affairs of Qiang Xiaowei's mansion. At this time of emergency, I hope that you can work together to help each other until the return of the lord."

After finishing speaking, she clasped her fists neatly, showing a heroic posture.

Zhang Yi and the others hurriedly returned the gift:

"But General Guan, please give me an order, and all the others are willing to obey the order."

Then Guan Ji continued:

"Before the lord left, he had said that he had asked the staff and the secretariat to make a plan for how to deal with any criminals."

As she spoke, her phoenix eyes were full of light, and she swept towards Gongsun Zheng and Zhang Xingyi.

Gongsun Zheng got up quickly: "It is true."

Zhang Xingyi was blessed.

"General Zhang and General Ju are the main generals in the army. I would like to ask the two generals to recall all the soldiers on leave according to the military orders during the war, and follow orders to go out at any time."

"promise!"

"Comfort the public, explain all kinds of affairs with those workshop managers, and the secretariat must not make mistakes."

Zhang Xingyi hurriedly lowered his head and responded with a smooth brow: "Your official understands."

Guan Ji turned her attention to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang had grown impatient for a long time, and when he saw that he was finally waiting, he quickly sat upright with a look of longing on his face.

"Zhao Guang, you lead the cavalry army. Yang Wanwan and Huo Yi are the lieutenant generals. Immediately dispatch troops, pass through the Tanyin Ferry, enter Hexi, and wipe out the Cao bandits in Wuwei Tanyin County."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Zu Li was just to the north of Pingxiang, and originally belonged not to Longyou, but to Wuwei.

Later, with the official restoration of the Han Hu Qiang School Captain's Mansion, Wei Guo had to abandon Zu Li, who had become an isolated city, and retreat to the west of the river.

And Zuli is the place where the Silk North Road must pass, so the Wei army stationed a garrison in Yuyin County on the west bank of the river to prevent the Han army from crossing the river and attacking Guzang, the heart of Wuwei.

Guan Ji's arrangement was to let Zhao Guang lead the army to cross the river and capture Yuyin County on the west side of the river.

"Sister, why don't you go to Longguan or Xiaoguan, but to the west?"

The simple-minded Zhao Guang blurted out the question.

Guan Ji's cold eyes looking at Zhao Guang suddenly became fierce, and her voice was cold and stern: "Bold! Do you want to test my strict military law?"

After the famous general who was beaten into a pig's head by Guan Ji countless times since he was a child, the shadow in his heart suddenly expanded infinitely, and he was terrified: "The general knows his mistake!"

Zhang Ni Goufu and the others all lowered their eyes and remained silent, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Guan Zong led the bodyguard trilogy, and he was the most elite soldier in the Weifu of the Qiang School.

In the various training exercises in Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion, he was invincible in the army.

Both Zhang Ni and Ju Fu suffered a lot under her hands.

In addition, the army is implementing a new military formation, which is from her hands.

So, Guan Ji can sit in this position now, not just because of her nepotism.

What is the difference between General Zhao's "sister" and swatting flies on the head of a tigress?

Sure enough, only a voice from above could be heard:

"After you go down, go get twenty army sticks yourself!"

Seeing Zhao Guang's instantly pale face, Zhang Xingyi couldn't bear to lower his head deeply, and bit his tongue desperately to keep himself from laughing out loud.

At this critical moment, my elder sister was probably thinking of using someone to stand up, so brother Zhao's brother sent it in time.

Sure enough, is he worthy of being that heartless and caring brother?

Regardless of what the people below were thinking, Guan Ji continued with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty has studied the military very deeply. In the past, the reforms in the military have miraculous effects in hindsight."

This is a sentence that is close to blind worship, but everyone present has no objection.

Counting from the most basic level of high-quality soldiers, the Modao team, the heavy crossbows of the Wudang Flying Army, and even the catapult vehicles of the engineering battalion have proved the correctness of this sentence.

"Cao thieves in Liangzhou now mostly gather in Guzang (Wuwei County), which is 500 miles away from Yuyin County. Rescue is not easy. This time crossing the river to attack the thieves should not be a big problem."

Because of the fall of Xiping County and Jincheng County, most of the Wei army in Liangzhou had to retreat to Wuwei Guzang and Zhangye County for key defenses.

The reason why the North Silk Road passing through Zuli was replaced by the South Road and the Middle Road is because the road is difficult to travel and supplies are not easy.

Now the Wei army in Liangzhou is seriously short of troops. Even if they know that Shuyin County is broken, the Han army can drive straight into Wuwei, but they still can only send a small number of troops to garrison.

After all, even if the Han army broke through Tanyin County, it would take at least another 500 miles of wasteland to reach Guzang.

But if the army is placed in Yuyin County, the logistics cannot keep up, and the rescue is not easy, what if the Han army comes directly from Lingju or Xiping?

As for the big man, if it wasn't for better governance of Liangzhou in the future, the army would have been able to cross the river and enter Wuwei.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Guang and the others didn't understand why Guan Ji wanted to provoke the thief Cao on the west side of the river at this time.

"This campaign is to let the three of you better grasp the new cavalry, and to warn the Cao bandits in Hexi not to act rashly."

None of the people present were stupid, when they heard Guan Ji's words, let alone Zhao Guang, even Yang Wanwan and Huo Yi tensed up.

The new type of cavalry has only been tested on the rebellious barbarians - the effect is of course good.

But the Hu people are not Cao thieves, and Cao thieves' elite soldiers are far more powerful than the Hu people.

It is still unknown what the new cavalry will be like before they have a head-to-head confrontation with Cao thief.

General Guan's move is to let the three of them better master the new cavalry, which is indeed true.

But in fact, it is more for them to prove that they can lead this cavalry army.

The thieves in Yuyin County were their test subjects.

After all, Feng Junhou must be right. If they failed to cross the river, it would naturally be the fault of the leading general.

General Guan's approach is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

Of course, Guan Ji had another plan in her heart that she didn't say.

The most important thing in this battle across the river is to test whether the Cao bandits in Liangzhou have any plans to echo the Cao bandits in Guanzhong.

Although the possibility of this is very small, it is always necessary to try before rest assured.

One of the thirty-six strategies is to scare the snake. As the wife of a monarch, how can I not know it?

Guan Ji's eyes became more and more sharp:

"In the past two years, the Huqiang Captain's Mansion has spent the most on new cavalry, and the Lord has high hopes for it."

"If the Cao bandits really invaded aggressively, then the best chance to prove the cavalry army of the Qiang school lieutenant's mansion has come, understand?"

Fighting across the river is a warm-up before the war.

The three of Zhao Guang shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"The matter of crossing the river requires the assistance of the engineering battalion."

Guan Ji looked at Wen Shi, "Anyone who doesn't understand the equipment can go to Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau and ask Mrs. Mei."

"If possible, use the new equipment to Tanyin County, and if you find any problems, come back and report to Mrs. Mei."

Wen Shi quickly stood up and responded, "Follow the general's order."

After Guan Ji finished giving her orders, she glanced at everyone, "Do you have any questions?"

Zhang Ni suggested with some worry:

"General Guan, in my opinion, let Xiping and Jincheng also pretend to act. Otherwise, if the Cao bandits in Liangzhou raise their troops to Tanyin County with all their strength, they should echo the Cao bandits in Guanzhong."

"At that time, the Huqiang Captain's Mansion may have to deal with Hexi with all its strength, and will not be able to help the east."

In case Xu Miao took a gamble and wanted to get in touch with the bandit Cao in Guanzhong, such a move is not impossible.

After hearing this, Guan Ji nodded:

"General Zhang's worries are justified. In the name of protecting Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, I will send official documents to the Longyou Governor's Mansion, but the final arrangement depends on the old General Zhao's wishes."

Although Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion is one level lower than Longyou Dudu's Mansion on the surface, both have considerable autonomy.

The difference is that the Huqiang School Weifu usually manages Liangzhou westward.

The Longyou Governor's Mansion is mainly to the east, and cooperates with Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong at any time.

At the same time, the functions of both parties overlap.

Xiping and Jincheng counties are currently directly under the jurisdiction of Longyou Dudufu, and Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion also has the right to govern the Hu people in Guanzhong.

Whether the two can be closely coordinated depends on the relationship between Xiaowei Qiang and the governor of Longyou.

From the current point of view, the relationship between Captain Feng and Old General Zhao is pretty good.

Zhang Xingyi's big eyes were shining, and he said in a low voice:

"My concubine thought, why don't the army print and distribute a call to action? No, um, didn't the lord and marquis say that more things should be printed and distributed to increase the knowledge of the soldiers in the army."

Everyone here already knows the benefits of promoting reading and literacy in the entire army.

Throughout the history books, ordinary soldiers in the army enthusiastically go to war, only when famous generals lead the army, can it happen.

I don't know how many people outside are waiting to rush to protect the disarmed soldiers of Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, which is even more unprecedented in history.

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, everyone felt that it was reasonable.

Guan Ji nodded: "Then how do you think it is appropriate to write?"

Zhang Xingyi seemed to have been prepared a long time ago: "Why don't we just say 'thieves will never die if they kill me'?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xingyi in amazement, and said in their hearts:

Some time ago, the prince gave a warning to the whole army, saying that the ambition of hunting down thieves should not be slackened, which made the atmosphere in the army austere.

Now, if you add "the thief will not die if you kill me", it will be regarded as the pre-war mobilization of the army.

It seems that it really makes sense for Junhou to let Mrs. Zhang be the secretary of Hu Qiang Xiaowei's mansion.

Guan Ji, however, had other thoughts, looked Zhang Xingyi up and down a few times, and the light in her eyes flashed away:

I clearly remember that this sentence was mentioned by Alang when he talked about the military plan with me after he released the first call to action in the army. How did you know?

It's just that Zhang Xingyi lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, how obedient and obedient he was, so that Guan Ji couldn't find fault, so she gritted her silver teeth secretly:

"The secretariat will issue a draft for this military call to action, and let Mrs. Mei from the Manufacturing Bureau be responsible for printing it out."

"promise."

Zhang Xingyi quickly responded without any hesitation.

After all, teasing a tiger's whiskers is exciting, but it's too dangerous, so be careful.

"Ah..."

Zhao Guanggang said one word, and seeing Guan Ji's sharp eyes looking over, he quickly swallowed the second word:

"General Guan, the cavalry is not good for attacking the city. If only the cavalry is allowed to cross the river, will the casualties be too high?"

"Don't worry, when the time comes, Hu Qiang's captain's mansion will call Hu Renyi to follow him. After breaking through Yuyin County, some tribes will be moved to Hexi to graze."

Zhang Xingyi was a little worried: "Will moving the tribe to Hexi to graze will cause the Hu people to renounce?"

Guan Ji's face was determined, "Over the past two years, they have received so many benefits, now is the time to show their loyalty to the big man."

"Big Han can admit that they are the people of the Han family, but they must also show the courage and responsibility to become the people of the Han family."

"If they can't do this, then they don't have the qualifications to become the people of the Han family. The revival of the Han family depends on the children of the Han family, not on the Hu Yi!"

"Here is a big man. They really want to betray the big man because of this matter. Could it be that the saber in the captain's mansion of Hu Qiang is not strong enough?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room involuntarily straightened up.

China is dressed in Han Jiayin, who is in charge of the world?

Only Zhang Xingyi stuck out her tongue secretly.

Hanyiruyi is a national policy implemented by the great Han. I heard that the unconscionable man also participated in the formulation of this policy. Now it seems that he is indeed far-sighted.

Sister's words and deeds, according to the previous practice, there is nothing wrong with it, but now I don't know if it is appropriate to say it outright?

But no matter how Zhang Xingyi thinks about it, Guan Ji is currently in power in name in Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion.

Now that she has made an arrangement, the people below must carry it out without compromise.

The news that "there is going to be another war" spread in Pingxiang at an extremely fast speed.

Ping Xiang went up and down, and immediately moved when he heard the wind.

Over the past few years, while the Great Han was victorious, the people's grain tanks were finally able to store some grain.

Of course, Cangtou Guishou doesn't know what the improvement of production tools is, let alone what is the rapid development of productivity.

So they had an illusion: the more the big man wins the battle, the easier life will be for his family.

If you don't have to fight, it would be the best.

It's just that in the world today, in what year will no one die?

The death of the whole family due to fleeing from the famine and the army can be seen everywhere. If only one member of the family joins the army and saves the whole family to live a good life, that is a thing to be thankful for.

After all, the justice and strictness of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the rotation of sergeants, and the standards for joining the army are relatively well implemented.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. As long as everyone is like this, the common people will not have too much resentment in their hearts.

As for the army of the Huqiang School Weifu, which is descended from the Nanxiang Department, that's not to mention.

As the place with the best welfare for soldiers in the army, there have been no major or minor battles in the past few years, and the benefits received by soldiers in the army have not been interrupted.

And those new capitals, no matter the experience or lessons learned in the past few years, finally understand a truth: there are huge profits in war.

So the ethos of being happy after hearing the war, unexpectedly took shape in such a strange way.

The first to react is the greedy and keen capital.

Many people gathered together as soon as they heard the news, trying to exchange information with each other.

The difference from the beginning is that the crowd is no longer just workshop managers.

The most eye-catching among them is the barbarian who speaks Chinese with a strange accent.

After Nanzhong was pacified, many tribes in Nanzhong directly attacked those tribes who refused to obey the discipline in order to join the five captains.

While accumulating political capital, while accumulating primitive wealth, he finally made a gorgeous turn, actively responded to the policies of the big man, and opened a plantation.

The operation cannot be said to be unsatisfactory.

These leaders of Longyou Hu people are actually a replica of the leaders of the five tribes of Nanzhong.

Hugging tightly to the thighs of Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, first sold the heads of the pro-Wei tribe, and then half-sold the heads of his own tribe.

As long as the interests of the pasture are good, what kind of fart is it to sell some clansmen?

What's more, if the clansman is converted into a registered population, he doesn't have to bear the rations himself, so wouldn't he earn more?

So the grassland owner who contracted the grassland and the emerging capital hooked up so happily.

The main question they discussed was: where to fight? What can we do?

As for how many enemies there are... I haven't considered it for the time being.
