Chapter 782 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 sign of panic, they nodded secretly.

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

  I only heard her continue to speak:

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

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

  Zhang Yi and others hurriedly returned the gift:

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

  Guan Ji then continued:

   "Before the Marquis left, he had said that he had asked the staff and the secretariat to make a plan, and how to deal with it if there were thieves coming."

   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 order during the war, and follow the order to go out at any time."

   "No!"

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

  Zhang Xingyi hastily bowed his head and responded, "I understand."

  Guan Ji set her eyes on Zhao Guang.

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

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

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

  Zu Li is just to the north of Pingxiang, originally it didn't belong to Longyou, but to Wuwei.

   Later, with the official restoration of the Han Hu Qiang Xiaowei Mansion, Wei Guo had to give up Zu Li, which had become an isolated city, and retreat to the west of the river.

   And Zuli is the only place that must pass through the North Silk Road, 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 across 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 looked at Zhao Guang's cold eyes suddenly became sharp, 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 many times since he was a child, the shadow in his heart suddenly expanded infinitely, and he was so frightened: "The general knows his mistake!"

   Zhang Yi Jufu and the others all lowered their eyes and remained silent, as if they hadn't heard anything.

  Guan is engaged in leading the bodyguard trilogy, and he is the most elite soldier in the Huqiang School Weifu.

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

   Zhang Ni and Ju Fu both suffered from her subordinates.

  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 nepotism.

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

   Sure enough, I could only hear the voice from above:

   "After going down, go and get twenty army sticks!"

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

  At such a critical moment, I was afraid that my sister was thinking of using someone to stand up, and the elder brother of the Zhao family sent it in time.

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

  Guan Ji didn't care what the people below were thinking, and continued with a serious expression:

   "Your Majesty has done a lot of research on the military. In the past, the restructuring of the military has had miraculous effects in hindsight."

   This is a sentence that is almost worshiped blindly, but everyone present has no objection.

  Starting 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 defense.

  The reason why the North Silk Road passing through Zuli will be 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 Yuyin 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 Yuyin 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 Han, 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 is precisely because of this that Zhao Guang and others don't understand why Guan Ji wants to provoke Cao thief on the west side of the river at this time.

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

   None of the people present were stupid. Hearing what Guan Ji said, not to mention 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.

   Before confronting Cao thief head-on, what the new cavalry will look like is still unknown.

  General Guan’s move was to allow the three of them to better master the new cavalry, which is indeed true.

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

  The bandits in Tanyin 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 still had a plan in mind 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 this possibility is very small, you have to try before you can 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 fierce:

   "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 are serious about aggressively invading, then the best chance to prove that the cavalry army of the Qiang school lieutenant's mansion has arrived, understand?"

  Crossing the river to fight is the warm-up before the war.

  Zhao Guang and the three of them shouted in unison: "Understood!"

   "For crossing the river, we need the assistance of the engineering battalion."

  Guan Ji looked at Wen Shi, "Anyone who is confused about the equipment can go to Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau and ask Mrs. Mei."

   "If it is possible, I will also use the new equipment to Yuyin County, and if there is any problem, I will report it to Mrs. Mei."

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

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

  Zhang Ni suggested with some worry:

   "General Guan, according to someone, it is better to 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 School Weifu will have to deal with Hexi with all its strength, and will not be able to assist the east."

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

  Guan Ji nodded after hearing this:

   "General Zhang's concern is justified. In the name of protecting Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, I will send official documents to the Longyou Dudu Mansion, but how to arrange it in the end depends on the old general Zhao's intention."

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

  The difference is that the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion usually manages Liangzhou westward.

  The Longyou Dudufu mainly faces east, and cooperates with Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong at any time.

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

  The two counties of Xiping and Jincheng are currently directly under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Governor's Mansion, and the Huqiang Xiaowei 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.

   So far, 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 not publish a call to action in the army? That's not the case, um, didn't the junhou say that more things should be printed and distributed, so that the soldiers in the army can increase their knowledge."

  The benefits of promoting reading and literacy in the entire army are known to everyone present.

  Throughout the history books, ordinary soldiers in the army enthusiastically go to war, which can happen only when a famous general leads the army.

  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 for a long time: "Why don't we just say 'the thief will never die if he kills me'?"

  Everyone looked at Zhang Xingyi in amazement, thinking:

  A few days 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 "thieves will not die if you kill me", it will be regarded as a pre-war mobilization in 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, on the other hand, had other thoughts. She 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 of this military call-to-action, and let Lady Mei of the Manufacturing Bureau be responsible for printing it out."

   "No."

  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, saw Guan Ji's eyes looking over sharply, and 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 Xiaowei's Mansion will call Hu Renyi to follow. 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 for grazing cause the alienation of the Hu people?"

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

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

   "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!"

   "This is a big man. They really want to betray the big man because of this matter. Isn't the saber of the Huqiang Captain's Mansion not strong enough?"

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

  Huaxia dresses in Hanjiayin, who will rule the world?

  Only Zhang Xingyi stuck out his 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.

  My sister’s words and deeds are fine according to the previous practice, but now I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say it clearly?

  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 of "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.

  In the past few years, while the Han Dynasty has been victorious, the people's grain tanks have finally been able to store some grain.

  Changtou Guishou certainly does not know what is the improvement of production tools, 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 need to fight, it would be the best.

   It's just that in today's world, what year will people not die?

  The death of the whole family due to desertion and desertion 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 prime minister of the Han Dynasty is fair and strict, the rotation of sergeants, and the standards for joining the army are relatively well implemented.

   Don't worry about being few, but about unevenness. 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, let alone.

  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 that soldiers in the army have received have not been interrupted.

   There are also those emerging capitals, whether it is the experience or lessons learned in the past few years, they finally understand a truth: wars also have huge profits.

  So the ethos of being happy after hearing the war, unexpectedly formed such a strange sign.

   The first thing 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.

  Different from the beginning, the crowd is no longer just workshop managers.

  Among them, the most eye-catching one is the barbarian who speaks a strange Chinese dialect.

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

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

  Operation cannot be said to be unsexy.

  These leaders of the Hu people in Longyou are actually a replica of the leaders of the five tribes of the South Central Committee.

  Holding 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 tribe members?

   What's more, if you convert the clansmen into registered population, you don't have to bear the rations yourself, so don't you 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 yet.
