Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1720 Decisive Battle at Shangdang Seven

Huguan.

The frontline headquarters of the Ming Army.

In the middle camp, Mujing is surrounded by a huge sand table, pacing back and forth, staring at the mountains and rivers in this sand table.

The war has broken out.

At this time, any small factor will affect the direction of the entire battle.

Moreover, the Ming army is still caught in a mentality of attacking from top to bottom. Such a situation will put a lot of pressure on people, including the generals.

"Any news from Luo Yang?"

Mu Jing suddenly asked.

"no!"

Xi Zhicai stood up, shook his head, and responded to Mu Jing, saying: "No news may be good news. If it is really breached, I am afraid that the news has already spread, and our grain road is still open. Today there are two It’s not a big problem to transport batches of grain and grass!”

"Xu Yuanzhi still has high hopes. In addition, if Pang Xi can rush back, the two of them will join forces, and Gongsun Du will not be able to turn the tide!"

Mu Jing patted the back of his head, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Then what is His Majesty worried about?"

Chen Gong seemed to see Mu Jing's uneasy mood, he bowed his hands and asked in a low voice.

"do not know!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly, and said: "I always feel as if I have forgotten something, and there is always a deadly threat hanging over me!"

This is the feeling on the battlefield.

He went to the battlefield with his father at the age of 12, and now, after fighting for more than ten years, perhaps because of his unique and extraordinary soul, he will always feel some special sense of threat on the battlefield.

This feeling is very mysterious, and there is no basis for it. Many people sometimes ignore it, but Mujing absolutely does not.

Because he trusts his own feelings.

And on the battlefield, it is better to believe that the danger is always there than to believe that one's own is safe. It is better to be wrong than to ignore any mistakes.

"Your Majesty is still worried about Wei Jun!" Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

"Zhicai hit the mark!"

Mu Jing nodded and looked at the terrain to the south of the sand table: "Accordingly, it is impossible for Cao Mengde to send troops to the north, and even if there are, they are only small-scale troops and horses, which cannot affect the overall situation!"

"But His Majesty is still worried!" Xi Zhicai added.

"What I'm worried about is his whole body!"

Mu Jing said softly: "Cao Mengde is an eternal hero, he dares to do things that others dare not!"

"For example, when he escaped from Luoyang back then, I didn't believe he would kill Lu Boshe in the end. This person is indeed capable of ordinary people!"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile.

When he killed Lu Boshe's family back then, he could understand Cao Cao's desperation, but in the end he knew he was wrong and killed Lu Boshe. This was the reason why he and Cao Cao parted ways.

"General Huang won't give him a chance!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said: "With the strength of our Jingping and Violent Bear, as long as we forcefully attack and drag their main force to the Yuzhou front, it will be no problem!"

He has deduced this point many times, and he always believes that there is no way for Wei Jun to break away from this front.

"I think so too!" Chen Gong looked at the sand table and said, "Wei Jun can't fly either, can they still fly over!"

"I hope I'm thinking too much!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "Maybe it's because of too much pressure recently, or Liu Bei's stalking tactics, which made me think too much!"

On the one hand, it was because of his own uneasiness, and on the other hand, it was also because Liu Bei's Yan army still had to fight to the death with him under such circumstances, which made him always feel that he had missed something.

"Your Majesty, don't think too much!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Now how to win this battle is the most important thing. The Yan army has already attacked from the flanks of the eldest son. Let alone whether they can capture the eldest son city. For them, Shangdang is defeated. No problem, but we can't!"

He said with a wry smile: "Now the eldest son city is ours, so when we fight, we need to be a bit wary!"

This is the difference between home games and away games.

They changed the way, and now the home game and the away game have been switched. In the next battle, the Ming army has the mentality of playing at home, but does not have the advantage of playing at home.

So facing the Yan army, they still need to be cautious.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded and said, "Eldest Son City cannot be defended!"

"If we can attack, the casualties we have paid are too great!"

"no way!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "Whether it is from the perspective of the people of Shangdang or from the influence of our Ming Dynasty's entry into Shangdang, the sacrifice is greater now than it will take ten or twenty years to slowly influence Much better!"

He is an emperor, the emperor can't just focus on the things on the battlefield, he needs to be responsible for the entire Ming court, since Shangdang is already owned by Ming, he has to think about it from the perspective of Ming.

"Then His Majesty means..."

Xi Zhicai looked at Mujing.

"What do you think?" Mu Jing asked back.

"If you want to counterattack and turn defensively, you have to change the tactical arrangement. It's hard to make a big deal just relying on them. We need to attack first!"

Play Zhicai.

"If we attack, will there be a big problem!"

Mujing asked again.

"will not!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head, pointed at the sand table and said, "Actually, in terms of the current situation, we are in the east and the main force of the Yan army is in the west. There is still room for them to attack and retreat. This may not be a good thing for our campaign. A good thing, we can find a way to suppress their living space!"

Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai, and said with a smile: "Have you already arranged the Artillery Army into your tactical arrangement?"

Otherwise, there is no need to suppress the living space.

Although the second-generation artillery of the Artillery Army is easy to use, it needs to concentrate the enemy forces to exert the greatest effect. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted may not be very strong.

"His Majesty!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "The Artillery Army is our greatest advantage, and it is also the best way for us to make the Yan Army surrender!"

After he smiled, he couldn't help but sigh: "We also want to take our time, the hidden knife is more threatening, but now, if we continue to hide like this, it will increase the casualties of our army, and it will delay They will even take advantage of this to attack our military morale, once the military morale is frustrated, our army will face the possibility of being backlashed by them no matter how good the weapons are!"

Why didn't he know that the Artillery Army was a strategic weapon, but in the current situation, they didn't need it anymore.

Mujing considered it for a while.

As far as their strategic deployment is concerned, it is still too early to take out the Artillery Army. After all, their goal is to end the troubled times and unify the world.

Then the artillery army has to make good use of it. If it can't make good use of it, it will definitely not be able to exert its greatest advantage, and it will be impossible to crush the enemy's heart in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

Although the artillery army is powerful, it is troublesome to transport artillery at the beginning. In addition, the production of shells for the red cannons is not very plentiful. It is not a decisive strategy. The consumption is too large and the force is too small.

"You are right!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, then shook his head: "But I think it's still unusable for the time being. We don't have enough artillery. If it is wasted on Yan Jun, how can we face Wei Jun!"

A sharp light burst out of his eyes: "I always believe that the Wei army is our biggest enemy. Only by defeating the Wei army can we have the possibility of unifying the world!"

Liu Bei and Cao Cao, if he wants to choose the strongest one, he thinks Cao Cao is stronger, not only in terms of character, but also in terms of accumulation. Wei Jun is much stronger than Yan Jun.

Especially in the battle of Guandu, the Wei army fought beautifully. With the soldiers who surrendered without fighting, they not only made up for the losses lost in the battle of Wancheng, but also improved their strength.

Today's Wei army is the biggest enemy of the Ming army.

Chen Gong also spoke at this time, and said: "I agree with what Your Majesty said, so no matter how great the danger is, compared with our strategic deployment, I think we should bear it!"

Xi Zhi was silent.

"His Majesty!"

At this time Jingwu Si Yueshu walked in.

"Say!"

"A secret melody transmitted from Xihe!"

"Xihe?"

Mu Jing frowned, and asked Yue Shu: "Does your Jingwu Division have any plans in Xihe?"

"The commander suggested to His Majesty before, to lobby Zhang Xiu!" Yue Shu said softly, "He did it himself!"

"Lobby Zhang Xiu?"

Mu Jing opened the secret note, looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Tan Zong is really courageous, if he can succeed, I will record this achievement for him!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu has a lot of hatred for us Daming!"

Xi Zhicai said in a low voice.

"How can there be so much ruthlessness in the troubled times!" Mu Jing shrugged: "The revenge of killing my father back then was so implicated. If I really want to kill people, I have to behead the whole world!"

He sighed: "Although the hatred is in our hearts, none of us can avoid it, but sometimes, we have to face the reality!"

"The reality today is that if Zhang Xiu continues to work for Liu Bei, he may not end well. If he can vote under my Ming banner, he may still have a chance of survival!"

"Zhang Xiu is not a fool. Whether it is public or private, he will have to consider for himself, for the soldiers of Liangzhou under his command!"

Chen Gong's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "Did Commander Tan succeed?"

"Still talking!"

Mu Jing said: "Tan Zong asked me for authority, if Zhang Xiu doesn't give some promises, he dare not surrender!"

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"Give!"

Mu Jing walked up to the desk, spread out the cloth, picked up a pen and wrote some words, then sealed the faith, handed it to Yue Shu, and said: "Hurry up and send it to Xihe to help Tan Zong!"

"promise!"

Yue Shu took the order and left.

"Also, Jingwusi not only keeps an eye on Xihe's situation, but also pulls through Luo Yang's information. Tan Zong is not here. I don't want Jingwusi to become deaf or blind!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jing Wusi will not disappoint His Majesty. We have opened up Luoyang's news network, and we have gone south to contact Guanzhong. Even in Yuzhou, we are about to send news back!"

Yue Shu said.

"Hopefully!" Mu Jing said, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, I have given Jing Wusi such great power, if Jing Wusi disappoints me, then don't blame me for not helping you!"

"Yes!"

Yue Shu was startled and said hastily.

After he walked out of the camp, he said to the people under his command: "Immediately send someone to urge Luo Yang's news, and activate the dark men in the Wei army. We must pass back the Wei army's news to me, as well as the news from Yuzhou." , don’t miss any of them!”

"As ordered!"

Jing Wusi and a few small flags quickly went to make arrangements.

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

in camp.

"How does His Majesty put pressure on them, not afraid that they will collapse!"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Good steel should be used on the blade!" Mu Jing said calmly: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. On the battlefield, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. It is very important to have good news. Now it is impossible to rely on scouts. Only Only Jing Wusi can let us continue to know the enemy's situation!"

He couldn't help sighing: "Although in terms of the situation, our army is still safe, but there is always a sense of crisis in my heart, and I can't let it go!"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "The situation seems to be good now, but it may not be good to go, so be careful not to make a mistake!"

"Call Huang Shao and Deng Xian!"

Mu Jing suddenly said: "This time I have to take the initiative, I can't wait here at Huguan forever!"

"His Majesty is ready?"

"I have to put some pressure on Liu Bei myself to see what he has behind me. I really don't believe that he dares to fight me to the death here!"

Mu Jing said viciously.

Since he couldn't figure out the existence of a sense of crisis, he acted first, and after defeating Liu Bei, he said that if he wanted to defeat the Yan army, no matter how serious the crisis was, he could bear it.

"Prosecution?"

Xi Zhicai frowned a little.

"rest assured!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "I'm not a fool, the front line is so dangerous, how could I take the risk myself, I still have to shoulder the responsibility of Daming!"

He smiled and said, "However, I always want to give Liu Bei some surprises!"

Pointing to the terrain on the sand table, he said, "That's why I want to go to the eldest son city myself!"

"I personally sit in the eldest son city!"

Mu Jing said in a loud voice: "I don't believe it, he Liu Bei sees me, he can still remain indifferent, as long as he moves, we have a chance!"

"Your Majesty, is this too dangerous!"

Chen Gong said quickly.

"Danger?"

Mu Jing smiled: "On the battlefield, there is no safe place. Is Huguan safe? Luoyang is safe!"

Xi Zhicai and Chen Gonglue seemed silent.

This is true.

As long as you don't go to the front line to fight in person, it doesn't really matter where you are on the battlefield. Even in Luoyang, it may not be safe.

"Then on the Eastern Front?"

"You are responsible for it yourself!" Mu Jing looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, you have the power to plan, but you lack the experience of fighting in person. This time, I will give you a chance. You will be responsible for how and when to fight on the eastern front." , what you say counts!"

"Your Majesty, I..." Chen Gong hesitated a little, because he had no problem in coordinating the strategy, but he seldom did such a thing when he personally directed it.

"Be more confident!"

Mu Jing smiled and said, "I believe in you!"

"Since your majesty has such high hopes, I will never let your majesty down!" Chen Gong gritted his teeth and agreed. This is an opportunity that cannot be lost.
