Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1737 Decisive battle against Shangdang 24

eldest son city.

In the quiet city, the people didn't feel like they were surviving after a catastrophe, but were always in a state of war.

They also didn't have much trust in the Ming army occupying the city.

Perhaps it was the years of war that made the common people a little numb to war. As long as the Ming army didn't break into the house, they were still very docile.

After a period of time, the arable land that should be cultivated, the work that should be done, the streets have regained some popularity, and some shops have also begun to open.

Wearing a robe, Mu Jing walked on this desolate street, looking at the people on the left and right who seemed to be passing by, who seemed to be selling things at stalls, but seemed to be hiding.

There was a trace of helplessness and sigh in his heart: "War does a lot of harm!"

They should have lived and worked in peace.

But here comes the war.

When the war comes, no one can avoid being implicated. As long as there is a war, whether the city is destroyed or not, the common people will be implicated.

"Your Majesty, war is unavoidable. The only thing we can do is to stop the war with war and bring peace to the world!"

A young man was also wearing a Confucian robe, behind Mu Jing.

"Ji Chang, what do you think, can we achieve peace in the world!"

Mu Jing smiled. Although he was touched, the tears that should have been shed had been shed many years ago, and his heart had already turned bloody.

He looked at the young man and asked softly.

"can!"

The young man said firmly.

"It's good to have self-confidence, and I believe in it, I can!" Mu Jing nodded in agreement.

This young man is a member of the general staff, one of the marching chiefs next to Mu Jing, Ma Liang and Ma Jichang.

The five members of the Ma family have the best white eyebrows.

He is Ma Di's elder brother in the allusion of Zhuge Liang beheading Ma Di with tears, a scholar, knowledgeable about government affairs, and good at military strategy.

He once came out of Hongdu School, and entered Jingping Wubeitang for further study.

It's a talent.

Now as a general in the staff department, Chen Gong regards him very highly.

Mu Jing also has a bit of nurturing thoughts on him.

In any era, talents are the most important thing. Ma Liang's ability may be more powerful than what was said in history, and systematic study has allowed him to increase his ability not only in government affairs, but also in military strategy. has grown.

If he can jump out of the scope of the Privy Council in the future, maybe he will have the opportunity to enter Zhaoming Pavilion as Prime Minister.

Of course, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Of the ten geniuses, one or two who can make it to the top are not bad, but this cannot hinder that Mujing attaches great importance to talents. Persevering talents are very inclusive.

"Your Majesty, the situation on the front line is not very clear. Do we need to continue to increase our troops?" Ma Liang, who had been praised, couldn't help showing it.

Usually such a great counselor is here, and it is not his turn to let a small counselor give advice. Now that Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong are not here, this small counselor naturally has to show his ability in front of Mujing.

"Why don't you see clearly enough!"

Mujing still respects young people's desire to express themselves.

After all, he, who has been a human being for two lives, also came from a young age. He is not old, but in terms of mentality, he is actually a little old.

"If there is good news, I'm afraid the general will have sent it back long ago!"

Ma Liang said in a low voice.

"Ji Chang, many things can't be seen on the surface. If he can understand Zhang Wenyuan's thoughts, you can become a general!" Mu Jing smiled, shook his head, and said softly: "There is no news, sometimes it is Great news!"

The general will be outside, and the military orders will not be accepted.

From another point of view, it can be said that people are fighting on the front line, and you don't know what the whole situation is like, and even mobilizing some shit, isn't that adding to the chaos.

Mu Jing's style, if he believes in a person, he will naturally believe to the end.

He believed in Zhang Liao.

He would not doubt Zhang Liao.

Sending the Sixth Army of the Sun and Moon up was already the most he could do. This was also secretly putting pressure on Zhang Liao and telling Zhang Liao that time waits for no one.

As for how to fight, he will not interfere.

"and……"

Mu Jing looked at him with a smile: "Ji Chang, where do you plan to conjure up a force to reinforce, and now the main force of our Ming army is already on the bright side!"

In the beginning, the Ming army was in the dark, and the Yan army was in the light. Now the Ming army and the Yan army are in the light, and the Wei army is in the dark.

If there is no news from the main force of the Wei army, Mu Jing can't feel at ease for a day.

This battle was a bit uncomfortable.

However, since it is a decisive battle, it is not always smooth sailing. A quick battle is also what Mu Jing thinks. If he can draw the feudal lords in one battle and rule the world, then he will be able to obtain a peaceful world in the early years.

"Not necessarily not!"

Ma Liang said: "Although we only have the guards around us, we can recruit some young and strong soldiers from the Shangdang to serve as sergeants. After all, we have won consecutive battles, and there are many weapons in the warehouse. Equipped with weapons and armor, they can also Make a difference!"

"You are sending them up to die!" Mu Jing shook his head: "This approach is not advisable. Not only will it not help us, but it will also bring us immeasurable losses!"

"loss?"

Ma Liang didn't understand.

"Do you think that sending them to the battlefield is just equipped with some weapons and equipment?" Mu Jing shook his head, pointing ahead, and said, "Ji Chang, look, there is a rice cake stand in front, a man, and a man next to him." The woman and the two children, if we send this man to the battlefield and he can't come back, even for this family, for this woman and these two children, what kind of impact will it have?"

Ma Liang gritted his teeth and said after a while, "If we can't win, the world will still be in chaos and the war will never end. Will their family be able to live in peace!"

"Account, that's not how it is calculated!"

Mu Jing said: "We represent the Ming court, we have to do it to win, we can't kill the chicken to get the eggs, because doing so will make the Ming court lose its foundation!"

He patted Ma Liang on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "Ji Chang, you are a very smart person, but sometimes you have to learn to think about the impact of every decision you make on others. To care about the consequences, it depends on the occasion. For the Ming Dynasty Hall, it can't be done, because we exist for the people, and my foundation is the people. Even if these people may not be our people, the existence of the Ming Dynasty Hall requires With such a belief, our soldiers went to the battlefield with this belief!"

Sometimes there is nothing wrong with being kind, and a temporary predicament cannot break the rules of Ming Dynasty. The Ming army will not temporarily recruit young and strong, this is the rule.

Every soldier who goes to the battlefield must either recruit prisoners, or must come out of the new barracks and have a certain ability to protect himself.

He can send countless sons to the battlefield with a single word, but what will come back will be corpses one by one, and what will be destroyed is one family after another.

The closer he is to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, the Sovereign of the World, the more cautious Mu Jing is, and he is cautious about every decision he makes.

"Your subordinate has been educated!" Ma Liang lowered his head and bowed his hands in salute.

"It's okay, you can't figure it out now, but one day, when you rule the country, maybe you will be able to figure it out!" Mu Jing didn't force it. In a sense, Ma Liang's idea was right, and it even fit this era. All thoughts.

But if Mujing wants to create a new era, he must have his own persistence. It is not easy to establish rules, but it is easy to break them.

"His Majesty!"

A fast horse came galloping, and in front of Mu Jing, an orderling jumped off the horse, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Jing Wu Si urgent report!"

"Where!"

"The commander is waiting for His Majesty in the lobby, it is extremely urgent!"

"go!"

Mu Jing asked the people behind to lead the horses, and a group of people got on the horses and returned to the lobby of the government office. In the lobby, Tan Zong, who was sticking a cane, looked a little impatient.

"What happened?" Mu Jing frowned.

"Yue Shu just sent news!"

Tan Zongdao: "dictated!"

"problem occurs?"

"It's probably trapped!" Tan Zongdao: "Yue Shu can protect himself. He is such a cautious person, and he will not put himself in a position that is too dangerous for others. Now he does not pass notes, but transmits news by dictation. Afraid of being intercepted!"

"What's the matter?"

"The first one is that the main force of the Wei army has occupied Hanoi, cutting off the connection between us and Luo Yang!"

"In medical treatment!"

"The second news is that the Wei army set out from Chaoge three days ago, aiming at Huguan, with a force of [-] troops, the vanguard general, Lu Bu!"

"Lu Fengxian has gone north?"

Mu Jing sneered: "It seems that Cao Mengde is not far away!"

"Your Majesty means that Cao Cao is also here?"

"Since he can give up Yuzhou, Xudu, and not hesitate to gather all the main forces to fight me desperately, then he will definitely come in person!" Mu Jing said calmly.

This point, he has long been prepared in mind.

"There is one more thing!"

"Say, don't hesitate!"

"Ma Chao was defeated in Taiyuan, and the Yueqi Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Almost the entire army was wiped out. He rushed out of the encirclement with several cavalry and disappeared!"

"How come?" Mu Jing stared.

Ma Mengqi, a Xiliang horse, is so ferocious that there are very few people who can stop him, even Zhao Yun, a peerless famous general, may not be able to defeat him.

Moreover, he is a general on horseback. Even if the troops of the Yueqi Battalion are not many, it is enough for him to intersperse vertically and horizontally. As long as he is not stupid and fights mobile, the defeat will not be so miserable.

"Xianbei cavalry plus Baima Yicong, Ke Bineng teamed up with Zhao Yun, and almost beheaded the commander of Ma Chao!" Tan Zong said: "Now the Xianbei cavalry has become clear. Although the strength of the army is still unclear, it will not exceed [-] elite soldiers. , is heading south with Zhao Yun to reinforce Liu Bei!"

"Liu Xuande, you really invited the Xianbei cavalry down!" Mu Jing sneered.

Liu Bei, who loves fame, thought he would not dare to take this step, but now it seems that life and death on the battlefield are still more important than his own reputation.

He invited the Xianbei cavalry to go south, which was tantamount to breaking the undefeated golden body of Uncle Liu Huang on his body, even if he could agree to the two states of Youji in the future.

The hope of returning to the court and taking control of the Han Dynasty is probably also broken.

For many years in the Han Dynasty, although the main enemy was the Xiongnu, the foreign races they had always fought against were mainly the Huns. However, the casualties caused by Xianbei on the border over the years were enough to make countless Han people hate to the bone.

Mu Jing dared to recruit foreign races, such as the Western Qiang tribe, the 36 cave barbarians in Shiwan Dashan, it was because of his origin.

As a vassal with a bad background, what he doesn't shy away from the most is the so-called reputation. As long as he is strong enough to control it, he doesn't care what others say.

But Cao Cao and Liu Bei are different. They are based on Shilin, and most of their talents are influenced by Shilin.

With such an influence, even if Mu Jing was defeated, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to compete with Cao Cao in the future.

But Mujing still understood Liu Bei somewhat.

Under such circumstances, if Liu Bei doesn't leave a backup for himself, I'm afraid he won't have any chance to stand on the chessboard to play games now.

This battle, on the contrary, gave his backhand a slight possibility of a comeback.

Of course, Mujing believed in Zhang Liao.

Although the Xianbei cavalry is powerful, it will take time for them to go south from Taiyuan and enter the battlefield.

As long as Zhang Liao defeats the main force of the Yan army as soon as possible.

At that time, the Xianbei cavalry will come to give away the head. After all, on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are facing each other, that little Xianbei cavalry is not enough for Zhang Liao to kill.

"Alright!"

Mu Jing sneered: "It's time to teach Xianbei a lesson. If you dare to meddle in the struggle in the Central Plains, then I will let them come and go!"

He can forgive the Huns a little bit, but he will not hold back the Xianbei.

in the history he knows.

Those who killed the Han people in the Central Plains into rivers and treated the Han people like two-legged sheep are the Xianbei tribe. Their rise is based on the blood of the Han people.

"Your Majesty, do you need to inform the general?" Tan Zong asked.

"Need not!"

Mu Jing said: "Tell Chen Gong what you want. As for Zhang Liao, let him concentrate on the battle and don't put too much pressure on him. You pass on my military order and order Chen Gong to divide an army and build a line on the eastern front that can suppress the cavalry. A line of defense for more than three days!"

It was the best way he could think of.

If the Xianbei cavalry could go south quickly, then with such a line of defense, Zhang Liao would be able to buy more time.

"promise!"

"As for the Wei army, you continue to inquire!" Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I must know that the clearest deployment of troops must not have any mistakes or omissions!"

He sighed.

Although a line of defense has been established at Huguan, it is still unknown whether it can stop the main force of the Wei army from going north.

Cao Cao won't give him too much time.

Therefore, he must know enough information before he can respond, otherwise he may not be able to hold back for long if he is caught off guard.

"promise!"

Tan Zong nodded.

"His Majesty!"

"Enter!"

"There is news from the battlefield that our army has pressed into twenty miles, fought fiercely with the main force of the Yan army, and defeated them!"

"good news!"

Mu Jing's eyes brightened, Zhang Liao's speed was really fast enough.

If the fight continues like this, the Ming army can defeat the main force of the Yan army within a limited time.
