Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 620
Mujing didn't stay in Chenggu for long, and returned to Nanzheng soon.

"It's much more lively here!"

Back at the door, Mujing glanced around and said with a smile.

The area around the mansion became more and more lively. Vendors and shops were set up one after another, people came and went, and there was a lot of voices. Generally speaking, this kind of situation can only be seen in the city, such as in places like the outskirts of the city. It is rare.

This also shows the specialness of Minghou Mansion.

"My lord, the exchanges between our officials will definitely bring a lot of things, and after the completion of the road between Nanzheng and our Minghou Mansion, it will only take half an hour to go back to the city from here!"

Yi Ji said in a low voice: "The tax in the city is high, there are many peddlers, or businessmen, they would rather sell their things here, so that they can go to the city, and they have to pay the city tax when entering the city!"

Last year, Nanzheng County and the Taishou's Mansion jointly invested in building a road running through Minghou's Mansion and Nanzheng County.

In this way, the demand for exchanges has been greatly attracted.

Minghou is now the king of Hanzhong, and the establishment of this mansion is still the core of Hanzhong. There are many people who linger around here, which drives the population flow and the economy. Even if it is not as prosperous as Nanzheng City, its topography is almost the same.

"That's good!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "But since the surroundings of our Minghou Mansion are so lively, don't people have the foresight to build a mansion around them?"

"Why not, to the west of Minghou Mansion, more than 100 mu of land has already been enclosed by a rice merchant in the city. They said where they plan to build a mansion, and it is only 400 meters away from our Minghou Mansion!"

"It seems that there are still people who dare to eat crabs!"

Mu Jing was happy to see all this. He built the Minghou Mansion in the suburbs, naturally he wanted to form a city in scale, and he hoped that Nanzheng City could be expanded and not confined within the city walls.

There is a lot of land around Nanzheng. If the price is raised, it will be enough for the Minghou Mansion to make a fortune.

"My lord, there is one more thing. Two piers have been built 800 meters south of Minghou Mansion, on the south bank of the Han River!" Yiji took the opportunity to report again: "I heard that neither of these two piers are our funds. It was built by those family gentry in the city, and it was established as a joint venture!"

The Minghou Mansion is backed by mountains and rivers. In front of the mansion is the Hanshui River Basin that runs through Hanzhong.

The Hanshui River is the largest river basin in Hanzhong, and it is also the largest shipping route in Hanzhong.

Many caravans take goods through the Hanshui waterway.

Building a pier here, many people are willing to disembark from here, because after disembarking here, there is a direct road to the county seat, and they can also observe the buildings of Minghou Mansion. This building of Minghou Mansion is definitely the most landmark in Hanzhong The building, whether it is shape or height, is much higher than other buildings.

"No one is a fool. As long as someone sees the benefits, someone will naturally move. No matter whether it is a merchant or an aristocratic family, they will not be left behind!"

Mu Jing doesn't care, whoever does it is not doing it, as long as it is beneficial to the development of Hanzhong, it is a good thing: "It seems that after all the houses in the northwest area of ​​our Minghou Mansion are completed, there will probably be a lot of waves!"

The office area of ​​Minghou Mansion has been completed. The northeast area is Jingping Courtyard, which is the backyard of Mujing. In the northwest area, there are no less than two hundred courtyards. Once completed, this will completely stimulate the Minghou Mansion. Influence.

After returning to Zhaoming Hall, what greeted Mu Jing was endless, piled up like a mountain of memorials.

Every time I travel abroad, I have to be busy when I return.

After all, he is now the lord of Hanzhong, the Marquis of Ming, a feudal vassal, the entire Mansion of the Marquis of Ming is like a functioning small court, and he is the king, and many things cannot be effective without his seal supervision and review.

"My lord, this is the detailed matter of dispatching troops!" The next day, Mu Jing was still buried in the sea of ​​books, when Xi Zhi came, and he handed over a plan written with painstaking efforts, and handed it to Mu Jing.

"Is it moving now?"

Mu Jing spread out the notebook and asked following the sound.

"Jingping's first army, the second battalion has already started to move!"

"Second Battalion?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "In the past five battalions of the Jingping Army, the first battalion was wiped out, the third battalion was gone, the second battalion, the fourth battalion, and the fifth battalion were left. The fifth battalion was the main force. Not much to say, as for the second battalion, you can take charge of it now!"

"Du Feng can!"

Xi Zhicai said: "He is calm enough to lead the way, so that the First Army can go out of Hanzhong more smoothly!"

"Which way did they go?"

Mu Jing thought for a while and asked.

"The main force of the First Army will go up the Han River, avoid Wudu, and take the Guanghan route!" Xi Zhicai drew a route, and going out from Hanzhong is nothing more than Wudu and Guanghan, either Liangzhou or Yizhou , one of which cannot be avoided.

"Guanghan?" Mu Jing's eyes flashed coldly: "Will you disturb Yizhou?"

"I think so!"

Xi Zhicai replied: "There is no way to avoid it. The mobilization of tens of thousands of troops cannot completely avoid their sight, but I will try to divert their attention as much as possible, so that they may think that we are plotting against Guanghan. As long as they If we don't know our goal, we have a great chance in this battle!"

"Then how do you think Liu Yan will respond once he finds out that we are sending troops?" Mu Jing thought for a while and asked.

"This Shijun Liu is ambitious!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said suddenly: "If we don't move, he will naturally be more stable, but if we understand, we are giving him a chance. If we give him a chance, will he choose to take back Hanzhong?" ?”

"So, are you going to give him this chance to regain Hanzhong?" Mu Jing licked his lips, he and Xi Zhicai had a tacit understanding of what Xi Zhicai was thinking, and since When Xi Zhicai said this, he said that he already had a plan in mind.

"I originally thought that we have just stabilized the situation now. We should fight steadily, open the situation in the west first, and then combine forces to seek Yizhou, but now I feel that we have to do it at the same time!"

Xi Zhicai said in a low voice: "At the beginning when we gave the jade seal to Liu Yan, we hoped that he would become emperor, but now, I feel that he can calm down, and if we don't give him some stimulation, he might not As we think, if he can hold on, Yizhou's strength will increase every day!"

"Liu Yan, I underestimated him too!"

Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, and pondered for a while: "He was able to stabilize Yizhou County and the entire southern part of Yizhou within a short distance, which was beyond my expectations. Time, his strength is immeasurable, when we want to enter Yizhou again, it will be difficult!"

"So some things should be done sooner rather than later!"

"With our current forces, it is difficult to resist Yizhou's full attack. If we want to eat Yizhou, it will undoubtedly be a snake swallowing an elephant, and we will be exhausted!" Mu Jing hesitated. If it was before, when they had nothing If there is today's meal, there may not be tomorrow's meal. He dared to fight, as if he had just arrived in Nanyang not long ago, and engaged in a risky two-front battle, even if he risked the entire army being wiped out, he wanted to eat Hanzhong. It's motivation, but now that he has settled down in Hanzhong, he is a little more worried.

"We can have allies!"

Xi Zhicai said: "If one family can't afford it, two families might not!"

"Allies?" Mu Jing heard the words, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood Xi Zhicai's plan: "Do you want to pull Jingzhou into the arena!"

"Under normal circumstances, Liu Biao won't act anymore. What would Liu Biao think if he knew that Liu Yan had a royal seal in his hand?"

Xi Zhicai asked back.

"As ministers of the same clan, anyone can be called emperor. It's all under the Han Dynasty, the Liu family is in harmony, how are you and me?" Mu Jing said tentatively.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Xi Zhicai sneered back and rolled his eyes.

If there is such a beautiful thing, how could the Han Dynasty fall into such a field.

"I also don't think it's possible!" Mu Jing smiled: "I don't believe Liu Biao said that he has no ambitions. He might not care too much about other people proclaiming the emperor with a jade seal, because he is a member of the Han clan. , will never bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal, but if he rises up for the clan of the Han Dynasty and proclaims himself emperor, he will probably panic!"

"If the Jingzhou army can be brought in, maybe this battle will be easy!"

Xi Zhicai said: "They are going in from the east, we are going south from the north, trying to provoke the people in the south of Jingzhou, Liu Yan will be defeated!"

"How can the Jingzhou army suffer so easily? Zhang Liao has worked so hard in Nanyang for so long to let the Jingzhou army suffer in the battle of Xinye. But the Jingzhou army is not stupid. They turned their troops all of a sudden and left Xinye. East, attacking the city in the east of Nanyang, if Zhang Liao hadn't reacted quickly, the Second Army would have suffered a lot!"

Mu Jing sneered: "They may not do what we want, if we let them use us instead, we will suffer!"

Since last year, on the Nanyang battlefield, the Mu army, the Jingzhou army, and the Nanyang Yuan army have confronted each other. The Mu army and the Jingzhou army are in an alliance posture.

But in the battle of Xinye, Yuan Jun was stunned by relying on his strong military strength, causing the Jingzhou Army to suffer a big loss.

Since then, the war has naturally stalemate.

"It's up to people!"

Xi Zhicai said confidently: "It's true that people in Jingzhou are very vigilant, but they don't have outstanding talents in terms of military strategy. Although he understands military strategy, his level is not high, and there are a few good generals, but they are only the main generals on the local battlefield, and there are no handsome talents who can really command the overall situation, this is our opportunity!"

On the battlefield, there is something called a strategic trap.

In addition to pitting the enemy, this kind of trap can sometimes trap teammates. Strategic deployment, every step is dangerous, and no one knows the enemy that is about to face. If you can use strategic deployment to keep the Jingzhou army in front, this is strategy. trap.

"Let's let go of this matter first. You can deploy slowly, but don't be impatient. All arrangements must be concealed. Any mistakes will arouse the vigilance of Yizhou. Between us and Yizhou, we are always subordinates!"

Mu Jing waved his hand. It is meaningless to discuss this matter for the time being. After all, they are just guessing, and they don’t have enough strength now. At least they have to wait until they win the Shenlang Qiang, which is really Baima Qiang. The courage to plot Yizhou.

"I understand!" Xi Zhicai nodded.

"When are you leaving?" Mu Jing asked.

In this battle, he may not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, but Xi Zhicai must go to the battlefield in person, and he is not at ease without Xi Zhicai.

"Just these two days, I have to explain the affairs of Beiwutang to Huang Zhong!"

"Huang Zhong can rule Beiwutang now?" Mu Jing was a little curious.

It is a fact that Huang Zhong is brave and uncommon, and he is also a good general on the battlefield, but it is hard for Mu Jing to say whether he will be able to take charge of the military affairs of the Beiwutang.

"I can't do it alone, but with Huang Shao's help, it's okay!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Right now at the Yangpingguan defense line, we need to relax as much as possible, send outside and inside tight, and relieve the sight from Wudu, so I have ordered Huang Shao to return, with the two of them sitting in Beiwutang, we will Also rest assured!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jing was also relieved: "Huang Zhong is courageous and decisive, Huang Shao is resourceful and resourceful, and he responds quickly. Together, the two of them will be able to withstand this situation!"

……

In the third year of Chuping, the last ten days of the first month.

Jingping's first army went out for the first time after the reorganization. The soldiers headed out of Nanzheng, went up the Han River, and headed straight to the west.

At this time, the civil strife in Shenlangqiang began to evolve violently.

On Rock Mountain.

Min Wu and Gerdo stood side by side, looking far to the north, both of them looked dignified.

Min Wu was the first to speak: "These days, my uncle and I have only taken down four tribes. Even if we gather together, there will be less than 2000 soldiers, too few!"

"It's a little less, but it's still influential!"

Gerdo said in a low voice: "Now Shenlang Valley has begun to fight, your strength is nothing here, but if you pull in, the Quartet will win the target, and you still have a chance, Kunnan is You are the confidant of Lang Xiao in the past, with extraordinary influence, and after entering Shenlang Valley, you can persuade more tribes, at this time, your influence will come out!"

"Hehehe!"

Min Wu sneered: "At this time, they may think of my younger brother!"

"This is your chance!"

Gerdo said: "You must enter the game first. Only by entering the game can you not be thought that you have the thought of the oriole behind, so that you can hide the strength of Jingping's first army and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"Let me surrender to them?"

There was a deep cold light in Min Wu's eyes.

"My lord will not force anyone to do anything, and you choose not to do it either. You can fight hard, and you don't have to suffer. With the strength of Jingping's first army, and our Jingwu Division has already passed through channels, it has been shipped here." With a batch of weapons that can arm three thousand warriors, it will not be a problem to take down Shenlang Qiang!"

Gerdo asked back: "But don't forget, there is a white horse looking down at the northwest of Shenlangqiang!"

"White Horse Qiang?"

Min Wu's complexion became much uglier.

Although he is unwilling to recognize his father and his brothers, he will not forget his bloodline of Shenlangqiang. He is not willing to let Shenlangqiang become a subsidiary of Baimaqiang due to civil strife.

"Then who do you want me to surrender to?"

"This is a letter from the play Sima, only for you to read!" Gerdo handed out a confidential letter.

Min Wu opened the secret letter and looked at it. There were not many words on it, and they were all Chinese characters he knew. He read it very seriously, and his face changed accordingly, sometimes gloomy and sometimes stretched.

After a while, he took out the fire folder, lit the secret letter, and burned it directly in front of Gerdo.

Only then did he open his mouth and let out an exclamation: "The opera Sima is so calculating!"
