Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 689 The end of another year
After several days of preparations, Yi Ji took the envoys with a group of more than a dozen people and set off quickly.

Jiaozhou is remote, in order to ensure the safety of Iraqis, and to reduce the burden of traveling, so this time the candidates should not only be brief, but also elite. For this reason, Mujing also selected a few elites from the Shenwei Battalion Soldiers, as guards.

Mujing holds great hopes for Yiji.

The work of being a lobbyist is not something that just anyone can do.

Yiji has all the qualifications of an excellent diplomat. He is not lacking in courage. He has the courage to fight with swords and axes without changing his face. In addition, he can speak and argue, which is also very important. In addition, he has certain judgment And looking at the bigger picture, this is what a diplomat needs.

If he can't convince Zhang Jin and Shi Xie.

For Jiaozhou, there is nothing to look forward to.

It is a surprise to be able to borrow the power of Jiaozhou, and it is a matter of course that it cannot be borrowed.

But there was one thing that made Mu Jing wary.

When he borrowed the knife, he had to prevent Liu Biao from borrowing the knife too.

If Liu Biao borrowed a knife, whose knife could he borrow?

As far as Liu Biao is concerned, there are only two people who can borrow troops, either Yuan Shu or Jiangdong.

Now Jiangdong is in a mess.

After Yuan Shu released Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, the tiger really made a lot of noise in the east of the river. Wu Jun came to fight.

There shouldn't be any troops left.

Then there is Yuan Shu.

Will Liu Biao invite Yuan Shu to go south?
Probably not.

But I have to guard against it.

The key is Nanyang.

Mu Jing has been fast for a long time, how to stabilize Nanyang is the key. He is not afraid of the soldiers and horses stationed in Nanyang. Lei Bo was frightened by him and dared not send troops easily, but Yuan Shu is different.

All of his troops in Nanyang have been placed in Jingzhou. If Yuan Shu is going to take back Nanyang and send troops from Yuzhou, it will be a big problem.

"Long distance and close attack!"

Mu Jing wrote four large characters on the desk.

He also needs to befriend someone.

In order to ensure that the battle of Jingzhou will not be affected by any external force.

But it was precisely this person that he least wanted to associate with.

"Cao Mengde!"

Mujing's eyes burst out with a cold killing intent.

Cao Cao assassinated his father in court, and the relationship between them must be life and death, but now that Cao Cao is sitting in Yanzhou, his military strength should not be underestimated. If there is one person who can contain Yuan Shu, then only this person.

"This man gives me a headache!"

Mu Jing put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his head, and said helplessly.

……

With the impact of the snow disaster, the atmosphere in Hanzhong is also declining. Because of the heavy snow, the river is closed and many projects are suspended, which caused Hanzhong to be the most depressed moment of the year.

Under this atmosphere, gradually, the end of the year is approaching.

"It's the end of the year again!"

The general feeling of pastoral scenery.

A year passed by in leaps and bounds.

He is another year older.

Of course, he is not qualified to say this. He is young, holds a powerful army, and has millions of people. In today's world, he is definitely the youngest prince. If his old Taishan hears this, at least it will make people He lost tens of thousands more in the paddock.

The end of the year is approaching, making the Minghou mansion even busier, with only the sound of hurried footsteps coming in and out.

Especially Hu Zhao, Xi Zhicai is not in the situation of Hanzhong.

Xi Zhicai is on the front line, so it is unrealistic to rush back.

Hu Zhao inspected Nanyang to stabilize people's hearts, and secretly prepared to make some deals with Lei Bo. He was also very busy, so he might not be able to come back at this time.

Therefore, the big and small matters of the Minghou Mansion basically fell on Mu Jing and Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is the busiest.

Dong Cao wants to review the achievements of officials for a year.

Xi Cao wants to count the income and expenditure of Minghou Mansion for a year.

These big and small things are enough for him, the master of the Minghou Mansion, to be so busy that he can't keep his heels on the ground.

As for Mu Jing, he was mainly in charge of the Bei Wu Hall.

Because of the war, Beiwutang has no one who can call the shots this year, so he can only be the commander in person. Chen Dao is still a little behind. Maybe he has enough experience on the battlefield, but in military affairs, He is not as good as Huang Zhong, Huang Shao and others.

Beiwutang is at the end of the year, and there are many things to do, such as statistics of military achievements, battlefield reviews, the training situation of soldiers for a year, statistics of this year's campaign, next year's battle plan, too many things need to be done by Mu Jing himself .

After dealing with a lot of military affairs of Beiwutang, Mu Jing summoned Zhang Huo and Jingping Wubeitang's sacrificial wine.

"I need officers!"

Mujing cut to the chase.

"no!"

Zhang Huo also answered straight to the point.

"Zhang Dajiu, you can't let me have no return on my investment in Wubeitang. This Hongdu school will squeeze out a few outstanding people to become officials every year. Your Wubeitang has no entry but no exit. Are you embarrassed?" Mujing complained.

"I am responsible for them!"

Zhang Huo said righteously: "This group of students has invested the most in Wubeitang for many years. I can't let them enter the battlefield easily. Without enough military knowledge, I will never let them step out of Wubeitang! "

"All right!"

Mu Jing couldn't persuade the stubborn tiger, and said: "You and I each take a step back, I don't want your ready-made students, but I want to organize a group of generals in the army to study for three months, and you have to put all your energy into it. During these three months, how about instilling the most military knowledge in them, they have battlefield experience, and now they only need to study it systematically?"

"So that's the purpose?" Zhang Huo looked at him with contempt: "It really is a little fox!"

Mu Jing grinds his teeth a bit, what is a little fox, and whether he knows how to speak.

If he hadn't sorted out the military records and looked at some meritorious officers and felt that their military knowledge was weak, he wouldn't have thought of it on the spur of the moment.

……

In the end, although Zhang Huo was persuaded, Mujing lost another sum of military expenses, and he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself, whether the strategy was not very good, and it was clearly a mission, so why did he still suffer a loss in the end?

"I must be too kind!"

He comforted himself so much.

In any case, amidst the busy work, the end of the year is coming as scheduled.

The Minghou Mansion also began to rest.

Mujing is the latest, starting from the night of New Year's Eve.

Xiumu at the end of the year and the beginning of the year is the most warm time of the year for him. During this period of time, he completely belongs to Jingping Courtyard, a family, not a Minghou Mansion.

He can play happily.

But there is one thing that is not so good, this old Taishan seldom appears, but at the end of the year when he rests, he will appear on time. Last year's victory is especially vivid in his memory, so he can't wait to start the paddock to fight again.

Mu Jing was unwilling.

He even regretted it, why there is such a thing as mahjong, this thing should not appear in this era, but it did appear, because his hand itched for a while, it appeared in Hanzhong, and it is still a game that many people in Hanzhong are keen on. play.

New Year's Eve evening.

The concept of New Year's Eve has not yet appeared.

But the concept of having a reunion dinner has become popular, and it was spread from Jingping Courtyard. On this day, no matter whether it is the master or the servants of Jingping Courtyard, they will sit at the table, abandon all the rules, and have a meal reunion dinner.

This year's reunion dinner is very festive.

"Father, let me offer you a toast, I wish you good health and good luck next year..."

After he finished a bunch of congratulatory speeches, Cai Yong's tense face relaxed a bit. Although this son-in-law doesn't usually like him, he is still a little filial at this time, and his daughter is married if she doesn't want to marry, so reluctantly Be strong.

But handsome for less than three seconds, Mu Jing began to act desperately: "Father, you are still young, why don't you get a concubine next year and give birth to a baby, and you must extend the blood of the Cai family, as the saying goes..."

"boom!"

Cai Yong directly picked up the wine cup in his hand and threw it over. He was so angry that he provoked it directly. There was a real chat between the old man and the youth madness: "Damn you, take the knife for me. I won't cut it today!" If he dies, this old man will not be Cai Yong anymore!"

"Father, speak well, don't move, a gentleman speaks but does not move..."

Mu Jing hugged his head and escaped here.

Cai Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, the only person in the world who could make her father angry like this was her husband, there was no other one.

"Kill him, kill him!"

Zhang Ning clapped his hands beside him.

The servants at the table looked at this scene, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but dare not laugh out loud. One is the head of the family, and the other is the old Taishan who is the head of the family. They are both the protagonists. It's not the coolness of a mansion with high walls.

A year has passed, and the end of the year ends on the New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve represents the celebration of this year. Although the weather in Hanzhong this year is not smooth, it is still passable. The sound of celebration is transmitted from the Jingping courtyard, and the whole house The area is full of laughter...
