Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 789 God does not take it, but takes the blame!
"Lord, what do you mean by this?" Ruan Bao was a little confused after hearing this, "Are we going to fight with Chen Zhi now?"

As a general under Wang Jun, he knew some of the overall plans of the Youzhou Army. After all, this war was not a fight between two people. They could make a decision with a slap on the head and then wave their fists.

In war, human lives are fought on the front line, and logistics are fought on the back line. No matter which one it is, mobilization and preparation must be carried out in advance. Sometimes, to attack a place, it is necessary to get the required materials in advance. Transport it there and build several logistics and supply centers.

Daijun is the focus of the Youzhou Army's planning and a key link in the entire military plan. The relevant strategic layout and offensive plans have long been in progress.

In fact, this is not special. In Youzhou, the north and east are filled with foreign races, the south is the chaotic Jizhou, filled with refugees, Jiangdu Royal Army, Zu Ti Army and Shi Le's troops, while the west is the uncontrolled Daizhou. County, and further to the west are the Huns who are generally hostile. It is possible to use troops in any direction, so this attack plan is actually being made. These staff and generals have to pick one of these directions. Practice as an imaginary enemy.

However, even in the four-sided attack plan, the Dai County where Chen Zhi is located is still the one at the front. The reason is also very clear to Ruan Bao. On the one hand, this place is located on the border of Youzhou, and there is a fundamental contradiction between the two sides. On the other hand, the growth of Daijun is too fast, there is a major change in almost a few days, and various news keep coming, not to mention Wang Jun, even Ruan Bao is shocked when he hears it endlessly.

In fact, when leading the army to attack Daijun before, Ruan Bao sighed at the strength of the opponent, and then suffered a crushing defeat. After returning, he took the initiative to plead guilty. Confidant, Wang Jun also values ​​his experience and past achievements, but the previous disastrous defeat was enough to make him suffer, or even directly lose his official position.

In fact, when he returned from defeat and was in a state of embarrassment, many people had already put forward this suggestion, including many from Wang Jun's family.

After all, Ruan Bao controls the army. It is conceivable how much power and power there is. Everyone has been staring at it for a long time. Finally, there is a reason. The rising star of the Wang family, Wang Qi, was trapped in Dai County without knowing whether he was alive or dead. On the contrary, he, Ruan Bao, came back with a broken army. Naturally, there were many people who were dissatisfied with him.

On the other hand, the failure of the attack on Daijun also caused Youzhou to lose a lot of troops. They either died in battle or became prisoners, and many of the rest were deserters.

Both emotionally and logically, Ruan Bao should be responsible for this loss. Even Duan Xianbei complained and sent someone to convey some meaning. After all, they lost a Duan Wenyang, but they still had no way to take revenge. They were also holding back their anger. Want to vent.

But in this situation of being besieged on all sides, Wang Jun took the matter lightly and gave Ruan Bao a chance to make a meritorious deed. He led his troops east to Pingzhou and calmed down a commotion there. It can be regarded as temporarily suppressing the voices of all parties.

This incident also made Ruan Bao extremely grateful and wanted to swear allegiance to him. At the same time, he also knew very well that there must be a battle between Youzhou and Daijun. He hoped that in this second attack, he could wash away the shame of defeat.

However, he really didn't expect that Wang Jun would choose this time. "The situation in Pingzhou has just been stabilized. At the same time, our grain and grass have not been transported yet, and the two counties in the west are not fully prepared. Furthermore, it will take several months for the wheat harvest to be harvested. Previously, The plan we made is to wait for the wheat to mature, and then loot it to fill the treasury when we attack Daijun..."

Hearing Ruan Bao's questions, Wang Jun waved his hands indifferently and said: "It is naturally the most ideal situation to be fully prepared before fighting, but when I am fully prepared, Chen Zhi is probably almost ready as well. Look at his current situation, a bumper harvest of food is certain. Coupled with the comings and goings of merchants, the production and transportation of several industries, I am afraid that there will be a bumper harvest of money, and the troops and horses are also being reorganized. I heard that they are starting to repair their officialdom! "

At this point, Wang Jun's face showed a sincere look of worry, and he said in a deep voice: "Besides, Chen Zhi is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to open up the current situation. I am afraid he has already expected that I will rush to harvest the wheat before and after." The use of troops must be targeted, and troops and horses may be mobilized for defense in the next few days. If this is the case, then we should take it by surprise and attack at this time! This will also prevent unintended consequences."

"Could it be that," Ruan Bao thought, thinking about the information he had just received, "my lord is worried that the Huns will make some moves?"

"The Xiongnu and Xianbei are all like wolves," Wang Jun pondered for a moment, and finally said decisively: "But what really makes me make a decision is the timing!"

He stood up and walked to the window.

"Before, my prestige was somewhat damaged because of the incident in Thorn City, so some small fish and shrimps thought they saw an opportunity. There were undercurrents in Pingzhou and Youzhou, and I had to rush to calm them down, but now these people have been suppressed. , there will be no more changes in a short time. Murong in the north is still expanding and involved with several tribes. In the south, Shi Le and King Jiangdu are confronting each other, but Zu Ti will not take the initiative to invade. The Xiongnu Kingdom is trapped in internal fighting. Liu Cong and Liu Yi Keeping each other in check, Liu Yao, a very threatening person, led his army north again. He heard that he was going to suppress a group of Xianbei rebel slaves called Rouran. The overall opportunity could be said to be fleeting! God will not take it. , take the blame! So, what do you think of the chances of winning? After all, you personally fought against Daijun’s soldiers and horses."

Feeling the will in those words, Ruan Bao could only obey, and then said: "With the strength of our troops in Youzhou, if they are concentrated, I believe that even if Chen Zhi fills the city with single-shot cannons, he will be unable to resist. What's more, he has sold a few of them over the past six months, and other forces have also collected information on this thing and know its weaknesses."

"That's good!" Wang Jun nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Chen Zhi will have an heir. This is also a good time. I happened to send him a congratulatory gift. I hope he will be satisfied!"

Yes, in Wang Jun's mind, this was actually an opportunity, because Chen Zhi was inevitably distracted in order to take care of his family, so the right time, place, and people made him involved.

"Although our preparations are not complete, Chen Zhi will not be prepared either. Compared with his power in one county, if I concentrate the manpower and material resources of two states, will I still be defeated? Send the order and quickly deploy troops. Ma, just in time for Zaosong to confuse Chen Zhi in Dai County!"
