Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 919 Discussion on Military Parade 1
After a good night's sleep, Gongsun Xu felt much more comfortable. He was too busy these days. During the day, he was busy receiving the leaders of various aristocratic families and generals from all over the world, and he had to deal with official documents. At night, he was busy entertaining local celebrities and winning the favor of local scholars. Take refuge, after a few days like this, even an iron-clad body will get tired. Today, after finally being lazy, Gongsun Xu enjoyed the joy of fish and water with his two wives.

After entering the big tent, Gongsun Xu saw several military divisions arguing about whether to send troops to Jiangdong. Jia Xu still had the attitude that it had nothing to do with him, Guo Jia was more inclined to continue to rest, and Pang Tong thought it was It's a perfect opportunity, and it should be this opportunity to go south in one fell swoop. Xu Shu interjected a few words from time to time. He was a little inclined to send troops, but his attitude was not firm enough. Li Ru was busy with his official documents and seemed to not want to participate in this topic.

"My lord, our army has been attacking the northern part of Jingzhou for some time, and now Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in the southern part of Jingzhou are preparing for battle." Seeing Gongsun Xu coming in, Pang Tong said quickly: "This way, our army is as powerful as a broken bamboo, invincible, no one in the world I don't know how mighty our northern border army is.

Now that they have reached the edge of the Yangtze River, as long as we move forward one step further, Jiangdong is at our fingertips. Why is the lord unwilling to do it for so long? The opportunity to dominate the world is right in front of us.From Jizhou and Bingzhou to the south, our army has conquered countless cities and seized countless lands, and seized countless food, grass and equipment.

During the period of fighting in the south, our northern border did not suffer much damage. There is still ample food and grass in various places. The food and grass in the army do not need to be transported from northern Xinjiang. After capturing Jingzhou, our army now has enough food and grass to feed Yuzhou and Yanzhou Since the military and civilians everywhere have not been destroyed by the war and the economy is still on the rise, why don't our troops take this opportunity to continue going south?
Using Jingzhou's food to support the people of Yu and Yan, and using Jing, Yu, Yan, and Xu's troops to attack Jiangdong, this will not hurt our northern border, let alone shake the foundation of our northern border.Don't miss this opportunity, my lord, the Jiangdong Sun family has not yet had time to deploy their defenses, we will definitely be able to defeat all opponents by going south now. "

Although what Pang Tong said is a bit exaggerated, the truth is true. The Northern Xinjiang Army is in a good situation now, and it is indeed the best time to go south. However, after hearing this, Gongsun Xu shook his head and did not answer. He stepped forward and looked at the map and said: " Now is not the time, even if you want to cross the river to fight, at least you have to wait for the support of the Jingchu army and the people.

During this period of time, our army has been busy cleaning up the remnants of the enemy everywhere. There are still many hidden dangers in Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, not to mention that Jingzhou is not in our hands now. It is necessary to capture Jiangdong, but now is indeed not the best time , and, if Jiangdong can be recruited, it must be the best. "

"Sun Ce is brave and tough, will he submit to the lord?" Pang Tong frowned and asked, "However, as the lord said, it would be best if he could be recruited."

"Feng Xiao, have you selected the right person to envoy to Jiangdong?" Gongsun Xu nodded and asked, "There are so many scholars in Jingchu, and there is no shortage of intelligent and eloquent people among them. I saw scholars from Jingzhou coming to join me."

"I have discussed with Shi Yuan for a long time. There are indeed many scholars in Jingchu. After screening, Shi Yuan recommended Jiang Gan to go to Jiangdong." Guo Jia replied: "Jiang Gan is handsome and famous for his talent. Meanwhile, his hometown is adjacent to Zhou Yu, governor of Jiangdong, and the two were classmates and friends when they were young, so it is most suitable for him to go to Jiangdong as an envoy."

"Jiang Gan,,,,,," Gongsun Xu frowned, as if thinking of something, after a while, Gongsun Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I've heard of him, it's really suitable for him to go , Let him come to see me later, I have something to tell him to do."

"My lord, it has been a few days since our army entered Xiangyang. Are we doing nothing now?" Pang Tong asked, "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I have never seen our army’s ability to conquer cities and territories. Even after the reorganization, many Jingzhou army officers and soldiers seem to be dissatisfied. The soldiers from the north and the captured generals from the south are now at odds with each other. occur.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be more and more conflicts in the army. As a general, the lord has the power to command the world's soldiers and horses. Do you think it's time to rectify this bad atmosphere in the army? At least let those who surrendered be reorganized Our soldiers have a sense of belonging, not just fear of our army's might. "

"Subordinates." Guo Jia also quickly said: "Shi Yuan is very good. Although the generals in the army are in high spirits, they may have nowhere to declare their power. Although there are punishments, it is definitely not enough to always suppress, we should find a way to solve this problem."

"Hehe, you reminded me." Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "If we want to completely subdue the spirit of the Jingzhou army, it is nothing more than a big stick and sweet dates. After going south to take down such a large territory, if we continue It may not be appropriate to call myself the Northern Frontier Army. Many soldiers in the south cannot find a sense of belonging.

Hmph, besides, I also want to take this opportunity to shock the enemy troops on the other side of the Yangtze River. It is definitely inappropriate to send troops. How about we have a military parade?When we were in Bingzhou and Youzhou in the past, we held martial arts competitions every year. It is definitely not appropriate now, but a military parade is definitely okay. "

"Military parade?" Guo Jia asked, "Could it be to review the lineup of the army and the morale of the soldiers?"

"It's almost the same, but the main thing is to let the enemy troops who want to fight against us see our strength." Gongsun Xu thought for a while and said: "Yes, that's it, I'm going to call the generals to discuss this matter now , you should be responsible for recruiting Jiangdong."

The majestic and dull sound of war drums sounded, and the generals who were training soldiers all over the barracks heard the sound of the drums, and after hearing the sound of the drums, they all handed over the matter at hand to their deputy, and all of them immediately walked towards Gongsun Xu's big tent.

"Everyone is here." Looking at the generals in the tent, Gongsun continued with a smile: "You have worked hard to straighten out the army during this period, but now I have a more difficult task for you to do. After going south to Jingzhou, We haven't had any large-scale actions so far, and there probably won't be any for the time being, so I want to have a military parade here in Xiangyang.

The soldiers of all ministries must actively complete this task. The soldiers of our army come from all over the country. Therefore, I plan to organize the military parade teams by regions. Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and grasslands all belong to the north; Xiliang belongs to the west; Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou It belongs to the Central Plains, and Jingzhou belongs to the South. In addition, our army has cavalry, infantry, heavy armored infantry, heavy armored cavalry and other arms, and they also need to participate separately. Please make me a charter for this matter immediately, and I will do it in the shortest time. Inner military parade,,,,,,"
