Chapter 832: Organizing the Army

Now that the overall situation in Yizhou has been decided, no matter how bad the situation in Jingzhou is, I am afraid it will not be so bad.

Mu Jing thought about it, if Liu Biao really dared to start a war with him at this time, then he would choose to take a step back, the big deal is not Xiangyang, although Xiangyang is a city of great significance, but also the main city of Jingzhou with strong academics, there are many scholars and talents, but it is not to the point where it has to be.

Now, he wants to make a stalemate with Liu Biao.

For the current Minghou Mansion, nothing is more important than stabilizing the entire Yizhou first.

Mujing's attention must all be focused on Yizhou.

He has no foundation in Yizhou, and at this time he needs foreign aid, and there has been a stalemate with the Chang'an court in the north, and now if there is a stalemate with Jingzhou in the east, it will be isolated.

Although Yizhou is dangerous, it is not impossible to attack, and if the Chang'an court and Jingzhou are united, he will be exhausted.

"Where's Shinno?" Xi Zhicai understood what Mu Jing meant, thought about it, and asked a question.

"Shinno?"

When Mu Jing heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind was a little wandering, and he was pondering, and after about half a sound, he asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, do you think Lei Bo can control Xinye?" ”

At present, Xinye is the frontier against the Guanzhong Army, and Lei Bo is considered a general under his command.

"At present, he should have no problem, Lei Bo's ability is extraordinary, and he has a Chen Lan by his side to give advice, plus Xinye City is not a small city, and the defense can be defended!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The Guanzhong army is now pushing forward in the direction of Runan with all its might, and there are not many troops left in Nanyang, even if the fight starts, Lei Bo can still defend the territory, of course, but if you want to open up, then the strength is insufficient, as long as Lei Bo has no other thoughts, plus we support behind the back, he will definitely be able to hold Xinye!" ”

"What if Xiangyang suddenly falls?" Mu Jing asked again: "Can he still hold Xinye, maybe so, will he still defend Xinye for us?" ”

"That's enough choking!"

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "Lei Bo can't talk about much loyalty to our Minghou Mansion, when we cooperated with him, we turned our heads and put him together, so that he could not gain a foothold in the Yuan army, he was forced to be helpless, there was no way out, so he took refuge in us, but he may not have no grievances against us in his heart, in addition, now the troops under his command are still under his command, and our control over him is also very small, he can break away from us at any time, if he encounters danger, he will definitely not defend for us!" ”

"So we're prepared for the worst!"

Mu Jing also expected this situation, and said in a deep voice: "I can not want Xiangyang, I can also lose Xinye, but people, must all be withdrawn, Hou Qing is a talent that can be used, Lei Bo is also a usable general, I lost the land, I can't lose people!" ”

"Got it!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I will give Zhou Cang an order, if necessary, give up all the territories of Jingzhou and Nanyang, and withdraw to Bajun and Hanzhong, but once it reaches the worst situation, people must be snatched back!" ”

"Yes!"

Mu Jing said: "You have to use some strategy, even if you send troops, you can't use the identity of a herdsman to enter Jingzhou as much as possible, remember, we can't turn our faces with Liu Biao now, and we have to strengthen the relationship between our allies, Jingzhou may just be a paper tiger, but in the east of Jingzhou, there is a real tiger!" ”

"Jiangdong, Sun Jian!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his eyes were bright and bright: "The lord has never been worried about Liu Biao, but Sun Wentai, using Liu Biao to block Sun Wentai can give us enough time for development, as long as we sort out Yizhou, the world is not afraid!" ”

"The land of Bashu, the country of abundance, this is a good place!" Mu Jing smiled lightly: "I need time to operate!" ”

"The Admiral understands!"

Xi Zhicai nodded.

"Zhicai, it's time for us to reorganize the army!"

Mu Jing stood up, stared at the light rain outside the door, and said in a low voice: "Dongzhou Army, Bajun Army, Yizhou Army, Jiange Army under Pang Xi, soldiers and horses under Gao Ding, Yizhou has too many chaotic troops, good and bad, and combat effectiveness is insufficient, we have to rectify it and disarm it!" ”

"Another major disarmament?" Xi Zhicai frowned: "The timing is not right now, the military spirit is unstable, and Yizhou naturally can't safely survive this period of power alternation!" ”

"I just want to take advantage of the chaos in Yizhou and cut through the chaos quickly!"

Mu Jing said: "The armies of Yizhou must be reduced, not cut, when Liu Yan was alive, in order to attack Jingzhou, some of the soldiers were reckless, and the small Yizhou raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the land was sparsely populated, and it couldn't be developed, so it couldn't do anything!" ”

Yizhou is so big and there are so many problems, I didn't expect it, this is much more troublesome than when he governed Hanzhong, and all aspects must be considered.

Disarmament and repatriation is the first issue to be resolved.

Yizhou is the country of abundance, with many mountains and few plains, but the land is also fertile, but the labor force is less, and the economy will definitely not be able to keep up.

"What about the South?" Xi Zhicai asked in a low voice: "Once we move too much, it will inevitably cause a reaction from the south, and when the time comes, we will have internal and external troubles, and we will not have enough troops to defend, I am afraid that it will cause civil strife!" ”

When Liu Yan was alive, he once conquered the southern part of Yizhou, although he was successful on the surface, but he did not control the troops in the south, and the only gain should be Gaoding, so Gaoding is Liu Yan's killer weapon.

In fact, when Liu Yan ascended the throne, he unknowingly let Gao Ding lead the army into Chengdu, and he really almost broke Mu Jing's plan, this killer feature was not bad, but in the end, Mu Jing's skills were superior.

There are several counties in the south, the county seat and the population are not large, but the people are fierce, and there are barbarians as trouble, and the ruling power of the Yizhou Prefecture Pastoral Government is very weak, even so weak that it cannot be sent to the point where the order cannot be delivered.

"Let's figure out the two counties of Bashu first!" Mu Jing squinted: "As for Yonghong and Meng Huo, after we breathe a sigh of relief, we will slowly clean up, so what they rely on is nothing more than the terrain, I joined the two battalions of the wolf and the tiger, both of which are mountain battalions, and it is not easy to clean them up, have they been rampant recently?"

"Hmm!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Jing Wusi has set up a town in Yizhou County, and there is a lot of news sent back by Yizhou Town, Meng Huo and Yonghong are contacting the cave master of the 36th cave of the barbarians, Yonghong supports Meng Huo, Meng Huo is ready to seize the position of the barbarian king, if he unifies the barbarians, the south will be dangerous!" ”

"Let him go!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of scattered deals, if we can get together, we can do it once and for all!" ”

Mu Jing put aside this question and didn't discuss it: "Let's reorganize the army first, starting with the Dongzhou Army!" ”

"With Zhang Ren?"

"Of course!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "Rectify the Dongzhou Army, without him, no one can succeed!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will turn against you?"

"I'm afraid!" Mu Jing said: "But even if you are afraid, you have to use him, as long as he doesn't fight back for a day, I use him every day, on the one hand, his ability, if it is shelved, it will be a pity!"

"Second, he will be a banner, carrying the banner of Liu Yan's old department, the water is clear, there is no fish, Yizhou is not a place of harmony, local factions, family forces, there are as many as cattle hairs, they are united, we have no play, now only by dividing them, can we have more opportunities, Zhang Ren is on the throne, in order to let the descendants take refuge in him, the power of the wealthy family will be greatly reduced, so that we can see the needle!"

"As for the third point, we have to allow Liu Yan's old department to have room to survive, Liu Yan's old department is now a brilliant time, if you want to appease people's hearts, first of all, let them feel that even if Yizhou changes, they can also survive, we were desperate at the beginning, because we have no room to survive, dogs can jump over the wall when they are anxious, people are anxious, that is the six relatives do not recognize, life and death do not matter!"

Mu Jing said so much, just to promote Zhang Ren.

"It must be him?" Xi Zhicai is still a little worried, mainly because a person's ability is too strong, and loyalty is not here, so he has to guard against it.

"It has to be him!" Ranch head.

"I'm afraid that after he takes charge of the military, he will support Liu Zhang, you forcibly elected Liu Zhang to the throne and let Liu Zhang inherit the position of state pastor, which is already a chance for them, if Zhang Ren is desperate to support Liu Zhang behind his back, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be an internal war in Yizhou!"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

"Zhang Ren is a very smart person, I bet he won't do this!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Liu Yan can trust him alone, because he trusts him, so I will not doubt his loyalty to the Liu family, but the more loyal he is, the more he will stay away from Liu Zhang, because he knows in his heart that as long as he is farther away, the more he can protect Liu Zhang!" ”

"I'm afraid he won't be able to figure this out!"

"If that's the case, then I can't help it, I gave the opportunity, they can't grasp it, then don't blame me for cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Yizhou, I will never allow anyone to make trouble, this is our foundation!"

Mu Jing's eyes flashed a cold light, his expression was as cold as ice, and he was full of killing intent, and said a little ruthlessly.
