In Beiwutang, the place that Mu Jing refers to on the sand table is called Chaoyang County, which is one of the 36 county towns in Nanyang.

The location of Chaoyang County is in the west of Xinye County, adjacent to Yin County.

Xinye County is the south gate of Nanyang County, but also the north gate of Xiangyang, this city has a very important strategic location significance, if it is the battle between the north and the south, whether it is Nanyang or Jingzhou, will pay attention to Xinye.

In history, Liu Bei was able to break free from the cracks, and there was also one of the reasons for gaining a foothold in Xinye, relying on the geographical location of Xinye, which stirred up the war between Jingzhou and Cao Wei, so that he could take Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and thus rise and become one of the three kingdoms.

The importance of Xinye, whether it is the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion or the Nanyang Yuan Army, they can see it, so they will not give up, this must be a bloody battle, a place to start the battle for Nanyang.

And Chaoyang, which is just a small city, is not only inferior to the population and economy of Xinye County, but also not as important as Xinye's geographical location.

But there's something special about it.

Checks and balances.

The city was small, populated, barren and barren, and seemed to be of little use, but when the situation became its current size, when a tripartite pattern was formed in Nanyang, the location of Chaoyang County became very important.

Here, the front can balance Xinye, and the side can also balance the Nanyang waterway.

Capturing this city is equivalent to having a place where you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

"Lord, Liu Biao can shepherd Jingzhou, there will be strategists around him, he will definitely see that Xinye is a place where soldiers must fight, no matter who fights, there will be a bloody battle, I am afraid that they may not be fooled!"

After everyone was excited, they quickly calmed down, and Xi Zhi thought about it for a while, and quickly became worried: "Once they do the trick of procrastination, won't they drag us in, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape the battle at that time!" ”

"Whether people can be fooled or not, it's not that you don't understand it, but it mainly depends on whether this bait is tempting or not!" Mu Jing said calmly: "What you can see, I can also see it, there will be people in Jingzhou who can see it clearly, and there are also people around Yuan Shu who can see it clearly, but in this new wild land, they will inevitably fight, just like the Jingzhou army will send troops to Yin County without any scruples, Yuan Jun will desperately eat Jiujiang, as long as it is a bait that can be eaten, even if it is dangerous, they will not hesitate!" ”

"Come to think of it, it seems to be too!"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and thought about it for a while: "If I am in the position of the governor of Jingzhou, I know that Xinye is equivalent to opening the door of Nanyang, I will do it without hesitation!" ”

"This is indeed the case, it seems that the lord's understanding of the hearts of the people of Jingzhou is not comparable to ours!"

Huang Shao spoke in silence, quite admiring.

It's that people are greedy.

Greed together, the danger becomes not dangerous, even if you know the danger, you won't pay attention to it, Liu Wei now wants a complete Jingzhou, he will take Nanyang, this is a greed, it will become a weakness of Liu Biao, and in the future, it will inevitably be the handle that they can hold the people of Jingzhou.

"But you still have to do it!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Since we have formed an alliance with Jingzhou, we must have an image of an alliance, at least we can't let the people of Jingzhou underestimate us, so ......"

He paused, and his tone became sharp: "Let's move first!" ”

"Shall we move first?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he had a flash of inspiration, clapped his palms, and was overjoyed, and said: "The lord has a very good move, as long as we make the first move and attack Chaoyang, it can be said that we will open the way around them, and then Jingzhou will lose even if Xinye loses, and there are thousands of grievances, and we will not be able to complain about us, and we will fight our Chaoyang, and Xinye, the hard bones will naturally be handed over to them, and when they are both defeated, we will ......"

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head, pressed his hand, suppressed Xi Zhicai's words, and also suppressed Xi Zhicai's thoughts, and said: "Zhicai, the vision should be long-term, just a new field, it is impossible to determine the situation in Nanyang, at this time, no matter what method is used, suddenly send troops to eat the results of Jingzhou, it will turn against Jingzhou, we are not the time to turn our face with Jingzhou, since we have formed an alliance with the Jingzhou army, we must keep our promises, unless one day our soldiers and horses can reach Wancheng, the entire Nanyang, there is no third party of troops, otherwise...... Jingzhou will always be our ally, so in the battle of Xinye, we must help them and let them capture Xinye as much as possible! ”

Mu Jing is a person who can resist temptation.

At this time, every step of Nanyang's strategic layout must be carefully calculated, not only to resist the temptation, but also to endure greed, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted.

"Lord, if the Jingzhou army completely takes Xinye, won't it boost their strength?"

Huang Zhong was a little worried: "This is not good for us!" ”

"Hansheng, your worries are not unreasonable, but now, I need their strength to grow!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised a smile slightly: "Only an evenly matched enemy can fight a lose-lose situation, and even if the strength of the Jingzhou army is strong, as long as it is in Nanyang, I can clean them up, don't forget, Nanyang is our home field, so I am begging them to strengthen their strength in Nanyang!" ”

"Lord, everything is very well arranged, but I'm still worried, if Yuan Shu and they still focus their combat power on us, wouldn't it be a good show for Jingzhou to watch, and then it will become our own self-inflicted suffering!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Or ......"

This situation is not impossible, it is very possible, as the so-called everyone has calculations, in case Hanzhong's calculations are not as good as Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is mainly anti-guest, causing Yuan Shu to transfer the soldiers over and target the Minghou Mansion.

Then they are really lifting stones themselves, smashing their heels, and asking for their own suffering.

"Zhicai, you're thinking too much!"

Mu Jing suddenly spoke, interrupting Xi Zhicai's words.

"Thinking too much?" Xi Zhicai frowned.

"You are smart, you have a unique vision, so you want all the strategic deployment, tactical execution, are under your control, but there is no such good thing in the world, the battlefield information is ever-changing, pay attention to six points of strength, three points of strategy, and one point of them, is luck!"

Mu Jing's expression was calm, and his indifferent voice sounded in the lobby of Beiwutang: "On the battlefield, there is no undefeated person, we have also been defeated, but we will not dare to fight because of defeat, there is too much possibility on the battlefield, Zhicai, you may not be wrong, it is possible that because of Yuan Shu's anger towards me, all this may not be as we expected, resulting in the situation beyond our expectations, but even so, we still have to do it, for Nanyang, we are determined to win, and we have tried to do everything we can, Now it's up to Destiny! ”

"I believe that the destiny of heaven is in the lord!"

Huang Zhong stood up and said firmly.

"We also believe that the destiny of heaven lies in the lord!" After being shocked and hesitating, the generals' expressions became extremely firm.

At the beginning, no one could see that Mu Jing could break through to the south, even if they were unwavering followers, they were also uneasy, but in the end, Mu Jing took them to kill, and in a short time, let them have a place to settle down, this is the destiny of heaven.

"I believe it too!"

Mu Jing grinned brightly.

……

In the middle of December, there are only twelve days before the end of the year, Nanzheng City is covered with heavy snow, but this cold snowflake can not hide the festive color of the people, the new year is approaching, this festive atmosphere has begun to shroud.

Minghou Mansion, Jingping Courtyard.

In an accord in the backyard.

Bamboo mats are spread on the floor, and the four corners are braziers, and the heat spreads throughout the Accord.

Cai Yan was wearing a cyan palace skirt, the green silk on her head was hanging down, kneeling in front of the desk, there was a piano on the desk, she was stroking the piano, the sound of the piano was pleasant, and it was in the wind and snow outside.

This song, called "Yangchun White Snow", a famous song in the Spring and Autumn Period, today is rarely played.

Even if Cai Yan gets the true biography of Cai Yong, he only has five or six points of skill.

But Mu Jing listened attentively.

I only saw him kneeling in front of the bamboo mat, sitting majestically, wandering outward, his eyes not squinting, and his body did not dare to move for half a minute.

"Husband, how is this song?" Cai Yan pressed the strings and asked with a smile, the thief is like a fox spirit who has attained the Tao, with a smile and a cheek, all with boundless temptation.

"Very good, very good!"

Mu Jing replied with a smile.

"Really?"

Cai Yan's beautiful eyes crossed a cold glint, and he snorted coldly, and at this time, his eyes moved away, and he looked at a guard next to him, and a treacherous smile unfolded on his pretty face: "I don't know what Sister Youji thinks?" ”

Yuji's sister is Zhang Ning.

This girl didn't know what was crazy, she went to Hongdu Gate to study, and actually asked Cai Yong to take words for her, when the reader and the crown, she can take words, and Cai Yan is more special, she is young and outstanding, Cai Yong took the word for him, which means a person who reads.

To say that Cai Yong is principled, this kind of thing cannot come down, but Zhang Ning has already figured out Cai Yong's thoughts, she actually doesn't read medical books, goes to read Confucian allusions, and can also export chapters, this shocked Cai Yong, today, women are not talented is virtuous, people who can have talent, in addition to their own baby daughter, Zhang Ning is the second he has seen.

It's a pity that he really did it.

Cai Yong took the word Youji for Zhang Ning.

Mu Jing doesn't know the meaning of this, but after Cai Zhaoji, there is also Zhang Youji.

Mu Jing felt that his head was big.

The most important thing is that none of these two women can handle by themselves, Cai Yan is gentle as water, but her mind is transparent, and she can see everything in her eyes and remember it in her heart, while Zhang Ning, who is as strong as a man, can afford honor and disgrace, and cannot be bullied.

Zhang Ninggui is the commander of the Divine Guard, the Divine Guard is the last safe guard around Mu Jing, she is also the first personal guard by Mu Jing's side, and she is a daughter, and she is the only person in the Divine Guard Army who can freely enter and leave the back house.

If things are so coincidental, there is such a coincidence.

Today, Mu Jing and Hu Zhao Liu Jinqing in the south study have a year to pay taxes, and they have been busy for most of the day, and they are irritable, so they came to the back house, I thought it was to warm up with my daughter-in-law, and he didn't mind having a daytime announcement or something, but who would have thought that Zhang Ning, the girl Shenlong, saw the head and the end, and was also in the back house.

That's why he sits majestically.

"Sister Zhaoji's piano skills are really unparalleled in the world!"

Zhang Ning was generous and said with a smile.

"Hiding a knife in a smile!" Mu Jing watched the interaction between the two women, but threw himself aside, and couldn't help but babble.

Zhang Ning's ears were pointed, and his gentle eyes gave him a murderous white eye, which made him fall down in an instant.

"Sister is just so capable, but it's not as good as Sister Youji!" Cai Yan carried the cyan palace skirt, walked over, took Zhang Ning's little hand, and made a table together: "Sister Youji's martial arts are outstanding, and Qihuang's art is known as the first in the world, not to mention her husband, even Zhaoji admires it!" “

She paused, and then said, "I heard that my husband is going to establish a medical hall in Nanzheng, and he also wants to hire Sister Youji as a sacrificial wine, and my sister is quite envious!" “

Mu Jing rarely hides things from her, and even many of the notebooks she brings back on weekdays are for her own review, so she actually knows all the big and small things in the Minghou Mansion, including the establishment of this medical hall.

The establishment of a medical hall is just a plan.

In this era, medicine is too backward, Mu Jing has a thought, people have birth, old age, sickness and death, birth, old age and death, all can not be controlled, only the disease can be treated, he hopes that medicine can be developed, and the doctor Lang Lang can improve his status, and Zhang Ning is the one with the highest medical skills among the people he knows.

Of course, if you want to achieve the purpose of the medical hall, it must be extremely difficult, and the biggest obstacle is probably the inside, although Zhang Ning is under the command of the Divine Guard, but after all, she is a woman, if she shows up for sacrificial wine, she will attract the anger of the Confucians.

At that time, Mujing may not be able to suppress it.

Among the scholars in Hanzhong, ten can find an old Confucian student, these people have read all their lives, but they have not achieved much, power is not in pursuit, life and death are out of the way, and they are bent on maintaining Confucian orthodoxy, which is very difficult.

"If my sister is envious, you can go to him, he is the lord, I am a subordinate, he has an order, how dare I resist!" Zhang Ning glanced at Mu Jing, and said meaningfully: "You have a life, only follow it!" ”

"You have a life, but you have to obey it?"

Mu Jing's eyes fell on Zhang Ning's slender body, this girl appeared in men's clothes, but she felt that her face was as handsome as white jade, but now in a long skirt, the charm is no longer under Cai Yan, and even in appearance, it is better than Cai Yan, but Cai Yan is better than temperament.

The two daughters can be evenly divided.

Such two beauties are very eye-catching, and adding Zhang Ning's words made Mu Jing's heart very hot, and a trace of fiery thoughts emerged.

But after all, there is no courage.

In this back house, Mu Jing didn't dare to stay for too long, for fear of being sandwiched between the two girls, so he found a reason and left in disgrace.

This blessing of Qi people is not easy to enjoy.

"Guts bandits!"

Zhang Ning looked at someone's cowardice and couldn't help but say coquettishly.

"What did my sister say?" Cai Yan looked at her with a smile.

"Nope!"

Zhang Ning hurriedly straightened up: "Sister, although I am familiar with this Qihuang technique, the medical school has invested a lot of his thoughts, I don't have the confidence to do it well, and I want to ask my sister to give me advice!" ”

"It's not that hard!"

Cai Yan said in a deep voice: "It's just about employing people, using available people, you can get twice the result with half the effort, if you don't use people properly, it will have an impact, my sister will call you the shots in this matter, just a medical school, how can it be rare for us!" ”

………………

……

December 23rd.

This year, the harvest of the people in Hanzhong is quite good, and Mu Jingxin is stationed in Hanzhong, in order to win the hearts of the people, a lot of taxes are reduced, so that many people have become a little richer, and the end of this year also makes them a lot more happy.

And the Minghou Mansion is still in a tense and busy situation.

The more this happens, the busier it gets.

Hokubudo.

Today, the lieutenant generals of the four armed forces gathered together to review this year's army reorganization plan and also plan for next year's military training.

This year's downsizing, reorganization, and a large number of affairs have been carried out until now, and only now can it be regarded as completely putting up the shelves of the four armed forces, and the next training is the most important.

Mu Jing wants elite soldiers.

The so-called elite soldiers are professional soldiers, soldiers who take war as their profession, not all kinds of troops in this era, such as tuntian soldiers, border troops, government soldiers, etc., these soldiers are all soldiers who fight when there is a war on weekdays and plough the fields when there is no war.

The reason why Mu Jing wants to be reorganized and disarmed is that he wants an elite division.

Mu Jing didn't know much about military training, but he did know that there were several military books that were suitable for warfare in the era of cold weapons, such as Qi Jiguang's military training records, as well as Yue Fei's military books, and infantry drill manuals, all of which were regarded as military books for the art of war.

And under the influence of later generations, he can still use concepts that transcend the times.

He didn't understand, but he could irrigate these military records, concepts, military formations, training attention, discipline, and all to the generals under the command of the herdsman.

Previously, he had joined forces with Huang Zhong to compile the military law of the pastoral army.

At that time, he had a mind in his heart, he wanted to gather all the generals in the army, and prepare to compile a drill book that could train him in the army, although he knew a lot of military books, but he couldn't move all those things, first of all, he had to be suitable for the war of this era, which took time and had to be completed little by little.

……

Afternoon.

Hokubudo, the side hall of strategic analysis.

The huge sand table, 20 meters long and 15 meters wide, took hundreds of craftsmen and took more than three months to complete, and the terrain simulated above is the topographic map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

"Tan Zong, let's start reporting!"

Mu Jing stood in the center, with military generals on the left and right, and both eyes were staring at this sand table.

"No!"

Tan Zong nodded, integrated the file in his hand, let the person behind him push the wheelchair, and began to walk up, first put a small flag, embroidered with two golden characters of Minghou, representing Mujing, inserted in the position of Hanzhong County, and said: "Everyone, for more than a year, my Jingwusi has been collecting news from the world, first of all, there are thirteen states in the world, and there are many male masters, and my Minghou Mansion occupies less than one-third of the territory of Hanzhong and Nanyang, all of which are here!" ”

Although the territory is small, but this flag is planted here, and the Minghou Mansion can be regarded as a prince all the way in the world.

But this made the hearts of the generals sink deeply.

I didn't feel much before.

But now, seeing that the flag representing the Ming Marquis can only be planted in a mere Hanzhong, it makes them have a trace of blood boiling in their hearts, and they want to plant the flag all over the world.

"Yizhou Liu Yan!"

Tan Zong handed out the second small flag, Yue Shu was beside him, and personally planted it, representing Liu Yan of Yizhou: "Liu Yan is now entrenched in the land of Bashu, last month he also sent troops to conquer Yizhou County, united dozens of surnames in Yizhou, suppressed Yizhou barbarians, Yizhou is now under his control except for Hanzhong, he has nearly 200,000 armor!" ”
