"Why is he in such a hurry?" Hu Zhao hurried over and was a little surprised when he heard the news that Huangfu Songbing's soldiers were in Shouchun.

"Perhaps, he is much smarter than we think!"

Mu Jing squinted, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a meaningful smile, and said: "We have always thought that he Huangfu Song only understands the battlefield, but does not understand politics, in fact, we think wrong, he doesn't understand, he just disdains it, in fact, there are many things, he can understand it, but the principle is too strong!" ”

"I don't understand very well, let's be clear!"

Hu Zhao looked at Mu Jing and said in a deep voice.

"Huangfu Song knows the purpose of Lu Bu's army in Yuzhou, and he is forced to engage Yuan's army, once he enters the stage of defeat and defeat, then he may encounter Lu Bu's sniping!"

Mu Jing analyzed: "So he used lightning tactics to solve Shouchun in the county before Lu Bu reacted, and even if the Xiliang army went south, as long as he recovered the main strength, he was not afraid of fighting with Lu Bu!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "In fact, compared to Lu Bu, I am more optimistic about Huangfu Song, Lu Bu bravely crowned the three armies, but Huangfu Song is the god of the army, on the battlefield, if you don't look at the logistics conditions of both sides, 80% of the victory is Huangfu Song!" ”

Huangfu Song is powerful, he has personally understood it.

Lu Bu is indeed very strong, but it is strong in the individual, if you talk about the ability to command, in fact, Lu Bu is not as good as Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's command ability is also one of the best in this era.

However, this era has the characteristics of this era, in the era of cold weapons, the weight of personal force is very heavy, and a powerful military general has a general trend, even if there are 3,000 soldiers and horses, it can defeat an army of 10,000 people.

So Lu Bu is still a feared general.

Lu Bu led the army to look down on the border of Yuzhou, and the pressure in the heart of the persecuted Huangfu Song was very great, and he couldn't sit still, so he went off the rails with his sword, and directly attacked Shouchun City, and defeated Yuan Shu in the shortest possible time.

In this way, even Lu Bu may not be able to react.

"But he may not be able to break Shouchun!" Hu Zhao listened to Mu Jing's statement, thought about it, and said: "Shouchun City is also considered to be a city with high walls and thick walls, and there are many places surrounded by water, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"You're wrong!"

Mu Jing disagreed with Hu Zhao's statement, and said: "On the contrary, I think that as long as Huangfu Songbing is in Shouchun City, then Shouchun City is already over!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Pull a whole body!" Mu Jingdao: "Now Yuan Shu can still support it, that's because his military heart is still there, but when Huangfu Song's soldiers come to Shouchun City, his military heart will inevitably be defeated, and when the time comes, the defenses on all sides of Runan and Jiujiang will lose their effectiveness, whether it is Cao Cao or Zhang Liao, they can directly drive straight in!" ”

He sneered and said, "Yuan Highway, it's come to an end!" ”

"It's a pity, a generation of heroes, this is lost!"

Hu Zhao sighed a little.

"Now I don't have anything to do with this, I'm more related to Huangfu Song!" Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, and thought for a long time before he said: "Kong Ming, this Huangfu Song used to feel that he was pedantic, so he was not afraid of him, but now I have some feelings, even if Huangfu Song is too stubborn in principle, his thinking may not be rigid, he is a person who knows how to be flexible, but he is just unwilling to give in!" ”

"You're going to recruit him?"

Hu Zhao looked at Mu Jing and asked cautiously.

"Wrong!" Mu Jing immediately shook his head: "I still have that opinion, Huangfu Song will not surrender to the Minghou Mansion, he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty after all, he is more loyal and righteous than Old Man Cai, once his thinking is established, it is difficult to change, so even if he is willing to take refuge in my Minghou Mansion, in fact, I don't dare to accept him, if this kind of person bites behind you, then it is really impossible to prevent it!" ”

He wasn't unwilling.

It's not quite daring.

The point is that he thinks that he may not be able to control Huangfu Song, and he doesn't want to do self-defeating things.

"And what are you going to do?" Hu Zhao asked.

"What can I do!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly and said: "I can only watch, now Xi Zhicai has gone to Xiangyang County, the Zhanhu Battalion and the Wuxi Barbarian Battalion have also been transferred north, Jiujiang, Runan, Nanyang, all the changes, can only depend on his decision!" ”

He rubbed the bridge of his nose, his eyes flickered, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and after half a sound, he said: "I don't know why, I feel that Xiliang is not so easy to clean up Huangfu Song, and there may be something wrong!" ”

"Isn't it better for things to get bigger and bigger?" Hu Zhao sneered and said: "It is the best for us to make the imperial court lose troops and generals!" ”

"What if the big ones can't be cleaned up?"

"What do you mean?"

"If Huangfu Song really dares to go out, maybe he will really have some influence!" Mu Jing sighed and didn't answer: "It's naturally best for us to eat melons, but we are also prepared for the worst!" ”

"What's the worst scenario!"

"Move!"

"Pouring out of the nest?"

"It's possible!"

"Not really!"

"The situation has become too fast, so fast that I can't see clearly, the best and worst plans, for us, there is no harm, what I am most afraid of is being beaten suddenly, and I don't even have a chance to react!"

"I'm a little creepy when you say that!"

Hu Zhao trembled and said: "No, I have to go to Beiwutang later, discuss with Huang Zhong, strengthen the deployment of the whole army, restore all combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and arrange logistics at the same time to ensure that the arsenal and grain depot can be in a state of combat readiness!" ”

"Hmm!"

Ranch head.

It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

"Or I'll go now!"

"Let's go for a while!" Mu Jing said: "I have one more thing to discuss with you!" ”

"What's the matter?" Hu Zhao looked at him in surprise.

"Look at this!"

Mu Jing handed a preliminary plan to Hu Zhao in his hand, and then said, "Then give some advice!" ”

"What is this?"

"See for yourself!"

"Mysterious and secretive!"

Hu Zhao opened it, and after looking at it carefully, his pupils moved slightly, and his expression was full of doubts, and after half a sound, he raised his head and said, "What do you mean by doing this?" ”

"Isn't it clear enough?" Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

"It's very clear, but I can't understand your original meaning!" Hu Zhaodao: "You are ready to set up a seat for the Minister of Political Affairs in the Zhaoming Pavilion, I can understand this, but the powers and responsibilities of these Minister of Political Affairs still have the meaning of existence, I am a little confused!" ”

"What does it mean to be in politics?" Mu Jing asked.

"Participating in government affairs?"

"That's right!"

Mu Jing said: "If you listen to it, you will believe it in the dark, my choice alone, maybe the decisions of me and you are a little incomplete, people, can not guarantee that you can not do wrong things at all times, so I plan to change the decision-making level of the Minghou Mansion, in the past, the Minghou Mansion will report to the Zhaoming Pavilion, and then you and I will decide, the Zhaoming Pavilion is the decision-making center of the Minghou Mansion, you and I are the ones who take the idea, now, I am ready to change this kind of somewhat thin, some are not comprehensive enough, and some are easy to dictatorship!" ”

He explained his governing philosophy to Hu Zhao in detail, and said: "Set up a seat for the Minister of Participation in the Zhaoming Pavilion, every seat is very important, he will have decision-making power, and he will be able to participate in the military and political affairs of the Ming Marquis Mansion!" ”

In Mu Jing's heart, his experience in governance is actually insufficient, after all, as a businessman, whether he does things or looks at some things, he will instinctively carry a businessman's style.

Businessmen are mercenary, no matter how they do things, they always look atmospheric, but they are not atmospheric enough.

Starting from Hanzhong, ruling independently, all the way down, although it was very smooth, but many drawbacks also emerged, and he needed to change, not only to change himself, but also to change this dictatorial method.

It's not that he is ready to advocate democracy, one era is different from the other, and if you play democracy in this era, you can easily be played as a fool.

The wisdom of the people has not yet been opened, and the minds of the people are dull.

If you tell them big truths, they won't understand them, he makes them understand, they only know how to think about things with their own thinking, and the so-called democracy can only be tied hand and foot.

A constitutional monarchy could be considered, but it's not the time.

What Mu Jing wanted to emulate was the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

The cabinet system proposed by the Ming Dynasty was a good governing policy in the era of feudal and backward territory.

"In this way, the power of the lord will be divided, once someone has ambitions, forms a party for personal gain, and controls the Zhaoming Pavilion, the lord will become a puppet!" Hu Zhao gasped.

Mu Jing actually proposed such a governance plan, he couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

He can imagine how much impact this will have on Mujing once the political participation system of Zhaoming Pavilion is established, even if Mujing can control the overall situation, then the descendants of the Mu family, can they be in charge of Zhaoming Pavilion in the future.

Since ancient times, kings have held power and actively divided power, and there are really few of them.

"People's abilities, three points are innate, seven points are cultivated, the Liu family can have Gaozu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu and so on, and there are also faint kings!" Mu Jing said calmly: "I dare to propose, naturally think that I can be in charge of Zhaomingtang, I am confident that I will have one day, no one under my Mu clan dares to oppose me, as for the future, the descendants have their own children and grandchildren, if they can't hold it, then let them be a puppet obediently, isn't it very good, we can't let the descendants of the Mu family not fight, just let the people of the world suffer, I want to guarantee only one thing, that is, the decision-making of the Zhaoming Pavilion, there can be no problems, a policy, about the people, a small order, can make countless heads fall to the ground, so Zhaoming Pavilion must be wise and martial, and never faint! ”

"The lord acts magnificently, and his subordinates admire him, but this matter is very important, and his subordinates should think carefully before they can give the lord an answer!"

Hu Zhao bowed and said word by word.

"Think slowly, don't rush!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "I don't dare to say that what I did is right, and I don't dare to say that the policy plan I put forward is absolutely good, I took it out to discuss with you, that is, I hope that there can be a consensus, and you don't take too much care of my face, what I want is a policy that can be implemented, so that the administrative collective of Minghou Mansion, which is in charge of Yizhou, will become more outstanding, understand!" ”

"Subordinates understood!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

He left the main hall with a heavy heart, and returned to the side hall first, in the side hall, he looked at the plan written by Mu Jing himself for a while to propose the minister of political affairs, and read it very carefully, until the afternoon, he went to the official office of the Beiwutang to discuss the reorganization of the army with Huang Zhong......

……………………………………

Xiangyang County, Xiangyang City.

As the Sima of the Minghou Mansion, the top three giants in Yizhou, and the first military division of the pastoral army, the identity of Xi Zhicai is top secret in many places, and this time he went north, the Minghou Mansion did not issue any notice, even if the place is not clear.

However, the mobilization of the Zhanhu Battalion and the Wuxi Battalion could not be concealed from the locality.

The combat effectiveness of the War Tiger Battalion has not yet recovered, although the recruits are all elites selected by various troops, but the integration with the veterans has not been completed, and the current combat effectiveness is only seventy percent less than the previous one.

However, the Wuxi camp recovered quickly.

Don't look at the Wuxi barbarian army in the Nanzhong Campaign also suffered heavy losses, but they have the support of the Wuxi barbarian tribe, and there is no need to supplement, the Wuxi battalion is the elite composition of the original Wuxi barbarian army, plus the cooperation between the tribesmen, itself must be more closely coordinated within other armies, in addition, they are also unfamiliar with the military formation, no need to run in, as long as the military formation is trained, in just a few months, the Wuxi battalion's training of the military formation has made great progress, and the combat effectiveness has been improved a lot.

The two armies and horses rushed north, and in less than seven days, they had already entered the suburbs of Xiangyang, and the troops were stationed in Longzhong in the northern suburbs of Xiangyang, waiting for orders.

in the barracks.

Xi Zhicai stood in front of a marching map hung up on a screen, looking at the terrain of the entire Nanyang: "I just got a news that Huangfu Song marched day and night, walked nearly 600 miles in one day and one night, and has already arrived in Shouchun City!" ”

"It's too ruthless!"

Both Thunder Tiger and Shamoko gasped a little.

Even if their elite wants to march continuously in one day and one night, it is difficult to walk five hundred miles, this is definitely a lightning march.

"I can tell a little bit from this!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "The combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army, I'm afraid it is not under us, Huangfu Song not only has a hand in fighting, but even in training, no one can match, after all, I don't have the ability to pull a large army and run six hundred miles in one day and one night!" ”

"The key is the situation of Shouchun?"

A general of the Battle Tiger Battalion said: "Huangfu Song marched so quickly and raided Shouchun, I'm afraid that now that the battle of Shouchun has begun, he won't give Yuan Shu a chance to react!" ”

"That's right!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "Shouchun City will definitely not be able to hold it, the end of Yuan Shu is approaching, but how long he can hold on, I can't say, but now, our target is not in Shouchun, in Runan, the battlefield of Jiujiang, there are Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, it is enough, what we have to stare at now is Nanyang!" ”

"This is also the main intention of the lord to send our army north, right?"

Lei Hu said.

"Hmm!"

Xi Zhicai said: "We want to take Nanyang before Huangfu Song returns to Nanyang!" ”

"That should be easy!" Shamoke said: "The main force of the Guanzhong Army is already on the Shouchun battlefield, Nanyang is empty, as long as we drive straight in, we will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop!" ”

"It's easy to think, but in fact it's definitely not that simple!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We must be the only ones eyeing Nanyang!" ”

"Who else, is it Jingzhou!"

"Jingzhou is in a disaster now, just look at this Xiangyang City, even the surrounding areas of Xiangyang have been flooded by heavy rain, the downstream should be even more miserable, they can hold it up to it It's already good, do you still have the intention of sending troops to Nanyang?"

Lei Hu sneered.

"That's right!" Xi Zhicai said: "They shouldn't have the intention of spying on Nanyang, but we still have an enemy, the Xiliang Army!" ”

"Xiliang Army!"

Lei Hu's face suddenly became solemn, his fists were clenched, the breath of his body was like a flame, burning brightly, and even his eyes were a little blood-red, revealing a cold killing intent: "It's just right, I haven't fought for so many years, I want to meet them now!" ”

Back then, the pastoral army was stabbed by Xiliang and trapped in Guanzhong, with countless casualties, and how many descendants of the older generation were wiped out in that battle.

The Storm Bear Army was almost wiped out in that battle.

Countless soldiers are Lei Hu's brothers, friends, elders, and robes...... They all died in that battle.

Speaking of which, the enmity between them is as deep as the sea.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and said, "It's going to be a fight, but not now, we have to wait!" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for news from Shouchun!" Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and said lightly: "We all want Nanyang, so fight, it must be fought, but in what way to fight, to fight harder, or lighter, you need to have a goal, don't forget, the current Nanyang is in the hands of Huangfu Song, look at the casualties of the Guanzhong army, let's make plans again, you recuperate, ready for war at any time!" ”

He paused and said, "In addition, in three days, we will move to Xinye!" ”

"No!"

…………………………………………………………

Shouchun City.

When it gets dark, it's a peaceful city, but after dawn, it's a hell.

The Guanzhong army attacked the city.

There is not the slightest rest.

When Huangfu Song's troops approached the city, he directly launched an attack.

Of course, his attack was not too ferocious, after all, the soldiers consumed a lot of physical strength, so he only arranged some cases to attack, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rested, and then a day later, let the soldiers and horses that had been rested attack, alternate ways of attacking, although the strength of the attack was not large, it may allow the soldiers to continue to attack, and saved this offensive, so that the soldiers in the city had a little luck The mood was broken, and the fighting spirit was crushed one by one, and the defense of Shouchun City was not very strong. The troops outside the Yuan army were not able to come back quickly, and they fought easily.

Huangfu Song stormed the city wall for more than three days, and finally knocked on the gate of Shouchun City.
