After the change of the sky in Yizhou, the first thing that attracted the attention of the entire Yizhou was a military meeting held by the Beiwutang of the Minghou Mansion in the White Emperor City, and everyone knew that this would determine the meeting of the generals in the army.

However, before that, a piece of news came from Xuzhou and was directly handed to Mu Jing's case.

"What a Cao Mengde!"

This was a piece of news that surprised Mu Jing, and he sighed sincerely: "This thing can be done, but it is difficult to do, use Yuan Shu as a target, fight the Xiliang army head-on, transfer troops behind the scenes, and actually take Xuzhou, hide from the sky and cross the sea, one blow, admire!" ”

In May, when Cao Cao was tired in Yanzhou, he was unexpected, and actually sent troops to attack Xuzhou, in early June, only a month before and after, he fought Lianke, successively broke through Xiao Pass, and faced Xiapi.

At this time, Tao Qian died suddenly, and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation and directly took Xiapi, Xiapi, Guangling Donghai and other counties, all surrendered.

He took Xuzhou and directly reversed the situation.

Originally, the Cao army in Yanzhou faced the Western Liang army was a series of defeats, Chen Liu and Dongjun lost a lot of territory, and could only resist the Western Liang army with the Yuan Shu Alliance, many people were not optimistic about Cao Cao, but no one expected that Cao Cao's courage was so big.

Xuzhou didn't expect it.

Although the Cao army had already attacked Xuzhou once, but later the situation changed, the Chang'an court sent troops, Yanzhou and Yuzhou bore the brunt, and the Cao army was exhausted and had no time for Xuzhou.

They will think that Cao Cao is facing such a predicament, and if he does not send troops, he is already kind, and he will definitely not send troops to Xuzhou.

However, they would never have imagined that Cao Cao would suddenly re-send troops to Xuzhou.

Without a little defense, in less than a month, Cao Cao had already taken Xuzhou.

"No one thought that Tao Qian's death was so sudden, this is the key, resulting in the Xuzhou dragons being leaderless, Cao Jun took advantage of the situation, and naturally took Xuzhou easily, which is not enough!"

Xi Zhicai said softly.

"Death? Zhicai, what you see is that he is seizing opportunities, but I confirm that he is creating opportunities! ”

Mu Jing shook his head: "Do you think that if he takes Xiapi, he will be able to make Guangling Donghai and other places obediently obedient, his efforts in this, I'm afraid there is not a year, but half a year, in addition, do you think Yuan Shu was put on the table, why don't you send troops to fight for Xuzhou with him, this is all a calculation!" ”

"The lord is saying that when he Cao Mengde formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, he was already planning Xuzhou?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"The Jiangdong Army sent troops too timely, if it weren't for the Jiangdong Army going north, do you think Yuan Shu would have watched Xuzhou be taken by Cao Cao!" Mu Jing sneered: "Now I can be sure of one thing, Cao Cao's alliance on the surface is Yuan Shu, and the one who secretly cooperates with Sun Jian is Sun Jian, Sun Jian dares to stand in Jiangdong, and he also has his support behind him!" ”

"How did they get a piece?"

"As long as there is interest, anyone can get a piece!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "At the beginning, we sent troops to fight Jingzhou, and Liu Biao fought in the dark, Liu Biao probably hated me to the bone, and killed me quickly, but later, for the sake of Jingzhou, he can also put aside the dust between us and cooperate with me, this is political survival, only a qualified prince!" ”

Do what you want, be happy and revenge, that's life.

Political cooperation is always ugly, and interests are the eternal starting point.

Mu Jing has known this truth for a long time.

But with such a deep understanding, it is only after experiencing countless things that I understand it, when I become the lord, I have a pair of eyes staring at myself, waiting for dinner with my mouth open, and many things, I can't help myself.

"If Cao Jun cooperates with Jiangdong Army, then Yuan Jun will be in trouble!" Xi Zhicai squinted, his eyes were hunting, and his mind was thinking: "Should we mix in and play at this time?" ”

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Any calculation will be crushed by strength, now, the first thing is not to weaken the strength of others, but to enhance our own strength, as long as my Minghou Mansion is strong enough, I will not be afraid of who joins forces with whom!" ”

It is inevitable that the princes will compete for each other, and it is inevitable that they will join forces vertically and horizontally, this is all means, and strength is the key.

"We must integrate our soldiers and horses as soon as possible!"

Mu Jing stood up, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "In this troubled world, only the stronger we are, can we ensure the space for survival, the road, has stepped out, either ascend to the sky, or die, and gain the state, it is not the same as getting peace, only the world is peaceful, it is peaceful, we can't relax at any time!" ”

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai raised his head, looking at Mu Jing's resolute side face, he admired Mu Jing's fighting spirit, this is the master who he wants to follow and assist.

…………

July, early October.

In the morning, in the White Emperor City, a round of sunrise rises for nine days, colorful clouds reflect the earth, and the morning sun shines like a rainbow, dazzling.

In the middle of the city, in a barren clearing, in a simple camp.

The tent was made of timber and covered with simple thatched bamboo, which was very simple, but the space was large and spacious, with a rectangular table in the middle and staircase-like seats on the left and right, which could accommodate thousands of people.

It was here that the military conference of the Hokubutō was held.

The pastoral army, the Yizhou army, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the future direction are all above this meeting, and everyone in Yizhou is paying attention to this meeting.

Above the rank of captain, the main general and deputy general, about a thousand generals, generals of the Zhonglang and generals of the military Sima level sat on both sides of the rectangular table, and the captain, the general of the battalion Sima level, stood on the ladder.

The nature that occupies the top position is the pastoral landscape.

Mu Jing is dressed in a strong suit today, his body is straight, a little less literati, and a little more soldier's attitude, sitting there is like a needle of the sea god.

The first three positions in the left column, Sima Hu Zhao, the chief of the Ming Hou Mansion, Sima Xi Zhicai, and Liu Jin, the chief of the Ming Hou Mansion.

These three are the most important people under Mu Jing, the iron triangle of the Ming Marquis Mansion.

The first general of Beiwutang, Huang Zhong, ranks first in the right position, which is the head of the typical battlefield generals, Chen Zhi of the first army of Jingping, Zhang Liao of the second army of Jingping, Huang Shao of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Huo of the Shenwei Army, Min Wu of the Wolf Battalion, and Lei Hu of the Battle Tiger Battalion......

The main general of the two battalions of the five armies under the command of the herdsman, only the Violent Bear Army could not come because the troops were at the junction of Jingzhou and were holding the Jingzhou army, and the rest were all here, and the northern Xinjiang was still peaceful, so Huang Shao also rushed down.

Next is the chief general of the Yizhou Army, headed by Zhang Ren, Pang Xi, Gao Ding, Deng Xian, Leng Bao, Liu Bi...... More than a dozen people sat at the end of the long table.

Yan Yan is not there.

In June, he had been appointed by the state priest as the Taishou of Hanzhong, leaving the military attaché and taking up the post of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the place where the dragon rises in the Ming Marquis Mansion, and the appointment of Yan Yan as the Taishou is to show the importance of this person on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to limit his influence in the military.

On the left and right sides of the position, on the left is the captain and battalion Sima of the pastoral army, one of them is as angry as a bullfight, full of energy, and on the right is the captain and deputy general of the Yizhou Military Academy, looking at each other, nervous, and lacking momentum.

"So, Minghou Mujing, all of you should know me!"

Mu Jing raised his head slightly, he glanced around, his eyes swept over the faces in the camp, these, the future will be the sharpest knives and guns in his hands, this meeting, will also be a meeting to lay the foundation of the Ming Hou Mansion, he said calmly: "You are all marching and fighting, people who have come out of life and death, so don't say too many official words, we and other soldiers, we should be frank!" ”

He stood up and walked along the gap road, under a pair of eyes, around the long table: "Now, I give you one last chance, if you don't want to stay here, you won't be reluctant, you can choose to leave, and you will swear in the name of your father, the former prime minister of the Han court, Mushan, you will never be embarrassed, and you will be entangled, let you leave!" ”

"But is anyone willing to leave?"

He looked around, his eyes fixed on their faces, looked at their expressions, and asked in a deep voice.

When the generals heard this, most of them were silent, and the generals of the pastoral army naturally ignored this sentence, but the generals of Yizhou were all looking at each other, and some were also intentional, but no one acted, whether they wanted to or not, those who could come to White Emperor City this time were actually obedient.

Therefore, Mu Jing's words did not make another ripple in their hearts.

In the past, the biggest opinions on Mujing were Pang Xi and Gao Ding, and now they are just simply gloomy faces, leaving the intention, when they were in Chengdu, they could go, but what should the young master do.

"Since no one has left, you are willing to become a member of our Minghou Mansion soldiers, you have a military registration, a military register, and a military card, if you want to leave again, there are only two ways, either retire or desert!"

Mu Jing smiled and continued to walk along the long table, his voice could cover the camp: "The previous things have passed, it doesn't matter if you were an enemy or a friend, there is no point in caring about the past, everyone has learned to move forward, from now on, we are already a family!" ”

"In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms side by side, a robe of life and death, and only trust can survive from the battlefield!"

"And I Mujing, I can not give you many promises, born in troubled times, glory and wealth can only be fought by yourself, I only have one word, as long as the soldiers under my command, I will treat everyone equally, who makes meritorious service, who should be rewarded, who has had, who is punished!"

His words were very frank and direct, but they made the Yizhou generals who were already a little apprehensive in their hearts seem a little uncomfortable, because they are all familiar with each other, and the superiors have a bit of official words when they speak.

Of course, these generals also thought that what Mu Jing said was just a scene.

They are just surrendering their troops.

The shepherds are descendants.

How can Mu Jing treat everyone equally, it is always more important to be a descendant, so they will not take Mu Jing's words as sincere, but Mu Jing said this, which still makes them feel a little stable in their hearts, Mu Jing is the lord, and he is full of words, even if they know that this is a scene, as long as they say it, there is also a deterrent.
