Chapter 538: Do I Use Them, or Are They Using?
March Yangchun, Hanzhong.
South Zhengcheng.
The war has gradually passed, and the people of the city have become quiet from the panic at the beginning, pushing open the doors of their homes, going out into the streets, opening closed shops, working what should be done, and going to work when they should work.
No matter who is in charge of the house, in the hearts of the people, life still has to go on, in fact, the people are pure and good, and whoever can let them eat and live a peaceful life will be the master of the house.
After the herdsmen entered Hanzhong, they did not cause a lot of slaughter, and naturally they were gradually accepted by the people, and Hanzhong has changed hands, which is a fact, and they are gradually adapting to this fact.
However, compared to Mu Jing, he can't care about appeasing the people for the time being.
He's busy almost every day now.
It is easy to defeat Hanzhong, but if you want to use Hanzhong as a place to recuperate, it is not an easy thing, although he defeated Zhang Lu, he may not be able to sit firmly in Hanzhong, whether it is external or internal, there are too many problems involved.
But now for him, Hanzhong is now stable, even if the imperial court or Liu Yan has an opinion on him and is unwilling to let him sit in Hanzhong, within a year and a half, they may not rush to send troops.
Therefore, Mujing is more concerned about the situation in Nanyang.
"Zhicai, is there any news from Nanyang today?" Mu Jing walked through the corridor, and then walked into a side hall, which was opened up by the drama to open up the office hall of the Ming Marquis Sima, he recruited a lot of staff clerks, alone in the house, began to deal with government affairs.
As the Ming Marquis Sima, he is in charge of the Beiwu Hall under the command of the Ming Marquis Mansion, in charge of military affairs, and now the armies are under his control, after the war, there are many things in the army to deal with the aftermath, such as counting prisoners, arranging to take care of prisoners, counting casualties in the war, and preparing for compensation......
So Xi Zhicai is actually very busy.
However, when he saw Mu Jing, he still stood up and saluted to greet him: "Meet Minghou!" ”
"Don't use these false courtesies, I'll ask, is there any news from Nanyang back?"
"Not yet!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "The earliest news came back more than ten days ago, Nanxiang is still under siege, Kong Ming means lost, fighting one by one, as for the result, it is still unknown!" ”
"Even Jing Wuji has no news at all?"
"Lord, have you found out, Jing Wusi has been very slow to deliver the news of Nanyang recently, I suspect that Jing Wusi's foundation in Nanyang has been completely destroyed, and it is also destroyed from the inside!"
Xi Zhicai didn't want to speculate about Jing Wusi, since its establishment, Jing Wusi has played a great role in both the Kanto and the breakthrough of Guanzhong, and it is really unmatched in terms of news inquiry and transmission.
But Jing Wusi's transmission of the situation in Nanyang during this period of time did have some anomalies, which made him have to be suspicious.
Jingwusi started from Nanyang, and the foundation is all in Nanyang, first of all, the news of Wancheng's dispatch to Nanxiang has not been inquired about at all, which is already a very strange phenomenon, and in addition, the situation in Nanxiang is erosive, which makes Xi Zhicai even more suspicious of the internal situation of Jingwusi.
"When Nanyang mutated before, there were some doubts in the hearts of a certain family!"
Mu Jing said gloomily: "Later, I recalled Tan Zong and asked Tan Zong to find out, but Tan Zong never returned, not even a single news, such a situation is rare, Tan Zong is not a person who does not know proportion!" ”
Jing Wusi spent a lot of his efforts, but there was such a big mistake in Nanyang, so he had to be careful.
Jingwu Si was originally an espionage organization.
It's not his own way of doing things.
The way of using the room, that is since ancient times, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a "use of the chapter", in which the people who read it, there are not a few, among which there are more classic sentences: so there are five between use, there are causes, there are inside, there are antis, there are deaths, there are life......
Once there is a problem in Jing Wusi, it proves that someone is in the middle of the war.
If someone is eyeing Jing Wusi, the news transmitted by Jing Wusi will be a lot more dangerous, Nanyang is the place where Jing Wusi spends the most experience and arranges the most light and dark spies, if there are problems in Nanyang, Mu Jing can't believe that Jing Wusi can still use it.
He summoned Tan Zong back, and even let go of the infiltration of Bashu, in order to let Tan Zong deal with the interior.
He pondered for a while, knelt down, and sighed: "Jing Wusi, I'm afraid I can't rely on it!" ”
"It doesn't have to rely on the news of Jingwu Division, we don't have much manpower to inquire about the news in Nanyang, but Huang Zhong is cautious in his march, and he also knows that the lord is quite worried about the situation in Nanyang, and during the march, the scouts will send back a message every day!"
Xi Zhicai didn't pay much attention to Jing Wusi's internal changes, he paid more attention to the situation in Nanyang: "The information from today is yesterday, they only entered Fangling yesterday, from Fangling to Dongshan, and then along the Dongshan plank road into Nanyang, in terms of time, I am afraid it will take five to ten days, the key is that the Dongshan plank road is unstable, the road is not easy to walk, no one can guarantee the speed of the march, I am afraid that Nanxiang will be ...... by then."
"Can't hold on?"
Mu Jing squinted his eyes, his eyes flashed a touch of melancholy, and he opened his mouth quietly, adding the words that Xi Zhicai wanted to speak.
He didn't know the situation in Nanxiang, and even wanted to lead the army back in person, but they had worked hard to defeat Hanzhong, and now he couldn't walk away, otherwise he would be picked a peach when he turned around Hanzhong.
But even if he asked Huang Zhong to personally lead the army back, he was still not at ease enough.
Don't talk about the importance of Nanxiang's geographical location to their counterattack on Nanyang in the future, just say that there are too many people in Nanxiang He can't let go, the elite officials of Minghou Mansion, and his wife Cai Yan, once Nanxiang can't hold on, the foundation of Minghou Mansion in Nanyang will be extinct.
"If Yuan Shu is determined enough, Nanxiang will be in danger!" Xi Zhicai thought about it and said.
"You mean, Yuan Shu will increase his troops?"
Mu Jing frowned: "He hasn't even stabilized Yuzhou now, and he is still trying to Yangzhou, where is he trying to put in a few counties in my Nanyang District?" ”
Yuan Shu took Yuzhou last year, and there were two major counties in Nanyang and Runan, with strong soldiers and strong horses, among the princes of Kwantung, even Yuan Shao, who had already captured Hebei, could not compare, and his intention to seize Yangzhou was clearly revealed.
"Yuan Highway is very hot in our heart, if there is a chance, he will never give up the opportunity, not to mention the big one, add one or two thousand soldiers and horses to Nanyang, with his current strength, it is not a problem!"
"That's just as well!"
The pastor nodded, his fists clenched inadvertently, gritted his teeth, and said gloomily: "But even if we know, I'm afraid we can't reach it now!" ”
It is impossible for him to give up Hanzhong, so on the Nanyang side, he can only look at luck.
"If the lord doesn't give an order, let the elite cavalry escort the lady out of Nanxiang and into Hanzhong!"
Xi Zhicai said in a low voice.
This is to abandon the car to protect the handsome, to give up Nanyang and protect the wife.
"My madam, I understand it, at this juncture, she may not leave, she looks weak, but her character is tenacious, before going out, I also gave her the Jingping order" Mu Jingdao.
"Jing Pingling, why?"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was dumbfounded.
"I led the army into Hanzhong, my confidence was insufficient, and the future was uncertain, so I was afraid that if I was not careful on the battlefield, the horse leather would be shrouded, and I gave her Jingping Order, so that she could have a way to live in the future!" Mu Jing smiled bitterly.
"If she executes the Jingping order, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of all sizes will only be able to listen to her!" Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Jing: "Are you so relieved that she Jing Pingling?" ”
"Well, I won't hide it from you!"
Mu Jing knew that he was not convinced by Xi Zhicai's words: "I handed over the Jingping order to her because I am optimistic about her, my wife, not an ordinary boudoir woman, she is the head of the house, once Nanxiang is in danger, she with this order, she may be able to make the whole heart, when I just want to gamble!" ”
"How dare you bet!"
Xi Zhicai gasped.
"It's useless to say anything now, it's impossible for us to lead the army back, it's time to see what they have created!" Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.
"Let's talk about going back to Hanzhong!"
Xi Zhicai also put this matter behind for the time being, after all, no matter how they discussed it here, they couldn't save the situation in Nanyang, what is the situation in Nanyang, the only way to let them fight and resign themselves to fate.
"The First Army of the Jingping Army and the Second Army of Jingping have dispersed their battalions and stationed in various counties to temporarily stabilize order, but some people took advantage of the defeat of Zhang Lu and the time we were stationed to make trouble, but the impact was not great, the nine counties in Hanzhong, eight of which were in our hands, and now there is only the county seat of Chuyang!"
"Chuyang?"
Mu Jing's eyes burst out with a cold killing intent: "Zhicai, what do you think they mean, they want to turn against me?" ”
This is in the western part of Nanzheng, close to the location of Wudu County.
After the herdsmen entered Nanzheng, this turned into a battlefield, a battlefield for the competition between Mujing and the Han sergeant clan.
The pastoral army is as strong as this, and when it enters Hanzhong, the Han sergeant clan may not have to take over, and it can't be stopped openly, and it can definitely come up with some means secretly, after all, eighty percent of the officials in Hanzhong are all members of the Shi clan.
Even if Mu Jing dares to use a butcher's knife and kill these scholars in Hanzhong, then the rule of Hanzhong will collapse directly, and it will be a mess at that time, which is not a situation that Mu Jing wants to see.
What he wants is a stable Hanzhong.
"My lord, I think they are surrendering!" Xi Zhicai said.
"Surrender?"
When Mu Jing heard this, he reacted quickly, and said: "You mean, they are showing their strength, and then surrendering to sincerity, that is, telling me that they can be the master of Hanzhong, can override me, and can also assist me to stabilize Hanzhong, so that I can be a little better, right?" ”
"That's what it means!"
Xi Zhicai said.
"Where is this Toucheng, this is a threat!" Mu Jing said coldly.
"But my lord, we are really threatened like this!"
"Why?"
"The lord has ever thought about it, ruling Hanzhong, what to rely on, not that the soldiers are strong and strong can make Hanzhong peaceful, but that there are capable officials to do things for the people, my Minghou Mansion is too thin, and those old ministers of Xiangguo who have accumulated in the capital have all died in the battle of Guanzhong and fled, adding the name of the national thief of the ancestors, there are too few scholars who are willing to take refuge in us, and we want to use people, but no one is available!"
Xi Zhicai carefully analyzed: "This scholar clan, I'm afraid we still have to use it, after all, we can't make a big mess, and then rebuild a Hanzhong, we don't have that kind of time and energy at all, using them is the best way!" ”
"Do I use them, or do I get used by them?"
Mu Jing snorted coldly: "They want to use me as a puppet!" ”
These scholars are nothing more than the families of scholars, what they like the most is to support puppets and control the place, even the Five Doumi Sect couldn't suppress them at the beginning, but now they see Mu Jing, knowing that it is impossible for Mu Jing to have so many officials under him to supplement their positions, they just want to hold Mu Jing hostage.
"No matter what, now the court has not yet reached a conclusion, whether Liu Yan can pinch his nose and admit us is unknown, and we really let them threaten, otherwise Hanzhong will be in chaos, and the imperial court army and the Yizhou army will have a reason to drive straight in!" Xi Zhicai said.
"I can't bear this breath!"
Mu Jing took a deep breath: "You passed on an order to go to Taishou Mansion, from now on, all officials and officials in all counties in Hanzhong will be reinstated, stay and use directly, and do not make changes!" ”
That's an explanation.
Isn't what these scholars are most afraid of is to directly uproot their officials in the counties, and now he will give them a reassurance.
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai nodded, he also knew that Mu Jing gritted his teeth and bowed his head, but they could only bow their heads now, if they had enough talents, they could directly take down the various warriors who were making waves regardless of the consequences, but now after all, they owe some foundation.
…………
……
"Mingsheng, this year's spring ploughing is about to begin!"
Most of the affairs in the army Mu Jing was handed over to Xi Zhicai to go to the officials, he now pays more attention to the livelihood of the people in Hanzhong, after leaving the side hall of Xi Zhicai, it is noon, after lunch, Mu Jing summoned Hanzhong Changshi Yeru in the main hall, they want to discuss the matter of this year's spring ploughing.
Last year, they fought from the Dongshan plank road into Hanzhong, from Fangling County all the way to fight, Shangyong, Xicheng, Nanzheng, and so on were all affected by the chaos of the war, the war pushed through, the ruins were continuous, the dead and wounded were numerous, and a lot of fertile land was wasted.
Mu Jing now has countless big and small things, but the one he dares not despise the most is the major event of spring ploughing, so he personally summoned Ye Ru.
"It's ready!"
Ye Ru nodded and replied: "It's just that Hanzhong is still brilliant now, and there are countless people involved in the war before, and the people want to complete the spring ploughing, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!" ”
"Spring ploughing is the weight of the year!" Mu Jing said calmly: "It's not just about our life and death, but also about the life and death of the people, this matter must be carried out at all costs, what do you lack, what support do you need, you might as well speak up!" ”
In today's era, the rice is not full, farming is a big thing, if the spring ploughing can not be completed, Hanzhong's harvest this year is not guaranteed, which is a heavy blow to the new Minghou Mansion in Hanzhong.
"Report to the lord, now all localities have not completely calmed down the impact of Zhang Lu's thieves, and if you want to completely resume farming, you need manpower support, farm tool support, seed support, and irrigation problems......
Ye Ru said a lot, all of which were difficult, which made Mu Jing's mind dizzy.
"It seems that the problem of spring ploughing is very big!"
Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, he thought for a long time, and said: "You send me an order to tell everyone in the entire Hanzhong and each county that this year's spring ploughing, so-and-so, Minghou Mujing, will personally preside over it!" ”
"Lord ......"
"There is no greater problem than eating!" Mu Jing said resolutely.
