Zhaoming Hall.

Mu Jing pointed to the huge map of the world, he had been thinking about the location in the southwest of the map for a long, long time, and it was time to make a move, he said to Min Wu: "The plan must be cooperated with the wolf battalion, in order to confuse the eyes of some people, I will transfer the war tiger battalion away!" ”

"Transfer the War Tiger Battalion away?"

This made Min Wu a little unconfident, he arched his hands, and said: "Lord, at this time, the war tiger battalion is transferred, will it trigger the counterattack of the white horse Qiang, now my wolf tribe can be safe and worry-free, and the Qiang Dao City can gradually be stable, all of which are related to the combat effectiveness of the war tiger battalion. ”

He sighed: "Qiang Dao City is becoming more and more prosperous, more and more Qiang people from small tribes are coming to live here, and sooner or later, the White Horse Department will make a move on Qiang Dao City!" ”

"I transferred the War Tiger Battalion to tell some people that I am in the west and have no troops!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "The wolf camp has naturally become my only killer feature!" ”

He thought for a while and continued: "But for Qiang Dao City, it is indeed a little unfair, the prosperity of Qiang Dao City will naturally attract some peeps, I am afraid that not only Baima Qiang, but even some people in Jishi Mountain will be tempted!" ”

"But the Qiang people are still in civil strife, and they can't spare time to attack Qiang Dao City!"

"Before the Battle Tiger Battalion leaves, it will provoke once and fight fiercely, and your wolf battalion cooperates, the more it hurts them, the more it can delay their peep into Qiang Dao City!"

"At that time, I may even have to leave the wolf camp!"

"I need you to go south!"

"It's not that you want to give up Qiangdao City!"

Mu Jing said categorically: "As long as I can take Yizhou, the Qiang Dao City in the future will give them a boldness, and they will not dare to come!" ”

He patted Min Wu on the shoulder and said: "If at this critical time, your soldiers and horses have left, and they send troops to Qiang Dao City, then we can only give up, I am not afraid of losing, I can get it back if I lose, but since the Wolf Tribe is my people, there is no room for loss, after you go back, you are ready to move the Wolf Ginseng Department into Wudu City, and Xia Wei City, to avoid losses, you can abandon Qiang Dao for the time being!" ”

"Yes!"

Min Wu thought about it, for the Qiang Dao tribe, Qiang Dao City is indeed very important, he relied on Qiang Dao City, he gathered the hearts of the people of the Qiang Wolf Tribe, if he could, he didn't want to give up Qiang Dao, but when he saw the southwest of the map, he suddenly felt that a Qiang Dao City was not important.

In the past, his eyes were only on the wolf department, but now, he has to look at the world.

"Min Wu, this may be a grievance to the Wolf Department!" Mu Jing said softly: "But I can't afford to lose, I will pay back what I owe to the Wolf Department, but I can join the Wolf Camp, and when necessary, I must transfer unconditionally, you know!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Min Wu bowed his head and said: "The overall situation is important, the last general will know the severity, my wolf department is subordinate to the lord, and I should serve the lord and serve the dogs and horses, how can I take care of my own gains and losses, and at most, I will only temporarily lose Qiangdao City, we will take it back!" ”

"It's good that you can think so!"

Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down, let Min Wu sit down, and said, "You tell me, the current formation, strength, military training, and equipment of the wolf battalion!" ”

"No!"

Min Wu nodded.

He began to talk to Mu Jing in detail, and told Mu Jing about the strength of the wolf camp.

The strength of the Wolf Battalion was not very strong at the beginning, after all, the Wolf Tribe suffered from civil strife and suffered serious losses from the young and strong, but after the Qiang Dao City began to develop, it became the largest market in the Qiang Border, and also took in many wandering small tribes of the Qiang tribe.

The young men began to collide.

And when Min Wu gradually controlled the various tribes of the Wolf Division, it was much easier to recruit young people.

Now the strength of the wolf battalion is still above the battle tiger battalion.

Eight thousand soldiers.

All are Qiang warriors, but it is used for the training method of the Han army, the Qiang people's individual combat effectiveness, but the collective combat effectiveness is weak, in order to change this shortcoming, Min Wu also invited the officers of the War Tiger Battalion three times to participate in the training of the wolf battalion.

The officer of the Zhan Tiger Battalion, but the hard work of Lei Hu's family, the student of the two sessions of the Wubei Hall, he took at least one-third of the command under his command, and his battalion is definitely an officer from an authentic professional class, and the ordinary level is slightly lower than the officer level of each army.

Therefore, the strength of the military formation of the wolf battalion has also been greatly improved.

The last one is equipment.

Now the equipment configuration of the wolf battalion is also provided from the Ming Yi workshop, but it should be the last supply, so it is slightly lost to the tiger battalion, this loss, is lost in the armor, the general soldiers are grass armor, after all, the consumption of iron armor is too great, only equipped with elite soldiers and officer level.

But the grass armor is not the same, some of the weaves are denser, the defense is a little stronger, and there will be a heart guard on the chest, which is the biggest effect.

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said, "I'll give the Wolf Camp another fifty five-bead crossbows, this is the only thing I can do!" ”

"Five-beaded crossbow?"

Min Wu was overjoyed.

He had only seen that thing in the hands of the guards of the War Tiger Battalion, and there were not even a few of the War Tiger Battalion, and the lethality was so strong that it was simply a strafing shot, and a thirty-step charge could sweep people away one by one.

"Thank you, my lord!" Min Wu immediately said with gratitude.

"Thank me, show it with action!"

Mu Jing said softly: "After I go back, give me strong training to participate in the wolf camp, I pin my hopes on you, if you disappoint me, then I really don't have such a good talk!" ”

"Don't worry, when it comes to fighting, I will join the wolf warriors and never retreat!"

Min Wu also knows that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"In addition, there is still something for you to come to Nanzheng this time, and I need to talk to you!" Mu Jing said softly: "Everyone under the Minghou Mansion is treated equally, the Ginseng Wolf Department is willing to go out of the mountain, then there will also be a distribution of fields, food, after all, it is only after cultivation, and the Ginseng Wolf Department may also have to adapt to such a life!" ”

"I understand!"

Min Wu nodded: "The Wolf Ministry can't just rely on the food sent by the Ming Marquis Mansion to save lives, we have to be self-sufficient!" ”

…………………………………………

……

For several days, Mu Jingdu summoned Min Wu into Zhaoming Hall, he was true to Min Wu, first, Min Wu is capable, and second, Min Wu is a good spokesperson for the Qiang tribe, such a person, if used well, will be his hope to unify the Qiang tribe.

For this reason, Mu Jing also went to the south study in person, and selected some talents for Min Wu in the south study, and asked these people to follow Min Wu back to appease the livelihood of the wolf department.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mu Jing personally sent Min Wu out of Nanzheng.

"You seem to have a lot of hope in him?" Xi Zhicai returned to Nanzheng on the thirteenth day of the first month, he stood beside Mu Jing, and the two bid farewell to Min Wu in Shili Pavilion.

"Talent is rare!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "I naturally have to hurry up!" ”

"If you want to talk about talents, there are so many talents in Hanzhong, I don't see you have such a serious heart!" Xi Zhicai didn't think about this, he asked: "Do you have other plans on your body!" ”

"You're thinking too much!"

Mu Jing pouted: "What I appreciate is not only his ability, but also his heart of great integration, he can abandon the contradictions between the races, this is the rarest, this is what ordinary people can't do, you can't do it, Kong Ming can't do it, what he can bring me is not just a wolf department, but the entire Qiang tribe!" ”

"The Heart of the Great Fusion?"

It's the first time I've heard this word.

"Some people can't be killed, such as the Huns, and then Xianbei!" Mu Jing said softly: "The nomadic nation will always be there, that land, there will be people who adapt to that land, even if the Xiongnu decline, there is no Xianbei, Xianbei has declined, and there will be other nations rising, so if you want to recover them, power deterrence is one thing, the most important thing is to integrate them in, when they become our own people, then everything becomes a matter of course!" ”

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"This makes sense, but it can't be too absolute!" Mu Jing shook his head, if it was really not my race, if his heart would be different, there would be no harmonious life of more than fifty ethnic groups in the Great Heavenly Empire in the future.

He thought for a while and said: "Zhicai, in fact, how to deal with them is a craft, and being strong is to be absolutely strong, but in some areas, we have to open up the policy and let them in. ”

"When you say that, I feel that there is some truth in it!"

Xi Zhicai figured out Mu Jing's sentence for a while, and suddenly began to think about this proposition, but such a proposition will not have results overnight, and will be confirmed over time.

When they left Shili Pavilion, they did not return directly to the Minghou Mansion, but walked along the Hanshui and inspected the economy of the Hanshui.

"In two years, this Han water has become lively!"

Xi Zhicai was a little emotional: "When we first came in, there weren't so many merchant ships on it, they were all cold and lonely, or they were warships, and the blood flowed like a river when they fought, but there was such a scene!" ”

"The river has not been opened yet, but after some time, the river will be opened, and that is called prosperity, and the times will progress!"

Mu Jing said proudly: "At the beginning, the Five Bucket Rice Sect covered Hanzhong, but now, who still believes in the Five Bucket Rice Sect, and the Five Bucket Rice Sect and joins the Sect, it is better to take it as a grain seed, who will use it to join the Sect!" ”

At the beginning, Hanzhong was backward and poor, and the people were hungry, but whenever there was a disaster, it would collapse immediately, and the Wudoumi Sect took the opportunity to rise up and gather the followers, which was nothing more than to give them an ethereal theism as hope.

But now, Hanzhong is developing farmland, reclaiming wasteland, planting agriculture, and vigorously supporting, so that everyone can have enough to eat, even if it is a snowstorm last year, it will not make people starve to death, which is the real hope.

The people are simple, they have their own eyes, they can see, they can feel, they can have their own judgment.

This is the will of the people.

"You are really worthy of the people of Hanzhong!" Xi Zhicai said an honest word.

"I didn't ask you before, let's talk about it now, there must be something wrong with rushing back in such a hurry!"

"Hmm!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I have calculated a strategic deployment plan, which requires your approval, so I will come back in person, and it is not the beginning of spring yet, and it is not yet the time for the battle to come, but I have time, and I will also change it back to report the battle situation of the next year!" ”

"Go back!"

Mu Jing turned over his horse and went straight to Zhaoming Hall.

Xi Zhicai also turned on his horse and ran with Mu Jing.

Back to the Minghou Mansion, he handed over the war horse and the horse whip to the deputy, and went straight into the Zhaoming Hall.

Mu Jing sat down, someone next to him had already brought hot tea, he took a sip, moistened the coldness of his body, and then said: "Last year's fight was good, and then we should follow Yizhou to fight, where they fight, we will fight!" ”

"No!"

Xi Zhicai also sat down, rolled the teacup with both hands, and used the temperature of the teacup to dispel the coldness in his hands: "Recently, I put down the scouts and put them all on the Yangtze River, the strange thing is that Zhang Ren's troops are deployed!" ”

"What's wrong?" Mu Jing asked.

"He transferred the soldiers and horses deployed with Yan Yan!" Xi Zhicai took out a map of the deployment of troops and said.

"It doesn't mean anything!"

"Says a lot of things!"

Xi Zhicai glanced at this layman who didn't know how to read the troop deployment map, and said: "Yan Yan's Bajun soldiers are placed in the front position, that is to resist the main force of Jingzhou, but the main force of Yizhou is the Dongzhou soldiers, and he turned the troops to the south, why?" ”

"Wuling?"

Mu Jing looked at it and muttered to himself.

"Hmm!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, this lord was still saved, he was quite relieved, he said in a deep voice: "I suspect that Zhang Ren is going to go down to Wuling first, before attacking Nanjun, maybe after he takes Wuling, he needs to attack Nanjun at all, go directly to Changsha, and take half of Jingzhou!" ”

"Isn't that selling us?"

Mu Jing took the case: "He dares!" ”

"Yizhou is not to the point where he doesn't dare to offend us!" Xi Zhicai said softly: "If we can mention that they can carry the main force of Jingzhou and lose both of Jingzhou, it is definitely the result they are willing to see!" ”

"Aren't they afraid that I will withdraw my troops?"

Mu Jing drank coldly.

"There should be some concerns!" Xi Zhicai thought for a while: "So if my guess is correct, before the beginning of spring, they will send someone to discuss, and they will ventilate us in advance, so that we don't know anything!" ”

"I look stupid!"

Mu Jing sneered: "I will promise to block the gun for them?" “

"What if they're willing to pay the price?"

"At what cost?"

"It depends on their determination at any cost!" Xi Zhicai said: "If Yizhou decides to be so big, I'm afraid we really can't oppose it, nominally speaking, Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, and in addition, Yizhou is also sure that we will not turn our faces!" ”

"This Liu Yan is really a little wilted!" Mu Jing paced back and forth, he could turn his face, but it was not Liu Yan who was scattered in one shot or two, but himself, he did so much and cooperated with Yizhou to fight, why, isn't it just to consume Yizhou in Jingzhou.

Now the main force of Yizhou has not completely gone out.

Liu Yan didn't completely remove his vigilance.

He couldn't move troops against Yizhou at all.

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Cooperate!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Cooperation?" Mu Jing's eyes burst out with a sharp light, wanting to penetrate Xi Zhicai's body.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"Even if I dispatch all the main forces of the pastoral army, I may not be able to stop it!" Mu Jing said fiercely.

"I'll stop it, you do your thing!"

Xi Zhicai said softly.

Mu Jing was silent, his plan, only Xi Zhi can see through it, even Hu Zhao, it is just a hazy feeling, some things, can not be said too clearly, but smart people will cooperate.

Xi Zhicai has been cooperating with her.

"If you want to play, just play a big one!"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, made a decision, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said, "Do you have a chance to block the front line?" ”

"Believe me, with Huang Zhong's bravery, plus my ability, and the battle of our pastoral army, I am ready to pull Nanyang into the battle, I can stop it!"

Xi Zhicai is confident.

"Good!"

Mu Jing shouted: "You are blocking the front line, I will personally enter Shu, success or failure in one fell swoop!" ”
