Guo Peng, who had penetrated Yonghong's psychology, took a deep breath and buried his monstrous anger deep in his heart.

It is true that now is not the time for a full-scale attack on the four southern and central counties.

If you really want to fight, you will definitely fight down, and at all costs, Yonghong will eventually be crushed by Guo Peng.

But the cost is too great.

The elite of the Wei army spent the rest of their lives in a hundred battles, and each of them was trained by Guo Peng at a large cost, and Guo Peng was reluctant to let them die innocently because of his anger.

Because of the climate, because of logistics, because of the unfamiliar geographical environment, he died without even seeing the face of the southern barbarians, and he died if he couldn't play his skills, which was too unworthy.

The elite of the Wei army should not have died for such a thing.

Their lives are far more valuable than Yonghong's.

According to the performance of Wu Yi and others, the battle of the barbarians in Nanzhong was not as strong as Guo Peng imagined.

The so-called good war means that under a specific geographical environment and with the help of geographical advantages, they can achieve their expected goals very well.

But that doesn't mean their tactics and combat effectiveness are really good.

One by one, no matter how powerful they are, in the face of the elite of the Wei army that formed a military formation, they are also here to send their heads.

Especially in terms of weapons and equipment, they can be said to be not worth mentioning.

If we can find a way to improve the disadvantages in transportation and keep up with the logistics, then everything will be solved.

This is one of them.

Then there's the terrible miasma and the dense primeval jungle.

The unfamiliar geography and environment of these northern armies would be a huge obstacle to the advance of the Wei army.

This will cause a terrible contagion, so that the Central Plains army will lose its combat effectiveness before the battle.

Obviously, Yonghong thinks that this is his greatest reliance.

Even if the Wei Empire had a million troops, the army that could guarantee the logistical supply capacity was only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and if one of them contracted the epidemic, it would not be enough to pose much threat to him.

I think that when the Fubo general Ma Yuan led tens of thousands of troops to fight here, he died in the harsh environment of Nanzhong.

Emperor Guangwu can't help Nanzhong, what can you Guo Zifeng do?

Yonghong was very confident in this, and he once provoked Manchu in a letter, saying that he was willing to raise 100,000 troops and Manchu would hunt in Chengdu, and invite Manchu to barbecue in Chengdu at the head of Chengdu at that time.

He also boasted that his barbecue skills were very good, and he would personally sit in the east when the time came, ensuring that the full pet was full.

The letter turned his face reddened, and he almost didn't order his messenger to be cut down to vent his anger.

But this is also enough to prove the appeal of the Yong clan in Nanzhong and its influence on the barbarians, which is something that both Man Chong and Guo have to consider.

The road has not yet been repaired, and if you force a war at this time, you can win, but the loss will be too great.

Once the losses were too large, the Wei army was unable to succeed, and it was difficult to occupy and develop the four southern and central counties.

Guo has always fought wars to make money and profits, in order to develop construction and collect taxes, and to build counties and counties, not the kind of model of fighting once and leaving.

After thinking about it, Guo still let Man Pet take it seriously, try to deal with it as much as possible, whether it is false or wronged, even coax and deceive, stabilize him, and don't fight for the time being.

If you want to fight, you have to kill him in one breath, and you can't give him a chance to breathe.

If you want to swallow it, you have to swallow all the four counties in Nanzhong in one go, and then slowly govern it.

The governor of Nanzhong can give it, but let him be honest and not allow him to move.

And you can't give it in one go, you have to give it slowly, give in little by little, and slowly grind with him, consuming his energy and time.

Then step up the construction of roads, step up the stockpiling of grain, and step up preparations for war.

If he wants to provoke after gaining benefits, then he will resolutely fight back, and he must not feel that the central government is weak and can be bullied, so that he will gain an inch and ask for more rewards.

Man Pet got Guo Peng's instructions, so he thought of countermeasures.

On the one hand, he sent people to constantly negotiate with Yonghong, perfunctory Yonghong, and then slowly gave in, so that Yonghong was constantly satisfied, so as to rest on his laurels.

While he began to cooperate with Lejin to prepare for the matter of entering Nanzhong.

Arrangements should be made for the roads to be built, for the grain to be transported, and for the troops that should arrive in the local area for strategic preparations.

According to the spirit of Guo Peng's instructions, it is necessary to prepare in advance for war, and it is not appropriate to wait for war to be imminent before making preparations.

So the full pet has been preparing for a long time.

Some time ago, Man Pet often led people to run around the road construction site, investigating and checking the progress of road repair and the quality of the project back and forth, repeatedly reading out the policy, and alerting the grassroots officials.

In order to further supervise the quality of the project and speed up the progress of the project, after obtaining the approval of Guo Peng, Lejin mobilized 30,000 troops to join the road construction team, and built the road together with prisoners of war and slaves and local people, and also assumed the responsibility of public security management in peacetime.

Lejin himself is also a person who does not live very well.

Once full of pets went out to inspect, he actually met Lejin who was carrying a burden on the construction site bare-chested.

Full of pets and Lejin get along relatively happily.

They usually have a lot of official contacts, and they are familiar with each other when they come and go.

Lejin commanded the war on the front line, and Manzhong sent him logistics materials in a very timely and efficient manner, and there was never a shortage.

This makes Lejin very fond of cooperating with full pets.

Although the nickname of [Black-faced Manfujun] in the capital has not been taken off by Manchu for many years, the miserable past of Cao Hong's whole time is also talked about by people.

But Lejin doesn't think it's bad to be full of favors.

Anyway, the relationship between Lejin and Cao's is not very good.

In the early years, when Le Jin and Cao Hong were both charging under Guo Peng, they had trouble with Cao Hong because of some military exploits.

After that, Le Jin fought under Cao Ren for a time, but was soon promoted by Guo Peng to lead an army alone, directly under Guo Peng.

Therefore, Le Jin didn't feel that he was worse than the relatives of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan.

Le Jin was very dissatisfied with the fact that the generals of the Cao clan were popular in the army.

Especially for Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, he was not satisfied.

He didn't have a very good feeling about these two young Cao generals who were quickly promoted at a young age and without much brilliance.

When Cao Chun fought under his men before, although Cao Chun was brave, Le Jin didn't think that Cao Chun's bravery could afford Guo Peng's promotion of him.

When these people were fighting with their heads under Guo Peng's command, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were still being good babies under Guo Peng's protection!

How old is this to do such a high military position?

But I grew up with Guo Peng since I was a child, and I just got the light of the queen.

After all, trust is just that, are they really capable of such a position?

Lejin was skeptical.

If you want to say that the Cao family and the Xiahou clan are really worthy of Lejin's different eyes, there is only one Cao Ren, including Xiahou Yuan, the generals of the Cao family and Xiahou clan are nothing in the eyes of Lejin.

Cao Ren is the number one general under Guo Peng, no one will question it, others ......

Forget it.

Especially Le Jin and Cao Hong had some unpleasantness, and he was also unaccustomed to Cao Hong's arrogance, so when he was full of favor and severely punished Cao Hong, he still had a feeling of schadenfreude.

Manzhong's identity is more special, his wife is the daughter of the Guo royal family, and Manzhong himself is also a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is deeply trusted by Guo Peng.

So Lejin thinks that full pet is a good communication partner.

At the level of personal relations outside of official business, Lejin is very willing to associate with full pets.

Full Pet first saw Lejin.

Seeing that Le Jin was carrying the burden to the outside, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"General Wen Qian personally picked the soil to work, which can be described as a model of understanding the people's suffering, and I want to pay tribute to General Wen Qian."

When Le Jin turned around and saw Man Pet standing in front of him in coarse cloth clothes and dirty shoes, he immediately laughed.

"Don't fight for the time being, it's idle to be idle, it's better to come to the construction site to find something to do, or to know the progress of the project nearby, it's nothing, but Berning is running around, this clothes and shoes are so dirty and don't change, it's also a model for officials!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After that, Le Jin put down the work in his hand and sat down with Man Pet and drank a bowl of water.

"It is estimated that this road will be preliminarily completed in more than half a year, and it will be repaired to Yuewang County and Qiqi County, and then connected to Zhuti County, but if you want to continue to the south, it is not easy to do so, and it is estimated that it will stop at Zhuti County.

If we continue to the south, I am afraid that it will be after the south is completely pacified, otherwise we do not have the conditions to build the road, and if we build it here, it will be destroyed there, and it will be impossible to prevent it, so the road behind us is estimated to have to go by ourselves. ”

Full of pets gave Le Jin a thorough understanding of this road construction plan.

Lejin took a breath and looked to the south.

"It's not a big problem, as long as you can transport the army and baggage, you won't have to be so tired after that, and if you can get to Juti County, it will be a big problem."

After a pause, Le Jin spoke again.

"When His Majesty asked me to attack the four counties of Jingnan before, I knew that His Majesty would definitely not let go of the four counties of Nanzhong, but the four counties of Jingnan are different from the four counties of Nanzhong, the roads of the four counties of Jingnan are much easier than the four counties of Nanzhong, and the number of Han people is also large, and the four counties of Nanzhong are ...... I'm afraid I'm going to use Zhang Wenyuan's method. ”

Full Pet nodded.

"Your Majesty issued an edict before, and asked me to pay special attention to reminding you of the problem of miasma in the four counties of Nanzhong, saying that miasma is not the cause of the natural production of poisonous gas in Nanzhong, but the humid and hot environment in the south is prone to mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes themselves are very small, and there are many of them, and they look like black miasma from a distance, and they are poisonous, and they will make people sick after biting, so the army should have more wormwood. ”

"Your Majesty knows too many things."

Le Jin poured another big sip of water and said with a smile: "Whether it is a trebuchet, a sky-shaking thunder, or a horseshoe, all of them are equipped by His Majesty to the army, and now our army is invincible by relying on these things."

Seriously, Berning, there are times when I think that the army can win a battle without me, and I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks so, or if everyone does. ”

"Your Majesty will prepare the foundation for winning the battle for you before the war, if you can't win the battle in this way, it can only mean that you have your own problems."

Man Zhong never turned around when he spoke: "Your Majesty's ability to know the army today is far above the generals, if it weren't for Your Majesty's ability to govern the country's affairs in the capital, Your Majesty will be like a thin piece of paper, and the four counties in Nanzhong will be torn apart by Your Majesty in an instant." ”

Man Zhong has full trust in Guo Peng's military ability, and has no doubt that Guo Peng will take any detours in the military.
