In the wilderness and wilderness outside Chang'an City, tens of thousands of military tents were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

Countless sergeants walked back and forth through the military tents, like worker ants, carrying military supplies day and night, making final preparations for the army to be launched.

As the sun sank, smoke and campfires slowly rose.

The sparkling fires suddenly joined together, and from a distance, it was as if the stars in the sky had been moved to the mortal world.

Located in the center of the entire military array, is a majestic treasure tent surrounded by more than 100 guard regiments, which is the military tent of Zhou Xin, the governor of Shu, and also the place where many generals' staff carry out military discussions.

At this time, in the tent, the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Xin was wearing a battle armor, sitting behind a simple case, he quietly stared at a marching map in front of the case, and his body exuded awe-inspiring majesty at all times.

Although the old marshal said that he was old, he did not see the twilight at all, even if he was wearing heavy armor, he did not have any hard look, but was extremely energetic, especially the pair of tiger eyes he stared at the map were even more brilliant, and others would not dare to look at him.

At this moment, under Zhou Xin's hands, there were two generals, Liu Long and Fei Deng, the king of Qinghe, who supervised the army, as well as dozens of large and small deputy generals who joined the army.

Everyone looked solemn and didn't say a word, and together with Zhou Xin, they set their eyes on the huge map spread in the center of the tent.

After a while, under the announcement of the deputy general on Zhou Xin's side, this military discussion related to the entire strategy of cutting down Shu officially kicked off.

The two generals who were in charge of escorting the military rations and grass were the first to come out and began to give a detailed introduction to the current logistical preparations of the army.

In fact, this information is sent to the cases of various generals every day, and it is just a routine matter to take them out again and sort them out again.

They talked endlessly for about a moment, and the core essence of this was nothing more than that the army was now full of food and grass, and the armament was complete, and it was ready to go.

After the two finished speaking, they sat down again, and the old general Zhou Xin nodded to them first, then got up and hugged his fists at everyone in the tent, and said in a deep voice:

"Lord, generals, this time this marshal is entrusted by His Majesty to lead the army to attack Shu, only by succeeding in a battle and recapturing the territory of our Great Wei can we live up to Your Majesty's expectations! All of you present have received the grace of the country, and this time you will join hands with this commander to fight against the rebellion, and in the future, you should work together and work together! In this way, we can repay Your Majesty's grace in case of emergency! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone also got up and clasped their fists and bowed their hands, and responded in unison:

"No!"

Zhou Xin sat back in his seat with satisfaction, and then glanced lightly at me who was standing solemnly on the side, and said aloud to everyone again:

"Everyone, please sit down, now that our army is waiting for us, we will set out to fight the thieves in the near future, and I have summoned you to come to the military today to discuss the existing information and discuss a strategy for marching together. Counselor Xu, you have been in charge of compiling the enemy's intelligence in the past few days, so it is up to you to introduce the military situation to the prince and the generals. ”

Seeing that the old marshal asked me to state the military situation by name, I hurriedly answered with a loud voice, saluted everyone, and then walked quickly to the military map, pointed my finger at one of the maps, and said:

"Lord Wang, generals, please see, this time our army set out from Chang'an to march to Longyou, the primary goal is to conquer Chencang City, this is to completely open the Longyou portal, and the second is to clear the enemy's forces rooted in Guanzhong, so as to protect our army's grain route. According to the information from the scouts earlier, there were more than 10,000 defenders in Chencang City, and during the assembly of our army, the enemy drew 10,000 defenders from the counties in Shuzhong, so that Chencang City had 20,000 defenders, most of whom were veterans in Shu, and they were also one of the few elites in Shu. Garrisoned in Chencang is the Fubo general Song Mi, this person has rich experience in commanding troops, has led the army to attack and harass our Guanzhong Zhucheng many times, and is known as a prestige in Shu, which cannot be underestimated. In addition, there is also intelligence that a few days ago, Jiang Hui, the governor of Shu State, personally went to Chencang City to work the army, and for a while, the crowd in the city was excited, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, so that the secret agents planted by our army in the city were unfortunately exposed. Today's Chencang City can be said to have a solid city defense, and the situation is quite unfavorable to our army. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the old marshal suddenly looked straight, and then I continued to say sharply to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time my army is attacking Shu, in order to achieve a quick victory, before leaving, the marshal issued a military order in front of His Majesty, recover Longyou within five months, and return to the court! Therefore, the first battle of Chencang is related to the morale of both the enemy and our troops, and we must quickly take this city in one go! ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Liu Long, the king of Qinghe, who had been watching quietly with a smile on his face, the rest of the people whispered one after another.

They were originally quite confident in attacking Chencang, but when they heard the old marshal say that they would recover Longyou within May, they suddenly felt that the time was too urgent, and the situation in front of them became grim.

I secretly raised my eyes to observe everyone's reactions, and soon my eyes fell on Liu Long, the king of Qinghe, who was speechless.

This person is about forty years old, his facial features are strong and hard, and his eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor today.

At this moment, seeing that the discussion in the military tent was becoming more and more intense, His Royal Highness the noble prince was still slowly sipping tea, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and he was completely immersed in his own world.

After observing his demeanor and demeanor for a moment, I couldn't help but admire the five bodies of our Emperor and His Majesty.

You must know that the position of supervising the army is equivalent to the eyes and ears of the emperor himself in the army, and his status is second only to the commander of the army, and even at some times they can use the prestige of the imperial power to influence the will of the commander.

Therefore, there are many examples in the history books of the supervising army commanding the army indiscriminately by virtue of their positions, resulting in the failure of the battle.

Therefore, whenever the emperor chooses a candidate to supervise the army, in addition to choosing a person he absolutely trusts, he must also consider whether this person will cause chaos in the army, so as to avoid a comical farce of a layman commanding an insider.

And the His Royal Highness the King of Qinghe in front of him seems to be a lazy style that has nothing to do with himself, but in fact, he is in the best state as a prison army!

However, it is not enough to just pretend to be stupid after all, the role of the supervising army is not only to take care of the main generals outside on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but also to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

After all, there are still generals at the bottom to boost morale, and at the level of commanders and generals, who can do their ideological work?

As I was thinking this, the chatter in the tent suddenly stopped, and everyone around seemed to be very silent, which caused the originally warm atmosphere to suddenly become a little solemn.

At this time, a partial general who had been sitting under Fei Zhen suddenly stood up, he bowed deeply to the old marshal, and said softly with hesitation:

"Qi Yu Metropolitan Governor, the last general was stationed in Xiangyang, and the Shu army has also dealt with several times, I heard that although Jiang Hui, the governor of Shu State, is young, but he is well versed in the art of war, known as Jiang Boyo's reputation in the world, it is indeed not to be underestimated. And this Chen Cangcheng is now impregnable, I'm afraid that a rash attack will ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Zhen beside him immediately slapped the armrest of the seat, got up and scolded angrily:

"Shut up! Shall you speak before the governor? Come! This person disturbed the morale of the army and dragged him down to fight for thirty! ”

Fei Zhen, as the commander of the cavalry, has a temperament like fire, although the person who spoke is not the old department he brought from Julu, but it is currently under his jurisdiction, the old marshal of the front foot just said that he made a military order, and his subordinates on the back foot questioned it, which is equivalent to slapping himself in front of the old marshal, if the old marshal really wants to blame it, he can easily be punished for a crime of lax management of the army, how can this situation not make him feel angry?

And the old marshal was still motionless at this time, sitting firmly behind the big case, he waved his hand lightly, waved away the two guards who were about to come up to get people, and turned his head to Fei Zhen and said in a deep voice:

"General Fei, there is no need for this, everyone can express their opinions directly during the military discussion, and what he just said is also a righteous word."

Since the old marshal spoke, Fei Zhen had nothing to say, and reprimanded the man a few more words, and then sat down again.

I only felt a little funny in my heart when I looked at this scene, and the secret general was too pedantic, it was human nature that he had concerns in his heart, but he should never say it directly in front of everyone, you must know that on the eve of the war, the stability of the army's heart is the most important thing.

No, although he was stopped by Fei Zhen before he finished speaking, I could still observe that some of the generals present had begun to nod their heads secretly, obviously deeply concerned by that person's argument.

At this time, my heart suddenly moved, and my heart said that this kind of occasion is simply the best time for our prison prince to perform, so I hurriedly turned my attention to King Qinghe again, wanting to see if he was as wise and foolish as I expected.

Sure enough, after the idle prince noticed the abnormality in the tent, he was unusual, put down the teacup in his hand for the first time, and asked with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has something unclear about, and I would like to ask the generals to answer it on my behalf. This king heard that Jiang Hui, the governor of Shu State, was only thirty years old, and he had no outstanding military exploits, how could he make the princes present so fearful? Could it be that he is really as rumored, is that Shu Han Jiang Boyo alive, the unicorn in the sky? It's amazing! ”

Liu Long smiled brightly when he said this, his expression was as ignorant as a child, and he looked quite yin and yang.

Everyone present is a fierce general who has been on the battlefield for many years, how could they be willing to be so ridiculed by a pampered prince?

Even if his status is noble, everyone can't refute it in person, but he is also quite indignant in his heart, so as soon as his words fell, the military tent continued to snort coldly, and everyone's chests rose and fell violently, obviously extremely indignant.

I secretly gave a thumbs up in my heart, good guy, this prince is simply a god, a set of radical generals, especially his smiling face at this time, it is really said that there is a lot of underplay, not to mention these rough guys, even I want to give him a slap, it can really be described as a "gold medal supervisor".......
