Jingshi, Luoyang. Barracks in the eastern suburbs.

"The weather is so cold, and I have to go on an expedition, and the New Year is coming soon. Really, I don't know what the above thinks. An old soldier sat by the fire and complained. Looking at the soldiers around them, most of them were listless, and in their opinion, they had suffered too much.

"yes, I can't get through it anymore. Damn it, you have to serve in forced labor again. My eldest brother also came out. There are only my sister and sister-in-law at home. this day. Alas. A man in his twenties said. They were worried, but the army went out on the march, the order to go north. Or let them take it. Morale is extremely low.

"Hey. The food is not good either. Two porridges a day. If you walk thirty miles a day. Hungry to death. Another soldier said. But there was nothing they could do, the price of food continued to rise, and a large amount of food went to the Republican Army. Naturally, they have no food to eat. Military rations were also not very sufficient. Because many captains, officers, and even generals are reselling military rations, only the descendants of the descendants can replenish the complete military rations, and they are cannon fodder, naturally, they will not give them to them.

"Hee-hee-hee-so-so." Not far away, several soldiers whispered something about something. The veteran looked at the same, and then had nothing to do with the fire. He knew what the soldiers were doing, deserters, and if the army went north, they would start to be deserters while they were on the march, but some people had already started doing it. Outside the camp gate, there were some people's heads. Those are deserters. The attitude of the generals towards these deserters was extremely harsh. Beheading. Definitely won't give them a second chance to do something like this.

The general's mobilization of troops was still slow, Jian Shuo urged several times, but there was still no result, and the worst thing was that the morale was extremely low, and there were quite a lot of complaints. Desertions continue to occur, and it seems that everything is developing in an extremely uncontrollable direction, what will be the result if such a situation continues to develop? They themselves don't know that in such a situation, their difficulty will be more costly.

Cao Cao knew all of this, but the people above didn't pay much attention to them. This, they argued, did not matter in the slightest.

"The Republican Army is now divided into the Handan Party and the Hedong Party. If we can take advantage of it, it will probably be very beneficial to us. "In such a situation, their situation seems to be even more favorable. Xi Zhicai said.

"I don't think so, it's hard for us to say that this is the case. A lot of things will exceed our expectations. Cao Cao said.

"On the surface, the IRA is divided into two factions, but they are still one inside, and you can't open such a gap, and you can't take some of these places under such circumstances. We want to accomplish something like this. You can't start from this direction. Cao Cao shook his head and said.

Yes, on the surface, Hedong and Handan have formed two old and different power systems within the Republican Army, and the eastern ones look down on Hedong, and Hedong looks down on those people in Handan, which is entirely due to their different interests and starting points. However, once it is squeezed by external forces. Instead, they quickly form a new group. Because their interests are essentially the same, many of their things will become much more advantageous in such a situation. In order to accomplish something like this, it has to be extremely advantageous to do so. It's hard to accomplish something like this.

"In this case, there is no chance of winning." Xi Zhicai thought about it and said helplessly. He was very unoptimistic about the prospect of the army going north, although Cao Cao said that he might not go on an expedition, but this possibility would still exist.

Cao Cao was silent. He wondered how the next thing would happen. The general is still dragging his feet. And for good reason, the dispatch of troops may be just after the New Year.

In a cloth village in Luoyang City. The shopkeeper is constantly writing and drawing, and it seems that the shopkeeper is settling accounts. The guy is also busy.

This may seem normal, but in fact, it's an IRA intelligence point. The chief of the treasury is a deputy intelligence station chief of the IRA Intelligence Department at the Luoyang station.

He pondered the question of why there was no news from the palace, because his men had told him that the army outside the city seemed to be showing signs of marching. But there is still no definite news from the palace. He was anxious about whether this information was accurate, or whether it could be supported by favorable information.

But being in a hurry doesn't have any effect. The reason is that, in many cases, they still need to complete quite a bit of military posture before they can complete some of these situations. In such a situation, it is really difficult for them to accomplish such situations.

The shopkeeper's concern is justified.

When the external intelligence continued to show that the imperial army could be mobilized to go on the expedition, there was no intelligence reaction in the palace. This was a big surprise to them. This kind of intelligence seems to be making their intelligence show where the oil is wrong. If such information were uploaded, would it cause an unnecessary reaction? The shopkeeper is in calm thinking.

But the real problem is that Firefox has no way to get new and accurate information to provide to the IRA.

"I don't know what's wrong? Recently, there seem to be fewer people chewing tongues in the uterus. The interior looks very harsh. Firefox thought as he bit the tip of his brush. Because she can't write anything about intelligence right now. It's too hard. It is precisely for some reasons such and such that Firefox is unable to provide some information in the relevant palace to corroborate. Everything seems to be in a state of mystery.

In Hedong, in Ma Heng's headquarters, the staff officers were nervously sorting out some documents. And Ma Heng was explaining some things to the combat staff officer.

"There will be an exercise in the north, and the above will temporarily strengthen the strength of two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion in the north, and their purpose is not to conduct a simple military exercise, but to cooperate with an intelligence operation of the intelligence department." Ma Heng said. Saying that, Ma Heng handed over the relevant information to the operational staff officer. The authority of some intelligence can only be read by the commander and the chief of staff, and most of the operational staff officers are responsible for specific operational intelligence matters, so for them, some things are still relatively difficult and unfavorable, and this comes from the limitations of intelligence.

Therefore, when the commander leaves, it is important to delegate some of these intelligence powers to the operational staff officers. The chief of staff will also follow the commander away, because the two senior commanders will return to Lijiazhuang for a strategic analysis meeting.

The new situation is constantly changing, and there are some things that are becoming extremely difficult, and one of the most important nodes is that many of them are changing, and the changes in intelligence, and other senses are causing changes in the new state, and in this case, it is really very difficult to control to accomplish such things.

"What we want to prevent is that the Wuhuan people will violate the agreement between us, the intelligence says that we will pay 150,000 yuan to control Yanmen, an important strategic location, once the Wuhuan people reach such an agreement, our situation will become extremely favorable, and the troops participating in the exercise need to quickly fill in and level our defense line. At the same time, we have to deal with the treachery of the Wuhuan people and give the other party severe punishment. The most important thing is that the deterrence before the start of the war makes them dare not act rashly. This is an important condition that is extremely advantageous for us. Ma Heng said.

The combat staff officer nodded in understanding. As for how to do it, they still need to do some serious research, because a lot of things are expanding into other aspects of them. That's some of the situations that they have to prepare for at the moment, because only then can they become much more advantageous, and the current situation is some of the things that they need to do.

"We all understand this." The combat staff recorded this.

"Well, as for the rest, we just need to be on the defensive. However, the strength is still very tight, and the situation with our reserves is not very optimistic. Perhaps these problems can only be improved to a greater extent after the end of the meeting. Ma Heng said.

"Well, maybe in that case, our situation will turn out to be favorable." So said the operational staff officer. But this can only happen after a new strategic adjustment. It doesn't seem very possible at the moment.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"How to digest our newly occupied areas, and how to level our favorable fronts, and adopt peaceful, moderate, and other non-war means is the next important measure, which is a transitional stage, and only when we grasp such a transitional stage peacefully can we put our situation in an extremely favorable situation." Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu took a charcoal pen on the side and recorded it, the charcoal record speed is very fast, and there are more and more documents of the Republican Army, although the use of faults is very good, but the problem is that the speed problem is too slow, and they need to solve such a series of problems in the fastest way.

"Well, in this way, we are in a favorable situation in some situations like this." Jia Xu said.

"Our financial advantage, our trade advantage, our advantage in the threat of force, and most importantly, we just need to provide some favorable posture to turn some of these outcomes into favorable ones." Jia Xu added.

"That's right, that's the most important thing for us, and we don't need to do much about the rest for the time being." Shang Wu said.
