Li Jiazhuang, War Department. Jia Xu handed Shang Wu a letter.

"Whose is this? I don't know anyone, huh? Shang Wu was very surprised, what he said was indeed very strange, he really didn't know anyone here.

"Cao Cao's was transferred from our intelligence officers, and this is to prevent an unfavorable situation for Cao Cao." Jia Xu said.

"You can read it." Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded and said. In this way, Shangwu is not surprised at all. Because such a situation is indeed a situation for which he should be prepared.

"What the letter says is that let us be careful about the small actions of Luoyang in the south, and at the same time, he also wrote some of his methods about trying military reform, but it did not work, and there were many difficulties in the issue of military funds, and the problem of just a military uniform stumped him. It can be seen that his military reform was not so smooth, Cao Cao basically gave up such a thing, he felt, or planned to start with political reform, he hoped that the imperial court could carry out more bold reforms. Shang Wu said.

He also said some of his plans. Here's what it's up with. Shang Wu said and handed the letter to Jia Xu.

He hoped that through the general, he could control the situation in the imperial court and carry out reforms. In this way, his advantages may be better, and such a situation can be said to be very favorable for him. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu quickly looked at the letter, Cao Cao wrote a lot of things, and these can understand some of the dynamics of the imperial court from the side, Jia Xu can often judge the changes in the larger situation from the details, he is a very sensitive person. And he is good at doing this, so to speak, this is a very smart person, and he has wisdom.

"Their reform is naturally more difficult, and in such a situation, Cao Cao turned to political reform to seek a solution, I think, this is also an extremely helpless move." Shang Wu said.

"I think that Cao Cao's reform is difficult to carry out, I think the general He Jin is a person who has no rules, and he can't grasp the key points when doing things, so he will naturally be unable to solve the actual problems, in this way, many things will be difficult to carry out, and if such a situation continues to operate, the result will become extremely unfavorable." Jia Xu looked at the letter and said.

"Oh. What do you see? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu curiously.

"It's very simple, the general can solve the problem because of the control of the military power of the central government, and give up the control of the new army in the central West Garden, and instead seek the support of the local military power, such as Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and others, if the local military power has some changes, or they have ulterior motives, the situation will become extremely unfavorable, in such a situation, want to complete such a thing, I think it is still very difficult, after all, many things are not something that we can handle properly, once this happens, It could be very chaotic, and in that case, the court would lose the opportunity to make the final reforms. The likelieving of civil unrest has increased dramatically. Jia Xu analyzed.

Shang Wu nodded, I have to say that Jia Xu's vision is very unique, and his analysis is very accurate, because history does happen like this, the general wants to control the Xiyuan New Army with the help of the development of local military power, and then control the military power in the world, but the general He Jinzhi is very talented, and it is easy to have some indecision, and even accidents, for example, being killed by Zhang Rang and others, such an accident is enough to lead to great fluctuations in political reform, obviously, Cao Cao's ideas are not supported by great support, and development, The essence of the problem that Jia Xu sees is that many of their things have not been greatly improved, and even have changed to a great extent, and such situations will pose a great threat to most people. 、

"Then what do you think of the reform of the imperial court?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"At the very least, you need a strong figure to appear, who can solve most of the problems, and the general He Jin is obviously not such a suitable person, the general is too reckless in many things, and there is no strategy to see, in such a situation, it seems unlikely that it is impossible to form an extremely favorable situation to do such a thing." Jia Xu said.

"Well, I agree with something like that." Shang Wu nodded.

"But I think it's a big improvement for us in the current situation. They also need a change, a big change to make something like this possible. Jia Xu speculated.

"Well, as for their affairs, we can't control them for the time being. The most important thing for us is to maintain the current state, we develop secretly, and do a good job of such a series of situations to make our situation more favorable. Only the strength has risen. Our economic strength has developed, so that we can have better development. Otherwise, we don't have the strength to do it, and we still won't be able to accomplish such a thing in the end. Shang Wu said.

"That's right, so, we should have a strategic plan, I think we should revise the plan to stabilize our current situation, from a strategic point of view, we are actually quite surrounded by users, and if we gain a foothold in Hexi this time, it will be extremely beneficial for us. This kind of thing is extremely beneficial to our layout. In such a situation, I suggest that we first eat the annexed states, and then the northern steppes, and then develop greater, so that our situation will develop even more. Jia Xu suggested revising the strategic goals.

After all, if they can eat the annexed states, it will give them a great deal of help, and at the same time, it will level their defensive pressure, and the annexation is actually a sharp sword hanging over the base areas of the Republican Army. Shang Wu only noticed such a point at this time, but Jia Xu had already noticed such a problem. It seems that the issue of annexation must be resolved.

"For the attack of the cavalry regiment, I think we should retreat in time and let them rest, after all, there are too many sorties in a row. The most important thing is that our strength has not yet increased to the point that we can deal with more cavalry operations on a large scale at one time, we have just begun, we can't be in a hurry, this time we are taking the opponent by surprise, but our luck has also run out, we must retreat as soon as possible. Jia Xu said.

"Well, let our cavalry regiment withdraw, we can't let them continue to risk advancing like this. It's too dangerous. This is a great danger to us. Shang Wu said.

Cavalry regiments, they have done well enough. The Republican Army still has a long way to go if it wants to grow all at once and develop cavalry in the true sense of the word, and in such a situation, it is not possible to retreat back all at once.

Shangdang County, Mishan area, it is rumored that this is the place where Lian Po was stationed in the Changping War that year. But now, it is true that this is the place where there is the most friction between the Republican Army and the imperial garrison.

"Go back, or we'll open fire. I'll tell you, bullets don't have eyes. The IRA officer shouted loudly, his bayonet weapon in his hand, shouting loudly and disdainfully.

And on the opposite side, the officers and soldiers were poorly equipped. That is, there are no archers with weapons like spears and broadswords, obviously if they start a war, they are disadvantaged, and there are two platoons of Republican troops on the opposite side, but there are only thirty people on their side, and they are obviously not opponents of the other side.

"Damn, our side is also a place for the imperial court, and it's not your turn to be wild." There was a loud response from here, but they began to retreat. Obviously, they don't want to continue the protracted confrontation on such an issue, because it is very unfavorable to them, and they should think of such a situation.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and such a confrontation, in the past period of time, has happened many times, but neither side has had a bigger conflict, because they both know very well that their lives are their own, and the two sides just scare and scare each other. There is no need to go to war, especially on the side of the imperial court, the most they can do is throw out some stones, and then loudly intimidate some of the other party, and then there will be no more. This is how the situation between the two sides is facing off.

In Hedong, the same thing is happening.

But there is a silent confrontation here. There were patrols on both sides, and the court would send out 150 people, and the republican army would send a company of troops to patrol, and the republican army would wear neat uniforms, they had boots, and they lined up neatly, and the trumpeters would blow all kinds of tunes, which looked very imposing.

And on the side of the imperial court, no matter how they tidy up, their clothes are dirty, they just like this, the queue, they can't afford to walk, they look very messy. Not only that, but the weapons are not as good as the other side. Although they were axemen, spearmen, and even crossbowmen were equipped. But it is still inferior to the other party in terms of momentum.

In order to suppress the other side, especially to see their trumpeters. This keeps them from fighting, and they seem to use their horns to frighten each other, but the problem is that their bull trumpets are far less crisp and powerful than the other party's trumpeters.

In desperation, when they patrolled, they would follow the drum cart.

They try to intimidate each other in this way. But the Republican side is not showing weakness at all, they have already ordered. Their military band came south to "fight." "It seems that the two sides are planning to start with military music.

"Knock knock. Toot toot toot. "The sound of drums and trumpets collided violently, and such a collision was enough to shock them.
