Wangyuan County. Dong Zhuo's army is resting here.

Dong Zhuo led 30,000 men to attack Xian Lingqiang. This is because of the disagreement between him and Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo has ordered Sima Liu Jing of the other department to lead 4,000 people to annex Anding County, and then march.

"My lord, the Republican Army has sent people to send 500 new firearms, as well as five small artillery pieces and 1,000 shells." Li Wei reported. He is very concerned about this matter. Because firearms are related to their status, if they fight in a good way, it will be of great help to them.

"Hmm. Very good. All of these weapons were distributed. Quickly equipped. We'll probably need to use it. Dong Zhuo said. Dong Zhuo is extremely sensitive to firearms, the reason is that firearms can burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. It's the best weapon against the rebels, but it's a pity that the people don't want to accept such a situation, which is really annoying and annoying.

"My lord, let's not detain these weapons and don't associate with the Republican Army, so as not to cause greater disadvantage because of this." Li Wei said worriedly.

"This, we can't afford to lose a big one because of a small one. This firearm is extremely important for the replenishment of ammunition, and the IRA has taken advantage of our weaknesses. If I wait only to do this one transaction. There is no long-term plan. Food, money, and private transactions are sufficient, and no one is allowed to know. Otherwise. We will all be feared by the imperial court. Dong Zhuo said.

"That's good." Li Dao said. Actually, he thought the same way, except that he wanted to be able to get his lord to say such a thing. You must know that associating with the Republican Army is equivalent to associating with the rebels, although the Republican Army is nominally the rebel army of the imperial court, but everyone knows it. The Republican Army and the Imperial Court did not deal with each other, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely delicate. Therefore, many people are evasive, and do not want to associate too much with the Republican Army.

"Well, in addition, in Luoyang, we should have a close relationship with the general. In this way, we can ensure that the court does not have to worry about it. Dong Zhuo said. Dong Zhuo was a warlord after all, and he knew very well what kind of situation his situation was. If you want to go further in the military, the only way is to get close friends with the people in the court, otherwise, their situation will become extremely disadvantaged. Because you don't have anyone in the center, you're just a local warlord. It seems that Dong Zhuo has adapted to a certain rule, and as long as such rules are used, they can continue to develop. That's where he gets it.

Li Dao nodded in approval. In this way, they will get a great guarantee, which can make them develop a little faster. This is the most advantageous way for them.

Lijiazhuang. War Department. Information and reports from all over the country were constantly transmitted through telegrams, which made their demand for electricity more and more great.

Normally, there will be special carriages and horses to transport batteries to various places, but this takes too much time. Telegrams cannot be sent like this for a long time. Electricity consumption is a very serious disaster. Only Shang Wu is here that can rely on a laboratory-like manual generator to generate electricity, but the current supply is extremely unstable. They still need some improvement to get there.

But the telegram still had to react faster than the response of the Jingshi Luoyang. That's the technical advantage.

"The relationship between the Jingshi side is extremely delicate, and the group headed by the eunuch and the general has formed a great opposition, but the general's hands have been divided by Jian Shuo. The situation is not clear for the time being. Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.

"If you can't see it clearly, then let it go, we don't need to entangle with them, because we should all understand such a situation like this." Shang Wu said. It seems that he himself is not very concerned about the development of the situation in Luoyang.

"You don't care much about the situation in Jingshi Luoyang?" Jia Xu asked.

"Hehe, I want to care, but the question is, how do we care, although our troops have expanded the strength of almost two armies at once, the total strength has been close to 100,000, and the food reserves have also increased to a certain extent, at least they can support the battle of our two infantry divisions. But that's not enough. Shang Wu said helplessly.

"Our food reserves are still insufficient, if Jingshi Luoyang can solve our martial arts problems, we will cooperate with them and care for them at all times. But the problem is that they grasp the problem of Hedong and do not let go of us. And that's not all. They also accused us of illegality in our governance of Hedong. It's damn good. Shang Wu scolded.

"It's a big problem for us." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, a ** annoyance, if this kind of thing continues, the result will have a great adverse effect on us, and if it goes on like this, our losses may be very large. In this way, we are too disadvantaged. Shang Wu said.

"So, we need to create a lot of chaos for them, don't get them to focus on us, otherwise the trouble will keep going." Jia Xu said.

"That's right, but the question is, how can we make more trouble for them?" Shang Wu asked.

"Create more chaos. For example, if we encourage the situation around us to be in a state of instability, then our situation is most favorable. Jia Xu said. Jia Xu has always been the kind of person who wins in chaos, he always grasps the most advantageous point to expand his advantages in a very chaotic situation, which is his advantage, and his grasp of human nature is very accurate. In such a situation, their advantage will be much more advantageous. In this regard, Shang Wu was very clear about Jia Xu's situation.

"Hmm. Do you think it's better to do this in that direction? Shang Wu asked.

"The situation in Liangzhou is slowly decreasing. If you want to do something bigger, I think it's still in Beijing. After all, that's the core area. Jia Xu said.

"The problem is that their Emperor Majesty is still there, and there seems to be a possibility of strengthening their centralization. How do we do that in such a situation? Shang Wu said worriedly.

"It's going to take some adjustments, or something like an acceleration." Jia Xu said. Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu, and from Jia Xu's eyes, he saw a possibility, that is, to aggravate the increase of an accident for His Majesty the Emperor. Assassination, or deliberate chaos is something they could have done, and it's a conspiracy. Because of the use of **, new types of firearms continue to appear, which increases the possibility of such a possibility. In such a situation, it is still possible to hasten the death of His Majesty the Emperor and cause even greater chaos.

"Maybe we should give it a try." Shang Wu also knew that once the situation in the imperial court stabilized, the most disadvantageous thing would be the republican army.

Because the Republican Army was developed during the civil strife in the Yellow Turbans of the imperial court. The more chaotic the situation, the better it is for them, but now, the situation has a tendency to stabilize, despite the inertia of history, whether you have a firearm or not. They all have their own inertia to go through these histories.

Shang Wu is very clear about this, but they feel that they should be able to intervene in history, or speed up the process of history, for example, use some special methods, speed up the intervention of some core and key figures, in this way, their situation will be much more favorable, obviously this core key person is Emperor Han Ling, if they can speed up the pace of this, Shang Wu believes that such an intervention is due. This may seem like a conspiracy. However, most of these are important links in the intelligence and combat system, and in the face of such a link, this still has a necessary role.

Jingshi, Luoyang. Cao Cao casually found a wine shop to drink. He was angry.

For the sake of the uniform problem of an infantry company of less than two hundred people, he even broke his leg and did not solve it. He can buy it at his own expense, but what's the use? The problem of military uniforms was originally solved by the army itself, but Cao Cao was very annoyed that he was asked to solve such a problem by a private person.

In the end, such a problem had to be settled. In the eyes of those high-ranking officials in the imperial court, Cao Cao made a bit of a fuss. Even, a little unreasonable, what a military uniform is, is a piece of clothing, which has no direct connection with war. For Cao Cao's unreasonable request, they were all refused.

Therefore, the first step of Cao Cao's military reform was stranded on the issue of military uniforms. It's not so much stranded as it gets. The entire imperial court was not interested in such a military reform. There are many favorable demands, and they will not agree to it.

Cao Cao had no choice but to drink alone. There was no way, if he could solve something like this, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

"Huh. Ridiculous, ridiculous. Cao Cao smiled after taking a sip of wine.

"I, Cao Cao, am dedicated to the country. But I didn't think that you couldn't see the overall situation. Hehe. Cao Cao said with a smile. He looked a little drunk.

Thinking about it, it is true that the whole court is extremely dissatisfied with the eunuch group. No one cares about Cao Cao's military reform, not only that, but military reform is a very money-burning place in the eyes of eunuchs, this also needs money, and that also needs money. It's such a damn thing, and they all hate it. In this way, the military reform that Cao Cao wanted to carry out was not needed by the two important interest groups. If you don't die young, you really can't talk about it.
