"What?!" Chen Ji slapped the battle report on the table, "Where have all the troops on the front line gone?!" ”

He supported Xiao Maha with the strength of the country, and he only sent out 3,000 people to go north to block the crucial node of Zhangshan County?

And Lechang Gujing Bubo's pretty face also showed a trace of surprise, and then her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she didn't feel that she was beating faster, so she subconsciously reached out and picked up the teacup on the table next to her, holding it with both hands, and only the temperature from the cup wall could calm her down.

Wu Mingche, as the general in charge of military affairs, obviously knew more details about this aspect, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Now the general of the front line to conquer the west, Chun Yuliang, is attacking Suizhou, and the general of Pingbei is attacking Chuyang, and the rest of the armies are under Jiangling City, and every soldier and pawn may delay the date of breaking through Jiangling City, so General Zuo Wei has no choice but to do it." ”

"As a last resort?" Chen Ji snorted, but didn't say much.

As an emperor who grew up fighting on the battlefield, he also knew that he was not on the front line after all, and his understanding of the situation on the front line was not as good as Xiao Maha's.

Walking straight to the side of the map, Chen Ji said in a deep voice: "In any case, being able to capture Xiao Yue is a great achievement after all, but now the front line is chaotic, and the armies are working hard, if you rashly reward only a few of them, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the departments, so the order is on the front line, remember the merits of these three people first, I will not forget it, and I also urge the rest of the departments to step up their attacks, and don't give Xiliang a chance to breathe." ”

Wu Mingche hurriedly bowed his hand: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Also," Chen Ji changed his words, "how many soldiers and horses do we still have in Huainan?" ”

"Your Majesty means ······" Wu Mingche raised his head in surprise.

Chen Ji said coldly: "Concentrate Huainan troops and attack Huaichuan County and Runan County upward in Huaixi, you don't need to really take many cities, but you must put on a posture of reinforcing Suizhou to the west, so that the defenders of Xiangyang do not dare to continue to increase troops, and also relieve the pressure on Suizhou." ”

"No!" Wu Mingche solemnly bowed. Now the entire Nanchen has put in full strength, with Chen Ji's will, even the Huainan defenders who have been on the defensive have to take the risk of containing the attack, as for whether they can take Jiangling and relieve this long-term henchman, it depends on the front line.

Xiao Maha, Pei Zilie, Li Xinchen······ When you were in Luliang, you did not disappoint XX, and I hope that this time you will not live up to XX's expectations, and not to live up to the entrustment of His Majesty and the entire Da Chen.

Now that Wu Mingche is in Jiankang Mansion, he is only beyond the reach of Jingzhou, and the only thing he can help now is Huainan: "By the way, Your Majesty, who should be responsible for the war in Huainan?" ”

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Nan Chen in Huainan was different from the previous general, and now it was Fan Meng, Lu Zicai, and Wu Mingche's son Wu Huijue, who commanded the troops and horses of the headquarters in three directions.

However, he didn't make a decision in a hurry, but looked at Wu Mingche with a smile: "I don't know what Sikong thinks?" ”

Wu Mingche frowned, he didn't expect this burden to be thrown over by Chen Ji again. You must know that Huainan can have the current balance, it really took Wu Mingche a lot of effort, and it turns out that Lu Zicai and Wu Huijue did not disappoint Wu Mingche, at least now they can maintain the defense line under their command, and while fighting against Wang Liang to the north, they will cut off the connection between Fan Meng of Liangjun and Yangzhou Assassin Shi and the possibility of using each other to the west.

And now that this issue is back on the table, it's okay for Huainan not to move, and if Huainan moves, at least one general must lead the army to the battle, so that Huainan's weird and ingenious balance of power will undoubtedly be broken.

If Lu Zicai or Wu Huijue are allowed to lead the army to go on the expedition, part of the territory under their original jurisdiction will have to fall into the hands of Fan Meng, and even part of it will fall into the hands of Yangzhou Thorn History, and the power in the hands of Yangzhou Thorn History will naturally expand again.

Will this second prince, who hibernate in the last wave, be ready to move again? And Wu Mingche knows very well that now is the weakest time for the prince's East Palace, and above the Wenchen, only the subordinates of the East Palace are still there, and most of the other officials who are biased towards the East Palace in the court are waiting on the front line to receive the new state capital or help transfer food and equipment, and they are not in the court at all.

As for the military attaché, needless to say, now in this Jiankang Mansion, only the army under the command of Mao Xi, the general of the Right Guard, can still rely on the East Palace.

To put it mildly, if Chen Shuling suddenly becomes difficult now, not to mention whether Chen Shubao will still have the throne in the future, even Chen Ji will have to weigh it.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Ji or Wu Mingche, they all know that they can't give Yangzhou Assassin History the slightest chance to grow, otherwise these people in their capital will have to start fidgeting at that time, but obviously Chen Ji doesn't want to bear this "crime", so this bad guy has to be Wu Mingche to do it.

Wu Mingche gritted his teeth, where else did he have any choice now, anyway, there was no way to wash off the marks of the East Palace on his body, it was better to go all the way to the dark.

The old man was originally the master who planned to disarm and return to the field, are you still afraid of you Uncle Chen?

Immediately, Wu Mingche said in a deep voice: "In Yichen's opinion, now the battle situation in Jiangling is tight and cannot be delayed, and the generals and troops closest to Huaixi should be selected, so General Fan stationed in Liang County is the best choice, and the soldiers and horses under General Fan have followed Lao Chen to fight many times back then, and Lao Chen knows a lot about it, and can be called 'elite soldiers', so Lao Chen is sure that General Fan can complete the task of containment." ”

Chen Ji raised his eyebrows and nodded again and again: "Okay, then Fan Meng!" ”

And Wu Mingche exhaled softly. Since Wu Huijue in Northern Xuzhou and Lu Zicai in Zhongli couldn't move, they could only move Fan Meng, and Fan Meng led the army to attack Huaixi, so naturally there was even less chance of being able to contact Yangzhou.

At the same time, Wu Mingche actually gave Fan Meng the last chance to prove himself, or make a choice, if Fan Meng fought this battle well, it would undoubtedly help the generals of the East Palace to achieve a great victory in Jiangling, and naturally he would not be able to run away from the identity and mark of the East Palace; And if he doesn't play well, he will be blamed at that time, which will be enough for him and even the entire Fan family to eat a pot!

What's more, Fan Yi, who is storming under Jiangling City, which side is on, has already caused a secret debate among many people in the government and the opposition, and now it is better to use this big battle to make the entire Fan family completely express its position!

It doesn't matter which side you're on, it's better than the grass swaying like you are now.

Although Wu Mingche is rarely in officialdom, he also knows very well that sometimes it is these seemingly dispensable wall grasses that crush camels! 10
