A pink-black dispute caused by Brother Liang was successfully resolved by Zhu Pingjian's appetizing words.

The discussion gradually subsided, and Zhu Pingjin directly named Shu Guoming and asked Shu Guoming to finish speaking. The current goal and task is still to purify the ranks of cadres, unify the thinking and action of cadres, and formulate an action plan for the next step accordingly.

"The prince praises loyalty, and makes the rebellious ministers and thieves stink for 10,000 years, and the ministers are full of admiration!" Shu Guoming said, and slashed Gu Jiang with his eyes, "Emperor Daming, the prince of the world, is benevolent in Sichuan, not similar to Han Zhaolie?" The ministers are loyal and diligent and responsible, and they raise troops to resist thieves, which is not similar to the ministers of Shu Han? ”

"Mr. Shu said well!" Song Zhenzong shouted loudly: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, in the end, I will see one hammer and one pair, and see two fight a pair!" Two fists flew, each facing Gu someone's direction.

Song Zhenzong's shouting made the hall burst into laughter, only the superior Zhu Pingjin and the subordinate Gu Jiang did not laugh.

"Mr. Gu's strategy, there are those who are in agreement, and there are those who are not! According to the report, if it is inappropriate, please correct Mr. Gu! Shu Guoming, who obviously had the support of everyone, decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and looked like he rolled up his sleeves and fought in the ring.

Gu Jiang came up arrogantly, took a few steps forward and said, "Please ask Mr. Shu for advice!" ”

"Mr. Gu has clouds: Shudi, the leader of the world, the upper reaches of the river. However, Hanzhong, the land of Benyizhou. Shu lost Hanzhong, such as soldiers without a shield, soldiers without armor, fighting with bare hands, unharmed?

Therefore, the students also thought: Hanzhong, my national army will take it! However, it must be taken, not now, it must be taken at the right time, place and people! I wonder what Mr. Gu thinks? ”

"Yes!"

Gu Jiang hesitated for a moment and affirmed Shu Guoming's assertion. However, he quickly emphasized that Jing Xiang's defense was temporarily safe in his opinion because there was an army of thieves in the north. Since it is necessary to use troops in Jingxiang, and it is not possible to make the historical mistake of Zhuge Liang dividing the troops into two places, it is best to take Hanzhong and then reorganize the troops to the east of Jingxiang.

This time Shu Guoming grabbed the opportunity.

"At the beginning of last year, when I entered the Shu Palace, the students were as broad as Mr. Gu, and they were vague and easy to say." Shu Guoming deprecated Gu Jiang with self-deprecation: "The prince of the world uses soldiers, and he will win every battle." He also, Shizi Dundun taught us that intelligence gathering should be meticulous, intelligence analysis should be thorough, plans should be formulated in detail and thoroughly, and plans should be implemented meticulously. The prince also said: Empty words are unacceptable, misleading people and self and the country! ”

Brush!

Gu Jiang suddenly blushed and froze in place.

……

Shu Guoming is a senior intelligence analyst who is supported by Zhu Pingjin. The convenience of his position allows him to have immediate access to the Intelligence Bureau and all aspects of intelligence. Personal qualities aside, in terms of the breadth and abundance of information materials alone, his vision is incomparable to Gu Jiang, who only relies on book knowledge and eye observation to obtain information.

Shu Guoming pointed out that Hanzhong is south of the Qinling Mountains, far from Qin and close to Shu. For the Protector Army, it is not only the first line of defense to defend Shudi, but also the advance base for Qinlong, and the passage for Qiangzang in the west, so it is a must-take place.

However, there is a question of timing.

Since the rioters were driven across Bashan, there have been growing signs that the rioters are competing with Hanzhong officials for limited food and population in order to survive.

The main force of the official army in Hanzhong was Zhao Guangyuan, the total strength of about 20,000, less than 5,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and less than 400 elite soldiers. Without the support of Guanzhong or Longyou's official army, it was difficult for Zhao Guangyuan's troops to completely hold the nine counties of Hanzhong Prefecture.

The guards of the Ruiwang Mansion were drawn from the Beijing camp, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers who dared to fight. But since they were guarding the Rui Wangfu, they couldn't leave the Hanzhong Mansion to go out of the city to fight. Once the core areas of Hanzhong Province, such as Nanzheng, Chuxian, Chenggu, Yangxian and other places, were attacked by bandits, Ruiwang and Guannan Province Chen Qi could only take the following three ways to solve their own security problems:

Call for reinforcements, hold on to the spot, or abandon the city and flee.

Shu Guoming believes that it is basically impossible to request reinforcements.

Kaifeng, the great city of the Central Plains, is in danger, and the new Qin governor Sun Chuanting is gathering Qin troops to help Bian. However, the Qin army was defeated by Xiangcheng and Xiangcheng twice, and its vitality was greatly damaged. Only after completing the two arduous tasks of organizing and training the new army and collecting food and salaries can the troops leave Tongguan.

ACCORDING TO RELIABLE SOURCES, BECAUSE THE IMPERIAL COURT URGED SUN CHUANTING TO GO OUT OF THE CUSTOMS TO RELIEVE THE SIEGE OF FENG, SUN CHUANTING HAD ALREADY SENT A LETTER TO SEND CONGREGATIONS TO XI'AN TO DISCUSS MATTERS WITH THE GENERALS SUCH AS HE RENLONG, ZUO XING (XIANG OR RANG), NIU CHENGHU, AND ZHENG JIADONG. Zuo Xun is the son of Zuo Guangxian, the commander of the reinforcement army, and has served in Shaanxi for a long time. Niu Chenghu, the chief soldier of TAO, and Zheng Jiadong, the general soldier of Guyuan, were also old subordinates of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, like He Renlong.

Therefore, on the eve of this war, Hanzhong, whose situation is not so urgent, can only stick to the spot and try to protect itself.

However, it is also not easy for Hanzhong to stick to the spot.

Holding on to the spot requires more troops. But Hanzhong is just a thief, and since the seventh year of Chongzhen, he has been constantly harassed by thieves. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the thieves made a false move under the city of Hanzhong, which frightened King Rui desperately to call for reinforcements to the imperial court. Where there are thieves, there are bandits. The bandits have gone, the officers and soldiers are coming again, and the drought and locusts are alternating with the snow disaster, Hanzhong is already full of devastation, and it is on a par with the counties of northern Sichuan, where is there still excess food for the increase of troops?

King Rui vassal Hanzhong raised an imperial uncle in a small place in Hanzhong, which made the people of Hanzhong even poorer.

Recently, a large number of Hanzhong people, including some gentry, have fled to Sichuan, which shows that the imperial court has lost popularity in Hanzhong, and it can also be seen that the people of Hanzhong have been cornered. The young soldiers of the official army were short-paid, but the local tyrants who fled into Hanzhong could take the opportunity to collect the hungry people as soldiers. With the passage of time, the balance of power between the two sides will inevitably undergo fundamental changes. At that time, Hanzhong will become an isolated city, and stubbornly defending will become guarding to death.

Shu Guoming's judgment is reasonable and well-founded. Gu Jiang couldn't intervene, and the ministers could only say yes. Shu Guoming directly denied the possibility of conscription and rescue in Hanzhong and holding on to the spot, so abandoning the city and fleeing became the only logical choice.

However, Shu Guoming's judgment next was not only unexpected by everyone, but also by the existing evidence.

"King Rui worships Buddha but not close to women, is greedy for money and is good for charity, and his body is weak and his will to defend the country is very strong. Its escape? Don't run away! King Rui is a close relative of the emperor, and if he is in danger, the court will transfer troops to protect him. Therefore, if King Rui does not escape, the gentry of the Hanzhong government will not flee either! ”

Shu Guoming's definite judgment was not only unexpected by the ministers, but also by Zhu Pingjin's judgment.

Zhu Pingjin is a time-traveler, and he knows the real historical context. After Li Zicheng captured Xi'an, King Rui hastily fled to Chongqing.

Who knows how to get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth. Soon after King Rui arrived in Chongqing, he was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, who entered Sichuan for the fourth time.

Shu Guoming judged that King Rui would not escape, which was diametrically opposed to real history. Why is there such a big difference?

The more in-depth the debate over the three routes, the more Zhu Pingjin felt the complexity of the actual situation. What he cares about now is not Shu Guoming's judgment, but how Shu Guoming's judgment was reached.

……

With Zhu Pingjin attaching great importance to and personally guiding the political research work, the organizational structure of the political research office has been continuously strengthened and the working mechanism has been continuously improved.

At present, the Political Research Office has been expanded into the provincial office, the provincial office and the counselor's office.

The extra-provincial offices that conduct advanced strategic intelligence analysis are divided into 18 sub-groups according to their regions: the North and South Zhili, the 12 Buzheng Divisions, and the Liaodong, Tibetan, Qiang, Mongolian, and Huihui groups.

The eighteen teams are not completely fixed. There are both cross-part-time and special research.

For example, the Yangtze River research group is attended by personnel from four groups: Huguang, Jiangxi, Nanzhi and Zhejiang; The Haijiang task force is composed of personnel from nine groups in Liaodong, Beizhi, Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan.

These professional researchers, who were once the low-level scholars who were abandoned and not used under the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, are now an indispensable elite class under the talent mechanism of the Shu Palace.

They are not only the producers of the products of ideas, but also the reserves in the talent pool. After the training of various positions, they may become the eagle dogs and lackeys of Zhu Pingjin's domination of the world.

Because of this, while Zhu Pingjin used his own brain to think, he also handed over the problem to the Political Research Office for research. It seems that the Political Research Office has already come to some conclusions.

"Mr. Shu, who made the conclusion?" Zhu Pingjin asked.

Zhu Pingjian's question has broken the convention of using the conclusions of political research.

The political research briefings that are played regularly or irregularly are the main carriers of the conclusions of the political research, and there is always only a conclusion and no process. Even if the conclusion of the political research is said and played through Shu Guoming's mouth, it may not be Shu Guoming's personal opinion.

This is because the specific source of intelligence and the specific process of intelligence analysis are often classified higher than the conclusions reached after intelligence analysis.

The Military Aircraft Department, the three general departments, the Intelligence Bureau, the Shu'an Bureau, and other units are only users of the conclusions of the political research, and they are not allowed to know the production process of the conclusions. The specific distribution of each conclusion to which users and the specific contacts of each user are completely controlled by two people - Zhu Pingjin himself and his secretary and chief of staff Cheng Xiangfeng.

The production process of each conclusion is only known to Zhu Pingjin himself. For example, Zhu Pingjin's wife took advantage of the situation to sell short in the stock market, which was discovered by a researcher surnamed Tang (Note 1), who had newly joined the provincial domestic economic group (Note 1), and secretly reported to Zhu Pingjin through Shu Guoming.

Faced with Zhu Pingjin's sudden interrogation, Shu Guoming hesitated for a moment, and then gave the truth behind the conclusion:

It is the conclusion of Liu Yuliang and Lu Daqi. Liu Yuliang has been an official in the Hanlin Academy of Beijing for many years, and he has dealings with King Rui from time to time. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, King Rui was in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yuliang was ordered to participate in the raising of silver and silver, and he had a deep understanding of King Rui's temperament. Recently, the prince asked Liu Yuliang to write some articles, and Liu Yuliang asked people what the minister wrote. The minister happened to receive the will of the prince, so he asked Liu Yuliang to write about King Rui......

As for Lu Daqi's conclusion, it was his son Lu Qian's unintentional words. Lu Qian returned to Guangyuan last month, and heard that this year's autumn was very different from previous years, so he hurriedly rushed to Chengdu to find out the truth. When the minister learned the news, he found a few showmen and invited him to drink and chat, and by the way, he ......"

"This son knows." Zhu Pingjin waved his hand to interrupt Shu Guoming's statement. If it weren't for the importance of the matter, and if it weren't for the serious disunity in the thinking of the cadres, Zhu Pingjin would not have let Shu Guoming tell so much in public.

"Regarding Hanzhong and Longyou, the secretaries don't have to discuss it anymore. The son of this world has already had a case, and there will be a will in a few days. It's Huguang, you Aiqing can speak freely......"
