In the blink of an eye, it has been six years of Xingping.

In the fifth year of Xingping, it can be called a beacon fire everywhere.

After the year, after the Lantern Festival, hundreds of officials began to work one after another, and important officials in Yizhou have entered their posts and began to deal with the backlog of things during this time.

Shu Palace, in the main hall.

Wang Can summoned his advisors and generals, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Tian Feng and other ministers sat on the left side of the hall, and Lu Meng, Dian Wei, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu and others sat on the right side of the hall.

These people are all elite backbones under Wang Can's command, and they are loyal to Wang Can.

Wang Can opened his mouth and said: "I summoned you today to arrange pre-war preparations and determine this year's war against Jingzhou. Now that the snow has not melted, the weather is relatively cold, and it is not suitable to raise a large army. Therefore, after the snow melted in spring, he sent troops to attack Jingzhou, captured Jingzhou in one go, and took the bridgehead of the Central Plains. ”

In the main hall, quietly.

However, the generals were all excited.

The battle against Jingzhou is finally coming.

Especially Zhang Xiu, after he followed Wang Can back to Chengdu from Nanyang County, he has been staying in the army to train soldiers. Although he is also a general in the army and leads an army alone, the general cannot go to the battlefield to fight, just like disarming and returning to the field. Therefore, Zhang Xiu looked forward to mobilizing troops against Jingzhou every day, and now finally put the war against Jingzhou on the agenda.

After hearing this, Wen Chen's expression was solemn.

A big war is not only fought by soldiers, but also by the clash of logistics and supplies. At the same time, the strategists who accompany the army need to make great efforts to give advice, and there is a lot of pressure.

"Please let the Lord know!"

In the main hall, the military generals bowed and shouted, knowing that Wang Can was going to arrange a task.

Wang Can's expression was serious, and he shouted: "Cheng Yu! ”

"Humble duty!"

Cheng Yu immediately got up and stood up, bowed slightly, and said with his fists clenched.

Wang Can commanded in a deep voice: "You are in charge of the transfer, promotion and appointment of officials, and send an order to Xu Shu, the Taishou of Qiqi County, to transfer him back to Chengdu, and also transfer Pang De back to Chengdu to listen to it, and to appoint Yan Yan as the new Taishou of Qiqi County." At the same time, we began to select ordinary officials and determine them so that they could quickly take office when Jingzhou was attacked next year. ”

"Obedience!"

Cheng Yu replied, and then retreated into the queue.

Wang Can looked at Ren An and shouted, "Ren An! ”

"The old minister is here!"

Ren An stood up unhurriedly and bowed to Wang Can.

The old man is the eldest person in the palace, and the oldest person among the ministers under Wang Can, who is already over seventy years old, belongs to the respected Confucian, and is a benchmark under Wang Can.

Although Ren An served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he only ordered a lot, and his subordinates had to do specific things.

Wang Can instructed: "Although the public opinion spread some time ago has a certain effect on Jingzhou, it is not enough, and it is necessary to increase the force." When we send troops in the spring, we must occupy morality, and we must make the people of Jingzhou accept us. The officials of the Ministry of Rites should work together and take a lot of pain. If this matter is done well, it will be much easier for the army to enter Jingzhou. ”

"The old minister obeys!"

Ren An replied respectfully, and then returned to the seat and sat down.

Wang Can's eyes fell on Ma Jun and shouted: "Ma Jun! ”

"Humble duty!"

Ma Jun got up and stood up, waiting for Wang Can's orders.

Wang Can instructed: "The big war is imminent, and the old weapons in the army must be refurbished. In particular, gunpowder, giant crossbows and other siege weapons must be hurried out, and Han swords must also be forged, so that soldiers cannot be equipped with Han swords. ”

"No!"

Ma Jun bowed down and replied, respectfully returning.

"Xun You!"

"Humble duty!"

"This time to attack Jingzhou, the strength of the troops is determined to be about 80,000 soldiers. You are the secretary of the military department, and you are fully responsible for the conscription, and you must complete the recruitment of soldiers in the shortest possible time, and at the same time assist Zhou Cang in training recruits into veterans. Some time ago, Li Ru selected a part of the soldiers from the countless homeless people, and after you count, complete this matter as soon as possible! ”

"No!"

"Li Ru!"

"Humble duty!"

"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and the grain and grass are the top priority. You are in charge of the household department, responsible for the logistics of the army, and the matter of requisitioning grain and grass must be decided as early as possible, and sufficient grain and grass must be prepared. ”

"No!"

"Tian Feng!"

"Humble duty!"

"You are in charge of the Criminal Department, and you are fully responsible for the order of Shudi. After the army sets out, the stability of Shu will be handed over to you, and it is necessary to ensure the stability and order of Shu, and there can be no mistakes. ”

"Obedience!"

Wang Can quickly finished ordering everything, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, Wang Can said again: "Cheng Yu, you are the head of the hundred officials, responsible for coordinating the affairs of all officials. When I am not in Chengdu, you will have full authority to handle the big and small matters in Shudi. At this time, Wang Can threw a bombshell, although the officials of each ministry have their own affairs, but Cheng Yu is the head of the hundred officials and the general manager of the rear.

Cheng Yu shook his body and said solemnly: "The humble post must stabilize the rear and not let the lord worry." ”

After the things in the rear have been dealt with, the next step is to arrange the accompanying personnel.

Wang Canlang commanded: "This crusade against Jingzhou, with Guo Jia as the left army division, Xu Shu as the right army division, Lü Meng as the commander of the army, commanding the whole army, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu and Pang De with him, and the rest of the young generals are selected by Lü Meng. ”

"No!"

Guo Jia, Lu Meng, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Xiu stood up and responded with their fists.

However, Guo Jia was a little confused in his heart.

Lu Meng became the commander of the army, didn't Wang Can have to recruit in person? But there is already Cheng Yu as the chief manager in the rear of Shudi, and Wang Can doesn't have to stay, so what should Wang Can do? Guo Jia thought about it, immediately stood up, and asked, "Lord, don't you have to go to Jingzhou in person this time?" ”

In fact, Lu Meng, Cheng Yu and others also had doubts and waited for Wang Can's explanation.

Wang Can smiled faintly and said: "There are Lu Meng, Guo Jia and Xu Shu in the army to discuss the handling, and there are Zhong Degong and other cadres in Chengdu, so I don't have to worry about it." This time, I still have to go to Jingzhou, and when I leave, I will take some of the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion, and I will also take Shi A and Dian Wei, you don't have to worry. ”

When these words came out, how could everyone not be worried.

Wang Can and Liu Biao are about to fight, but Wang Can wants to go deep into the tiger's den, isn't this looking for death? Cheng Yu stood up and persuaded with righteous words: "Lord, you are the lord of a country, you can't take risks easily!" ”

Li Ru, Tian Feng, Ren An and others also spoke out to persuade Wang Can not to take risks.

However, Guo Jia, Lu Meng, and Xun You did not speak out.

These people know Wang Can very well, once they decide something, how can it be so easy to change, Cheng Yu and others' persuasion can only be a deaf ear, and it is useless. Sure enough, Wang Can waved his hand, shook his head and said: "I have my own plans for this matter, you just need to deal with the affairs of Chengdu, and after the trip to Jingzhou is completed, I will naturally return to the army." ”

Cheng Yu sighed and could only retreat. But fortunately, with Shi A, Dian Wei and others accompanying him, with this layer of protection, Cheng Yu also felt a lot more at ease.

After the matter was discussed, everyone left.

Wang Can left the palace with Dian Wei and headed for the Academy of Sciences.
