(Third Update.) ）

Youzhou City.

Thousands of lights warm the north wind, the prosperous and lively Youzhou City day after day, is not seen how to be silent at night, there is no fisherman singing night, but there is a unique heroic style of the north, that is, the land of fireworks, there is a bit of enthusiasm. Since Li Congjing came out of Youzhou, the city has become more and more relaxed about the curfew, and now, the curfew is a matter of time.

Although Li Congjing was not in Youzhou, the officials were still in and out, and officials at all levels performed their duties, not only handling daily political affairs, but also ensuring logistics for the Youzhou army that was fighting in the front. Now sitting in the official office of the Jiedu envoy is the secretary Wei Dao, in the case of Mo Li, Du Qianshu, Wang Pu and other Li Congjing's confidants and scribes are not in Youzhou, the burden on Wei Dao's shoulders is becoming heavier and heavier. As for Fei Gaozhang and others, they were not excluded from the war logistics support system, but those who made up their minds about everything were still Weidao.

At night, almost all the scribes at all levels in the official office of the Jiedu envoy returned to their homes, and those who stayed behind were the small officials who lived in the official residence, although these people were not of high rank, but they held the important positions of the various departments of the official office of the Jiedu envoy, and most of them were the henchmen who followed Li Congjing for a long time, that is, the backbone of Li Congjing's military and political group.

Wei Dao, who was dealing with affairs in the night battle, immediately dropped his chores and found Zhang Ziyun with the letter after receiving a letter from the front line.

Zhang Ziyun had a rare break early today, and as soon as he fell asleep, he was pulled out of the bed by Wei Dao, but he did not complain about this, sat up in his clothes, and beckoned Wei Dao to sit down. It is naturally a very important and urgent matter for Wei Dao to disregard his rest and come to him to discuss with Starry Night, and such a matter naturally cannot be delayed for a moment.

After reading the letter handed by Wei Dao, Zhang Ziyun looked up at Wei Dao, "Brother Wei, since Gongzi has already given the order, without further ado, you and I should start dealing with this matter tomorrow morning." ”

This is exactly what Wei Dao meant, he said in a deep voice: "I won't tell you, I have been looking forward to this letter from the military commander for a long time. Although there are regular military reports on the progress of the war in the Bohai Sea, you and I are not on the front line, and we cannot know what the situation is, which is also what I have always been concerned about. Before leaving, the commander told you and me that if the war goes well and everything can be done, he will give you and me this letter, if not, then you and I will receive another order. Now the commander ordered Youzhou to enter the combat state in an all-round way, which at least shows that the stage goal of the army to go out to the Bohai Sea has been achieved, and with the issuance of this order, Youzhou will respond to the battle in an all-round way, so the army marshal will have fully transferred to the second stage of their campaign. ”

"Exactly." Zhang Ziyun nodded, and looked at Wei Dao with blazing eyes, "At this stage, it is the time for you and me to pick up the burden and show our skills." ”

But it turned out that before Li Congjing set out on the expedition, he had corresponding arrangements in Youzhou in response to the different trends in the development of the war situation. The strategic goal of the first stage of the Youzhou Army's entry into the Bohai Sea campaign was to curb the pace of the Khitan Army's attack on the Bohai State, and now this goal has been achieved. Then, according to the deduction of Youzhou when Li Congjing was in Youzhou in advance, the next war will probably enter the stage of stalemate. At this stage, the Youzhou Army united with the Bohai Navy and launched a battle with the Khitan Army in the Bohai Sea, which was the most frequent and fierce time for the war. If the war develops to this stage, then Youzhou must let go of its hands and feet, no longer care about the forces of all parties, especially the suspicion of the imperial court, and enter a state of war in an all-round way. And Li Congjing worked hard to bury all kinds of open chess and dark moves before, and at this time, they will also be unreservedly revealed.

In short, with the power of Lulong Kyushu, at all costs, seek victory in this battle.

"Raise the power of Lulong Kyushu and seek victory in this battle at all costs. This sentence is simple to say, but it is not so simple to understand. The Battle of the Bohai Sea, fighting outside the country, although it avoided the suddenness of Lu Long's life and the scorching mountains and rivers, but the requirements for the combat power of the army, especially the logistics supply, were too high. At the moment, the Bohai State can give too little help to the army, and the supply that the commander can rely on can only be Youzhou. If it weren't for that, the military commander would not have put Du Qianshu and Huang Fulin in Yingzhou to ensure a continuous supply line. ”

A lamp is like a bean, the north wind is howling outside the window, the house is filled with darkness, the short flame, like a small sail sailing on the sea, facing too much unpredictability, moving forward in many obstacles, it is extremely difficult. Wei Dao continued to whisper: "Logistics supply, there are military rations, ordnance, soldiers, medicine, military food is divided into human food and horse food, ordnance is divided into armor weapons and siege equipment, soldier replenishment is divided into old soldiers and new soldiers, medicine includes doctors and medicinal materials, these accounts are all from the official office of the Youzhou Jiedu envoy, it can be said that everything is in the hands of you and me, the lifeblood of the army, are in the hands of you and me, this burden, with Youzhou let go of his hands and feet, all-round response, undoubtedly a lot bigger." To get to the bottom of it, the place where the army fought was not close to Youzhou, although it was not as much as a stone of food for the soldiers in front, but the cost of the road was thirty stones, but it must not be underestimated. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Dao took a deep breath and asked Zhang Ziyun, "Ziyun, the army has never had such a campaign, and the military town has never started to deal with such a major event, are you confident that it will be done well?" ”

Zhang Ziyun clenched his fists and said firmly: "Whether you have confidence or not, whether you can do it or not, you must do it." The military commander I is famous, Lu Long has been honored and disgraced for ten years, and the lives of thousands of soldiers are here, how can we be allowed to make half a mistake? ”

Wei Dao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the young man in front of him, and said with relief: "I am relieved that you can have this heart." ”

"How to replenish and transport military rations, ordnance, soldiers, and medicine were planned and outlined before the war, and now it is important to ensure their smooth implementation." Zhang Ziyun tried to calm his heartbeat, "What I'm worried about now is precisely here. ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Dao cast an inquiring look.

The eyes of the two collided, but in fact, they both understood what the other party was thinking, Zhang Ziyun said in a deep voice: "Youzhou officials, nothing more than two factions, one is you and me, and the other is the old local official forces, although the local forces led by Youzhou Thorn Shi have obviously thrown themselves into the military marshal, but in the case of our reorganization, the expansion of the army, and the large-scale use of treasury ordnance and the suspicion of the imperial court, whether they are still firmly on our side, we can't help but think about it." ”

"That's true, it's a tricky question." Wei Dao said, "If they don't make trouble, it's fine, once they don't cooperate, what if things develop to the most unfavorable situation?" ”

Zhang Ziyun shook his head, stared at Wei Dao and said resolutely: "There must be no situation where local officials do not cooperate, once such a situation occurs, the overall situation will be ruined!" ”

"If you want to do this, you can only keep a close eye on them, monitor them in the process, and once they have bad intentions, they will nip everything in the bud!" Wei Dao heard the sound of the qin, and took the words, and then sneered very rarely, "The military commander is not without a countermeasure to this, at that time, the Martial Arts Academy will send people to fully take over the vacancies left by the absence of local officials, and reduce the turmoil at a minimum!" ”

"However, you and I can't do this kind of work, it's too delicate and complicated, and it's difficult to grasp." Zhang Ziyun said, "And this matter can't tolerate half a mistake." ”

Wei Dao was stunned, "So what?" ”

Zhang Ziyun was silent.

"Why bother with the two of you, just let us do it." Wei Dao and Zhang Ziyun were silent, and a crisp voice sounded out of thin air out of nowhere.

The two got up in horror and looked around, Zhang Ziyun reacted quickly, and immediately shouted: "Someone!" ”

"What are you shouting, if you really have something, you two have already entered the palace of Hades and served as staff members of Hades." There was a hint of good-natured ridicule in that voice, and this time Wei Dao and Zhang Ziyun found the source of the sound, and the two looked up and found a figure sitting on the beam of the room at some point.

A figure jumped down from the beams of the room, and the person was in mid-air, his clothes were open, and they were as bright red as a flame, like a blooming flower.

The bright red figure sat aside and looked at the two with a grin.

"Fifth girl?" Wei Dao and Zhang Ziyun saw the person in front of them clearly, and couldn't help but lose their voices, "When did you come in?" ”

In the end, it was Zhang Ziyun's own bedroom, he thought more, and said with a dark face: "Why are you sitting on the beam of my bedroom?" ”

The fifth girl pouted, "I'm not here to protect you two. ”

Zhang Ziyun opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Wei Dao's thoughts returned to the right track, he looked at the fifth girl and asked, "The fifth commander just said that you are responsible for monitoring the local officials in Youzhou?" ”

Wei Dao's question made the fifth girl unhappy, and she snorted from her small and delicate nostrils, "Don't you think Master Wei can't do it?" ”

"Yes, surely!" Wei Dao immediately changed his words, "With the fifth girl and the military intelligence department, Ziyun and I will rest assured!" ”

The little lady, who was already a little unhappy because she left Bohai, snorted when she heard the words.

The next day, Youzhou issued a festival envoy order: young people who were registered before the reorganization and were organized for military training enlisted in the army!

Within a few days, countless young men gathered from all directions and entered the military camp outside Youzhou City. By the time the enlistment period expired, the Youzhou military camp had 10,000 new troops!

At the same time, the Jiedu envoy issued a recruitment order to recruit young and strong men into the auxiliary barracks.

When tens of thousands of soldiers and armor were distributed to the new soldiers, the first batch of grain, grass, ordnance, and medicinal materials from the Youzhou City Treasury and grain and grass were loaded in a centralized manner.

On this day, the baggage returned to Youzhou.

The carriage and horse are connected for more than ten miles before and after, and they go abroad!

As the intermediate hub connecting Bohai and Youzhou, Du Qianshu and Huang Fulin received Li Congjing's military orders earlier than Wei Dao and Zhang Ziyun, and their preparations were earlier than Youzhou. As a matter of fact, as early as a few days ago, a group of wounded people had been transported back from Bohai on the avenue in eastern Liaoning, and now they have been resettled in Yingzhou.

"Since the commander has decided to transfer the state of war to the second stage, it means that the army is sure of winning the war at this stage in the Bohai Sea. In the Yingzhou City Office, Du Qianshu and Huang Fulin stood side by side in the courtyard, and there was an old tree next to them, and now only bare branches remained. Du Qianshu said: "It's just that in this way, Lu Long's movement is too big, and I'm really worried about the imperial court." ”

Du Qianshu was wearing a civil official robe, and Huang Fulin was in armor, he was not as worried as Du Qianshu, and said calmly: "Before the military commander left Youzhou, he fought Yannan and Yingzhou, and attacked Liaodong, which was appreciated by His Majesty, and called him the minister of Sheji, and the deputy general of the Tang Dynasty. Later, although the military commander marched into the Bohai Sea without His Majesty's consent, he would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and if the military commander wins, presumably with His Majesty's trust in the military commander, there will not be too many difficulties. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Fulin laughed and said, "At most, the merits and demerits are worth it." It's just that since the military commander came out of Youzhou, how can there be less time when the merits and demerits are offset? ”

Du Qianshu shook his head, "This time is different. Although His Majesty trusts the military commander, but now His Majesty is no longer the previous Wang Shi conquered Shu, but the army has not yet triumphed, and Guo Gong, who is the greatest hero, died on the road, which is really a rare thing in ancient times. Recently, Your Majesty has even punished Li Cunyi, the king of peace, and Li Jiqi, the envoy of the Protector Army, so how can I not worry about the suspicion of the imperial court? ”

Huang Fulin was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something that Du Qianshu couldn't understand: "Maybe the military commander has taken a fancy to this." ”

"What's the explanation?" Du Qianshu was stunned.

"The country is in turmoil, the eyes of the court are in Shu, there is no time to take care of anything else, the military commander is seeing this opportunity, so he decided to raise the land of Lulong Kyushu and fight with the Khitan army unscrupulously."

Du Qianshu was surprised: "However, when the war will eventually stop, the turmoil in Shu will also subside, and when the time comes, the imperial court will have a time to ask the military commander for his guilt!" ”

Huang Fulin did not speak. His hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the knife. He looked to the east.

Perhaps, you have seen that the Tang family will soon be in chaos, right?
