Chapter 140: Countermeasures (Part II)
At nightfall, Liu Cun, who was wearing a leather crown and black narrow-sleeved officer's casual clothes, entered the meeting hall of the general's palace.
Gongsun Pei, Han Rou, Huo Jian, Ji Wei, Lu Jiu, Tai Shici, Xu Sheng, Zhang He, Qin Yi, Le Jin and other major civil and military officials stood up in greeting.
Liu Cun motioned for everyone to be casual, and strode to the main seat and sat down.
Lu Pei, director of the Military Command Department, stood up again and reported: "The Military Command Department has two important pieces of information to inform the special meeting: first, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Bao Xin, etc., on the grounds that Emperor Xian was young and was abducted by Dong Zhuo, proposed to abolish Emperor Xian, and elected Liu Yu, a relative of the Han family and Youzhou Mu, as the emperor. ”
"At present, Liu Yu is still stubborn, but two of the missions sent by Yuan Shao to Jixian County have already gone to Youbeiping to visit General Gongsun Zhan, and the secret agents of my Zhushan Battalion and Penglai Battalion are still closely watching."
"Second, on May 27, Yuan Shao announced his inauguration in Hanoi as the Bohai Taishou, and at noon on May 29, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan led 2,000 cavalry and 7,500 infantry to Anping County, Jizhou, and is expected to cross Qinghe County to Bohai County, and will arrive at Nanpi, the Bohai administrative office, at the earliest, two days later."
"Yuan Tan's department received great assistance from various counties and counties in Jizhou along the way, and acted in a very high-profile manner. The military office inferred that Yuan Tan's troops would be stationed in Bohai County for a long time. ”
After Lu Pei finished speaking, he sat down, Liu Cun looked around, and finally asked Gongsun Pei: "When Mr. talked with Xu You, the waiter sent by Yuan Shao a few days ago, did Xu You mention these two things?" ”
Gongsun Pei nodded: "Xu Ziyuan mentioned that Yuan Tan led his troops to Bohai County to station, and asked me to take care of Qingzhou, and did not mention that Yuan Shao wanted to set up another imperial court. ”
"I think. Youzhou is just a trick, don't pay attention to it. However, Gongsun Zhan's attitude must be clarified, and it is not possible that Yuan Shao's attendants will instigate the contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu. If Youzhou fights, my Qingzhou will be very embarrassed, and the trade loss will be very large. ”
"But these are not things we need to worry too much about, and they shouldn't involve too much energy, what we should pay attention to the most is the recent abnormal movements of the Yanzhou Army...... The west is the key to the overall situation. ”
Gongsun Pei woke up the generals with a word, and the generals who reacted successively admired Gongsun Pei's overall view.
Liu Cun looked at Zhang He, who was still hesitant: "Junyi, tell me what you think about the situation around the defense area?" ”
Zhang He stood up solemnly: "My lord." His subordinates carefully savored Mr. Botao's words just now, and were deeply moved, believing that Bohai County, which is separated by a river to the north of our plain county defense area, cannot put pressure on our department for the time being, but on the contrary, the Jizhou Army in the west has recently been frequently transferred to the south, which should be highly valued. ”
"If the subordinates expected to be correct, it is likely that the Jizhou Army transferred south will go to assist Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, in fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, rather than attacking Luoyang to the west."
"It's very reasonable, and Junyi sees it very accurately!"
Liu Cun motioned for Zhang He to sit down. Looking at Le Jin, who was far away: "Wen Qian is a patriot, and he is very familiar with Dong County, Wei County and Hanoi County, and the North Route Army of the Dong Coalition Army is currently stationed in Hanoi, with a strength of about 80,000 troops. Wen Qian believes that General Yuan Shao will lead the coalition army to attack Luoyang in the near future? ”
Lejin, who stood up in advance, was already familiar with the procedures and methods of the Qingzhou Army meeting. After a few months of adaptation, I feel that I have learned a lot. At this time, in the face of Liu Cun's inquiry, there was no discomfort:
"Your Lordship. The subordinates thought that Yuan Shao's coalition army would not attack Luoyang, at least not until autumn! ”
"According to the military intelligence report recently issued, the coalition forces that are stepping up shipbuilding at the three ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River in Hanoi County are just bluffing, and it is estimated that the shipbuilding capacity of the craftsmen of Hanoi County over the past few years will take at least one and a half months for 100 craftsmen to build a wooden boat carrying 100 soldiers to cross the river, and now the total number of craftsmen invested in Hanoi County is only more than 600, which shows that the coalition forces are not ready to cross the river for battle."
"Now that there is not much summer grain in storage, and the soldiers who are constantly expanding are consumed, so my subordinates have concluded that at least until the autumn harvest, the coalition forces will not be able to launch an offensive."
"Moreover, with General Yuan Shao's character, he prefers to wait and see how the two divisions of the Southern Road coalition army Yuan Shu and Sun Jian fight, if the southern road goes well, General Yuan Shao's northern road is likely to send troops, on the contrary, if the southern road is not smooth, General Yuan Shao is also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Liu Cun, who was happy in his heart, took the lead in applauding, and the applause immediately rang out, everyone applauded Lejin's wonderful analysis, Gongsun Pei's eyes showed appreciation, and Huo Jian, who recommended Lejin, was even more happy and proud.
Le Jin was quite embarrassed, and was just about to sit down after the salute, Liu Cun's loud voice sounded again: "General Kou Le Jin-"
"The subordinates are here!"
Lejin quickly stood up and responded loudly.
Liu Cun stood up solemnly: "You are now appointed as the chief general of the Second Division of the Langya Army, and concurrently serve as the deputy general of the Qingzhou Southwest Defense Region, and cooperate with General Xu Sheng, the commander of the defense area, to reorganize the personnel and horses of the headquarters, and the officers at all levels below the deputy general of the Second Division will be recommended by you and General Xu Sheng on the day of the end of the reorganization of the officers and soldiers of the two brigades!" ”
"Thank you, Lord! The end will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord! ”
Le Jin's voice trembled with excitement, what a trust and weight this is! He never dreamed that he had just joined the Qingzhou army for less than half a year, and he would become the leading general in charge of 15,000 Langya soldiers.
Tai Shici, Xu Sheng, Zhang He, Lu Jiu, Lu Pei and other generals stood up to congratulate Le Jin, and Le Jin has since become the fifth general of the whole army to be appointed as a division-level commander after Xu Sheng, Tai Shici, Zhang He, and Qin Yi.
After the red-faced Le Jin thanked all his colleagues, Liu Cun motioned for everyone to sit down and began a heated discussion on the surrounding situation and the movements of various armies.
The five members of the Military Command Department immediately took action, and the large military map on the north curtain wall gradually revealed as the red curtain slowly opened, and various carefully prepared materials were sent to everyone.
Bing Cao Ji Wei moderated the discussion, encouraging the generals to boldly express their judgment based on the various intelligence and series of data provided by the Military Command Administration, and anyone can question a certain point of view or conclusion.
This kind of decision-making method of collective wisdom and collective efforts is unique to the Qingzhou Army and the Langya Army, which not only reflects the rigorous spirit of seeking truth and objectivity, but also makes the participants feel the value of their own existence, and gives birth to a sense of pleasure and pride that is valued and trusted, thus greatly stimulating everyone's enthusiasm and imagination, everyone can get inspiration and progress from it, and it is easier to enhance understanding and establish tacit understanding between the schools, and the whole collective is therefore more cohesive.
The military meeting lasted until late at night, and the collective conclusion reached completely confirmed the judgment made by Liu Cun and Gongsun Pei before-Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Bao Xin and others had gathered together in an attempt to force the Yellow Turban Army at the western and southern foot of Mount Tai to turn around and enter Qingzhou to plunder by pressing the Yellow Turban Army of Mount Tai step by step.
