"Your Majesty, let me lead the army to conquer Shiwei!" Xu Chu said eagerly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao smiled, "Zhongkang is invincible on land!" ”

Xu Chu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"But it can't be used in that environment! So the leading generals of this battle should be southerners! ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Cao Cao smiled: "It's better to seek far than near!" Let Zhou Tai be the leading coach! ”

Cao Cao walked on the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace, and Hu Zhao followed half a body behind.

"Kong Ming, this time has really worked hard for you!" Cao Cao said sincerely.

Hu Zhao couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is serious!" It is the duty of a minister to serve His Majesty and the Empire! ”

Cao Cao spit out his footsteps, looked at the clear sky in the distance, and said with some emotion: "I think back then, I was just a captain struggling in the troubled times, and I don't want to sit on hundreds of millions of rivers and mountains today, it's like a dream!" ”

Hu Zhao said with some excitement: "Your Majesty and the Great Wei Empire created by Your Majesty will surely be immortal!" ”

Cao Cao laughed.

Hu Zhao hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the government and the opposition have a lot of different voices about Your Majesty's life experience!" ”

Cao Cao frowned and said with a smile: "Let them talk!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to intervene in this matter?"

Cao Cao shook his head, "There's no need!" Besides, imposing interference will only provoke more dissent! When this round of wind has passed, the matter will naturally subside! ”

Hu Zhao couldn't help but nodded, and arched his hand with admiration: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Cao Cao smiled indifferently and patted Hu Zhao on the shoulder, "Although the current empire is stronger than before, we must be more cautious!" Otherwise, it is very likely to flourish and decline! It's cold in the heights! ”

"Wechen understands! Your Majesty rest assured! Hu Zhao said solemnly.

Cao Cao asked: "Can the garrison in Jiaozhou be worthy of a war?" ”

The Jiaozhou garrison is not the same as the garrison army in other places, he was established and trained in the past year, the soldiers are mainly from the local Han groups in Jiaozhou, and the others are from the local barbarians, with a strength of 50,000, and the equipment is slightly different from the garrison forces in other places, mainly to adapt to the climate of the local tropical rainforest, Hu Zhao has been training for more than half a year, and the combat strength should be passable.

Hu Zhao arched his hand and said: "In the plain area, you can defeat the barbarian army!" ”

"Oh!?" Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Although the barbarian legion is a weaker army in the military system of the Wei army, it belongs to the regular army after all, and it has been in the army for a long time, and its combat power is not weak, and Hu Zhao actually claimed that the local garrison army of only two years can compete with it.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Protectorate Garrison in the Wei Army is indeed not weak, at least comparable to the Ninth and Tenth non-elite regiments, but the reason why this garrison has a good combat flow is because the quality of its soldiers and training methods and degrees are generally the same as those of the regular army, in other words, the Northern Metropolitan Protectorate Garrison is not the same as the regular army in addition to the number of the garrison

Any difference.

"Kong Ming, are you mistaken?" Cao Cao was incredulous.

Hu Zhao swore solemnly: "Weichen dares to guarantee!" ”

Seeing Hu Zhao like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but have some expectations for this Jiaozhou local garrison.

"Kong Ming, I didn't plan to transfer the Jiaozhou Garrison, but since you have such a high evaluation of the Jiaozhou Garrison, then I want to transfer 20,000 Jiaozhou Garrison to Weak Water Island! What do you see? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "However, if the Tukou Guojiao Prefecture Garrison behaves unsatisfactorily, I will punish you, the protector!" ”

"Weichen dares to make a military order!" Hu Zhao said with confidence.

Cao Cao smiled: "There is no need for a military order!" ”

After a pause, "I decided to transfer 30,000 soldiers of the Eighth Army from Fusangzhou, 20,000 local garrisons from Yangzhou, plus 20,000 local garrisons from Jiaozhou, the total strength is 70,000, plus 30,000 sailors, the total strength is 100,000 troops!" With this 100,000-strong army attacking Shiwei's lair, what does Kong Ming think? ”

Hu Zhao thought for a moment and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although there are a lot of 100,000 troops, there is no real elite main force!" And we are not very clear about the situation in Shiwei, and we don't know much about the local terrain! I'm just afraid of ・・・・・・"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and said, "Although Shiwei is a generation of heroes, it is impossible to run Nanban in such a short period of time!" However, the geography and topography that Kong Ming mentioned are indeed a problem! We are almost at a loss for what we know about there, by the way, in the previous report, it was said that there is an Eastern Woman Country on the southeast coast of Nanban, does Kong Ming know about it? ”

Hu Zhao said: "Wechen has heard about this Dongnu country from the mouths of local fishermen in Jiaozhou! It is said that the ruler of the Dongnu Kingdom is a woman, with a population of hundreds of thousands, who is good at weaving and farming, and is very hospitable! But these are all rumors, and it is not known exactly how! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the daughter country in Journey to the West, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be such a country!" Interesting! ”

"Does Your Majesty want to send an envoy to the Eastern Female Country?" Hu Zhao asked.

Cao Cao nodded, "That's for sure!" Kong Ming, who do you think is appropriate to envoy to the Eastern Women's Kingdom? ”

Hu Zhao pondered: "The first thing is to adapt to the local climate, and the candidates for Weichen must be selected from Jiangnan and even Jiaozhou!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Does Kong Ming have such a candidate?" ”

"The list of this year's palace exam, Li Zhongyan, is a native of Zhuling, has traveled in the Jiaozhou area, has a strong physique, a tough personality, although he is a Confucian scholar, he does not move corruption, and is a representative of the practical new Confucian!"

"Li Zhongyan!"

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "I remember him!" This kid's personality is not like Wenchen, but like a general! Discuss issues and never talk about big truths, only reality! ”

Hu Zhaoxing smiled, "Exactly!" Weichen thought that he could give him a chance to experience! ”

Cao Cao nodded, frowned, and said, "However, I'm afraid this trip is not peaceful!" ”

Hu Zhao said: "Your Majesty, if you want to get beautiful jade, you must be willing to carve it!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly brightened, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Not bad!" Only after being forged with fire can it become real steel! ”

"What is his current position?" Cao Cao asked.

"The current county guard of Jiaozhou!"

Cao Cao said categorically: "Destroy him to the rank of the Ministry of Rites, entrust him with the post of special envoy, and immediately go to the East Woman Country!" ”

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, what about sending troops to the Southern Barbarians?" Hu Zhao asked.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, "Wait until Li Zhongyan sends an envoy to the East Female Kingdom!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"However, the troops from all over the country are still transferred to the weak water island according to the original plan!"

After the Jin army retreated to the fortress of Durent, they carefully guarded against a possible surprise attack by the Wei army. (To be continued.) )
