Ji County has a long history, was founded in the tenth year of Qin Wugong, has a history of more than 800 years, during this period is the transportation hub in the south of Liangzhou, has an extremely important position. After hundreds of years of repair and development of successive dynasties, its city is very large-scale, and it is a large city in the whole Liangzhou and even the world.

Ma Yi was forced to withdraw his troops, and after Wang Xu led his troops to enter here, he immediately set the command center here without much thought.

Subsequently, he unified the deployment of the two converging armies, the general Zhang Liao led the general Wang Xiong of Yamen, the general of Dai Zhenyuan, Zhang Wei, and the main force of 60,000 elites, stationed in Shouyang County in the north of Longxi County, and in the east of the famous Baishi Mountain, and confronted Pang De, who retreated to Didao, the capital of Longxi County.

Pingnan general Han Meng and Pingxi general Wang Ling, led 30,000 troops to station in the area of Bird and Mouse Mountain, to curb the passage of the Silk Road, still under the command of Zhang Liao, the two armies relied on each other, coordinated with each other, jointly controlled the two important passages running through the north and south of Longxi, and sought opportunities to break the enemy.

In addition, Wei Yan, the general of the expedition, and Gan Ning, the general of Weilie, led 70,000 troops to the northern part of Hanyang County and Pingxiang and its suburbs in the east of Shouyang County, to guard against the main force of Liangzhou in the north of Zuli and Yongshi Counties, and at the same time to take care of Zhang Liao in Shouyang in the west, and the support of the command center of Ji County in the south.

Yokono General Liao Huadu led 30,000 soldiers and horses into Ayang in the northeast of Pingxiang, not seeking to forge ahead, but seeking to hold this place, and to respond to the bird clan in the east of Ayang County and in the territory of stability!

Zhang Ren, He Yi, and Chen Ying, who were originally stationed in Jieting, led 20,000 border troops from their headquarters to reinforce Zhao Yun of the Bird Clan, and only the junior general was left in Jieting with 1,000 people to garrison. Because at this time the kiosk was already in the rear, and it was currently only one of several transportation lines. It is enough to maintain local stability.

At the same time, Zhuge Jin and others, who were originally left behind in Fufeng Chen Cang, also received the order. Lead the department into Xiliang. Further enrich the strength of the state of Chu and strengthen the control of the occupied areas.

In mid-May, under the order of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the general department of Diannong brought a large number of officers and officials to fight for the political offensive against Liangzhou, and finally launched in full swing.

………………

Summers in Liangzhou are very hot, and even though its winters are cold, the hot summer sun still doesn't stop it. And the temperature difference between day and night is also very large. This is very uncomfortable for the soldiers of the Chu State, wearing battle armor during the day, it is like a barbecue, and at night it is cool and breezy, and it is not good to cover the quilt, and many soldiers who are not very adaptable are sick.

At the end of the day, Wang Xu took Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin to inspect the wounded barracks, facing the gentle cool breeze, somewhat worried in his heart.

"There are signs of an increase in the number of sick soldiers these days. That's not a good sign! Guo Jia said softly.

Wang Xu frowned.

"If it's a normal illness, it's fine, but the most fearful thing is that it's infectious. That would be a disaster for us! Ziyu, how is the recruitment of medical officers that you supervised completed? ”

Zhuge Jin bowed slightly, and his words were heavy: "Back to the lord, Xiangyang replied that Fu Sikong had personally started this matter, and Taichang Xiang Lang went north to Yongzhou, preparing to recruit Yongzhou doctors to come over for emergency first, but ordinary doctors were unwilling to follow the army, and it was a little difficult to implement!" ”

"I don't care about this, there are not enough medical officers in the army, the first batch of doctors must arrive within half a month, it is not easy for the soldiers to fight in front, for the stability of the Chu State, so that they will not suffer from the war, and now it is time for them to pay, who dares not to obey, and will be punished with disobedience!"

Wang Xu's words were very resolute, then he thought about it, and then continued: "However, the front-line military medical officers or doctors, you must make proper arrangements, provide as good conditions as possible, and if there is an emergency, you must also give priority to ensuring their safety and evacuation speed, which is also the responsibility of the soldiers!" ”

"I will do my best!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Yes!" Wang Xu nodded, and walked forward again, perhaps feeling a little cold, and his right hand tightened his clothes slightly.

"By the way, how effective has Zhuge Kongming's strategy been these days?"

"The results are good, especially in the counties!"

Guo Jia replied with a smile: "The people were still suspicious at first, but the handling of various places was very timely, and they took the initiative to distribute some items, although they were not much, but they were able to gain the trust of the people." It's just that this matter is not an overnight achievement after all, and it needs to be continuously implemented in order for more people to agree. ”

"What is really difficult to deal with now is those townships and villages, our control over the townships is very weak after all, there is a shortage of manpower, and the hostility of the people is very strong, and there is not much progress for the time being, but the subordinates have ordered all parties to send soldiers to inspect the townships and spread the decrees of the Chu State, I believe that if it continues, there will always be progress."

"That's not bad!" Wang Xu has long known that he will encounter many difficulties, so he is still very satisfied with the current progress. "However, the promotion of the decree must still be continuously strengthened, which will have a great impact on our continued march, you know, intelligence shows that the military reserves of Wei and Wu have been rapidly restored, the ordnance of the two countries is producing day and night, and mineral mining is extremely fast, if we can't completely break through Liangzhou before next summer, we will face the dilemma of having to withdraw our troops!"

"Rest assured, after the autumn harvest at the latest, you will be able to win the hearts of the people of Liangzhou!" Guo Jia was not too worried, and his face was very calm.

Wang Xu glanced back at him and smiled.

"What? Do you think that after the autumn harvest, when the people here get benefits, they will be able to influence the envy of other people in Liangzhou, so that they will no longer help Liangzhou and let us get support? ”

"Not only that, the minister has ordered people to spread a large number of Chu decrees in the enemy's territory some time ago, presumably it will not be long before everyone will know about it, and when the people of Liangzhou see the actual results after the autumn harvest, then there must be no doubts, but the Liangzhou army has to levy heavy taxes, after all, their troops are far more than the load, and the accumulated grain is not much, so it can't last long. and the comparison between the two shall bring the people to their hearts. ”

Wang Xu smiled and nodded: "En!" Very good idea, but the high-level officials in Liangzhou will definitely strictly control the spread of news! ”

Guo Jia seemed to be confident, and smiled disapprenosingly: "It's okay, the more Liangzhou is controlled, it will make the people disgusted with it, Liangzhou has been the territory of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, and the people have no national and national rejection of our Chu State, although the current Chu State is a family of its own, but it is still the Chu State of the Han Dynasty, and its hatred of us is just the reason for years of war, as long as we can give more to the people, they will definitely support us!" ”

"If the high-level of Liangzhou orders a suppression, it will inevitably make the people who have not been able to get the favor of the Chu State in the occupied territory even more dissatisfied, and the minister has already ordered that the rumors spread should be in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, that is, we were given to them by the order of the Son of Heaven, and those exempted taxes are due to them in the past two years, and they are the favor of the Han Dynasty, and if they want it, it will be their own loss if they miss it!"

In this way, what Liangzhou did is equivalent to depriving the people of their rights and interests, and won't it arouse public anger? Ordinary people only care about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, how can they think about the difficulties of the high-level in Liangzhou? was forced to be in a hurry, and even turned against him, and it was not impossible to say that the Ma family itself was a traitor. It must be known that the Ma family has not been unified in Liangzhou for a long time, perhaps except for the people in the place where they started from have received their favor and will support them, the people in other regions will not be like that! ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he looked at Guo Jia in amazement, he had always respected Guo Jia, and he was very shocked that he proposed such a vicious strategy.

"Guo Shangshu, is this plan a little ......?"

"Something sinister, isn't it?"

Guo Jia saw that Zhuge Jin was not good at saying the second half of the sentence, but took the initiative to speak, but after he finished speaking, he shook his head and asked out loud.

"Is this good for the people?"

"Advantageous!"

"Is it good for the country?"

"Even more advantageous!"

"Is it beneficial to calm the world and change the people to a peaceful and prosperous world?"

"It's also beneficial!"

"What does that mean insidious?" Guo Jia asked.

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, although he has Wang Zuozhi's talent, but after all, he is not particularly rich in political strategy, and his thinking will be limited to individuals from time to time, and he will not always think from the position of the people and the overall situation, so of course there will be problems, for the country, the people and the world, it is also correct to be insidious, but personally, of course, it is the opposite.

"Subordinates are taught!"

After Zhuge Jin reacted, he bowed respectfully to Guo Jia to show his gratitude, after all, Guo Jia was not obliged to teach him.

"Huh! You and I are friends and courtiers, so there is no need to be so humble! Guo Jia waved his hand generously.

"Yes! Fengxiao's move is indeed a good strategy for the benefit of the country and the people! ”

Wang Xu was very happy and took the conversation with satisfaction. "If it can be implemented smoothly, then it will be the most fatal blow to the foundation of Liangzhou, and in today's situation, its strength is even far greater than the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Bong-hyo! You said this to me tonight because you wanted me to send the spy to help! ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia responded with a smile, the two of them already knew each other.

"Alright! You don't need to compliment me, tomorrow I will order the spy to fully assist in the implementation of this matter, and it must spread to all areas of Liangzhou in the shortest possible time! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu waved his hand, turned around and said, "It's not early, so go back and rest first!" ”

"Then the lord ......," Zhuge Jin said relationally.

"I want to be quiet and go back later!"

"Then the ministers will retire!" Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin said in unison.

Wang Xu watched the two of them go away, then turned around and came back, and under the moonlight, he slowly walked into the distance.

"Dian Wei, get some wine, let's find a quiet place and have a drink!"

Dian Wei, who had been quietly following behind, was instantly overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Okay, how much should you drink?" ”

The corners of Wang Xu's mouth drew the long-lost arc, as if he was smiling but not smiling.

"Feel free, you can drink as much as you want, but find a good place!"

"The roof of the castle?"

"Nice idea!"

Not long after, on the top of the highest city tower in the east city of Ji County, two figures sat side by side, bathed in the bright moonlight, behind them in the distance were layers of houses, and on the other side was the dark mountains and mountains, they sat casually, holding wine jugs in their hands, talking and laughing......
