Jiang Wei finally knew that he was not fighting with one person before, but a group of people working together to find countermeasures to deal with him. In the traditional military, there are only one or two people who make decisions, either the chief general pats his head and decides the course of action, or there is a military advisor who comes up with a good plan, and then the chief general thinks it is feasible, and then it is decided.

But the Shu army is completely different, so many people think together, so many people put forward opinions, and the things they come up with are naturally very comprehensive. They also have military advisors, but they are not one person, but a group of people, and these people are the general staff.

After the General Staff has worked together to draw up the battle plan, it is not yet finished, and a military meeting will be held to discuss the feasibility of the battle plan. How could such a final battle plan not be exhaustive?

Jiang Wei likes this atmosphere very much, he used to rely on himself to meditate on everything, it was really hard, and it was very stressful, and it was easy to make mistakes and omissions, but now this method of collective discussion makes him feel much more relaxed.

And Jiang Wei also likes the atmosphere of this meeting, it is not as depressing as in other handsome tents, and the coach Zhang Bao is also very approachable, where everyone can speak freely without scruples, and his words and deeds are far away from here.

The battle plan discussed by the military council this time was actually a reserve plan, the main plan was to plot against the generals and officials in the city, and the reserve plan was to storm Chang'an City after the rebellion was unsuccessful.

Liu Hou has always disliked strong attacks, likes to pull out thousands of pounds in four or two, likes to take tricks, and likes to win in the least cost and most trouble-free way, so he generally takes the strong attack plan as a backup plan.

Even though the Emperor is no longer in the army, all the departments of the Hong Army now uphold the style of His Majesty the Emperor, and always give priority to formulating some methods of warfare that seem to others to be intrigues.

The task of this assault was naturally handed over to Jiang Wei's Ninth Division *************** orderly. This unit is still an all-cold weapon unit, and hand-to-hand combat is their forte, and it is the only thing they can do.

This army is all Xiliang soldiers, they are different from the tigers and leopards who came out of Chang'an City, most of them have nothing to do with the soldiers and civilians in the city, so let them fight against the Wei army in Chang'an City, they don't have a little psychological burden.

In fact, instead of being psychologically burdened, they were faintly excited. In history, the Western Liang soldiers entered the Guanzhong and the Central Plains many times, first following Dong Zhuo, then followed Li Dao Guo Yan, and finally followed Ma Chao, these Western Liang soldiers swept the world and became famous.

Now, they also have the opportunity to enter Guanzhong like their predecessors and attack the famous city and imperial capital of Chang'an, which is a very exciting thing to think about.

Now that the Ninth Division has become a member of the Hong Army, of course Zhang Bao will not let them be cannon fodder, and will not let them climb the city wall like in the past when they were cold weapons, risking the enemy's arrows and rolling stones.

Their 1st Division would use artillery fire to clear and suppress the Wei army on the city wall, paving the way for the 9th Division to ascend to the city. For the first time, the two units cooperated in the operation, and many details still needed to be gradually improved, and many places still needed to be run-in, and a group of officers gathered in the tent, and even dinner and supper were solved in the tent, and they discussed overnight.

And in Chang'an City, many people also have insomnia tonight. Cao Pi, the last emperor who was in constant fear, didn't talk about it for the time being, but those diehards couldn't sleep tonight.

The reason they couldn't sleep was because they both received a letter. A letter that suddenly appeared in their study or at the bedside without being delivered by the concierge. No one knows how the letter came about, and in broad daylight, so many family members were stunned that no one saw when someone sneaked into the house, put down the letter, and then left safely.

Those who knew were secretly frightened and were scared out of a cold sweat. Die-hard officials are generally people with relatively old qualifications, and they are also in high positions in the DPRK and China. Such big officials are naturally big families, their homes occupy a large area, and there are many servants, nurses and even private soldiers.

The person who sent the letter was able to avoid so many family members, and accurately find the master's study or bedroom, which is not simple in itself, and after the letter was released, he could still avoid everyone, and then sneak out of the house, there is no doubt that these people are all high-ranking people.

Many people think that since these people can send them letters without knowing it, is it also a simple thing to want to remove their heads without knowing it?

Just a letter, why do they think so pessimistic? I can't help but think otherwise, because this letter is not a letter of persuasion, let alone a letter of heartfelt feelings between friends, it is a threatening letter from Chi Guoguo.

The letter was indeed given to them by Zhang Bao, but it was not a simple persuasion, the letter said that let them change their position, not to insist on fighting to the death, but to join the ranks of persuading Cao Pi to surrender, otherwise, they would definitely kill their entire family, and wipe out their entire clan.

This is a more serious and terrifying punishment than the "Nine Clans"! Those officials who received the letter could hardly believe that it was from the Shu state, which had always prided itself on being "benevolent". However, they didn't think that "benevolence" is the signboard of Liu~'s~father~son, when did Zhang's father and son talk about "benevolence"?

"Nine clans" refers to relatives in general. However, the various theories of the "nine clans" are not the same, and there are generally two theories: one refers to the great-great-grandson from the top to the great-grandson, that is, the great-grandson, the great-grandson, the still grandson (from the eighth grandson of the second generation is still the grandson), the son, the self, the father, the grandfather, the great-grandfather, and the great-grandfather;

Another theory is that the father is four, the mother is three, and the wife is two. The fourth patriarchal family refers to the son of the aunt (the aunt's child), the son of the sister (nephew), the son of the daughter (grandson), and the same clan (parents, brothers, sisters, children), the third maternal clan refers to the father-in-law (maternal grandfather), the mother's mother (maternal grandmother), and the mother and son (maternal uncle), and the second maternal family refers to the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

That is to say, the so-called "Zhujiu Clan" basically killed their own relatives, and these relatives are not too distant, and they are basically relatives who usually move around closely.

However, now Zhang Bao's statement in the letter is different, he wants to kill the clan. A clan is a group of people who share a common ancestor, usually in the same settlement, forming a large settlement. The clan is a large ethnic group, and its population can be thousands of times larger than that of the "Nine Clans".

The population of a clan can often reach several thousand, and some wealthy families even have tens of thousands of people. China has been a patriarchal society since ancient times, and clans play a very important role in China's social structure.

These diehard officials all have a famous family behind them without exception, the reason is very simple, the people who can be officials in the Three Kingdoms era are basically people from famous families, and it is difficult for people from poor backgrounds to have a bright future.
