Chapter 20 The First Battle is the Final War
Regarding Da Sima Xindu's worries, Xin Wu seemed very calm: "Since Da Sima is worried, then we will quickly resolve the battle - I will personally lead the personal soldiers under my command, cut the generals and capture the flag, and directly capture the rebels entrenched in Shu and Yan Prefectures!" ”
Hearing Xin Wu's words, Da Sima Xindu couldn't help frowning and scolded: "On the battlefield, you can't be careless at any time, let alone despise any enemy!" ”
"It's not that I despise the rebels, it's because they can't help fighting, and before I can warm up, the other side has already fallen!"
Xin Wu sighed lightly with a little headache and said,
"It's hard to fight with the rebels' most capable of fighting the 'old three armies', but the original army master on the opposite side is directly instigated, and if he doesn't fight, he will retreat to the '100,000 mountains', and even hesitate to be with the demon clan...... Can such an 'old army' really make me enjoy the war? ”
For Xin Wu with such an attitude, Da Sima Xin was really annoyed, and immediately scolded: "On the battlefield, you have this mentality, not to mention, from the perspective of the other party's arrangement, our opponent this time is not a general, plus the other party put the death of the original army master on our body, and vigorously publicized, creating an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred - mourning soldiers will win, in this atmosphere, what kind of combat power can the 'old three armies' play, even I can't figure it out, you dare to look down on the enemy?" ”
After hearing Da Sima Xindu's reprimand, Xin Wu's face not only did not have the slightest resentment or dissatisfaction, but even vaguely revealed a trace of excitement: "What does Da Sima mean is that the one who recently took over the 'Old Third Army' is a strong enemy?" So...... That's great! ”
"Smack!"
Looking at Xin Wu with this expression, how did the great Sima Xin not know his intentions? Immediately, he couldn't help but pat his forehead......

……
At the same time, the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the middle of Kyoto.
Since the head of the household department, Lu Filling, has been "temporarily begging for bones", and the head of the household department, Lu Filling, can be regarded as "temporarily stepping down", so the post of the head of the household secretary has been temporarily vacant.
Therefore, in order to make the financial work of the Great Zhou run normally, Zhou Ninghao originally planned to choose one of the four Shangshulang under the jurisdiction of the Hubu Shangshu to temporarily take the post of Shangshu, but he did not want to, and the four Shangshulang refused to take over the post of Shangshu on the grounds of illness, broken leg, or mourning, or old age and infirmity, and it was difficult to take on heavy responsibilities.
Zhou Ninghao saw this, why didn't he understand what they meant?
They are clearly already standing in line!
What can Zhou Ninghao do about this?
can only tearfully use the ability to edit entries in the mirror, and re-edit a household official for himself, and let him temporarily take over the post of household secretary.
Originally, Zhou Ninghao still thought that although the resources have begun to increase now, the places in the province still need to be saved, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Ninghao did not edit the entry at the first time, but thought about letting other officials temporarily replace him, and then wait until he meets a suitable candidate for the household department in the future.
But I don't want to, the cost of editing the entry of [Household Official] has not been saved after all.

……
On the other side, the Praetorian Guard led by the Great Sima Xindu and the "Old Third Army" under the command of General Han and Xiao Revenge conducted a battle that could be called a decisive battle between the two sides.
When Da Sima Xin reprimanded Xin Wu before, he showed his attention to the "Old Third Army" led by General Han and Xiao Revenge, and it was precisely because of this importance that Da Sima Xin thought that the best time to eliminate the "Old Third Army" was the first battle!
That is, the so-called - "the first battle is the final battle"!
The reason why Da Sima Xindu thought that the first battle was the best time to solve the "Old Three Army" was because Da Sima knew that although the current "Old Three Army" could be regarded as elite, it was only for other rebels or ordinary officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou.
For the Great Zhou Praetorian Guard, which is neatly armored, neatly groomed, and powerful, today's "Old Third Army" is really not enough.
It is precisely because of this that Da Sima Xin believes that the "old three armies" cannot be given the opportunity to train and develop, and that their own side should decide the battle against them!
Otherwise, if this battle turns into a protracted war in the end, then I am afraid that I will not be able to destroy all the rebels in a short time, and if I can't destroy all the rebels in a short time, I will have to spend time with the rebels.
This is obviously unbearable for the great Sima Xindu, who now wants to end the battle as soon as possible and return to the capital to sit down.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the victory rate or from the purpose of returning to the capital as soon as possible, Da Sima Xin must end this war as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of this that after finding out the location of the rebel "Old Third Army", the Great Sima Xin immediately launched a general attack on it.
And General Han, the commander of the "Old Third Army" who has the same strategic idea as Da Sima Xindu, and Da Sima also set the strategic policy of "the first battle is the final war"!
Unlike the Great Sima Xin, who was worried about the training of the "Old Third Army" and wanted to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, the reason why General Han set the strategic policy of "the first battle is the final battle" was because General Han believed that the morale of the "Old Third Army" now hating the same enemy lies in the result of his deliberate guidance after he detained the black pot of the death of the former master of the "Old Third Army" on the body of the Great Sima Xindu.
In addition, General Han is also worried that the big Sima Xin will spread the truth about the death of the former army leader Huang San'er in the barracks of the "Old Third Army" - although most people should not believe the words of the enemy, but he took over the "Old Third Army" is full of doubts, and the smart people in the "Old Third Army" think about it a little, and it is not difficult to guess that it is greasy, so it will inevitably affect the morale and combat power of the "Old Third Army"!
In addition, although some businessmen who did not want to die sold grain and grass materials to the "old three armies", they were limited after all, and it was not good for them to delay time.
More importantly, General Han, who was well aware of the strength of the Great Zhou Praetorian Guard, was worried that too many tentative contact battles would make the soldiers of the "Old Third Army" realize the gap in combat strength between the two sides, and would lose the morale of their own soldiers...... But the battle is decided!
