PS: Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

At that time, the most prosperous and wealthy cities and villages in the most central and fertile land of Bayuan were repeatedly looted by various forces and almost turned into ruins. In addition, the Shikoku clan occupied their own territories in the surrounding areas that were not affected by much war, while the Bamuro Kingdom was rebuilt from the ruins. Therefore, when it comes to war, the people of Bamuro think of the fact that the enemy has looted and destroyed their homes.

The history of the ethnic groups passed down from the oral tradition of the ancestors has become a common psychological imprint, and the repeated proclamation of this history to the people of various places over the years has not only established enough prestige for the ancestors of the past dynasties, but also strengthened the psychological memory of each ethnic group. Therefore, under the premise of sufficient logistical preparations and high administrative efficiency, the people learned that the national war was about to start, and the speed of the national mobilization was also extremely fast.

The information obtained by other countries in Ba Yuan is that the country of Ba Mu has raised a large army to the south, and almost every city has military formations and materials transferred out. Under such circumstances, how could Zheng Muroguo not panic? At the same time, the prime minister was overjoyed when he was poor.

......

When Huwa left Shanchuan City and headed north, she saw the military formations mobilized by various city outlines along the way. In fact, which military formations were temporarily expanded, and which ones were drawn from the garrison formations in the city outline, Huwa can be seen by paying close attention. Almost half of these formations went to the border of the Zheng Dynasty, and the other half were deployed at various other fortifications along the border.

Of course, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the elite field operations who persist in long-term training, but as long as they are properly organized and trained, they can still play a great role in the defense of positions. If the elite army is victorious and advances, these army formations can also follow up with the situation in the newly occupied city to maintain order, pacify the people, and consolidate the rear.

Huwa couldn't help but think of the time when in Baixi Village, Lingbao temporarily organized the villagers to train a spear battle array, and relied on the wall to withstand the attack of the elite military formation converted into Liukou. Shaowu's idea of mobilizing the whole country to prepare for the war is actually in line with what Lingbao did in Baixi Village, but the small Baixi Village has been replaced by a large Bamuro country. And Shaowu also has an elite army in his hands that can attack.

It is no wonder that after listening to Huwa's introduction, Shaowu admires Lingbao very much, not because Lingbao's practices are unthinkable, but precisely because of the consistency of its strategic thinking.

Lingbao has the same strategic thinking as Shaowu, and he can organize and implement it quickly under such difficult circumstances, which monarch doesn't want to have such a chief general under his command?

The chariots and horses on the road were not all marching to the south, and Huwa also saw a lot of convoys heading north, and they should be the people who went to the cities to recruit and transport military supplies. To sustain a big war, logistics support personnel responsible for baggage supplies. In fact, several times more than the number of full-fledged combatants.

In the ranks of unarmed people, Huwa found the real field elite army formation in the country. The men and armor were separated, and they disguised themselves as civilian men and marched north to assemble on the border of the Prime Minister's Country, and when they arrived at the predetermined place, they put on their armor and lined up, like a large army that suddenly appeared. The light goes to the south, the darkness goes to the north, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual, this is the plan of Shaowu.

......

There are two other countries in Ba Yuan that have also issued general mobilization orders for war, namely Zheng Mulu and Xiangmuro. Zheng Muruguo's war mobilization was obviously slower than that of Ba Muruguo, and it only began after the capture of Baiguo City by the army. And it is far less efficient than in Bamuro, and many people even resist it, because it comes with a series of shocking news.

First of all, Zheng Murokook's secret dispatch of people to infiltrate Shanchuan City to assassinate Shaowu and slaughter the caravan was revealed, although in private Zheng Gu had a thousand reasons to get rid of Shaowu. But this matter is morally untenable. Immediately afterwards, people heard that Bai Boyi, the lord of Baiguo City, was angry and led the crowd to break into the Ba Mu Kingdom to attack the military camp, but he was captured, and the Ba Mu Country could not bear it anymore and launched a counterattack and captured Bai Guo City as a punishment.

Then the people in various parts of the Zheng Mur Kingdom learned that the Ba Mur Kingdom had ceased war. The army was only deployed on the front line of Yuping Mountain and did not move forward, and at the same time sent envoys to Zheng Muguo, not only to question Zheng Gu but also to negotiate. That's exactly what happened. The mobilization order issued by the monarch Zheng Gu reached all the cities, declaring that the Bamuro country would raise troops to invade and the people of the country should rise up against the enemy.

Some news that Zheng Muguo would not openly publicize to the cities, but it spread faster than the general mobilization order issued by Zheng Gu, and it was known by the people in the cities in advance.

Many people in the Zheng Dynasty learned of the cause and effect of the incident and felt that there was no need to escalate the situation and turn the conflict into a national war. Originally, Zheng Jun was the first to lose, and it was also appropriate for the young man to ask Zheng Gu to give an explanation, and if it was said that the border conflict, it was also provoked by Bai Boyi, the city lord of Baiguo City.

Now that the country has ceased fighting and is asking for negotiations, it is time to negotiate first and end this conflict at the lowest cost. In fact, many forces in the Zheng State do not want to really fight with the Ba State State, and looking at the current situation, Zheng Muguo is already very passive in terms of strategy.

As the monarch, Zheng Gu of course knew that even if he wanted to negotiate with Ba Muru, it was impossible not to prepare for a national war. It is necessary to let the other side know that even if it can win the national war, it will have to pay a huge price, so as to strive for the most favorable negotiation conditions possible. Before the envoys of the Bamuro Kingdom arrived, Zheng Gu also sent envoys to the Silk State and the Xiangmuro Kingdom, as well as Wufuqiu and Meng Yingqiu, to ask the neighboring countries and the two major sect forces to mediate.

Wufu Hill was the closest, and the envoy was driven down the mountain when he went, and Jian Sha replied: "Wufu Hill is a place of cultivation outside the world, and I don't want to interfere in the struggle of the descendants of Yanzhao." After the disciple descends the mountain, what he does in various countries, as long as it does not violate the rules of the door, has nothing to do with Wufuqiu. However, Zheng Gu, as the monarch of the country, committed this unrighteous act, sent people to assassinate the old man's personal disciples, and caused the death of innocent people. If Wufuqiu does not come forward, he will also come forward to find the murderer and settle the account!"

The fateful evil sent someone to reply: "Meng Yingqiu has been a sect for hundreds of years, and I think that when the Bayuan civil strife was in the past, it was a place to avoid disasters outside the world, and the army did not cross the border against Meng Yingqiu, and Meng Yingqiu did not interfere in wars and disputes. If the monarch has done something unrighteous in the first place, he can apologize to the country of Bamuro and compensate him, and how to grasp it is up to the monarch to decide for himself. The implication is that Zheng Deserves it now, and Meng Yingqiu has no intention of mediating.

As for the neighboring Silk Country, he also replied to Zheng Gu: "Shaowu is just venting his anger for a while, and Zheng Jun should also know what he is missing, if he doesn't want to fight, he will negotiate with the good students of the Ba Mu Country." Now that the national war has not yet started, how can we mediate? There is another matter I would like to ask Zheng Jun, why did he claim that the murderer came from our country when he plotted to assassinate Shao Wu that day? If the truth is not known, those who are invaded by the army today may be in our country!"

When Zheng Guo received the report from the envoy, he knew that the country would not come forward to mediate for the time being, and perhaps he was eager for the country to fight with the country of Zheng, and the bigger the fight, the better! When the country really had the possibility of intervening, it was the time when the final victory or defeat of the war would be decided, and it would either attack the country or take advantage of the opportunity to invade the country of Zheng and take advantage.

Zheng Quan also sent an envoy with a batch of heavy gifts, lowered his posture and sent them to the monarch of the Silk State in the name of asking for help, and bribed the important ministers of the Silk State in the court, hoping to temporarily stabilize the Silk State.

As for the prime minister's monarch, after receiving Zheng Muguo's request for help, he promised to mediate, but he also sent someone to tell Zheng Gu's envoy: "What Zheng Jun has done, Shaowu will inevitably be angry, and now he only occupies Baiguo City and truces the army, waiting for Zheng Jun to confess his guilt." If Zheng Jun and Shaowu start a big war, Xiangmuro Guo can't bear to see it, and he may send troops to mediate at that time. ”

......

Xiang Qian replied to Zheng Gu like this, but before Zheng Muguo's envoy came, Xiang Muguo had already issued a general mobilization order for the war, even earlier than Zheng Muruguo.

Xiang Poor first received the first news, which was the truth of last year's assassination incident from Shanchuan Castle, and he was immediately overjoyed. As the monarch, he saw very clearly that such an incident was publicly interrogated in front of the people, which meant to tell the world, and this was definitely not something that Hanxiong, the city lord, could decide, but must be at the behest of Shaowu.

Shaowu did not choose to send an envoy to question Zheng Gu first after getting the evidence, but first made it public among the people, so there must be a war against Zheng Muguo, otherwise even the people in the country will not be able to agree, and it will also affect Shaowu's prestige as a monarch. As for the actual scale of this national war, it depends on what preparations Zheng Muroguo has made, and what is Zheng Stock's negotiation attitude?

If Zheng Gu is well prepared and expresses his willingness to apologize and compensate at a great price, then the war will not be fought. But the more this is the case, the more convenient it is for the two sides to gather heavy troops on the border to prevent the other side from sneaking attack. According to the information obtained, Bamuroguo has sent a heavy army to the south, and he will not stop until Zheng Muroguo pays a huge price.

Although he could not monitor all the movements in the cities, if Xiangmuro raised troops to attack the Bamuro country, he would enter from the military town of Ryoma City, and all the situations on the line from Wangqiu City to Batu City would be of great concern to Xiangqiang.

On this day, Xiang Qian personally came to the official office of Bingzheng Dacong and discussed with the ministers in the back hall. They are all standing, around a huge woodcut map. This huge map of Ba Yuan is very similar to the one that General Takefu left on the Takefu Hill, and since ancient times, there have been people in the Xiangmuro Kingdom who have returned from the main peak of the Takefu Hill, and of course the most detailed map of Ba Yuan printed in the Yuan Shen also brought it back, and then carved it here.

Although this picture does not have the idea of the gods left by the general Takefu, it is more accurate than the huge picture 500 years ago, and many new city outlines, villages, roads, and bridges have been marked. (To be continued......)
