Chapter 238: Cao Cao and Sun Jian discuss Xu Zhao
Lin Mu came to Juzhang County to see how the military arrangements are here. Recommended: Huangquan Road Inspiration's new work "One Piece: Bucky" http:///2_2863/ However, what surprised Lin Mu was that there was no! Juzhang County seemed to be like Dongye County in normal times, without any preparation for the coming of war.
Generally speaking, when the city faces the threat of war, it will definitely set up some iron thorns, horse cave traps, tripping horse ropes, etc. not far from the city wall, but Lin Mu did not see any of these traces, so there is a problem!
However, although there was no war preparation, the indigenous pedestrians were very anxious and walked with three steps and two steps, looking hurried.
Lin Mu approached the south city gate and was preparing to pay the entry fee. The entry fee for the Han Dynasty city was not expensive. According to the prosperity of the city, ordinary people could bear it between a few to dozens of copper coins.
However, at this time, there were only twelve veterans guarding listlessly, each row of six people, bored, their armor was worn out, their boots were tattered, and even the guys in their hands were old iron spears, looking like they were insufficient military pay.
He threw five copper coins into the copper coin box with the word "Five" in silence, and walked into Juzhang County with openness.
Lin Mu looked at these veterans carefully and found that there were several soldiers with broken legs, and they were still on duty to defend the city. This left him speechless. Could it be that Xu Zhao had even drawn all the soldiers in Juzhang County?
You have to find the stronghold of the Night Shadow Department to learn about the latest information.
Soon, Lin Mu found a restaurant called [Ye Se Restaurant] on this side of Nancheng. Looking at the new plaque, Lin Mu smiled slightly. With the support of the huge financial resources of the territory, the strongholds of the Night Shadow Department have begun to be fully laid out, which is great!
Lin Mu walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was not big, there were only twelve seats, four rows and three rows. On the right side of the door was the shop counter, which was quaint.
There were no customers in the evening tavern. It seemed that Juzhang City was a bit loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but it wasn't right. If it was tight on the inside, it would be dispatched to guard the city gate and strictly restrict entry and exit from the city. Patrol soldiers would also continue to patrol to prevent being captured by the enemy from the inside.
The wine shops usually receive drinkers or rangers, and now there is no customer, so some changes have taken place in Juzhang County.
As soon as Lin Mu appeared, a middle-aged shopkeeper wearing a cloth hat immediately came over and asked with a smile: "Mr. General, don't you know if you are drinking or having a meal?"
Lin Mu dressed up as a military man, and he was called a general by some merchants.
Lin Mu did not answer immediately, but looked around and said, "I drink wine, drink wine in my hometown!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression tightened and asked quickly: "What is the wine from his hometown?"
"Wine without regrets!" Lin Mu said softly, with a little remembrance.
"Please please, the wine in my hometown is ready!" The shopkeeper was happy and hurriedly took Lin Mu to the back hall.
"Today, the commander of Tianjia Thirty-nine Commander told us to pay attention to drinking wine from our hometown. If the wine lover appears, he will bring him to the back hall. It seems that this person is the one who commander of the commander is going to wait." The middle-aged shopkeeper thought to himself.
When he arrived at the back hall, the shopkeeper knocked on the door lightly, and a question came from the door: "Is there anything wrong?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately said respectfully: "Sir, the guest who drinks the wine of no regrets in his hometown is here! It's right outside the door."
"Oh, okay, you go down, I'll be there next." Another voice came from the door.
"Yes!" The middle-aged shopkeeper walked away with a tactful look. He was a member of the Yellow Division of the Night Shadow Department and knew the rules.
After the middle-aged shopkeeper left, Lin Mu pushed open the door, and the Thirty-Nine Tianjia inside the door came up and said in surprise: "The lord is finally here! The recent information in Kuaiji County has been summarized, just wait for the lord to check it out!"
The Night Shadow Department does not have too many etiquettes, only rules of doing things. When it comes to meeting their bosses, they will not do a lot of etiquette before talking about things, but will just go straight to the topic!
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, everything happened so suddenly recently. The brothers of the Night Shadow Department must have been working hard every day. After this Xu Zhao incident has passed, I will reward you all!" Lin Mu took a piece of intelligence from Tianjia Thirty-nine, patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"This is what we should do!" Tianjia Thirty-Nine said with a slight smile.
"Okay, you wait a moment. I'll check the recent information first and see how the situation is everywhere else." Lin Mu sat down and buried his head in the information.
Tianjia Thirty-Nine was waiting beside him.
The pages of Qiankun and Zimu are very limited. Even the Night Film Department of an important intelligence agency cannot be equipped with pages, and can only report information in the original way.
This information is a summary of the information in Kuaiji County, which is the country of King Nanzhao.
Lin Mu quickly looked at the front, and three of them are worthy of attention:
First, Sun Jian. At this time, Sun Jian was actually Sima and Fuchun County Magistrate of the Wu County Department of Yangzhou. He led his 400,000 troops to march from the sea on a giant ship. He is currently stationed outside Yuyao County and is in opposition to the defenders in Yuyao City.
Sun Jian's fleet has developed so rapidly. As a super powerful general, Sun Jian is not only a general of the army, but also has unique insights into the construction of the navy. He is also a genius.
Secondly, Lin Mu already knew Cao Cao's identity, but Cao Cao's troops were shocked, and it actually reached one million. Cao Cao's military strength was a half-infantry and half-cavalry configuration, and he was currently stationed outside Zhuji City.
Third, Wang Lang, the magistrate of Pingducheng County, Yuzhang County, Yangzhou, sent 400,000 troops to besiege Wushangcheng.
...
After seeing the information of these three more famous important figures in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Lin Mu was even more sure that Xu Zhao had a huge temptation, which made them swarm like sharks smell blood.
With the Taiping Cult, Kuaiji County is really in chaos.
Lin Mu sighed in his heart. He thought it was an ordinary military operation to wipe out the Longting rebellion. He was preparing to use his merits in this area to strengthen his political and military status, thus laying the foundation for the later Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now it has evolved into a weakened version like the later Han vassals of the Han Dynasty, [The princes attacked Xu Zhao]!
The princes are: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang, Lin Mu, and Taiping Road.
...
In addition to the military operations of these big figures, the Night Shadow Department also found that some of the city guards in Nanzhao Kingdom (Kuaiji County) have been transferred to guard three important fortresses connecting foreign counties: Yuyao City, Zhuji City, and Wushang City.
These three cities are all important roads connecting with other counties.
Yuyao City, located to the north of Nanzhao Kingdom, is connected to Wujun in the north. It is also the only city connected to Wujun. Other cities are blocked by the high rivers.
Zhuji City is located west of Nanzhao Kingdom, connected to Danyang County on the west side, and is also the only channel between Nanzhao Kingdom and Danyang County.
Wushang City, located in the southwest of Nanzhao Kingdom, is the only important road connecting with Yuzhang County.
...
The marching routes of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang and others were arranged based on the external passage of Nan Zhao Kingdom.
Among them, Sun Jian was the main road to attack Yuyao City. If Sun Jian broke through this city, he could march straight into it. He could attack Juzhang City in the east, Zheng County City in the west, and Shangyu City in the west, and then attack Xuzhao's old nest Shanyin Chongcheng.
The attacker of Zhuji City is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao breaks through Zhuji City, goes north and bypasses the west of a huge lake [Jinghu], he can directly attack Shanyin City located on the north side of Jinghu.
As an attacker from the southwest major road, Wang Lang, after breaking through Wushang City, heading north, can bypass the east of Jinghu Lake, directly attack Shangyu with Sun Jian, and then attack the final target Shanyin City; if he goes south, he can attack Taimo City, Zhang'an City, Shan County City, Houguan City, Dongye City and other cities to recover lost territory.
All three of them have their own advantages, and Cao Cao is the closest to Shanyin City; the Yuyao City that Sun Jian attacked was located on the edge of the [Han Yao River], and it needed to use ships and naval forces, and Sun Jian had this advantage; while Wang Lang had his advantage that after breaking through Wushang City, he could directly conquer a large number of lost land in the city and gain merits after breaking through Wushang City.
...
These three parties should be related, otherwise they would not have stationed troops to important fortresses at the same time, putting together military pressure on Xu Zhao, and also handed Xu Zhao the [Prevention of Demonstration], in the name of orthodox world, to fight against unofficial thieves!
Such a rebellion occurred in Yangzhou. I believe that high-ranking officials such as the governor of the state should be blamed by Long Ting. However, the actions of Cao Cao and Sun Jian and others were to give Yangzhou senior officials a booster and a signal of a hidden rule: You don’t have to be afraid, don’t consume the money in your pockets. We can do it as long as we are dispatched, but we have to choose something like baby first.
In the current local governments of the Han Dynasty, the ** trend is prevalent. One county magistrate, one county prefect, and one state governor. They hate it when facing war, because when the war is done, the manpower, material resources and financial resources are consumed, and they are all paying money in their pockets, so of course they are not willing to do so.
Now the behavior of Cao Cao and others is a win-win situation for them! Why not do it? Just give it to them in the name of orthodox. After the war, the city, property, official positions, etc. of a county could make a fortune.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian all went to war with their troops. The merits, items, etc. they obtained were of great autonomy. Although some of them might be confiscated by the government after the war, how could they hand over the most important items in their hands?
The interests are touching. What the super princes such as Cao Cao and Sun Jian want to get must be very important to them. Otherwise, the rebellion of a county would make them lose their troops.
By pushing others by oneself, the actions of Cao Cao and others are completely the military action that Lin Mu wanted to plan.
Lin Mu was thinking about how to get a share of their pie and maximize his interests in this conquest when his strength had not fully reached their level.
Lin Mu touched the county magistrate Juzhang in his arms, frowned and pondered.
