On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

With the official beginning of spring, all things rejuvenate, weeds, dead trees, began to grow continuously, green and lush, and the heaven and earth seemed to be filled with endless vitality in an instant.

But relatively speaking, the Central Plains is in a scuffle at this moment.

Zhaoming Pavilion was silent.

Only the sound of footsteps in and out, and the sound of brushing and grinding, everyone seems to be very busy, Mu Jing is also very busy, as a lord, if he wants to know the world without going out, he has to work harder, and there are almost endless books to read every day.

It's better now, many things can't be dealt with, and they can be handed over directly to the Minister of Politics, Xi Zhicai, Hu Zhao, Liu Jin, Qin Song, there will be two hours every day, on duty in Zhaoming Pavilion.

In the Zhaoming Pavilion, six more side compartments have been set up as a place for them to participate in politics, and more than a dozen scribes have been selected from outside to supplement the staffing of the Zhaoming Pavilion.

The current Zhaoming Pavilion, as the center of the Minghou Mansion, can be regarded as having a good appearance.

"Lord, I just sent back the news from Nanyang, Lu Bu has withdrawn his troops!" A sound of footsteps sounded, and Tan Zong walked in quickly from the outside, walked up to the main hall, and reported directly to Mu Jing.

"Withdrawn?"

Mu Jing raised his head slightly, looking a little surprised.

Lu Bu occupies the northern frontier of Nanyang, which is a hard bone, if Guanzhong wants to go to war, then relatively speaking, it is also a matter of course for the state army to attack Nanyang, he has always been worried that Nanyang will become a battlefield.

But now Lu Bu suddenly withdrew his troops, which was somewhat unexpected to him.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Where are they retreating?" ”

"Yingchuan!"

"If you want to say that you want to withdraw your troops, it is best to return to Guanzhong, and now if you don't return to Guanzhong and go to Yingchuan, that is what it means to go north to Tiger Prison Pass!" Mu Jing squinted, his eyes flashing: "That's fine, isolating the war from Nanyang is a good thing for Nanyang!" ”

"Keep watching!"

Mu Jing said to Tan Zong: "In addition, I am touching the current situation in Henan and Yan Prefectures, and looking at the situation of all parties sending troops, I want a clear report, and I must be clear about the deployment of troops!" ”

"Yes!"

Tan Zong received the order and limped away.

"Someone!"

"In!" A young man gave up his hand.

He is Jiang Wan.

After Jiang Lu died, Jiang Wan was still young, and Mu Jing took the initiative to adopt, but he was dedicated to studying and did not return to the school for many years.

This year, he graduated from Hongdu Gate School, and he is the one who has studied for the longest time in Hongdu Gate School, but he is very young, and he is only in his early teens now, and his career is still early.

But Mu Jing made an exception and let him enter the Zhaoming Pavilion and become a small scribe, the kind that runs errands.

The environment here helps to enhance his overall vision.

"Go and invite Hu Changshi, Xi Sima, and Master Liu!"

"No!"

Jiang Wan moved quickly, and invited several people to the lobby of Zhaoming Pavilion.

Mu Jing got straight to the point: "A certain is ready to inspect Nanyang!" ”

"Inspect Nanyang?"

Xi Zhicai and the others glanced at each other and frowned a little.

"Lord, Nanyang is still a dangerous place, and a big war may break out at any time, so it's not safe at this time!" Hu Zhao advised.

"Lu Bu has withdrawn his troops, went north to Yuzhou, and went straight to Yingchuan!"

"Even so, at this time, Nanyang is not very stable!"

"I've gone to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I can't go to this place in Nanyang!" Mu Jing shook his head and said, "We owe Nanyang too much, I always have to give an explanation, and ......"

After a pause, he said: "From Nanyang, I will go directly to Hanzhong, I am not at ease in this battle, I have to go to the front line to see, rest assured, I will not supervise the battle, just take a look!" ”

"When does the lord plan to leave?" Qin Song didn't have so much consideration from Hu Zhao, so he asked directly.

"After March!"

Mu Jing said: "I will give you enough time to prepare, this time may take half a year, so the affairs of the Minghou Mansion have to be taken care of by you!" ”

"Now that the lord has a resolution, I don't object to it, now Nanyang, it is true that the lord needs to personally encourage the people, so as to be more stable, but on the front line, the lord still has to be careful!"

Hu Zhao advised: "Now the lord is responsible for tens of millions of people, the stability of Yizhou depends on the safety of the lord, for the sake of the Ming Marquis, for the sake of Yizhou, the lord can not be in danger at any time!" ”

"I know!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "I rarely do anything to risk my life now, I have my responsibility, I know very well, there are some dangers, you can't take them!" ”

"Since the lord is worried about the northern frontier, why don't I go north in person!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it and said.

"Not for now!" Mu Jing said to Xi Zhicai: "Your target is still over there, Northern Xinjiang, just hand it over to Huang Zhong Chen Palace and them to plan, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it doesn't involve our territory, there is no need to increase troops, just fight according to the current strength, it is naturally best to take Liangzhou, even if you can't take it, it doesn't matter, as for Guanzhong, it's too hot, for now, even if I defeat Dong Zhuo, I don't even want to go in Chang'an, and winning the Son of Heaven is a trouble for us, not an advantage." ”

He is not Cao Cao, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there are pros and cons, this disadvantage is placed on him, it is more obvious, in the current environment, he is not to kill Liu Xie, he cannot be scolded, and he cannot be invited.

As for the side he was talking about, it was Jingzhou.

The plot against Jingzhou did not happen overnight.

Now Yizhou is stable, there is no chaos in the south, there are enough troops, the year before last year and last year were bumper harvests, the grain and grass are sufficient, it can definitely be regarded as a soldier with sufficient food, with the progress of the Jiangzhou shipbuilding workshop, the continuous mass production of double-tooth warships, the main force of the Jingping Water Division began to be armed.

Jingzhou's plot can also be put on the agenda.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Central Plains War, Mujing would have prepared to start the battle against Jingzhou this year.

For this reason, he also sent an envoy to visit Jiangdong, preparing to join forces with Jiangdong and eat Jingzhou.

However, Huangfu Song's sudden arrival basically disrupted the wishful thinking of all the princes in the world, at this time, no matter who it was, the target was on the battlefield in Guanzhong, even Mu Jing had to send troops to support.

Therefore, the battle of Jingzhou has to be postponed.

Postponement, does not mean no war, but has more time to prepare, once the war starts, it will be a thunderstorm, and Jingzhou will never be given half a chance to breathe.

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai nodded.

His recent task is to formulate a plan for the battle against Jingzhou, and arrange the prelude to the battle of Jingzhou, there are not many things, and if Huang Zhong Mujing is not in Jiangzhou, then Jiangzhou City needs a backbone in charge of the army, and he will definitely not be able to leave. ”

"Kong Ming, after I go to Nanyang, you still need to pay more attention to this Minghou Mansion, many plans are not as good as changes, and establish the system of Zhaoming Pavilion Participating Ministers, I hope that even if I am not in Jiangzhou City, Zhaoming Pavilion can control the Quartet!"

"Don't worry, your subordinates will do their best to defend the Minghou Mansion!" Hu Zhao nodded, Mu Jing often couldn't sit still, he was used to staying to see the family, and his age had also come up, he really couldn't do Mu Jing Xizhi like this, he could fight in all directions, and if he could do a good job, he was optimistic about this family.

"Yokoto!"

"In!" Qin Song looked up.

He is the most inconspicuous of the ministers in politics, and for him, as long as he does not involve matters within the scope of other people's powers, many of them do not speak, and sometimes even express their positions, they abstain from voting.

But as one of the few ministers of the Zhaoming Pavilion, he has his own abilities.

"Last year's time was too tight, even if Dong Cao tried his best to inspect the officials, the scope of what could be done was not large, and this year, relatively speaking, Dong Cao's task was heavier!"

Mu Jing said to Qin Song: "Our Minghou Mansion has not been based for a long time, and it is not short, there is no need to continue to fill the number indiscriminately, some unqualified officials, it is really not good, then it can be eliminated directly, you can directly use new people, Hongdumen learned from Hanzhong, and it has been some years, and there are a lot of talents, these scholars, it will not be like Shilin Most of those people hate us, available, bold use!" ”

"No!"

"Master Liu!"

"In!"

"The development of the Department of Education should be grasped and directly enter the second planning stage!"

"Yes!" Liu Jin nodded.

The first stage, when Cai Yong was still in Jiangzhou, more than half of it had been realized, and now it has basically been completed.

The second stage of development is to ensure that each county has a primary school, a county has an intermediate school, and in Yizhou, at least five high-level schools comparable to Hongdu Gate School will be established.

This is a plan for the great development of education, which will inevitably cost a lot of manpower and material resources of the Minghou Mansion.

But if Mujing wants to develop, he must grit his teeth and support such a big plan.
