In the end, Chen Xin still couldn't ask Anya what she was worried about and why she had to go to work.

However, Chen Xin was still persuaded by Anya, since she asked for it strongly, it would be good to meet her, anyway, a decision had already been made, and Anya was the biggest today.

Turning around and going to the office, he began to work on the work papers that had been accumulated for the day, and resumed the scheduled meetings with the people who asked for them.

While reviewing the documents sent by various departments and the various resolutions made by the cabinet, Chen Xin casually read the words in the places where there were no problems, and wrote his opinions on the documents that he thought were wrong.

At the same time, he began to summon the relevant personnel who were going to report to him one by one.

These reporters are generally not the heads of various departments, but their deputies, which is Chen Xin's request, because he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know his subordinates and see if there are any talents that can be created.

Although it is impossible to see anything on the side, there are still things that can be seen in the face of some small obstacles deliberately created by Chen Xin.

The first thing to see, of course, is the person in charge of the military department. After all, the kingdom pursues a military-first strategy.

The secretary put the information of the meeting personnel in front of Chen Xin, and after he had a preliminary understanding of the courtiers to be met, Chen Xin motioned for the people to be let in.

"Your Majesty." A minute later, a middle-aged man in a military uniform with his disarming belt standing in front of Chen Xin's desk and standing up and saluting.

"Sit down and talk." Chen Xin beckoned the manservant to serve tea.

When the tea was served, he put down a document in his hand and said to the official, "Don't be too restrained, I remember that your ancestral home is Jiangsu." ”

The officer raised his head excitedly and looked at Chen Xin, "That's right, the minister is indeed from Jiangsu." The king actually knows the origin of his subordinates, and the ministers are really flattered. As he spoke, he straightened his chest proudly.

Chen Xin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, this is not serving tea to send guests, as the king of a country, he does not need to personally issue an eviction order, once he makes a gesture, there will naturally be a secretary to handle this kind of thing.

So, it's really just a cup of tea.

After taking a look at the tea leaves in the bowl, and finding that there was no mistake, Chen Xin smiled and said, "Your mouth is good, try this Yangxian tea, this batch of tea has just been sent below, you know, this is the famous tea of your hometown, Daming is now in turmoil, this kind of good tea is getting more and more difficult to get." ”

The officer's excited hands began to tremble slightly, "Minister, thank you, Your Excellency." After he took a sip slowly, he said with a little excitement, "This, this is the Yangxian tea in Chenchangzhou's hometown, which is really rare." ”

Chen Xin smiled with satisfaction, he was no longer the hot-blooded young man at the beginning of the crossing, the butt decided the head, when he came to a certain position, in order to grasp the power in his hands, he naturally learned to play tricks.

As the king of the United Kingdom of China, he is now also familiar with and improving his royal methods.

Not to the tigers, but to those natural people. After all, Tiger Ben's loyalty does not need to be questioned, and he does not need to worry about it. Only a natural person needs him to play tricks to win people's hearts.

It doesn't take much effort, but it works. Looking at the officer in front of him, you can see how useful this method is in this feudal era.

It's just that the means serve the end, and he doesn't often or unprincipledly play with this kind of cleverness, these are just some kind of attempts he makes.

It's not anyone's worth playing tricks. The courtiers who can be manipulated by him are at least the talents who are valued by him and are ready to take on important tasks.

After a few words of greeting, and after evaluating the effect, and feeling that it was almost over, Chen Xin changed the topic and asked about the matter.

"To what extent has the battle in the Shangjing area been?"

After hearing Chen Xin's inquiry, the officer sitting opposite hurriedly put down the tea in his hand, stood up and reported, "The progress is good, although the counterattack of the Houjin army has been greatly enhanced, but the run-in between the troops on the front line is very good, and the battle is much smoother. ”

Chen Xin nodded, made a note in his notebook, and then ordered, "Very good, let the General Staff continue to follow up and do a good job of command and coordination."

However, while paying attention, it is also necessary to give the front-line commanders a certain amount of freedom, as I said, this is a military training.

You must know that opponents who have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, but are not too strong, are not easy to find, so let them not waste it. ”

The officer also recorded Chen Xin's instructions, and then asked, "Understood, may I ask, do you have any other instructions?" ”

Chen Xin thought for a moment, took out the memo and looked at it, and then asked, "How is the combat readiness of the third stage?" ”

"Our army has stockpiled about 15,000 rounds of artillery shells of various calibers in the arsenal near the port of Uiju, which can be loaded and shipped to the battlefield at any time as long as the king gives the order.

However, the investigation of the target area has reached a stalemate for the time being.

So far, we have not been able to thoroughly grasp the specific distribution and troop configuration of the Houjin Tartar army there. ”

Chen Xin looked at the officer in surprise, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Why is this happening?" We have an air reconnaissance force, a special service regiment, a ranger regiment, a mountain observation unit, and so on and so on and so on a large number of elite or technologically superior teams.

In such a situation, how can it not even be detected by the military intelligence of the Tartars? There had never been a military deployment that we had not been able to detect before. ”

"It's an accident that the king is angry.

During the Battle of the Daling River this time, there were too many trenches dug by the Houjin side. Added up, there are five trenches more than three meters wide, plus several slightly smaller ditches.

The Tartars set up their barracks between the ditches, and the Baoyi and Aha, as well as the ordinary Mongol servants, lived in the trenches.

With so many trenches, criss-crossed and criss-crossed, it was extremely easy to hide troops and launch attacks. Our Sky Scouting Force cannot directly observe what's going on inside the sinuous and twisted trenches.

The sky force could not detect it, so we naturally sent a ground reconnaissance force, and the ground reconnaissance force was a little powerless in the face of more than 50,000 Tartar cavalry.

The enemy's sentinels spread far away, and as soon as our troops approached, these Houjin scouts would gather their accomplices.

Several confrontations broke out between the enemy and us, and our reconnaissance troops, even if they solved the periphery of the enemy, could only flee in confusion under the continuous onslaught of the enemy's superior number of cavalry.

Therefore, so far, the progress of our reconnaissance mission has been very unsatisfactory. ”

Chen Xin put down the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "So, does the General Staff have a corresponding plan?" What are you going to do to turn the situation around? ”

The officer said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we haven't made a new plan yet, and tomorrow, we will hold a combat meeting to agree on the next thing." ”

"Okay, the matter is left to you, and after you have a conclusion, remember to send a copy of the minutes of the meeting to this king."

"Yes."

Chen Xin instructed the secretary beside him: "Wrap a pack of Yangxian tea." Then he turned his head to the officer and said, "When you leave for a while, bring a bag of tea back, although you can't go back to your hometown, but you can taste the local products of your hometown, which can be regarded as a little relief from homesickness." ”

"Minister, thank you."

Chen Xin made a gesture, and the secretary on the side stepped forward to send the officer out.
