Chapter 683: Changes in the Western Regions
I found out today that Sima Wuchen's two tips have not been thanked, sorry, sorry!! I would like to thank Sima Wuchen for his two tips!!
Sun Jian took a few steps forward, and all the civil and military officers knew that Sun Jian had something to say, so they immediately quieted down, and Sun Jian raised his voice and said: "Shiyuan's plan is very exquisite, which of you is willing to be the envoy of the Han Dynasty to Guishan and Wusun?" ”
Everyone whispered, and then the four young scribes came out and hugged their fists and said, "My lord, I am willing to go!" ”
One of them was the Li Xie who spoke just now, and the other three were all high-spirited.
Sun Jian glanced at the four of them and nodded very gratifyingly: "Okay, just the four of you as the envoys of the Han Dynasty to envoy these two countries!" Go down and get ready! ”
Sun Jian said, and the four of them hugged their fists very excitedly and exited the lobby.
Sun Jian turned his head to Pang Tong and said: "From now to the beginning of spring next year, it will be nearly half a year, Cao Cao and they will not make any more moves!" We can concentrate on rearmament and warfare and at the same time develop the locality, and in addition we should carry out that plan! ”
Pang Tong nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I have already chosen a candidate, and at the same time, I have already made contact with several reliable family masters in Chang'an who hate Cao Cao!" ”
Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" This matter is up to Shi Yuan! ”
Pang Tong hurriedly said: "I deserve it, I don't dare to be the king!" ”
Sun Jian patted Pang Tong's shoulder to show encouragement and appreciation.
Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce and advised: "In the affairs of the army, Bo Fu and the generals should be more careful!" ”
"No!" Sun Ce and Huang Gai will hug their fists together and promise to make a promise.
Cao Cao left the Chibi camp after arranging all the matters, and arrived in Xiangyang two days later. The Xiangyang County Guard led a group of Jingzhou officials out of the city to greet him, most of whom had never met Cao Cao. can't help but look excited:
Cao Cao did not want to interfere too much with the lives of the people of Xiangyang, so he only led a few hundred Imperial Forest Army into the city with the officials who guarded and greeted Xiangyang County.
Cao Cao and others walked on the main road of Xiangyang City. Although the people on the side of the road were very curious about Cao Cao's party, they did not know Cao Cao's identity.
Cao Cao and his entourage returned to the Xiangyang Governance Office, and Cao Cao met with the officials of Xiangyang in the lobby of the county guard mansion as usual, and encouraged everyone.
The next day, Cao Cao left Xiangyang and headed straight for Chang'an, surrounded by thousands of Imperial Forest troops led by Dian Wei.
Cao Cao originally planned to stay in Jingzhou for two days, but because many important military and civil affairs were urgently needed to be dealt with by Cao Cao, Cao Cao decided to leave for the next day.
Cao Cao and his entourage returned to Chang'an a few days later, and once they arrived in Chang'an. Cao Cao received a message from Haidong County, and the situation in Haidong has completely calmed down.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile: "Okay! The situation in Haidong has finally quieted down! By the way, where is the Seventh Legion now? ”’
Xun Yu replied: "The Seventh Army is now in Chongzhou, waiting for further orders from His Majesty. ”
Cao Cao pondered: "The northern states have been under the control of our army for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no problems!" However, in the three prefectures of northern Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, the time of our army's control is still short. There have always been forces against us! We must not take these three states lightly! ”
Xun Yu nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" According to intelligence, people from Wu have appeared in these states! ”
Cao Cao sneered: "They are not our opponents on the frontal battlefield, so they want to find a flaw from within us!" ”
"Your Majesty. Weichen feels that the local army is a very unsafe factor! Xun Yu said worriedly.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although the local army has many problems, they will never be stupid enough to betray us!" Moreover, the adjutant generals we sent have firmly controlled the military power of the local armies everywhere! ”
"Your Majesty. Don't take it lightly! The adjutant generals we have sent must be short of time, and it will be difficult to really control these armies! Wechen thinks. The nearly 200,000 local troops that have already been assembled should be left in the current place, and a few generals should be recognized to take care of them nearby. Don't let them go back to their respective stations! ”
Cao Cao hesitated, he felt that what Xun Yu said made some sense, but the local government couldn't be defended without enough military strength for a long time!
Cao Cao finally chose a compromise plan: "In this way, let some local troops be stationed in their respective stations!" ”
Seeing that Xun Yu was going to persuade again, Cao Cao frowned and said, "Okay! I've decided! I can't do without an army, and I don't think they're going to poke me out of a basket!" ”
Seeing Cao Cao's insistence, Xun Yu had no choice but to accept the order.
"Your Majesty, according to the latest information from the Western Regions, Wusun and Guishan will almost certainly launch an offensive against Kangju after the beginning of spring next year." As he spoke, Xun Yu presented a short note to Cao Cao.
This short note is a flying pigeon biography sent by Ma Teng not long ago.
Cao Cao took a closer look and frowned: "The ambitions of these two countries are getting bigger and bigger!" ”
Not knowing what came to mind, Cao Cao frowned and said, "I'm a little strange how Guishan's army could defeat the army of rest before!" ”
Xun Yu said: "The defeat and loss of a large territory in the rest of the war is not entirely the merit of the Kushan army, the main reason is actually the internal problems of the rest of the country, and there is also Wusun, well, the Roman Empire in the mouth of His Majesty, which launched an offensive from the east and west respectively!" ”
Cao Cao laughed a little sarcastically: "This rest can be regarded as bad luck!" Okay, let's not talk about that, Wen Ruo, you tell me that if Guishan and Wusun use troops against Kangju at the same time, how many troops will we have to send to solve this problem? Is our 100,000 army in the Western Regions enough? ”
Xun Yu frowned and shook his head, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if only the Guishan Kingdom uses troops against Kangju, then our army's army in the Western Regions will barely be enough!" But if Wusun also sends troops, then our army needs at least one main army! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and said with some annoyance: "It's a pity that we haven't unified Jiangdong yet!" By the way, didn't I ask Sima Yi to gather the Western Regions Alliance for me? With the Western Regions Alliance, isn't our army in the Western Regions still insufficient? ”
Xun Yu replied: "Wechen has already counted this part, it is said that Guishan has occupied one-third of the land east of Anxi, Guishan's military strength has exceeded one million, and morale is high!" If they invade Kangju on a large scale, our army can only rely on the geographical advantage to deal with them! ”
Cao Cao pondered, and his fingers habitually tapped lightly on a few sides: "Give Shou Cheng all the steel crossbows, repeating crossbows, and oil canisters produced by the armory workshop in the next three months, and in addition, transfer the first army to the Western Regions!" ”
"Your Majesty, there is a sentence that Weichen doesn't know whether to say or not?"
Cao Cao nodded, signaling Xun Yu but it didn't hurt.
Xun Yu saluted and said: "Your Majesty, our current task is to unify the world, and we must not be distracted by extraterritoriality!" In addition, Wechen always felt that the troops in the Central Plains were too empty! (To be continued.)
