41, the king has the weapon, the concubine is nameless (3)
Wang Zheng really didn't know that Mi Fang was in Kaiyang now.
Even Mi Fang didn't know that her family was actually in cahoots with Wang Zheng to some extent.
Perhaps it was because Mi Zhu would not have time to explain in the future, or perhaps because Wang Zheng had not confiscated his family and exterminated his family since leaving Linzi. Although Mi Ling was still accompanying him in the army, the business seemed to be over.
Therefore, Mi Zhu never talked about this matter with his second brother.
When Wu Sheng brought Mi Ling to see Wang Zheng, after a face-to-face discussion, Mi Ling nodded and bowed and walked towards the local Mi's grain store.
Along the way, Mi Ling was actually making secret calculations.
To a certain extent, Mi Ling had the same idea as Pan Zhang and Wu Sheng, and they were more happy to see Wang Zheng continue to use the refreshing style of Qingzhou to deal with these wealthy families.
After all, if there were no more transactions such as reselling dirty things, his Mi Ling would be worthless to both the Mi family and the current Wang Zheng.
However, since Wang Zheng made such a request, he did not dare to trick Wang Zheng deliberately, but in his heart he hoped that those wealthy families would be tougher and it would be best if they could annoy Wang Zheng.
At the same time, Pan Zhang was also leading five thousand heavenly troops filing out of the city gate and rushing towards Jiqiu.
Although he has now become a captain due to several meritorious services, Wang Zheng has definitely considered whether he can be given the important task of leading an army.
In addition to being a famous general in Soochow in the future and having a brilliant record of capturing Guan Yu, an enemy of ten thousand people, another thing is that the system personally stamped and confirmed his talent "defending the city".
From Wang Zheng's point of view, it is not difficult to capture a mere Jiqiu. The key lies in the back. The Heavenly Army in Jiqiu may face an offensive from Tao Qian of the East China Sea.
This is not something ordinary people can bear.
Therefore, Wang Zheng thought carefully and hesitated for a long time between Yu Jin and Pan Zhang, but still chose the latter, and even gave him 5,000 troops to help him stay in the place and calm it down.
Yu Jin was obviously better, and Wang Zheng didn't want to waste it on Tao Qian.
As long as Pan Zhang can hold Jiqiu, according to Zhang Rao, Kong Rong is being besieged by the Yellow Turban bandit Guan Hai. Once there is no worries to the east, there will be no worries at all and Pengcheng can be conquered calmly.
Wang Zheng is confident in his own judgment and is already thinking about the strategic steps after the army rests.
Attack Pengcheng!
If the army starts from Kaiyang and captures Xiongguan, which is located in the southwest of Xuzhou, there will be more than ten county towns along the way.
This time, Wang Zheng was not prepared to advance as quickly as he had taken Linzi and Kaiyang.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry...
He then thought of slowly trying to figure it out, slowly digesting each place he occupied, and at the same time win over the people's hearts and expand his army.
After pulling out all the nails around Pengcheng and occupying them one by one, you can encircle Pengcheng and capture it in one fell swoop.
Two months, he thought.
Even if he chooses to play it slow and steady, Wang Zheng still believes that with the help of the system, it will not take too long to achieve this strategic goal.
After listening to Wang Zheng's deployment, everyone in the hall thought about it, whether they were calm like Yu Jin and Xu Fang, or aggressive like Wu Sheng, Kaohsiung and others, they all finally approved the plan.
Fighting like this in an upright manner, although not efficient enough, is the safest way.
"General, the common people have resumed their work. On the wealthy side, you also arranged for Mi Ling to go to the Mi family to take charge of the connection."
Xu Fang thought for a while and asked a question:
"Then the next Kaiyang City Gate, should we open it normally?"
Since the Heavenly Army entered the city, the city gates were naturally closed in the early days and entry and exit were prohibited. Now that the situation is stable, it is still only open for half an hour at noon every day.
In this way, it is natural that traffic is blocked and business travelers are inconvenienced.
"What do you think?" Wang Zheng pondered for a while, then looked at everyone and asked.
On this issue, all the generals thought about it for a while, but the answers they gave were different.
Represented by Yu Jin, it is more from a military point of view that they do not want Kaiyang to resume its daily opening.
After all, if it is only opened once a day at noon, and the heavenly army is strictly guarded, the truth and relevant information may not be leaked. Even if it is leaked, it will not be too fast. But if it is opened directly during the day like the previous Kaiyang City
Open, but it is not conducive to the confidentiality of military information.
Although the current situation seems ideal, the timing is actually very good and can threaten several forces that have defeated the Heavenly Army. Cao Cao and Lu Bu are fighting fiercely in Yanzhou, and Tao Qian is seriously injured.
But as a group of Yellow Turban rebels, Yu Jin and other latecomers still feel that the future development path of the Heavenly Army will still be on thin ice.
Before the Heavenly Army fully controlled Xuzhou, Yu Jin felt that it was better to be on the safe side.
The biggest trump card of the Heavenly Army now is that their elite combat power is far superior to other peasant uprising armies, and is not inferior to the elite soldiers of the princes.
Xu Fang is different.
He thinks a switch is needed!
"Kaiyang is the place where the three counties of Taishan, Pengcheng, and Donghai meet, but it is not a transportation hub or a necessary route. Xiao Jian was temporarily closed for a while because he was trapped in Linyi. It has been nearly a month now. If this happens again,
If the seal continues, those merchants will inevitably give up here and choose other places..."
Having said this, Xu Fang paused and looked at Wang Zheng:
"General, if this continues, Kaiyang City's tax revenue will be greatly reduced."
Facing the serious look from the other side, Wang Zheng's heart brightened.
People like Xu Fang, who are both attentive and intelligent, and have been close to his family from the beginning, may have vaguely guessed the truth behind the so-called "divine power".
That is basically determined by his royal government.
Xu Fang guessed that this might require certain conditions, otherwise Wang Zheng could change his troops infinitely and continue to strengthen his troops.
But since the king's government can be realized several times, in Xu Fang's view, even if his own army is not too large in number, it cannot dominate the world, and its power is not strong in the entire Han Dynasty.
But as long as you recruit enough soldiers, it won't be a problem.
General Tiangong has the ability to enable them to fight quickly, dare to fight, and even fight to the death!
On the contrary, money is the biggest problem...
Even if they plundered a lot of wealth from the Qi army, they couldn't just sit back and have nothing, right?
"I didn't say we would keep closing the border, I just said we were seizing Xuzhou..."
Yu Jin looked at Xu Fang, a little helpless. This was the person closest to Wang Zheng. Even if he had the same military rank, he didn't want to argue too fiercely with him, so he explained in a gentle tone:
"At the very least, it must be sealed off before the general's plan to capture Pengcheng is completed."
Hearing this, Xu Fang shook his head: "How long will it take to capture the entire territory of Xuzhou? If we follow the general's plan and attack steadily, we won't be able to do it within at least half a year! Even if we capture the city, it will take at least two months!"
"Everyone." He said with a serious look on his face:
"Those business travelers who used Kaiyang as a transit point in previous years don't have that long of patience."
