After Guan Ji finished speaking, she scanned the bottom again.
Seeing that most of the people had worried looks on their faces and no signs of panic, they nodded secretly.
Although the people here are not very old, and can even be said to be very young, they can all be regarded as talents of the moment.
I just heard her continue to say:
"I have been ordered by the Lord to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Qiang School and the Lieutenant's Mansion. At this critical time, I hope that you all can work together to help until the Lord returns."
After saying that, she simply raised her fists and looked very heroic.
Zhang Yi and others quickly returned the gift:
"But please give the order to General Guan, and everyone is willing to obey the order."
Guan Ji then continued:
"Before the prince left, he said that he had asked the General Staff and the Secretariat to make a plan on how to deal with a thief."
As she spoke, her phoenix eyes flickered towards Gongsun Zheng and Zhang Xingyi.
Gongsun Zheng stood up quickly: "That's true."
Zhang Xingyi is a blessing.
"General Zhang and General Ju are the commanders in charge of the army. I would like to ask the two generals to recall all the sergeants on leave according to the military orders during the war, so that they can go to war at any time."
"promise!"
"Appease the people and explain various matters to the workshop managers. The Secretariat must not make any mistakes."
Zhang Xingyi quickly lowered his head and responded with a gentle eyebrow: "I understand, I understand."
Guan Ji set her sights on Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When he saw that he was finally waiting for him, he quickly sat up straight with a look of longing on his face.
"Zhao Guang, you lead the cavalry, with Yang Wanwan and Huo Yi as deputy generals. Immediately send troops, pass through the Manyin Ferry, enter Hexi, and defeat the Cao thieves in Wuwei's Manyin County."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Zuli is located to the north of Pingxiang. Originally it did not belong to Longyou, but to Wuwei.
Later, with the official restoration of the Han Dynasty's official residence of the Qiang Protector, the Wei State had to abandon Zuli, which had become an isolated city, and retreat to the west of the river.
Zuli was the only place that the Northern Silk Road passed through, so the Wei army stationed garrison troops in Manyin County on the west bank of the river to prevent the Han army from crossing the river and attacking Guzang, the heart of Wuwei.
Guan Ji's arrangement was to let Zhao Guang lead his army across the river and capture Manyin County on the west side of the river.
"Sister, why don't you go to Longguan or Xiaoguan, but to the west?"
The simple-minded Zhao Guang asked blurtly.
Guan Ji's cold eyes when she looked at Zhao Guang suddenly became sharp, and her voice was cold and stern: "Bold! Do you want to test whether my marching laws are strict?"
After being beaten into a pig's head by Guan Ji countless times since he was a child, the shadow in his heart suddenly expanded infinitely, and he was so frightened that he said, "The last general will realize his mistake!"
Zhang Yi, Gofu and others all lowered their eyes and said nothing, pretending they had heard nothing.
Guan Jingsuo leads the bodyguards, who are the most elite soldiers protecting the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
During various military training exercises, he beat up all the battalions of the Qiang Guards' Mansion.
Both Zhang Yi and Jufu suffered losses at her hands.
In addition, the army is practicing a new military formation, which was created by her.
Therefore, Guan Ji's current position is not due to nepotism alone.
What is the difference between General Zhao saying "Sister" and swatting a fly on the head of a tigress?
Sure enough, all I could hear was a shout from above:
"After you go down, go get twenty military sticks yourself!"
Seeing Zhao Guang's pale face, Zhang Xingyi couldn't bear to lower his head deeply, and then bit his tongue desperately to prevent himself from laughing.
At this critical moment, my sister was probably thinking of getting someone to establish her authority, so Brother Zhao of the Zhao family delivered it to her in time.
Is it true that he is worthy of being that heartless and considerate brother?
Regardless of what everyone below was thinking, Guan Ji continued with a serious expression:
"The prince has a deep understanding of military affairs. In the past, the military restructuring was miraculous in hindsight."
This is a statement that is almost blind worship, but no one present has any objection.
Starting from the most basic level of high-quality soldiers, the Modao Team, the heavy crossbows of the Wudang Flying Army, and even the trebuchets of the engineering battalion have proven this statement to be correct.
"Nowadays, most of the Cao thieves in Liangzhou gather in Guzang (Wuwei County), which is five hundred miles away from Manyin County. Rescue is not easy. This time crossing the river to attack the thieves should not be a big problem."
Because of the fall of Xiping County and Jincheng County, most of the Wei troops in Liangzhou had to retreat to Wuwei Guzang and Zhangye County for key defense.
The reason why the North Silk Road passing through Zuli was replaced by the South Road and the Middle Road was because the road was difficult to travel and supplies were not easy to supply.
Now the Wei army in Liangzhou is seriously short of troops. Even if they know that Manyin County is defeated and the Han army can march straight into Wuwei, they can still only send a small number of troops to garrison.
After all, even if the Han army conquered Manyin County, they would have to travel at least five hundred miles through the wilderness to reach Guzang.
But if the army is placed in Manyin County, the logistics cannot keep up, and the rescue is difficult. What if the Han army comes directly from Lingju or Xiping?
As for the Han Dynasty, if it were not for the purpose of better governing Liangzhou in the future, the army would have crossed the river and entered Wuwei long ago.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guang and others do not understand why Guan Ji wants to stimulate the Cao thieves on the west side of the river at this time.
"This battle is to allow the three of you to better master the new cavalry, and secondly to warn the Cao thieves in Hexi not to act rashly."
None of the people present were stupid. After hearing Guan Ji's words, not to mention Zhao Guang, even Yang Wanwan and Huo Yi tensed up.
The new cavalry has only been tested on the rebellious Hu people - the effect is of course good.
But the Hu people are not Cao Cao's thieves, and Cao's thieves' elite soldiers are far more powerful than the Hu people.
Until there is a head-on confrontation with Cao Cao's thieves, everything is still unknown as to how the new cavalry will fare.
General Guan's move was said to allow the three of them to better master the new cavalry, which was indeed true.
But in fact, it was more for them to prove that they could lead this cavalry army.
The thieves in Fuyin County were their test subjects.
After all, Feng Junhou must be right. If they fail in crossing the river, it will naturally be the fault of the leading general.
General Guan's approach is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, Guan Ji still has a plan in her heart that she has not expressed yet.
The most important thing about this cross-river battle was to test whether the Cao thieves in Liangzhou had any plans to respond to the Cao thieves in Guanzhong.
Although this possibility is very small, you always have to try it before you feel confident.
One of the thirty-six strategies is to alert the snake. As the wife of a prince, how could she not know this?
Guan Ji's eyes became more and more sharp:
"In the past two years, the Qiang captain's palace has spent the most on new cavalry, and the prince has high hopes for this."
"If the Cao thieves really attack in a large scale, then this is the best opportunity to prove that the Qiang captain's cavalry is protected. Do you understand?"
The battle across the river is a warm-up before the big battle.
Zhao Guang and the three of them shouted loudly: "Understood!"
"The crossing of the river requires assistance from the engineering battalion."
Guan Ji looked at Wen Shi, "Anyone who doesn't know anything about the equipment can go directly to Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau and ask Mrs. Mei."
"If possible, use the new equipment in Manyin County. If you find any problems, report back to Mrs. Mei."
Wenshi quickly stood up and responded: "Follow the general's order."
After Guan Ji finished her instructions, she glanced at everyone, "Do you still have any questions?"
Zhang Yi suggested with some worry:
"General Guan, in my opinion, it is better to let Xiping and Jincheng also make a feint. Otherwise, if the Cao thieves in Liangzhou raise their troops to Wanyin County with all their strength, they will echo the Cao thieves in Guanzhong."
"At that time, I'm afraid that the Qiang Protector's Office will have to deal with Hexi with all its strength and will not be able to assist the east."
If Xu Miao took a gamble and wanted to get in touch with the Cao thief in Guanzhong, such a move would not be impossible.
After hearing this, Guan Ji nodded:
"General Zhang's concerns are justified. In the name of protecting the Qiang Colonel's Mansion, I will send official documents to the Longyou Governor's Mansion, but the final arrangement depends on General Zhao's wishes."
Although the Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion is ostensibly lower than the Longyou Governor's Mansion, both have considerable autonomy.
The difference is that the Qiang-protecting Xiaowei Mansion usually manages Liangzhou to the west.
The Longyou Dudu Mansion mainly faces east, cooperating with Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong at any time.
At the same time, the functions of both parties overlap.
Xiping and Jincheng counties are currently directly under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Dudufu, and the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion also has the right to administer the Hu people in Guanzhong.
Whether the two can coordinate closely depends on the relationship between Qiang Xiaowei and Longyou Governor.
At present, it seems that the relationship between Captain Feng and Old General Zhao is not bad.
Zhang Xingyi's big eyes were shining and he whispered:
"I thought, why don't the army print and distribute a proclamation? Didn't you, um, didn't the Lord say that more things should be printed and distributed so that the army's sergeants and soldiers can gain knowledge."
Everyone here already knows the benefits of promoting reading and literacy throughout the army.
Throughout the history books, ordinary soldiers in the army eager to fight can only happen if a famous general leads the army.
There were countless people outside waiting to snatch the soldiers who had been disarmed to protect the Qiang Colonel's Mansion. This was something that had never been seen before.
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, everyone thought it was reasonable.
Guan Ji nodded: "Then how do you think it is appropriate to write it?"
Zhang Xingyi seemed to have been prepared: "Why don't you just say, 'Thieves will kill me, but I will never die'?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Xingyi in amazement and thought:
Some time ago, the monarch gave a warning to the entire army, saying that they should not slack off in their pursuit of thieves, so that the morale of the army would be subdued.
Now if we add the phrase "Thieves will kill me, I will never die", it will be regarded as pre-war mobilization in the army.
It seems that it makes sense for the king to ask Mrs. Zhang to be the chief secretary of the Qiang Colonel's Mansion.
Guan Ji, however, had other thoughts. She looked Zhang Xingyi up and down a few times, and a light flashed in her eyes:
I clearly remember this sentence when Alang mentioned it to me when he talked about the military plan after he issued his first propaganda message in the army. How did you know about it?
It's just that Zhang Xingyi frowned and closed his eyes, trying to be as submissive as possible, leaving Guan Ji unable to find fault. She could only bite her silver teeth secretly:
"The Secretariat will prepare a manuscript for this military memorandum, and Ms. Mei from the Manufacturing Bureau will be responsible for printing it."
"promise."
Zhang Xingyi quickly agreed without any hesitation.
After all, teasing a tiger's beard is exciting, but it is too dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety.
"Ah..."
Zhao Guanggang said one word, and when he saw Guan Ji's sharp eyes looking over, he quickly swallowed the second word:
"General Guan, the cavalry is not in a good position to attack the city. If we only allow the cavalry to cross the river, will the casualties be too high?"
"Don't worry, when the time comes, the Qiang Protector's Office will summon the Hu people to follow. After conquering Manyin County, some tribes will be moved to Hexi to graze."
Zhang Xingyi was a little worried: "Will moving the tribes to Hexi for grazing will cause the Hu people to alienate?"
Guan Ji looked determined, "They have received so many benefits in the past two years, and now is the time to show their loyalty to the big man."
"The Han Dynasty can admit that they are Han people, but they must also show the courage and responsibility to become Han people."
"If they cannot do this, then they are not qualified to become Han people. To revive the Han Dynasty, it is the children of the Han family, not Hu Yi!"
"This is a big Han people. They really want to betray the Han people because of this matter. Isn't the saber protecting the Qiang Colonel's Mansion not powerful enough?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone here involuntarily straightened their bodies.
The Chinese dress and the Han family sound, who rules the world?
Only Zhang Xingyi secretly stuck out his tongue.
Han Yi Ru Yi is a national policy implemented by the Han Dynasty. I heard that the heartless man also participated in formulating this policy. Now it seems to be far-sighted.
My sister's words and deeds would have been fine according to her previous behavior, but now I say it openly, and I don't know if it's appropriate or not?
But no matter what Zhang Xingyi thinks, the nominal person in charge of the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion is Guan Ji.
Now that she has made an arrangement, the people below must carry it out to the letter.
The news that "there is going to be a war again" spread in Pingxiang at an extremely fast speed.
Ping Xiang went up and down, and immediately moved when he heard the wind.
In the past few years, while the Han Dynasty has been victorious, the common people have finally been able to save some food in their food tanks.
Of course, Cangtou Qianshou does not know what improvement of production tools is, let alone what rapid development of productivity is.
So they had an illusion: the more the big man won the battle, the easier his family's life would be.
If you don't have to fight, that would be the best thing.
It’s just that in today’s world, which year doesn’t kill people?
It was common for whole families to die due to desertion and military chaos. If one member of the family joined the army and the whole family could live a good life, that would be a matter of great joy.
After all, the fairness and strictness of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the rotation of sergeants, and the standards for military service were all implemented fairly well.
Worry not about scarcity but about inequality. As long as everyone does this, the people will not have too much resentment in their hearts.
As for the Guarding Qiang School Weifu Army, which is descended from the Nanxiang Clan, there is no need to mention it.
As the place with the best welfare for sergeants in the army, there have been constant battles, big and small, in the past few years, and the benefits that soldiers in the army have received have not stopped.
As for those capitals, the experience and lessons learned in the past few years, I finally understand a truth: war can also bring huge profits.
So the culture of being happy after hearing the war took shape in such a strange way.
The greedy and keen capital was the first to react.
As soon as they learned the news, they gathered together and tried to exchange information with each other.
The difference from the beginning is that the crowd is no longer just workshop stewards.
The most eye-catching one among them is the barbarian who speaks a strange Chinese accent.
After the pacification of Nanzhong, many tribes in Nanzhong directly attacked those tribes that were disobedient in order to join the five captains.
While accumulating political capital, he also accumulated primitive wealth. Finally, he made a grand turn and actively responded to the policies of the Han Dynasty and opened a plantation.
The operation can't be said to be awkward.
These leaders of the Longyou Hu people are actually replicas of the leaders of the five captaincy tribes in Nanzhong.
Holding tightly to the thigh of the Qiang Lieutenant's Mansion, he first sold the heads of the pro-Wei tribe, and then half-sold the heads of his own tribe.
As long as the interests of the pasture are good, selling some tribesmen is a big deal?
What's more, if you convert the tribesmen into a registered population, you don't have to bear the rations yourself. Wouldn't you earn more?
So the grassland owners who contracted the grassland and emerging capital happily got together.
The main question they discussed was: Where to fight? What can we do?
As for how many enemies there are... we haven't considered them yet.
