Dingzhou City.
Within the palace.
Neither Wu Ming nor Wu Zhi was a person who indulged in luxury and pleasure, and Ding Wangfu was not the resplendent and extravagant people in the outside rumors, but rather simple.
Of course, there are three-step one post, five-step one whistle, etc., but they are just to show the majesty of the king. In addition, the layout of the entire palace has only a sense of grandeur, grandeur, and tranquility.
There used to be a lot of hopefuls who watched the weather of the Wangfu secretly, but in the end they had no choice but to retreat without gaining anything. They only felt that the place was majestic and majestic, and everyone had the vigor of an entrepreneurial lord.
In the chamber.
Wu Pheasant was wearing a jiaolong robe and sat on the main seat with Wu Ming. Zeng Yu, Chen Jingzong, Qi Lin, and Wu Tiehu bowed their heads slightly, and then stood solemnly on both sides.
Those who can participate in this military meeting are naturally the most core cronies, and Wu Zhi didn't have too much airs, and said directly: "Wang Ye has initially decided that the three divisions, six departments and the official system must be clarified one by one. Zeng Yu, you have made great contributions, and you can help me. Tobu Shangshu!"
"Follow the order!"
Zeng Yu came out and bowed down solemnly.
Wu Ming watched quietly from the side, and saw that after Li Cheng, the red chinchilla hovered above Wu Zhi's head, and a large wave of luck suddenly fell.
This Zeng Yu was born with an extraordinary life and outstanding talent, and it was very early to follow Wu Zhi. Although he missed the merit of Conglong, he still had a plan when he started the incident, so he was also considered to have seniority. The luck was immediately accepted and digested quickly , showing extraordinary.
"Although the six-ministration system is good, the military is the most important thing in today's wars! Where does the army come from? Money and food and soldiers! Therefore, the household department and the military department are the most important!"
Wu Zhi talked eloquently.
In fact, although the Great Zhou also had some systems, the three divisions and six departments were instructed by Wu Ming and inherited part of the original system, which is very different.
Wu Zhi looked around and said again: "Chen Jingzong!"
"The end is here!"
Chen Jingzong also came out, looking excited.
"You resign your post in the army and come back to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War!"
"Follow the order!"
In the words and answers, there was a lot of luck bestowed on him. Of course, although Chen Jingzong is a real military strategist, he has shortcomings in digesting these things. Fundamental flaws emerged, and the luck was a little scattered.
'This man has the ability. For the progress of his nephew Chen Shuncheng, he had to step back and become a civil servant... Otherwise, even E-chao would not be at ease, and when he arrived at the Ministry of War, he could continue to look after his children and grandchildren. I don't know how much effort has been made in secret...'
Wu Ming smiled slightly, but did not object.
Although this person is a bit embarrassing, but so far he can barely support him.
Moreover, natal fate is not static, if Chen Jingzong gets this great luck, makes great strides forward and becomes a soldier saint, then that is enough to suppress.
The next few appointments may be like an earthquake to the entire Dingzhou and the outside world, but Wu Ming just listened quietly, and finally Wu Zhi finally got to the point: "I want to calm the world and unify the eight wildernesses, you can wait." Would you like to help Gu complete this feat?!"
"Willing to die for the king!"
When it was time to express their loyalty, no one dared to hesitate, but immediately bowed down and said loudly.
"Very good! Zeng Yu!"
Wu Zhi touched the jade finger in his hand: "My army is going out of Dingzhou, and there are only three directions, Qing, Tai, and Ling! Which state do you think is the most suitable?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's ears were raised.
If one step is wrong in this kind of battle strategy, there will be no redemption. At the least, there will be no hope of becoming a real dragon, and at the worst, they will be defeated and die directly. They can't help but pay attention to it.
Qi Lin rolled his eyes and thought quickly:
"There is a rebellion in Lingzhou by the refugee army. I heard that there are many grass-headed kings who attack each other. The people are in dire straits. Most of them are dilapidated. It is a big quagmire!"
"Qingzhou has heard that a family of princes has risen. It is a member of the Lu family of the gentry. The surname is Lu Mingxiang. It has already occupied three counties, and the army is not small."
"At this time in Taizhou, various clans and towns are attacking, and a group of snakes are rising together. Tong Ying, Xu Yusheng, Lin Chong and other generals are coming and going. I don't know who will have the last laugh."
He frowned: "These three routes can be attacked, but they are all difficult to swallow in one go. Once you get stuck in the mud, you must be careful to be hostile and be attacked unanimously. Difficult... Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Qi Lin sighed silently, and immediately heard Zeng Yu's clear and jade-like voice: "You should take Lingzhou!"
The expression was decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"Fight against Lingzhou refugee army?"
Chen Jingzong couldn't help but said: "Although those Caotou kings are easy to fight, but Lingzhou is broken. Even if the whole land falls into my king's hands, they will not be able to get food and grass in a short time. Instead, they have to contribute money and effort to help. A wise man will not do it!"
The right way of a military strategist is naturally to take the rich and abandon the poor, attack the weak and avoid the strong.
For any feudal town, Lingzhou at this time is not only not fat, but has a smell of mud.
To those kings, places that cannot provide food, salaries and soldiers are no different from grass.
"How about attacking Taizhou? Although this state has separatist regimes, most of them are families and counties, which are easy to break down individually. However, in Qingzhou, Lu Xiang has already risen, so it is not easy to attack."
Chen Jingzong put forward his own opinion.
"No!"
Zeng Yu shook his head and said: "Master Chen only knows one thing, but not the other. In Taizhou and Qingzhou, the families are powerful. My king has been famous all over the world since the uprising, and it is also thanks to the power of the gentry!"
When he said this, Chen Jingzong's complexion changed a little.
"Hmph... Could it be that we can't defeat the enemy without the aristocratic family?"
Qi Lin snorted coldly: "My lord is king, and there are many enemies in the world, so why bother to delay the battle opportunity?"
"Even if you are victorious in all battles, if you are an enemy of the world, you will inevitably be overthrown. Although the scholars are talking about it at this time, it has not hurt the root of my king... Qing and Taizhou are prosperous. If you can't win the hearts of the scholars and the people , even if you succeed, it will be useless, and it will make the world an enemy instead!"
Zeng Yudao: "But Lingzhou is different! This state is dilapidated, and even the chiefs of counties and counties have many fleeing. The king can use the banner of rescue to send a division to wipe out the bandits and protect the environment and the people. The people have suffered from chaos for a long time. When you arrive, is there any reason not to eat the pot of pulp to welcome the master?"
"What's more, although the Caotou King's army is chaotic, there are always young and strong among them. When reorganized, it is another powerful army!"
Zeng Yu smiled and said: "After Lingzhou, there is Xuzhou, where the accompanying capital is now. After Lingzhou is conquered, you can directly press forward, play the banner, hold the emperor and the court officials in your hands, and then order the world to slaughter the mountains and rivers. Wouldn't it be fun?"
"Abducting the emperor?"
Chen Jingzong, Qi Lin and the others gasped.
Even though they had gone through hundreds of battles and fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they never thought about this.
"good!"
On the contrary, Wu Ming and Wu Zhi applauded at the same time, obviously they liked what Zeng Yu said.
"What a Zeng Yu, indeed a scholar of the country, a word that messes up the world..."
Wu Ming looked at Zeng Yu at this time, his eyes glistened. The state of Da Zhou at this time was indeed somewhat similar to that at the end of Han Dynasty. The princes from all over the country rose, the Han rule was in danger, and the imperial rule was crumbling.
But even so, the court is the court after all! Three hundred years of Great Zhou, this point of righteousness is always there, if you can hold it in your hands, it will naturally benefit a lot.
Although there is no such thing as coercing the emperor to order the princes in this world, this is almost the same.
"only… "
Wu Ming shook his head secretly in his heart, knowing that this Zeng Yu still lacked experience.
Now that the Zhou Dynasty has declined, more than half of the reasons are due to Wu Zhi.
After all, her establishment as king was originally a challenge to the majesty of the court, and now she wants to pick up the banner of the court's righteousness, and she doesn't know what the guilds in the court are thinking.
Although as long as the front of the soldiers passed by, it would be an extremely simple matter to control those people, but since they were determined to take advantage of the court's name, they naturally had to save some face.
"Of course, the establishment is also better than the establishment. At least the civil and military under him are doing things with heart. They know who is the real ruler, and they are not easy to be dizzy after being merged with the court. I really think that I am a loyal minister and filial son of the Great Zhou..."
Wu Ming thought about it carefully, only to feel that the pros and cons of it are really hard to say, intricate and involved, and I'm afraid it won't be clear in a short time.
But looking at Wu Zhi's expression, it was obvious that he was moved.
"Retire first, Zeng Yu, write down your plan and send it to me!"
Wu Zhi coughed and waved his hand.
"The minister waits to leave!"
Several people saluted and exited one by one, leaving the free time to Wu Ming and his wife.
"how do you feel?"
Wu Zhi stared at Wu Ming with piercing eyes.
"It's very smart, very radical idea, almost risking the world's disgrace... Of course, for you, you have already passed the first grade of junior high school, so you might as well do it again!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "However, the key to this plan is still those militiamen!"
"Refugees?"
Wu Zhi looked a little puzzled.
"That's right, the Great Zhou has enjoyed the country for three hundred years. Even though it has declined, its authority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These Dingzhou soldiers can fight with you in the south and north, but they are still powerless to attack the capital by surprise. It's sad! Unless you Take them for a few more years and lay down a few big states! Build confidence."
In terms of the way of using soldiers, Wu Ming is no less inferior than Wu Zhi, and because of traveling through many worlds, Wu Ming understands people's hearts better than Wu Zhi.
"Those refugee soldiers are just the opposite. In order to survive, they killed officials and rebelled. They are a model who are willing to cut their bodies and dare to pull the emperor off his horse. If you have them, you will be your real help."
There is no taboo against this kind of soldiers. If they are subdued again, they will fight wherever they choose. There is no other way. Even if they slaughter their entire companions, trample on the bones of their princes, and turn the imperial city into ashes, they will definitely not be able to do so. With the slightest frown.
"good!"
Wu Zhi's complexion suddenly became serious.
If she hadn't thought of this just now, she might have capsized in the gutter.
"So, Lingzhou has to fight, not only to fight, but also to subdue those thugs. It will take a lot of effort. Of course, Zeng Yu probably has a comprehensive plan at his side, step by step."
"If you want to accompany the capital, do you have to win Lingzhou?"
Wu Zhi looked at Wu Ming, and suddenly smiled: "It's a pity...he claims to have a clever plan, but he doesn't know that his husband has already seen through it."
