Nanhai Fucheng, Ke County.
This city originally had a large population, but its walls were in ruins. After the Mongolians captured Liaodong, they repaired the city, making the city walls tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After Xiong Wuwo obtained Ke County, it became the base camp of the Chu army in Liaodong. Grain, baggage, iron ore, etc. were continuously transported to Ke County from the rear.
The blacksmith workshops in the city almost never shut down, and they were continuously making iron pieces for weapons and armor.
The same goes for various bow-making and leather-making workshops.
Xiong Wuwo, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Wu Jing, the governor-general of Liaodong, cooperated with each other in both civil and military affairs, allowing the 80,000-horse infantry in Nanhai Prefecture to unleash a strong war potential.
The Governor's Mansion in the city is spacious, majestic and heavily guarded. A guard wearing armor and holding a sword blocked the Governor's Mansion so tightly that not even a fly could fly in.
Inside the hall.
Wu Jing and Xiong Wuwo sat on the main seats, one on the right and the other on the left. Wu Jing was dressed in official robes and a black gauze hat. He sat upright and looked very imposing.
Xiong Wuwo was wearing a summer battle coat and a steel knife hanging on his waist, which made him look even more majestic.
The two of them had just sat down when a maid came in from outside the door carrying two cups of fragrant tea. After arriving in front of the two of them, she bent down and placed the cups of tea on the coffee table respectfully.
The two of them each picked up a cup of tea and started tasting it. Xiong Wuwo took a sip and then put it down. Wu Jing took three sips of tea in a row with an expression of aftertaste.
"Master Wu. Why did you come to me for something?" Xiong Wuwo raised his head and asked.
"General Xiong. I want to know your plan. Are you planning to attack Guangchuan Mansion or Huanglong Mansion?" Wu Jing put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice.
War is raging and invasion is raging.
As Chunyuan led the Meng Yuan households to retreat to the three prefectures of Guangchuan, Guangyang, and Huanglong, and after they occupied Nanhai Prefecture, the court's support for them grew stronger.
The meaning is obvious, go ahead and take back Liaodong in one fell swoop.
Wu Jing was under great pressure now, but Xiong Wuwo didn't say a word.
As a last resort, Wu Jing had to invite Xiong Wuwo to his house and ask him face to face.
Xiong Wuwo knew Wu Jing's purpose well, but he let it slip and asked with a smile: "From Master Wu's point of view, should I attack Guangchuan Mansion or Huanglong Mansion?"
"Guangchuan Mansion." Wu Jing said without thinking.
"Why do you see it?" Xiong Wuwo asked with a smile.
"Because the current Chunyuan is a long snake. He only cares about one thing but not the other. He has gathered a lot of troops in Huanglong Mansion, while Guangchuan Mansion is very weak."
Wu Jing's eyes were bright and he talked very confidently.
When he was in Chudu, he didn't know how to fight. But after arriving in Liaodong and hanging out with Xiong Wuwo for a long time, he gradually learned how to fight.
"That's good. From a tactical point of view, the enemy is weak. Just attack Guangchuan Mansion." Xiong Wuwo nodded and looked at Wu Jing with great appreciation.
This civil servant is not like ordinary civil servants. He is obviously a fool, but he despises the generals. Not only that, he is also learning how to lead troops in battle. In terms of theoretical knowledge, he is probably better than some generals.
"Tactically? How do you say this?" Wu Jing frowned and looked at Xiong Wuwo in confusion.
"Guangchuan Mansion is Chunyuan's weak point. Chunyuan knows this, I know it, and Wu Nian also knows it. What should Chunyuan do? What should Wu Nian do? We have to consider everything."
Xiong Wuwo grinned, his tiger eyes sparkling, and said: "Do you still remember the nail dragon we placed next to Wu Nian? Wu Nian is an opponent anyway. We might as well kill Wu Nian first and annex Wu Nian's men. , and then encircle Guangchuan Prefecture. By then we will have Nanhai Prefecture, Yingqing Prefecture, and Guangchuan Prefecture. We will work step by step to drive away the Mongolians and restore Liaodong, which is just around the corner."
As he spoke, an astonishing murderous aura emanated from Xiong Wuwo's body.
It is the tiger who wants to kill the bear, and the bear who wants to kill the tiger.
Since sooner or later Wu Nian will compete with Guangchuan Mansion, why not kill Wu Nian first?
Simple and straightforward.
Wu Jing frowned slightly and said in an uncertain tone: "Is it too early to act at this time? Wu Nian's power is very stable. We can definitely use him to deal with the Mengyuan people."
"This way it will be much easier for us to defeat the Meng Yuan people."
"Besides. Long Qie's nail is very useful. If it doesn't succeed and Long Qie is exposed instead, then the gain outweighs the loss."
Xiong Wuwo chuckled and said: "Of course we can't act rashly. We have to analyze the whole situation, work step by step, and use the nail of Long Qie to uproot Wu Nian."
"I won't take action without being completely sure."
"But the goal is set. It is to kill Wu Nian first and then capture Guangchuan Mansion."
Wu Jing's frown smoothed, and he nodded gently and said, "Okay, I know what's going on. It's your business, General Xiong, to fight the war. I won't interfere. I will only support you."
"With Master Wu's words, I feel relieved." Xiong Wuwo showed joy and nodded repeatedly.
Listen, listen. This is what civil servants should do. As long as civilian officials support military generals instead of restricting them, is there any battle that cannot be won?
"Yeah." Wu Jing hummed, feeling relieved. Civil and military cooperation is invincible.
After the two breathed, they were both satisfied. They each picked up their teacups and began to sip the tea carefully. The cup of tea was quickly finished. Xiong Wuwo put down the cup and was about to say goodbye.
"Da da da!!!" One of Xiong Wuwo's soldiers suddenly broke in from the outside and reported: "General, Mr. Wu. Chunyuan suddenly released the news that Guangchuan Prefecture guard Wanhu Hou Wancheng was going to be evacuated. Guangyang Mansion.”
"How could this happen?" Wu Jing was caught off guard and said in a voiceless voice.
Xiong Wuwo was calmer, but his expression also changed drastically.
"This is a conspiracy. Let us and Wu Nian kill each other immediately. Damn it. This disrupts my plan. If Wu Nian is allowed to take Guangchuan Mansion first, then even if there is a dragon, he will be our nail and kill Wu Nian. It will also be very difficult.”
Xiong Wuwo said with an ashen face.
"What should we do?" Wu Jing was a civil servant after all, and he was a little lost.
"Grab. Forget about Yingqing Mansion for now, grab Guangchuan Mansion first." Xiong Wuwo said decisively. Then without thinking, he raised his head and said to his soldiers: "Send the order. Let Chen Zhang organize a cavalry and go to Guangchuan Mansion. If Hou Wancheng really retreats, he should not care about the county seat or not, and seize Wanghai Mountain first."
"In addition, pass on the order. Gather all the cavalry outside the city of Ke County. I will personally lead the cavalry to seize Wanghaishan."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and left.
"Why Wanghai Mountain? Shouldn't we occupy the county first?" Wu Jing asked with a frown.
Xiong Wuwo replied: "Wanghai Mountain is a battleground for military strategists. If I have Wanghai Mountain, I can get all the county seats in Guangchuan Prefecture. If there is no Guangchuan Prefecture, I can only get two."
"Master Wu, I'm leaving. If the Meng Yuan people from Huanglong Mansion take the opportunity to go south, Sir, don't give any orders. Leave it to my generals."
After saying that, Xiong Wuwo hurriedly walked out of the door and left.
"Damn it. Two peaches kill three people. Chunyuan took out Guangchuan Mansion and let us and Wu Nian start fighting immediately."
Wu Jing stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression ugly.
