In the government office lobby, everyone looked at Zhao Junchen blankly, with different expressions.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Junchen still had a calm expression, as if he had just talked about ordinary gossip, but under the calm surface, there was a strong confidence that anyone could feel!
Of course, the confidence Zhao Junchen showed was just a disguise.
Although Zhao Junchen has been planning for this war for a long time, he is not completely sure. If there is a mistake in any part of the plan, although the whole game will not be lost, it will definitely end in failure!
In fact, Zhao Junchen is now making a huge gamble! He is betting that his plan can be completed smoothly, he is betting that the armies under his command can defeat the menacing Mongolian coalition, and he is betting that he can achieve great success through this war!
Because Zhao Junchen took the initiative to get involved in the muddy waters of the bandits this time just to gain military exploits and gain military power!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen must not fight in a small way, he must fight in a big way!
If Zhao Junchen was in charge of the military affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, he only drove the invading Mongolian army out of the territory, which was just an ordinary achievement. The successive governors of the three sides were able to do this. It does not show the prominence of Zhao Junchen, and it cannot be done for Zhao Junchen. How many merits has Junchen won!
Only by annihilating all the Mongolian armies that invaded Shaanxi and Gansu can Zhao Junchen achieve unparalleled achievements and shock the government and the public, and the attention of the world!
Then, with this extraordinary feat, Zhao Junchen's status in the temple can be truly stabilized, and his reputation among the government and the public can be completely reversed! At that time, even Emperor Deqing would not dare to take action at will!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen must not adopt Fang Zhenshan's "safe tactics", nor dare to adopt He Zhang's "adventurous strategies", let alone hold the view of letting things go and muddle along like several civil servants.
At this time, Zhao Junchen must be very ambitious and achieve great success!
Only in this way can Zhao Junchen achieve his true goal!
For this reason, even if you need to take some risks, you won’t hesitate!

Although the confidence shown by Zhao Junchen was just a disguise, Zhao Junchen's superb acting skills did not let everyone see any flaws.
However, after the civil and military officials sensed Zhao Junchen's confidence, they were somewhat unclear whether Zhao Junchen's confidence came from arrogance and ignorance or ambition.
Academician Zheng Jiadong obviously believed that Zhao Junchen's confidence came from arrogance and ignorance. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly admonished: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, I still believe that General Fang's plan is the most appropriate and can be ended at the least cost." Why not fight this war? What’s more, the top priority now is to rescue Jiezhou City..."
However, before Zheng Jiadong finished speaking, Zhao Junchen had already raised his hand to stop him and said: "As for the safety of Jiezhou City, you don't have to worry at all. I have long talked about that Jiezhou City may become a target of the Mongols. Now Jiezhou City In addition to the local defenders, there are nearly 30,000 elite imperial guards stationed in the city. During this period, I also transferred a lot of city defense equipment and sent people to build many city fortifications. There is no shortage of food and grass in the city, so Jiezhou City will never be in danger of being destroyed in a short period of time!... If Jiezhou City still falls in a short period of time under such circumstances, it can only mean that the Mongols are all heavenly soldiers and generals, or they are All our Ming soldiers are vulnerable, so even if we support Jiezhou City in time, we will only send troops to die!"
After blocking Zheng Jiadong's words, Zhao Junchen's tone became serious again, and he said slowly: "Now, I have made up my mind! In this war, the goal is to completely annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces, so that they can come and go. Come back and gain an extraordinary achievement! It doesn’t matter whether you have different opinions or you can write a memorial to the court to impeach me after returning. But now I have the power to make decisions on the spur of the moment. After all, I have the final say in this war! All you can do is All you need to do is listen to orders with peace of mind and do things with your heart. Even if the war fails, the responsibility will be solely borne by me!"
Seeing what Zhao Junchen said, it was obvious that he would not change his mind, and the civil servants were helpless.
But the reactions of several military attachés were quite different!
Fang Zhenshan had originally intended to seek refuge with Zhao Junchen and seek Zhao Junchen's asylum. Now after hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, he considered the pros and cons of the matter - a city and land loss had already occurred in the defense zone of Guyuan Military Town. , if he just drives the Mongols out of the country in the end, I am afraid that the merits will still be outweighed, and only by following Zhao Junchen's plan can he possibly make up for the merits!
He Zhang is a tough fighter. Although the surprise attack strategy he proposed just now was influenced by the opinions of the civil servants to "support Jiezhou City as soon as possible", he also wanted to kill the Mongolian coalition forces as much as possible. Zhao Junchen's ambition was even greater and he actually wanted to annihilate all the enemy troops, so naturally he fully agreed!
Not to mention Qi Bin, he was the first to propose the plan to annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces.
Therefore, without waiting for the civil officials to admonish Zhao Junchen again, several military attachés looked at each other and unified their opinions for the first time. After they came out one after another, they said in unison: "The humble ministers and others will go all out to follow the imperial envoy, and for the sake of The Imperial Envoy will sacrifice his life for his great ambition and ambition, and together with the Imperial Envoy, we will achieve unparalleled miraculous achievements!"
After seeing the statements of several military attachés, the expressions of the civilian officials even changed.
Zhao Junchen originally seemed to insist on his own opinion, and now he has the support of the military attachés, making it even more impossible for the civilian officials to change the situation!
Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. The only thing he could do at this time was to try his best to improve Zhao Junchen's battle plan and add as much chance of victory as possible!
Therefore, Wu Qifan gave up the idea of continuing to dissuade and just asked: "So, compared to the opinions of General He and General Fang, the Imperial Envoy, you are more inclined to Qi Shubei's plan?"
Zhao Junchen glanced at Wu Qifan, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
Then, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "It should be said that I agree more with Qi Bin's position of wanting to completely annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces... As for the plan proposed by Qi Bin, there are many merits, but if you want to be as foolproof as possible, To increase the chance of winning, some aspects still need to be slightly modified!”
In the end, Zhao Junchen finally told everyone his long-planned battle plan!
*
While Zhao Junchen was discussing the war with various civil and military officials, the offensive and defensive battle surrounding Jiezhou City had officially begun.
However, at the beginning, the war was far from as intense as imagined, and Jiezhou City was far from as dangerous as the civil servants imagined!
In this battle, not only was Jiezhou City well-defended and well-prepared, but the Mongolian coalition forces once again proved with actual actions that they were indeed not good at attacking cities!

The second half of the chapter was originally a description of war scenes, but Chongzi was not satisfied and eventually deleted them all, so this chapter only has 2,000 words, please forgive me!
