Zhang Jue is indeed a talented person with unique insights into war, but what he is even more powerful at is logistics.
Zhang Jue has always been managing Zhu Di's logistics.
In this regard, he is more powerful than Shen Dabao.
After all, he is a veteran of the previous dynasty. Without two brushes, it is impossible for Zhu Di to reuse him.
"Wei Chen believes that whether we are fighting Zhang Zhou or Chen Han, we must fight quickly. If the two countries form an alliance and fight a protracted war, it will not be of much benefit to our cause!" Zhang Jue looked at Zhu Jun analyzed: "So, we must use cavalry and clever strategies."
Zhu Jun nodded, "What else?"
"It's best to use assassination. Now that the great cause has occupied the destiny, no matter what method is used, it is fine. As long as there is no indiscriminate killing, regaining the world is already what the people want!" Zhang Jue said: "The Imperial Guard's Department, He is an expert in this field, so Wei Chen thought he could start from this aspect!"
Zhu Jun looked at Zhang Jue with admiration. He had to say that Zhang Jue was really smart, and he actually coincided with him.
Zhu Jun smiled slightly and agreed with Zhang Jue's suggestion: "You are right, a quick victory is our best choice.
The Archguard is indeed a good resource, and we can use their abilities to carry out assassination operations.
However, we must ensure the stealth and accuracy of our operations so that the enemy cannot detect anything. "
Zhang Jue nodded and said yes, “Yes, we need to find some reliable talents to perform this task.
They must have superb assassination skills while maintaining absolute loyalty. "
Zhu Jun thought for a moment and asked a key question: "How do we find such talents?"
Zhang Jue thought for a moment, and then said: "We can find it through the internal personnel of the Guards Department. They should have a certain understanding of the assassination operation.
In addition, we can also recruit some potential talents through some secret channels and conduct strict selection and training. "
Zhu Jun nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will act according to your suggestion. The success or failure of the assassination operation will be directly related to the success or failure of our cause.
We have to select our talent carefully and make sure they are up to the task. "
Zhang Jue said solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will try my best to find the most suitable candidates and ensure that they can complete the task."
Zhu Jun took a deep look at Zhang Jue and reaffirmed his ability and loyalty in his heart.
Moreover, Zhang Jue also reminded him that if he directly let his people take action, he would undoubtedly expose himself.
If the people from the Arch Guard Department are sent out and he assists, even if he makes a contribution, he will have a reason to do so, rather than taking the lead.
What would Lao Zhu think?
You, a vassal king, have carefully trained so many killers. What on earth do you want to do?
Therefore, Zhu Jun must not be such a standout anymore.
Even if you want to take the lead, you still need a shield.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Zhu Jun said to Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Highness!"
He didn't expect that Zhu Jun would reuse him directly. It seemed that Zhu Jun really trusted Zhu Di, which would save him some effort.
However, whether Zhu Jun can truly be trusted next depends on whether suitable assassination talents can be found this time.
In June, Queen Ma returned to Fengyang, and the whole situation was unusually peaceful. However, this summer was extremely hot.
This extreme weather seems to indicate that this winter will not be too good.
News of drought also came from Zhang Zhou, and the water source in Guanzhong, eight hundred miles away, began to dry up.
This undoubtedly gave Zhu Jun a chance.
The spies lurking in Zhang Zhou began to spread the news, saying that Zhang Cheng was immoral, offended God, and disrespected destiny, so God sent down punishment to punish Zhang Zhou's people.
And if you want to escape God's punishment, you can only surrender to the great cause.
This news is getting more and more popular and has strong recognition among the people.
After all, the great cause now occupies the destiny, which is something everyone acquiesces to.
Once a disaster strikes, the first thing people think of is God's punishment.
In order to quell the damage caused by the rumors, Zhang De had to issue an edict and then go to find the water source himself.
Although it is a show, the people just accept it.
But as the drought intensified, his sin-responsibility edict did not make the drought better. In addition, there were constant rumors from various places, and the great cause now occupied the destiny. It was something that everyone acquiesced to, so the first thing that the people thought of was God. Zhang Zhou will be punished.
Therefore, the rumors started to cause widespread discussion and panic among the people.
The drought continues to rage, and people's living conditions are becoming increasingly difficult.
They began to feel uneasy and fearful, hoping to end this disaster as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, some people began to consider joining the Great Cause, hoping to get some shelter and protection.
Others insist on waiting for a miracle to happen, hoping for a turnaround.
The overall situation in Zhangzhou looks very turbulent and uneasy.
Zhang De is facing tremendous pressure.
He needs to take action as soon as possible to alleviate the situation, otherwise the whole situation will be more difficult to control.
Back at the palace, Zhang De was not in the mood to enjoy himself, and he had no time to be lucky even with the beautiful women he had recently plundered from below.
When Guanzhong was in chaos, Zhang Zhou was also in chaos. He had never found the person who spread the rumor, but it was foreseeable that there must be a shadow of Daye behind it.
Zhang De called Xie Zaixing over and said, "Xie Zaixing, what should we do now? It has not rained for a long time, the fertile soil has dried up, and there is no harvest in the ground. Even relief is not that easy."
Zhangzhou is located in the northwest. Although this area is fertile, it has been developed for thousands of years and is no longer what it used to be.
What is truly prosperous is Daye, which has fertile water and soil, abundant resources, and the ocean.
Zhang Zhou was besieged, and it seemed that the territory was vast, but in fact only he knew the pain.
Xie Zaixing felt very heavy and had a headache. His current situation was indeed very bad.
"We must take action now to reduce the damage as much as possible.
We can organize farmers to help themselves through production and restore their production capacity as much as possible.
At the same time, we must dig as many deep wells as possible to collect water, not to mention using it for irrigation, but at least to ensure that people have water to drink! "Xie Zaixing said.
Zhang De nodded, he knew that people can be hungry for a long time without food, and in such hot weather without water, people can die of thirst in two days.
Xie Zaixing continued: "We can also try to purchase grain from Chenhan to reduce our burden."
Zhang De frowned, "Will Chen Han sell grain to us?"
Xie Zaixing said: "We are now a grasshopper on a rope. If he doesn't sell it, we have to sell it. Otherwise, we will wait to be swallowed up by the great cause!"
