In the Qinzheng Hall, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Gao Xi, Su Wei and others have arrived after receiving the news.
"His Majesty!"
After Wang Jing came in, everyone bowed first and then took their seats. In such an impromptu meeting due to important news, everyone did not pay too much attention to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.
Soon, Wang Jing motioned to the eunuch beside him to show the delivered memorial to everyone.
"This...this is triple happiness. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
After Chen Yi saw it, his face suddenly showed joy.
Bu Zhi, Gao Xi and others also had smiles on their faces, and they were all happy for the good news. After all, they were the core ministers of Daxia. The better Daxia became, the greater the power in their hands.
"I am not happy to get to Xuzhou, but I am happy because of Chen Gongtai and Gao Shun, as well as Mr. Xie An. This mission to Xuzhou has done a great job! By the way, the Ministry of Rites will make preparations. After Mrs. Lu arrives in Jinling, she will first give her a mansion. Temporarily granted the title of Third-Class Marquis..."
Wang Jing said.
There is also Xie An, who will be rewarded for his contribution this time. Wang Jing is going to let him enter the Sixth Department and temporarily serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This official position, among the billions of living beings in Daxia, is only lower than a dozen people, which is considered very good.
Without the reputation of the Xie family in Chen County, Xie An's merits alone on his mission would not meet the standards for promotion to a minister.
But Xie An is too famous and has a very good reputation.
Even those civil servants and generals who hated the wealthy families would show respect after hearing Xie An's name.
So when Wang Jing said he would give Xie An a promotion.
None of the many civil and military officials present had any objections.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel can be in charge of a department alone... The next step is to become the Minister of the Six Bureaus, and there are only two steps away from entering the cabinet to worship the Prime Minister!"
Xie Hui in the palace was very happy after hearing what Wang Jing and everyone discussed.
Because he already knew that no matter how much merit he made, His Majesty would only be promoted in the ranks of nobility and casual officials, and would never allow him to enter the three provinces.
He had no choice but to have such a bad reputation. As the Tuogu minister of Liu Song Dynasty, he finally deposed the emperor and killed the son of Emperor Wu of Liu Song Dynasty...
This kind of reputation is too bad, and it doesn't matter when the position is not high.
But at the level of bachelors and privy envoys from the three provinces, people with too bad reputations cannot be allowed to join the cabinet, so as not to have repercussions in the future.
The Xie family of Chen County includes Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Hui...
Xie An is the only person who can become the most important minister in Daxia and hold the power.
"The surrender of Xuzhou and Anqing is a great joy. Your Majesty should spread the word in all directions to promote the country's prestige. Anqing, Xuzhou and Lin'an are important places on three sides of our country. We must temporarily set up camps and guard them with generals!"
Gao Xi spoke out at this time.
Wang Dingding nodded, "That's right. Then we will abolish the establishment of the Jiangdong camp and set up the Lin'an camp to take charge of military affairs in Lin'an, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other places. Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Hu will first implement military control and establish military camps... with Wei Rui as the general manager of the camp. Reorganize the surrendered troops and coordinate military affairs!"
"Zhuge Jin is the battalion commander of Lin'an, assisting the general manager in handling government affairs!"
"The Lujiang camp was abolished and the Anqing camp was established to take charge of the military affairs of Anqing and Chizhou. He Ruobi was appointed as the general manager of the camp, and Lu Su was appointed as the commander of the camp..."
"The Xuzhou camp was established, with Yang Kan as the general manager of the camp and Chen Gong as the camp commander Shi..."
When Wang Jing received the news just now, he had already considered it in his mind. Now that he heard Gao Xi's memorial, he immediately gave his order.
Murong Shaozong and Shi Wansui made a lot of achievements, but they had camped in Jiangdong for a long enough time and made enough achievements. It was time to return to Jinling.
Wei Rui, on the other hand, made great contributions during the Southern Expedition and soon became the general manager of the camp, and was promoted very quickly. Also because of his reputation, no one will be jealous of Wei Rui, because this is his ability.
As for He Ruobi... He had just captured Anqing and had not yet established a foothold. He needed to stay in Anqing for a while.
Yang Kan, who originally served in the Lujiang camp, transferred to
He is the general manager of Xuzhou operations. Yang Kan's qualifications and merits were sufficient. He had already been wronged by assisting He Ruobi, and it was time for him to take charge of his own affairs again.
"Your Majesty has established three major camps, but you want to cultivate your health and rest?"
Shen Yi asked.
The three major camps established this time are different in nature from the three major camps in Daxia not long ago.
The previous three camps were located in the south and north of the Yangtze River, like three sharp knives aimed at the Ming army's territory, eyeing them with eagerness and full of aggression.
But this time, the three major camps were distributed in three directions, thousands of miles apart, more like border troops stationed on the border.
The main function is defense.
Daxia defends, so the next strategy is obvious, which is to give up the war, prepare to digest the captured territory with all its strength, and stabilize its own foundation.
"Yes, after the big war, it is time to rest for a while, but it is only the big war that has stopped, and the small-scale battles cannot stop! Especially for the Anqing camp, Jiujiang must be captured before sending out a million troops next time!"
Wang Jing said slowly.
As soon as he said this, everyone present was smart and understood His Majesty's intention.
Your Majesty is going to attack westward with all his strength, first capture Jiujiang, then attack Jiangxia, and march into the land of Jingchu.
Going west into the land of Jingchu was more difficult than attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, when fighting for world hegemony, one must first defeat the more powerful opponents, and then calmly deal with the weaker opponents. Especially since the land of Jingchu is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it poses a great threat to Jinling.
The current Wang Jing is like Zhu Yuanzhang in the original world. Zhu Yuanzhang first attacked Chen Youliang, then pacified Zhang Shicheng, and finally marched into the Central Plains to dominate the world.
Wang Jing also wanted to learn this strategy and first seize important areas in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then deal with the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places.
"I think that the news of the establishment of the Xuzhou camp can be suppressed for the time being. If Cao Cao knows that His Majesty has established three major camps, he will be able to guess our strategy. It is very likely that he will ignore the threat of Xuzhou and pursue Gao Huan all the way to pacify Qingzhou..."
Gao Xi said.
Wang Jing pondered for a moment. Boss Cao did go a little too far sometimes and did a lot of dangerous things. What Gao Xi said made sense. After guessing Da Xia's strategy, the other party might indeed take risks.
At this time, it was impossible for Daxia to send its army north to fight Cao Wei.
Therefore, the other party must feel the real danger and realize the consequences of taking risks before giving up chasing Gao Huan.
By hiding the news about the establishment of the Xuzhou camp and letting the news about the other two camps go, Cao Cao will have the illusion that the Daxia troops are preparing to defend in the southwest and the main force will be in Xuzhou...
The main force of Daxia's soldiers were elite and brave, and they had rarely suffered defeat in the southern and northern campaigns for several years. If they set out from Xuzhou and invaded the Central Plains along the Yellow River, Cao Wei's rear would be really in danger.
Even Cao Cao did not dare to take this risk.
"Well, Zhaoxuan has thought carefully, so I will do as you say!"
Wang Jing made a decision immediately.
…
Cao Cao, who was missed by Wang Jing and Daxia Civil and Military Affairs, was near Zichuan at this time. The terrain to the east was more dangerous, so two brothers, Gao Cheng and Gao Yang, personally led their troops to guard the dangerous place and temporarily blocked Cao Wei's advance.
However, Gao Qi's elite army was defeated and it was impossible to recruit elite troops again in a short time.
At this time, it was all the difficult terrain that prevented Cao Wei's army from spreading.
If Cao Wei is given a period of time to attack by force, or attack from two wings, Gao Cheng and Gao Yang will inevitably be defeated.
But at this time.
Cao Cao received news from the rear... Chen Gong and Gao Shun of Xuzhou surrendered to the Xia army.
"Chen Gongtai!"
After seeing the news, Cao Cao was furious and his face turned blue.
However, after seeing the expressions of Cao Rui and Cao Mao next to him, the anger on his face immediately dissipated, and he started laughing instead.
"King Wei..."
In the big tent, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia
, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan looked at each other and almost asked why the King of Wei was laughing...
"Unexpectedly, Gao Huan still has some destiny, and Chen Gong, in order to delay Gu's army, actually defected to the Xia army in Xuzhou... I don't know how Wen Hou will react to the news after he comes!"
Cao Cao said happily.
When Lu Bu was mentioned, everyone present laughed. Lu Bu's character was unwilling to be inferior to others. They all knew that although Xuzhou was made by Chen Gong and Gao Shun, it was Lu Bu's foundation after all.
If Lu Bu knew about it, he would definitely not let it go...
Of course, this is just the thought of generals such as Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and Li Dian.
Xun You, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia knew that although Lu Bu was tyrannical, he was still a normal person with normal emotions. Wang Jing held Lu Bu's family members, and it was not that difficult to subdue Lu Bu.
Cao Cao is bringing Lu Bu out now just to cover up his emotions and stabilize the general's morale.
"King Wei, now that Xuzhou has surrendered to the Xia army, how should our army respond?"
Cao Ren, who had a very high status in the army, immediately stood up and asked with his hands raised.
Cao Cao said nothing.
Xun You took a step forward, "Our army fought against Gao Qi one after another and won a complete victory. We have captured Dongchang, Jinan and other places. Gao Huan only has Linzi and other places left, and half of the territory belongs to our court!"
"In the past few days, our army has been pursuing for thousands of miles. Our soldiers are already exhausted. Gao Cheng and Gao Yang have led reinforcements to guard the dangerous position and cannot capture it in a short time... I think it is time for our army to withdraw!"
When Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Gao Aocao and others heard the word "withdraw troops", their faces showed unwillingness.
Cao Cao touched his beard and pondered slightly.
Zhang Bin, who was standing aside, noticed the subtle expressions on Cao Cao and many of the generals, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "To the King of Wei, I believe that our army has won a complete victory in this battle. Gao Qi has had his back broken, so we are withdrawing our troops now and waiting for a rest to reorganize our troops." If we attack again after the horse, we will definitely be able to defeat Gao Qi in one fell swoop..."
Zhang Bin is known in history as a talented king. He was able to assist Shi Le, a slave, in establishing the Later Zhao Dynasty. His vision and ability were top-notch.
Of course he could see that withdrawing troops now would give Gao Qi a chance to breathe.
But he also knew that Xuzhou's surrender to the Xia army posed a great threat to Cao Wei. If the Xia army went north while Cao Wei and Gao Huan were fighting, Cao Wei's army would be in danger.
It is necessary to withdraw troops this time. When we go out again, we should first leave troops and horses in the direction of Xuzhou to watch over them, so that we can have no worries.
"Also, there is one important thing to do when we withdraw our troops this time!"
Zhang Bin said seriously.
Cao Cao was moved in his heart and asked with a smile: "I have something important to do? Please tell me, sir!"
Zhang Bin immediately said: "Nowadays, all the heroes in the world have risen together. Whether it is Xia Jun in the south or Gao Huan in the east, they have established a country and proclaimed themselves emperor. They use the title of emperor to attract talents from all over the world..."
"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the deeds will not be accomplished. The King of Wei defeated Gao Huan. He should take advantage of the great victory to persuade Yi, correct Shuo, establish the country and proclaim himself emperor. Only in this way can the power of King Wei be shown to the world. The heart for hegemony!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Bin directly began to persuade him to join.
What he said makes sense.
Among the heroes in the world now, Cao Cao is still the king of Wei. Although his son Cao Pi established Cao Wei and became the founding emperor in history, after entering the world of China, it was Cao Cao who held the power of Cao Wei.
The government system of Cao Wei still relied on the Wei Palace to control the territory under its jurisdiction.
If Cao Cao had insisted on not proclaiming himself emperor, others would have thought that Cao Cao still had attachment to the Han Dynasty, and he might have merged into the Han Dynasty in the future.
After all, Cao Cao's ancestor Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying, the ancestor of the Xiahou family, were the founding ministers of the Western Han Dynasty. The relationship is here. If Cao Cao is defeated and goes to seek refuge, he might still be accepted.
Of course, even if Cao Cao dies, he will not risk his life and defect to the Han Dynasty...
After Cao Pi usurped the throne and established Cao Wei, Cao Cao's family and the Han Dynasty became mortal enemies, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty!
But the people of the world
It is impossible for everyone to know what Cao Cao is thinking. Many people have defected to various major forces in order to become officials. If Cao Cao does not become emperor, then they will not come.
"Jianguo proclaimed himself emperor?"
The eyes of Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others flashed, and Xun You took a deep look at Zhang Bin.
When generals such as Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu heard the words Jianguo and proclaimed emperor, they immediately became excited and applauded, agreeing extremely with Zhang Bin's words.
Under the temptation of becoming the founding hero of the country, the matter of withdrawing troops was directly put in the back of his mind.
There are even some generals who wish to withdraw their troops immediately and return to Bianliang to start the process of proclaiming themselves emperor.
In the big tent, the voices of many generals became a little noisy.
Cao Cao pinched his eyebrows and glanced at them. The excited generals felt his gaze and immediately became quiet.
Cao Cao's eyes stayed on Zhang Bin for a moment longer.
Zhang Bin seemed to not know the consequences of what he just said, and stood calmly.
At this time, Cao Cao really paid attention to Zhang Bin.
As long as someone takes the initiative to persuade people to advance, the entire civil and military affairs of Cao Wei will soon follow suit. Memorials to persuade people to advance will become posts flying all over the sky, which can pile up several baskets.
At this time, Cao Cao could already predict what would happen to Bianliang after withdrawing his troops and returning.
"We'll talk about this later when we get back!"
At the moment, it is just a large tent for the march. It is impossible for Cao Cao to give an immediate answer to Zhang Bin's suggestion.
He wanted to be alone and think about it seriously.
Proclaiming the emperor and establishing a country can consolidate the morale of the army and the people under his command. In the future, there is no need to think about the reasons for conquering the four directions. Is it natural for the emperor to conquer the four directions?
He can also issue decrees and recruit talents in the name of the emperor.
The benefits are many.
The disadvantage is that after proclaiming the emperor, there will be no retreat. If the army is defeated in the future, the whole family will not be safe... But with Cao Cao's reputation, even if he does not proclaim the emperor, there will be such disadvantages. In this case, there is no need to consider the disadvantages.
