In fact, there is nothing to discuss about the military situation. Wang Jing and the officials in the palace have already had the means to deal with it.
The continuous supplies shipped to Jiangxia and Jiangling, as well as the troops hoarded in Jingchu, all proved that the Xia army was ready for a large army to fight.
This was the first time for Lu Bu to participate in such a core understanding.
But Lu Bu also has such qualifications. If nothing else, his heavenly strength can make everyone respect him.
Wang Jing held such a meeting that did not involve Daxia's core secrets. If he didn't ask him to come with him, he would be alienated from him.
Just like in the myths and legends of the original world, the Jade Emperor held a peach gathering but did not invite the Monkey King. He just regarded the other party as a non-staff person. He seemed to have a very high status, but in fact he did not regard him as one of his own at all.
Lu Bu can't react now, but as long as Wang Jing does this, he will instinctively feel uncomfortable...
To win over the general and make him completely integrate into Daxia, we must start from such small things little by little.
Relying only on Lu Qiling's relationship can certainly control the other party, but it can't really make Lu Bu return to his heart.
"This time the Shu Han soldiers and horses move, it is very likely that a general from the Heavenly Realm will take action. General Lu, whether you can stop the Shu Han from leaving Sichuan depends entirely on you!"
Wang Jing looked at the other party and said.
Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will make it impossible for the rebel army to advance under Yiling City!"
Originally, Wang Jing arranged for someone else to be the general manager of the Yiling camp, but now, Lu Bu could only take over, taking the title of General Longxiang and assuming the position of general manager of the camp.
"Okay, I will transfer Chen Gongtai to be the deputy general manager of the Yiling camp. He will be in charge of the government affairs of Yiling and make suggestions for the camp. If we can repel the enemy, I will definitely receive a generous reward!"
Wang Jing said.
When Lu Bu was appointed, Chen Gong, who had stayed in Xuzhou for many years, was also transferred. Xuzhou was originally the foundation of a small faction composed of Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others.
Xuzhou is now a province of Daxia, but Chen Gong cannot do without them as long as he does many things in Xuzhou. They may not have such awareness, but they have essentially become Xuzhou's slaves.
Wang Jing could tolerate meritorious nobles, but before he succeeded in obtaining the position of Emperor of Heaven, the power of the Great Xia Dynasty would belong to him, and the powerful families in various places who might disperse their power would not be able to expand on a large scale.
Especially those whose scale exceeds prefectures and counties and whose influence reaches the provincial level must be suppressed with emphasis. Chen Gong had no such intention, but he had essentially become Wang Jing's target.
Of course, the other party was a hero who took the initiative to donate his land, and Wang Jing would not transfer him to another position like this, quietly suppressing the power of the Xuzhou faction, leaving no one speechless.
Lu Bu himself was also happy to have Chen Gong as his assistant.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Bu had a sincere smile on his face. He felt that Wang Jing was very thoughtful and sent Chen Gong, an old minister, to his side again without deliberately breaking him up. This thoughtfulness made him feel very good.
Gao Fu, Liu Bowen and others in the palace exchanged glances with each other. They could see through Wang Jing's plan, but this kind of thing was a necessary means for the emperor to balance his ministers and control the court. They had a tacit understanding and did not speak.
"Zhaoxuan, and Bowen... there are signs of the Shu Han and the Eastern Han joining forces. If the two join forces, a war will inevitably break out around Jiangling. This battle is related to the safety of Jingchu. I have to go to Jiangling personally to take charge of the situation to avoid any accidents!"
Wang Jing said.
"Your Majesty, Jingchu has Fu Youde, He Ruobi, and General Lu stationed there, which are enough to deal with the troops of the Han Dynasty. Why bother to take risks yourself?"
Bu Zhao persuaded.
Jiangling is about to become the place of the Fourth War, and is the key to the war between Daxia and the Han Dynasty. If King Xinbai goes to Jianglu, he listens to Daxiong Pi, who is the leader of Shang Quanwei, and goes to Jiangling on the day of Gongjing Anding. This is too far.
If something happened in the rear, the front line would not be able to respond in time. Moreover, Wang Jing's identity could easily become a target, causing the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to besieged and killed.
Bu Zhi still remembers the opponents he encountered during Daxia's southern expedition.
Liu Yu was a little too trustworthy, but he was besieged by Wang Jing and seven or eight generals and fell.
He was worried that Wang Jing would be careless and retreat again.
"Don't worry, I have millions of elite troops and many generals to protect me, which is enough to dominate the world. If the opponent really comes to me, I will be even happier!" Wang Jing said with a smile.
The end of the Heavenly Change will be a month late, but Bu Shu's thinking has not completely changed. When he reaches the Heaven Realm, his power has already been attributed to himself. There is no army, no generals, and if Wang Jing appears alone outside, no one can Leave him alone.
Not to mention leaving Wang Jing’s life behind.
Bu Zhi glanced at the others, wanting them to persuade them together, but Gao Fu and Liu Bowen both looked calm and had no intention of admonishing them.
"Okay, now I have decided, there is no need to discuss it any further. After I leave, the bachelors Shen Yi and Xie An, and the privy envoy Bu Zhi will serve as the remaining ministers. If there is any major incident, report it to Jiangling immediately!"
Wang Jing waved his sleeves to express his determination. All the ministers in the palace bowed to accept the order.
Wang Jing had a premonition in his heart that this battle in Jiangling would be his last chance to fight in person.
If Jiangling is defeated, it goes without saying that Daxia will make a comeback in the future if it accumulates strength.
If the Shu Han soldiers and horses can be successfully repelled, and the Eastern Han army in the north can be blocked, then the territory of the Daxia Dynasty will reach its limit in a short period of time, at least ten or decades.
The Eastern Han and Cao Wei in the north, and the Bashu in the west are not easy to conquer.
Even if Daxia had the power to defeat it on the battlefield, it would not be able to swallow up the opponent's territory.
Especially for the Shu Han, there are only a few examples of stations traveling up from Jiangling to attack Bashu in the entire history. The more famous one is Huan Wen who defeated the Cheng Han, and there was a lot of luck in it.
Wang Jing will not easily start a war with other top dynasties before he has captured large areas of territory in the southeast and Lingnan. After consolidating Daxia's territory, his next step will be to develop internal affairs with all his strength.
Gather strength for the Great Xia Dynasty.
After Wang Jing made the decision, the central officials of Daxia in Jinling City immediately entered a state of war.
A large number of officials were busy, some were transporting weapons and food, and some were preparing carriage frames.
The actions of these officials could not be concealed from those who were interested. The spies of other forces hiding in Jinling immediately passed the news back through expedited means.
The spies in Jinling City were inexhaustible to kill and suppress, because the Daxia Dynasty's dominant position in the south caused many forces to want to know Daxia's every move.
Because one action of Daxia can affect the situation in a region.
Even Wang Jing's thought or order can lead to the destruction of a big force.
Jinling has become the core of the entire south.
Under this situation, even if the troops from the Military Intelligence Department killed a large number of spies, it wouldn't be long before new spies would sneak into the city and continue to pry for information.
What Daxia and the Military Intelligence Division can do is hide secrets as much as possible and clean up the spy network in the city every once in a while.
As for information that is generally confidential, or that can be seen by anyone who is interested, the Military Intelligence Department cannot cover it up and can only let it go.
soon.
The changes in Jinling City reached the ears of Feng Yi, Huan Wen and Cao Cao in the north.
They knew Wang Jing very well, and as soon as they received the news, they judged that Daxia was preparing for a war and had already begun to mobilize troops.
As for who Daxia's target is... anyone can tell, it must be Jiangxia and Jiangling.
"Xia Jun's reaction was so fast!"
Feng Yi frowned slightly. He knew that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had sent envoys to Hanzhong to form an alliance with Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, preparing for the two families to attack Jiangling and Jiangxia together.
The Eastern Han soldiers and horses in Xiangyang and Hanchuan and other places are also secretly mobilizing. As long as the Shu Han soldiers and horses arrive, the Eastern Han army will be dispatched to contain the main force of the Xia army and create conditions for the Shu Han to leave Sichuan.
For this plan, Liu Xiu also sent several
A great general will help. However, Xia Jun's reaction was very quick.
Now that the Shu Han troops have not yet arrived, and the reinforcements and generals from the Eastern Han Dynasty have not yet arrived, the Xia army has begun to prepare for war, and is even preparing to send additional reinforcements.
From this point, Feng Yi could feel that the Emperor of Daxia and the civil and military generals of the Xia army were not easy to deal with.
"Where are the Shu troops?"
Feng Yi quickly recovered his emotions, called the deputy general, and asked. The deputy general assisted Feng Yi in sorting out military affairs, mastered military aircraft, and was able to contact military information immediately. He was Feng Yi's confidant. He immediately replied: "The last news sent back said that the Shu army has arrived in Zigui and is making every effort to recruit ships and prepare for it." Crossing the Three Gorges Waterway..." "I understand!"
Feng Qi's eyes flickered slightly. Feng Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded.
If the Shu army does not hurry up and cross the Three Gorges Waterway, when reinforcements from Jinling arrive, the strength and defense of Jiangling and Yiling will be strengthened again.
If the Shu army wants to leave Sichuan, the difficulty will be doubled.
However, before the Shu army crossed the Three Gorges waterway and came to Yiling, it was difficult for Feng Yi to contact the Shu army, and he was unable to send troops to respond. He had few options to help.
"Send a message to Xiangyang and mobilize 100,000 troops to garrison Jingmen to intimidate Dangyang and force Jiangling to divide his troops and go north..."
Feng Yi thought for a moment and called someone to come and give the order.
He also knew that the Xia army stationed in Jiangling and the troops in Yiling belonged to two groups, but now he could only attract the attention of Jiangling and could not influence Yiling.
Except Feng Yi.
Cao Cao in the northern Central Plains had also concluded that a war was about to break out in Jiangling, and even deduced that Wang Jing was very likely to go to Jiangling in person to take charge.
It's a pity that even if Cao Wei thought of this, he couldn't send troops. On the one hand, Cao Wei's strategy lies in Hebei, and on the other hand, Cao Cao is making every effort to rectify his internal affairs, sort out Gao Qi's territory and the remaining people and officials, and want to integrate these surrendered troops and ministers into Cao Wei.
This kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight. Before the internal affairs are dealt with, Cao Wei will be unable to protect itself and will not be able to expand externally.
boom!
The waves beat against the big ship, making a dull sound.
On the Yangtze River, ships full of soldiers were sailing upstream. They had already crossed Anqing and were heading towards Jiangxia City.
After crossing Anqing, the water suddenly widens.
The strong wind was blowing wildly, and the water waves blown up could break the rocks. However, such water waves hit the five-tooth warship, but it was like an egg hitting a rock, and it could not even cause the warship to sway significantly.
"What a good ship... This warship makes people feel like walking on flat ground, and it can make the soldiers even more powerful! No wonder the Great Xia Navy is invincible in the world!"
Lu Bu said with great interest.
The five-toothed ship he was riding on cut through the waves. After any water wave approached the warship, the majestic power it originally contained was mostly weakened by the invisible force, and the remaining water waves could no longer affect the warship.
He has lived in the north since he was a child, practicing cavalry and archery, lances and halberds, infantry combat, and military formations. He has rarely been involved in water warfare. If according to the settings of some fantasy worlds, his cavalry talent is the top S, or even SS. The water battle may only be level.
But after arriving in Xuzhou and approaching the south, I gained a little understanding of water warfare.
Just looking at Xia Jun's warships, you can see the extraordinary qualities of Xia Jun's navy.
Chen Gong on the side smiled.
He knew something about the navy's warships. After all, Xuzhou was close to the canal, and countless large ships passed by the canal every day. The former five-tooth warship was huge in size and not weak in combat effectiveness. It was a powerful weapon in water warfare.
However, these warships have a fatal weakness, that is, they cannot effectively resist the strong energy of the strong. They can only rely on the art of military formations to defend against the phenomena of heaven and earth caused by the strong, such as hurricanes and waves.
If the situation is sudden and the formation cannot be formed, then the warships on the water will become living targets in the eyes of the strong.
Now they are riding the latest navy warship. After research and refinement by many master craftsmen from the Daxia Ministry of Industry, and many Taoist priests and weapon refiners from Daozhengsi, the new five-tooth ship hull blessed the Fubo Zhenyuan Formation.
racket, rudder,
The sails, oars...these parts have also been refined and turned into relatively simple magic weapons.
The keel of the warship is made from the keel of an eighth-level dragon. Various simple magic weapons are combined, and then combined through the magic circle,
This allows the new type of five-toothed ship to weaken wind and waves, allowing it to shuttle freely in strong winds and waves, and it can also suppress the fluctuations of vitality within a radius of ten miles.
In the future, when facing seventh-level generals, the five-toothed ship will also have the means to defeat the enemy, and there is no need to worry about being blown to pieces in the aftermath of the battle between strong men. Well, in the eyes of a truly strong person, the new type of battleship is like a strong ant that has transformed into a beast. Although it still cannot affect the ninth-level strong people, it can still attract some attention.
"A year ago, the warships of the Great Xia Navy were just ordinary. Now the warships can withstand the raids of seventh-level generals... If there are a few more years, maybe the navy's warships can become stronger..."
"Just like Jinling's cloud chariot, it is also being updated. I heard that the Ministry of Industry is researching a flying boat that can fly in the air. In the future, the changes in Daxia will only get bigger and bigger!"
"If we can keep changing for the better, Daxia will become stronger and stronger. By then, not only the navy, but Daxia's cavalry and infantry will also be able to sweep across the world, unstoppable!"
Chen Gong said with some complicated thoughts.
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes moved slightly but he said nothing. "General, Jiang Xia is here!"
"Jiangxia Guard General Lu Meng is greeting you at the dock..."
