Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng were soon sent away by Mi Yang.
Before sending Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng away, Mi Yang gave strict orders repeatedly and repeatedly that no one was allowed to harm them on the road.
The reason why Mi Yang did this was that he was worried that some of his subordinates would hold the concept of "the emperor humiliates his ministers to death" and would attack and kill Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng on the road at all costs.
If someone really did this, according to the current concept, Mi Yang would not be able to punish them afterwards.
Mi Yang's protective attitude, which did not seem to be hypocritical, was reflected in Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng's eyes bit by bit.
Mi Yang is so generous!
They may not show much on the surface, but they are still grateful to Mi Yang in their hearts.
After Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng left, Mi Yang looked at the angry subordinates, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Although for the sake of the overall situation, he could not hurt Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng, the feelings of his subordinates towards him also made him extremely useful.
"Are you blaming Gu?"
If his subordinates have knots in their hearts, Mi Yang will naturally resolve them.
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Ding Feng and others dared not even shout.
What they said is also true.
It's not that Ding Feng and others don't know Mi Yang's good intentions, but the more they know about it, the more uncomfortable they feel.
Just as Shi Bao responded to Mi Yang:
"Bao and others can't stand up for their lives, conquer the Central Plains, and swallow up the south of the Yangtze River, and let the Lord be scolded by the mainland thieves. How can a man endure it?"
After hearing Shi Bao's speech, Mi Yang stood up and came to Shi Bao, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"How can Lu Xun be the only one who has been scolded by the world?"
"Benevolence helps the weak, and the resentment of the strong returns. This is the ancient and modern truth."
Mi Yang's original intention was to comfort Shi Bao, but he didn't expect that after Shi Bao listened to Mi Yang's words, he felt even more uncomfortable.
However, as a capable person, the first expression of discomfort can be anger, but it cannot always be anger.
Shi Bao quickly raised his hands and said to Mi Yang:
"I have a plan that can bring peace to Jiangdong for Great Sima."
Shi Bao's words successfully attracted Mi Yang's attention.
He smiled and said:
"You can tell me."
After receiving Mi Yang's permission, Shi Bao perked up and continued:
"Da Sima can have people copy the war documents of the land thieves and distribute them throughout the army.
In this way, firstly, the sinister face of the mainland thieves can be exposed to the public, and secondly, our army can share the same hatred of the enemy.
There is a saying in the art of war that if you go all out with force, you will be invincible. When the army is united in the same hatred against the enemy, with a wave of the commander-in-chief's flag, our army will be able to directly cross the Yangtze River and threaten Jianye!"
Since arriving in Jingzhou, Shi Bao has personally experienced how much Mi Yang's reputation is in Jingzhou.
Mi Yang's original strategy of recuperation was based on the gradually spreading war-weariness among the army.
But Shi Bao believed that as long as the entire army knew about Lu Xun's insults to Mi Yang, then with Mi Yang's reputation in Jingzhou, the people and soldiers in Jingzhou would be able to muster up morale to fight this battle.
Moreover, Shi Bao also knew that even if his side did not publicize it, the content of Lu Xun's war letter today could not be concealed.
In this case, why not go with the flow and turn grief and anger into strength?
Shi Bao's suggestion is indeed a good trick.
After Shi Bao made the suggestion, Chen Dao couldn't help but stand up and said:
"I believe that since the mainland thieves dare to challenge the majesty of our dynasty, our dynasty will definitely respond with thunderous fury.
The most important part of the Soochow defense line lies in Jiangxia and Chaisang counties.
Grand Sima Buruo ordered Deng, the governor, to lead an army to attack Jiangxia, and then ordered his ministers to lead an army east to Chaisang, in order to contain the situation.
Da Sima, on the other hand, reserved an elite force to lead it personally, and took advantage of the fact that the enemy's north and south forces could not look at each other, so as to attack them in vain.
As long as our army can capture either Jiangxia or Chaisang County, the defense line against Wu will be wide open and the day of destruction is not far away."
Chen Dao has a calm personality, so the strategy he proposed is a three-pronged strategy that seems more secure.
After Chen Dao finished speaking, Deng Zhi couldn't help but stand up and said:
"What Shi Xiaowei and Chen Zhendong said are reasonable.
However, I thought that since the three armies had not moved, food and grass would go first.
Today, there is not enough food and grass in Jingzhou, so Grand Sima Buruo ordered the army to station troops on the border and work with the people to farm.
In this way, we can not only quickly provide our army with sufficient food and grass, but also enable our army to dispatch troops in time when civil strife breaks out against Wu. It can be said to be a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."
Deng Zhi knew that Mi Yang intended to use Zhang Zhao as a breakthrough to cause civil strife in Jiangdong.
In addition, as the governor of Jingzhou, he was well aware of the agricultural situation in Jingzhou, so he proposed this strategy.
After listening to the three people's suggestions, Mi Yang showed a thoughtful look on his face.
It can be said that the suggestions of the three people have merit.
However, Mi Yang believed that the suggestions of the three of them also had shortcomings.
Mi Yang expressed his opinion:
"Zhongrong advocated making an effort to cross the river directly by boat and march across the south of the Yangtze River; Zhendong believed that the enemy should be contained and attacked while it was weak; Bomiao believed that troops should be stationed on the border and move with the camera.
The above three strategies are indeed common strategies for attacking enemy countries.
However, since our Northern Expedition, we have fought many hard battles, large and small, and our army's combat power has suffered considerable losses.
Jingzhou has been suffering from war for decades, with not even one out of ten households left.
Even though I have the intention to divide our forces, if Lu Xun orders warships to be lined up at important crossings and to fortify the city to occupy dangerous positions, then our strategy of dividing our forces to contain them will only bring down ourselves.
In addition, the arrival of our army is not a secret. Lu Xun must have been prepared for it. It would be too risky to adopt Zhong Rong's strategy.
You must know that if you try hard, you won't be able to last long. If you can't win with one blow, what will happen next?
The State of Wu has been our enemy for several years since the Public Security Bureau.
During this period, their rulers and ministers were afraid of my reputation, so they united from top to bottom and united with one heart and one mind. Although I had a plan to cause civil strife, Sun Quan was not a mediocre leader, and there were many talented people in Jiangdong, so this plan could not be effective in a short time.
Therefore, Bo Miao's strategy is not the best.
Now our army has just arrived in Jingzhou and is not familiar with the enemy's situation.
The outposts set up by the enemy are numerous and tightly guarded, so our spies cannot enter and cannot get any information.
If the army has no information from the eyes and ears, and the reconnaissance is not detailed enough, it will rashly send out heavy troops and face huge dangers.
This is to hope for success with a fluke mentality, trying to fight first and seek victory later. This is not a good strategy to preserve the army.
Although Lu Xun issued a letter of war to me, this is the time when the two countries are plowing in the spring, and Lu Xun knows how to fight and will not rush to send troops in the short term.
The enemy does not have the strength to fight quickly, and our army needs to fight for a long time, so why don't we adopt the strategy of stopping by stopping?
There are six important things our army needs to do right now.
First, promote preferential policies to attract people from enemy countries to come to Jingzhou and let them cultivate our fertile land.
Second, soldiers must farm together with the people, and are not allowed to bully and plunder, so that the people of the enemy country know that our army will not invade their property.
Third, implement a policy of appeasement and softness in the border areas, so that surrenders and surrenders among the enemy's generals will come every day.
Fourth, the outpost established by King Xiangyang must be restored to prevent enemy spies from coming over.
Fifth, carry out farming in various border areas so that when war breaks out in the future, our army can obtain food locally.
Sixth, we must give full play to Sun Deng's role and make him a thorn in Sun Quan's belly, thereby gradually disrupting the situation of the rebellion against Wu.
The above six aspects are the must-do strategies to destroy the Wu Kingdom.
If we don't do these things well, the enemy will occupy convenient locations; if we master these things, people and people will come to our side.
The situation today is very clear. To destroy a country is not a temporary matter.
During this period, we must constantly use strategies to understand each other's gains and losses, and we must constantly compete with each other to know each other's strengths and weaknesses.
If you think about taking risks, you will work frequently and your country will be exhausted;
Not caring about the actual situation between the enemy and ourselves will aggravate the tax collection and lack of financial resources.
Don’t be careless!”
After Mi Yang finished speaking, all the officials in the hall showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Then they all surrendered to Mi Yang's plan.
Just when the ministers thought that Mi Yang would be so generous as to forget Lu Xun's provocation, they did not know that Mi Yang's next order stunned them.
"Send an order back to Chang'an and ask Wei Yan, Zhang He, Zhang Yi, Liu Yin and other generals to come to Jingzhou immediately upon receiving the order."
The names of every general that Mi Yang read were not unfamiliar to the ministers in the hall.
Because each of them has a reputation for bravery in the military.
And it is self-evident what Mi Yang's purpose was when he summoned all these fierce generals to Jingzhou.
The two armies are fighting head-on. The more generals trapped in the battle, the greater the advantage!
All the ministers were immediately looking forward to seeing how much damage these powerful generals would cause to the enemy when they cooperated with their own elite soldiers.
Seeing the surprised looks of the ministers, Mi Yang subconsciously touched the long beard under his mouth.
What are you doing looking at yourself like this?
I am a high disciple of Fa Zheng, so I will repay any grievances I have. Isn't it normal?
