The first thousand four hundred and seventeen chapters plot four counties
However, the more this happened, the more Wei Zheng lost confidence in whether he could be reused by Wang Junlin.
And if he does not get the attention of King Qin An, even if he is not as good as his original official position in Wuyang County, although Wei Zheng will not leave and will accept it, he will always feel unhappy and disappointed in his heart.
Therefore, Wei Zheng decided to learn more about the situation in Fanyang County before asking to see Wang Junlin, and prepare a speech to recommend himself during the "interview".

In the yamen of the Far Eastern Army's marching general manager's office, the meeting hall space does not appear to be very large. On the left hand side there is a large row of offset beam racks as high as a person's height. What is placed on the racks are not weapons, but books.
Wang Junlin did not wear official uniform at this time, but changed into a very comfortable white casual shirt with a jade belt tied around his waist, which looked quite casual.
He was leaning on the low couch, reaching out to place the teacup on the table, and waved casually, first to the two female officials Shen Guoer and Yang Kongchan, then to the three civil servants Du Ruhui, Liu Ziming, Liu Jicheng, and Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Wei Daoer and other land camp commanders, as well as the five navy commanders Luo Chunlai, Huang Shaoqiu, Gan Ziqi, Liu Yidong and Zheng Dabiao all bowed and saluted and sat down.
Wang Junlin has always been relatively easy-going in informal situations. He doesn't like everyone standing when he convenes his generals to discuss matters. Everyone has long been accustomed to this. Du Ruhui also tried to remonstrate with him at the beginning, but Wang Junlin ignored it, and Du Ruhui could only make peace with him. The same goes for everyone else - he can't sit while others sit, he should stand!
For this kind of small-scale important meeting, Du Ruhui, Liu Ziming, and Shen Guoer must be there, while the others follow Wang Junlin's wishes. Whoever Wang Junlin sends to summon will attend.
But today, it is the first time in the past few years that all the battalion commanders, especially the naval commanders who are far away from overseas, have been summoned for a meeting.
It can be said that in addition to Fang Qiao, Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of the overall situation in Annan Kingdom on the Goguryeo Peninsula, Zhang Jike, Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong who were lurking in the Luoyang court, Wu San, who had just pretended to be a horse thief and occupied Mayi County, and the injured in In addition to Li Xuanba who is recovering at home, all Wang Junlin's generals have arrived.
"Where is Wei Zheng now?" Wang Junlin glanced at everyone and found that there were still too few civilian officials compared to generals, so he looked at Shen Guoer first and said.
Shen Guo'er immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng entered the county town at an hour and was drinking tea in Fan Yang Teahouse in the west of the city."
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at everyone, and glanced at Shen Guoer. The latter immediately walked to the wall on one side. There was a map hanging on the wall. Shen Guoer stretched out his hand and pulled up a thin thread on the wall. When the rope was pulled, the entire picture rolled up, revealing a huge map below.
"Please see, everyone, this is the map of the entire Sui Dynasty. We only occupy the land of three counties. In addition, Mayi County is only four counties. In addition to Luoyang and nearby counties, the court has complete control over all counties in the world. The huge land is already under the rule of various forces. There are rebels like Wagangzhai, and there are also powerful local families who are defying the imperial court. At present, the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains, and the northwest are beyond our reach with our military strength, but there are other places in Hebei. However, the four counties must be captured as soon as possible and included in the territory of our Far Eastern Army."
"Nowadays, the power in these four counties is in chaos. They are all powerful people who claim to be kings and there are countless robbers and thieves. As early as the beginning of the world's troubled times, I have set a grand blueprint. Not only the six counties of Hebei must be included in our
Under our control, the Central Plains, Jiangnan, northwest, and southwest will also be ours! We develop industry and commerce, strengthen agriculture, emphasize culture and education, train troops and horses, let the people recuperate and accumulate strength, and the purpose is to compete in the world. These powerful and powerful people who control the local areas
If the rebels are willing to surrender to our Far Eastern Army, I will let them live a peaceful and prosperous life from now on. If they are not willing... they will have to fight with each other."
Everyone looked at the map and the vast world, and their hearts were already boiling with excitement. Only by conquering these places could they establish a country and change dynasties, and they would be the founding heroes.
Du Ruhui was the first to regain his composure and said: "Your Majesty, if we launch troops against the other four counties in Hebei at this time, although the court will probably not have the extra troops to intervene, the powerful family with the Lonely clan as the main family will definitely secretly provide more support to the local powerful and rebels.
If we provide more aid and support, it will greatly increase the difficulty of our army's victory, and if the delay lasts for a long time, the emperor may have the courage to launch troops against us."
Wang Junlin nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation of what Du Ruhui said, and said: "What Ruhui said is absolutely true, so I discussed this matter with you and found a suitable time to send troops."
Liu Ziming hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I thought it was not time to send troops to attack the four counties at this time. At least we are not fully prepared financially. Moreover, the war in Yanmen County has been over for less than half a year."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "What Ziming said is true. With the current strength of our Far Eastern Army and the strength of the counties under its control, it is not the best time to send troops to attack the four counties at this time. However, if we consider the overall situation in the world, we will
Can’t wait any longer.”
After a pause, Wang Junlin continued: "According to the intelligence obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau from various forces in the world, Li Mi of Wagang Village will make a big move recently. Li Yuan of Taiyuan County has already taken advantage of the time when the emperor was besieged in Yanmen County.
With the support of the Dugu family and other wealthy families, they secretly control the entire three counties of Bingzhou. The Xiao family, a descendant of the Liang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, has secretly gathered a huge force. A mutiny is imminent. By then, it will be clear how divided the world is. We must seize
Use the time to seize all four counties in Hebei and control the entire land of Hebei before the world is divided."
Liu Jicheng said: "What the prince said is absolutely true. The current situation is indeed against us. However, the imperial court and the powerful families are eyeing us covetously. They think that the attack on the four counties should not take too long, otherwise our Far East Army may be in danger."
Liu Ziming wanted to say something else, but in the end he hesitated. He was recently calculating the cost of food, grass, money, etc. if he attacked four counties at the same time. The results have not been calculated yet. His words of dissuasion are not convincing. He has to wait for the investigation and calculation results to come out.
, persuade the prince and everyone with numbers.
Wang Junlin did not immediately respond to Liu Jicheng's words. Instead, he looked at Shen Guoer and said, "Where are your master and the thirty thousand Golden Wolf Guards now?"
Shen Guoer immediately said: "Reporting to the prince, thirty thousand golden wolf guards have arrived at the border of Youzhou and can come to Fanyang County at any time."
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at everyone, and said: "You can rest assured, since I have decided to send troops to attack the four counties at the same time, I am confident that I will take over the four counties in a short time, and maybe it won't take long.
There is an excellent opportunity to send troops."
