...

After leaving Jiang Ruoyan's residence, he and his guards turned all the way to the border yamen. Before he could enter the door, he saw Xu Wenjing waiting outside the door, waiting for Liu Ce to return.

After Liu Ce approached, Xu Wenjing stepped forward and bowed to him. He saw that Xu Wenjing's gloomy eyes were covered with bloodshot. It was obviously because of staying up late in the past few days to arrange the Zhuozhou strategy, but his spirit was full of energy, without any trace of decadence and listlessness.

"Mr. Military Governor, after contacting the Intelligence Department in the past few days, I have a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Zhuozhou. Please come in and listen to my subordinates explain it in detail..."

“Go in…”

The two walked into the yamen side by side. Not far outside the yamen, Huangfu Zhai quietly looked at the figures of the two inside the yamen, pondered for a moment, and began to habitually wipe the bronze mirror in his hands...

As soon as he entered the yamen lobby, he saw Wei Ji crossing his legs and holding a tea bowl with a complacent look on his face, Liu Ce sighed in his heart that Wei Ji was a little different from the royal relatives he remembered. After walking for more than two thousand miles, he never called out a bitter sound and ate casually. What was even more exaggerated was that he could still get along with the soldiers and teach them poems and songs in his spare time. Of course, what was impossible for Liu Ce to understand was that Wei Ji's body seemed to be fatter than before going to the battle. I really don't know how it did it, so I have to admire his optimistic attitude.

Seeing that Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing entered the hall, Wei Ji immediately put down the tea bowl and bowed casually and said, "Oh, you are here. Look at you, you must discuss something important, right? Should I avoid it?"

Liu Ce shook his head: "No need, the prince is also the supervisor of this expedition. How can you hide the secret matter from you? Let's listen together. Maybe you can come up with an idea..."

"I love to hear this..." Wei Ji smiled and narrowed his eyes into a black line when he heard this, and then pretended to be tempted and said, "Then I will give you advice, let me tell you who to hit you first..."

Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing shook their heads at the same time, and then came to the main case together. Xu Wenjing took out the simple road of Zhuozhou drawn by the Intelligence Department and showed the geographical location of the "Six Kingdoms" in front of Liu Ce.

"Mr. Military Supervisor, the current situation in Zhuozhou is the most powerful country in the country of Yan, Linnan, which occupies half of the land in the southern and western parts of Zhuozhou, and claims to have 300,000 troops.

The second is Shi Kui from Zi'an. Although he is hiding in the northern region, his strategic position is in a mountainous ridge, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The ancestor blocks several times and leads a large army to take it off. At present, both sides are in a confrontation.

As for Tian Tuo and Deng Qi who were sandwiched between Zubi and Shi Kui, they were few and few soldiers, so they were not worth worrying about. In order to protect themselves, they could only form an alliance to resist the attack on both sides.

In addition, Tang Rui and Zou Yuan took advantage of the natural danger of the river in the west to temporarily escape the situation of the two strong men's struggle, but they also attacked each other continuously.

If the military governor wants to quell the chaos in Zhuozhou, he must start from the subtle relationship between the forces of all parties as the best strategy. If he attacks for a strong force, he will inevitably cause considerable losses..."

Listening to Xu Wenjing's analysis, Liu Ce tapped the desk with his finger, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and asked, "How did the supplies transported to the Liyang and Zhuozhou borders go on?"

Xu Wenjing replied: "If you go back to the military governor, in addition to the necessary food and supplies for March, our army has prepared 50,000 people for half a year, and have arrived at the border with yesterday.

Now, the troops and horses of Sun Cheng and Sun Camp are guarding together with half of the soldiers of the baggage battalion. My military camp can go on a light battle at any time..."

Liu Ce thought about it and said to Wei Ji, who was sitting on the side leisurely, "Your Majesty, this time I will trouble you to go to those aristocratic places, so that they must collect the food and grass needed for 50,000 people and try to transport it to the border of Zhuozhou within two days. If it really doesn't work, I will exchange the gold and silver they gave..."

"Isn't it enough?" Wei Ji complained when he heard this, with a bitter expression, "Mr. Military Governor, you are now enough for people to eat food and grass for nine months. If you have another 50,000 people, you will be able to eat food for one month. I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to take it out again.

Besides, if you really want food and grass, there are some in the Picheng granary, so just go and get it yourself? Why bother with them? According to my king, they will definitely not want to take out the food again..."

"They will definitely be willing to take out the food..." Liu Ce said confidently, "because their future and life and death are in the hands of this military governor, and they will not break up with the military governor at such a time for just some food.

In addition, the Picheng granary can no longer be moved, otherwise the people of Liyang will not be able to survive the next season of grain collection. If there is another famine or something, no one will expect that the next Heyuan chaos will occur. No matter how greedy the military governor is, he will not want to see the starving people everywhere and eating each other..."

"It's still the kindness and righteousness of the military governor..." Wei Ji sighed when he heard this, "It's much more reliable than the old people in the court who are not doing serious business. I'll give this position to the military governor. According to my opinion, the world will be peaceful in less than ten years..."

Liu Ce smiled and said, "The prince is polite. I will trouble you even more about urging food..."

Wei Ji raised his fat face: "No problem, I am on my body, but Mr. Military Supervisor, after all, is this my duty above the chief clerk of military merit?"

Xu Wenjing said strangely: "Prince, you are so interesting. You actually asked the military merits from the Military Supervisor. You are the prince of the Great Zhou, how could you do this..." At this point, Xu Wenjing stopped what he said.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ji said directly: "How can you be so shameless, right? Military advisor, don't be restrained with me. If you have any words or bad things, let's be comfortable on the spot. I don't pay so much attention to these etiquettes.

I heard that the elite troops of May's military governor in Jizhou will have a big fight against Hu Nu outside the Great Wall. I also heard that the military governor will build a big city near Beihu Lake outside the Great Wall.

With such a good thing, how can I leave me behind with my relationship with you? So my king is not very demanding. I have taken all the troubles of negotiations along the way. But when I look back and discuss the merits, I will give me tens of millions of acres of land outside the border, and then build a big house outside the border. It will also make me feel the unique style of the grassland..."

Xu Wenjing was speechless and thought that a royal prince was so greedy for wealth and wanted to compete for merit with the soldiers in the army. Who would believe this if he said it?

Liu Ce snorted lightly and immediately said, "I promised you that Prince, you are the military advisor, record all the achievements made by Prince along the road. When this expedition is over, we will definitely reward you according to the merits..."

Xu Wenjing nodded and said yes, then asked, "But, even if you do what you said, your fiefdom is in Gucheng, how can you manage the grassland? You must know that the fief prince is a serious crime to leave his fiefdom without leaving his fief..."

Wei Ji said, "Do you really think I want to stay there after breaking the fief? I have decided that when you return to Jizhou, I will go back with you and settle down in Jizhou from now on. Don't worry, I will not beg you..."

Xu Wenjing asked again: "It is a death sentence for the royal family to leave the fiefdom without permission. Prince, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

"I run to the side of the military supervisor. Who can chop my head? Do you think it's the military supervisor?" Wei Ji said to Liu Ce with a smile.

"I'll talk about this in the future. Now I want to tell you how to develop the Zhuozhou strategy..." Liu Ce casually said a few words, pointing to the topographic map on the case and said, "Since the ancestral block in Zhuozhou is the strongest, the military governor decided to attack him first..."

Xu Wenjing hurriedly said, "Mr. Military Governor, Zu Bi is known as a 300,000 army, and his rule is more than 4 million people. Isn't it too..."

"This is why this military governor has prepared so much food!" A cold look shot out from Liu Ce's eyes, "Three hundred thousand soldiers and four million people, think about the pressure in this yourself, and on average thirteen people have to support one soldier,

If children and the elderly, women and children who are unable to work, at most seven to eight people will raise a soldier, think about how the people may not have any complaints? Such a great logistical pressure cannot last long for peace, let alone in areas where the melee is endless?

Therefore, the first step is to use food as bait to make it difficult for the people under the ancestral dynasty to return to their hearts. The army that has lost the support of the people has no logistical support at all and cannot maintain morale for a long time.

The second step is to join the weak and attack the strong. Zubi Shikui is a strong warlord in the region. Let us bypass them and contact Tian Tuo and Deng Qi directly. They can help our army to restrain any of the forces of both sides. Whether Zubi wins or Shikui wins, they will definitely suffer huge losses and reduce many obstacles to clearing the chaos in Zhuozhou for our army.

As for Tang Rui and Jie Yuan, they mainly control them with a steady control. They only need to write a book and promise that they will be allowed to settle in a corner as long as they pay tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty and will not be investigated. However, the throne must be retreated and demoted to the king. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the key is to keep them in control and continue to maintain the status quo.

Then when the Zubi Shikui's forces are destroyed, our military governor will be able to quickly eliminate the entire Zhuozhou as soon as possible. Of course, the details in the inner circle need to be carefully planned. As the same goes, whoever proclaims himself emperor in front of our military governor will destroy whom!”

Xu Wenjing hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Governor is meticulous and admires me very much. I will now draw up a strategy for all forces in Zhuozhou to ensure that the plan of Mr. Governor can be carried out safely..."

Xu Wenjing had to admit that Liu Ce had his own unique insights on any situation, which was much more clever than what he thought of. It seemed that he had to learn a lot, and his vision was not long-term enough...

Wei Ji suddenly asked, "Mr. Military Governor, I have a question. What should I do if you are too tight and they join forces together?"

"It's impossible!" Liu Ce said without thinking, "From the intelligence, all parties in Zhuozhou had been fighting for many years before they became emperor, and they had already accumulated deep grudges. It is true that the arrival of this military governor will definitely be on guard, but if you say that they formed an alliance because of this? Haha, do you think this is possible?

Take a step back and even if they really form an alliance as you said, do you think that the waste group is not the waste? It is still the waste. This military governor can defeat them one by one. In short, from the moment they become emperor, these six people are destined to be dead and burial!”

After hearing this, Wei Ji was excited and quickly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, it's not appropriate. I will ask the gentry that wants him to come out for two months. The military governor said goodbye..."

Xu Wenjing also bowed and said, "Mr. Military Governor, I'll come up with a new case..."

After Xu Wenjing and Wei Ji left, Liu Ce looked at the Beiluo City where Tang Rui was located on the map, and his eyes were tiny.

"You are also worthy of taking the national name Tang? It's really an insult to this word, disgusting!"

At the same time, Liu Ce drifted his mind to Jizhou, Far East...
