After the important matters were reported, the sky was almost completely dark, and the general's face was already showing a strong look of fatigue.

This time, I inspected the camps and ran around for more than ten days without any feet. After I came back, I didn’t have time to rest and listened to the report. Although the officials were responsible for the specific affairs, even if it was just a control over the overall situation, it would be enough to make people exhausted.

When Shen Zhezi didn't hold power in previous years, he was a little confused. Those who were in high positions did not have the labor of food and clothing, so why did they frequently appear as lazy and foolish rulers?

Only when he reaches such a position can he have a deep understanding. Diligence for a moment is nothing, but it is really not easy to maintain it for a long time. In addition to having strong energy, he must also have a heartfelt love and pursuit of power, and an uncontrollable desire for power. Fighting with others will bring endless joy.

Seeing that the general was exhausted, everyone tactfully surrendered. Shen Zhezi still had some specific matters to ask about, but seeing that it was getting late, they might not be able to find the corresponding chief officer in time, so they gave up. After Huan Xuan and others withdrew, they wrote down the unfinished matters and handed them over to the organization and preparation, and then handled them tomorrow morning.

After that, he took a quick shower and rested, but he only slept for more than two hours. When he woke up, Shen Zhezi was energetic again.

Everything works well, and even the powerful generals in the court and the opposition are so diligent, how dare the subordinates slacken in slack? Before dawn, the Taiwanese officials who were traveling north had already been waiting outside the three tents, ready to report to the generals the progress of their respective affairs.

On the way to breakfast, the general summoned Yu Du, the governor of Jisu who came from Hanoi.

Although Yu Du was named the governor of the grain, his duties were not limited to grain and grass dispatch. Other military weapons, tents, chariots and horses were all within his duties. He could be said to be the chief logistics manager of the Wang Shi. His responsibilities were second only to Yu Tiao, the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue of Taiwan, and even surpassed his nominal Shangguan. He was currently the Ji You who was in charge of the transportation of grain and grass in Shouchun.

"General..."

After entering the tent, before Yu Du could salute, the general waved his hand to signal him to attend the seat: "Dinner first, and talk while eating."

Seeing this, Yu Du stopped being polite. After entering the table, he grabbed the millet cake and chewed it. Everything was simple in the army, even the general did not pay much attention to food.

Half a pound of millet cake quickly entered the stomach, and after the hunger was relieved, Yu Du started to report: "I was ordered to gather war horses a month ago. Now more than 8,000 horses have been gathered. After the Double Ninth Festival, you can reach all sides of the front line one after another. As for the direction of Hedong, because the bandits around Wangwu are rampant, the roads such as Ziguan and Taihang are mostly affected, so you may not be able to escape horses in the east... "

The disadvantage of field battles in the middle lane is that the war horses are insufficient. Although Xingtai has accumulated for several years in this regard, there is still a clear gap compared to Jie Kingdom's uniqueness. In particular, Xingtai Kings' Division, as the main attacking side, is not flexible in tactical choices. No matter how the battle situation changes, the investment of the troops may only be those fixed large city fortresses.

The Jie Kingdom Rangers can carry out targeted guerrilla obstruction based on this. In order to ensure the safety of the food route, it is difficult for the cavalry team of the royal army to carry out targeted attacks.

Speaking of which, Xingtai's disadvantages in this regard are also due to its own reasons. The most cost-effective transportation channel nowadays is naturally waterways, but since the early Central Plains War, Xingtai has been building Fangtou strongholds to attack the waterway channels in the southern Jie Kingdom. Because the destruction was too thorough, the royal army had few mature waterway channels available after advancing north.

Although the king's army has absolute guarantees in terms of morale, it is inevitable that one can make a concerted effort, and two will decline and three will be exhausted. In response to the suppression of field battles, we naturally need to fight back.

Therefore, after the generals discussed it, they decided to deal with a group of field cavalry from Jie Kingdom before the beginning of winter. Because once the beginning of winter, there is a greater demand for logistics. If the enemy still maintains this level of field force at the moment, too many variables will arise.

Hanoi is a large cavalry base in the royal division, but because of the defense of Taixing Taoism, the main force cannot be called easily. The soldiers cannot be called easily, but war horses can be used. Shen Zhezi plans to gather more than 50,000 cavalry mobile forces on Guangzong before the beginning of winter, and first completely destroy the Guangzong stronghold, and at the same time ensure that the Jie army near Guangzong strictly guarded the defensive defense and forced them to retreat backwards without escaping around.

The current three parts of Guangzong, Xiangguo and Xindu are the core war zones where Jie Kingdom supports each other. Once Guangzong is destroyed, this stability will no longer exist. After that, whether it is attacking Xiangguo or directly winning Xindu, the tactical choices can be more diversified.

The current cavalry combat power of the Central Army, including the Fenwu Army, has more than 13,000 people. Because the front line in southern Hebei is longer, it has more than 26,000 people.

Considering the rotation and rest of war horses, there are nearly 30,000 war horse gaps on the battlefield. The newly recovered land in Hebei can solve some gap problems, but it still needs to mobilize nearly 20,000 war horses from Hanoi and Hedong.

"Bandit bandits in the king house? They are so rampant that they can affect the safety of the path?"

Hearing Yu Du's report, Shen Zhezi frowned.

After the war in China began, there will inevitably be some powerful people who are unable to withstand loneliness and want to take advantage of the chaos to make profits. The main ones are the local tyrants in Hebei who are unwilling to naturalize and the mixed Hu forces that were originally subordinate to the Jie Kingdom, such as the Dingling people.

Among the Huhu, Dingling people were not too strong, but they were very active. Even in the early years, they were seen in the southern expedition of Shihu, the master of Jie, and they often formed their own power, did not produce, robbed, and occasionally acted as mercenaries.

The bandits active near Wangwu Mountain were mainly active in western Jizhou. However, after the war in the Central Plains began, Han Huang's Western Route King's Army increased its efforts to eliminate these bandits. In addition, the Hedong army advanced northward to Pingyang, and Xihe County attacked Taiyuan. The situation in Bingzhou also became chaotic. These bandits fled around Wangwu Mountain, which greatly affected the circulation of materials between Hedong and the Central Plains.

As the chief logistics manager of the royal army, Yu Du was also deeply disturbed by it. When talking about these bandits in the Wangwu Mountains, he was inevitably harsh: "These bandits are like locust disasters, and they have no place to live. Although they are difficult to stop the general trend, if they continue to grow stronger, they may become corrupt in the mountains."

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi looked irritable and had no patience with these scabies. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "After winter, the war between each side will come to an end. Pingyang's offensive can be temporarily suspended. Let Li Bing's main force clear the bandits in Wangwu. Han Huang, Hanoi, must also keep the way carefully. Even if he cannot kill them all, he will trap them in the mountains and fields!"

In fact, if they can be carefully entrusted, a considerable number of these bandits in Wangwu Mountain can be used for their own use. After all, these people lack the feelings of family and country and are profit-oriented. As long as Xingtai gives them enough benefits, they naturally do not refuse to use them for Xingtai.

For example, in the old year of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's northern expedition, flooded the seven armies, and shocked China, there were bandits and bandits in the south of Xuchang responding to Guan Yu, causing the situation around Xuchang to collapse and almost forced Cao Cao to move the capital to avoid disaster. It can be seen that although these bandits were just a mess of scattered mobs, if they could use it properly, they could play a significant role.

However, at present, hundreds of thousands of royal troops are distributed on all the battlefields of the Northern Expedition. They have the advantage and are not urgently attracted to this part of the scattered forces for their own use to help the army. Moreover, these bandits are unruly, and only their wealth can touch their hearts. They do not rely on them at critical moments. Instead of spending their efforts to recruit and win over them, it is better to kill them all.

If you cannot be respectful and obedient, then there will be only a dead end. At present, the Bingzhou royal army is already sufficient, and the troops from Tongguan and Hedong are all put into it. There are also the Hongwu Army, Zhenwu Army and the Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers who ended the battle on the frontier. They hurried grass and beat rabbits and took them away in one wave. If they could not do it, it would seem that Li Bing and others were too incompetent.

Yu Du had no objection to the general's arrangement. As for how to allocate strength in the future, it was the issue that Li Bing and other commanding generals should consider.

Afterwards, Shen Zhezi asked about the training of the young men in the Secret Pavilion. There are now thousands of talents in Taiwan reserve. In addition to the parallel Taiwan selection of museums and colleges, some Taiwan officials are unwilling to miss this rare opportunity to stuff their children into it for training. Everyone knows that if they can join, it will be like entering a fast lane and their future development will be smoother.

These young people lack practical skills, but they are better than being pure and pure. Shen Zhezi did not protect them closely, but assigned their own talents to various corpses.

In addition to the combat troops on the front battlefield, Yu Du was responsible for the most important logistics tasks and the most obvious training role was because nearly half of the members were assigned to Yu Du.

These young people may be immature, but at least their cultural qualities are sufficient. Yu Du has benefited so much during this period. When he heard the general ask, he also described the performance of these young people in a small way. Especially some of the outstanding people, he praised them.

Hearing Yu Du's report, Shen Zhezi's face inevitably showed a look of satisfaction. The scale of the station is getting bigger and bigger, and there is always a gap in the demand for talents. If this group of young people can be cultivated, it will be of great significance to the future governance of Hebei.

There are many people on the Taiwan stage now, and there are actually factions vaguely divided. For example, Yu Du originally belonged to the old headquarters of General Zhaowu, and has formed a very huge force with Xie Yi, Xiao Yuandong, and even Shen Yun.

There are also the Shen clan relatives, the iconic Shen Mu, Shen Yun and Shen Jin, and they gradually gained the ability to stand alone. Most of the other tribes have few talented people, and they are also distributed in many important positions.

Mao Bao, Han Huang, Lu Yong, Guo Song and other senior generals all belonged to the old subordinates of the Governor's Office. Although the internal recruits such as Xie Ai were slightly weak in previous years, as Xingtai grew stronger and stronger, especially with the addition of a large number of Guanlong talents, they are gradually becoming more and more prosperous.

There are also disciples represented by Hurun, Bian Zhang, etc., Ji You and others from Jiangdong have good family friendships, and Zhang Tan, such as Hebei, need to be developed urgently. Xingtai is now full of talents. As for the old people who originally occupied the mainstream of the Jiangdong court, with the deaths of a group of old people, their influence in Xingtai has been very small.

As for the talents in the museum who are reserve forces, such as Wang Meng, who have already made their mark, Xie An, Chen Kui and others have also taken off. In addition, a large number of young wise men of the secret hall have been gradually appointed, and the conditions for the heroic heroes and wise ministers in the prosperous era have been met.
