The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 561 Under Prestige
Yan Yan's complaint reminded Chen Ziming that his sense of responsibility for defending the country must go deep into the army, especially the generals in the army, who must have a spirit of not losing an inch of land.

The big Han soldiers should not only focus on the fertile land of the Central Plains. Although the outside world is backward and poor, it is still land. After the reform, it can still support many people.

The earth is just that big, and the land is so little. Now the technology is underdeveloped and the population is sparse, so people living in the fertile Central Plains look down on the land outside the region. But in the future, Chen Ziming, who came from the 21st century, knows very well that the territory of that era , even the slightest bit of worthless space is constantly being fought over.

Countless wars broke out for territory and resources, and it is difficult to count the soldiers who died fighting for a piece of worthless land.

But in this era, as long as one has the heart and is willing to pay such a small price, one can seize unimaginable territories, which Chen Ziming is absolutely unwilling to let go.

"After the unification of the Han Dynasty, I will play the Son of Heaven, emigrate to the border, and build roads at the same time to make the border land as rich as the Central Plains." Chen Ziming said to Yan Yan sternly: "So, during this period of time, you The soldiers and horses must thoroughly investigate all the land in the northwest and delineate the exact frontier."

"No." Although Yan Yan didn't understand why Chen Ziming valued the northwest land, as a general guarding the border, these things are his job: "However, the war will start, and General Zhao Yun once mentioned that once the emperor issued an order to attack the Cao bandits, I will All the soldiers and horses need to go south, and they will be dispatched after listening."

"En." Chen Ziming nodded and said, "This matter is the intention of the military department. Sometimes there will be an order from the military department to prevail, but you will leave some soldiers and horses to guard the border."

Yan Yan nodded to show that he knew, and then said: "The general thought that Wuwei is an important town in Xiliang, connecting Zhangye, Jiuquan in the north, Dizhou in the west, and Jincheng in the south. Wuwei should be the root, and it can take care of the four directions. It can shorten the way of food and grass for the army."

"Yes." Chen Ziming is familiar with the map of the northwest of Liangzhou. Wuwei is indeed an important place, but he still mentioned: "Your Legion should build a suitable grain road to transport grain and grass to Guohuang, Zhangye and other places. Try to solve the problem of food and grass for the soldiers on the border, and don't let the soldiers on the border guard the country hungry."

"No." Yan Yan nodded yes, but Yan Yan was also powerless to establish the grain road. Zhang Ye could say it, but Guo Huang was too far away, and the lack of transport was not enough to consume the grain transport team halfway. Hundreds of soldiers, transporting too many is too wasteful of manpower and material resources.

When he received the order from the military department to send troops to Guo Huang, what he got was that the big man had already canceled Guo Huang's garrison, and there had been no big Han soldiers guarding Guo Huang for a long time.

After some inspections, Chen Ziming had a basic understanding of the situation of Yan Yan's army, and also understood the difficulties of guarding the northwest frontier. After returning, he was going to find a way to solve these difficulties.

After Chen Ziming returned to Jincheng, he learned that Tongguan’s Cao army was frequently mobilized, and that Chang’an, Xianyang and other places after Tongguan were also under martial law. This abnormal situation made Chen Ziming frown and think hard. The final battle is still early.

However, Cao’s army suddenly changed. Once Tongguan Cao’s army attacked Liangzhou, the existing peace would be broken, and Hanzhong and Yizhou would also be mobilized. Way to avoid war.

"No." Tian Feng objected to Zhao Yun's transfer of Yan Yan's troops from the north to the south, and he also knew that it was not the time to start a war, so he said sternly: "The secret report from the secret guards, although the Tongguan guards have been transferred, there is no increase in troops. , Cao Cao did not send any troops northward."

"But Ruotong's ban on attacking Liangzhou, the Zhangxiu Army can't support it alone. Once there is a change, it will miss the opportunity." Zhao Yun, as the general guarding Liangzhou, dispatched the three armies in Liangzhou in a unified manner. He dared not take risks.

Chen Ziming thought for a while and said: "Cao Cao is also resting and recuperating at this time, and he will not take the lead in fighting. Tongguan's abnormal movement should be regarded as the general's prohibition of personal behavior."

Meng Jian who was on the side suddenly said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates believe that the change of Cao's army in Tongguan is related to the sudden arrival of the Prime Minister and the general."

"Oh?" Chen Ziming had a flash of inspiration after hearing Meng Jian's words, and then asked, "Gongwei, what do you mean by that?"

"Report to the Prime Minister." Meng Jian said: "The change of Cao's army in Tongguan is something that happened after the prime minister and the general arrived in Liangzhou. The subordinates believe that it is the name of the prime minister and the general that shocked the world. Next, hurry to mobilize the defenders to prevent the prime minister and the general from attacking Tongguan."

"Hahahaha." Tian Feng laughed and said after hearing this: "It should be so, the names of the prime minister and the general are so powerful that it is common sense for Yu Jin to be afraid."

After hearing this, Chen Ziming was also speechless, whether it was flattery or not, why did it sound a little flattering to him, but thinking about it the other way around, if Cao Cao suddenly appeared in Tongguan, even if he didn't bring a large army, Zhao Yun, who was guarding Liangzhou, would also immediately To mobilize the army, just in case, in this way, it makes sense.

After he figured it out, Chen Ziming shook his head with a wry smile. He had a conscience. He came to Liangzhou for a casual look. He had no intention of attacking Tongguan at all. Now is not the time to anger Cao Cao.

"This matter must be guarded against." Chen Ziming smiled slightly: "Order Zhang Xiu, the whole army is on alert, and closely monitor the movements of Cao's army in Tongguan. If Cao Cao increases his troops in Tongguan, Yan Yan's army can be transferred south. If Cao Cao does not move, then Do not stimulate in the forbidden."

Then Chen Ziming stayed in Jincheng, and he was not sure why Yu Jin suddenly mobilized his troops. If Cao Cao really wanted to attack Liangzhou, he must be prepared. , In case he just arrived at the Zhangxiu Army, Cao Cao mobilized heavy troops to Tongguan when he was stimulated. At that time, it was not up to him to decide whether to fight or not.

Chen Ziming stayed for half a month, saw that Cao Cao had no intention of increasing troops in Tongguan, and knew that Meng Jian's analysis was good.

As Meng Jian said, Yu Jin was indeed afraid that Chen Ziming would lead troops to attack Tongguan, so he took precautions. After Cao Cao learned that Chen Ziming was in Liangzhou, he also wanted to increase troops in Tongguan, but under the analysis of Xi Zhicai, he temporarily gave up the increase. For Tongguan's plan, now is not the time to start a war. Liu Bei is not ready, and neither is Cao Cao.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Ziming left Liangzhou, but Wenpin, who guarded Nanyang, became worried, because his main task was to guard against Liu Bei's troops in Hanzhong, and Chen Ziming's next destination was Hanzhong.
