    Two hundred and seventy-one planning

    Meng Ju is no longer a newcomer to politics. He has already made considerable achievements in discerning people's hearts.  Lu Liulou first talked about the scourge and threat of the northern demon clan, and then mentioned that Yu Wentai, the local tycoon who occupied Huaishuo, wanted to please him. What Lu Liulou thought was actually known without asking.

    But Yu Wentai tried to murder Meng Ju. As a subordinate, if Lu Liulou expressed his forgiveness for his master's enemy, it would be an overstep. In terms of brotherly feelings, this would also be very sorry for Meng Ju. This is why it is difficult for him to speak directly.  .

    It has been a long time since the Black Wolf Gang placed a bounty on me.  If Lu Liulou hadn't mentioned it, Meng Ju would never have remembered that there was a person like Yuwentai in Northern Xinjiang.

    "I'll talk about the Black Wolf Gang after I go back to Dongping to meet them. Let's talk about the demons first. On the sixth floor, which tribes are the demons invading this year and what is their scale?"

    "Governor, this is a long story. I will tell you slowly at the end."

    Before the Dongping War, the strongest tribe on the grassland was the Rouran tribe. They commanded hundreds of thousands of herdsmen and cavalry, nearly 10,000 demon armor fighters, and dozens of surrendered tribes. They were the well-deserved overlords of the grassland.  But in the last invasion of Dongping, due to Meng Ju's almost miraculous bravery, Rouran and their vassal tribe Turks were severely beaten by Dongping soldiers and horses, and they retreated northward.  On the way back, Rouran Captain Agenna launched a mutiny, killed the Rouran Khan, and established himself as the new Khan. However, he was attacked by the original royal tribe.

    In this internal conflict of mutual attacks, the strength of the Rouran tribe was greatly damaged. As a result, the Turkic tribe, a vassal tribe that retreated north with them, saw an opportunity. The leader of the Turkic tribe, Ashina Tumen, suddenly launched an attack and killed the newly minted Rouran tribe.  Khan Agenna caused the Rouran tribe to be leaderless and split again into more than a dozen tribes such as the Yujiulu clan, the Zil¨¹lin clan, the Ermian clan, the Yuetulin clan, and the Avgan clan. However, among them, the Yujiulu clan also  It was annexed by the Turkic tribe, but the Lulin tribe defected to Shiwei. The two tribes had a long-standing feud and had been at war with each other for many years.  .  .

    Seeing Meng Ju's frown, Lu Liulou suddenly realized. He smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Governor, those barbarian tribes on the grassland can be disbanded in three months. Their names are indeed difficult to remember. Next time  Rain and they thought it was a gift from God indicating that they would change their name. If a plague killed a group of sheep, they would also change their name.

    In this case, let me put it simply: now, the most powerful tribe on the grassland is the Turks, and they were the ones who invaded Akagi last time.  The spies stationed in the grasslands of our Dongling Guards have sent back the news, confirming that the current leader of the Turkic tribe is Ashina Tumen. This man is ferocious, good at fighting and very resourceful. While frequently invading our six towns, he also used the plundered property to  Win over other barbarian tribes.  Those who could not be won over, he raised troops to conquer and attack. So far, the Turkic tribe has conquered the Tuyuhun and Montel tribes among the thirteen demons of the grassland.  If we don't intervene, they are likely to become the next grassland overlords.  "

    Meng Ju nodded. He knew from his own historical knowledge that the Turks did unify the grasslands in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties. They invaded the south continuously for hundreds of years and became the biggest threat to the civilization of the Central Plains. It was not until the establishment of the Li and Tang regime that they suffered continuous attacks from the Tang army.  After being attacked, they fled as far as Mobei, and finally fled to Europe.

    But the world he lives in is very different from the history in his memory. In this world, Meng Ju can occasionally see some similarities with the world he knows well: Xie Dongshan, Chen Baima, Murong Chong, these people in the north and south  Figures who were once all-powerful in the two dynasties also appeared in this world; but these similarities disappeared quickly like fireflies in the dark night. As the norm, it was still the dark and strange history.

    Therefore, Meng Ju is not very sure whether in this world, the Turkic tribe will be able to establish a huge hegemonic empire that unifies the grasslands as it did in history.  But if this history really repeats itself - there is no doubt that the northern border where I am located will be the first to suffer.  Therefore, for the sake of others and ourselves, we cannot just watch it appear.

    "Then, do the Turks have any enemies? The kind that have a lot of hatred and will never stop fighting."

    "Of course there is. For example, the remaining tribes of the Rouran tribe. As the former overlords of the grasslands, they are unwilling to become the slaves of the vassal tribes in the past. Now they are vigorously resisting the annexation of the Turkic tribe.

    ??Also, the Turkic tribe and Shiwei tribe are also feuding. Although the Shiwei tribe has a slightly smaller number, it is better because of its bravery and has always been the great enemy of the Turkic tribe.  The two have fought several times over the years, but neither one can do anything to the other - the town supervisor asked this, is it because he wants to use the demons to control the demons?  "

    "Using demons to control demons? It's both right and wrong."

    "Dare you ask the town governor for advice?"

    "The grassland is too big, with an endless territory. Our army goes out to win one or two battles and massacre a few small ethnic groups. This is not?Embarrassed.  But the problem of demonic bandits cannot be solved by force alone.  If our army wins, the demons will flee far away, and our army will not be able to pursue them for thousands of miles, and will never be able to completely eliminate the banditry.  In the long run, to completely solve the problem of demon bandits and win a stable border, we must use the demons to control the demons, use force as a shield, and use strategy as a spear to succeed.  "

    "Ah, Governor, isn't this"

    "On the sixth floor, it is right to use demons to control demons, but there must be one condition, that is, we must have enough strength and prestige! Now, the six towns are frequently invaded by demons, plundering towns and killing people.  In the eyes of the tribe, our six towns are their meat on the chopping block. If you want to kill them, kill them, and if you want to rob them, rob them. The grassland demons respect martial arts, and they despise the weak. How can they be controlled and controlled by us?

    The grassland demons fear power rather than virtue. Our mission is only one, which is to fight and kill!  We cannot sit on the defensive and wait for an attack, but must take the initiative to attack - if the enemy can go, I can go too; if the enemy can kill, I can also kill!  Kill all the demons we see in our sight. Just as the demons make our people cry, we will also make them cry.

    Only by using your illustrious martial arts, brilliant achievements, and creating an invincible reputation can you deter the demons and make them obey orders!

    After returning to Dongping, I plan to organize a conquest, and the target is the Turkic tribe - we can't let them become more powerful!  "

    Staring at the screen in the hall, Meng Ju's eyes were deep and focused. His eyes seemed to have penetrated the screen and the wall, looking at the boundless grassland thousands of miles away.

    "On the sixth floor, the Wei Dynasty traced its roots back to the grassland, and in turn suppressed the grassland. We are sleeping next to a sleeping tiger! Now, without the suppression of the Wei Dynasty, this tiger is about to wake up. At that time,  The first unlucky ones are us!"

    Lu Liulou listened very seriously, and he took a long breath: "The governor is far-sighted and has a far-sighted vision, far beyond ours. The general will obey the order. After returning, he will start preparing for war."

    "Yes. One more thing. After returning to Dongping, I plan to expand and reorganize our troops. On the sixth floor, for six months, you have been in charge of the family. You should know where our problems are, right?"

    Lu Liulou was shocked. As Meng Ju said, he had stayed at home to preside over the past six months. He was deeply aware of the chaos of Dongping's military system and suffered enough for it.

    The armed forces under Meng Ju¡¯s command include field troops from the border army, Dongling Guard¡¯s own armed forces, and rural soldiers garrisoned by local governments.  The troops and horses of each department are in a chaotic organization, with different numbers and equipment. The "brigade" unit alone has many varieties: the Black Room Brigade from Dongling Guard has two battalions and one brigade, while Xiao Heng and Li Fucang's  The border army garrison brigade is composed of three battalions into one brigade, while the quick reaction brigade formed by Meng Ju is only composed of 150 armored fighters into one brigade. This chaotic military system gives the Dongping Military Group  Supply logistics caused a lot of confusion and stress.

    "After I go back, I will set up the Metropolitan Governor's Office and set up a military staff department under the Grand Governor. On the sixth floor, you will take up a post in this staff department and think about it carefully. From now on, our soldiers at the town, brigade, battalion, and team levels will  Horses must be unified, soldiers and equipment must be unified, flags must be unified, military uniforms must be unified, military disciplines and laws must also be consistent - what, sixth floor, what's your expression?"

    Lu Liulou raised his hand with a grimace: "Governor, it's not me, Lu Liulou, who has to shoulder the burden, but this kind of brainstorming thing is what scholars think about. We are just rough and can't even write our own name."  , I really can¡¯t do this kind of water grinding work.¡±

    Meng Ju thought about it and laughed dumbly.  Indeed, although Lu Liulou was quite scheming, this kind of copywriting work involving overall planning was not suitable for him, but he said that finding a few scholars would not work either.

    The reform of the military system is of great importance and cannot be started by just grabbing a few scholars.  This matter involves a lot of things, including military, personnel, equipment, civil affairs and other aspects. The person in charge of this matter must be familiar with all major aspects such as military affairs, logistics, civil affairs and so on, and be consistent with his own military philosophy - Meng Ju started to have a headache, such civil and military affairs  Is there anyone under his command who is almost omnipotent?

    At this moment, a name suddenly popped into Meng Ju¡¯s mind: ¡°Jiang Hai!¡±

    Almost at the same time, Lu Liulou said: "Governor, if you want to handle this important matter, I will recommend you a capable candidate, the current Governor of Chicheng, Jiang Hai. Governor Jiang is well versed in strategy, both civil and military - well, too deep  Mo Jiang can¡¯t tell you what he¡¯s talking about. Anyway, he is different from a rough guy like Mo Jiang, he is the kind of person with brains.¡±

    Meng Ju glanced at Lu Liulou and said, "Jianghai?" After pondering for a moment, Meng Ju finally shook his head: "This is a big matter, but it is not an urgent matter. If you can't get to the sixth floor at the moment, you might as well think about it for a while.  Don¡¯t be in a hurry to decide.¡±

    Lu Liulou was also alert. Seeing that Meng Ju refused to agree, he knew that he was not?Happy rivers and seas.  He took advantage of the situation and changed the topic: "Governor, the situation in the Central Plains is turbulent. We have heard about it from time to time in northern Xinjiang. The Governor came back from there. I wonder if there is anything new?"

    Thinking of the burned-to-white towns and villages he saw along the way, the white bones exposed on the ground, and the skinny refugees he saw along the way, Meng Ju sighed: "When it comes to what I have seen, I would rather be a peace dog than a peace dog."  Leave the people alone. This military disaster is a catastrophe for the Central Plains. No matter who wins or loses between the Tuoba and Murong families, the Wei Dynasty is over."

    Meng Ju stared at the tea cup in his cup, looking at the ripples of tea, he gently put down the cup.

    ¡°On this trip south, I met a lot of people in Luojing¡ª¡ª¡±

    He raised his head and looked at Lu Liulou with piercing eyes. His serious expression made Lu Liulou sit up involuntarily. He knew intuitively that the next conversation would be very important.

    "Some of them came from the south."

    Lu Liulou suddenly took a breath of air: "People from the south?"

    "Yes, they are very concerned about the civil war in our dynasty. According to the judgment of the head of the Ye family, the northern border army will undoubtedly be defeated within this year, but the southern dynasty will not miss this opportunity, and the Murong family will not be their opponent.  If the Southern Dynasty really starts the Northern Expedition On the sixth floor, it seems that the imperial court will not be able to survive for long, so we need to prepare early."

    As for what preparations to make, Meng Ju didn't mention it, but Lu Liulou didn't ask either - it was definitely not preparations for war with the Southern Dynasties.  There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them: the Xianbei court was no longer worth working for, and it was time to find a way out for themselves.

    Lu Liulou asked with great interest: "Governor, the people from the south came to see you. What did they say? What rank of official did they grant you?"

    "It doesn't matter what they said on the sixth floor - to be honest, what they said was very nice, but I don't really believe it. The key is that they took the initiative to contact me, that's what's important."

    Lu Liulou thought for a while, but still shook his head: "The governor is so unpredictable that I will be ashamed in the end. Please give me some advice."

    "The fact that they are looking for me shows that they can accommodate me. As for those border military towns that are relatively far away and pose less of a threat to the central government, as long as we are respectful, the Central Plains regime may leave us as border military towns to block the grassland.  The barrier for the demons to move south. Therefore, no matter what happens to the court, our future is no problem - no matter who becomes the emperor, they will want us Qiu Ba to block the demons in the northern border. To be honest, the Southern Dynasty will grant me a  I don't really care what kind of officer it is. As generals, the most reliable thing we can rely on is the sword in our hands and the soldiers and horses around us!

    I don¡¯t care who wins the world, whoever wins the world will be better than this mess.  After all, our roots in northern Xinjiang are still in the Central Plains. Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, we have all become motherless children. It is too difficult for a tree with broken roots.  "

    Speaking of this, both of them sighed.

    After chatting for a while, Lu Liulou took his leave and sent him away. Meng Ju returned to the hall and sat blankly.

    The room was empty. He was looking at the half-lit red candle in ecstasy, smelling the sweet smell of powder, and thinking that he was staying in a brothel. Meng Ju felt uncomfortable all over - a dignified military general.  The reputation of lingering in a brothel without returning is really not good, and it is also detrimental to one's prestige.

    After much deliberation, Meng Ju decided to simply live back in the military camp.  He greeted: "People from outside, come in."

    Two personal guards came in in response: "Sir, what are your orders?"

    ¡°Inform the brothers outside to pack our things and we¡¯ll go back to the camp right away.¡±

    When the two guards went out to deliver the order, Meng Ju also stood up and looked around to see if any of his clothes and scattered items had fallen off.  At this time, he heard the door curtain behind him move, and a clear female voice timidly said: "Sir, are you leaving?"

    Hearing that voice, Meng Ju's figure suddenly stiffened.  He stood motionless, like a frozen sculpture.

    Light footsteps sounded, and the girl walked up to Meng Ju with light steps.  Seeing her, Meng Ju suddenly felt admiration in his heart: This is really a woman born from the aura of heaven and earth.

    She is neither tall nor short, just reaching Meng Ju's chin. Her long black hair is smoothly coiled around her ears, and a wooden hairpin is inserted diagonally into her bun.  That exquisite and small face was covered with makeup, and her skin was as white as jade, so beautiful that it took your breath away.

    Her eyes are bright, and there is a touch of anxiety in her eyebrows.  She looked at Meng Ju, her lips trembling slightly, her face looking expectant, as if she had something to say but couldn't find it easy to say.

    Somehow, standing in front of this beautiful girl, Meng Ju always felt a little guilty.  He tried to pretend to be calm: "Yes, I'm leaving. Miss Xu, is there anything else?"

      The girl's lips were pursed, but her eyes were slowly turning red. She knelt down gently, bent down at Meng Ju's feet, and said softly: "You humble person, please have mercy on me. Please save me!"

    The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Meng Ju frowned slightly: "Miss Xu, stand up and speak. Who wants to murder you?"

    "If you don't save me, my lord, I will die soon."

    "snort!"

    Hearing the cold groan, Xu Bingyan's heart was shaken, and she lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

    The young man in front of me spoke in a very gentle voice, not too loud, but he enunciated every word clearly and seemed very weighty.  Even though he was sitting on the comfortable Taishi chair, he still had a straight back and sat as straight as a javelin.  When he is fine, he always puts his right hand on his waist, as if he is always holding a knife ready to use. Although he is wearing a scholar's green cloth shirt and his demeanor is not aggressive, Xu Bingyan knows that,  This man was a military attache, and a powerful and extraordinary military attache.

    He stayed at Wanxiang Tower last night. The entire building was surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers, and the entire street was blocked.  Those who sent him here were Lord Sun, the top figure in Shuozhou City, and a group of military generals with bright uniforms. Judging from their clothing and momentum, they were all great figures. Boss Ding from Wanxiang Tower usually  He was considered the number one person in Shuozhou City, but in front of this group of people, he didn't even dare to breathe.  And so many big shots with astonishing momentum came one after another just to send the drunk young man in front of them to spend the night. But when the young man was sleeping, the top figure in Shuozhou, Governor Sun, even went to Wanxiang Tower.  He didn't dare to go in, so he only dared to stand on the street and wait for him to wake up.

    If she hadn¡¯t seen this scene with her own eyes, Xu Bingyan would never have believed it¡ªeven the emperor of the Wei Dynasty had no more magnanimity than this, right?

    Because of this, the first moment she saw Meng Ju, Xu Bingyan knew that the moment she had been waiting for for a long time to change her destiny had finally arrived!

    ¡°In my life, I will never have a second chance to meet such a noble person.
