Chapter 307: Pedantic Views.
According to regulations, the garrison generals of the legions in various places are not allowed to leave their posts without Ye Kun's permission.
However, Zhong Tiankui relied on his reputation as the best in the world and did not take Ye Kun's military order seriously, and just came.
"Master Ye, I know you are preparing for war."
Zhong Tiankui clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to be the vanguard and lead my troops to fight our way out of Ziwu Valley and directly take Chang'an!"
"Ziwu Valley?" Ye Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I really don’t understand why there are so many idiots who want to fight to the death in Ziwu Valley!
After the Three Kingdoms period, many famous generals paid tribute to Wei Yan and personally verified Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley strategy. As a result, all of them died on the spot!
Before Ye Kun traveled through time, he went on a self-driving tour to Ziwu Valley with his classmates.
It was raining that day. When they were halfway through the journey, they received an alarm that there were five landslides ahead. Ye Kun was so scared that he quickly turned back and ran away with the off-road vehicle!
In the later industrial intelligent era, if you want to pass through the Meridian Road, you still have to rely on God’s favor, let alone in ancient times?
Zhong Tiankui was very confident and said, "General Ye, as long as you prepare food and fodder for me, I will rush out from Ziwu Valley and the Chang'an defenders will panic and flee the city."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Military operations need to be kept secret. General Zhong, don't worry. If I really want to fight Xiahou Chang, you will definitely have the opportunity to make achievements. If you conquer Yong and Liang states, you will be the governor."
Zhong Tiankui said: "General Ye took Yongliang and two states, and I took Chang'an, which made it impossible for the enemy to take care of both ends!"
Ye Kun waved his hand: "You go back to garrison and train your troops well. If you want to fight Xiahou Chang, I will allow you to leave Ziwu Valley!"
Ye Kun had no idea what to do with this stubborn guy.
If you really want to die, I won't stop you.
Zhong Tiankui was overjoyed and left after thanking him.
Zhuge Feng has always been worried about Zhong Tiankui, and said to Ye Kun:
"This man is impulsive, arrogant and rude. He will definitely rebel in the future. Let him lead the troops out of Ziwu Valley alone. Once Xiahou Chang promises him a high position and generous salary, he will definitely surrender! At that time, he will become a great threat to us!"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry. It will be difficult for his five thousand soldiers to get out of Ziwu Valley. Even if they do, only half of them will be left. If he dares to betray me, I will naturally find a way to deal with him."
Zhuge Feng nodded and left.
Time flies, and it’s New Year again in the blink of an eye.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people in Chengdu came to pay New Year's greetings to Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong, bringing gifts.
This is the people's heartfelt gratitude and respect, and everyone's face is filled with smiles.
All the major counties also sent gifts and cattle, sheep and other livestock.
Ye Kun could only receive officials from all parties, and let Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan be responsible for receiving the people and returning the greetings to everyone.
Among the people, many people sent their children to serve in the army.
Because in Ye Kun's military camp, students not only learn how to kill enemies and fight, but also learn culture and various skills.
Serving as a soldier under Ye Kun for three years, you will be a talented person in the future!
Ye Kun accepted all those who came and sent them all to the recruit camp, where he started training them step by step.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Ye Kun ordered all military units in various places to enter level one combat readiness.
The logistics department began to produce tin foil beef jerky and transport it to Hanzhong.
Gongsun Erniang brought Ding Ding to ask for a meeting with Ye Kun.
Ye Kun asked: "Two junior sisters, how many Mohist disciples have you recruited recently?"
Gongsun Erniang said: "We now have a total of 800 Mohists. We knew that Senior Brother was going to attack Guanzhong, so we came here to serve you."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "This time I will not only attack Guanzhong, but I will launch a full-scale attack on Xiahou Chang. My strategic goal is to at least take over Yong and Liang states. If possible, I will take Chang'an and Guanzhong."
Yongliang and Liangzhou are the key points of the world and the national defense. They connect a line to the vast desert and control the throat of the five counties.
Although this place is not very wealthy, it is extremely important. It was once the military, political, cultural and economic center of northwest China.
Take over the two states of Yong and Liang, and the Silk Road will be under Ye Kun's control!
With the Silk Road, it was possible to establish stable trade relations with the countries in the Western Regions, Rome, and the Huns in the north.
By then, Ye Kun's iron pots, porcelain, Shu brocade, and glass will all be worth money when shipped out. They can be exchanged for large quantities of livestock and furs, and even oil, from the Western Regions and the Huns!
Not to mention the location in Guanzhong.
If we take over Guanzhong, we will be able to shake the world!
Gongsun Erniang listened to Ye Kun's plan and whispered:
"I can lead my Mohist disciples to go ahead and explore the way for you, and gather information!"
Ye Kun pondered and said:
"When I attacked Yizhou, I also sent out 300 death warriors to sneak in first. But the people sent out are very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Junior sister shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Mohist School. I can't let you take risks."
In times of chaos, no one is a fool.
Once a fight breaks out, both sides will impose martial law throughout the territory and search for spies.
Any suspicious persons found will be detained, tortured, or even beheaded!
Gongsun Erniang insisted on her own opinion and said, "Brother, don't worry. We, the disciples of the Mohist School, have our own ways to save our lives. If we really die, no one will be to blame."
Ye Kun couldn't persuade Gongsun Erniang, so he nodded: "Then you lead one or two hundred clever Mohists to sneak into Yong and Liang states and cooperate with me from inside and outside. I will raise an army in February and fight across Qinling Mountains at the end of the month."
Gongsun Erniang smiled and said, "Then I will set off immediately. When I have any news, I will inform Junior Sister Ding Ding and have Ding Ding report to you."
Ye Kun felt strange and asked:
"Junior Sister Gongsun, besides sending letters by carrier pigeon, is there any other way for you and Ding Ding to communicate quickly? How can you send messages back after you go to Xiliang?"
Gongsun Erniang smiled and said, "That's all thanks to my senior brother for inventing the telescope. Ding Ding and I have developed a set of flag signals that can be used to send messages. In addition, we can also leave Mohist secret codes on fixed trees or rocks."
It turned out to be a flag signal!
Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "I will also ask the scouts in the army to research a set of message tree communication methods. You can go and discuss it."
Flag signals have long been used in the military.
In ancient times, there were no loudspeakers or instant communication during large-scale warfare.
The troops were commanded by beating drums, sounding gongs, and various flag signals.
Different flags have different meanings.
Generally speaking, the soldiers would watch the movements of the big flag.
Wherever the flag points, we will charge there!
The message tree was a later invention of the West. It was similar to semaphore and used wooden boards of different colors and shapes, combined together and placed high up, to transmit messages.
If there is a telescope, good visual conditions, and complete facilities, it only takes half an hour to transmit a message over 200 kilometers.
However, using a message tree to transmit messages requires many transfer stations, just like the beacon towers on the Great Wall, to relay messages.
Ye Kun’s current battlefield communication and command is still relatively advanced, because he has telescopes and fireworks flares!
Gongsun Erniang took the order and went with Tintin to find Ye Kun's signalman to study the latest flag signals.
Just when Ye Kun was making great preparations for battle, Huangfu Lin from Tianmen County and Yan Liuhai from Shuangya Mountain sent letters at the same time by carrier pigeons.
Wu Hou Xiao Dequan attacked again and organized a large army by land and sea to attack Huangfu Lin and Yan Liuhai separately!
Xie Tong, Han Chun and others were all shocked and immediately suggested to Ye Kun:
"Lord Ye, Xiao Dequan from Jiangdong has invaded again, and he seems determined to win. We should send troops to resist the enemy, and don't send troops to Guanzhong for the time being!"
Ye Kun sneered: "This is a pedantic view!"
