Chapter 174 You don’t even know the current emperor?
After he sat down, the palace maid beside him poured Jiang Mingche a cup of freshly brewed hot tea with a charming look.
"How is the arrangement of talents for the imperial examination going?"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Mingche looked up at Sima Yi and asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, almost everything has been arranged..."
"According to your majesty's order, I have already removed all the ministers on the list and replaced them with new talents."
After pondering for a while, Sima Yi spoke slowly.
With the list Jiang Mingche gave him, he was able to handle the matter very smoothly.
Within two days, he had replaced most of the ministers in the court.
"well done."
Jiang Mingche nodded with some satisfaction...
He was still very confident in Sima Yi's ability to get things done.
"Notify General Xiahou Dun..."
"Tell him to gather his troops. Five days later, I will personally lead the troops to attack Jiang County."
The main purpose of coming to the Grand Council today is to find Xiahou Dun.
Since this guy is not here, I can only ask Sima Yi to convey this message for me.
During this period, the ruler of Jiang County had already begun threatening Da Qiao to marry him.
I'm afraid it won't be long before Da Qiao finally compromises, and I can't drag it on any longer.
Five days later, he would personally lead the army to conquer the Jiangjun Palace.
Kill the ruler of Jiang County, complete the system task, and marry the beautiful Da Qiao.
"Attack Jiang County?"
After hearing what Jiang Mingche said, Sima Yi was completely stunned.
He didn't expect that Jiang Mingche would come here today and directly drop such a bombshell news.
There was Yicheng between Wei capital and Jiangjun, so they directly bypassed Yicheng to attack Jiangjun.
If the ruler of Jiang County asks Liu Bei for help, it would be a bit troublesome if the cavalry of Yunhuang Kingdom were surrounded from front and back.
Moreover, the national economy of Yunhuang Country has just begun to recover, and it is really not suitable for war now.
After hesitating for a while, Sima Yi began to persuade Jiang Mingche.
"Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to attack Jiang County at this time..."
"Oh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Tell me what you think..."
Jiang Mingche picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Sima Yi indifferently.
Sima Yi said this without any surprise in his heart.
If this old guy agrees with what I do right away, then there really is something fishy going on...
"Under your majesty's drastic reforms, Yunhuang's economy has just started to improve..."
"Besides, the army of Weidu needs to rest and recuperate because of years of fighting..."
"Besides, the relationship between Jiang County and Yicheng has always been a little delicate. It is definitely not a good time to attack Jiang County now."
"If Your Majesty leads a large army to attack Jiang County, the ruler of Jiang County will ask Liu Bei for help, which will form a pincer attack from both sides. This will be a very unfavorable situation for our army..."
"It is better to be still than to move. I think the most important thing at this time is to restore the vitality of Yunhuang Country..."
Sima Yi opened his mouth slowly and expressed all his concerns directly.
He also couldn't understand why Jiang Mingche suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Jiang County.
Could it be that Jiang Mingche has some grudge against the ruler of Jiang County?
Apart from this reason, Sima Yi really couldn't think of any other reason.
"Yicheng helps Jiangjun?"
"Liu Bei wouldn't dare."
Jiang Mingche sneered and spoke. He naturally thought of Sima Yi's concerns.
But he didn't think Liu Bei had the courage to challenge him.
Zhuge Liang also went to the last Tang Dynasty International Lantern Festival.
This guy must have already told Liu Bei about his situation a long time ago.
If Liu Bei hadn't had a brain cramp, he would never have jumped out to go against me.
"But......"
Looking at Jiang Mingche's extremely certain look, Sima Yi's expression became a little strange.
As far as he knows, Jiang Mingche and Liu Bei don't seem to have much friendship, right?
Then why was Jiang Mingche so sure that Liu Bei would not help Jiang Jun?
"No buts, this matter has been decided, you don't need to say anything more."
Jiang Mingche waved his hand, with a tone that left no room for doubt.
Without a heart-to-heart talk with Sima Yi, this guy would never be able to figure out why he suddenly attacked Jiang County at this time even if he racked his brains.
"promise......"
Seeing that Jiang Mingche had made up his mind, Sima Yi agreed directly without saying anything more.
Since Jiang Mingche has made up his mind, no matter who persuades him, it will be useless.
He has been working under Jiang Mingche for some time and he knows Jiang Mingche very well.
Jiang Mingche is autocratic and has the final say.
Once he had made up his mind, he would probably only listen to the persuasion of Jiang Mingche's concubines.
Since Jiang Mingche wanted to attack Jiang County, as a subject, he only needed to give Jiang Mingche advice at this time.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can help you seize Jiang County."
Quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, Sima Yi's eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke.
"What's the plan? Tell me about it..."
Jiang Mingche was also aroused a little interest by Sima Yi's words. This guy was once appointed as a military advisor by Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's guest of honor. The main reason was that this guy was Cao Cao's first think tank.
"Since Your Majesty wants to attack Jiang County, we can just split our forces into two groups..."
"A group of people passed through Yicheng and took the land route to bluff..."
"One group of people will take the boat directly to the water route and attack Jiang County at night from the bank of the river."
"Moreover, I observed the celestial phenomena a few nights ago..."
"Seven days later, white dew will fall around the banks of the great rivers, the temperature will drop sharply, and thick fog will rise from the sea at night..."
"With the help of the fog and the attraction of the land, Your Majesty can attack Jiang County by surprise."
After pondering for a while, Sima Yi slowly spoke out his plan.
Using the army to attract Jiangjun's attention, the rulers of Jiangjun certainly could not expect that Jiang Mingche would suddenly launch a night attack.
In this way, it is also possible to directly avoid being attacked from both sides by Jiangjun and Yicheng, which would lead to the annihilation of Yunhuang's entire army.
Jiang Mingche can do whatever he wants without considering the consequences. After all, he is the emperor and can do whatever he wants.
But I can't do that. If I really lose the battle, Jiang Mingche will definitely vent all his anger on me.
He didn't want to bear Jiang Mingche's anger for no reason.
Having seen how powerful Jiang Mingche was, Sima Yi didn't think he could withstand Jiang Mingche's anger.. "What you said makes sense, let's do as you say."
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Mingche directly agreed to Sima Yi's method.
If possible, he naturally wanted to minimize casualties.
"In that case, let's postpone it to seven days later..."
"When the time comes, I will lead the navy to go by water, and you can let General Xiahou lead the army by land to bluff."
"For the specific plan, please discuss it with General Xiahou."
After saying this, Jiang Mingche turned around and left.
Anyway, whether the attack on Jiang County is in five days or seven days, it is the same to him, and he doesn't mind these two days.
Now that his goal has been achieved, Jiang Mingche will not stay in the Military Affairs Office for too long. He plans to leave the palace and find Dian Wei to negotiate.
After all, he had promised Cai Wenji that he would make use of Dian Wei, and Jiang Mingche didn't want to let such a talent go to waste.
Dian Wei is the most powerful general under Cao Cao, and his skills are comparable to Xiahou Dun.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell..."
Looking at Jiang Mingche's departing back, Sima Yi called out respectfully.
After Jiang Mingche left, Sima Yi quickly finished the matters at hand and left the Grand Council directly.
Since Jiang Mingche had given the order, he planned to go directly to Xiahou Dun to discuss the specific details of the deployment of troops and the battle, and then talk to Jiang Mingche...
After leaving the Wei capital palace, Jiang Mingche asked around and went straight to the courtyard where Dian Wei lived.
After pushing open the wooden door of the courtyard, Jiang Mingche saw Dian Wei in the yard, swinging a huge axe and hitting a wooden stake.
Dian Wei's cultivation has reached the diamond level, and the giant axe in his hand is no ordinary item.
Every time the sword was swung down, there was a gust of strong wind in the surrounding air.
The huge axe with a force of ten thousand pounds chopped on the wooden stake, but the stake was not damaged at all.
This wooden stake is also forged from special materials. If it were just an ordinary wooden stake, it would have been shattered long ago because it could not withstand such a huge force.
Dian Wei is a martial arts practitioner. By practicing martial arts, he can strengthen his internal strength by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse his limbs and bones, thereby achieving the goal of increasing internal strength.
You can also achieve the purpose of cultivation by practicing body-building techniques and training your physical body.
Moreover, those who practice through body-building techniques will be much stronger than warriors of the same level who practice by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although Dian Wei is not very tall, he is very strong with his muscular body.
The main reason why he has such a strong physique is because of this reason.
"You are......"
Seeing Jiang Mingche coming, Dian Wei also stopped chopping the wooden stakes.
After putting down the giant axe in his hand, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned as he looked at the young man in black who suddenly broke in front of him.
Dian Wei was sure that he had never seen the other party before and was not acquainted with him.
"Why, you don't even know the current emperor?"
After looking at Dian Wei, Jiang Mingche spoke jokingly.
"The current emperor..."
"You are the emperor..."
After a moment of hesitation, Dian Wei was completely confused.
Although he had heard of Jiang Mingche's deeds, he had never met him before.
After looking at Jiang Mingche carefully for a few times and seeing that he was wearing a black and red dragon robe, he confirmed Jiang Mingche's identity.
"I am Dian Wei, your humble servant. I am honored to meet your Majesty..."
After coming to his senses, Dian Wei quickly bent down and bowed.
Just by looking at the dragon robe he was wearing, Dian Wei could confirm Jiang Mingche's identity.
In the capital of Wei, except for the ruling empress Diao Chan and the real Majesty Jiang Mingche, anyone who dares to wear such clothes outside will be sentenced to death.
He didn't think that the young man in front of him was joking with him. The domineering aura that he exuded was not something that everyone could pretend.
Moreover, when Cai Wenji was treating his injuries before, Dian Wei also heard the little girl describe Jiang Mingche's appearance to him, which was basically the same as the young man in front of him.
Although he didn't understand why Jiang Mingche came to see him, he had to be respectful...
"No need to be polite, please stand up..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
After getting Jiang Mingche's permission, Dian Wei raised his head again and straightened his body.
