So he is very relieved now, knowing that the court's finances will be under great pressure due to the two projects, the canal and the Weizhi Road.
But as long as it is completed, the benefits will be endless and it will be the beginning of the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty!
"Okay, since there's nothing for you and me to worry about."
"Then let's deal with all the memorials and official documents on hand."
Zhang Zhengming had a broad smile on his face at this moment. Before, he had been handling most of the things alone. Now he had someone to share the burden. The court was full of talented people, so he was naturally very pleased.
Song Gongwen naturally didn't say much and continued to handle government affairs with his teacher.
Although it was already very late, the two of them had no complaints in their hearts.
Instead, I want to do more things in a limited time.
...
Northern border, Zhenbei Pass!
The original Zhenbei General's Mansion has been changed into the Marshal's Mansion.
At this moment, Zhao Yanye, the Marquis of Shenwu, dressed in military uniform, was sitting in front of the sand table with a serious expression.
Next to him, the generals and soldiers of Zhenbei Pass also sat together, talking constantly and discussing some details of the march and formation.
Everyone present knew that the Khans of the ten tribes of the grassland were about to gather to discuss the next attack on Zhenbei Pass. At the same time, they also received news that those Khans had mobilized tens of thousands of cavalry to the south and were about to join the main army.
Therefore, in the next battle, Zhenbei Pass will once again face an army of more than 200,000 soldiers at the gates.
Although guarding the strong pass, it has innate advantages.
But they have to face the enemy.
They are the most powerful cavalry in the entire Eastern Continent. If they fight one-on-one on the plains, they will have no rivals.
Especially those present, almost all of them had fought against the grassland tribes and knew how powerful they were.
Therefore, at this time, you must be 100% cautious and energetic.
That's why.
They will argue endlessly about the next deployment of troops.
"Alright." At this time, Shenwu Hou spoke softly, "Stop arguing."
"You are all right. When dealing with the grassland army, any defense is never too strong. But the problem now is how to concentrate all ten armies at Zhenbei Pass and prevent them from dispersing."
The northern defense line is very long, and there are other places besides Zhenbei Pass.
As for why the grassland army always came to Zhenbei Pass, it was because behind Zhenbei Pass was a flat plain.
As long as this pass is taken, the grassland cavalry will be able to march southward without any obstruction.
As for other places, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even if it is broken.
They also had to face many complex landscapes, which was undoubtedly fatal to the grassland cavalry, especially since the other lines of defense were very close to the Yan area. The people of Yan were very tough, no less than the grassland people, and were also something the grassland army did not want to face.
Therefore, Zhenbei Pass is their best choice.
But the best choice does not necessarily mean the only choice.
Marquis Shenwu knew very well that after several months of tug-of-war, the patience of the ten tribes on the grassland had basically been exhausted.
Now that the army has been summoned again, they may not continue to attack Zhenbei Pass. Perhaps they will take risks and choose to attack other places.
The army under his command may seem large, but it is impossible for them to defend the entire border line.
Only by concentrating all the grassland people in the same place can we avoid chaos.
Marquis Shenwu has served in the army for many years and fought in countless battles.
He was not worried about the attack from the grassland tribes. His only concern was that the other side would disperse their forces, making it difficult for him to deal with them.
This doesn't mean he's incompetent, but rather that it's a military issue that all defenders have to face. As long as you're on the defensive, you have to understand where the enemy will attack and then develop a strategy to counter it.
In other words, the defender is inherently at a relative disadvantage, and the initiative is in the hands of the enemy.
It is because for many years, the Wei Dynasty has been preventing the northern grassland tribes from moving south.
There are very few forces that take the initiative to attack.
Therefore, every time Shenwu Hou fought a major battle, he would proceed cautiously and keep all situations under control to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
In fact, even in the military, it is very difficult to control the situation on the battlefield, because the situation is ever-changing and no one knows what will happen next.
Zhao Yanye was able to do all these and deserves to be called the number one general of the Wei Dynasty.
Now, the problems he faces are no different from before.
In fact, according to convention.
When the grassland tribes move south, they will attack in three different directions: two feint attacks and one main attack.
With the experience of Shenwu Hou in dealing with grassland armies over the years, he could easily guess who was the main one and who was the feint.
But this time was different, because even he heard for the first time that the Khans of the ten tribes on the grassland had all gathered together because of the invasion from the south. This was unprecedented.
So he made up his mind.
This battle is not that simple.
Even someone like Shenwu Hou began to be cautious.
He guessed that the grassland army would not be the same as usual this time, so he wanted to concentrate the enemy at Zhenbei Pass for a decisive battle, but it was probably impossible to do so.
After he finished speaking, the generals present all lowered their heads, not knowing what to do.
Because everyone knew the worries in the heart of Shenwu Hou, and they were also afraid that the grassland tribes would not play by the rules.
As a soldier, if you fail to defend the northern border, it is no big deal to be dismissed or tried by military law.
