The Three Kingdoms

Most of the reserves of the five western states are in the military warehouses established in Taixifeng. Taking Taixifeng warehouses first is equivalent to controlling the priority.

If you want to win the battle, you must guarantee the logistics. There is no sympathy between the major military regions for the issue of logistics reserves.

"Will it violate the military law?" Someone asked.

"definitely will!"

Zhuge Liang smiled, his gentle smile made all the generals shudder, his eyes swept across the faces of all the generals indifferently: "The root of the reunion of millions of soldiers in Dawu is military law, and no one is immune to the power of military law, so We need someone to bear this military law, for our first theater to bear this military law!"

To put it bluntly, find someone to take the blame.

"What's the worst consequence?"

The scene became a bit cold, Tai Shici frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

Not everyone can afford this scapegoat, the military law is ruthless, and any small soldier will surely die.

It must be them, the commanders of the legion who hold the military power in their hands, to be able to retreat unscathed.

There were only four legion commanders present, Tai Shici, Zhang He, Ma Chao, and Zhou Tai.

That is one of the four of them.

"As long as it doesn't hurt people, doesn't hurt the place, and gives the local people enough face to keep them out of the affair, it shouldn't be a big problem. By then, we will have food and logistics preparations in hand, and the second and fourth theaters will have to give in to us. Although they are unwilling, they will definitely give us a face for food and grass, and if they are beaten in public by a hundred or so army sticks, the matter will probably be exposed!" Zhuge Liang said.

"I'll go!"

Ma Chao pondered for a while, the commander of the four legions, he has the least qualifications, so he is the most suitable, he said in a deep voice: "It is not the first time that the rebellious Ma Mengqi touched the military law, besides, Ma Mengqi led the It is the Parthian Legion, and the reason why the Parthian soldiers seized the granary impulsively can be said to be in the past. This matter is not small, but it is not big. It is not a big problem to have the first theater to take care of me!"

"it is good!"

Pan Feng nodded, stood up, bowed to Ma Chao, and said, "Meng Qi, I leave this matter to you. It's about the honor of my first war zone. Be careful!"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I promise to complete the mission!"

Ma Chao stood up, paid a military salute, and then strode out of the hall.

An hour later, he gathered three thousand cavalry and headed towards Syria.

Wu Jun Second Theater Command.

This general headquarters is located in the northwest of Mesopotamia, between the state of Lu, the kingdom of the Wu vassals, and a mountain range in the province of Antioch of the Roman Empire.

The commander-in-chief of the second theater is Zu Mao.

He only resigned as the commander of the Wild Lion Legion in October last year. He came directly to the west to take up the post in December, and he has been in charge of the army for less than three months now.

The chief of staff was still Zhou Yu.

But now that Zhou Yu has replaced Lu Bu as the commander of the Flying Tigers, the real power has been strengthened a lot.

Compared with the first theater, the second theater has much weaker troops.

There are only two legions, one is the Flying Tiger Legion and the other is the Bashu Legion.

But now the main battlefield is in Syria.

Both the Antioch battlefield and the Egyptian battlefield are secondary battlefields.

The war must be fought first from the Syrian battlefield.

So even if the military secret order arrives, the second theater is not tense, Zu Mao still calmly follows the pace, step by step into the second theater, and controls the dispatch of the second theater. His task is to get the second theater as soon as possible Soldiers and horses are commanded like arms.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, is also familiar with the strength of the various armies of the Flying Tiger Legion. He was also a little impatient when he took office in the Flying Tiger Legion, and he couldn't fully adapt.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Zhou Yu pushed open the door of the war zone's conference hall, walked in, saw Zu Mao staring at the map by himself, and quickly gave a military salute.

"Gongjin, you're here!"

Zu Mao waved his hand and said: "Just now our scouts got the news that there was some movement in the Roman camp less than three hundred miles away from us. They suddenly dispatched two armies to advance to us along the north mountain road and the south waterway. Less than eighty miles away!"

"A change?" Zhou Yu's eyes changed slightly: "Could it be that they want to take the initiative!"

The main force of the Roman army guarding Antioch directly opposite the second war zone is not weak. A Crusaders and a reorganized Parthian army after being disabled will not be much weaker than the Wu army. If they preemptively strike, the Wu army will be somewhat passive. move.

"The snow around us has just started to melt, and the road is not easy to walk. They don't have the ability to attack them for a long distance. I'm afraid they have some tricks!" Zu Mao said. (To be continued.)

[Text 420 Chapter [-] Prelude to the Great War Continued]

"Commander, since the Roman army has already moved first, why don't we send troops to test it?" Zhou Yu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Let's see what they are preparing!"

"With the current situation, the two sides are quite tense. If we are not careful, we may fight first here. We should stay the same to deal with all changes!"

Zu Mao's marching style was quite different from Lu Bu's. 』⒉[-]

Lu Bu was ferocious, and his marching style was also extremely fierce. He always went straight and straight, and fell ten times with one force.

But Zu Mao doesn't have the ferocity of Lu Bu. He yearns to make a decision before making a move. Although he is not as fierce as Lu Bu, he is calm: "Gong Jin, I don't want to make trouble in the whole theater, so I blocked this news. , The reason why I tell you is to let you go on guard yourself. The Roman army suddenly broke out and marched towards my barracks. Rectify the soldiers in the war zone, as for fighting, now is not the time, and I don't want to send troops until it is a last resort!"

Zu Mao paused for a moment, looked at the huge strategy map, and sighed: "I have been in office for a short time, less than half a year, and my orders have not been implemented, and I have lost all my power. Arms, the military order conveyed is also not completely unblocked, so it is inconvenient to fight at this time!"

"The commander intends to let the Syrian side fight first!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was silent for a while, squinted slightly, and glanced at Zu Mao.

They all have the same shortcoming now, and they are indeed some beginners, but this is not the main reason. The failure to fully control the soldiers in the second theater is only one aspect, and more reasons, I am afraid that they are waiting for the outbreak of the Syrian battlefield!

"That's right, we must fight the Syrian battlefield first!"

Zu Mao did not deny this, he turned his head, glanced at Zhou Yu, and said, "Gong Jin, this is no longer a matter of credit between the war zones, but a matter of determining the main force of the Roman army. It is impossible to determine whether the main force of the Roman army is in Syria for a day. , we can’t go to war without authorization!”

The style of the Roman army also changed a lot.

Although he has never confronted Rome, he has studied the battles of these years, just like the Mesopotamian battle in the third year of Tianquan. Mistakes resulted in heavy casualties, and in the end it was a tragic victory, which made the first theater survive for more than three years before recovering.

"The commander is worried that the Roman army will play tricks!"

Zhou Yu's face became solemn all of a sudden, his eyes looked at a strategic military map, and a cold fighting intent flashed across his pupils: "Are you attacking west?"

"It's not impossible!" Zu Mao said, "So we have to be careful!"

"What the commander said is even true, then I really need to lead the army to deal with them and see what they are playing!"

Zhou Yu pointed to a river on the map where the snow was beginning to melt, and asked for orders: "Commander, there is no need to delay. I will set off today and lead an army to advance [-] kilometers southwest to reach the Miraz River here. Hold it here!"

"Ok!"
