    Chen Xu mobilized troops and generals, and the garrison in the capital reached 220,000.  Although the number of people is large, the combat effectiveness is not optimistic, especially since these armies from different places have their own factions.  Pingyang Hou Luyong can only be regarded as the big bird in the lead. If Chen Xu cannot suppress him with thunderous means, I believe there will be many generals who will "succeed".  Chen Xu killed the chicken and frightened the monkey, but he did not dare to get carried away in the slightest.  When he was ordered to face the crisis, what he had to do was not only to maintain the basic stability of the country, but to put it bluntly, training these 220,000 horses into an iron plate could only be regarded as a prelude to a real war to drive the Oara cavalry out of the Great Wall to solve the problem.  The siege of the capital is the basic goal.  It is worth mentioning that at this stage, he does not even dare to take the prelude lightly.  Chen Xu first proposed the plan to reorganize the "Ten Regiments and Battalions" just to facilitate troop training. Now that he thinks about it, he has to admire his wise strategy of "accidental collision".  If a team wants to truly unite, it must achieve a harmonious state of harmony between you and me.  However, reorganizing the team will inevitably damage the interests of some vested interests.  Confucius said: In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature (Confucius sighed underground and said: Only uneducated people can do such arrogant things), and the imperial court has always taught all the people to serve the common good and to sacrifice their small families for everyone.  However, Chen Xu knew that there was something called "selfishness" in human nature, and selfishness gave rise to various bad roots such as greed, hatred and even jealousy.  Although the country has reached the most critical juncture, and although he has sufficient reasons to deprive the power of those generals who are lying idle, they will never understand.  One person may not be able to make too much noise.  But if a few, dozens or even hundreds of people get together, big trouble may occur.  Once the trouble got out of hand and had to be suppressed bloodyly, even if Chen Xu had overwhelming power, no one would be able to protect him. In this life, no matter how many great achievements he made, he could not cover up his serious mistakes; moreover, strong  If the enemy looks around and creates chaos within, isn't that giving people an opportunity to take advantage of?  Chen Xu had to consider this worst possibility.  Pingyang Hou rebelled and seized power.  Chen Xu attacked forcefully and suppressed them with lightning speed. In his opinion, the greatest significance of this move was deterrence: Pingyang Hou, the most powerful one, was still completely defeated, let alone others?  Only when you don¡¯t have enough confidence can you swallow your anger.  It is precisely because of this that Chen Xu made a series of subsequent actions.  Even so, he did not dare to be too radical.  Boil the frog in warm water, this is the basic strategy he and Yang Yunrui set.  The reorganization of the Tenth Regiment Battalion will inevitably break up the original organizational structure.  At the beginning, it was only the organizational structure that was broken up. The corps commander continued to be corps commander, the hundred households remained the same, and the commander-in-chief of one party was still the commander-in-chief, but he was no longer in charge of the original team.  When all the dust settled, Chen Xu just started to eliminate those people who were just sitting there, and at the same time, he selected talents and assigned them to important positions.  Yang Yunrui listened to Chen Xu¡¯s strategy of ¡°boiling the frog in warm water¡±.  He was simply in awe of Chen Xu: he could talk out such wonderful theories casually and apply them perfectly in practice. Apart from Chen Xu, he had never seen anyone else.  How long has the third child been thinking about this problem?  Yang Yunrui had to think about this problem.  The seventeen-year-old Minister of the Ministry of War, others mentioned Chen Xu and admired him.  There are also jealous people. All they see is the scenery of his life and death, but few people think about the hard work he has put in.  "Third brother, it's getting late today and you're tired too. Go back and rest early. I'm still here." Yang Yunrui saw that Chen Xu's eyes were turning red. He couldn't bear it, especially when he thought of the princes of the clan and the dignitaries of the court. Not only were they  Instead of helping, he stumbled everywhere, and he felt more and more sorry for Chen Xu.  There is a saying by Chen Xu that Yang Yunrui remembers deeply - everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Don't those guys who enjoy glory and wealth understand such a simple truth?  Chen Xu shook his head when he heard this. He had already anticipated the overtime work when he took office as Minister of War. A man is not afraid of bleeding, so how can he be afraid of sweating?  There is something called paranoia in Chen Xu's bones. Just like when he was a killer in his previous life, when he has no choice when doing something, he has to do it even if he doesn't like it, and he has to do his best.  The same is true now. Since he has become the Minister of War, he must do his best.  As for the glory brought by power, Chen Xuruo said it was a bit hypocritical to abandon it like a shoe, but compared to a free life, he would choose the latter without hesitation.  Night has enveloped the earth, and the night is gradually getting deeper. However, the room with a sign saying "No one allowed to enter" in the Ministry of War Yamen is still lit with candlelight. Chen Xu and Yang Yunrui are still discussing preparations for war.  There is no difference between the two on the issue of offense and defense. In Yang Yunrui's opinion, the most ideal way is to keep the enemy at bay, take the offense as the lead, and surround and annihilate the main force of Xunwala. However, given the current situation of the court, it is simply unable to organize such a large force.  large-scale military operations.  Chen Xu frowned, and it took a long time for him to relax.    "Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, open and close to meet the enemy, use the city as a camp, use battle as a defense, mobilize reinforcements, and attack from inside and outside." Chen Xu slowly said these twenty-four words.  As long as the gate of the border town is opened first, the capital will no longer be in danger. In this case, why let the people sacrifice in vain?  The Ora cavalry can basically be said to have grown up on horseback, and fighting to support fighting is their usual practice - when Chen Xu and Feng Che led the 800 forbidden troops to stir up trouble outside the Great Wall, they were just trying to control others' ways.  It's just the body - the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness is to make them trapped, starved, and freeze to death without getting anything.  With more than 200,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the capital and divided into nine cities, the capital will become a large military camp.  When the enemy comes to the city, they do not just stick to it, but fight with the enemy under the city. Fighting at home, all the soldiers can help each other, and the troops can be right or wrong, but there is only one thing: victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed.  After Yang Yunrui listened to Chen Xu's words, he couldn't help but take a breath. This strategy was so risky that it could be defined as crazy. Looking back and thinking about it carefully, if the wall is strong and the wilderness is clear, the Ora cavalry will inevitably be short of men and horses, and their morale will be low, and our own side can be regarded as  If you stand against the water and are defeated, your country will be destroyed and your family will be ruined. How can the whole army and even the people in the capital not fight to the end?  "One thing is going down, the other is going up, I believe that Wala's conspiracy will not succeed."  "Third brother, if I didn't know you well, I would never believe that you have never led soldiers before." Chen Xu smiled and said: "To be honest, I don't believe it either." Yang Yunrui: "" The two of them were close to leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of War.  At midnight, Yang Yunrui's entourage brought two horses and gave the reins to them respectively.  Chen Xu watched Yang Yunrui leave, then he got on his horse and walked freely in the cold wind.  Chen Xu doesn¡¯t like to bring his entourage, so tonight Mengyao came to deliver the meal, so he had someone take her home first. He always felt that a person is best suited to think in a quiet night.  Chen Xu still has many issues to think about, and combat deployment is just one of them. He also needs to consider the emperor's ideas and select talents. Most of the people he promotes will think of him as a good person, and many people will think of a person as a good person.  This naturally leads to the formation of factions.  Military power is a sensitive topic. Even if the emperor has no doubts about the people he employs, how can he not be a little suspicious?  The power in Chen Xu's hands is too great.  Thinking about these various problems, Chen Xu suddenly felt an inexplicable murderous intention. He had struggled on the edge of life and death many times. He was all too familiar with this feeling.  Thinking of this, Chen Xu immediately opened the safety of the pistol at his waist.  "Since you are here, please show up." Chen Xu said loudly
