Although the Prime Minister and Chief Secretary have the word "Prime Minister" as the prefix, after the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister and Chief Secretary did not belong to the Prime Minister's official, but the shogunate officer of General Grand Sima, and was the official position directly responsible to Grand Sima.

Similar to the post of secretary-general in later generations.

As the chief historian of the Grand Sima Wang Yin, Chen Xian was to a certain extent the representative of the Grand Sima Wang Yin. Therefore, when the Yingchuan quelled the rebellion, Chen Xian was naturally the commander!

As the Chief Censor of the Censor, although Zhu Bo was not a subordinate official of the Grand Sima Wang Yin, according to the Han Dynasty system, Zhu Bo's position as Chief Censor of the Censor of the State of the Great Han Dynasty was the chief officer of the governor of the Han Dynasty.

Yingchuan County belongs to the Yuzhou Governor's Governor's Ministry. In order to demonstrate the court's attention to the quelling of the rebellion, Wang Yin appointed Zhu Bo as one of the commanders in order to make Zhu Bo better take charge of the affairs of the nine counties including Yingchuan with the responsibility of the Censor General, so that he can become the highest commander of the nine counties who were rebelled by Shentu Sheng!

During the Western Han Dynasty, although there was a governor system and thirteen state-level governors were established, these state-level governors did not have actual local resident positions, nor did they have the right to directly lead the counties and counties in the state where they were located. At most, they only had some supervision power.

It was not as powerful as the governor after the Eastern Han Dynasty. It became a local first-level government and managed all counties in its location.

Therefore, the purpose of sending Zhu Bo as one of the main generals was to allow Zhu Bo to take the actual power to command Yingchuan and other counties, so that the nine counties could have a unified leadership, and avoid the county magistrates between these nine counties being ignored by the overall situation of the court due to personal interests.

It can be said that Wang Yin’s arrangement is absolutely appropriate and stable!

Now that Wang Mang was appointed as a grain protection officer by Chen Xian, it is obvious that he has given the greatest contribution to Wang Mang. If Wang Mang really had the ability to eat him in one bite.

Chen Xian and Zhu Bo are also popular.

After all, both of them were officials who had risen up by relying on the power of the Wang family. If they could sell better than Wang Mang, the second generation of the Wang family, at this time, when Wang Mang, the second generation, is lucky enough to become the leader of the next generation of the Wang family, the political investment of the two will naturally be full of returns.

After Wang Mang gained the trust of Chen Xian and Zhu Bo, he immediately summoned Yan You and Wen Qi to discuss the strategy.

Although the army is still a few days away from Yingchuan, this does not prevent Wang Mang, Yan You and Wen Qi from formulating strategies and tactics in advance.

Yan You and Wen Qi were able to join Wang Mang to quell the rebellion in Yingchuan this time, which was also a great opportunity for the two of them.

Therefore, the two of them were also grateful to Wang Mang for his support.

After Wang Mang summoned Yan You and Wen Qi to his tent, he didn't wait for the two to salute him. Wang Mang said directly: "Stop talking, I have asked General Chen and General Zhu to order the officials to suppress the thieves and grain protection for this time. You and the two are my personal generals. Now we will follow me to formulate a specific combat strategy."

Yan You and Wen Qi were not sure about it, and they still didn't know what the function of the grain protection officer was. However, seeing Wang Mang's serious expression, the two of them also suppressed their curiosity and replied: "Here!"

After Wang Mang, Yan You and Wen Qi talked about their enemy situation, both of them also showed admiration in their eyes. They never expected that Wang Mang would take on such an important task!

Originally, the two of them were still muttering in their hearts that the grain protection officer was just a logistics official who protected the army's food and grass.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Mang finished speaking, the two of them suddenly realized that the grain protection officer this time was actually shouldering the heavy responsibility of seducing the enemy!

Such a responsibility is not light, and of course the contribution will be great!

Once you successfully attract the main force of Shentu Sheng to attack and grab grain, as long as you can hold on to a wave and restrain Shentu Sheng’s rebels, this counter-rebellion will be equivalent to victory.

And they will definitely be the first contribution of this battle!

Seeing such an opportunity in front of you, Yan You and Wen Qi's excitement was no worse than Wang Mang at all.

Even more anticipated than Wang Mang!

After all, the two of them have low backgrounds and want to achieve a leap in status, they either get appreciated by noble people or have real skills!

Now the two have been appreciated by Wang Mang, and they have also obtained opportunities with Wang Mang. At this time, the two of them must seize this opportunity no matter what!

Wang Mang said: "According to the latest military report, the Shen bandits are leaving Xu County. Xu County is a large county in Yingchuan, which is the hinterland of Yuzhou. The terrain is flat and the terrain is generally tilted from northwest to southeast. If I use Xu County as bait, what method can I use to resist the attack of Shen bandits? And what method should I use to restrain the Shen bandits from escaping?"

Yan You and Wen Qi heard Wang Mang’s words, both of them showed thoughts.

Although the two have done a lot of military exercises on weekdays, this kind of actual military deduction is the first time for the two.

Wen Qi said: "As the general said, Xu County is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. He thought that the bandits should be extended to Xu County in the southeast, and the terrain should be used to overlook the bandits. This method will definitely be maintained with the bandits for a long time!"

After listening to Wen Qi's speech, Wang Mang did not comment in the first period. He knew that Wen Qi in history was known for his guardianship. He was able to make defensive strategies based on the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain so quickly, which was expected and could not be called a surprise.

Yan You then said: "I think Wen Sima's strategy is very good. The Shen bandits are like bandits, and they are not as good as the imperial heavenly soldiers. If they can lead them to attack us, our army will be able to condescend to control bandits! They will not have the power to fight back!"

After listening to Yan You's answer again, Wang Mang finally spoke.

Wang Mang said: "If the bandits are really like you and are so tempted, how can they cause harm to the nine counties for half a year? We are generals, so we should not only consider one side, but have a general consideration. If the bandits come from the northwest and look down at our army from high to bottom, how should our army deal with it?"

After Yan You and Wen Qi heard about Wang Mang’s question, the two of them immediately showed shame.

Yes, the two of them thought the situation too simply. The battlefield changed rapidly, and God knew what kind of changes would happen then.

If you only consider how to win and ignore other accidents, there will definitely be big problems.

Wang Mang continued: "At present, the tactics we are talking about are all about paper talks, and they are not worthy of relying on. Now when we call two of you to do tactical planning, I already thought of such results."

"Since we cannot argue with a comprehensive battle, the most important thing for us now is to think about how to present a comprehensive battle situation!"

"You and the other two listened to our army's orders and immediately sent a light cavalry to the vicinity of Xu County to monitor the movements of the bandits. I want to use the first-hand information on the movements of the bandits. Secondly, I ordered people to take the map of Xu County and ask the local people in Xu County to make the sand table of Xu County based on the map. With this, we can take a look at Xu County and see the changes of the bandits. Then, we will make detailed tactical planning to make the best of the territory."

Wang Mang was quite considerate. He had to understand the enemy's movements first, and then do sand table deductions to improve his first battle and strive to be foolproof!

After Yan You and Wen Qi heard Wang Mang's military order, they immediately replied: "Abide by the orders in a humble manner!"

Then the two of them sent light cavalry to monitor the movements of the bandits according to Wang Mang's arrangement, and then went to find the map of Xu County, preparing to find locals who were familiar with the terrain of Xu County to complete the Xu County sand table according to Wang Mang's requirements!
