If an emperor wants to gain recognition from history, he must be both strong in both aspects of civil and military achievements and can be used to achieve both. Only in this way can he be recognized by history and become a promising king of a generation.

Needless to say, Guo Peng is very strong in both civil and military skills. Not to mention anything else, just a change of officials' selection model for imperial examinations is enough for him to be blown up by his descendants, let alone the fact that he has no defeat in the world.

So Guo Jin always feels that he is Alexander.

But he didn't have anything either.

In terms of civil governance, Guo Jin has now achieved the political achievement of promoting monetary reform.

However, this political achievement takes time and requires a large amount of silver reserves and accumulation, and it will not work in a short period of time, so it cannot be seen for the time being.

In addition, the Grand Canal and the Grand Chi Road began during the reign of Guo Peng, but it ended during his reign, so the credit was half of him.

It was equivalent to him lying still, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he could get the three great achievements in civil administration, laying the foundation for the political achievements of the Xingyuan Dynasty and laying the foundation for his presence as the second emperor of the Wei Empire.

Therefore, Guo Jin did not feel urgent in terms of civil governance. His political status was already relatively stable and not worth worrying about.

The problem lies in martial arts.

A large part of the establishment of Guo Peng's identity as a powerful emperor and the consolidation of power came from his character as the God of War. His unparalleled force laid the foundation for his political power. He was so strong that it was hopeless that his power was so great that it was worshipped.

Guo Jin has no such foundation.

In terms of martial arts, if you don’t fight for yourself, don’t give real money, and do a real sword and gun, you can’t build martial arts, you can’t build your own merits and the army’s recognition of yourself.

He needed military victory, not to mention a lot, but at least a few important military victory worthy of historical records to continue the world's view of Emperor Guo and prove that he was also a powerful military emperor.

The martial arts of piercing and sweeping holes in the four major states that Guo Peng left to him cannot be regarded as his martial arts.

He had to start a new job before he could build his martial arts.

However, the number-one enemy in the surrounding platoon has indeed been killed by Guo Peng, and no one is left.

The crises left behind during the former Han Dynasty were everywhere, and there was nothing left now. This established Guo Peng's prestige, but also made Guo Jin feel that it was difficult to move forward.

After thinking about it, he remembered the Kangju incident that had a certain impact in the court at the beginning of the 13th year of Yande.

That is what happened when Guo Peng pacified the Western Regions.

The Western Regions Punishment Battle occurred in the eighth and ninth years of Yande. When the war reached its final stage and the Wei army besieged Dayuan, Kangju Kingdom once supported Dayuan to resist the Wei army and dispatched 30,000 troops to help Dayuan fight.

At that time, the 30,000 troops were defeated by Zhang Fei's troops in Wei's army, and the head of the commander was cut off by Zhang Fei, thus dismantling the fighting will of the Dayuan people and indirectly destroying the Dayuan Kingdom.

Now the Dayuan Kingdom no longer exists.

In the ninth year of Yande, Dayuan became the Xixi Protectorate of the Wei Empire.

Cao Ang, the first Wei Empire protector of the West Protectorate, has served as the West Protectorate of the West Protectorate of the West Protectorate of the West Protectorate of the West Protectorate of the West Protectorate, and his term of office is about to be completed and he is about to return home.

Because he went to the western frontier to become an official, he built the western Protectorate from scratch, and worked hard and made great contributions. Once Cao Ang's term ended, he would definitely return to the central government to take up a position, and he would definitely become Guo Jin's right-hand man - because he was a family member of his mother.

Moreover, when he was young, Guo Jin and Cao Ang had a good relationship, at least better than Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others.

In order to give him a better future after returning to Luoyang and become his capable helper, Guo Jin also felt that it was necessary to fight during this period of time.

To clean up Kangju, let the Central Asian countries have some ideas that should not have because the Central Plains Empire changed to emperors.

It accumulated some war merits for Cao Ang to facilitate him to take up a high position after he was transferred back to the central government.

Guo Jin himself also needs to use this war to establish his prestige and prove to the world that he is not a rubber stamp.

To sum up, this war is actually a must-fight.

With this idea, Guo Jin found Guo Peng and proposed this matter to Guo Peng, hoping to get Guo Peng's guidance and recognition.

"If you think this is OK, then of course you can. Just prepare your logistics and don't make the army's supply insufficient because the road is too far. Ensure that the army's logistics is always the most important way to win in battle. This has always been the magic weapon to defeat the enemy for your father."

Guo Peng smiled: "You have just ascended the throne and do need to establish your authority through a war. As long as you think you can, then it is natural. Don't hesitate and don't worry, the Wei army will not let you down the military rations and military pay you provide to them."

After being recognized by Guo Peng, Guo Jin felt confident that this war could indeed continue.

So in mid-to-late March of the first year of Xingyuan, Guo Jin went to the staff platform to convene an imperial military meeting, convened all staff members from the staff platform, and called on the Ministry of War, Guard generals and other related personnel to hold a meeting together.

"Let's get straight to the point. Gu has never liked to go around in circles. You guys, Gu decided to use military force against Kangju to punish Kangju's country to punish Kangju's country for a few years ago without knowing how to reflect on it."

Guo Jin was straight to the point and did not hesitate: "At the beginning of the ninth year of Yande, he was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to lead troops to conquer the Western Regions, and won one after another, and broke through to Dayuan. At that time, our army was sure to win, but he never thought that the King of Kangju sent troops to rescue Dayuan.

At that time, General Zhang Fei, the commander of the Beiting Protectorate, led 10,000 cavalry to defeat Kangju's army, annihilated 20,000 enemies, and completely defeated Kangju's army. The King of Kangju was frightened and closed the country to defend himself. He no longer invaded, but he never sent envoys to accuse him.

They seemed to want to regard this as never before, and there was no compensation or explanation for the casualties caused by our army. When our army had just conquered Dayuan, it was already at the end of its strength, and had no logistics to blame Kangju. As a result, four years have passed.

For four years, Kangju has not taken any measures to plead guilty, apologize and apologize. Just pretend that there is no such thing. Our country needs time and needs development, so we have no time to ask for guilt and resist. But this is not a reason not to ask for guilt. Anyone who dares to fight against us, Wei must pay the price for this!”

Guo Jin slapped the table with anger on his face: "Don't ask King Kangju to come to Luoyang to take the thorns and apologize, and I am ashamed of being the Emperor of Wei! What do you think?"

The ministers and generals looked at me, and I looked at you, showing joy.

As long as there is war, there will be their merits and the army will be rewarded, and everyone will have benefits.

The Wei army won the battles step by step and never failed. Everyone just lamented that there were too few wars, the enemy was too weak, and there were not enough merits to win.

Since the ten-year rebellion of Yande, the Wei Empire has not launched a large-scale war for several years, and the military reform has been completed.

The nearly 600,000 permanent troops were selected from the goblins, but now there are only 300,000 absolutely elite permanent troops and very reserve troops calculated based on the population number.

This military system has been operating in accordance with the new regulations for several years and has been operating in a relatively mature manner. Now is the time to verify whether the new military system can adapt to the needs of the country.

Now there is a rare war, how could they stop it?

It's too late to push!

A group of people immediately expressed that His Majesty was wise and that this was the time when a war was needed to prove that even if the old emperor abdicated, the new emperor could lead the Wei Kingdom to continue to be powerful.

Therefore, it is very necessary to launch a war, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the Kushan Kingdom in the Western Regions will not have any strange thoughts.

Guo Jin needs war to show his strength and majesty, and the war against Kangju Kingdom is the best opportunity.

So the whole country agreed that the conditions for launching the war had been fully reached, and everyone supported the launch of the war.

Next are the various details of the war.

For example, who is the head coach, who is in charge of logistics, which army is mobilized to be responsible for the offensive, etc.

The Zhenxi Protectorate has only 10,000 permanent troops, and the mobile border guarding troops under the military service system has 20,000.

To deal with Kangju Kingdom, a country with a large scale with some servants, 10,000 elite troops and 20,000 new soldiers, it is obviously not enough. At least 30,000 people are required to show the anger of the Wei Empire and the ability to launch wars.

In war, all the Western Regions troops cannot be dispatched out to fight, so in theory, this war is not enough to rely solely on the 30,000 troops of the Xidu Protectorate.

According to the principle of sending troops nearby to reduce losses, Guo Jin decided to draw 5,000 elite troops from the Beiting Protectorate and Annan Protectorate to go to the Zhenxi Protectorate to participate in the battle, and gather 20,000 elite troops out.

Then we will be dispatched from the central government.

Although the distance was long, Guo Jin decided to mobilize troops from the central government and mobilize the elite Central Guards to go to the Western Regions to participate in the war, so as to demonstrate the emperor's will.

Of course, the most important thing is to help him maintain the situation.

Guo Jin decided to draw 20,000 elite cavalry from the Central Army to rush to the Western Regions.

It was also decided to let Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Heng and Cao Tai enter and become officers participating in the war to accumulate experience and make achievements.

Considering the significance of this war, Cao Zhen and Guan Ping, who were in the imperial guards, were also thrown into the Central Army to attack together.

In this way, there are 40,000 elite troops in standing troops who can attack and fight, which can basically make the whole country of Kangju tremble.

The army was almost ready, so Guo Jin ordered the central cavalry to set off quickly and strive to rush to the Western Regions to participate in the war as soon as possible.

Then there is the candidate for the coach.

Cao Xiu, the commander of the Zhenxi Protectorate, is an excellent candidate. He has also served as the Western Regions Protectorate and made achievements. He is very familiar with the situation in the Western Regions and is very skilled. The only problem is that his qualifications are too shallow and his age is not very old.

In this war, Guo Jin decided to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a veteran who had participated in the Western Regions War, participate in the war together to increase the deterrence and success rate of the army, so Cao Xiu's qualifications are not enough.
