"In that case, what should we do?"
Liu Han asked again.
In terms of tactics, Liu Han of course likes Jia Wenhe, a sinister man who traps people without paying for their lives. The idea came from Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, and the thing was done by Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao. What does it have to do with me, Liu Han?
I, Liu Han, have always been a benevolent person who loves others, convinces others with virtue, is generous and generous, understands people and treats people well, and is a great philanthropist who helps the world! Liu Han looked at Jia Xu, who thought for a moment and said: "My lord, whether Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao wins this battle, it will not change our goal of taking Jizhou."
"In this case, we don't need to worry about how they fight, because as long as they fight, they will inevitably suffer losses."
With that said, Jia Xu walked to the sand table and said, "My suggestion is to attack from four directions during their decisive battle. One way, go straight from Shangdang County to Yecheng, Wei County, cutting off Yuan Shao's logistics; the second line goes south from Zhuo County to control the Zhongshan Kingdom. , Changshan State, and Zhao State; the third route set out from Hejian State and captured Xiu County (xīu), cutting off the connection between Qinghe State and Bohai County; the fourth route went south from Yuyang and occupied Nanpi, Dongguang, Chonghe, Take the four counties of Yangxin and capture Bohai County."
(The sand table first appeared during the reign of Emperor Guangwu. "The Biography of Ma Yuan in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records that in the eighth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 32), the local leader in Longxi, Kai Xiao, rebelled against Gongsun Shu, who was in Sichuan, and supported his troops to rebel against the imperial court. Emperor Wu Liu Xiu wanted to send troops to conquer, so he summoned the famous general Ma Yuan to discuss the strategy of entering the army. Ma Yuan was very familiar with the geographical environment of Longxi area. When Emperor Wu asked about it, he piled rice into a model similar to the actual terrain of Longxi area, and used the model to The enemy situation was elaborated in detail, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was full of praise for this concrete image model.) The sand table used by Liu Han is naturally clearer now than during Emperor Guangwu's time. This information is thanks to the efforts of Mi's and Zhen's caravans for several years.
Although it is not as advanced as it will be a thousand years later, it is still amazing enough.
Huang Zhong: "Mr. Wenhe's plan is very good. But if we want to take this fourth route by surprise, the navy should go south and land on Yangxin from the east, cutting off the enemy's southward route in the Bohai Sea in one fell swoop."
Jia Xu: "Exactly. I wonder if General Demou (Cheng Pu) dares to take over?"
Cheng Pu was very happy. It had been four years since the navy was established, but within four years it had achieved nothing except cracking down on smuggling caravans going to Goguryeo, Sanhan, and some water bandits and pirates with little combat effectiveness.
If a soldier wants to climb up, the quickest shortcut is military exploits. The navy feels very itchy watching the army's great victories one after another.
Cheng Pu: "Don't worry, military advisor. If my lord gives orders, I will definitely be able to control the entire Bohai County with a navy of twenty thousand."
"Navy, don't move!"
Liu Han also wanted to use the navy. After all, it could save a lot of trouble, but the navy was his secret weapon. Using the navy in this battle was a waste.
Cheng Pu: "Lord..."
Liu Han: "Demo, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but you have to bear it with me. The navy will be of great use in the future. Exposing the navy too early will affect future operations."
Cheng Pu: "But my lord...I..."
Liu Han: "Demou, the technology of large ships has been broken this year. In the future, shipbuilding will be just dumplings. What you have to do now is to expand the army. When the navy reaches 8 people, you will have military exploits and cramps in your hands."
Cheng Pu: "Yes."
Military orders are like mountains. This is the purpose of the army under the command of King Hejian. Moreover, the Lord has already guaranteed massive military exploits in the future, so he will not participate in today's battle to harvest Ji.
Liu Han: "Zhongde, do you have anything to add?"
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes, "My lord, I don't know if my lord wants Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to die or live."
"What Zhongde means is..."
"My lord, what I want is to let them live."
"Sigh~"
The people present were all smart people, Cheng Yu reminded them with just one sentence, these two people were much more useful alive than dead.
"How cruel!" Guo Jia said in his heart, "If you fall into his hands, you won't die. You have to play enough and squeeze out all the value."
Although Lu Su had only joined the army not long ago, he had a preliminary understanding of the advisers under King Hejian. Dong Zhao and Tian Feng were good at government affairs, Ju Suo and Xi Zhong were good at military strategy, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were good at tactics, but Jia Xu was He is better at manipulating people's hearts. Cheng Yu is the most different. Cheng Yu likes to slowly play people to death.
"Fortunately, we are not against them, otherwise nine lives would not be enough."
Liu Han naturally wanted to understand Cheng Yu's meaning, "Zhongde, it's easy to say that Yuan Shao is afraid of death. As long as the army presses past, it will inevitably flee south, but Gongsun Zan..."
Cheng Yu: "My lord, Gongsun Zan is actually more afraid of death than Yuan Shao."
As he spoke, Cheng Yu pointed to the sand table: "The army in Hejian can't just capture Xiu County and cut off Gongsun Zan's logistics. They should also send a surprise army south to capture Shū County."
"Yuan Shao will definitely flee south to Yanzhou after Ye City is captured. If he can bear it, Yuzhou is not impossible, but Gongsun Zan will not go to Yanzhou. Yanzhou is in chaos, and Gongsun Zan has a bad reputation, so he will definitely be besieged by the princes, so he Only go to Qingzhou."
"I heard that the commander of Qingzhou Plain is named Liu Bei."
Liu Han: "When did Liu Han go to Qingzhou?"
Cheng Yu: "When Gongsun Zan attacked Qinghe Kingdom, he went to 'open up territory' for Gongsun Zan."
"If Gongsun Zan is blocked by Qian County, he will definitely ask Liu Bei for help. If Liu Bei doesn't come, we will definitely inflict severe damage on Gongsun Zan. If Liu Bei comes, we will be able to hunt rabbits."
Liu Han was sure, "He will definitely come!"
"The brand name of the Han clan clan can no longer be used, but the reputation of benevolence and righteousness cannot be lost."
Since he knew Liu Bei would come, Liu Han couldn't treat him badly. "It doesn't matter if Gongsun Zan runs away, but if he encounters Liu Bei, he must be severely injured. It's best to kill him."
Liu Bei's life is tougher than a cockroach. The self-made Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty is much more difficult to deal with than the wife Cao and Jiang Dong. For this reason, Liu Han doesn't mind giving him a blow to reduce his dimensionality before he develops.
"I'm not Cao Cao, and I won't discuss heroes over wine with you Liu Bei."
After everyone heard Liu Han's words, they didn't understand why the Lord valued this mat weaver and shoe seller so much, but since the death order was issued, it was easy to execute it, and it was not difficult anyway.
After the formal analysis is done, it’s time to start.
Before the troubled times, Liu Han had been preparing for several years. So far, the three counties of Hanoi, Henan Yin, and Hedong under his rule, including the newcomers, have a population of more than 1000 million.
For the first-line combat corps, the newly acquired Hanoi garrison stationed 3 people, the Hedong garrison station 3 people, and the Henan Yintun garrison station 4 people. They are already a hundred thousand troops, but there is no second-line garrison army here.
In Bingzhou, there are 2 front-line troops in the north, of which 4 are stationed in Guanghe County; in Youzhou, because the battle line is longer, there are 18 front-line troops in the north, and there are also [-] people stationed in Guanghe County, and then there is Bingzhou The second-line garrison in the north is [-], and the second-line garrison in the north of Youzhou is [-], for a total of [-] troops.
As for the south, the second-line garrison of Bingzhou is 19, and the second-line garrison of Youzhou is [-], but the number of combat troops is as high as [-].
Calculated in this way, Liu Han had 40 front-line combat troops and 20 second-line garrison troops in the army during his silence, for a total of 60 people, including 20 cavalry in the first-line combat army and only [-] cavalry in the second-line garrison.
Of course, although the navy is expanding, it can currently only provide 2 people on board, but the number of naval personnel has reached [-], so the combat personnel will be expanded to [-] and the auxiliary personnel will be [-]. The navy will temporarily stop expansion.
Therefore, in order to plan to move south in the future, Jizhou, which has a population of millions and is one of the world's granaries, must be controlled by itself. (End of chapter)
