The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 345

"How much military rations can we mobilize? We must ensure the cost of the Western Regions!" June and July are about to enter, and the wheat is gradually ripening, so Liu Xie is naturally concerned.

Through abdication, Yuan Shao 'inherited' orthodoxy and became the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, which is naturally equivalent to slapping the big man in the face.The key point is that the young emperor passed away due to illness not long after his "abdication". Perhaps it can also be regarded as Yuan Shao, who felt that there was no need to pretend.

All of this filled Liu Xie with righteous indignation, and he wished he could go to Hebei immediately and tear Yuan Shao's body to pieces.

"Your Majesty, thanks to the grain transported from Bashu and the farmland in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, it has begun to recover. After this year's harvest, we are fully capable of sending 30 troops to fight against Hebei for about three months." Zhou Yu replied, "It's just that I'm worried. Would Shi Hui just watch us fight Yuan Shao and do nothing?"

"So, how many troops should I arrange to stop them? 20, 30, or even 40?" Liu Xie complained directly. The previous failure made him very disappointed with these generals.

"Your Majesty, after last year's running-in and intensive training, the strength of our soldiers has been greatly improved. Coupled with the armor and weapons purchased from Shihui, they are already capable of fighting." Zhou Yu replied, "We and Shihui With the deepest contact, the soldiers below all took a breath, hoping to save face on the battlefield. Relatively speaking, Yuan Shao's army is not our opponent at all! The subordinates think that Yuan Shao's side should send 20 elites to go there. At the same time, leave [-] troops in Pei County and Runan County to deal with the army that may go north. At the same time, be prepared to temporarily abandon Runan County and even Yingchuan County!"

"Temporary?" Liu Xie was a little concerned about this rhetoric.

"Fishing always needs bait! Fortunately, after Shi Hui captured the city, he didn't do anything wrong to the local people, so there is no need to worry too much about people's livelihood." Zhou Yu replied.

"It's just that greedy and cunning fish who ate the bait and spit out the hook, what should I do?" Liu Xie asked further. Before the actual results, he still didn't quite believe in the combat power of the army.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Yuan Shao occupies more than half of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and is also the target of the Shihui. Whether it is Xuzhou, Yuzhou, or even Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the biggest feature is the plain terrain. If we have the heart to deal with it, the Shihui will never please!"

"I'll trust you again!" Liu Xie was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head to look at Zhou Yu, "It's only 5 people, can it really deal with Yuan Shao?"

"[-] is still a little difficult!" Zhou Yu smiled, "But there are still [-] soldiers on the Southern Xiongnu side, and Zhang Yan in Bingzhou doesn't seem to be so peaceful. We might as well win Zhang Yan over, and at the same time With the addition of the [-] cavalry of the Southern Huns, it will be much easier to deal with Yuan Shao! Besides, we can also set a bait for Yuan Shao, for example, how about appointing Gongsun Du as the governor of Youzhou?"

"Haha, you are asking Yuan Shao to send people to attack Gongsun Du!" Liu Xie immediately realized.

"Indeed, even if Gongsundu can't be made to resist Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can't ignore the existence of Gongsundu. At that time, some of his elite troops will be dragged into Youzhou by Gongsundu, and Wen Chou is in Qingzhou. How can they resist our advance?" Zhou Yu Said very confidently.

The matter seemed to be settled in this way, and of course it had to go through the court's discussion.However, even if Wang Yun or Yang Biao had opinions on military affairs, it was difficult to control them.The result of the court discussion is at most detailed, and the final distribution of benefits is nothing more than that.

For example, who will attack the land of Hebei?Facing the enemy in the south may be the common wish of the frontline soldiers!They were bullied too hard by Shi Hui before, so they need revenge!
The problem is that some of the 30 people who went on this expedition were transferred from Guanzhong or even from Bashu.There is no problem with the running-in, but they have heard too much about the strength of the military emblem. In their opinion, the best way to gain military merit is to go north!
So after a series of handovers, the troops led by Ma Teng and Sun Ce stayed behind, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were under his command. Their goal was to resist the Hui army who might go north at any time, while holding the existing territory.Generals such as Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Fan Chou, and Guo Si went north to attack Yuan Shao.

Of course, Guandu was not chosen as the location for the decisive battle. After the imperial court conquered Hanoi County, the army of the Northern Expedition had assembled here, and it was not that far away to go to Yecheng.

During this period, new news came out. For example, Zhang Yan had been appointed as the Inspector of Bingzhou by the imperial court and would join the army at any time; at the same time, it was said that Gongsun Du had been appointed as Inspector of Youzhou and was ready to attack Yuan Shao.At the same time, some people also saw the cavalry troops of the Southern Huns on the prairie aggressively and seemed to be dispatched at any time.

These news finally converged on Yuan Shao's side. Yuan Shao, who had just become emperor and had not even registered as a crown prince, was not too surprised by this.He became the emperor openly and aboveboard, if Liu Xie didn't react at all, it would make him worry instead.

There is nothing to be afraid of in an all-out attack.Zhang Yan's reaction, and even Gongsun Du's reaction, were all within Yuan Shao's consideration.

"We bought a lot of weapons and armor from Shihui, although they didn't sell the mechanism called Zhuge Liannu to us. Fortunately, the price is indeed much cheaper than that of the Guanzhong Puppet Dynasty. In the general direction In fact, we and Shi Hui have common interests! I have already proclaimed the emperor, and I don’t believe that he can sit still and have no response!” Yuan Shao listened to his subordinates constantly reporting the situation, looked at the map, and suddenly clenched his fists .

"Has the envoy sent to form an alliance come back?" Yuan Shao shouted suddenly.

"I'm back!" Tian Feng shook his head, "It's a pity that Shi Hui only hopes to be able to do business, and doesn't intend to get involved. However, his attitude makes me a little worried. When we confront the court, will he Will suddenly kill us in the hinterland to expand your territory?"

"He definitely wants to fight, but the puppet court will not let them come in vain, and naturally they will leave heavy troops! In this way, the north will only cost about [-] to [-], otherwise they would not use this method to lure us attention." Ju Shou added.

The counselors on both sides are the real masterminds, and after some calculations, they have already calculated the other side's fiction and reality to the same extent.When the strength is insufficient, it is often necessary to use tactics to make up for it!Whoever counts last will win!

This year, 196 A.D. is about to enter August, and the heat in the north is not so hot. There are three months before November to go on a campaign, and this is the time everyone initially decided on.

It's just that compared with Yuan Shao and Liu Xie, there is one more thing on Shihui's side, that is, Qiu Wei is about to start!
Originally, many women had already passed the Juren examination, but this time Qiuwei Enke was an examination to determine who could become a Juren!Even Cao Jie and Cao Pi, who have been traveling for a long time, have returned to Xiangyang at this moment and are ready for reference.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin's army, Mu Huali's army, and Cenxi's army have already sharpened their swords!None of the three parties made the first move, but one of the three is destined to make the first move!
