The fifth year of Jian'an, the first day of the lunar month.

Li Hu and Han Bao led a group of civil and military officers to go to the council hall of the state pastor's mansion!

Li Yang is greeting the Yang family in the back house!

Setting the province to Yang's morning and dusk is what Li Yang must do every day!

Hearing that Wenwu had entered the palace to ask for a meeting, Li Yang immediately asked Yang for his resignation.

Yang waved his hand at Li Yang and said, "I'll go by myself!" ”

Looking at the back of Li Yang's departure, Yang changed his attitude of not caring, and his eyes were full of worry!

The mother of the son is worried, the Yang family feels sorry for the sons, and there are no eyes on the battlefield, who knows if there will be an accident?

Just when the Yang family sighed for a long time, Cai Yan came with Li Wei in his arms, and when he saw his grandson, Yang's irritable mood also improved a lot!

Yang took Li Wei into his arms, left all his thoughts behind, and began to tease Li Wei!

After a while, the inner room resounded with the laughter of Yang and Li Wei's mother and son!

The Governor's Mansion, the Council Hall!

Li Yang is in the main position, and everyone salutes!

After everyone saluted, Han Bao took the lead and said, "Brother, the army is ready to go on the expedition, just wait for the elder brother to give an order, the army can set off from the camp, and the troops will cross." ”

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The 70,000 army will start from Xiangping and arrive at the Guandu battlefield before February, the weather is getting warmer, and a new round of war between Yuan and Cao should have begun, and at that time, our army can wait for the opportunity to enter the battle." ”

The army starts earlier, you can go slower, no need to hurry, in this way, the physical consumption of the soldiers in Youzhou will naturally be less, although this may waste some food, but Youzhou is not short of food now, for the current Youzhou, saving the lives of the elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield is the most important thing.

"The generals will obey!" Li Yang said in a deep voice!

The generals all lined up and saluted: "The last general!" ”

"Han Bao, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Han Dang, Xu Huang, Zang Ba, and Lu Dai led an army of 50,000 to take the lead and set up camp fifty miles north of Guandu."

"No!" The six of them agreed in unison!

Li Hu frowned and wondered, "Why do you want to go separately?" ”

"Before the expedition, we need to carry out sacrifices and pledge mobilization, which will inevitably delay the fighter plane, so that Ah Bao will go first, and I will arrive later."

"When will I lead the troops out?" Han Bao asked.

"I have ordered someone to go to the barracks to give orders, and I can leave the camp early tomorrow morning." Li Yang said.

Han Bao nodded silently and said, "If the leopard wants to resign to his mother, he will retire first, and ask my brother for forgiveness." ”

"No!" Li Yang shook his head and said in an unquestioning tone: "Which of my Youzhou soldiers is fatherless and motherless?" If you do this, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army. ”

Li Yang's words resonated, the power of example is infinite, Anxiang Hou's attitude of leading by example made the military generals present admire him, they thought that what Li Yang said was reasonable, but they did not dare to intervene, after all, this is a family matter.

Han Leopard nodded silently and saluted: "What my brother said is extremely true, the leopard almost missed a big thing!" ”

"Knowing your mistakes can improve you!" Li Yang nodded with a satisfied face, and said: "Order Han Bao to be the main general, Jia Xu to be the military advisor, and the rest of the people to do their own duties and obey Han Bao's dispatch, if a war breaks out between Yuan Cao in advance, Zhun Er and others will see the opportunity to act, all military actions are based on Han Bao's order, and those who disobey the military order will be killed." ”

"No!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Li Yang waved his hand at Han Bao and the others, signaling them to leave first!

After Han Bao and the others left, Li Yang spoke again and said, "The rest of the people are all on standby in the army, and I am equivalent to leading the troops south at noon on the tenth day of the lunar month!" ”

Li Yang looked at Fu Zhi and the others, and said, "The princess needs to prepare the relevant matters before the expedition in advance, so that you can save some unnecessary trouble." ”

"No!" Frustrated, give up your hand!

The ancients launched a war, and needed to do a lot of preparations, such as sacrificial ceremonies, sacrificing to the gods, praying to the gods to bless the victory of the flag, this solemn ritual was mainly used to strengthen the soldiers' belief in victory, which had to be done by Li Yang himself.

The second is the military oath, which can be understood literally as a pre-war mobilization meeting, in order to boost morale and unite people's hearts.

Then there is the preparation of clothing and armor, which is better understood, that is, to conduct a major inspection of the army's equipment, grain and grass before the war to see if there is any shortage or destruction.

If there is a lack of equipment and food, it must be reported in time to be completed, and the armor and weapons must be carefully inspected to see whether the armor is rotten and rusty, whether the bow and crossbow are cracked and missing, and whether the knives, guns and sticks are all usable, these are the most important things!

Li Yang has issued a strict order that the matter of preparing the armor must be completely sorted out and replaced before the expedition.

Anyone who conceals it and fails to report it, but shirks not fighting on the grounds that he is not fully equipped when he is about to go to war will be killed.

If the marching distance is too far, in order to avoid too much manpower, horses, mules, camels, beasts and baggage vehicles are needed to transport equipment grain and grass, which can not only avoid wasting manpower but also improve transportation efficiency, and in case of bad weather such as rain, it can also shelter equipment and food to prevent rust and decay after the tide.

The number of camels, beasts, and vehicles is also related to the length of the distance that an army can strike, as well as the strength of the army.

Finally, there is the Tao of Chadili, which is "the right time, the right place, and the right people." ”

The position of geographical advantages in the war can be seen, as a factor that can directly determine the victory or defeat of one side, the soldiers of all generations attach great importance to it. If there is a domestic war, then you must first find a good guide, but you must also beware of whether the guide is reliable, if you cross the border to attack the enemy country, then there is more work to be done, first of all, it is necessary to map the enemy country, to understand whether the enemy's mountains and rivers are straight and dangerous, whether the river network is dense, whether the city and customs are solid, where the people and horses are stationed, and the strength of its national strength and the amount of savings are all things to be figured out.

This work is done by the brocade guard, and it has been almost done, and the map has been drawn.

The main reason is that the radius of Guandu is almost a flat river for hundreds of miles, and this thing is not too difficult to do.

Li Yang discussed some matters closely related to the expedition with Li Hu, Fu Zhu and others, and thought of everything that should be thought of, and the rest of the things depend on everyone's ability to adapt to changes, after all, there are too many variables in the war, and Yuan Shao can't fight with you according to the plan he envisioned, to put it bluntly, it is to wait for Li Yang to lead the army to the battlefield and meet the opponent to make a move.

The most discussed thing is closely related to logistics.

Youzhou has been operating for a long time, such as the allocation of grain and grass, and has basically prepared everything that should be prepared.

Now we are waiting for the Yamen to prepare clothes and armor, and the official to prepare mules and horses to carry grain and grass materials, and then after the mobilization of the army, the army can embark on the journey.
