Chapter 18 [Military Planning]
The first plenary meeting convened by Yan Baihu was officially and successfully concluded at 2 p.m. on the same day.
Subsequently, Yan Baihu set up a banquet to entertain them, firstly, to welcome them to join and express their sincerity, and secondly, because Yan Baihu had a lot of meaning, because now he needs to develop the city, and it will cost a lot of money, so he has no way to "praise", as long as it is replaced.
Yan Baihu was very satisfied, and what was a little surprising was that after this banquet, the loyalty of Wang Lang and others had really improved, and Hua Xin, who had the lowest loyalty, also had 86 loyalty points at this time.
As for Hua Xin, Yan Baihu still attaches great importance to him, and he is also considering whether to secretly give him a "reward" later, but in the end he gave up, because he can't "favor one over the other", if it causes unnecessary misunderstandings, it will be troublesome.
But that night, Yan Baihu held a small meeting again, and Hua Xin was fortunate to attend under his special instructions.
This small meeting is not the kind of plenary meeting before, but a rather solemn "military meeting", which is also an order that Yan Baihu found that could be executed after appointing Yu Tuo as a military advisor, and it is also a setting that was not in the game before.
However, it has to be said that this "military conference" directive is still very necessary, and compared with urban development and construction, in the current situation, the military may be more important.
There are very few participants in this "military conference", except for Hua Xin, who was specially invited, there are only Yu Chuan as a military advisor, and Yu Quan, who is quite valued by Yan Baihu, plus Yan Baihu himself, there is no one else.
Around 7 p.m., everyone had arrived, and the meeting place was changed to a command post located in the military school grounds.
But before Yan Baihu could speak, Hua Xin jumped out first.
"But the lord wants to plan the military? Xin's status is low, I am afraid it is inconvenient to participate, please avoid. โ
"Hehe, Hua Xin, as a right servant, you are my important minister, why are you cheap? Where is the lowly status? Yan Baihu didn't care, "And, don't you think it's strange?" At today's meeting, I assigned tasks to everyone else, except for you and Yu Fujun, why is that? โ
"Hua Xin doesn't know, please make it clear." Hua Xin arched his hand and said.
"Huh."
Yan Baihu smiled, he probably knew that Hua Xin might not have paid enough attention to him, so he had some resentment.
This is also the most troublesome place for strategists, especially these second-rate strategists, they are very smart, but they have limitations, you can't be too good to him, otherwise, he may be "pampered and arrogant", and you can't treat him too badly, just like Hua Xin, if you neglect a little, you will be resentful.
Yan Baihu is also slowly pondering and learning, and I believe that he will find that balance.
"Hua Xin, the reason why I keep you is because I have a very important thing for you to do! Okay, let's talk about this later, let's go according to the normal procedure, let's analyze the situation of our Huicheng first. โ
Hearing this, Hua Xin had no choice but to retreat to the side first, not mentioning it for the time being.
Next, Yan Baihu analyzed the current situation they were facing in Jicheng according to his own ideas.
"In summary, if we want to develop, we have to beat Liu Xuan, and it's not too difficult, the key question is, how much time do we need to use?"
"What the lord said is very true, at present, although Liu Miao has occupied Jianye and Wu County, he has insufficient talents, it is difficult to develop, and he needs to face Yuan Shu in Lujiang at the same time, and Sun Jian, who is eager to expand, I am afraid it will be difficult to last."
Yu Fu agrees with Yan Baihu's analysis very much, but he thinks that Yan Baihu is still a little too optimistic.
"As the lord said, Liu Miao's next move will inevitably be aimed at us. But his subordinates think that Liu Jian is not easy to deal with, maybe for Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, he is not strong, but for us, he is strong and strong, and it is not easy to deal with, so we better be careful. โ
"Hua Xin, what do you think?"
"What the military advisor said is good, and I seconded it below." Hua Xin also seems to agree with Yu Xuan's opinion, and is a little jealous of Liu Xuan.
Of course, Yan Baihu also knew that if according to the normal situation, Liu Miao was indeed stronger than their side, but first, Liu Miao had to allocate a large number of troops to defend Jianye City, so he would not be able to use many troops to attack Huiji, at most half of the troops would be divided; Second, there is an operating system in the body, and the advantages are still obvious.
However, Yan Baihu naturally couldn't tell the fact that there was a system in his body, and even if he said it, Yu Fu and the others wouldn't believe it, and it was estimated that they would think he was crazy.
Fortunately, they also roughly agreed with his words, and their thoughts were basically unified, that is, they wanted to fight with Liu Xuan.
"Okay, let's not care about whether Liu Miao is good or not, because no matter what, we have to be strong to have a chance to defeat the enemy."
"Yu Turn, Hua Xin listens to orders! I have ordered the two of you to be responsible for the construction of the 'Arsenal' and the 'Armory' respectively, and that they must be built for me before this month has passed, and that the Arsenal and the Armory Factory must be raised to the maximum within the next month. Do you have any questions? โ
"Does the lord mean that a small barracks and armory will be built within this month, and then upgraded to a large barracks and armory factories next month?" Yu Fu felt that Yan Baihu's description was a little strange, so he asked.
"Yes, that's what it means."
Although Yan Baihu knew that according to the setting in the game, two first-level barracks could be combined into a second-level barracks, and two second-level barracks could be combined into a third-level barn, that is, the highest level barracks, and the armory factory was the same.
However, Yan Baihu didn't know how to describe it in this world, so what he just said was a little vague. Fortunately, Yu Chuan and others are all highly intelligent talents, and they can understand the meaning of it with a little mention.
By the way, it needs to be explained that after the occupation of Huiji City, most of the buildings originally developed by Wang Lang have been destroyed and need to be rebuilt, which is the same as the setting in the game.
"My lord, there are still 20 days left in this month, and there is no problem in building a small military house and ordnance factory, but if it is just me and Hua Xin, if we want to build a large military house and ordnance factory before next month, the time is a little too late."
Yu turned and Hua Xin glanced at each other, they were a little embarrassed, originally this was the first task that Yan Baihu issued to them, they naturally had to do their best to complete it, but the time was too tight, and they were afraid that they would not be able to complete it.
But Yan Baihu waved his hand and said: "Military Division, Hua Xin, this time is indeed a little tight, but you must know that Liu Xian doesn't care if we are short of time, he may attack at any time, so I hope you will complete the task on time no matter what." โ
"This ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"In this case, I'll go and discuss with Lord Wang Lang to see if they can squeeze out a helper over there, and in addition, I'll ask Xu Gong to go and give you a hand."
"In this way, the subordinates and others will do their best." Yu Fu and Hua Xin finally nodded.
In fact, this is not Yan Baihu deliberately embarrassing them, nor is it untargeted, he has calculated it.
According to the data given by the internal operation system, if Yu Fu or Hua Xin were asked to build a military house alone, it would only take a month, and the current time was only in early July, so it was enough for them to complete the task.
And if they add a supporter, they can complete it in a shorter time, two months, barely able to complete a large military house and armory.
In particular, it should be pointed out that after the construction of the barracks, Yan Baihu can carry out the "conscription" order, but there is a considerable gap between the "conscription" effect of small barracks and large barracks, and the key thing is that the amount of money spent is the same.
In other words, for the same cost of 300 gold, if it is a small barn, he can only recruit 1,000 soldiers, and a large barn, at least allows him to recruit more than 3,000 soldiers.
Of course, the specific number of conscripts also needs to consider the political value of the generals, the higher the political value, the better the effect of its conscription, and the more soldiers will be obtained.
And the armory factory is also a reason, spending the amount of money you have, you can produce more weapons.
Of course, these are Yan Baihu's perceptions of the game, and he also believes that in this world, its actual setting should be similar to that in the game, so he gave such an order.
"My lord, you said before that you have an important task to be entrusted to me, I wonder if you can say it now?" But it was Hua Xin, who was still struggling with this matter.
And at this time, Yan Baihu could indeed tell him.
"Hua Xin, let me ask you, are you interested in sending an envoy?"
Hua Xin was slightly stunned, and then frowned, he knew very well that as an envoy, it would be quite dangerous to send other forces, and if he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground, and there would be no place to reason at that time.
"The lord wants his subordinates to send Yuan Shu?"
"Not bad! I have analyzed with you before, if we want to defeat Liu Jian as soon as possible, we must have external help, and compared to Sun Jian, Yuan Shu is a better choice. โ
"As far as I know, Yuan Shu is a great person who is very happy and pays attention to pomp, if we send some gifts to show closeness, and then use Jianye City as bait, I believe he will definitely agree."
"Of course, if Yuan Shu doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, we will contact Sun Jian again, or rely on ourselves, it's not impossible." Yan Baihu said this, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on Hua Xin.
"When?" Hua Xin asked.
"At this time, we are not in a hurry, we need to wait for the right time, and even if we want to send an envoy, we must let Yuan Shu see our strength, otherwise, it is estimated that it will be difficult to move him, so it is probably after we have fought with Liu Xuan that we will carry out this matter."
"The lord is far-sighted, his subordinates admire, and he is willing to share the worries of the lord!"
Seeing that Yan Baihu was obviously thinking very clearly, and Hua Xin originally felt that he was not taken seriously, but now seeing Yan Baihu put such a heavy responsibility on him, he was very honored and under a lot of pressure.
"Good!"
As for Yu Quan, Yan Baihu also has a task for him, that is, to let him be responsible for training, after all, in the previous war, the morale of his soldiers has been exhausted, and only by "training" can they restore their morale and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
After the meeting, Yan Baihu was quite happy and proposed to have a few drinks with them, but unexpectedly, he was opposed by them, and they all took the task as the priority, and immediately resigned and left.
Before leaving, he said that he wanted to introduce someone to Yan Baihu, but it was too late, so he would bring him back tomorrow.
