Chapter 641: The Strength of Yuan and Liu
Fighting a victorious battle and then feasting on it, letting go of the wine and meat, was a pleasure for all the soldiers, which meant that they were still alive.
However, after every big victory, it means that the commander must be careful and careful, if he wins first and then loses, it will be a complete tragedy, you must know that it is not for nothing that he was defeated or even lost his life because he won at the beginning, so after the big victory, he must be more cautious to keep the victory.
After the generals left, there were several senior generals left in the whole big tent, Chen Xi and Guo Jia, and some things still needed to be discussed by them, as for Xu Chu, he had already gone to patrol the camp first, and in the second half of the night, he was handed over to Zhao Yun to patrol the camp, only after this kind of big victory did the senior generals need to be so cautious.
"Bringing up the old story again, Yuan Shaojun doesn't seem to be weaker than us, and the will to fight on both sides is basically the same." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The soldiers under our command can be regarded as envy and strength, especially the Qingzhou soldiers, except for the military discipline is not very good, they can be regarded as top in other aspects. ”
"This aspect of military discipline has been grasped, but after all, I was born in a yellow scarf, and it is difficult to wash off the habits of ten years for a while, but this aspect is not a big problem, the biggest advantage of Qingzhou soldiers is that we gave them what they wanted, and they are willing to pay it back with their lives." Guo Jia waved his hand and said.
Guo Jia doesn't take military discipline very seriously, after all, the killing, burning and looting in the general direction of Qingzhou military discipline have been eliminated, and the rest is to hand over the seized materials, for Guo Jia, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter whether he surrenders or not, and winning is much more important than capturing these materials.
Besides, the Qingzhou soldiers cultivated this kind of fighting, and they carried everything they could use in their arms after fighting, and they were completely afraid of being poor before, otherwise, it would not be like this at all.
"Okay. Military discipline is overturned, as long as you don't kill, burn and loot the people. If you haven't seen those details, no matter how you say that the Qingzhou soldiers have the strongest will to fight. Chen Xi waved his hand. I don't bother to care, I've been a yellow scarf for ten years, I'm poor and afraid, and it's a habit to put anything I can use on my body, just win it.
"The Xuzhou soldiers' will to fight is not good, and they are obviously cowardly before fighting." Zhao Yun sighed and said.
"There is no way to do this, the three generations of leaders of the Yellow Turban and the Yellow Turban are all sworn by blood, so that the Yellow Turban can get out of the thief group, and they all know to cherish this opportunity. And we have given them good land and built them houses, so these people will fight to the death. Chen Xi said helplessly, this is also the biggest advantage of his original plan.
"As for the Xuzhou soldiers, there has been no war in the mainland for many years, and there are too many places that need to be honed." Guo Jia pursed his lips and said, I haven't suffered hardships, I haven't experienced war, no matter how much I train, it's just like that.
"Yuan Shaojun has too many cavalry." Guan Yu said slowly.
"That's true. Our army is located in the Central Plains, and there is no source of cavalry, even if there is Jia Wenhe's horse administration, but this is actually a means to deal with Pinghu later. Just talking about horses, our army really can't do anything. Chen Xi said helplessly.
"Jia Wenhe's Ma Zheng is now operating, in fact, it is to pacify Jizhou, and after the annexation of the state. When it is implemented, it is unstoppable, and it also has the meaning of dealing with the Hu people in the north. It's completely worthless now. Guo Jia sighed and said, "Anyway, Yuan Shao has restricted the transportation of horses. ”
"It's also a nuisance." Zhao Yun frowned and said. "How about our army's naval voyage to Liaodong to transport horses?"
"This line is smashed now, I don't know what Yuan Shao gave Gongsun Du to eat, and now it is difficult for us to get a good horse from Gongsun Du." Chen Xi waved his hand, he was sitting in Yanzhou, and these things were clear.
"Basically, as far as I feel, our army and the Hebei army, in terms of strength advantage, there is basically none, our army accounts for some of the soldier advantage, but our army is still at a disadvantage by the cavalry, as for a large number of bows and crossbows, Zichuan, you have reserved all these years, how much?" Guo Jia is also helpless.
In the past, there was an endless fight between Licheng and Jizhou, Guo Jia himself knew a lot about the Jizhou soldiers, and as for a large-scale collision this time, Guo Jia knew more about the Jizhou army.
"I have a reserve of crossbows, strong crossbows, bows and arrows, although it was only started in the past two years, but I also prepared nearly 400,000 pots." Chen Xi said calmly,
Chen Xi has not done nothing for so many years, there is a cash-for-work every year, not necessarily to build infrastructure, make some guns, arrow shafts, knife handles, cushions inside the shield or something, it is also possible, with the goal of being the strongest in the world, and the purpose of dealing with the princes of the world head-on, Mount Tai has been accumulating.
"Okay, you can rest assured of war weapons, the number of well-maintained armor, big shields, swords and guns is absolutely enough, hundreds of thousands of Tuntian soldiers, it has taken so many years, but I have been stockpiling, you can rest assured in all aspects of weapons, we definitely have an advantage." Chen Xi said with a smile, "You only need to think about the war. ”
"That's nothing to say, we who don't play yin and the north have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the biggest advantage in the north is that the local family has a complete civil and military life, and we have redeemed it." Guo Jia said confidently.
"Yes, we have hundreds of thousands of scholars cultivated by ourselves, it is not difficult to promote thousands of low-level officials, and we have millions of yellow turbans who are kind to us, no matter which aspect of civil and military affairs, we have a certain advantage." Chen Xi nodded and said, this is a little bit of accumulation.
It is said that what Chen Xi and Liu Bei did before was to cast a large net on a large scale, which directly created hundreds of thousands of scholars, these people have not studied for a long time, but after all, there are some ingenious people who are amazing, although what they have learned is not comprehensive, but there is absolutely no problem in being a petty official.
Although the elite education of the family is terrifying, the family has a long history, and it is easy to appear geniuses, but there are many people who can't stand Liu Bei and Chen Xi's one-time netting education, hundreds of thousands, and more than a thousand can be used in three or five years.
According to the ratio of officials and people in this era of one to seven thousand, the output of three or five years of usable talents is enough to manage one million people, and a large number of others are thrown into all walks of life, which is the key to the prosperity of Mount Tai, and most of these people are grateful to Liu Bei, not to mention anything else, much more reliable than the children of the family.
"But it's still not easy to fight." Zhao Yun sighed and said, he has been a civil official in Mount Tai for a long time, and he has a clear understanding of the strength under Yuan Shao, with a population of tens of millions, and an economic prosperity, there have not been many natural disasters in recent years.
"I never felt like I was going to fight, but it's nothing, as long as there are not too many variables, we will win." A hint of ridicule appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he looked back at Jizhou, where the hidden dangers he had buried had taken root. (To be continued......)
