At the beginning of December of the third year of Xingping, Guo Peng set the strategy of the Northern Expedition to Xianbei.

Because the Xianbei prairie does not need to be operated, the purpose is only to destroy the living force of Xianbei, as much as possible, and the simple invasion war does not require post-war construction, so the cost is not very large.

The 500-member counting team under the staff station began to urgently calculate the food, ordnance, horses, and men needed to fight this battle.

These detailed calculations are left to the math team.

Now the entire staff station believes that the math team has a great role in war planning, and even Xun You, who is taciturn and seems loyal and honest, is full of praise for the work of the math team.

The number of enemies, the time of the enemy's advance, the enemy's route, the efficiency of the enemy's advance, the needs of our army in all aspects, etc.

Once the strategists had this detailed data, they were able to deduce the course of the war in detail based on the map.

Often before the start of a war, the course and outcome of a war have already been deduced.

For example, the battle against the Southern Xiongnu is like this, the Southern Xiongnu seem to be fierce, but in the face of the Wei group with strong mobilization and combat effectiveness, the Southern Xiongnu are as vulnerable as children, and they were swept away by Guo Peng within a month.

Among them, the data obtained by the Mathematics Group through precise calculations has played a great role, and the main staff officers of the entire staff station attach great importance to these data.

To this end, Xi Zhongxun You and others also specially learned mathematics from several mathematics masters of the mathematics team, and practiced the academic concept of not shamelessly asking questions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng once again put forward the slogan "Mathematics is the foundation of everything", and asked Chen Lin to write an article and publish it all over the world.

He called on officials, officials, students of the academy, and people of insight in the world to study mathematics while studying the classics, and announced that mathematics would be indispensable in the selection and promotion assessment of officials under his command in the future.

Officials and scholars who are strong in mathematics will be better promoted to the next level.

Those who lack mathematical ability, do not have mathematical thinking, and do not understand the importance of data will not be so easy to follow in the future.

To this end, he promoted and increased the number of mathematical teams that played an important role in military planning and daily administration, and also sealed the Guannei Hou to several leading god operators with extremely strong mathematical ability.

Wang Cang, a native of Shanyang County, who was introduced to Guo Peng by Cai Yong before, was reused by Guo Peng because he knew "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and had strong arithmetic ability, and joined the staff platform as the leader of the math team, and made great contributions to the previous crusade against the Southern Xiongnu, and was named Tinghou.

It seems to have become a new celebrity around Guo Peng.

Then Guo Peng also stipulated that in the future, if officials want to put forward their own suggestions on administrative and military issues, they must attach their own investigation results and calculation results, and use data to speak to him.

Without data to back it up, everything is speculation, and he will not accept exaggerated and narrowed imaginary numbers.

Guo's power is enough to shake the learning goals of officials and scholars in a sense.

So in order to cater to Guo Peng's slogans and ideas, suddenly, a frenzy of learning mathematics was set off in the local area.

Everyone collected all the books related to mathematics that they could find, copied and read them to each other, found teachers to teach them, and worked hard to study mathematics, learn statistics, and so on.

The things that the officials gathered together to discuss were no longer just the Five Classics and the Fourteen Family Laws, or conspiracy and power, but also some topics related to mathematics.

Mathematics-related books such as "Zhou Ji Sutra" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" suddenly became a hot topic of discussion.

Although compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism", the effect is far from good, but fortunately, mathematics cannot shake the status of Confucian classics, so no one rejects it.

If you use law or ink studies to do it, it will change the law, and there will be problems.

The step should not be too big, step by step, and use mathematical thinking to impact the dogmatic benevolence and morality in the heads of scholars, so as to lay a foundation for larger-scale changes in the future.

Math is really the foundation.

And being a planner will also become a rare step for the children of the poor family and even Li Shu.

On the premise that there was no change, Guo Peng slightly removed the dense clouds and opened a little gap, so that people in the darkness and confusion could see a trace of hope.

Any little bit of light is a great hope.

When hope gathers enough, it can bring about miracles.

The sentinels went north in an all-round way, and began to focus on collecting intelligence and information from various departments in Xianbei, and with the help of merchants from all over Youzhou who were engaged in smuggling business with Xianbei, they reported their location, population, number of soldiers, etc., and made final confirmation and statistics.

After the final confirmation and statistics were over, it was time for Guo Peng to officially send troops north to crusade against Xianbei.

The split Xianbei is a soft persimmon, if you don't pinch it now, do you have to wait for Kirby to reunite Xianbei before pinching it?

Guo's cold gaze was cast to the north, above the prairie.

Whoever it is, don't want to go south again.

Give me all the coolies to build a beautiful Great Wei Empire!

New wars are in full swing, and news from the south and west is constantly gathering to Yecheng.

The spies faithfully carried out their mission, so that Guo Peng had an understanding of what was happening in the whole world, so that he could grasp the current situation.

He heard that in Xuzhou, the scholars had great opinions on Tao Qian, and they all opposed Tao Qian's establishment of the Principality of Xu, even though the Principality of Xu had been established, but there were many people who refused the position of the Principality of Xu, and few people accepted it.

Everyone said that they were Hanchen and didn't do Xu Chen, which made Tao Qian very annoyed and embarrassed, but he didn't know what to do, did he want to kill someone?

At this time, he really didn't dare.

So at the beginning of the establishment of the Principality of Xu, it was faced with the situation of government shutdown, and the boss of Xuzhou was dissatisfied with the fact that the administrative efficiency was greatly reduced.

The scholars spread unfavorable news to Tao Qian everywhere through their own channels, incited remarks against the establishment of the Duchy of Xu, and confronted Tao Qian, which made Tao Qian extremely embarrassed for a while.

Guo Peng also heard that Sun Ce, the monarch of the Principality of Wu, who did not know whether it was lucky or unlucky, had achieved an advantage over Liu Xuan on the military battlefield, and won three consecutive skirmishes.

But on the political battlefield, Sun Ce was very passive.

Can't recruit enough officials to be the courtiers of his Principality of Wu, the county Taishou is okay, they are all his own people, and there are many county officials who would rather abandon the official than be his courtiers of the Principality of Wu.

Even the county officials who were single-handedly picked up by him were unwilling to be the courtiers of the Wu State, and chose to abandon the officials, and there were also those who tried to set off a rebellion after the establishment of the Wu State.

For this reason, Zhou Yu had to return from the front line, sit in Wu County, and work for Sun Ce every day, recruiting scholars and appeasing Haoqiang.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out much.

Sun Ce killed too many people before, and he was too ruthless in the anger of the people, but now he is still a feudal state, and everyone's boss is not satisfied, and the boss resists.

Which green onion are you?

Are you still a feudal state and a monarch?

Are you kidding?

If you don't accept it, you don't accept it.

No matter how handsome Sun Ce is, no matter how strong Zhou Yu's personal charm is, it is useless.

This is a matter of core interests.

Liu Miao won't talk about it, the first contradiction in the Yue Kingdom is that Sun Ce is about to destroy the Yue Kingdom, and it is not Liu Miao's turn to worry about other problems.

Liu Biao is even more funny, he is still in a cold war with Cai's Kuai, there is nothing to say.
