Chapter 867: A remake of the Battle of Qin and Zhao Changping
Jia Xu obviously answered the question, but Guo Jia and Lu Su both looked clear, although they didn't know what the content of Xun Chen's letter was, but they all had their own expectations.
"What do you want?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.
"We still have the strength to spare, but with Xiaozhi's move, even if the other party still has the grain route of the Qinghe River and the Bohai Sea, it will not drag on any longer, and this will be an opportunity for us to end Hebei, and we must not give the other party a chance to fight back to the death as Zichuan said!" Guo Jia shook his head and said.
"Actually, I've always been curious, who is Zichuan's dark line on Yuan Shao's side, sometimes the news transmitted by Zichuan is a little too advanced, although this kind of news loses its value when it is transmitted." Lu Su asked curiously, just like Xun Chen's letter this time, he only gave the letter and did not say the content.
"Some of the information can reach those people, just think about it." Jia Xu said casually, "But I don't like this kind of person." β
Liu Bei was speechless, it was a miracle that Jia Xu would clearly say that he didn't like someone.
[Is it because the guy on the other side is too similar to you?] Guo Jia turned his head sideways and couldn't help but think that he also guessed which one on the other side was Chen Xi's dark line.
"My lord, please inform the generals, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the decisive battle between us and Yuan Shao begins!" Lu Su opened his mouth and said, he has now adapted to the battlefield, as for why he wants to inform this, just like Chen Xi's dark line, some things cannot be avoided.
After Jia Xu and the three of them gave a unified answer, Liu Bei was also sure that he immediately issued a new order to prepare for the final stage of the battle at any time.
After the three of Lu Su came out of the military tent. Guo Jia immediately looked at Jia Xufa and asked, "Wenhe." Why do you have to come up with this plan now, if something goes wrong then. One wrong step, one wrong step, we are likely not to hurry. β
"You crow's mouth, don't say this kind of thing yourself, doesn't Zijing know?" Jia Xu felt chills all over his body when he heard Guo Jia's words, his biggest headache now was Guo Jia's spiritual talent, which was activated unconsciously, and as long as he spoke, it was possible to be involved, and the effect was amazing.
"That's what I mean, too." Lu Su glanced at Guo Jia helplessly, and then said what he wanted to say instead of Guo Jia. Speaking of which, Lu Su also thinks that Jia Xu's words are very reasonable, Guo Jia had better not say bad things, what if the spiritual talent effect is activated?
"Remember how many troops we sent when we were in Tarzan at the beginning?" Jia Xu asked calmly.
"There are almost 150,000 troops." Lu Su replied puzzled, but Guo Jia's eyes showed a hint of abruptness, and then he instantly understood what Jia Xu meant, compared to Lu Su, who is inclined to an all-powerful role, Guo Jia's talent is all in military strategy planning.
"And how many more are there?" Jia Xu continued to ask.
"So far, more than 7,000 people have been killed in the war, and more than 10,000 people are considered to have lost their combat effectiveness. Our army still has 130,000. Before Lu Su could react, he replied with a wooden expression.
Jia Xu has a feeling now, talking to Chen Xi and Lu Su, and the other party can't keep up with the rhythm when he talks about it. Then jump to that corner that doesn't know!
"Zijing, Wen He means how many people are still here now. It means how many soldiers and horses we can really mobilize. Guo Jia answered this question instead of Lu Su.
"Yes, in the beginning we had fifteen armies. But the forces used to defend the rear were taken up by thirty percent, and then with our successive victories. The battle line is constantly pushed here, and the defense line we need to guarantee is also constantly getting longer, and Yuan Shao's defense line and supply line are constantly getting shorter! Jia Xu nodded and took Guo Jia's words and said.
"We have now invested fifty percent of our troops to protect the supply lines and various strategic points behind us, plus the battle damage, in fact, we can only directly mobilize more than 50,000 troops now!" Lu Su suddenly cared about these things, but he didn't express them as obviously as Jia Xu.
"Our supply lines and defensive points continue to lengthen and increase, and Yuan Shao's supply lines and defensive points continue to shorten and decrease, and he can free up more and more troops, the original army of 200,000 is now probably free up 1450,000 with continuous requisition." Guo Jia said with a solemn expression, this is simply a copy of Lian Po's version of Qin Zhao Changping.
"So even if we win if we drag it out any longer, it will be no different from the Qin State that dragged on in Changping for three years, our energy is not wasted on Yuan Shao, we would rather have a short pain, and we must not continue to wear it out like this." Jia Xu raised his index finger and said resolutely.
Although it was only delayed for a month, it did not have much impact on the overall economy of Taishan Qingxu and farming, but Jia Xu had already noticed for the first time the huge impact on Liu Beijun if it continued like this.
Just like the national strength of Zhao back then, although it was not as good as Qin, but relying on Lian Po to shorten the supply line, lengthen the supply line of Qin, and drag it to the point where Qin almost had a breath left, of course, Zhao himself basically had no breath to breathe at that time, but it was definitely a lose-lose situation if it dragged on.
Although it is not too long, Jia Xu estimates that Yuan Shaojun on the opposite side has not noticed this, but with Jia Xu's understanding of the group of people on the other side, I am afraid that if it continues to drag on, that group of people, especially Tian Feng, who is particularly good at fighting steadily and killing the enemy, will definitely notice this aspect.
"So we had to fight?" Lu Su frowned and said, and motioned to Guo Jia, who didn't talk much, to say a few words as well.
Although Jia Xu said it very well, but Lu Su is not stupid, now it is obvious that it has not reached the kind of Cheng dΓΉ that Jia Xu said, on the contrary, if you fight now, it may not work, the necessary condition for the decisive battle to open is that one side has a chance to win, and the other side has to fight, and now to be honest, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's tentative attacks have not ended.
"No, it's not that I have to fight, but after missing this time, I'm afraid it's hard to have such an opportunity." Guo Jia, who had been silent, said slowly, "Because we will no longer be able to act arbitrarily soon, the appearance of filial piety in Jizhou means that Cao Cao is about to approach the limit of bearing." β
"The war between us and Yuan Shao must be divided into victory and defeat before the first mediation by the Son of Heaven, and you probably understand the concept of victory or defeat as I speak." Jia Xu said very calmly.
"Once we don't mediate the victory or defeat in the first mediation of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it will really become a protracted attrition!" Guo Jia estimated it and said. (To be continued......)
