The importance of the first battle of Jizhou to Liu Yi is self-evident, so of course he also has his own thoughts about this, the strategy of several military divisions has been quite perfect, but he still has to plan for the worst, that is, Gan Ningqi's soldiers are ineffective, Yuan Tan will defend Nanpi at any cost, and Yuan Shao will treat him as an outcast to consume his strength, after all, the siege of the city is a matter of injuring the enemy eight hundred and losing one thousand, no matter how elite he is, it is difficult to escape this law, if this is the case, can he still win the battle?

For such a situation, as the commander-in-chief, Liu Yi will do his best to avoid it through various means and stratagems, but the army is impermanent, he is also prepared for this, as long as Yuan Shao can be ruthless, he may only be able to stretch the battle line and fight against it, at that time the war between the two sides will not only be from a military point of view, but a comprehensive contest including economic production, no matter which era of war needs a strong economic foundation as a backing, The daily loss of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting outside is a huge number, which is the same for both sides, but Liu Yi took the initiative to attack, and there were more losses after the battle line was extended, and when it came to the economy, Langsheng was confident that he could completely drag the other party down under the condition of balance of power!

It's just that in this way, aside from the heavy burden and consumption of their own side, the time required for this battle will be infinitely extended, and it is very likely that it will take a year or two to fight, and at that time their victory will also be a tragic victory, and it will not be a matter of years for Jizhou to recover. Liu Yi will not do this unless he is forced to do so, but even so, he will never give up attacking Yuan Shao, otherwise he is in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, how to talk about dominating the world, the great cause is even more of a joke. Of course, he still has nearly half a year to prepare, and the move to send troops will have to wait until after the autumn harvest.

"If you want to collect the effect of surprise soldiers, the number of Xingba Flying Tiger Army must not be less than 15,000, plus the loss of personnel, the soldiers should be between 20,000, Fengxiao, how about Tian'er exploring the coast of Jizhou?" Liu Yi is extremely important to Gan Ning, a strange soldier behind the Yuan Shao front who can bypass by sea, and the three of Xi, Guo, and Jia still had some doubts at first, but after seeing the warships and training progress of the Flying Tiger Army, they were not recognized that the lord's move was indeed feasible, and once successful, cooperating with Liu Yijun's frontal offensive would play a pivotal role in the war. But how to land smoothly is the first problem of this plan, and Tian'er is also going all out this time, they need to find a place where they can dock the Flying Tiger warship, and they can't get too close to Yuan's army.

"It is being fully explored, and there are only two places to return, one is Shanyang, and the other is Qi County, the waters of these two places are wide, the tide is gentle, and the water depth is more than three zhang, so there should be more than enough for our warships to dock, but Shanyang is too close to the Bohai Sea, and Qi County has to travel nearly two hundred miles more, and it needs to be carefully considered, and then in return, the method of landing on the sea of the lord of Jiaguan, this place of stopping ships is best to be completely in the hands of our army, and a few more points should be set up as a supply place for the two generals." Although this method of warfare is extremely new to Guo Jia, once his talent is inspired by Liu Yi to consider the problem, it will be extremely thorough, the biggest weakness of this method is that there is no logistics, no rear, and once it is surrounded by a large army, the consequences are unimaginable, so the number of people needs to be guaranteed, and the action needs to be extremely secretive, and it is best to establish a stable landing point, which can also be directly supplied.

"Jigu is where Jizhou is located, only a hundred miles away from the Bohai Sea, if the strange soldiers of Xingba can occupy Jigu, arson can be expected, the lord can know who this Jigu guard will be?" Xi Zhicai pointed to a place on the map and said to everyone, cutting off people's grain routes is a common strategy for soldiers, but because of this, people who are good soldiers will value the granary, if it weren't for Liu Yi's plan to land on the sea before, it would be like a fool's dream to burn it just by using this location.

"Jigu Guard? Zhicai asked like this, is it still Jizhou Admiral Chun Yuqiong? Liu Yi said with a smile, this Chun Yuqiong and him are not shallow, when he was one of the eight captains in the West Garden, he was also beaten by Liu Yi for unfair law enforcement, this person is ambitious and talented, and he has no real name, the last battle of Jizhou he 20,000 elite soldiers and Qinghe were scared by Zhang Yan's 10,000 yellow scarves and did not dare to go out of the city, which led to Zhang He and Zhang Yan | If this person guards the granary, maybe the matter of the black nest can be repeated.

"Hehe, it is the general Chun Yuqiong, this time Yuan Shao has also learned to be obedient, I know that this person is incompetent, but I don't think he would have thought that the main guild would have this strategy, if the second general can build this miraculous feat, the battle in Jizhou can be determined." Hearing Liu Yi call Chun Yuqiong a general, Xi Zhicai is also a general, but Xuan even said with a straight face: "But our army is lone and deep, no matter whether the grain burning is successful or not, the second general will be in danger, and it is a danger of life and death at every turn, although this plan is good, it is also extremely dangerous."

"I'd rather make contributions to my eldest brother, what's the point of being a little dangerous? But with more than 10,000 soldiers in hand, it will not be easy to deal with Ning even if I am surrounded by heavy troops! Gan Ning didn't care when he heard this, he was the best at surprise attacks in his life, and he was bold and careful, otherwise he would not have climbed the cliff with Liu Yi back then.

At this time, Liu Yi was also groaning, he was willing to carry out this surprise attack mainly because it was too difficult to transmit news in this era, as long as Gan Ning landed successfully, even if he was discovered by Yuan Jun, it was not possible to solve it in a short period of time, this time was enough for Gan Ning to stir up the rear of Jizhou, and he and his second brother could use Fei Yu, and the information transmission was extremely convenient, but what Xi Zhicai said was true, Xingba was his brother, as the person in charge of the army, he could do it by giving up more than 10,000 soldiers for the overall situation, However, this will certainly not include Xingba.

"This matter is not what Zhicai said, there is a danger, but it also lies in how our army cooperates with the second general, as long as the Yuan army is fully contained at the right time, the second general will be able to escape with one blow, and the Yuan army will collapse in time, this risk is worth taking." Jia Xu said on the side, there is no need to ask that this plan to cut off food is from the hands of poisoners, as long as it can deal a fatal blow to the enemy, in Wenhe's opinion, there is nothing to give up except for the lord.

"Well, if you want to go smoothly, you still need to plan in detail, but the first thing you have to do is to ensure the success of the landing, the weather at sea is unpredictable, and you need to be fully prepared to act." Liu Yi's heart sank, if he said ruthlessness and absolute in his seat, it must be Jia Xu, but he also had to admit that this plan was the most effective, and he said to Gan Ning at the moment that this is the real plan in the people, and the success is in the sky, and the mistakes of Mongolia must not be repeated.

"First in Fengzhu and everyone have to sail on the sea every day to test the wind and waves, and Wang Xi, who was sent by the eldest brother, is a genius in observing celestial phenomena, as if he has half a year to prepare, and our warships will not be too far from the coast, and he is ninety percent sure." Gan Ning is also very cautious about this matter, and after thinking for a while, he said that this Wang Xi was the person who saw the great drought in the world back then, and at the beginning someone in the court wanted to confuse the public with fallacies and punish him, but Liu Yili was able to ensure that Fang was safe, and then the weather was as he said, and he was promoted to the head of Qintianjian because of this.

"You must be fully prepared, and in addition, you need to be familiar with the waters of Jizhou, and everything must be completed one month before the action." Liu Yi nodded and said, in fact, Jia Xu's words are not exaggerated, as long as the use of troops is carefully planned, the safety of Gan Ning can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the most important thing now is whether the Flying Tiger Army can form such a combat force within half a year, and he will not believe it if he has not seen anyone in person.

"No, I'd rather do what my eldest brother orders." Seeing that Liu Yi said solemnly, Gan Ning solemnly accepted the order.

"Jiaxin has better than the second general in this matter, and there is still one thing that needs the help of the lord." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Oh, there's something wrong with Feng Xiao, but it's okay to say it." Seeing Guo Jia's smile quite weird, Liu Yi was slightly stunned.

"Jia asked the lord for 20,000 taels of gold." Guo Jialang said.
