"The next step, the Republican Army's goal is to annex the state." Yuan Shao said worriedly.

Although he did not have a favorable opinion of the IRA, in many cases, he believed that the IRA was still a rabble. But when it comes to the specifics, he won't be so stupid that the IRA is easy to deal with. On the contrary, Yuan Shao knew very well that the republican army was difficult to entangle and deal with, although he looked down on each other, they were all a bunch of lowly mud legs. But the other party is really powerful, you have to admit it. Yuan Shao is such a contradictory person, who doesn't admit it on the surface, but in fact does something else, so to speak, he is such a person who is inconsistent on the outside.

"I've already asked the Dingyuan Department to withdraw. And the state simply can't hold on. He Jin said. arrive

Originally, the Hedong Army could still hold on. But unfortunately, they were eliminated too quickly, and even before the imperial court could make a concrete response, the war was introduced. Sometimes, that's the way it is.

Next, it depends on Dong Zhuojun's situation. Otherwise, alas. He Jin said.

For now, the merger state can only give up. The reason is very simple, Dinh Nguyen cannot be lost, he has already operated Dinh Nguyen into Hanoi. In this way, in terms of local military strength, it poses a certain threat to the Xiyuan New Army and Jian Shuo. He Jin is still thinking about his own plans, and there is still no big change in his concept about the layout of the imperial court's siege of the republican army, and this kind of situation is a huge waste for anyone. But He Jin was willing to do this, after all, such a situation was extremely beneficial to him.

You must know that the biggest contradiction within the imperial court is the contradiction between the eunuchs and other groups. This contradiction is the main thing. But in fact, it is an imbalance between imperial power and local power. The eunuch was only a spokesman for the imperial power, nothing more.

The internal political struggle had no time to take into account the republican army, and this gave the republican army a great opportunity.

"Although, I am extremely disgusted by the military behavior of the Republican Army." Cao Cao said to Xi Zhicai. Cao Cao's strength is still very weak, but it is still difficult to do something bigger.

"But, undeniably, their military operations were swift and effective, and it's hard for us to do that." Cao Cao said. From a purely military point of view, he admired the progress of the Republican Army, although the newspapers said that they had disarmed a lot, those veterans could still fight, and many combat units only kept their numbers. But there are no specific troops. But such a war showed that the fighting power of the Republican Army after disarmament has not decreased, on the contrary, it is strengthening. Moreover, their burden on military spending is being reduced a lot, which is a result that no one can see.

"Hmm. I believe that they must have used cavalry, because only by using cavalry can they achieve such a degree, otherwise, they would not have done such a thing at all, and this is what we need to pay attention to at the moment. Xi Zhicai made such a judgment, according to how the Republican Army fought. This is a very effective way to judge the state of improvement of combat effectiveness. Judging from the preliminary battle reports, the end of the battle of the Hedong Army was very fast, so fast that many people did not have time to react.

"Cavalry, we need cavalry too." Cao Cao said enviously.

"But the problem is that cavalry costs a lot. And in terms of funding, our problem is too big. You know, we don't have any economic resources, unlike the Republican Army, which is constantly engaged in all kinds of trade, and they have an advantage in that, but we have no advantage at all. Xi Zhicai said. The IRA has a steady stream of resources to use, and they are developing very well and have a strong vitality. In contrast, the situation at the imperial court can only be described as bad.

Cao Cao could not get more military spending, so it was naturally difficult for him to develop, which was extremely unfavorable for him, and if they wanted to complete such a situation, they had to use more new developments to develop, otherwise, they would have difficulty coping with such things, which was extremely difficult for them. In such a situation, many things are difficult for them to deal with.

The reason why Cao Cao is difficult to develop is because they do not have a very good foundation. Relying on a corrupt court alone is no longer enough for them to do much.

Republican Army, War Department.

"Good news. Our intelligence services are still very effective. They got in touch with the Wuhuan people in the north of the state. It's not bad, as long as we can provide them with plenty of supplies, such as iron, arrowheads, weapons, and more, they promise not to go south. And they are willing to trade with us, on the condition that we have to keep the trade flowing. Jia Xu said.

"Specifics?" Shang Wu asked.

"The situation of the Wuhuan people in the north of the state is actually not very good. Their tribe is not very stable internally, mainly because of the lack of all kinds of materials, if they want to stabilize their internal stability, there are only two ways, first, is to go south, robbery, for the time being, I don't think that the local powerful landlord forces in the state can withstand such a situation, at the same time, the state army retreats, we enter, there is a time lag in the middle, we can't do such a thing up, the problem is very big. Jia Xu said.

"Second, it is to take the initiative to provide so many supplies to ensure their internal stability, which is a cheap way, it seems that we have suffered a lot, but we can stabilize and merge the state. But I think we should be prepared for other things. After all, such a thing cannot be done all at once. However, we need to be on guard against both scenarios. Jia Xu said.

"That's the crux of the matter, it's a big problem for us, and you know that very well." Shang Wu said.

"Our guerrillas simply could not withstand the attack of the opposing side. It's hard to even lag a little. But it is also very difficult for us to occupy quickly, and to stabilize and control it. Shang Wu continued.

"I think it's okay to let the cavalry troops move north quickly, as long as they get stuck. As for the middle space, I think it is still the guerrillas, they are the only force we can trust, and the local landlords are powerful forces that cannot be trusted at all. They don't have much affection for us either, they want to make a government themselves, they are too unrealistic. Jia Xu said. There are some selfish people who can't see things clearly, and it's really hard for them to do.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. We have to strengthen our support for the guerrillas, and at the same time we have to increase military assistance, control, and we can't let him have some trouble. In that case, it's a lot of fun. Shang Wu said with a smile. Jia Xu nodded. And they should.

Large-scale military operations have become unlikely, and the Republican Army is mostly amassing its own strength. They need to make their situation better, and that's what they're going to do right now, and it's going to make them a lot more favorable.

The first is a reduction in their military spending. Reduced burden. The second is that their economy needs to develop rapidly, and many regions need to be annexed, so that the affected economic areas will be merged. After reunification and integration, they can have development, which means that the large-scale combat operations of the republican army will affect the economic potential more, in such a situation, they absolutely cannot do such things, which is the most unacceptable result for them, so if they want to change such a situation, they can only use the method of small-scale war in the Anci region, because only this way is the most reasonable, and other ways will not achieve such a series of results at all. Therefore, they can only choose such a way to solve such a problem.

It is very beneficial for the Republican Army to increase the investment in small military forces, so that the purpose of favorable control can be achieved through a temporal détente.

Within the Faculty of Medicine. Zhang Zhongjing's office. He received a telegram from Hua Tuo in Hedong, Hua Tuo was the first time to send a telegram, he sent a very long telegram, which made the sender very helpless, because Hua Tuo thought that the telegram could quickly transmit information, which was very good, when he ignored the conciseness of some necessary language, although this was a good result, but for the sender, it was too verbose. It's hard to get them to a favorable situation. It's not a very good outcome development for them.

In contrast, Zhang Zhongjing paid more attention to Hua Tuo's development in medicine.

Surgery has proven to be the most effective method in practice, especially in the case of the widespread use of firearms, and they can treat many wounded soldiers in a timely manner. However, they still lack some necessary equipment, such as some experience in blood transfusion, but they are not mature, in addition, they also need some special trauma drugs for the treatment of post-operative treatment. Hua Tuo proposed to study antibiotics, preferably the kind that could meet their various needs at once, because these things could save the lives of soldiers to the greatest extent.

As for the rest, he suggested that the medicine should be made better, because in some special cases, the condition of the drug deterioration is very unfavorable, and even causes great harm, which is very unfavorable for them.
