After the implementation of the scoring system, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Yu Ban, etc., all wrote to ask when they would fight Cao Cao. It seems that they can't wait to make a difference. In the Military Administration Department, he said with a frustrated smile.

"And this?"

"Yes. The minister has already received more than a dozen letters, some thanking and some asking for war. Frustrated.

"Good."

Yuan Xi said: "It seems that we are right to implement the scoring system, which makes the soldiers how enthusiastic they are." But this time I have to hold back their enthusiasm... ”

He asked, "I don't know how long the lord wants the soldiers to hold back?" ”

"It depends on the construction of our navy. Now the kamikaze has not yet taken shape, and the number of medium and large warships is not large. We have so many bodies of water, from the Luo River to the Yellow River, to the sea outside North Korea, and even to Yangzhou. If you don't have enough ships, you can't manage these places. Not to mention expanding outward. So the opening of our next war mainly depends on when the naval army will be built. If it is built tomorrow, we will go to war tomorrow. ”

Fu Zhu finally understood Yuan Xi's inner thoughts.

However, he still didn't understand: "Why does the lord have to wait for the navy to be built?" According to the minister, our Hebei naval army, led by General Gan Ning, is already invincible, although the number of warships is small, it is enough to take on a big responsibility. ”

"No, no... You don't understand. Yuan Xi waved his hand and asked someone to get a map.

"Mr. Fu, do you know how we will fight our next war? I'm sure you've discussed it many times, so maybe you already have a strategy, right? ”

Frustrated stood up and looked at the map.

It is true that the Military Administration has discussed it many times.

And three simulated wars.

However, the strength of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei has been growing, and Yuan Xi is not sure when the war will start, so the Military Administration Department cannot make accurate judgments, let alone effectively formulate strategies.

Fu Zhu said: "The so-called war is to attack the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths!" What is the strongest in our Hebei army? Of course, cavalry, we have 100,000 northern cavalry troops, and more than 20,000 chariots, which Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan do not have. We can give full play to the superiority of cavalry and destroy the enemy in field battles; At the very least, cavalry can be used, occupy key roads, divide and encircle the enemy army. So in the next war, if it is against Cao Cao, the first thing we have to fight is Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanyang County in Jingzhou. These places are conducive to the galloping of cavalry, and Cao Cao can't stop us. ”

Some time ago, Cui Yan also suggested that he said that the Central Plains region was already in the bag, so don't rush to attack, and send two strange troops to capture Wuguan and Hujiao Pass respectively. In this way, Cao Cao's Chang'an and Luoyang are all exposed in front of us. It can contain Cao Cao and respond to our soldiers and horses in the Central Plains. ”

"That's a good idea!" Yuan Xi's eyes lit up.

The so-called soldiers make dangerous moves, and it is easier to win.

Cao Cao would never have imagined that at the beginning of the war, he would be penetrated thousands of miles to capture Wuguan and Tiger Pass.

"But isn't that too risky?" "It's not just risky, it's not realistic. Cao Cao was in Chang'an and Luoyang, and there were a large number of Shenji battalions and fire oil. We have sent more troops, it is impossible to pass through Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the troops sent are few, and we cannot stop the counteroffensive of Luoyang and Chang'an. Thinking about it this way, Mr. Cui Yan's suggestion has no merit. ”

"Wait..."

Yuan Xi suddenly raised his hand: "Who said there is no merit?" What you're worried about is that you will not be able to stop the enemy's counterattack because there are fewer troops sent. But what if you block it? Isn't that a great strategy? ”

"What do you mean?"

"You can pick 5,000 elites, train them well, and equip them with crossbow arrows. I asked Ma Jun to make this crossbow arrow, and he will definitely be able to make it. Troops equipped with crossbow arrows will increase their combat effectiveness, and it will not be difficult for me to defend a small fortress with the assistance of giant beasts. I have been to Wuguan, where the terrain is so dangerous that no matter how many troops the enemy has, he can only send one or two thousand men to attack outside the city, and there are thousands of them in our city, all of them are well armed, and it is absolutely possible to hold them. Yuan Xi suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang's three-bow crossbow, if it could be made, it would have a great effect on the war, and it was also the most suitable for a lone army to go deep and garrison the dangerous pass.

Crossbow bolts?

"What crossbow arrow?" ”

"You'll find out later." Yuan Xi said: "In short, I have adopted this strategy, after the war starts, a surprise army must be dispatched, and I will make Cao Cao difficult to take care of." ”

"In addition to Cui Yan's strategy, are there any other ones?"

"Yes."

Fu Zhu continued: "In order to prevent Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they formed an alliance with Cao Cao. The ministers of the Military Administration Department all suggested that Jingzhou should be captured first. Because the Jingzhou area is the main route for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to enter and exit the Central Plains. Once occupied by us and connected to Yangzhou, we surrounded Cao Cao's territory. Liu Bei could only send troops from Hanzhong, cross the Qinling Mountains to Chang'an, or go to Chencang through the Qianli Shu Road. And this requires the consumption of a lot of military rations, and it also takes time. And Sun Quan completely lost his role. ”

"Well, I can think about that as well." Yuan Xi nodded, thinking in his heart: "The people in the Military and Political Department still have strategic minds, and the strategies they come up with are very practical. ”

"Anything else?"

"Uh... Not for the time being. I wonder what the lord is planning? Frustrated asked curiously.

Yuan Xi said: "I have been saying that the next war will mainly be a battle between naval forces. I would like to take Nanyang County in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou as the last areas to be conquered. Mainly send a naval army to control the Yangtze River and attack Jingzhou. According to detailed reports, Cao Cao trained 80,000 sailors in Dongting Lake in Jingzhou, and in the Fancheng area, there were also 30,000 sailors, as well as Jingnan and Jiangxia, and there were also sailors active, no less than 20,000. That's more than twice the number of our navy... ”

Frustrated professor interjected: "The minister has not received a report. According to the lord, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are almost all naval troops? ”

"Not really, do you know how many troops Cao Cao has now?"

"How much?" The sources of frustration are mainly sent to investigate the families who have made good friends with Zhen Yan, and send news regularly. But little is known about Cao Cao's military and political affairs.

Yuan Xi is different, the blood bat has already infiltrated Jingzhou and knows the situation there well.

Yuan Xi said: "According to my investigation, Cao Cao recruited 350,000 recruits in Jingzhou in this year.... ”

"Three hundred and fifty thousand? How can it be! Frustrated's eyes widened.

He originally thought that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, recruits and veterans in Jingzhou together were less than 150,000. I didn't expect to exceed the budget so much.
