Chapter 61 Preliminary Formulation of Strategies for Dealing with the Enemy Sharpen the knife and send troops again
There are only three people left in the entire meeting hall, Liu Bei, Tian Feng and Jia Xu, it's not that Liu Bei doesn't believe in the resourcefulness of Zhao Yun and others, it's just that at this moment, all the generals will assist Zhao Yun in selecting war horses and soldiers!
Moreover, this time it will not be finalized how to send troops to attack the coalition forces of the nations, but only a little discussion!
"Lord, in fact, this time with more than 300,000 troops from all countries, we are not without a chance of winning, in fact, what my Han is worried about is nothing more than the 210,000 troops on the frontal battlefield, and the rest of the border garrisons of the Dawan Kingdom and the defensive army of the Yanqi Kingdom are not to worry at all?" Tian Feng had just been counsellor for military affairs, so he was the first to speak!
"The garrison army of Yanqi State, as long as our army does not send troops from Shanshan County, it will not pose a threat to our army, and at the same time, the army of Dawan Kingdom, as long as our army is undefeated or not defeated, there is no need to worry! That's why Feng Cai said that the people he was worried about were only 210,000 troops! Tian Feng continued!
"That said, but do you have a plan?" Although Liu Bei was worried, he was not in a hurry!
"There are three strategies for the upper, middle and lower, which can be used as a reference for the lord!" Jia Xu thought about it and said!
"Oh, really?" Liu Bei said excitedly.
"However, also, on the plan, concentrate superior forces, directly raid the Yanqi country, win the battle, and at the same time defeat the small countries around the Yanqi country one by one, and then attack the Qiuzi country on both sides, then it will be able to divide the armies of the countries, and the victory rate of our army will be greatly increased!"
"In the plan, concentrate the superior forces on the alliance of the countries in a battle, and at the same time recruit the young and strong of the four counties to defend the city, and wait for the victory on the frontal battlefield, then clean up the Yanqi Kingdom and the Dawan Kingdom! But there are only five or five wins and losses in a head-to-head battle! ”
"Next, it is best to defend Yushule County, develop with peace of mind for two years, or wait for the infighting of the coalition forces, Wusun State withdraws its troops, and defeats the Qiuzi Kingdom in one fell swoop, and then occupies the Yanqi Kingdom! However, there are pros and cons to these three strategies, and I hope the lord will weigh them! ”
"Well, these three strategies are indeed good three strategies at the moment, but the next strategy, I can't choose, there is not much time left for me at the moment, I need to stabilize the Western Regions as soon as possible!" Liu Bei thought about it and said.
"But the best strategy and the middle strategy will inevitably suffer great casualties, and it is difficult to choose between them!" Liu Bei continued quite unwillingly!
"Lord, if you win this battle, why worry about not being able to recruit soldiers? And, why don't you hesitate to call for your life. "Jia Xu is worthy of being a poisoner, in fact, since Jia Xu followed Liu Bei to the Western Regions, the schemes he offered were also quite vicious, but Liu Bei was more fortunate that the result did not develop to the worst side!
"Lord, Feng has a strategy as a supplement to Wen and Shang's strategy!" Tian Feng interjected at this time!
"Lord, since Wen and Shangce want to use troops against the Yanqi Kingdom, why don't you cut off the troops of the Dawan Kingdom first, if you can destroy the Dawan Kingdom quickly, you can strengthen our army first, and you can remove a threat! What's more important is that Dawan has not promised the alliance of all countries so far, and presumably all countries will not mobilize their troops to rescue! Tian Feng said slowly!
"That's right, in this way, as long as it works properly, our army can completely destroy the Dawan Kingdom first, and then eliminate the Qi Kingdom, and then attack the Qiuzi Kingdom on both sides, and the victory rate should be enough to reach sixty percent, or even higher!" Jia Xu's eyes couldn't help but light up and echoed.
At this time, Liu Bei fell into deep thought, in fact, he thought more long-term, if the Western Regions defeated the Dawan Kingdom and destroyed the Dawan Kingdom, then it would be directly bordered by the Kangju Kingdom and the Wusun Kingdom, and would it attract the army of the Kangju Kingdom, or the remaining troops in the Wusun Country! But after all, there is no perfect plan for war, everything is ever-changing! If you want to rely on the whole process of the battle before the war, you can't do it!
Since Jia Xu and Tian Feng both agreed to the second strategy, Liu Bei preliminarily decided on the strategy for this battle: first attack the Dawan Kingdom, and then destroy the Qi Kingdom or the Qiuzi Kingdom!
At this time, because the alliance of all countries is still outside the city of Chen Binggu and Mo Kingdom, Liu Bei does not border with Wusun Country at this moment, otherwise he still needs an army to guard against Wusun Kingdom!
In fact, Liu Bei is not worried that the allied forces of the countries will attack Shule County, the main reason is that there are more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in Shule County at this time, if all of them are used to defend the city, the 200,000 troops of the allied forces of the countries will definitely not be able to win an easy battle!
The plan has been decided, and Liu Bei began to issue orders!
"Zhang Zhao mobilized the young men of Khotan County and Shule County to assist in defending the city, during the defense of the city, they all had three meals a day, and they could receive military pay every day, and at the same time, if they unfortunately died in battle, they would be compensated as soldiers!"
"Zhao Yun should equip the tiger and leopard ride as soon as possible, and be familiar with the battle formation, bring ten days of dry food, and set off with me in ten days!"
"With Lu Bu leading the Hundred Battles Army, everyone will prepare ten days of dry food and set off with me!"
"Xu Huang commanded the leopard Tao army Tian Feng as a military advisor, stationed in Jingjue County and Khotan County! After that the camera acts. Fight with the main army into horns! "In fact, Xu Huang is stationed on the border of Jingjue County and Khotan County, which is not particularly far from Liu Bei's main force, one is in the south of the allied forces of the countries, and the other is in the west of the allied forces of the various countries, but Xu Huang's defensive pressure will be quite large, and if he is not careful, he may even be surrounded and annihilated by the allied forces.
Liu Bei believes in Xu Huang and Tian Feng, Xu Huang was originally a wise general, and at the same time, with the assistance of the strategist Tian Feng, it is not a big problem not to suffer a big loss on the southern front!
"Under the command of Jia Xu, the Black Flag Army, the Xiaoguo Army, the Shence Army and the Pro-Guard Army are stationed in the Shule base camp, waiting for my order to attack together!"
The orders were conveyed layer by layer, and Liu Bei's four counties in the Western Regions once again entered the mode of preparing for war!
…………………………………………………………
At this time, in the camp of the coalition of all countries, the generals of all countries also gathered together to discuss matters.
Liu Bei's return to the Western Regions was not a difficult thing to inquire about, so when the generals of the allied forces knew that Liu Bei had returned to the Western Regions, they spontaneously gathered to discuss the war!
In this discussion, sitting in the main seat was Chi Xingmi, the general of Wusun Guoda Kunmi, and sitting on his left and right were Bai Qing, the general of Qiuzi State, and Long Zhan, the general of Yanqi State, both of whom were royalty. The rest are the generals of various small countries and the accompanying generals!
"This time Liu Bei returned to the Western Regions from Beijing, it will definitely set off a bloody storm, I don't know what you think?" It was Chi Xingmi who spoke.
"It's not that we disrespect the Han Dynasty, it's that Liu Bei is too much, he actually wants to confiscate the military power of the Western Regions, and put the monarchs of the countries under house arrest, and our army is several times larger than the Han army, so it's better to open the formation and win a battle!" After all, Qiuzi is a big country second only to Wusun, and it is quite confident when it comes to speaking!
"No, if the Han army only cares about defense, then our army may not be able to win, and if there are reinforcements from the territory of the Han Dynasty, our army will be defeated!" Long Zhan, the general of Yanqi Kingdom, said!
"I also have this intention, as long as Liu Bei is not allowed to take a step forward this time, it will be a victory, of course, if we find a fighter, we should win a battle against the Han army. And the Han army is scheming, be careful of the tricks of the Han army! Chi Xingmi said!
"That's fine, as long as Liu Bei can't take a step into the army, we will have a chance to defeat the Han army after a long confrontation, and the Han army just won the southern route of the Silk Road last year, and the countries are still unstable, so we have to wait for a few wins first, and I am afraid that we don't need to continue to attack, so it is possible to mess up by ourselves, and then it will be a good time for us to drive Liu Bei away!" Bai Qing said in desperation!
"That's true, and I also heard that Dahan is not very stable in the country, and thieves are everywhere, so as long as we hold on long enough, we have a chance!" Chi Xingmi said at this time!
"In that case, then please go back and instruct your subordinates not to fight without permission, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!"
After thinking about it, Chi Xingmi continued: "A large number of scouts are sent every day to observe Liu Beijun's position, and any disturbances must be reported to me!" ”
After everyone heard this, they agreed to it, and then Chi Xingmi dismissed everyone!
In fact, Chi Xingmi also has his own considerations, this time he discussed with Da Kunmi to send troops to support the Qiuci Kingdom and the Yanqi Kingdom, one is the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and the other is to consume the soldiers of the Qiuci Kingdom and the Yanqi Kingdom in this battle, and then annex these two countries at the first opportunity.
As for Liu Bei's Han army, he thought more about a protracted war, after all, the biggest problem Liu Bei faced was the lack of troops, and as long as he operated it properly, he would have a good chance to quickly take the Yanqi Kingdom and the Qiuci Kingdom. Then in a decisive battle with Liu Bei, the Western Regions can be swallowed!
But all fantasies are always good! At this time, Liu Bei had already begun to actively prepare for the battle, and it was not a separate defense!
