The scale of the Qingxu defense battle was much smaller than Gongsun Kang expected. None of the princes of any side took the initiative of the whole army and invested all their troops.

Of the 60,000 soldiers prepared in advance in Liaodong, not a single soldier was dispatched to support. Only Tai Shici's navy fought a water battle on the Huai River, but they didn't even go up the riverbank.

Qingzhou Xuzhou's own soldiers and horses solved the crisis, so that Gongsun Kang realized the strength of his own strength.

Think about it when I was preparing for the war last year, I even prepared for the worst, and planned to blow up the Yellow River. It's funny to think about.

But these preparations are not ineffective. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the princes with all their forces pressed up!

In the Qingxu War, the soldiers who had been prepared in Liaodong watched every day, and they were all itchy and asked for battle.

Gongsun Kang didn't allow it, he said: "The war is fought by national strength!" It's the financial resources that fight! If Liaodong soldiers and horses are dispatched, even if they go to Qingzhou and Xuzhou to go around, without moving a knife or a shot, it will be a huge and boundless consumption of property! ”

After hearing this, the soldiers were convinced and no longer proposed to fight, but the fighting spirit was still raging.

Gongsun Kang convened a meeting of the strategists in Liaodong to discuss the direction of using troops. The participants are still Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xu Miao, Tian Chou, Cao Huachun, and Li Shanchang.

Although it is long overdue to add new military divisions, there are not many military divisions in the three countries with real skills, and half of the quota has already been occupied here.

Gongsun Kang said: "The military heart is available, you military advisers see where you can use troops recently?" ”

The chief housekeeper Li Shanchang said: "The national tribes around us are Samhan, Wado, Goguryeo, Wofu, and Buyeo, so let's take a look at them one by one. ”

Xun You said: "First of all, we will rule out the places where there is no need to use soldiers, and I will talk about it first." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Xun You began to speak: "Sanhan does not need to use troops at present. The reason is that Samhan has already occupied half of the territory and is slowly advancing. The correctness of the current strategy has been demonstrated. It is densely forested and the mountains are not high, but the hills and ravines are crisscrossed. If the whole army is pressed rashly, the benefits will not be large, but the battle damage will be serious, so it is not appropriate to use troops. ”

Guo Jia agreed with him, adding: "Samhan can only use the current method of cutting down trees and plundering the natives at the same time. The tree does not fall, it is not suitable for attacking. ”

This method was proposed by Gongsun Kang, and of course he agreed with Xun You's opinion. He said, "Samhan should continue to use the old way. The soldiers of Obibang-gun don't need to be transferred out, they just need to concentrate on dealing with the Samhan natives. ”

Xi Zhicai then spoke, saying: "Wajima does not need to use soldiers. In fact, the fanatics of Kyushu Island can conquer the entire Wajima, and the lord keeps the Honshu Island and slowly erodes it in order to make the entire Wajima a fanatical believer. ”

Gongsun Kang laughed: "Haha, Zhi knows me." Truly! Now Wadao can be conquered without Liaodong sending a single soldier. At present, Kyushu Island and Honshu Island are constantly transporting gold, silver, copper and iron to Liaodong, just like an old hen that lays golden eggs. It doesn't make much difference to conquer or not. ”

Wadao is known as a metal standard, in addition to gold and silver, copper and iron are also available, Zheng He has expanded the types of mining.

There are many volcanoes in Wajima, and the mineral deposits of Wajima are relatively large in coal, limestone, sulfur, copper, and bismuth. Zheng He has already arranged for people to mine these things. It can be said that Wajima has now become a large-scale mining base. More than half of the household's households are involved in mining.

Coal is left behind, and a local factory is set up to refine metal ore; Limestone produces cement, and roads have been built on Wajima to lead from the mine to the seaside wharf.

In addition to grain, the materials transported by Liaodong to Wadao also include: cloth, wine, matches, furniture, paper, cotton, etc., which have been used as a dumping base for goods.

The living standards of the people of Wajima have improved dramatically, and as long as they work diligently to mine and refine metals every day, all good life will come. This also made the belief in the god of thunder deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. More and more people on Wajima have accepted the saying that Thor is the great savior of the people. If Thor is thick-skinned, add a sentence: It is the reddest and reddest red sun in the sky, it is estimated that the people of Wajima can also accept it.

Xu Miao continued: "Buyeo doesn't need to use soldiers, they are too honest and have always been willing to be our vassal state in Liaodong. It's a little unbearable to beat him. ”

Cheng Yu sneered: "The enemy has not been eliminated yet, so naturally he will not go to the little brother of the landline; When all the enemies are destroyed, will you still be unable to bear to reunify? ”

Xu Miao also smiled, he said: "When the lord unifies the Central Plains, as long as there is an order, Buyeo will be incorporated into our country, and everyone will be a family, and there will be no younger brother." ”

A group of strategists are smiling, they are not good people.

Guo Jia said: "Then the place where we can use troops is only Goguryeo and Wofu." Wofu has always been a tribal confederation and has not been able to form an independent state. It is now a vassal of Goguryeo. So it's actually a fight against Goguryeo! ”

Cheng Yu answered: "If we attack Goguryeo, we can let Buyeo also send troops, and the younger brother must have the consciousness of the younger brother!" I'm going to help my big brother fight! ”

Everyone laughed and laughed.

Gongsun Kang also smiled and said: "That's it, we should conduct joint exercises with Buyeo and conduct large-scale military training on the territory of Goguryeo." ”

Then he ordered a feast and conspired with the advisers to get drunk. As for the specific drill and training strategy, we will continue to discuss it at a meeting tomorrow.
