Chapter 1 Strategizing
Send Lu Bu away, and the layout of Jiangdong will be completed.
It's 195 A.D., and there's still a year to spare.
In this year, Yuan Shao would go to tear up with Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan finally suffered from autism and locked himself on the high platform. At the same time, he doubted everything, did not want to meet with any subordinates, only lived in it with his wife and concubine, and hoarded 3 million grains. Gongsun Chan alienated the guests again, so that there was no cronies around him, and the ministers and generals gradually became estranged. Since then, he has rarely come out to fight.
Cao Cao fought with Liu Bei in Yanzhou to regain control of Yanzhou. There will also be natural disasters in Yanzhou, such as severe drought and locust plagues, and the crops in the fields will not be harvested.
If Sun Ce wants to unify Jiangdong, he will inevitably face off with Lu Bu, and if the two tigers fight, there will be an injury. And now that Lu Bu has the support of Liaodong, he has no shortage of good generals, so it is likely that Sun Ce is injured.
Liu Biao is a dog guarding the household in Jingzhou, so there is nothing to worry about. There is no need to consider the possibility of him attacking Xuzhou.
The only one who could attack Xuzhou was Yuan Shu, and the route of his attack could only be Guangling County. At present, Gongsun Kang appointed Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling County, and if Chen Deng is willing to work hard, there will be no problem in holding Guangling County.
Gongsun Kang took precautions and sent 10,000 original Xuzhou soldiers to Chen Deng, but all the chiefs and uncles in it were replaced by Xuzhou system soldiers produced by the system. Doing so can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou soldiers, and it can also monitor Chen Deng and firmly grasp the control of the army.
To put it mildly, if Chen Deng dared to use these 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers to attack Gongsun Kang, it would be like attacking Lu Bu in history. As long as Gongsun Kang showed his face in front of the second army, and gave an order, Shi Chang and Bo Chang would immediately lead the soldiers to mutiniate and turn the blade towards Chen Deng.
Besides, Xu Rong, the governor of Xuzhou, is a fierce man who has overturned Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads. With Xu Rong and 20,000 Liaodong iron horsemen sitting in Xuzhou, no prince can easily capture Xuzhou.
Because of the abundant time, Gongsun Kang fooled around with Cao Bao's daughter Cao Ying and Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi in Xuzhou for a month, ignoring political affairs.
A month later, Xu Rong returned to Xuzhou, and Gongsun Kangcai officially handed over the military affairs of Xuzhou with him, and took Cao Ying and Lu Lingqi back to Liaodong Province.
These concubines of Gongsun Kang Hou were all the daughters of a powerful party, which could expand his territory, strengthen his rule, and improve the genes of his descendants. Therefore, Gongsun Kang can face Zhen Jiang and others with confidence, of course, this is also the subconscious of his later generations that makes him weak; You see that his wife Cao robbed so many women, did he have a weak heart? Does he need to consider the feelings of his early concubines?
Gongsun Kang returned to Liaodong, not just to let his new daughter-in-law meet her in-laws. He has more important things to do.
195 is a year of leisure, without worrying about the princes attacking his territory.
But in 196, when Yuan Shao subdued Gongsun Zhan, he would send people to attack Qingzhou.
After Cao Cao drove Liu Bei out of Yanzhou, he would crusade against Xuzhou again.
Yuan Shu is not a good thing, and when the time comes, he will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Guangling County.
When the time comes, Qingzhou and Xuzhou will really be embattled.
In order to prepare for a rainy day, in order to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, Gongsun Kang specially returned to Liaodong and gathered his advisers to prepare in advance to deal with the 196 war.
The participants included Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xu Miao, Tian Chou, Cao Huachun, and Li Shanchang, just like the strategists before the last Xuzhou take. Lu Su is eligible to join, but Xuzhou is in ruins, so he won't bother him.
Gongsun Kang was the first to speak, explaining the current form: after the last meeting of the strategists, the implementation was good. Not only did he take Xuzhou, but he also played chess pieces in Jiangdong.
He also emphasized that next year, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu will attack Qingzhou and Xuzhou together. In order to avoid being embattled, this meeting was specially convened.
After Gongsun Kang set the tone for the meeting, the strategists used their brains to think about what to do.
Li Shanchang said: "I suggest that we first take a look at our current war strength, and then talk about how we should lay it out. ”
The crowd thought he was right, and Xun Yu spoke first about his territory. "Obibang County has now occupied half of Samhan's land, which has been cut down with trees and converted into farmland," Xun said. At present, four new cities have been built in the heart of Samhan, for a total of eight cities. ”
The crowd listened intently to him, and no one interrupted him.
Xun You continued: "Don't talk about the population, only about the army. At present, there are 30,000 Han soldiers in Daifang County, all of whom are veterans of a hundred battles who have seen blood; There are also 20,000 Sanhan Eight Banner Army, all of which were converted by savages, and they have identified with the Liaodong Army in the past two years, and they can all rush to the front when they fight the Sanhan Turen tribe. ”
Gongsun Kang said: "The 30,000 Han soldiers will remain unmoved, and the 20,000 Sanhan Eight Banner Army can be drawn out next year and put into the Qingxu battlefield." ”
Li Shanchang consciously recorded that he was the role of logistics minister and chief of staff.
Xi Zhicai went on to talk about Lelang County. He said: "Lelang County has captured many Sanhan savages, but they have all been thrown to open mines. At present, there are 20,000 Han Chinese troops. ”
Gongsun Kang nodded: "The 20,000 Han troops can't be mobilized, after all, the three Hans haven't all been flattened." ”
Guo Jia told about Xuansu County, and he said: "There are 30,000 Han soldiers in Xuanwu County and 20,000 soldiers in Goguryeo Eight Banners. These Eight Banners have a fanatical worship of Hou Ye, and they have made great contributions many times, and they have all been converted to the Han family's hometown. They are not afraid of death in battle, and they are even stronger than the Han soldiers! ”
Gongsun Kang nodded again: "The old rule, Han soldiers can't move, and 20,000 Goguryeo Eight Banner Army will be transferred out next year." ”
arrived in Liaodong County, Liaodong County was Wang Lie's county, and he was not counted as a member of the strategist group. Therefore, Cao Huachun explained Liaodong County: "There are 30,000 Han soldiers in Liaodong County, of which 20,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry are currently stationed in Xuzhou. Because Liaodong County is now wrapped in Xuansu County, Lelang County, and Obifang County, and the powerful families in Liaodong have all been wiped out. Therefore, the 10,000 Liaodong iron horsemen who stayed behind had nothing to do, and they trained every day. What he meant was that these 10,000 Liaodong Iron Horsemen could also be drawn out.
Gongsun Kang shook his head: "Liaodong is where our headquarters is located, and there are always some people left, one is to be a mobile force, but also to reassure my father." ”
Everyone understood what he meant, and they no longer mentioned the iron cavalry of Liaodong County.
Finally, Cheng Yu elaborated on Liaoxi County, he said: "The population of Liaoxi County is relatively small, so there are only 10,000 Han soldiers, which are still at the level of county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. However, there are 20,000 Wuheng Eight Banner Army, skilled in bows and horses, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of Liaodong Iron Cavalry. ”
Gongsun Kang smiled: "Very good! There are already 20,000 Liaodong iron horsemen in Xuzhou, and these 20,000 Wuheng iron horsemen can be sent to Qingzhou. The princes of the Central Plains lacked horses, and neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao could raise 20,000 cavalry. ”
After Li Shanchang finished counting, he concluded: "We can send a total of 80,000 soldiers to Qingzhou and Xuzhou next year. Among them, 20,000 Liaodong iron cavalry have been stationed in Xuzhou; 20,000 Wuheng Iron Cavalry decided to send it to Qingzhou; Another 20,000 Goguryeo Eight Banner Army and 20,000 Samhan Eight Banner Army are waiting for arrangement. ”
Everyone was quite emotional when they heard this number, and before they knew it, the total number of troops under Gongsun Kang had exceeded 200,000 (including the armies of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Wadao). Among the princes, the number of troops was second only to Yuan Shao, according to the second.
