Listening to Guo Bin, the strategic goal of this battle is not to retreat from the enemy, but to capture and kill Xianbei Dadan Yu and Lian, and everyone present was shocked. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in great spirits, and they wanted to come here to do a big job again! Although Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang had heard the news of Guo Bin's fierce battle in the Central Plains, they had never seen it with their own eyes after all. At this time, there were still doubts about Guo Bin's bold words, but the two of them had been in business for many years, and they were all excited at the moment.

After a while, Su and the other sides hesitated: "So what should we do for today's plan?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "For today's plan, it is to send people to the Xianbei Dadan Yu and Lian Department to find out the truth and truth." Whether the Xianbei people are mobilizing manpower, whether they are hoarding grain and grass, how many people can be dispatched this time, and who the coach is, must be found out. ”

Zhang Shiping said: "This is easy to say, after we built the city, we subdued a few small Xianbei tribes. Their weapons are not good, and their equipment is poor, if they are used to fight with Helian with real swords and guns, I am afraid they will not be able to do it, but if they are just to listen to the enemy's situation, they are very suitable. ”

Guo Bin nodded, he knew that he had ordered Zhang Shiping to subdue a few small Xianbei tribes, so that it was much easier to deal with Xianbei people on weekdays. At that moment, he said to Zhang Shiping: "In this case, this matter will be handed over to you." However, their military capabilities are limited, and the information they have obtained is not very accurate, so let Guo Er and them go with them. ”

Guo Bin's words are not because he doesn't believe Zhang Shiping, but because this is indeed the case. You must know that the scouts at this time are high-tech troops, and it is not possible to detect the enemy's situation at a glance, but to investigate carefully, otherwise it is easy to mislead your own commander and cause unnecessary losses. The so-called people are ten thousand, boundless. When ordinary people see the mountains full of people, they will only sigh in their hearts that there are so many people, while most of the trained scouts can estimate the number of people on the other side, equipment and other information. Therefore, it is most appropriate to use Xianbei people as pioneers and let Guo Er and them go to visit.

Now that Guo Bin opened his mouth, everyone nodded convincingly.

Guo Jia said: "It's just that our side is short of troops after all, if it really starts, how to defend and attack, I'm afraid the manpower can't be transferred!" ”

Su Shuangyi patted his head and suggested: "There is a shortage of manpower, we can let the various departments in the city who come to trade contribute!" I am afraid that the guards of the Xianbei and Han caravans in this central city will not add up to 10,000 or 20,000 people, if they can all be used by me, then there is no need to worry about manpower! ”

However, after Su Shuang's words were finished, Xi Zhicai stood up and said categorically: "No! ”

Zhang Shiping hesitated for a while, and said, "Dare to ask the military advisor, why not?" Those Xianbei people originally dismounted for the people and became an army, and the guards of the Han caravan from the Central Plains were even brighter and well-equipped. With the prestige of the lord in the Central Plains, I think I will be able to mobilize them, and it will definitely be a big help at that time! ”

Xi Zhicai glanced at Zhang Shiping and said slowly: "Outsiders in the city, whether they are Xianbei guards or Han guards, are not available. Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, only Guo Bin and Guo Jia's brothers agreed, he nodded, and said to Guo Jia: "Little Guo Jia, tell me, why can't you use these people?" ”

Guo Bin suddenly became interested, and he was naturally happy to see Xi Zhicai's thing of exercising Guo Jia anytime and anywhere.

Guo Jia was also in high spirits, and said: "The time for me to build a city outside the Saiwai is still short, although I have indeed subdued a few small tribes in the vicinity of the left, and I have also made a little reputation outside the Saiwai, but I have not yet shown my martial bravery. To put it simply, it is a lack of prestige. Now is the time to intimidate the crowd and establish prestige, how can such a thing be faked? ”

Xi Zhicai and Guo Bin glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of relief. Guo Jia is right, the three cities outside the city have a foothold outside the city, and it has only been more than a year, although the security in the city is acceptable, and the Xianbei tribes in the Quartet have also swept away, but the prestige is still far from enough.

If the three cities outside the Saiwai were only used for reclamation, with little influence on the grasslands and extremely close to the Great Wall, they would not be too coveted, then their prestige would be enough. But now, the daily transaction volume of the three cities outside the Saiwai can be calculated with tens of millions or even tens of thousands of dollars, and just the tax commission will have a dividend of millions of dollars.

In addition, the three cities are located at the junction of the Central Plains and the grassland, with convenient transportation, abundant water and grass, and a large population. It can not only grow crops or graze cattle and sheep to meet the food needs of the people in the city, but also the gateway for goods in and out of the Central Plains.

Not to mention, the tribe of Putou took advantage of the convenience of the three cities outside the Saiwai and Xianbei in the west to specialize in the business of material transfer, and there were countless herdsmen who went to take refuge for a time, so they were prosperous. In the hearts of the major chiefs on the grassland, if anyone can control this place, it is not a wealth of money, and a daily increase in money?

Therefore, today's three cities outside the Saiwai are like a child walking in a robber's den with a peerless treasure, and the surrounding larger tribes, which one is not so red-eyed? This is the so-called innocent and guilty.

Now that Xianbei Dadan Yu and Lian have a great possibility of coming to attack, they just take this opportunity to fight a beautiful battle, and while solving this crisis, they can also show their muscles in front of the Xianbei tribes, so that the several Xianbei tribes who are about to move can weigh it well.

And if this time with the help of the escort power brought by the caravan in the city, he reluctantly repelled Helian, not only would it be impossible to achieve the effect of Liwei, but it would make the Xianbei tribes and the Han caravan have a say in the management of the city. Once this opening is opened, I am afraid that such a good order in the city will not be so easy to maintain, and it can be said that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Therefore, this battle can only use Guo Bin's own strength in the three cities outside the Saiwai, and it needs to be won beautifully in order to achieve the strategic goal agreed upon by Guo Bin, Xi Zhicai and others.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are such people, although they don't know much about military affairs, they can understand all laws, they captured the key point of Guo Jia's words in an instant, and they even sweated for their bad ideas. If they really act according to the plan of the two just now, they will be able to keep the three cities outside the Saiwai, and I am afraid that they will have to deal with all kinds of troubles in the future.

Guo Bin looked at the expressions of the two of them, knowing that they had already understood Guo Jia's words, and he couldn't bear to see them working diligently, and they were so frightened, so he said: "It's okay, you two don't understand military affairs, and it's understandable to make such a small mistake." However, the attitude of actively speaking in the meeting and working hard to use our brains is still very positive, we just have to work together and unite as one to overcome difficulties! Guo Bin's sentence "Three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang" has not been spoken, Zhuge Liang at this time, I'm afraid he is just an infant child, right?

However, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang listened to Guo Bin's affirmation, and their hearts were extremely excited. They have been working so hard for more than a year, isn't it for Guo Bin's approval? Although the idea of the two of them is not appropriate, after all, they are loyal, and they have been affirmed by Guo Bin, and the two of them are very ironed in their hearts.

Xi Zhicai also nodded secretly when he heard it, if Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were really both civil and military, not only could they manage the three cities outside the Saiwai in an orderly manner, they could sweep the surrounding small tribes, and their military talents were impeccable, then they should be relieved. Guo Bin was able to put these two people in such an important position, not only did he put a lot of effort into personnel appointments, but he also stuffed many people from the Guo family in, I am afraid that there was also a reason why the two of them were not talented in military affairs. This is the case in politics, no matter what level it is, only mutual checks and balances and mutual containment are the only really smart ways to do it.

I only heard Guo Jia say: "As for manpower, it is the least thing to worry about." ”

Guan Yuqi said: "Oh? How do you say that? ”

Guo Jia paced back and forth, and said with a little excitement: "Brother Yunchang, who are the residents in the city?" ”

Guan Yu was taken aback, sat up straight, and raised his voice: "You mean, the Yellow Turban descended?" ”

"That's it! Most of the residents in these cities were prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army who were rescued by the eldest brother. At the beginning, they had no food and clothing, and their lives were also worried, but it was the eldest brother who took a great risk to save them! Now that they have settled in the three cities outside the Saiwai, although they are still captives, they always have a place to stay, which is not a small favor. Now that the three cities outside the Saiwai are in danger, it is the right time for them to come forward! What's more, if the city is broken, it is they themselves who will suffer the most. Guo Bin waved his little fist, his eyes shining.

After listening to this analysis, everyone suddenly realized. No wonder Guo Bin heard that Xianbei Da Danyu was coming to attack, and he didn't panic at all, it turned out that he had already made a decision. Immediately, everyone had to sigh inexplicably for Guo Bin's foresight, no one could understand that Guo Bin was young, long-term, thoughtful, and broad-minded, all of which were so outstanding. It is the top strategists who are so amazing and brilliant as Xi Zhicai are willing to use it, and Xun Yu, an outstanding descendant of the Yingchuan Xun clan, also worships him.

However, at this time, Guo Bin was still frowning, this task is heavy, the risk is not small, and there is no room for mistakes, how to come up with a perfect strategy?

Yes, the nearly 500,000 Yellow Turban prisoners in the three cities outside the city are indeed a big hole card for their own side, and their status is special, if they are rewarded as official residents, it will not take much effort to mobilize them. These people were able to survive the melee in the Central Plains, not only because they had the spirit of hardship and hard work, but also because they had a strong physique that surpassed ordinary people. Because the enemy of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is not only the officers and soldiers who come to suppress the bandits, their biggest enemy is hunger. They had to stuff everything they could see that seemed to be food into their stomachs, so that although it was not good for the stomach, such a difficult living environment and the upheaval of life experience all trained them to be mentally tough and physically strong.

Thinking about the life outside the plug that has been relatively adequate for nearly a year, their bodies have been adjusted to an excellent state. At the very least, there should be no problem in coping with high-intensity operations.
