Cao Jun's seven roads from west to east respectively pointed to Yizhou Neihuang, Qinghe, Yuancheng, Guantao, Xiuxian, Leling, Xinyang. A flat push on the front line is tantamount to launching a full-scale attack on Yizhou.
Such a troop arrangement, so that there are only 8,000 basic troops in hand, and the rest are Lu Kuang garrison composed of temporary recruits, it is really absolutely impossible to deal with.
In the face of such a grim situation, Cheng Xu, as an assassin of a state, had to listen to the tribe that was waiting for trial. Putting aside the original official position, he is a cabinet envoy, and he has the identity of the Son of Heaven, and the officials must be three levels older, especially in this special situation, the military is overwhelming, and Cheng Xu must cooperate.
The judge continued: "Now that the entire Youzhou has entered a wartime state, everything must be compromised for the victory of this war, so I now decide, I ask Lord Assassin Shi to immediately order martial law on the entire Yizhou, restricting the free movement of the people, in order to minimize the losses of Yizhou as much as possible, now order that in the frontline areas closest to the border, all the people must retreat north with the food they can eat, enter the well-defended cities, and implement the clear of the vast areas of the wall, leaving not a grain of grain for Cao Cao's army." , a bale of grass. β
Cheng Xu looked pained: "In this way, I don't know how many people are ruined." β
The judge said firmly: "This is a war, this is a last resort, we have to bear the losses that should be had, and please make the assassin do a good job of rehousing the homeless people in the future, so as not to let them starve, and at the same time, the cabinet has decided that when the wall is cleared, the Lizheng Pavilion chiefs in various places will register the losses of the people, and after the war, we will give appropriate resettlement compensation." β
This is already absolutely merciful, and could not be more merciful. If this is left to other warlords, they will only use swords and guns to drive away the people, and they will not care about the loss and life of the people.
"What if there is a family that does not cooperate?" Cheng Xuding asked, it was not that he didn't want to take responsibility, but that it was too much to do with it, so he had to explain it in advance.
Now the big families in Youzhou, Yizhou and other places are actually all loyal fans of Lu Peng. However, it is not excluded that some people who are difficult to leave their homeland or are reluctant to leave their family business. And the gold and silver in their hands are not in their hands, but the grain in their hands will definitely be looted by Cao Cao's army to supply their own military supplies.
"Persuade them with good words, even if they don't leave, then regardless of their other family property, after the grain is registered, they will immediately set fire to it, and if there is any obstruction of execution, they will be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and there will be no forgiveness for killing."
With such an instruction, Cheng Xu immediately implemented this policy with confidence and boldness.
Leaving Cheng Xu's civil affairs alone, he interrogated Lu Kuang: "First of all, Xinyang in the east, let's ignore him, there is a sailor of General Sun Miao, if Cao Jun dares to attack Xinyang, he will be in a position of being attacked inside and outside."
The westernmost inner yellow, we can also ignore it for the time being, because it is close to Wulongkou, there is really danger, and the lord will definitely not sit idly by. The remaining five cities, Leling is also within the scope of our water division's support, and the old general Sun Miao will cooperate, and Qinghe Yuancheng and Guantaoxiu County are what we pay attention to. β
According to the trial and matching, as long as the seven-way army is responsible for blocking the four-way army, this pressure is reduced by half. But even this half is under a lot of pressure.
"General Lu's 8,000 main force, I will use it as a mobile force, and will never participate in the defense of the city, this army is my fist, my fire brigade, in this way, I need this army to have the fastest transfer speed, will be able to immediately switch from one battlefield to another, which requires full cooperation in logistics."
Cheng Xu stood up and said: "Over the years, there have been countless mules, horses, cattle and sheep trafficked over the grassland, and there is no shortage of mules and horses among the people. β
The judge nodded: "In this way, there will be an envoy." β
Cheng Xu replied: "It's all for the great cause of the lord, and I should do it, but I need Mr. to give me a paperwork, so I can apply to the Mizhu Household Department for expenses." β
The collection of civilian mules and horses can be administratively forced, which is necessary for the wartime economy, but according to the rules of Youzhou, it is necessary to pay the collectors, and the losses must be compensated, which requires a lot of money.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of money in Youzhou, as long as the reason is just, the household department will never refuse.
"This is natural, I will give you this formalities now, but I hope that this batch of mules and horses must be ready within three days."
Cheng Xu assured: "There is no problem. β
With a cart to transport soldiers, not only can the speed of maneuver be improved, but more importantly, after the battle on a battlefield is over, there is no need, stop and rest for a few days to recover physical strength, everyone can jump on the carriage, rest in peace on the carriage, and go to the next battle, in this way, the 8,000 main force in Lu Kuang's hands can take on the role of other people's 20,000 troops.
"It's just that the garrisons everywhere are going to suffer heavy casualties."
"Cao Hong and Jia Xu's main force is attacking the Guantao in the middle, whether we are in terms of strategy or strength, we can't shake it, and we must not poke this hornet's nest, so I now decide that Guantao is leaving a part of the troops to defend it, and it can drag on for a few days, but in my thinking, give him up and let him be complacent for a while."
Giving up an important county seat is a very important decision, looking at Lu Kuang, who was heavy-faced, and Cheng Xu, who wanted to speak again, he said: "I will fight this report, and I will take all the responsibilities." β
Then he waved his hand to stop what the two people wanted to say, and continued to talk about his strategy: "My strategy is to concentrate our main forces, hold one point, block one team, and cooperate with the army of high-ranking cadres wandering outside to annihilate one team, which is called, it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers." β
Lu Kuang had to admire the decisiveness of this matching.
"When we annihilate one of the enemy, we will immediately work with General Gao Gan, and then pounce on the other one, so as to form an absolute strength advantage in one direction, annihilate them one by one, and finally have a decisive battle with Cao Hongjiaxu, our purpose is to annihilate Cao Cao's 150,000 troops outside."
At this time, Lu Kuang couldn't help but be worried: "Even if we sweep away several other groups of enemies one by one, we will also have losses, and the 28,000 men and horses who can finally participate in the decisive battle with Cao Hong Jiaxu are no more than 20,000, and they are still at a disadvantage in terms of troops." β
As a result, the trial was relaxed: "The lord has told me that as long as we hold off the enemy for half a month, he will send us 50,000 iron horsemen." β
Now the entire Lu family army has been dispatched, 50,000 iron horsemen, where is it?
