In fact, it is such a person, but the ancient technology is backward, and the two sides are at war, and both sides will pay attention to the number of people to a large extent, but it is difficult to detect the actual number of people on the other side, so they have developed a habit, that is, to brag about their numbers.

For example, in the battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao claimed to have a million armor, but in fact, his total number of soldiers and horses was only about 400,000; Secondly, in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao also boasted that he wanted to hunt Jiangdong with Sun Quan, but in fact, there were only two or three hundred thousand people; Moreover, the ancestor Liu Bei and Wu, who also called the 800,000 army, did not even have 200,000!

The reason why he boasted of a large number of soldiers and horses was nothing more than to take advantage of the poor place to investigate the detailed troops, report a little more, and hit the morale of the other side.

Yongchang, Taishou Mansion, all the officials are listed on both sides, and the head of the position is naturally Kong Ming sitting on it.

"The rebellion is the intensification of the internal contradictions of the country, no matter what, who wins and who loses, it costs the country's own strength, the longer the rebellion lasts, the greater the hidden danger it brings, Liang came this time, with the intention of quickly resolving the rebellion of Nanzhong Yonghong, Zhu Bao, and Gaoding!"

"The three of them have been rebelling for half a year, and there are about 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and Liang brought 30,000 elite soldiers this time, they are all fierce soldiers who have followed the first emperor to be born and died, and with the defenders of Nanzhong, our army must have more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and in terms of total strength, our army is not weaker than the rebels! And all we need to do is how to quickly resolve the rebellion! Because, Liang believes that the counterinsurgency will be successful, and what we are looking for is time! ”

"We will obey the Prime Minister's orders!" The officials below saluted in unison.

With a feather fan in his hand, Kong Ming ordered someone to take the map, hang it on the wall, and point to a small county road on the way: "This place is called Yandao County, which can be quickly reached by waterway. ”

All the officials above nodded their heads.

"The terrain in Nanzhong is complex, integrating mountains, hills, rivers, and poisonous springs, which is not suitable for large-scale operations of the army, so this time the chaos cannot be fought by the whole army, which will inevitably be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and our army can only divide the troops!"

"Division?"

When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, the terrain in Nanzhong is too complicated, it is indeed not as good as other places, especially the mountainous terrain, and it is not suitable for cavalry combat, because of this, Zhuge Liang only brought two thousand cavalry this time, and the rest are infantry!

"This time, the troops will be divided, with a total of three routes, east, west, and middle, to strike at Zhu Bao, Gaoding, and Yonghong respectively!"

"Among them, the East Route Army was led by Ma Zhong, the governor of the door, and marched from Yandao County to the southeast of Jike County to eliminate Zhu Bao's department, according to the spy report, Zhu Bao's department has a strength of about 6,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is average, so only Ma Zhong's garrison, plus the transfer of 3,000 people in the main army this time is enough to deal with it!"

"After defeating Zhu Bao, it is necessary to appease the people, among the rebels, Zhu Bao is the weakest, but when it comes to harming the people, he will bear the brunt, so Ma Zhong's troops must be stabilized before deploying the operation!"

"The Western Route Army is led by Liang, Yang Yi joins the army, Gong Lu is too guarded by Yue Wang, and Zhang Bao and Guan Xing are with them! From the west of Yandao County to the Anshang area, the news of our army's arrival in Nanzhong will be known by Gaoding, all of which are Gaoding will gather troops on the front line of Yangniu, Dingxiao, and Beishui, and our army will wait for the enemy to assemble and fight a decisive battle with it in the Beishui area, and destroy the main force of Gaoding in one fell swoop! ”

"Once the war starts, Gao Ding will definitely ask for help in the direction of Yizhou, and the troops of Li Hui, the governor of the Middle Route Army, will start from Pingyi County, where he is currently stationed, along the mountain and forest paths, go around to Yizhou County, and capture Yizhou!"

"Once the decisive battle of the Western Route Army is over, Liang will lead the army to approach Yizhou, meet with Li Hui, and immediately attack the Yonghong Department of Yizhou.

"The deployment of the army will be notified like this, and it will be carried out!" Kong Ming waved his hand.

"No!" Everyone agreed one by one, and then there were heralds who set out from Yongchang and spread the word everywhere.

At this time, Kong Ming was still looking at the map, and said to Yang Yi, who was joining the army on the side: "Wei Gong, is there anything wrong with Liang's previous deployment?" ”

Yang Yi smiled and shook her head: "Prime Minister has no last resort, this deployment makes Yi ashamed!" ”

"Wei Gong, where do you think the key point is in the whole plan?"

Yang Yi stepped forward, and then stretched out his hand and drew a circle, encircling a part of the area! It says "Beishui"!

"Prime Minister, the biggest battle of the whole plan is the Beishui Decisive Battle, which determines the entire process of quelling the chaos in Nanzhong, and it is also the key to determining the length of time our army is trapped in Nanzhong!"

"Our army must not only defeat Gaoding here, but also completely wipe out its subordinates, Beishui is surrounded by mountains, and it must not be allowed to escape into the mountains and forests, and it must be encircled and suppressed!"

Listening to Yang Yi's point of view, Kong Ming immediately nodded, this is exactly what he thought in his heart, the army must not be trapped in the battlefield of Nanzhong!

Cao Zhen has already defeated the Huns, and he will go south again, and not only that, the army went out on the expedition, and he didn't stay for one more day, it was the cost of one day, and the cost of 30,000 troops a day was 500,000 yuan, that is, fifty taels of gold! One day doesn't seem like much, but when the army goes out on an expedition, it often counts years, and there are 10,000 taels of gold over there, and this is just a daily expense, counting other amounts, which are even greater.

Today's Shuzhong has no capital to squander at will, so he can only tighten his belt to save.

"Wei Gong, if you were Gao Ding, how would you arrange it in Beishui?"

After thinking about it again and again, Kong Ming was still not at ease, and immediately asked Yang Yi.

Seeing this, Yang Yi's brows inadvertently moved slightly: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" You've set it up so well that you don't need to be sure of yourself or force yourself to put pressure on yourself! Shuzhong needs you, but you also need enough rest to keep your body! ”

"It's okay, Wei Gong! A certain body knows it to himself, Wei Gong don't forget, Liang is only forty-two years old this year, and his forty-third birthday has not yet passed! ”

"Prime Minister! It's time for you to rest, along the way, you have been concerned about the affairs of Nanzhong, but you have never closed your eyes, even if the prime minister is a ninth-order great talisman master and has strong mental strength, he can't be so tired! ”

Regarding Yang Yi's persuasion, Kong Ming just smiled and waved his hand: "Wei Gong, it's okay, the army will march to Yandao County after noon today, there is less than an hour to count, Wei Gong should first see how the army rests and whether it can leave on time!" ”

"Prime Minister!"

Kong Ming smiled: "Go ahead!" ”

Yang Yi knew that he couldn't persuade Zhuge Liang, so he had no choice but to leave!

After Yang Yi left, although Kong Ming looked at the map, he thought about it, and after a while, his eyes became firm, and he said to himself: "The heavens are chaotic, the emperor star has appeared, the fate of Shu, Wu and Wei has changed suddenly, and the situation of the three parties will not last long!" There is not much time left for Ryo, and Ryoku must pave the rest of the way for His Majesty in advance! ”
