Yu also felt that it was inappropriate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This war is extremely critical, if there is some civil unrest within us, then we will collapse without a fight. It's not appropriate. ”

"I think that if this is not the case, we will declare to the outside world in the name of Qin Tianjian that the Yellow River will be flooded this year, and then call on the people along the Yellow River to spontaneously go to strengthen the Heti River dam, in this way, it is equivalent to helping our army build fortifications for free, which can help our army save a lot of money and food expenses." Guo Jia suggested.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, this is a good idea.

Automatically drive the people's power.

Cao Cao was also very approving, "Well, Fengxiao's idea is very good!" As Zhong De just said, borrowing grain from rich families is probably not easy to operate, right? Cao Cao then asked.

"Don't worry, the lord is actually simple, as long as the government finds some of their shortcomings, I'm not afraid that they won't borrow." Cheng Yu smiled siniverly.

"In fact, not only is it difficult to borrow, but it may also be difficult to buy." Xun Yu expressed the opposite opinion. He didn't agree with Cheng Yu's idea of forced borrowing, which was actually no different from forced robbery. But now he will not explicitly object, so he has to turn the topic to the issue of buying grain.

"It's very difficult to buy grain from Jingzhou and Yizhou." Everyone else nodded.

"I think this problem can be solved together with the second problem." Xun You came out and said: "If you want to buy grain from other princes, in fact, you must first persuade them to support us, or at least maintain neutrality between Hebei and Henan. ”

"Gongda is right." Cao Cao nodded and said, "However, if you want to convince the other parties, it is not so easy, I'm afraid it will take some words." ”

There was silence again.

No one else is stupid, if you want others to support you, you have to come up with enough benefits, or come up with enough reasons to come out.

"It's simple, actually." Guo Jiadao.

"How so? Will the plan be settled? Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"In fact, it's very simple, we just need to cooperate with Hebei to publicize the strong strength of Yuan Shao's side, how strong Yuan Shao's troops are, how many people and soldiers, more land and more food, how powerful Yuan's army is, how powerful the army is, how weak our army is, and how vulnerable it is."

"That's it?"

"That's right, it's as simple as that.

In fact, for the other princes, the worst outcome is not that we win, nor that Yuan Shao wins, but that one of our two sides wins quickly and loses. For the other princes, the best outcome is that the two of us fight to the death, defeat both sides but in the end neither can help the other, and the strength of both sides is greatly weakened. This kind of ending is the best ending for the other princely forces. The worst-case scenario is that one of us is quickly wiped out and quickly routed, which is the last thing the other forces want to see. If this happens, one side will win quickly and the other will lose quickly, and the winning side will quickly become more powerful than ever, which is a situation that is difficult for other princes to accept.

Therefore, we can take advantage of the spectator psychology of these princes, use newspapers, etc., to pretend that we are a weakling, a complete weakling, and that Yuan Shao is a very strong party. I think Hebei will automatically cooperate with us, belittle us wantonly, and frantically praise itself. We used this to persuade the other princes to support us, or at least not Yuan Shao. In this way, it will be much easier to buy grain. ”

Guo Jia explained carefully.

Guo Jia's words won a voice of appreciation.

"Feng Xiao's strategy is very good!" Xun You also praised: "This can even encourage Yuan Shao's blind movement, creating an illusion that Yuan Shao can take risks and advance." ”

"Yes, Yuan Benchu will definitely be dizzy. A certain family knows him too well, Yuan Benchu has a good name, and he likes to listen to praise the most, especially the praise from his opponents, which will make him forget the height of the sky. Hebei's newspapers, etc., will definitely blow more than us, haha. Cao Cao also clapped his hands.

Everyone applauded and applauded.

Only Xun Yu frowned and said, "It's just that in this way, I am afraid that it will be a big blow to the morale of our people." ”

Xun Yu's concerns are not unreasonable.

Since ancient times, the two sides have confronted each other, why are they desperately smearing and belittling each other, desperately exalting and exaggerating themselves, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is the morale of the people. If even you are desperately saying that the other party is too strong, we are too weak, and we can't win at all. If you say so, then what kind of support can you have, what kind of morale can you have, maybe as soon as the fight starts, the soldiers will throw away their weapons, and they will either flee for their lives or surrender, and you won't have to fight.

Xun Yu said a word, and everyone turned their attention to Guo Jia again, after all, this idea was Guo Jia's idea.

"Don't worry. Actually, I was thinking just now, I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to win this battle with Yuan Shao. As Wen Ruo just said, we have two fatal weaknesses, one is that after years of continuous war, grain and grass are unsustainable, and Yuan Shao is a behemoth, which requires us to work hard, in this case, the amount of money and grain needed is not ordinary; In addition, we are in the land of four wars, and the surrounding princes, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, etc., are all hostile to us, and it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

"Bonghyo, what exactly do you want to say?" Cao Cao couldn't help but interrupt Guo Jia's tirade.

"My lord, everyone, what I want to say is that our early armament arrangement, especially facing the front line of Jizhou and Qingzhou, can be light in the front and heavy in the rear, with a small number of troops in the front and an increase in troops in turn. The advantage of this is that shortening the transportation of grain, grass, and military materials is equivalent to saving a lot of money and grain. Moreover, this can play a role in arrogance and pave the way for us to defeat Yuan Shao in the future. ”

Guo Jia didn't say in detail how to defeat Yuan Shao, but everyone understands the general meaning, Guo Jia is telling everyone that we can use arrogant tactics and lure the enemy deeper, and then annihilate the enemy with a camera.

Xun Yu frowned, and couldn't help but ask: "Fengxiao, you still haven't said, how to solve the problem of people's morale?" ”

Guo Jia hasn't answered yet, Xun You has already come out to answer on his behalf.

"Uncle, what Feng Xiao means is to create a situation where Yuan Shao's people are weak and morale is low, so that it is possible to lure the enemy deeper. Otherwise, if Yuan Shao retreats to the north bank of the Yellow River and sticks to the line of the Yellow River, the battle between us and Hebei will definitely be protracted. Or to put it simply, between us and Yuan Shao, we should make a quick decision, and Yuan Fang should hold it for a long time. In this case, we must show weakness in the early stage, otherwise if we fight a protracted war, we will be defeated if we are not defeated. ”

Xun Yu listened, was silent for a long time, and did not continue to dwell on this issue. (To be continued.) )
