『Chapter error, click here to report』
As the so-called account is not afraid of recalculation, Lu Peng just calculated the account of his own strength comparison with Cao Cao for everyone, and finally let everyone understand one thing, from now on, the main factor that determines the outcome of the war is no longer the number of people, but in the sophistication of equipment, but in the output of steel, but the abundance of money and grain, which is the result of a lot of various advantages mixed together, so that everyone now has no psychological burden on the million army of Cao Cao opposite, defeat him, It's just a matter of time.
At this time, Tian Feng stood up and began to express his opinions. Since the lord compares the world's poisoners with himself, he must reflect the length of his own views with that poisoner, and show his differences.
"Jia Xu, this time he was clever and mistaken, he made a stupid move that made Cao Cao go to death."
Lu Peng and the others asked seriously at that time: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Tian Feng said proudly: "Jia Xu this time Cao Cao's Sili and the northern part of Yanzhou, in the name of driving the people to increase our burden, in fact, almost all the grain and grass in the north were looted, according to the Jinyi Wei report, no less than a million stones, this strategy is very good, very good." ”
Everyone wondered, "Isn't this good?" In this way, he will no longer have to worry about food and grass in the decisive battle with us. ”
One of the reasons is that he scavenged all the grain and grass north of the Yellow River, which is more than one million, but this is a way to kill chickens and eggs, these grains and grasses are only enough for their army for 3 to 4 months, and once they eat and drink, they are thinking about collecting grain on the spot, so their grain and grass can only be collected in various places south of the Yellow River, and then transported thousands of miles away, the consumption is huge, It is unimaginable and unbearable, on this thousands of miles of transportation line, as long as our generals continue to harass them, they will be in a desperate situation. ”
Xu Shu clapped his hands: "Sun Miao's old general's sailor, facing Cao Cao's pediatric-like sailor, it is simply a crushing trend, once they cut off the Yellow River, I want to see how long Cao Cao can hold out by drinking the northwest wind?" ”
Of course, Tian Feng can't let Xu Shu say all his thoughts, "So what we have to do now is to continue to strengthen and strengthen the passes of Wulong Pass, and make these two passes into an iron tortoise shell, we will sit here and fight Cao Cao, and it will take him four or five months, and then we will wait for him to run out of food and grass and the army will be in turmoil, and then attack in one fell swoop, and leave all his million army here, as long as his million army is left, Qingyan Xu Si and Yuzhou, and there is no soldier, it is in our bag." ”
This is really not to say that the casserole is not broken or broken, after everyone's nonsense calculations, in this battle of winning more with less, Lu Peng has at least eighty percent chance of winning.
Lu Peng slammed his fist on the rough table: "Now I have decided that in addition to leaving thirty or forty thousand soldiers on guard, all the soldiers will join in the work of building the city, fully cooperate with 200,000 people, and in the shortest possible time, build this Wulong Pass into an impenetrable turtle shell, let's squat here, and Cao Cao will spend it." ”
Everyone immediately responded happily, but Zaba smacked his mouth and still felt a little wrong, these five dragon views are turtle shells, so what are these people? That's not a good analogy.
Putting it aside first, prepare for a war of attrition with Cao Cao, and still need to be fully prepared for a sit-down war in the future.
So, 100,000 soldiers and 200,000 people, with a sufficient supply of money and food, the Lu Jiajun began a crazy construction turtle shell movement, which was really full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
He is desperately building turtle shells here, and Cao Cao is not idle there, and he is also making crazy preparations, because everyone knows that this time, this big battle will be related to who will finally stand on the highest peak of this Central Plains land in the future.
Now Heyang has become a large barracks, the city that was originally burned to the ground by Lu Peng is now stuffed with countless tents, and the people walking on the streets are not businessmen and ordinary people, all are hurried troops, and the sound of drill trumpets rises and falls one after another every day, announcing to everyone that Cao's army is stepping up preparations for war.
Looking at Jia Xu's report, Cao Cao expressed satisfaction on the one hand, but lamented the pain on the other.
Jia Xu's strategy was good, and after driving all the nearly two million people north of the Yellow River into Lü Peng's territory, Lü Peng added huge pressure to the displaced people.
Two million refugees, they all have to eat and drink, even if Youzhou has a deep family background, even if Lu Peng has three heads and six arms to face so many refugees, he will be helpless.
In this way, these people who are not well resettled will add countless uncertain security factors to his rear, and once Lu Peng is not well resettled, those people who have just entered Lu Peng's territory will have conflicts with the local people, and will accumulate hatred with the local people. Then your chances of winning are several times greater.
Another point, that is, in this way, the nearby collection of millions of stone of grain, as well as the innumerable amount of silver, this is the most fundamental need of the war, because with these money and grain, their army no longer has to transport grain and grass from the core, at least within four months, not only to reduce the huge transportation consumption, the most important thing is that they have so much money, they can calmly follow Lu Peng's method, through the method of merchant purchase, continue to obtain a steady stream of grain and grass materials.
But Cao Cao's heart was sad that after this raid, in fact, there was no need for Lu Peng to fight, and the north of the Yellow River was destroyed by himself into a white land, and the loss was huge and immeasurable.
This is really to cut the flesh and mend the sores, kill the chicken and take the eggs.
And there is another crucial reason, that is, the will of the people and the people of the family of scholars.
Because of the forced eviction of the people, hundreds of people's families were destroyed, and now Cao Cao's prestige at this time has been reduced to the freezing point. And because of the robbery and slashing of the clans in the vast area north of the Yellow River, in the eyes of the clans, Cao Cao is no longer the best candidate for their full support, because they finally see Cao Cao's true face, he is not the spokesperson of the clan in this era, in Cao Cao's heart, the clan is still just an object to be taken and taken. In this comparison, it seems that Lu Peng is still good to the family, as long as you don't go against his wishes and follow his rules, not only can you still live well, but even live better, you don't see that the Bohai Gao family, which is also north of the Yellow River, now in Lu Peng's grassland, has a thousand miles of land territory, has a whole set of its own bureaucratic management system, and is already a real prince with no name.
Therefore, Cao Cao has gained and lost this time, but he has come to this point, what else can he do? Let's go for it.
