188. The next step of the strategy
It turned out that at this time, Wang Yuyan had already led a large army, with the help of the ships captured in the Rongshui camp, along the Yuzhang River to Yuzhang City to join Zhu Wei. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan made a new plan for the current battle situation in Yuzhang City.
With the help of Zhu Wei's observation of the live broadcast of the game map of the Three Kingdoms, coupled with the analysis of the strength and food data of Zhenrong in the state of war, Wang Yuyan suggested that Zhu Wei should not force Zhenrong too tightly for the time being, and now he can completely drive away the remnants of Zhengrong and move in the direction of Jingzhou or Jiaozhou, which may be more beneficial to Zhu Wei.
Judging from the current situation, although there are still more than 20,000 troops under Zhenrong, the vast majority of them are already the Dharma Protector Army drawn from the Buddhist believers, and the total number of Buddhist soldiers who really belong to the regular army under Zhenrong may be less than 10,000.
Moreover, Zhenrong's military morale is in turmoil, and he is actually not that much of a threat to Zhu Wei.
The most important thing is that there is not much food in Zhu Rong's hands now, so if Zhu Wei's army is allowed to drive Zhu Rong to wander in Yuzhang in the back, maybe Zhu Rong can be allowed to sort out the counties in Yuzhang that Zhu Wei has not actually controlled.
The more chaotic the Rong Rong is in front, then Zhu Wei can harvest a place that is relatively easy to sort out afterwards, just like when the Yellow Turban Army swept all over the Central Plains, it can eliminate those warrior clans and powerful gate lord forces in Yuzhang, which is actually helpful for Zhu Wei to control the real power of Yuzhang in the future.
In addition, driving Zhenrong to Jiaozhou and Jingzhou can also determine the direction for Zhu Wei's next strategy.
Di Rong can still be used as a reason for Zhu Wei to send troops into these realms, and the current situation is a bit of a self-respect for Zhu Wei, and he can even do something in the name of Zhen Rong.
In this way, all kinds of notoriety are pushed to Zhenrong, and Zhu Wei can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and clean up the intertwined relationship between the local sergeant clan and the Haoqiang gate valve in Yuzhang today.
As for what Zhen Rong may re-enlarge, Zhu Wei doesn't have to worry about it.
As Zhu Wei's army becomes stronger and stronger, with a product like Zhu Rong, you really don't need to put it in your eyes, this Zhen Rong is now a dish, and you can eat him when you want to put down chopsticks.
Therefore, according to Wang Yuyan's strategy, it is most advantageous to drive Zhenrong away step by step, but not to launch a general attack on Zhenrong, and let Zhenrong help sort out the place in front.
It's just that where to drive Zhen Rong next, Wang Yuyan has not yet made a decision.
Driving Zhenrong to Jiaozhou, maybe he can take advantage of the situation to let Zhu Wei's power penetrate into Jiaozhou, and although there are local Shibian families in Jiaozhou who control the real power, Jiaozhou is located on the border of the Central Plains, and there are no other powerful forces around to covet it.
Jiaozhou mainly has the seven counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan, and has borders with Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou, so if you enter Jiaozhou, you may have the opportunity to directly attack and plunder Yizhou.
In this way, Zhu Rong was driven into Jiaozhou, and the situation in Jiaozhou was disturbed first, and then Zhu Wei could take the opportunity to control the field in Jiaozhou with the help of the name of the eldest brother's original Jiaozhou assassin Zhu Fu and the name of pursuing Zhenrong.
In this way, Zhu Wei can also control a large piece of land in the rear, so that Zhu Wei's territory can also be greatly expanded.
But there are also disadvantages to this, just like Zhu Wei had considered before, Jiaozhou is partial and the people are in turmoil, especially the two counties of Cangwu and Yulin are the modern mountains of Guangxi, with many small tribes occupying them, which is more difficult to conquer than Jiangdong Shanyue.
Therefore, even if Zhu Wei occupies it, there is not much territory that can really be controlled, that is, some counties that have been developed.
In fact, the vast majority of Jiaozhou is still an undeveloped wilderness and mountains, so it can be said that it is easy to occupy Jiaozhou, but it is not easy to control Jiaozhou.
If Zhu Wei put too much energy on Jiaozhou, he would have the feeling of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and finally lost the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains.
But if Zhu Rong is driven to the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang in Jingzhou, although it can also give Zhu Wei the opportunity to infiltrate the forces into Jingzhou, Jingzhou is Liu Biao's territory after all, and if Liu Biao retains Zhu Rong, then Zhu Wei will be in a dilemma.
If he really continues to pursue Zhenrong in Jingzhou, then he will directly face Liu Biao, and the current Zhu Wei does not have the strength to start a war with Liu Biao for the time being, and this may not be able to get Liu Biao's support.
This is not the time to play a game, Liu Biao does not have many troops.
In reality, if Zhu Wei were to face Liu Biao, Liu Biao, who occupied the nine counties of Jingxiang, could really mobilize an army of more than 100,000 to fight Zhu Wei.
And Liu Biao may be able to control Zhenrong and make Zhenrong a character under Liu Biao's account, just like Jiangxia Huangzu, helping Liu Biao to sit in the southeast of Jingzhou to defend Jiangdong Liu Xuan's snooping on Jingzhou, then Zhu Wei is equivalent to sending manpower to Liu Biao in vain.
So even Wang Yuyan couldn't make up her mind where to drive Zhen Rong away for the time being, of course, now this is still Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan's strategic plan, in fact, Zhen Rong will also have his own plans, and it can't all be as Zhu Wei wants.
However, since a general strategy has been set, Zhu Wei naturally has to pass on the order to Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao in front of them, asking them to slow down, and not to really beat Zhenrong to death with a stick, then these considerations will be empty.
Of course, this time, the strategy of driving Zhen Rong as the precursor and taking the opportunity to lead the troops to recover the entire county and township of Yuzhang is feasible.
Therefore, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan will also personally lead the troops to meet Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao, and then make specific strategic arrangements.
As for Yuzhang City, Zhu Wei handed it over to Mu Lan and Teng Huxiong to sit in the town, and then Zhu Wei left enough grain, grass and materials in Yuzhang City to meet their needs to protect Yuzhang City.
And Zu Lang was sent to Lingyang County to arrange the relocation of the people there to Yuzhang, and after all this was done, he could consider letting Zu Lang return to Jing County to persuade the Jing County Shanyue under his original control to move to Yuzhang.
If you really want to use troops against Jiaozhou, then the Shanyue soldiers under Zulang can also be used as the main force in battle, after all, Jiaozhou is also mountainous, and it is a battlefield suitable for Shanyue soldiers.
For this reason, Zhu Wei made arrangements for the troops under his command, and the more than 10,000 soldiers commanded by Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao over there can be regarded as the most elite troops in Zhu Wei's hands now, and they are naturally the main force of this dispatch.
And with Wang Yuyan leading the troops to Yuzhang City, this brought Zhu Wei the original 6,000 private soldiers of various ethnic groups in Lingyang County, as well as 8,000 new troops directly under Zhu Wei's side, and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers.
In addition, Zhu Wei originally had 2,000 mountain and Vietnamese soldiers, 3,000 people, 3,000 mountain people from Zhongling Mountain in Yuzhang City, plus more than 1,000 mountain soldiers and 2,000 people sent back after Pang Yan defeated the Zhenrong cavalry, adding up to 6,000 soldiers and 5,000 people.
So now Zhu Wei's total strength is about 30,000 after excluding the auxiliaries and people......
