The arms race of the Han Dynasty is still going on lively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And it happened to be winter at this time, although the weather was not as cold as it was, but there was no trace of winter cold near Zuo Fengyi's Pinyang City.

Since half a month ago, an army has come from near Pinyang City, and after they came, they immediately set up a formation, a training formation! That's right, they are the Tianxiang Army and Tianrui Army that Cao De just recruited.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more troops being trained, while spring is not yet coming. It's just that they don't belong to Cao De!

When Tianxiang Army and Tianrui Army were busy training, Cao De was not idle. Taking advantage of the approaching New Year, Jia Xu was also recruited to Chang'an by Cao De.

After everyone spent the New Year happily in Chang'an, it was time to get down to business.

There were not many people attending this meeting, only Cao De, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it will be a matter of life and death for us. Now, we are facing the joint conquest of the princes of the world, although we occupy the geographical advantage, but the victory or defeat of the war is not so simple. I don't know what you can do to break the enemy! Cao De looked at the crowd and asked as he lit the table.

"Qi Yu Lord, there is the Yellow River in the north of the Lord; There are Hangu Pass and Qingni Pass; There is Shu Road in the south, and if the allies convened by Liu Bei want to easily smash the inside of the lord, it will be as difficult as ascending to the sky! Xiahou Yuan said with an indifferent face.

"That's true, the lord only needs to send a part of the elite soldiers to guard the dangerous places mentioned by General Xiahou, the lord is sitting in Chang'an, and my lord is worry-free!" Jia Xu shook the fan in his hand and said with a smile.

"Listen to the gentleman's voice, it seems that there is something in the words!" Xiahou Yuan thought about it carefully, and always felt that there was something else in Jia Xu's voice, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't grasp the point!

"Dare to ask General Xiahou, how many infantry troops and cavalry are there in the lord's soldiers!" Jia Xu asked Xiahou Yuan rhetorically.

"170,000 infantry troops, 140,000 cavalry troops!" Xiahou Yuan said without thinking.

"To defend the locations mentioned by General Xiahou, how many soldiers and horses does General Xiahou need?" At this time, Guo Jia walked out and asked Xiahou Yuan.

"On the west bank of the river in the north, there is only one river danger here, and it is enough to have a central guard battalion, an avant-garde battalion, a rear guard battalion and a white tiger to ride; Hangu Pass and Tongguan only need one battalion of infantry troops; The Qingni Pass also does not need too many soldiers and horses; As for the land of Fangling and Bajun, it is more than enough for the Five Elements Camp! After thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan slowly said his deployment.

"General Xiahou, you are not a member of the general. That's all there is to it! However, General Xiahou only used 130,000 troops, and the remaining 180,000 troops, should the general stay in the rear and shout and cheer? "Jia Xu, as the patriarch of Cao De Group, is also very familiar with Xiahou Yuan, so his tone is not so respectful! However, Xiahou Yuan didn't care about these at all.

Subsequently, Jia Xu asked Cao Ren again: "General Cao, can you understand the meaning of the old man?" ”

"I can probably guess one or two!" Cao Ren thought about it and said with his fists clenched.

"General Zhao?" Jia Xu asked Zhao Yun again.

"The last general understands a little!" Zhao Yun also said with a fist.

"Hehe......," Jia Xu heard this, turned around and arched his hand to Cao De, and said, "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

"Oh, how happy am I?" Cao De was stunned for a moment, why did Jia Xu suddenly congratulate me.

"The Lord's policy, General Zhao is enough! If it is combined with General Lu Bulu, General Zhou Cangzhou and General Zang Ba Zang, the lord can let go of his hands and feet! Jia Xu pointed at four people in a row, but this sentence should have the mystery of 'can only be understood but not spoken'!

When Cao De heard this, he laughed, "Wenhe is really a roundworm in my stomach!" However, Wenhe should not say it too early! Let's take a look at this letter first! ”

Cao De said, took out a piece of cloth brocade from the table, and handed it to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu gently turned the fan in his hand, dragged Bu Jin, flipped his left hand, and Bu Jin was displayed in front of Jia Xu's eyes.

After five breaths, Jia Xu's brows first furrowed, and then he laughed, "This is a godsend!" Lord! ”

It's good that Jia Xu didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, everyone was even more surprised. What could make Jia Xu so happy.

Cao De looked at everyone's strange expressions and made a gesture of please. Jia Xu nodded and handed the cloth brocade in his hand to Xu Shu beside him.

Soon Bu Jin turned around in everyone's hands and returned to Cao De's table!

At this time, Xu Shu asked, "Lord, can this letter be authentic?" ”

Cao De nodded lightly, "He's really fateful." The soldiers were in chaos back then, and they actually ran back. ”

"This person's wolf ambition is coming back, the lord has to guard against it, he must be careful!" Xu Shu said with some concern.

"It's okay, I didn't scare him in the first place, but now he has lost the prestige of the past, what am I afraid of!" Cao De said disapprerovingly.

"Your lord, no! This person is just a thug on the frontier, and it is no accident that he can have the power of the past. Now he is lying on his back and trying his courage, not only to guard against it, but also to guard against it! Guo Jia came out of the ranks, and his face was also not very good-looking.

"Okay, don't talk about him. Let's discuss how to break the enemy in this situation! Cao De stopped the group from continuing to discuss the letter, and again the topic was brought back.

It has just passed the New Year, and there are still seven months before the date of dispatch of troops that Yuan Shao said, so it is a bit early to start discussing the troops now.

There is a cloud in the book of war, "the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth", and as the saying goes, "the plan is not as big as the change", is it too early to make a plan.

Not really. You must know that when Liu Bei proposed to ask for a thief's article, it was in August last year. At that time, the world had just been quiet for a short time.

Not long after Yuan Shaogang took Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu also experienced a big defeat in Fanglinggang, Cao Cao was still unstable in Yanzhou, Liu Bei had just mastered Xuzhou not long ago, and Liu Biao and the Sun family had just stopped fighting. Cao De also just took Liangzhou and Chang'an not long ago, and Cao De also had a fight with the plague.

It can be said that now everyone has been tired for a year and needs to take a break. A soldier is not a machine, and a man is not a robot. You can't keep your energy up for a long time. Therefore, Yuan Shao proposed to send troops next year.

And, it's not all.

Now what the whole Han lacks most is not money, not people, and not knives, but food.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first!" There is no food to fight. If the soldier can't eat enough, let alone fight the enemy, he will definitely bloom in the nest first.

Now among the princes of the entire Han Dynasty, except for Cao De, who has surplus grain, all the rest have to collect this year's tax grain before they can go on the expedition. It's not that they don't have food, but because just in case.

For example, Cao De went to beat Liu Biao, Cao De had 600,000 quintals of grain in his granary, and he scraped together 800,000 quintals and set off. As a result, most of it was burned by Liu Biao. What do you say Cao De should do. And if there is new grain this year, and the old grain is burned, it doesn't matter, I will just bring it again.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are afraid, but Cao De is not afraid. Twelve years ago, Cao De began to implement the tuntian system and build the Corps (formerly the labor camp). Cao De's food is not ordinary.

If it is not counted as new grain, the grain in Cao De's granary is enough for Cao De's 310,000 troops to eat for five or six years.

Therefore, no matter when there is a war, Cao De is not afraid!
