There are more military horses on the Jiangdong side, Sun Cejun, Liu Xuan's army, as well as Ganning's naval army and Jiaozhou's military horses. Of course, the military horses of Jiaozhou also had to participate in the defense of the southern barbarian tribes, so Chen Bing would not go to the Central Plains to participate in the final decisive battle in the Guilin area.

Gan Ning will return from Nanyang and send troops from Qu'a, mainly responsible for providing support for the various military horses of the New Han Army from the waterway, transporting food, etc., or can directly land from Zhuzhou and cooperate with the northern army to seize Xuzhou and other places.

In this way, the military horses of Jiangdong add up to millions of troops, they are the main force to seize Yangzhou and Yuzhou, if the military horses of all walks of life advance smoothly as planned and progress smoothly, then, the last 3 million troops will join forces in Xudu, with the momentum of the army to press the border, coercing Cao Cao, when the time comes, whether to fight or surrender, it depends on how Cao Cao thinks.

In fact, with the current strength of the New Han Dynasty, if all the people are really soldiers, the young and strong division can definitely form an army of more than five million, but not everyone is willing to join the army and go to the battlefield. If the whole people really went to the battlefield, then the new Han Dynasty would be supported for less than half a year, and the entire economy would collapse.

In normal times, the self-defense forces are actually militias that are gathered for some simple training when the farmers are busy and when the farmers are slack. Only the cunning people in the militia will be selected as local officers and soldiers, that is, they may become soldiers in the official establishment of the New Han Army. This, when the New Han Army is required to replenish its troops, or when the New Army is formed. Only then did these officers and soldiers have the opportunity to become official soldiers of the New Han Army.

But in fact, in the New Han Dynasty. The soldiers of the new Han Army, which are officially established, can be become. It's a very honorable thing. The young and strong people in many places all take becoming a new Han army as their goal in life.

To mention again, the reason why the New Han Dynasty was able to fight all year round, but still did not affect its own production and development, is because the New Han army fought wars, almost all of them won battles, and the loss of generals on the battlefield was very small, and they generally won the final victory at the cost of the least casualties. In this way, among the New Han Army. There are very few times when a large number of soldiers are really replenished, and occasionally, some new recruits will be selected in the locality, and the people want to sharpen their heads and drill into the army.

On the other hand, if an army always loses battles, every time it finishes a battle, it loses a lot. Such an army must be conscripted frequently. If there are many deaths, there will be more recruitment. If it goes on like this, who still wants to join the army?

It is precisely because the New Han Army basically does not need to replenish its forces from the sphere of influence it governs, so that the New Han Dynasty can remain the same for ten years. It not only maintains the vitality of production, but also can continue to fight on all sides.

These are where Liu Yi's confidence lies.

Let's be honest. Suppose Cao Cao adopted the poisonous plan that Sima Hui said. Divide his military horses into dozens of roads. Wandering into the territory of the New Han Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, mainly to engage in sabotage, forcing the New Han army to be unable to launch an attack on Xudu's plan. I'm afraid that in the end, it didn't work out as Cao Cao wanted.

After all, the New Han Dynasty could be a soldier at any time. Every city, every village and town, has a local self-defense force, and in many places, some fortresses are being built to protect the base of Dazepo. Well, the current New Han Dynasty is really too many captured enemy soldiers, the Xiongnu tribe, the Wuhuan tribe, and other princes, etc., these captured enemy soldiers, the New Han Army will not let them go for no reason, because the New Han Army has some food, some are soldiers, and they are imprisoned and used as labor, so that the New Han Dynasty has always had more than one million laborers, and these laborers are often transferred to build cities everywhere, or engage in production or something. Anyway, it is better to treat it as waste utilization, let them be fed and clothed, and work as coolies for the New Han Dynasty.

Only after the reunification of the Han Dynasty can these coolies be judged by their performance, and only if they perform well can they get rid of their status as servitude, restore their freedom, and arrange their future life and work. Because this kind of labor is not permanent, most of them will be very honest and work hard to do the things arranged by the New Han Dynasty government. Under normal circumstances, there are no labor riots, and those who occasionally escape will be quickly arrested, and occasionally some heavy punishment can also greatly deter those laborers.

But think about it, these laborers, they usually have a difficult life, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking except for labor, so under normal circumstances, they don't need to riot.

In this way, such as Youzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places, after the recovery of the New Han Dynasty, while arranging the life and labor affairs of the local people, while constantly building and improving their town walls for various places, etc., therefore, if Cao Cao's army and horses were really divided into 20,000 or 30,000 horses and an army to enter these states to destroy them, they were afraid that they would be hit by a broken head.

To give a more detailed example, in the Jizhou area, because after Yuan Shao fought with Cao Cao, there were very few local men, and most of them were women. In a village of about 300 or 400 people, only 30 or 40 people may be young and strong men. It's about 10 to 1. However, because Jizhou did not relax its vigilance after the takeover of the New Han Dynasty, and was often in a state of war readiness, the government sent people to build some small fortresses like fortresses in these villages. A small fortress, guarded by thirty or forty men, with the help of some young women, was enough to withstand a wave of invading enemies.

The enemy army that came to attack the small fortress, no matter how many men and horses, but in the end, only a part of them came forward to attack, and they did not pay ten times the price of the fortress, and they could not hope to attack it. Because the weapons eliminated by the generals of the New Han Army will be distributed to the people of these villages for use, ensuring that they have a lot of sharp weapons such as bows and arrows.

Of course, all this is hypothetical, when it really comes to attack Cao Cao's military horses, from the very beginning, Cao Cao's military horses will be discovered, and then. Everywhere there were beacons of warning, officers and soldiers in those places. There will also be news soon, when the time comes. Local officers and soldiers or the military horses of the New Han Army will also quickly come to support.

In general, it was really not easy for Cao Cao to go to the New Han Dynasty's sphere of influence to wreak havoc. When Sima Hui offered this plan for Cao Cao, he actually didn't know what the situation was like in the places under the rule of the New Han Dynasty. Fortunately, Cao Cao did not adopt this plan, otherwise he would really die an ugly death.

In other words, now that the Han Dynasty has reached this time, the unification of the New Han Dynasty has become irreversible. It just depends on what Cao Cao can struggle with.

Liu Yi and a group of military advisors and generals. In the court, it was discussed how many military horses from various factions should be dispatched, and how to advance from their current military horse garrison to the established attack site. Every military horse, they have a logistics supply point, from this point, where to attack, these people, each of them must understand each other.

First of all, the weapons and food of Gongsun Du's army will be in charge of Gan Ning's navy. When the time comes, Liu Yi will ask Gan Ning to directly send a fleet to the coast all the way to Bohai Bay. He will assist Gongsun Du to seize a landing point on the Shandong Peninsula and temporarily set it as the county seat of Muping. After the capture of Muping County, Shandong. Based on this, the army will be waved to attack Penglai, Huangxian, Donglai and other places, and force Qingzhou Beihai.

Secondly, Gongsun Zhanjun. Naturally, it is based on Bohai City, and his supply. The New Han Dynasty will be transported to Bohai City. Then Gongsun Chan will break through the Yellow River from Leling and Nanpi counties and march eastward. Kill to Le'an, Zhangqiu, Taishan, attack Linzi, and Gongsun Dujun in Qingzhou Beihai. In this way, Yuan Shang will live to the end.

The destruction of Yuan Shang is the first step of the Gongsun Army of the Two Roads, and the route of how to march.

Taishi Ci's army, then divided the army, with Yecheng as the base point, from Gaotang, Huaxian, Yangping, Liyang, Pingqiu, Jibei, Puyang, Baima, Yanjin, Wuchao and other places of the north bank of the Yellow River, launched an attack on the south bank of the Yellow River.

After all, Cao Cao has been working hard for more than ten years on the southern line along the Yellow River, and every time he can cross the crossing point to the south of the Yellow River, he is heavily guarded by Cao Cao. If the New Han Army wants to cross the river to fight, I am afraid that it will not be easy. When the time comes, it will depend on at what point you can break through. Anyway, Tai Shici's battle plan was to break through the Yellow River as the first step. If there is really no way, then you can only cross the Yellow River from the Yellow River estuary area with Gongsun Zhan, and then attack all the way west along the south bank of the Yellow River. But if this is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill Xu Du in a short period of time.

The mid-lane army will also face a situation where it may not be able to break through the defense and force Xu Du for a while. After all, it was a bit difficult for Cao Cao to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, but if the New Han Army wanted to get out of the Tiger Prison, it would also face all kinds of difficulties when it marched into Xudu.

However, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is the military horses of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, they are the real main force of the attack, because once Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou are captured. Cao Cao was really surrounded by Xu Du. It is also impossible for him to be in the area where Chen's army was along the Yellow River and before the Tiger Pass. must return to the capital of Xudu, according to the city to defend the death.

The Xinhan army and horses on the Jingzhou side and the Jiangdong side had the most extensive combat area, and there were many offensive routes. But the most important thing is to capture Xiangcheng, Runan, and Yangzhou, as long as the New Han Army can capture these cities, then it means that the entire Yuzhou and Yangzhou are under the control of the New Han Army. Cao Cao's military horses had to retreat to the Yingchuan area in a hurry. In fact, if the New Han army launched an attack on Cao Cao, Cao Cao's military horses in Yuzhou and Yangzhou would probably be chaotic, and it was very likely that they would take the initiative to retreat and give Yuzhou to the New Han army.

In fact, in history, every war, the land of Yuzhou is the easiest to fall, the land of a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and, to tell the truth, the folk customs of Yuzhou are not strong, the local people, the temperament is relatively weak, so, in the strategic location is not too good, it will always become an area that is abandoned. (Friends who are interested in this can study and study, the heart of the Chinese rooster is the most vulnerable place, the place where Lao Jiang flooded during the Anti-Japanese War...... ）

It was initially decided that Qin Jie, Chen Dao, and Wei Yan would lead their headquarters to attack Xiangcheng, which was also Qin Jie's long-cherished wish, and he had been guarding Wancheng for so long, just waiting for the day when Xiangcheng was captured.

Guan Yu will lead his army from Xiangyang, first seize the Xinye area on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, and then march to Runan.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao will send troops to Jiangling, cross the river to kill Jingling, and attack the central belt of Yuzhou. With the cooperation of Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I believe that Cao Jun in the Yuzhou region will be able to cry and call his mother.

Huang Zhong's father and son did not want to miss the decisive battle in the Central Plains, they asked Liu Yi for their life together, and finally sent Cao Yin to Lujin Pass in the south to replace them in commanding the army. Together, the two fathers and sons led more than 100,000 troops and horses to attack the Sanjiangkou on the north bank of the Yangtze River from Jiangxia, and then attacked south along the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Liu Xiang divided their troops into three routes, and Liu Miao led the army south along the Yangtze River from Jianye City, and cooperated with Qu'a's defenders to attack Jiangdu. Sun Ce directly led the main army to attack Yangzhou along the Hongze Huze area, while Zhou Yu led another army north along the Yangtze River to kill his hometown of Lujiang and Chaohu areas.

In addition to being responsible for transporting supplies for various routes or transporting military horses with a fleet of naval vessels, Gan Ning could also set off directly by sea to attack Xiapi City in Xuzhou, depending on the situation.

A month later, each army and horse will attack on time and complete the first step of their respective battle plan. Then each army looked at the situation and marched to Xudu in the Central Plains respectively, and the army met under the city of Xudu.

Every general has clearly defined his combat mission and action plan. After figuring it out, Liu Yi gave them a few days off, first relaxed in Luoyang for a few days, and then went back to prepare for battle.

The battle order was also quickly conveyed to all functional parts of the New Han Dynasty, and in a very short period of time, the entire New Han Dynasty was shaken, and immediately began to act step by step, which seemed to be in full swing, and everyone was running and working hard for this final decisive battle, hoping that after this war, there would be no civil war in the Han Dynasty.

A few days later, Hua Xin returned to Xudu dejectedly and reported his experiences in the New Han Dynasty to Cao Cao.

After listening to Hua Xin's report, Cao Cao did not reproach Hua Xin, but waved him away in an extremely unhappy mood.

Cao Cao didn't expect that the New Han Dynasty was even unwilling to talk to him? Isn't this bullying?

Surrender to the New Han Dynasty? Cao Cao really didn't think of such a possibility, as soon as he thought that he would have to pay tribute to Liu Yifu when the time came, he felt humiliated in his heart, which was absolutely impossible.

Since we can't talk about it, then we have to fight.

Cao Cao's heart was also secretly determined that he must not lose to Liu Yi in momentum. (To be continued.) )
