Chapter Ninety-Seven: Faith

Gu Lu's way of using soldiers is not exactly the same as his martial arts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Wind Knife Frost Sword is a martial art that embraces all moves in the world and exhausts all changes, so when he fights with others, even if the opponent's martial arts are higher, stronger, and more subtle, he can create moves on the spot, bring forth the new, and defeat the opponent.

Fighting with soldiers, he first sought the word "stability". When the situation is not right, when the enemy's situation is unknown, when the enemy is outnumbered, when the weather is bad, when the terrain is bad, when the ....... In short, try not to fight battles that you can't win.

He admired Sima Yi's words very much, "The way of using soldiers, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will defend." If you can't go, if you can't go, you will fall, and if you can't go, you will die."

Before going to war, he always had to be prepared. Externally, it is necessary to spy on intelligence and survey geography. Internally, it is necessary to train soldiers and repair armor. When the time comes, he will send troops.

Once he is ill, his behavior can be described as "impermanence and amorphous water". Different methods should be used against different enemies. But there is one thing in common, that is, "soldiers are expensive and fast are not expensive for a long time".

It is better to deal with the enemy quickly than to get bogged down in war. Before starting a war, you must know the conditions for ending the war, know where your termination line is, and figure out what your strategic goals are. After reaching the biggest strategic goal, even if there is a big advantage in front of you, you can't do it, don't take advantage of it.

Otherwise, it will consume your own vitality in an endless war. In a certain universe, at the beginning of World War II, the strategic posture of the Japanese was not good. Looking around, it's all the direction they can use their troops.

Whether it is to continue to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance (in fact, it can no longer be maintained, the Americans hate this alliance and say that they will dismantle it), or to be a thug of the Americans, or simply to be a dog leg of the Soviets, it is better than when they later went to war on all sides and all the surrounding powers fought over and over again.

It's good to talk about this kind of thing, and if you really do it, it's a hole in your head.

Therefore, this time to send troops, Gu Lu set the minimum strategic goal and the highest strategic goal. The lowest strategic goal was to repel Liu Bei's army and inflict heavy damage on his own troops and horses, so that they could no longer pose a threat to Qingzhou. The highest goal is to enter the North Sea and expel or capture Kong Rong.

In his goal, neither the lowest nor the highest, there is no content to annex the Guanhai Department. His previous act of annexing the Yellow Turban Army and relying on force has already caused a great backlash. The best way to deal with these golden remnants is to start economically and politically with the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

For Liu Bei's troops, it would be best to be able to destroy them, but this estimate was very difficult. Because these generals in Liu Bei's army are all outstanding in martial arts. And they relied on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other senior generals to support them. As long as these people don't die, even if the whole army is wiped out, they can quickly make a comeback.

Just like Cao Cao and his brothers, it is nothing to lose troops and generals, as long as the big boss Cao Cao is still there, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chunyu are still there, recruit a group of troops again, and then train them into elite soldiers, it will only take a few months.

Therefore, it is okay to severely damage Liu Bei's troops and then expel them.

Thanks to the perfect mobilization system, Gu Lu quickly gathered a force of 15,000 people. Among them, he had 10,000 people in his headquarters, and the other generals had a total of 3,000 or 4,000 people, and the rest were recruited wandering warriors and some warriors among the barbarians.

Of these 10,000 people, the armor rate is more than forty percent. He led 6,000 by himself, and the rest of the army was assigned to He Yi, Pei Yuanshao, Sun Zhong, Le Zhuo, Zou Mao and other generals, and Zhou Cang was left behind by him to guard the base camp.

In this world where unparalleled generals are rampant, the armies directly led by the generals can enjoy a certain degree of gain. Those soldiers who are enveloped by their premises will become more powerful and have better stamina......

Gu Lu tried, and now he can bring up to 15,000 soldiers. If you have more, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits he brings. In other words, he alone can command all the troops brought out this time. But he still assigned it to the generals, so that he was not alone in the power.

There are many reasons for this, one is that he did not completely deprive the generals of their own troops. Those pro-army troops and the like do have combat effectiveness far beyond ordinary armies, so it's a pity to cut them out like this.

Another reason is that only generals who personally lead troops to fight have the opportunity to grow in battle. His gaze was not limited to such a small place as Qingzhou. Even the entire Han Kingdom, in his opinion, is only a small part of the world.

Since he is not a narrow-minded person, he naturally needs to train stronger generals and civil servants to help him. War is the best place to train these people.

The army of tens of thousands was divided into three roads, two of which attacked Liu Beijun's camp from the side, and the one led by Pei Yuanshao was far away, wanting to copy it from behind.

Gu Lu, as the strongest general on his side, would naturally appear at the forefront of the entire army.

In front of him was the outermost camp placed by Liu Beijun. On top of the camp near the water, there is a big banner. On the flag, there is a big "Bian" character written on it.

The guard's name is Bian Xi, and he is a member of the Beihai general. Force, commander-in-chief, intelligence have nothing to pay special attention to. Bian Xi led only more than 300 people. After seeing the appearance of unknown enemy troops, Bian Xi quickly made a decision.

He withdrew all his troops and cowered into the camp. At the same time, he also tried to send a few soldiers with good riding skills to the rear, hoping to send back the news of the enemy attack. It's a pity that these soldiers were ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army, who had already made a detour behind them, before rushing out of the United States.

Bian Xi's decision was right, he had such an army, and in the field, it was estimated that he would not even be able to hold out for a round. If you stick to the camp, maybe there will be a glimmer of life. Even if the news is cut off, however, when there is no news in the war, it is still a kind of news, and it is often the most dangerous one.

Liu Bei has experienced a hundred battles, he used to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and later fought with Yuan Shao. As long as he knew that there had been no news from here for several days, then he would naturally know that something was wrong.

He was very confident in Liu Bei, because he had seen how the thousands of elite soldiers led by Liu Bei drove away Guan Hai's tens of thousands of troops under Beihai City.

The problem is, he doesn't have much confidence in himself. (To be continued.) )
