This is also the reason why Jia Xu and Chen Gong are in a hurry to call Li Ziqiang back, now everyone is grabbing territory, if they are late, then they won't even be able to drink much soup, the most important thing now is time!

Li Ziqiang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, your actions are correct, this is indeed a big deal!" What about your opinion and that of Mr. Chen Gong! ”

Jia Xu said solemnly: "Attack Jizhou and Nanzhou, take them in one fell swoop, and occupy the north!" And then attack the Central Plains! ”

Li Ziqiang said in a deep voice: "Are our troops ready?" ”

You know, if you are ready to attack two states at once, and it is a large state, the army must definitely be ready, otherwise when the time comes, how will you occupy the territory?

Jia Xu said solemnly: "Our routine is definitely completely prepared, in addition, I have also requisitioned a new army of 100,000, after these days of training, they have been able to defend the city, and our grain and grass have also prepared 100,000 people for three months!" ”

When Li Ziqiang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his head and said: "Yes, I have a husband, just like Han Gaozu has Zhang Liang!" ”

Jia Xu said loudly: "The general's words are serious! ”

Li Ziqiang laughed and said, "I'm not wrong! Sir, it must have been so long, you should have talked about how to capture Jizhou and Youzhou! ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "General, please look! ”

Jia Xu spread out a map, pointed to Jizhou and said: "General, this Youzhou Mu is Liu Yu, this person is a relative of the Han family, but this person is more than successful, and he is not enterprising enough, so this person is not worried!" ”

"And Yuan Shao of Jizhou is a person who relied on family power to get Jizhou, he has no ability, he is just a gentleman, and the most important thing is that this person is very hypocritical and arrogant! His ego will make him irreversible, and all in all, he is no threat! ”

Li Ziqiang applauded and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Wenhe, the analysis is incisive, yes, Yuan Shao is just an explosive rich, don't worry!" And Liu Yu is too old, he doesn't have the strength to dominate the world, so, Jizhou and Youzhou, I, Li Ziqiang, are going to decide! ”

Li Ziqiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. and Gongtai should have made a battle plan!" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, we have made a battle plan, please take a look at it!" ”

After speaking, Jia Xu pointed to the bamboo slips in the study and said, "General, all the battle plans are here!" ”

Li Ziqiang said directly: "Okay, I won't watch it, you can say it directly!" ”

Jia Xu said in a loud voice: "No, general." General, please look at the map! ”

Jia Xu pointed directly to the map and said: "General, this is Shangdang County, this is Yecheng, our department plans to take Gao Shun as the main general, supplemented by Huang Zhong, and lead an army of 50,000 to attack Yecheng!" This way, Chen Gongtai is a military advisor! ”

"In addition, our army is dominated by generals, leading the Jinfan Division, the Criminal War Division, and the Xiaocai Division, and the three main forces of our army to capture Zhongshan Kingdom!"

"In the end, our army mainly attacked Liu Yu in Youzhou from the prairie, and Liu Yu was caught off guard, and then our army attacked Liu Yu back and forth with the Wuhuan people!"

Li Ziqiang asked: "Sir, are we doing this too scattered in the army?" ”

It's no wonder that Li Ziqiang has such thoughts, you know, the battle in ancient times was not better than now, if it was fought quickly, the battle could be solved in just a few days, the siege war in ancient times was very bleak, to capture a city, often it could not be fought for several months, where would it be like now, the war lasted for more than ten days is a long time!

Let's take Cao*'s attack on Xuzhou as an example, Cao's army is several times stronger than the defenders of Xuzhou, but there is still no movement after several months of attacking! Therefore, Li Ziqiang had to be nervous about this matter!

Jia Xu said lightly: "General, I have a good news that I forgot to tell you!" ”

Li Ziqiang's heart moved and asked, "What is the good news?" ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "General, we have already made the black powder you said!" ”

Li Ziqiang asked anxiously: "Is this true?" ”

Jia Xu said solemnly: "It's true! ”

Li Ziqiang laughed like he was crazy, although he knew that Ouyang Feng should get the black powder out soon, but he didn't expect that he had just left for more than ten days, and the black powder would come out!

This is amazing! That's why Li Ziqiang laughed like this!

Jia Xu didn't bother Li Ziqiang, and after Li Ziqiang finished laughing, Jia Xu said: "General, I paid attention to the firepower of black powder, it's too fierce, it's a sharp weapon for siege!" ”

Li Ziqiang said unexpectedly: "Oh, then how did you use this gunpowder?" ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "There are two uses! One is to wrap up black powder, place it on a stone-throwing cart, set it on fire, and throw it at the enemy! ”

Li Ziqiang looked at Jia Xu with interest and nodded slightly, yes, this is the most primitive cannon!

Li Ziqiang asked in a deep voice: "Then what about another one?" ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Put it at the city gate, and then detonate, the city gate can be broken!" ”

Li Ziqiang exclaimed: "Yes, this plan is feasible!" ”

Li Ziqiang said loudly: "Actually, we still have a way! ”

Jia Xu showed a look of surprise and asked, "General, what else is there, come quickly!" ”

Li Ziqiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

Jia Xu shook his head embarrassedly and said, "General, don't hang the appetite of a certain family, say it!" ”

Li Ziqiang didn't make fun of Jia Xu, but said directly: "Actually, we can also bury the black powder in the ground and detonate it when the enemy passes by!" You can think about what will happen when the time comes. ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, Mom, if this is really the case, then the casualties are really too great!

In fact, what Li Ziqiang said is the prototype of landmines in later generations, it is undeniable that the power of landmines is still very large, even in Li Ziqiang's era, landmines are also a big killer, let alone now!

Of course, the mines are still very primitive, and someone has to light the fuse! Unlike the mines of later generations, there are also all kinds of mines!

Li Ziqiang asked, "Sir, how much black powder do we have now?" ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "After our full production during this time, we have accumulated eight hundred catties of black powder!" ”

Li Ziqiang said in a deep voice: "Eight hundred catties? It should be enough! ”

"In that case, let's follow this plan! You can pass this news to the public station! This should happen sooner rather than later! ”

Jia Xu said respectfully: "No, my subordinates will go and prepare!" ”

Li Ziqiang said: "After so many days of running wildly, I am also tired, so I will rest first, and now the matter will be handled by you!" ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, but, according to my estimate, we will go on the expedition tomorrow, and the Jinfan Division and the Sin War Master should come tomorrow!" ”

Li Ziqiang snorted and said, "Got it, oh, by the way, what about the wolf army?" Why didn't I see what was done for him? ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "General, the wolf army is good at defense, good at it, we will leave it behind, after all, Bingzhou is our lair, and there is no room for loss!" ”

Li Ziqiang thought about it carefully, yes, that's the reason, he didn't want to go out to fight others, the old nest was given to others, and now although Jia Xu and Chen Gong have gathered an army of 100,000, they are new recruits after all! It is impossible for him Li Ziqiang to leave only the recruits to watch the house!

He will at least leave an ace army to rest assured, and now, with the wolf army left, Li Ziqiang can go out with confidence! You must know that the wolf army is not only the first ace army in Qingfeng Mountain, but also the descendant of Li Ziqiang's lineage, anyone can rebel against Li Ziqiang, but the wolf army will not!

Therefore, Li Ziqiang is also very relieved to leave the wolf army, of course, the most important thing is that the wolf army is the most defensive force among these ace legions, as long as the wolf army is stationed here, it is basically foolproof!

It's that someone else has come to fight and merge the state, and Li Ziqiang also firmly believes that the wolf army can hold the city! This is Li Ziqiang's trust in the wolf army!

Li Ziqiang said in a deep voice: "Yes, then you did a good job, okay, go down!" ”

Firmly believed: "No, General! ”

Time passed quickly, a day passed in the blink of an eye, and as Jia Xu expected, early the next morning, someone came to report that Pei Yuanshao's criminal war division and Gan Ning's Jinfan division were coming!

At noon that day, Li Ziqiang had a meal with a group of generals, and assigned tasks by the way!

In the afternoon, he sharpened his self-improvement and went out with the army, no way, time waits for no one, he has to set off early, and the sooner he defeats Jizhou and Youzhou, Li Ziqiang will also be at ease earlier!

Of course, the most important thing is that after conquering Jizhou and Youzhou, Li Ziqiang has the absolute strength to dominate the world! Of course, it takes time to recuperate!

However, Li Ziqiang dared to pack a ticket, with his mind, relying on the resources of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, he will soon have the strength to conquer the whole world!

It is not only people who fight wars, but also national strength! Let's take the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period as an example, why was the Qin State able to defeat six countries with one enemy, and finally destroy the six countries?

It is because the national strength of the Qin State is the strongest! In history, the Qin State was given the position of a prince by Zhou Tianzi by protecting Zhou Tianzi's eastward crossing!

However, at the beginning, the Qin State was the weakest among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and even the Yan State was stronger than the Qin State! Why is that? Is it because the people of the Qin State are weak?

No, the situation is quite the opposite, the people of the Qin State are definitely not afraid of war! Even if they die, they will fight to the death! However, why would such a country still suffer defeat after defeat?

This is because his national strength is too weak, take Wei as an example! People eat the best food and wear the best armor, but in the Qin State, people can't eat enough, let alone those armors!

This is the gap in national strength, you can't eat enough, what else are you talking about defending your home and defending the country? That's all! You don't have a good weapon, what do you rely on to fight with others, rely on human life? What's the use of that, isn't it still a losing word to continue playing like this?

Therefore, it is not only people who rely on fighting wars, but also national strength is quite important! The national strength is weak, no matter how brave and good you are, you basically can't beat others!

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, why did Cao Wei unify the world in the end, instead of Shu with Zhuge Liang to unify the world? In the final analysis, the national strength of Shu is too weak!

Although, Zhuge Liang's starting point is good, in order to unify China, he made six Northern Expeditions, and in the end he even died on the battlefield! He can be said to have done his best to die! I have to say, he is an admirable person! But is it right or wrong for him to do so?

I think he's wrong, one could even say he's a selfish person! Because he not only did not conquer the world, but also greatly reduced the national strength of Shu! He laid a solid foundation for the final demise of Shu, and it can be said that he made an indelible contribution to the unification of China!

Of course, the object of this contribution is the state of Wei, not the state of Shu!

Why is that? First of all, the state of Wei occupied the whole of northern China and occupied most of the territory of China! And what about Shu? She only occupies the southwestern part of China, and the territory is not very good, only one Han River Plain can produce grain!

Therefore, congenitally, Shu occupies an absolute disadvantage, and looking at the population, the population of Wei is several times that of Shu! The potential is huge!

Let's talk about the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang basically after every Northern Expedition, Shu will be greatly injured, and it can be seen from the number of troops in each Northern Expedition! There is a negative correlation between the number of her troops, which means that the next Northern Expedition will have fewer troops than the previous Northern Expedition!

And what were the consequences of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition? The fewer people fought, the weaker the national strength became, and after the last Northern Expedition, the entire Shu Kingdom had a total of less than 100,000 standing troops!

Moreover, among them, there are tens of thousands of troops in Tuntian! From here, it can be seen how weak the national strength of Shu is!

And all this was caused by Zhuge Liang! If Zhuge Liang didn't have the Northern Expedition, but was at ease with state affairs, maybe who would rule the world in the end!

Of course, the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed, and everyone blamed Liu Chan for this matter, and Zhuge Liang became a famous minister through the ages! However, is Zhuge Liang really that good?

It can be seen from this how important national strength is, so as long as Li Ziqiang lays down these two places, you Li Ziqiang will have enough talent to rule these two places and pave the way for him to sweep the world!

However, the news of Li Ziqiang's dispatch of troops was immediately spread, because Li Ziqiang is also a warlord who is not big or small, although he is not as big as the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban thieves, but he can't stand the elite of other people's troops!

Even the elite Han Forbidden Army was also beaten down, so his combat effectiveness is beyond doubt!

And now is the time for the warlords in the world to fight, of course everyone will pay attention to Li Ziqiang, especially close to the state! For example, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, Zhang Yan in Chongzhou and others, they are particularly concerned about Li Ziqiang's actions!

When Yuan Shao knew that Li Ziqiang was leading the army towards him, Yuan Shao's whole person was angry!
