Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fang Qiao, Foundation
Fang Qiao, the word Xuanling, the commander: ?? Martial art:?? , Strategy: 97, Strategy: 99+
"Tut-tut" Liu Xiu looked at the name and was excited, he was a big celebrity, and he was also a powerful person.
Looking at the introduction, Liu Xiu kept searching for the information he had seen in his previous life:
This Fang Xuanling is the founding minister of the Tang Dynasty, a famous minister, and the person who has lived in the early Tang Dynasty for the longest time. It is known as "Xiao He of the Han Dynasty".
The more Liu Xiu looked, the happier he became: Now this has become his own 'Xiao He', and his political ability is definitely not inferior to that of 'Wang Zuozhicai' Xun Yu, who may be a step worse than the top in the world in terms of strategy, but his vision is accurate and far-reaching, but it is known as 'one word can break the world'
Liu Xiu looked at the elegant scribe in his thirties in front of him, and suddenly felt a burst of arrogance in his heart, looking at the talents under his command now, although the quantity is still poor, but the quality is definitely not inferior to any prince in the world.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiu began to summon his advisers and generals, although he has now occupied all the four counties of Jingnan, but all the military and political affairs in the four counties have not been properly handled, especially his current identity is only a rebel vanguard general from Liu Biao, he is simply a ragtag general in name only, if it were not for the ruffians allocated by Cai Mao who were subdued by him, and the strong soldiers of Beifu who trained him, even if he captured the four counties now, I am afraid it would only be a wedding dress for others.
After all the civil and military forces arrived, Liu Xiu first looked around at everyone before asking: "Now that the four counties are all peaceful, can many important military and political affairs be handled properly?" ”
"After yesterday's rest, the last general has completed the preliminary planning of military affairs!" The first to speak was Wei Rui, and now the overall planning and deployment of all military affairs under Liu Xiu's command are managed by Wei Rui, while Xie Xuan is guarding Changsha County and is also responsible for training soldiers.
When Liu Xiu heard this, there was no look of surprise on his face, he had always believed in Wei Rui's military strategy, so he said calmly: "Let's talk to us!" ”
"Whoa!" Wei Rui introduced with a serious face: "Now there are three soldiers and horses in the four counties under the command of the lord, excluding the general Yang Ye who is still not under the name of the lord and is located in the north of Wuling County, with 20,000 people; a group of 40,000 recruits and 10,000 Dongting Lake naval troops under the command of General Xie Xuan of Changsha County; There are only more than 40,000 people left in this Guiyang County! ”
"So much!" When Liu Xiu heard this, he was extremely surprised by the number of soldiers and horses he had.
"Yes, my lord!" Wei Rui continued to say without changing his face: "It's just that although there are many people, most of them are still useless!" ”
Liu Xiu listened, frowned, thought carefully in his heart, and said slowly: "Indeed! It's basically useless! There are only 10,000 sailors in Changsha County who have been trained for many years, and the remaining 40,000 are either soldiers or new soldiers, and they are not up to the task at all; And now the 40,000 horses in Guiyang County are only the Beifu Army and the 5,000 Pioneer Battalion that have been replenished to 5,000, and the rest are all surrendered troops; As for General Yang Ye's two men, it's not easy to act rashly for the time being, and now is not the time to turn against Jingbei."
Liu Xiu analyzed to himself, and the more he spoke, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
"And that's not all!" Wei Rui added: "Except for General Yang Ye's soldiers and horses, the remaining 90,000 horses under the lord's command need a huge amount of grain and grass, and now it can still be supplied normally, relying on the lord's accumulation in the past few years, and now, the counties and counties under the lord's rule are still in a situation where the grain and grass are beyond their means; Therefore, if the problem of grain and grass cannot be solved, the lord is afraid that he will have to disarm! ”
"Indeed!" Liu Xiu was even more distressed, and muttered to himself: "Recruit! Surrender! Grain and grass! ”
"The lord doesn't need to worry too much!" Fang Xuanling, the newly promoted strategist who had listened for a long time, said loudly at this time: "The two major problems mentioned by General Wei will only lead to the fact that the lord will not be able to send troops to fight in the near future, as for the rest, it actually has not much impact!" ”
"Xuan Ling, you can talk about it carefully!" Liu Xiu listened to what Fang Xuanling said, and immediately came to his senses and said anxiously.
"Whoa!" Fang Xuanling spoke straightforwardly and did not turn around: "As far as Fang knows, the grain and grass accumulated by the lord in the past few years is enough to support the needs of 90,000 soldiers for a year, as long as the lord does not continue to fight during this period, the grain and grass are enough to support the needs of these 90,000 soldiers and horses; Presumably, after a year of governance by the lord, as long as the four counties of Jingnan do not come due to natural disasters, they will definitely have a bumper harvest next year! ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said with great joy: "I'm really confused, I definitely won't have any more wars in the near future, so why bother with recruits, food and grass problems!" ”
Then he asked Wei Rui again: "In addition, is there any other military affairs?" ”
Wei Rui said again: "In addition, most of the soldiers and horses under the lord's command are now concentrated in Changsha County and Guiyang County, but Lingling County and the southern part of Wuling are empty, and these two places are close to Jiaozhou and Nanban, which are really the rear of the lord's father, and they must be guarded against!" Therefore, the last general suggested that the lord should send the general to the town to guard it! ”
"That's really a problem!" Liu Xiu thought about it for a long time before he ordered: "Order, Yang Gon and Yang Wulang will divide 10,000 troops from Changsha County to Lingling and Wuling South to garrison; Then let Xie Yuan and Xie Yu (two of Xie Xuan's six brothers in Siwen and two martial arts) be supplemented by political affairs! ”
"Whoa!" Wei Rui shouted yes.
But this is not the end, Wei Rui once again raised a big question: "Cavalry has always been an indispensable part of the world, and now there is a shortage of horses in the south, but the lord is not short of cavalry!" Therefore, this war horse also needs to be planned in advance! ”
Liu Xiu paused, and said with a deflated face: "Old General Luo is a variety of experts, and the Youyan Iron Cavalry and Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry he trained are very powerful, but this war horse is really hard to find, how can it be good?!" ”
At this time, Liu Bowen smiled and said: "The lord does not need to worry about this matter, the cavalry training not only takes a long time, but also consumes a lot of money, this matter is not urgent, and it cannot be carried out in the south; Therefore, the lord can send General Luo Lao to the northern grasslands, and let General Luo Lao train cavalry on his own, as long as there is money, grain and grass from the lord caravan, presumably this matter is not difficult for General Luo! ”
"Hahaha!" When Liu Xiu heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "I'm confused again, what Berwyn said is very true!" ”
Then he ordered again: "Order General Luo Yi to take Yang Qilang to the northern Xinjiang to recruit and train cavalry on his own, no more, just thousands!" ”
Turning his head to look at Yang Qilang, he said: "Qilang, this time I followed General Luo Lao to Northern Xinjiang, remember to learn cavalry combat from General Luo, understand?!" ”
When Yang Qilang died in his previous life, he was still a teenager, except for his natural divine power and martial bravery, he had no way to lead troops, so this time Liu Xiu planned to send him to study hard with Luo Yi, a cavalry veteran, hoping to become a sharp arrow in his hands in the future.
"Whoa!"
"Brother Ji Xu, I must have learned a good skill, come back to help you!"
"Well done"
