Autumn is the harvest season, but it is also a busy season, the people are busy with their own work, and the Jingzhou General's Mansion is also very busy.

As the New Year is getting closer and closer, it also means that the day of going to Yizhou will not be too far away, and the generals have been training soldiers in the barracks almost all day long to strengthen the run-in. The dispatch of various materials, the preparation of ordnance and armor, and the selection of civilians to escort materials, it is almost difficult to have a day of leisure.

Among them, the staff members of the military division are the most miserable, since Guo Jia learned that Wang Xu's life was on the verge of death, the importance of this battle Cheng Dù is unprecedented, and the calm and free in the past can no longer be seen, and it is even difficult to see his moving figure.

The only thing I know is that the lights are bright day and night, and every piece of information about Yizhou is constantly sent there. According to its requirements, it is so meticulous that even the family relationship of a garrison lieutenant and who has any conflicts with must be reported one by one.

Of course, he alone could not complete such a huge collection of work, but relied on dozens of staff members of the military advisor and his subordinates to do it together, and even transferred some talents from other subordinates to help.

Such a scene made everyone in the General's Mansion very surprised, in the past, he was the kind of person who would not frown until he was in a critical moment, and in the face of a big battle, he would simply understand the enemy's situation at most, and most of the time he would be improvised, and he would never waste any energy.

But now his approach is two extremes, according to this intensity of work, twenty or thirty years of hard work will have to become ill, do your best!

The most innocent was Xu Shu, who proved himself to the general's mansion through the two battles of Guò Yingchuan and Hanzhong. has been directly promoted to deputy military division. But it's only been a long time since I've been in office. Even the officials of the General's Mansion were not completely familiar with each other, so they were caught alive and dead by Guo Jia and sent to Peng's subordinates, studying various materials every day and drafting strategic plans.

Fortunately, he is also a practical person, and he understands this attitude very well, but he sighs from time to time that Guo Jia is completely different from the rumors, and he must bow down to everything. Diligence to the extreme.

In this regard, the officials of the General's Mansion all laughed and did not speak, Wang Xu shook his head, as far as Guo Jiana's temperament is concerned, if it is in the past, he would have burned incense and worshiped the Buddha if he didn't shake his hands, and he also sorted out the information and drafted the strategic plan in advance?

Even if those things are sorted out and given to him to see, they will only be hastily looked at some important ones. As for drafting a strategic plan in advance, it is nonsense, and he often has the inspiration. With a good plan, I won't think about anything else, just keep embellishment, and I'm a person who loves surprises and has a lot of ideas.

Now that he is like this, he is completely cornered, after all, he feels that he is still young, and he is really reluctant to return to his hometown in advance.

The results are just as obvious! Guo Jiatong's intelligence has deepened and deepened, and his understanding of the internal situation in Yizhou has been unprecedentedly clear.

In two months, more than 10 kinds of strategic deployments were drafted, and various possible countermeasures for Yizhou were considered in advance, and Xu Shu often led a group of people to deduce on the sand table, just to win Yizhou in the shortest possible time.

In addition, after the Nanban side was pacified, although the losses were great, there were also unexpected surprises.

The various tribes of the Wuxi barbarians fulfilled their promises, selected 15,000 of the strongest warriors, formed the Wuxi warriors, and went to Xiangyang to listen to the dispatch and follow Wang Xu to fight in the south and the north. The most important thing is that this group of people is not counted in the regular military service, that is, the military service that the barbarians should perform in the future will still have to be fulfilled.

After seeing these 15,000 people, Wang Xu didn't say anything, and directly issued a commendation order, and at the same time announced that these 15,000 people enjoyed the same treatment as Jingzhou soldiers, and they could choose to stay after serving in the military for seven years.

The main thing is that this group of people is too satisfying to him, the average Su zhì is very high, everyone is brave, Jingzhou except for the special troops of each general can stabilize the combat power, and the Qinglong Knight is only between him.

I'm afraid that the barbarians are really admitting their mistakes, saying that they are the most elite warriors of the Wuxi Barbarians, and it's true.

The generals originally wanted to reorganize it into various departments according to the practice of barbarian military service, but Wang Xu stopped them, and announced the establishment of a number that only belonged to the barbarian soldiers, called Wuxi Warriors, and all of them were equipped with simple standard Mingguang armor, with a small round shield on the left arm, and the kind of horse chopping long knife that only later generations had.

At first, it was opposed by Wenchen, who thought that it was not easy to manage, and the value of the equipment investment was too amazing.

But Wang Xuli overrode public opinion and confirmed this fact in public.

Unexpectedly, this action made the barbarian soldiers cheer, and even those barbarian soldiers who had served in the military before and had been assigned to various departments were equally excited, shouting their kindness. At this time, everyone noticed that the barbarian soldiers had probably longed for such a number for a long time, because it represented status and glory.

In ten days, the Jingzhou workshop rushed to produce 200 sets of standard equipment and distributed them to this Wuxi warrior, and the result was a drill that made everyone dumbfounded.

The barbarian is physically strong and extremely agile, and with the kind of thick-backed slashing knife that is good at chopping, it is really not an ordinary violent, even a fool can see its fierce Cheng dù.

Even if the horse chopping knife was removed and replaced with a wooden horse chopping knife, in just a few rounds, more than 600 Jingzhou recruits who had been trained were scattered, and all of them were put to the ground, and the Wuxi warriors were still steaming, and they were all unfinished, obviously just warming up.

Since watching this scene, all the Wenchen have closed their mouths, although the cost is more than three times that of ordinary soldiers, but the combat power is worth the price.

It is conceivable how great the use of this batch of hoplites is, they are fierce, swift, adapt to any battlefield, and when necessary, even dare to fight with the elite cavalry, as long as they do not collide head-on, use a little strategy, when the cavalry is not happy, these warriors go up, it is a knife one by one, and the hideous thick-backed swords are no different from splitting wood.

Wang Xu was even more happy, the idea of building hoplites had long been there, but the soldiers' plain zhì had not been able to meet the ideal conditions, and he didn't want the pure hoplites, because there was no mobile power, and countless materials were consumed, but it was difficult to really play a big role.

After all, the Three Kingdoms era he saw in his eyes was completely different from any document, and it was too terrifying. There aren't a few battles that go head-to-head. Regular hoplites are useless.

The enemy can't be beaten. They can't catch up. If they can't beat themselves, they can't run. When the two armies clash, they can use their mobility to kill these bulky guys. As for the ambush battle, it is even more useless, and the roar of heavy footsteps is heard from afar, and then when he arrives panting, the enemy army has already gone and the shadow is gone, except for eating dust. Completely useless.

If they are ambushed by fire, flooding, stone-throwing, and crossbows, those bulky guys will have to wait to be slaughtered.

But this is different, their attack power is comparable to heavy infantry, but they move quickly, and they have extremely strong defense, which is definitely another big ace division in Jingzhou with special troops and green dragon knights, and the only flaw is that the number cannot be too much.

In addition to the fact that it is a bottomless pit for eating materials, it is also because most of the soldiers cannot meet the standard. Too demanding.

But fifteen thousand people were enough, and I was overjoyed. Wang Xu even announced in the army that the barbarian soldiers serving in other departments could also apply to join this army if they felt that they could, but only received 20,000 people, mainly because Jingzhou could not afford more.

As for the Jingzhou sergeants, of course, there are many who meet the standards, but they can't all be sent to one unit, they are also the elite of each department, and they can't weaken the combat effectiveness of other troops on a large scale.

The barbarian soldiers were very enthusiastic, in ten days, 5,000 people were selected, and entered the Wuxi warriors with honor, in order to establish the sense of glory of this newly built army, Wang Xu according to the treatment of the Qinglong knights, set aside a small military camp for him in the west camp outside Xiangyang City, which only belonged to the separate military camp of the Wuxi warriors.

It's just that who the daily training of this army is handed over, but it makes Wang Xu think a lot, after all, although the barbarians respect him as a god, others may not buy it, and ordinary people can't hold it down at all, but what he wants is a disciplined army, not the courage of the barbarians who rely on force as they traditionally.

After thinking about it, he finally handed over this great task to Gao Shun, and when it came to military training, he was the best in the army, unmatched, and his submerged camp was the champion in every military exercise.

Although it is difficult to win every time, and often faces obstacles such as Xiaoyaojin Dead Soldiers, Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and Big Axe Knights, etc., but after all, he can faintly win a little bit, and the most dangerous one is to just win the Xiaoyaojin Dead Warrior and Yanyun Iron Cavalry.

The generals were not convinced, and every time they looked at him as the goal, but it was always a little bit worse.

Moreover, in the Jingzhou army, Gao Shun's prestige is extremely high, and he is very skilled in controlling his soldiers.

In the end, Gao Shun also picked up this burden, although on the first day of training, he was challenged by the barbarian warriors and made a lot of trouble, but Wang Xu did not change his mind, let him do it, he firmly believed that no matter what kind of difficulties, Gao Shun can solve them, all that is needed is to wait for the results.

On this day, Wang Xu had just taken the pill to suppress toxicity and was about to rest for a while on the Hu bed in the study, when Shan Huai suddenly hurried over.

"Lord, there is something important to report!"

"Say!" Wang Xu glanced at him tiredly.

Shan Huai didn't ramble this time, and said bluntly: "Yuan Shu somehow suddenly sent troops to attack Peiguo, and Liu Bei, who is Xiaopei, has already reorganized his army for battle. Sun Jian took advantage of Yuan Shu's flawless plan to suddenly send troops to attack Liu Xuan, who had already connected several counties and hit Poyang County Government, and now Poyang only left Tai Shi Ci to rectify the remnants of the army to resist, Liu Xuan sent 30,000 troops to the rescue, and now it may be almost there. ”

"Oh? So fast? Wang Xu's brows furrowed. Sun Jian suddenly sent troops, and the logistics materials could keep up? Didn't hear any news about Liu Xuan's fine work? ”

"Nope!" Shan Huai shook his head. "At the beginning, there were very few soldiers, led by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, with 2,000 people each, walking day and night, not preparing too much at all, and bypassing Liu Xuantun's camp on the border, going deep behind the enemy to attack Guangchang County, Guangchang resistance fell in less than half a day, Sun Jian then led the main army to set off, followed by grain and grass."

After Wang Xu heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed: "What a big courage to bypass the enemy camp?" If he failed to take Guangchang in three days, he would not be left with the scum that was not eaten by Liu Xuan behind the enemy line? Counting the time to hurry, he only attacked Guangchang for most of the day, how did he take it? Unreasonable! ”

"It's not clear yet, there's no definite news coming!" Shan Huai replied softly. (To be continued......)
