Charcoal burned in the brazier of the lord's mansion, and incense filled the house, and Chu Tian summoned the core people of Xia Zhen to discuss Xia Zhen's strategic plan.

Under Chu Tian's command were agricultural, economic, judicial, administrative, infantry, cavalry, and archers, which constituted his first team.

Hua Mulan and Xia Liang are approaching, the two women are talking, while Zhou Yafu is silent, Liu Sandao is crossing Erlang's legs from time to time, Fang Xuanling is playing against Chutian, and Li Kui is drinking tea.

Chu Tian held the black chess pieces: "Please Mr. formulate the Langya pair and plan for the development of Xia Town." ”

After Fang Xuanling learned about the current situation in Xia Town, Chu Tian asked him to propose the same Langya pair as Zhuge Liang Longzhong.

Facing Chu Tian's eager eyes, Fang Xuanling was not easy to refuse. After all, he is now the mastermind of Xia Zhen.

"The lord can use the identity of the lieutenant of Kaiyang County to crusade against the unsatisfied forces in Kaiyang County, expel Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan thieves, and then use Kaiyang County as a stronghold to exile the prime minister of Langya and occupy the land of Langya."

"Tao Qian is weak, Kong Rong is in the north, and with the strength of Langya country, tens of thousands of troops can be recruited. The lord then used the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army as the reason, so that Zhou Yafu would enter the Beihai Kingdom with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and within a year, the Beihai Kingdom could be annexed, and the Xiong Qing and Xu were occupied. At that time, depending on the situation, the lord will compete for the two states of Qing and Xu, and ask the court for the position of state pastor. ”

"Once you have the land of two states, you can unify Yanzhou and Yuzhou south of the Yellow River, go south to Huainan, attack Hebei in the north, and enter Guanzhong in the west, and divide the world into three parts."

"Then you have to look at Shu, go down the river, take the six counties in Jiangdong, and unify the world."

"Chase the Xiongnu and Xianbei to the north, and strengthen the control of the Western Regions Protectorate, which can be described as the emperor."

Fang Xuanling paints a bright future for Xia Zhen.

Chu Tian listened carefully, wasn't the first half of the strategic plan Cao Cao's development route?

The only difference is that Cao Cao used Yanzhou and Yuzhou as bases to raise troops, while Chutian's base was in Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

The second half of the plan is the routine of the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy Shu and Wu.

Fang Xuanling's Langya pair is actually a patchwork of ready-made two routines.

But what Fang Xuanling said is indeed right, there are already ready-made homework that can be copied in history, and copying homework will not be crooked.

To overcome the natural danger of the Yangtze River and conquer Xishu first, you can be condescending and return thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day.

Pity...... Now Xia Zhen has a population of only more than 20,000 people, hundreds of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to achieve the first step of Langya's confrontation - to dominate Kaiyang County.

And there may be a lot of variables on the way, just like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong completely declared that Jingzhou was invalid because of Guan Yu's carelessness.

The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel, one wrong step, one wrong step.

"I need time."

Chu Tian knew that if he didn't set a time point to achieve his strategic intentions, Xia Zhen would fall into the dilemma of developing too fast or too slowly.

If it develops too fast, it will be like the Mongol Empire, which only cares about swallowing the tiger and does not digest the territory, and the later territory will be quickly divided.

If the development is too slow, then like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, they will sit back and watch Cao Cao become big and indifferent, and when Cao Cao develops, they will no longer be able to return to the sky.

"How about attacking Kaiyang County within a year?"

Fang Xuanling cautiously proposed a point in time.

The first epic battle, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, began in December, and it is now the first month of the second year of the lord's calendar.

"A year?"

Kaiyang County must have an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, maybe more than 10,000 square kilometers, Chu Tian is very skeptical that Xia Zhen can build such a large territory in a year from the start of a second-class town.

"Just occupy Langya City, spread the word to the towns, and let them fall in the wind. If anyone is not satisfied, the generals Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan, and Liu Sandao will lead their troops to seek peace. ”

Fang Xuanling's words made Chu Tian's thinking change.

In Chu Tian's original idea, occupying a place meant conquering every village and town.

But in fact, as long as you occupy the county seat, the county seat, and the Assassin's Mansion, it is basically equivalent to controlling this area. Most villages and towns are wall-to-wall, and whoever has the biggest fist will listen to whomever they want, and only a few will really resist.

"But before that, we have to use up the quota of the vassal villages and towns of Xia Town, and try to occupy the villages and towns near Langya City, so that the villages and towns can surround the city."

Chu Tian supplemented Fang Xuanling's plan.

Langya City is a large city, and after Xia Town is upgraded to a small city, it is necessary to bring a group of villages and towns to capture the big city.

Zhou Yafu, who was silent, interjected: "The lord must also be careful of the movements of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. Once we plot to open Yang, Tao Qian may mobilize troops and horses to attack us with Zang Ba. ”

Mulan nodded: "It's not impossible." ”

Tao Qian is also a trouble. Zang Ba was ostensibly a cavalry lieutenant under Tao Qian, but in fact he became a force of his own in Langya State, and there were Taishan thieves such as Sun Guan and Yili under him. In Ju County in the north, there seems to be a Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian, who also has some soldiers and horses in his hands.

If Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, Cavalry Captain Zang Ba, and Langya State Minister Xiao Jian knew that Xia Zhen had less than a thousand soldiers and horses plotting to open Yangyang County, and planned to capture Langya City within a year, they would definitely feel that Chutian was crazy.

The Taishan thief force represented by Zang Ba did not even want to be eradicated by Tao Qian, and he wanted to use Zang Ba's prestige to control other Taishan thieves and deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Chu Tian had this confidence. What he lacks is not generals, but territory and troops.

Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan were invincible when they commanded tens of thousands of Han troops on the battlefield in Guangzong County, which was completely different from in Xia Town.

Qiao women don't cook without rice, and the gap in the overall strength of the territory cannot be made up by one or two generals. As long as the opponent's generals are not too bad, and the national strength is ten times that of yours, just defense and harassment can consume you alive.

"Why don't you train your soldiers and horses in this cold winter, and once spring begins, immediately capture the surrounding villages and towns? When this year's harvest is reached, we can collect grain from all over the country, temporarily recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and quickly take Kaiyang City. This plan can be set for a spring offensive and an autumn offensive. ”

I put down a cup of tea in the summer.

Only players will come up with the concept of "XX offensive".

"Spring offensive, autumn offensive...... It's a good name. ”

Zhou Yafu has words

Chu Tian held the sunspot in his hand, and the plan of the summer cool was divided into two steps, the spring offensive to subdue the villages and towns near Langya City, and the autumn offensive to occupy Langya City.

Chu Tian thought for a moment: "There is one more question. If the autumn offensive starts in July, it must be finished before planting in October, otherwise it will not only affect the planting, but also the cold winter will come. ”

"Lord Lord, if you can't defeat Langya City in three months, then there is no need to continue fighting, because then Tao Qian and the other Taishan thieves will come soon, and we can escape."

"There's one more person to take advantage of."

"Who?"

"Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya in Ju County. Langya is equivalent to the county guard, and should have been the leader of Langya country, but now the most influential person in Langya country is the Taishan thief, and he naturally doesn't have much affection for Zang Ba. If Xiao Jian and Zang Ba can be led to turn against each other, Xiao Jian may be able to borrow troops at that time. ”

In the Lord's Mansion where Xia Zhen is not too big, the strategic plan of chasing the Central Plains has been gradually perfected in the discussion of several people.

The first step is to dominate Kaiyang County, train troops and build territories in the cold winter, and launch a spring offensive in the spring.
