It is not difficult to guess that the war against Yuan Shu was expected by many people present from Lu Su to be transferred from Lujiang.

Lu Su is a person who has a good ability to govern the people, is good at planning, is not ambiguous in commanding battles, and has strong personal force, but his personality is not as good as his ability.

Lu Su in history, is definitely a courageous person, dare to abandon the official to flee from the commands of Yuan Shu, the first time he saw Sun Quan, he put forward the strategy of dividing Jiangdong into two worlds, and dared to go to the meeting alone to anger Guan Yu and safeguard the interests of Jiangdong...... Although his personality is not flamboyant, he is by no means a low-key person, especially when he is young. Zhang Zhao was also unaccustomed to seeing Lu Su's wild words, so he didn't want to see him.

But maybe "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too impressive, in it, Lu Su is completely loyal and honest, which leads to Lu Su's calm personality in the game, more old-fashioned, and more similar to Xun You.

Of course, Lu Su's ability is undoubted, no matter what the circumstances, there will be no problem in serving as the Taishou of a county. But at this time, Liu Feng transferred the steady Lu Su away, and naturally thought of some things.

The reason why they are silent is because the stakes are too great.

Yuan Shu, once the first prince in the world, even if he has been defeated repeatedly in recent years, losing Nanyang, the first county in the world, and losing most of Runan, but under the power of many years, it is still terrifying. In particular, it also swept Xuzhou.

It can be said that Yuzhou and Xuzhou are both densely populated places, and even after many wars, the war potential under Yuan Shu is still huge. In the past, the reason why they were repeatedly defeated was because the territory was too large, which led to the dispersion of troops. and was besieged by princes on all sides, and it was reasonable to fail.

But now, Yuan Shu's sphere of influence has shrunk dramatically, and the number of enemies he has to face is also decreasing. Not to mention anything else, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, who had just swallowed Chen and Liang last year, were busy digesting the results of the battle, and they would never start the war again this year. Of course, this is also because the two have not yet reached an agreement on the issue of Chen Liu, and they are still at war.

On the Langya side, the newly invested Yellow Turban Army blocked Yuan Shao's ambition to go south, and Liu Biao in the west was also busy dividing the sphere of influence with Sun Jian in Runan, and it was not yet known who the big city of Pingyu would fall into, and it was impossible to start a war with Yuan Shu.

In this way, Yuan Shu's surrounding environment has been greatly improved. As long as Yuan Shu did not think about taking revenge immediately and regaining the lost territory, he would have enough time to continue to improve the combat effectiveness of the army and stabilize the ruling base.

If he blatantly starts a war with Yuan Shu at this time, it will attract Yuan Shu's full counterattack, and if a stalemate is formed at that time, it may give other princes an opportunity, such as Liu Biao.

"My lord, is it a little inappropriate to start a war against Yuan Shu for the sake of a few generals?" Zhang Zhao pondered his words.

As soon as Zhang Zhao's words came out, he was immediately recognized by some people and expressed their opposition.

"Also, my lord, come in the war every year, and our war reserves can't keep up with the consumption." Zhang Zhao added another sentence. He is in charge of internal affairs, so he is naturally qualified to say this.

"Is there enough food?" Liu Feng asked. Over the years, he has been calling for the strengthening of grain procurement reserves in order to prevent food shortages during the war.

"Jiangdong has a bumper harvest every year, and the grain reserves are sufficient." Zhang Zhao replied.

"That's good, as for weapons and equipment, I don't think I can't even support a big war! If it really doesn't work, then buy it externally, only pay money, and there will always be people who want to sell it. Liu Feng said, "This battle is imperative and irreversible. We only had two months to prepare, and we had to go in March. ”

"Lord, think twice, even if we are not afraid of Yuan Yi, but in this way, the loss is too great, and it will even affect the hard-won stability of Jiangdong. Lord, for the sake of a few generals, it's not worth it, it's really not good, it's ...... to spend money to buy it" The people led by Zhang Zhao immediately persuaded.

"Alas, Zibu, do you think that Ben Hou really made this decision because of Lu Bu's words?" Liu Feng raised his hand and stopped the crowd from talking.

"What does the lord mean that he has other plans to conquer Yuan Yi?" Zhang Zhao hesitated.

"It's not a matter of other plans, if it is under normal circumstances, Ben Hou does not want to provoke Yuan Highway, who has already been enraged, but time is running out, we must hurry up. If a strong army comes out without training, it is very likely that it will suffer a big loss in future battles. Liu Feng sighed, "So even if it affects the development of Jiangdong, it must be so." ”

"What news did the lord get to make him feel so urgent?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Yes, there are people in charge of intelligence in the Jiangdong Inhuman Alliance, which consumes a lot of money every year, but the effect is still good." Liu Feng explained, "According to the information they sent back, we have lagged far behind the surrounding princes in the development of our army. If this continues, within three years, Jiangdong will no longer be able to compete with the surrounding princes militarily. ”

"As you all know, according to the strength of the soldiers, the army can be divided into recruits, ordinary soldiers, elite soldiers, elite soldiers and bloody soldiers. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhongping, in the past 20 years, with the deepening of the war, the strength of the army in the hands of the real power in various places has become stronger and stronger, and the elite has become the main force in battle. For example, in Jiangdong, the last few expeditions have been mainly elite, supplemented by ordinary soldiers, and they have been training while fighting. ”

"However, the situation has changed now, and according to intelligence, there have been hundreds of elite soldiers in the surrounding princes' armies. Ladies and gentlemen, as you can tell from the name alone, these soldiers are people who have survived many battles, and they are extremely combative. Ten people can besiege and kill ordinary first- and second-order generals, and a team of fifty people can encircle and kill ordinary generals of the third and fourth orders. How many people do you need to fight to win? ”

"In the battle between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, a group of soldiers advanced; When Lu Bu exterminated the Baibo army, a group of soldiers advanced; Yuan Shao fought hard in Qingzhou for two years, and there were more people who advanced to the elite soldiers of a hundred battles; Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought repeatedly, and both soldiers advanced, and Sun Jian was almost the same; Liu Biao left countless people in Jingnan and also achieved this goal...... Of course, these are known, and we don't know how many actually there are. But even so, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have already posed a threat to us, and we must have our own strong army to deal with future changes. ”

"So, this is the reason why Ben Hou must send troops to fight against Yuan Shu." Liu Feng said in a deep voice, letting everyone hear his determination.
