At the welcome banquet, everyone tacitly agreed that they didn't say anything, and it wasn't until the banquet was over that Tao Qian sent his subordinates, leaving his henchmen and staff to have a secret meeting with Fang Zhiwen behind closed doors.

Xiangxiang is impatient with this, she has long been gone, she has a lot of fun these days, it is said that she has made a lot of friends, such as Cao Bao's daughter A Taoqian's granddaughter and the like, she is a girl, in the home of these powerful people in Xiapi is simply free to enter and exit, just like in their own home, and can receive a lot of strange and interesting tasks that other players are impossible to receive, this kind of thing, others can't envy.

The maid served fragrant tea to the guests on both sides of the seat, and then Yuguan withdrew.

Tao Qian picked up the teacup and gestured to Fang Zhiwen, took a sip of tea, and slowly said: "Lord Fang, first of all, thank you Lord Fang for being able to come from thousands of miles to help, this love and righteousness of the old man is inscribed, and on behalf of the gentry and people of Xuzhou, the other party is grateful for his high righteousness 1

"The boss is polite, I admire the boss's Tuntian strategy very much, especially to be able to govern Xuzhou so rich and happy in this troubled world, if people ruin all this, it is a pity1

Fang Zhiwen smiled and said polite words without nutrition, but he was studying the Xuzhou magnates present.

Cao Bao, as a representative of the military, is also a local clan in Xiapi City. Holding the most important military power in Xiapi City, this person is definitely a pivotal figure in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng, a native of Huaipu in Xiapi, has a family power concentrated in the eastern part of Xiapi, but there are also a large number of commercial properties in Xiapi City, and there are also many granges outside the city, which are also the local clans in Xiapi.

Mi Zhu, needless to say, the giant clan of the East China Sea, who has been in business for generations, is said to be not a clan. In recent years alone, there are tens of thousands of displaced people who have sold themselves to join the Mi family, this is definitely a giant family, and I don't know why I want to take refuge in Liu Bei back then, maybe because of the insecurity of businessmen, hoping to protect businessmen with power.

The remaining Zhenrong, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang, and Xu Fang should be the henchmen of Tao Qian's faction, and Xuzhou is controlled by these four major factions, and the reason why Tao Qian arranged these people in this important meeting is very reasonable. In other words, Fang Zhiwen's negotiation with Tao Qian. It was only when these people agreed on the same opinion that they would simply negotiate together.

Of course, Tao Qian also used Fang Zhiwen's power to suppress the thoughts of these clans.

There are fewer people on Fang Zhiwen's side, in addition to Fang Zhiwen, there are also Guo Jia, Zhen Xiang and Huang Zhong, and it seems that some people are single-handed

"Hehe, Lord Chengfang's kind words, the old man is ashamed, the situation in Xuzhou now is like a child with a huge amount of money. This is also the incompetence of the old man1

"People don't hurt the heart of the tiger, the tiger hurts people's intentions, the boss is just a gentleman's heart to spend the belly of the villain, Cao Cao's wolf ambition, the world knows, this is not the boss's fault."

"I'm ashamed, now Cao Cao is using borrowing grain as an excuse. If you want to do the invasion, the major generals of Xuzhou are outnumbered, and they hope that Lord Fang will not hesitate to help. ”

"Don't worry, I'm here. It's here to help the boss, but I don't know how the boss needs to help? ”

"This" Tao Qian hesitated for a moment, and quietly glanced at Zhao Yu and Chen Deng, this kind of thing is best for them to test Fang Zhiwen's thoughts first.

"Don't hide it from Lord Fang, now my troops in Xuzhou can only stick to three or two big cities, and I also have to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from taking the opportunity to invade the south, and besides, the Xuzhou army has been sparse for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not be able to fight hard, so the troops that can fight with the Cao army can hardly take a shot, so it is necessary for adults to help Cao Cao with all their might."

"What does Yuan Long mean is that I hope that my Miyun army can completely block the Cao army?"

"Yes! Of course, we will provide all the munitions and equipment, and the same is true for the militia, and the war is also under the orders of adults. ”

Fang Zhiwen nodded: "I understand, but, Yuan Long and the boss, you only think about guarding against the Yellow Turban Thief, have you ever considered whether Yuan Shao will take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Tao Qian's face froze, Chen Deng's face was also ugly, Zhao Yu sighed and said: "After thinking about it, it can only be a move, and the direction of Pengcheng can only be defended as much as possible, if the adults can repel Cao Cao as soon as possible, then everything is easy to say." ”

Fang Zhiwen thought for a moment and said, "Boss, do you mean to hand over the power and responsibility of fighting against Cao's army to your subordinates, while your army is responsible for defending against threats and key cities in the north?" ”

Tao Qian's old face flushed slightly, and he nodded slightly stiffly: "That's exactly what you mean, what is Lord Fang's will?" ”

"There's no problem with this, I'm here to deal with Cao Cao, but things are not as simple as adults and you think, I was born in the army, I don't dare to say anything else, but in the military I am unwilling to be left behind, everyone thinks about this war too simply, Fengxiao, please tell me about the results of our deduction of the war."

"Yes! Boss, please order someone to get a picture shelf. ”

Soon a guard came in with a picture frame, Guo Jia took out a detailed map of Xuzhou and hung it on the shelf, Tao Qian and a group of subordinates took a closer look, and couldn't help but be shocked, this map is more detailed than their own, it is conceivable that with this map, if Fang Zhiwen wants to attack Xuzhou, it will be twice the result with half the effort! I really don't know where Fang Zhiwen's map came from.

Guo Jia looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and explained with a smile: "This map was purchased from Inhuman, in this regard, Inhuman's ability is stronger than ours, if the boss needs it, the boss of this map will keep it." ”

"Hehe, thank you for your filial piety, please continue 1

Guo Jia smiled, turned his back to the map and slowly began to say: "Everyone, before explaining the rehearsal of the actual battle, I need to introduce the situation in Xuzhou and the surrounding areas, now Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu have stopped fighting, and Sun Jian is fighting with Liu Miao for Danyang County." Zhang Bao has just completed the integration in Taishan, and the strangers in Chengyang and Langya County are increasing their strength to manage their own strength. Looking at the interior of Xuzhou, the inner city of Xuzhou is densely populated, and there are a large number of villages and towns outside the city, and the continuous farmland is about to be harvested, while in the city, there are a large number of unemployed homeless people and displaced people. Looking at the comparison of military forces, Cao Cao can mobilize 60,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, and the number of Inhumans who will participate at that time is estimated to be about 300,000. Yuan Shao was able to mobilize nearly 60,000 troops. There are about 100,000 Inhuman troops, about 150,000 Yellow Turban troops can mobilize, and more than 400,000 Inhuman troops. The total number of local defense troops in Xuzhou exceeds 500,000, including the militia, and 80,000 mobile troops. ”

Guo Jia's words made everyone in Xuzhou ashamed and ashamed. It's just that what people say is the truth, but if Xuzhou is really strong. There is no need to ask for Fang Zhiwen's head.

Therefore, from the perspective of war capability, Xuzhou will undoubtedly lose without foreign aid. Now if you look at the map, the area bordering Xuzhou is very large, which has caused huge problems for our defenses, and according to our speculation, Cao Cao may form two or three attack groups, and then scatter a large number of Inhuman troops into Xuzhou to loot. Guys, I just said that. A large number of rural towns in Xuzhou will become their targets, and the affluent Xuzhou has now become a delicacy to feed the enemy army. ”

Everyone's faces were darker, Guo Jia said that they really didn't think about it carefully, and now that Guo Jia said this, they understood why Cao Cao came to Xuzhou, it was because the fragrance of Xuzhou's harvest was too tempting, and Cao Cao's army didn't even need to bring grain and grass. Just grab while fighting.

But in this way, Xuzhou's defense has become a big problem, on such a vast defensive front, how can it be defended Even if Fang Zhiwen is willing to do his best to help, but Xuzhou may not be able to invite so many troops, right?!

"In the second step, Cao Cao will concentrate his forces to capture the key points, and then repeat the first step, so that he will slowly encroach and advance, and eat the entire rich Xuzhou little by little. The key points of these first lines should be to take considerations, Xiaqiu, Wuxian, Huailing and other places, after taking these support points, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao in the north may also be moved, and then, Xuzhou will face the state of being attacked on three sides, and then the rich land of Xuzhou will be in flames, everyone, how to deal with it? ”

Guo Jia's question stopped Tao Qian and all his subordinates, if there is really the situation that Guo Jia said, no, since Guo Jia can think of it, then Cao Cao must also be able to think of these problems, the possibility of this situation is almost undoubted, now everyone should think about how to deal with this completely festering situation.

Chen Deng swallowed his saliva, a layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead at some point, Fang Zhiwen was right, he and others were still too optimistic to estimate the situation, and he also boasted that he was proficient in strategic and military, but he could not foresee this bad situation, what made Chen Deng even more ashamed was that in the face of this bad situation, Chen Deng could only think of a stupid way to defend the core city, I don't know, is there a better way for this young military advisor Guo Fengxiao?

Fengxiao, is there a way to deal with it? Tao Qian glanced at the subordinates around him, and when he saw that everyone was silent or frowning and thinking deeply, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and finally turned his expectant eyes to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia grinned, and said confidently: "Naturally, there are, Fengxiao has three strategies here, please correct them." ”

Tao Qian was overjoyed and said urgently: "Fengxiao come quickly1."

"This strategy is to give up the periphery, stubbornly defend the key cities, try to use the siege to consume Cao Cao's vital forces, step by step in the process of retreating, on the one hand, we can refine our defensive troops, on the other hand, a large number of Cao Cao's elite troops, until Cao Cao is lured to the hinterland of Xuzhou, my Miyun cavalry can detour back behind the enemy, cut off its supplies and even harass its hinterland, when Cao Cao's pay is far greater than the benefits, Cao Cao will naturally retreat, Cao Cao goes, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao will naturally not continue. This strategy is to kill the enemy 800 and lose 1,000 to play, but it is safe, the possibility of success is very large, and it can also give the people and soldiers of Xuzhou a chance to hone their skills, if Cao Cao comes again next year, his loss will be greater than this year. ”
