Xu Huang and Huang Xu both received orders to retreat, as for why they had to retreat after fighting well, these two people must have a lot of incomprehension and unwillingness in their hearts, but an order is an order, as a soldier, an order is heaven!

Huang Xu and Xu Huang were very happy during this period of time, of course, this happiness was also earned by themselves, if they didn't fight to defeat their opponents Xiahou brothers, they wouldn't be able to run and plunder in Cao Cao's territory so freely.

Relatively speaking, the players who took on the limited raid mission were all stained with the light of these two guys, and basically they didn't have to fight any tough battles to have a big harvest, which once again verified the truth that only by following the winner can they have a big harvest.

Huang Xu returned to Guangling City, Jiang Wan led people to wait outside the city, he didn't come back for some days, as soon as he returned to the city, he seemed to have a feeling of returning home, there seemed to be some changes in Guangling City, Huang Xu looked carefully, except for more people, there seemed to be nothing special, but Huang Xu clearly felt that the city was different, definitely not more people.

Huang Xu whispered to Jiang Wan beside him: "Gongyan, why haven't I been out for a long time, the feeling in the city is different, but I look at it, except that there are more people, there seems to be no difference1."

"Different, huh? Is it different? Oh, I see, maybe people's mental outlook is different, you take a closer look at the expressions and emotions on the faces of those strangers, is there a difference. ”

Huang Xu took a closer look. It's really a little different, it turns out that the feeling that the alien gave Huang Xu seems to be a little frivolous. The soles of the feet seem to have no foundation, the expressions and emotions on the face seem impetuous, and there is always a 'hostility' and vigilance in the eyes, but now it seems that there is no more, and everyone's emotions seem calm and confident.

"Does that really seem different? Why? ”

"No, it's because they have built up their self-confidence by defending their homes with their own hands. As well as the feelings for Guangling City, a person in his own home will definitely behave more peacefully and confidently. Isn't it1

"Oh, I see, Gong Yan boldly used Inhuman troops to defend the city, did he have this idea in the first place1

"Not from the time of defending the city, but from the time of the construction of the city. The lord said it. It is necessary to try to use a home to change the impetuous and violent emotions of the aliens, so that they have a foundation, so that they can settle down and think rationally. ”

Huang Xu suddenly said: "The lord is really far-sighted, he can think so far-sighted, it is really a mountain to look up 1."

"Hehe, that's why he's the lord.1

"Speaking of lords. Gongyan, what is the intention of the lord who suddenly ordered a retreat this time? ”

Jiang Wan shook his head and said, "I can't say this well. I'm not from the General Staff, so I don't know much about it, so it's hard to judge1

"Hehe, just talk about it, small talk 1

"Okay, just talk about it casually, I think the lord suddenly ordered a retreat, it is likely that this battle will not be able to continue, this battle is like an act from the beginning, Cao Cao scattered his troops, it seems that every way is strong, but every way is not enough to attack the city and capture the ground, it seems that Cao Cao did not intend to win at the beginning. Judging from the recent news from Cao Cao's territory, Cao Cao is likely to use war as a cover to rectify internal matters, which has something to do with the Japanese people's attempt to hold Cao Cao hostage. ”

"I see, no wonder we rarely encounter decent enemies in Cao Cao's territory, they always contain and harass from the flank, or passively defend against the strong walls and clear the wilderness, it turns out that Cao Cao didn't plan to fight big at the beginning."

"Well, looking at the layout of the lord is actually similar, and the lord doesn't plan to fight, because there is a question of strategic orientation, that is, how the Central Plains will evolve after the fight."

"This is also ah, will all the turf that has been beaten down be thrown back, and the Central Plains will be turned into white land? That's going to be scolded to death.1

"Hehe, that's right, the Central Plains is not suitable for us to occupy now, and we can't eat such a large territory at once, we can't manage it at all, but the city has the root cause of the burden and trouble, this kind of thing will definitely not be done. Since we can't fight hard, then we must have an appropriate time to collect our troops, and it is presumable that Cao Cao's envoys have already gone north, but they are secretive, and we do not know1

Huang Xu nodded: "I see, the war is in Cao Cao's hands, it is really useful1."

"Yes, war is originally a continuation of politics, how to fight the war and what effect it will have are all crucial issues, and they are also the key to measuring the wisdom of a political force."

Huang Xu nodded angrily, this level of thinking is not something that Huang Xu can touch now.

For the same question, Xu Huang is also asking Xu Shu for advice.

Xu Shu raised his head from the detailed battle report, looked at Xu Huang who was looking forward to this face, and Zang Ba, who was also full of curiosity, and smiled: "This harvest is not bad, the money and food can basically be equal, after deducting the rewards for the settlement of the stranger, there is still a slight surplus, the population is earned for nothing, according to the military merit law, the two of them can be promoted again." ”

"Hehe, we know this, sir, what about the problem just now."

"Don't worry, things are going to be said one by one, what I said is not completely unrelated to the problem just now, this battle, the lord is to pick up cheap, he never thought about entering the Central Plains, Cao Cao is to use the war to solve internal problems, so he doesn't plan to fight, therefore, if you are willing to do it, you will naturally withdraw the army."

Xu Huang frowned dissatisfiedly, obviously, Xu Shu's explanation could not completely let him let go of the doubts in his heart.

"But sir, Cao Cao can do whatever he wants, do we have to cooperate with him?"

"It's complicated, of course we won't cooperate with him, but we also have our ideas. Moreover, haven't we already earned this battle, if we continue to entangle. Cao Cao is in a hurry, and the rabbit is in a hurry and bites! When the time comes, there will be a war to be earned, and it will be a loss battle, you must know that our main battlefield is still in Yingzhou and the other world, and the Central Plains can only use the form of non-war or low-intensity war to obtain benefits as much as possible. ”

Xu Huang nodded. This explanation can basically explain the strategic purpose of Youzhou in Dahan now, and it is also a good annotation for this abrupt end of the war.

"However, I am still a little unwilling1

Zang Ba also nodded and said, "I always feel like I'm accompanying someone." Somewhat passive. ”

"Hehe, the battle looks like this, but from the perspective of grand strategy, we are leading the changes in the Han Dynasty. At least. It is one of the parties that leads this change, Dahan is a game of chess, and we are the ones who play chess. ”

"Oh, sir, what's next for us?"

"Hehe, you want to go to war again?"

"Hehe" Xu Huang smiled and acquiesced, this doesn't need to be disguised, as a general, who doesn't want to make contributions on the battlefield!

"Don't worry. There will be a fight, even if it is not fought here. Next year, you may be transferred to Yingzhou in turn. ”

"What about me, Master Soldier?"

Zang Ba is also a little anxious, now it seems that he naturally put himself in Xintai to appease himself, but if he doesn't participate in the rotation, it seems that he has a lot less opportunities to make contributions, and he feels marginalized!

"Hehe, you are the same, it is possible to rotate to the Yingzhou battlefield next year, of course, if the Central Plains changes, it will be another 1

"Great1

"Sir, go on to say1 Xu Huang smiled at Zang Ba and turned to Xu Shu to ask.

"Well, speaking of this, we have to start with another purpose of Cao Cao to start this war, that is, the so-called military alliance he announced."

"This is also very strange, he has already made peace with the lord, but what does it mean to announce this here?"

"It means to provoke, I want to provoke the relationship between our army and Yuan Shao, and at the same time to pave the way for his next move."

"What's next? Could it be that he wants to go to war with Yuan Shao? ”

"In fact, they're already at war.1

"Sir means Peiguo, but isn't it just a skirmish?"

"No, it was originally a skirmish, but now it's not, this is a firehead, a fire that Cao Cao deliberately lit, and it will soon burn the fire all over Yanzhou."

Xu Huang and Zang Ba glanced at each other, now the situation is really quite complicated, Cao Cao really took one step to see three steps, this step has to take two steps and three steps to achieve the effect, a limited war, actually to achieve so many purposes, this shows the depth and breadth of politics, this thing, is indeed the pinnacle of people's wisdom!

"So, shall we watch the fire from the other side?"

Xu Shu smiled, his eyes flashed with wisdom, watching the fire from the other side? I'm afraid the lord's idea is to change the world!

"Well, let's take a look at this problem from another direction, this time in the battle of Xuzhou, Gongming, Xuangao and Zi'an, as well as General Cai Mao, plundered about 300,000 people, these 300,000 people will go north to Youzhou, this month from Yingzhou to Youzhou prisoners and people, there are more than 400,000, 30,000 Shanyue people from the northeast of the Jiangbei, Hu people captured from the grassland in the north, and more than 40,000 Hu people who are automatically naturalized, a total of nearly 800,000 population increments. If you put it in a city, then it will be a huge investment to open at least four new cities, but at the same time, there is a problem, suitable places to build cities, especially places to build large cities, are limited by many conditions, such as water, arable land, resources, transportation, etc."

Xu Huang and Zang Ba listened inexplicably, what is this? Does it have anything to do with the problem at hand?

Looking at the two of them with confused faces, Xu Shu smiled playfully, and then said: "Counting the increase in our original population base, it will increase by about 200,000 per month, which is the size of a large city, one per month!" Last year, a total of 45 new cities were added in Youzhou, all of which have reached the scale of third-level towns, mainly distributed in eastern Liaoning, western Liaoning, Xuanfu, Shuofang, Yanbei and other places. ”

Xu Huang couldn't help it: "Sir, what are you trying to say1."

"Hehe, I want to say, we now need some land that can quickly resettle the people, the newly developed land is limited by various conditions, the development speed cannot be too fast, in order to get more food, reduce the expenditure on city construction and development, so, we need to cook land 1

"Cooked? Central Plains? No, no, no1 Xu shook his head, frowned and denied his guess. To be continued.
