Physics convinces this, and everyone already understands what it means and has a deep understanding.

Isn't the stability and prosperity under Liu Bei's rule so physically persuaded now?

But Sun Ce's ability to dominate Jiangdong is not a soft persimmon, and the force is not bad, especially Sun Ce's Yangtze River Sailor, although he will definitely not be able to compete with his side at sea, but it is really not false on the Yangtze River.

"I don't have any objection to whether I can physically persuade Sun Ce, but the question is that time is in a hurry?"

Guo Jia frowned and looked at Wang Xuan and continued to ask: "It's not like usual now, we can't wait so long, these three million people seem to be homeless, but they are not completely unorganized, although they were driven out by deception, but there are also a large number of people from the Central Plains family lurking among them." ”

"There are these people who are inciting the emotions of the displaced people, and the damage caused to the local area is very huge, and our troops are limited, and we have to deploy defenses on the border, and we have to collect the displaced people, and now we are already stretched, and the speed of collecting the displaced people is very slow, if we mobilize our troops to deal with Sun Ce......"

Guo Jia shook his head solemnly, everyone understood what he meant, obviously not optimistic about Wang Xuan's methods, this is also one of the flaws of Liu Bei's military strategy, there are too few troops.

The number of troops is too small, and the territory expanded in a short period of time is too huge, and the overall area of Guanzhong, Xiliang, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and the southern part of Xuzhou has expanded more than twice in just over a year.

Although Xiliang and Yizhou are vast and sparsely populated, the hidden dangers of the Qiang people and the mountain barbarians are huge, and there are many troops that need to be stationed in the local area.

This led to a large gap in the originally sufficient troops, taking this attack on Sun Ce as an example, the current news is that Sun Ce broke through along the river, and even broke through the four counties of Xiazhi, Exian, and Yixian.

Although this is because the four counties are all built by Lin Jiangshui, and there is no general stationed there, it is difficult to resist in the face of Sun Ce's all-out attack by the army, but in the final analysis, it is because of the lack of troops.

In fact, in addition to the Nanyang County that was originally occupied and the Nanjun County that had just been taken, Jingzhou's other counties, including Jiangxia and the entire four counties of Jingnan, even had a huge shortage of officials sent out, not to mention the garrison problem, most of the Jingzhou soldiers who had surrendered were originally surrendered, and it was too late to retrain.

You must know that the Han Army is not like the Cao Army, you can be forcibly conscripted into the army at will, and after enlistment, you dare to pull it out and use it with a little training.

The Han army now has an extremely strict military system, the welfare benefits of the soldiers are also very high, and the soldiers themselves also have a strong sense of honor; this is the result of long-term and strict training and ideological education, which is rare and valuable and of great significance, and it is impossible to destroy the good atmosphere that has been formed with great difficulty in order to replenish the troops in a short period of time.

This kind of business outweighs the losses, and no one will agree to these smart people under Liu Bei's rule.

"No army!" Wang Xuan said with a determined face: "If there are more soldiers, there will be more soldiers, if there are fewer soldiers, if there are no soldiers, there will be no soldiers, and I will attack the other with my strengths!" ”

How to play without soldiers?

……

In Xiling, the county seat of Jiangxia County, Sun Ce, who was sitting in the lobby of the county guard's mansion, had a smug look on his face, playing with the household registration of Jiangxia County in his hand, and said to Zhou Yu on the side with a smile: "It seems that this Han army is not as strong as imagined, and the resistance of the Han army is really a little weak, and the evaluation of the Han army does not need to be exaggerated." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing, he knew that Sun Ce was venting his resentment about the defeat in Xiquyang City.

Of course, it is impossible for every place to have an inhuman guy like Dian Wei stationed there, especially this kind of city that has just been captured by the Han army, and it is normal for it to change hands easily.

But it's good to make Sun Ce happy and restore his self-confidence, Xi Quyang's blow to Sun Ce is a bit too big for him.

"Where to shoot next?" Sun Ce rushed to the front of the map, his finger sliding on the map, "Shall we go north to take Anlu or go to Hanshui to take Jingling, or continue along the river to take Shaxian's troops into Nanjun?" ”

Zhou Yu also stood up and walked to the map with a smile and stood side by side with Sun Ce, and the hormones were spreading around at any time, the feather fan in his hand waved gently, and said in a confident voice: "If it is usual, it must be to enter the Han River to take the Jingling and the inner side, cut off the passage of Xiangyang to attack along the Han River, and then go north along the Zhuan River to take Anlu and cut off the road to the south of Nanyang."

"But now it's different, Cao Cao drove three million people into Liu Bei's rule at one time, followed by no less than 300,000 troops, the Han army is too busy to take care of itself, where is the effort to take care of us, especially Jiangxia and Jingnan The four counties are completely newly occupied by the Han army, and there is no time to rectify, so we have to continue to go down the river."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu gently paddled along the Yangtze River on the map with a feather fan, passing Shaxian and the State Tomb, until he stopped at Yueyang, "Our goal is here, the Qinghe Cui clan has built a city here called Yueyang, firmly guarding the Yangtze River waterway while backing to Dongting Lake, which can park a large number of water armies, and is the most important node to control the river." ”

"And the Qinghe Cui clan has a close relationship with the King of Han, if you want to firmly occupy the four counties of Jiangnan and Jiangxia, you must take it here, cut off the tentacles of the Han army stretching out to Jiangnan, only by firmly occupying this place, can we ensure the completion of our goal of occupying the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia this time."

"Good!" Sun Ce put his arm on Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said in high spirits: "Then after resting for three days, we will send troops to Sha Xian!" ”

……

"This is Yue Yang?" Wang Xuan was wearing an ordinary gray cotton suit, walking on the streets of Yueyangcheng and looking around.

This cotton began to be planted in Qingzhou when it was a trial, so many years have been spread out in a large area and very popular, compared to the era of Ge linen clothes filled with reed wool and other things, the big cotton jacket and cotton pants or something is simply an artifact, greatly reducing the mortality rate of the northern people in winter.

Moreover, the cotton cloth spun from cotton was also bought in large quantities by the people, and it was much stronger than Mai, and under the rule of Wang Xuan's policy of encouraging industry and commerce, it soon spread to the entire Han Dynasty.

"This Yueyang is really good, the only thing missing is a Yueyang Tower!" Wang Xuan was looking around and muttering.

"What is Yueyang Tower?" Zhang Fei, who had a black face and a beard like a pig's bristles, stretched out his head and asked.

"It's obviously a building, why are you so stupid!" Without waiting for Wang Xuan to answer, Hua Xiong's rough voice interjected.

"Damn, you're itching, aren't you?" Zhang Fei crossed his fingers and squinted at Hua Xiong, since everyone was guarding one place, he hadn't beaten Hua Xiong for a long time, obviously, Hua Xiong was floating!

"You two are going to stop Lao Tzu." Wang Xuan's cold voice came, and the two of them shook and immediately laughed and shut up.

Behind him, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Yang Ren, Pang De, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo pursed their lips and smiled at the two of them.

This group of people walking on the street is very eye-catching, after all, even beautiful men like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are tall and big, not to mention Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong, who are full of evil spirits, and they know at a glance that they are not good people.

Of course, at most, they thought they were heroes in Dongting Lake, and no one would think about the marquis under the command of King Han.
