Chapter 536: The target is secluded and cool, and the four states are cool
Now Li Yunfei's territory is in the late Han Dynasty when food and clothing have not been solved, it can be said that he is very rich, his family has surplus food, and he still has a few dollars in hand to buy some new clothes or something.
During the year-end report of the Spring Festival, it was also preliminarily counted, and after adding the newly subdued Yangzhou and Jingzhou and other places, the population has 3.6 million households, about 17 million, and now the total population of China is at most 30 million, so it occupies more than half of the population in its own territory, and many industries are thriving, which is very different from those states in the north.
This is also the main reason why those princes in the north are impatient to form an alliance and attack in the south, which is related to their life and death.
"Lord, the crusade alliance is going to divide its troops and go south...... "Early in the morning, Lao Jiu sent a newly collected important information, and the general content of the military meeting held by the alliance of princes was actually obtained by Lao Jiu's intelligence department.
The intelligence network he worked so hard to develop has finally produced some results, which is indeed gratifying, and the formation of a huge intelligence network in just one year is already very remarkable.
"Good job, Lao Jiu, those who risked their lives to get intelligence can be rewarded!" Li Yunfei officially praised him, he has not had a good time in recent months, and the sneak attack a few months ago, his intelligence network could not be discovered in advance, but it made him embarrassed.
"Thank you for the compliment, those intelligence officers have already received enough rewards!" Finally, you can raise your eyebrows.
"You have to make persistent efforts, monitor the movements of those troops, cooperate with the defensive deployment of the generals in the south, and when this war is over, I will count your intelligence department as a collective first-class merit!" Although the rabble wanted to divide their troops to attack south, Li Yunfei was not ready to go back to defend the city, but chose to continue to go north and attack the lair of those princes. The people's hearts are wanted, the morale is high, and the equipment is even higher than the opponent's level, and the time, place and people are all occupied, and there is really no reason to lose.
"Thank you, my lord, the students will do their best!" Lao Jiu bowed and retreated, this time he could finally show off in front of those senior brothers, his intelligence network was strong, and he was still very excited.
Most of the generals stationed in various places have been taught by Li Yunfei personally, so most of them are commensurate with brothers and sisters when they usually get together, and their relationship with each other is also quite good.
The total strength of the new army in Xuzhou is as high as more than 500,000, and Li Yunfei only took 100,000, and in Jingzhou, it is only more than 100,000, so in fact, more than 200,000 troops can be mobilized near Xuzhou at any time, but they are all well-equipped troops, and there is no need to fill the numbers.
Of course, when necessary, those militias can be recruited at any time for explosive expansion, and these militias often receive some training, and they are also paid for training, so the people are very active in signing up, and it is also incumbent on them to protect their homeland. If there is really an enemy attack, as soon as the mobilization order is issued, they will report to the troops in minutes, and they will take up arms and put on their armor to become a soldier.
The total number of militia is a bit too much, the total number has exceeded one million, almost all young and middle-aged people will sign up for military training, Li Yunfei did this, of course, borrowed from the modern military training system, but in this troubled times, the military training will be more, in order to improve the enthusiasm of the people, but also to eat and live and pay wages, Tibetan soldiers and people, the financial pressure is not too great, and it can improve the cohesion of the people, and there are many benefits......
Therefore, the total strength is very different, as long as Xu Shu is not a complete idiot, he can easily win the war, and what he has to do is to eliminate or expel Liu Bei's army, and then continue to collect territory.
……
Puyang once had an incomparably glorious history, counting as the birthplace of Chinese civilization, once upon a time the Yellow Emperor's war against Chiyou took place near here, which is commonly known as the Central Plains, the cradle of Chinese civilization.
Once upon a time it was so brilliant, but now it seems to be a little declining, the city is quite dilapidated, although after a few months of continuous repair by the nearby tiger, but the city is still quite dilapidated, years of war, has made the population here drop by more than half, all the villages and towns nearby more than 30 miles combined, the total population is only more than 300,000, this is still the tiger came here after the collection, a lot of refugees have the population, originally here is almost become an abandoned city......
The tiger outside Puyang City was looking forward to it early in the morning, and after seeing Li Yunfei's figure from a distance, he rushed out, looking very excited, of course he had reason to be excited, the lord personally led the troops to rescue him, and he was not excited to be a subordinate.
"The students are ashamed, this time the teachers moved the people to the north, but they did not build an inch, and the tired lord came to help!"
"What's so shameful about this, and you haven't built an inch, isn't this Puyang already occupied by you, and the management is very good, this is a great achievement." Li Yunfei hurriedly helped the person up, patted his shoulder and said a few words of relief.
"The lord's praise makes the students even more embarrassed!"
"Okay, let's go to the city, after resting, follow me to the north to collect land."
"My lord, please!" Tiger stepped aside and cast an inquiring glance at Thirty-Six.
It means to ask, is this going to the north to regain territory, is it to continue to attack the north instead of holding on to the same place? Thirty-six naturally saw that Tiger One and the others were puzzled.
"This time, the lord is ready to take the northern Youhe Liangji Four Continents in one go, so this battle is big!" Thirty-six whispered, Hu Yi, who heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up, this is a great news, and it is also what he dreamed of, it feels very good to be able to go to the world with the lord.
……
It was late at night, and Li Yunfei was still studying military maps, and the maps of this era were really a bit miserable, but he could only look at them, and was studying the distance between various cities, as well as transportation, terrain, and so on.
Now Liu Bei led his troops to a camp more than 30 miles away, and the other forces had withdrawn from the camp overnight and left, although Li Yunfei got the news, but he didn't care about them, because the chase couldn't catch up, and they were more than 30 miles away. I don't want to chase them, just leave those people to the group of student generals who have been carefully trained for more than a year to deal with them, and Xu Shu can't see anything serious.
What I have to do is to wait for the army to rest and recuperate, and then go and pull out the camp first, this Liu Bei has a total of more than 100,000 people, and the real elite is only 30,000 or 40,000, and he still wants to use the camp to confront himself, this is simply looking for abuse.
"Xiao Qiao, if you are sleepy, go and rest first, you don't have to accompany me." Seeing that Xiao Qiao nodded sleepily, he hurriedly ordered.
"The slave family is not sleepy...... Xiao Qiao, who suddenly sobered up, hurriedly said that he was very energetic.
"Hehe, don't be sleepy, what did you just nod your head, go and rest!"
“…… General, can I say something that is in my mind? ”
"Of course, listen up!"
"General, the coalition army has already divided its troops to the south, are we really not going south to help?" Before saying his thoughts, Xiao Qiao deliberately confirmed.
"Why, do you think our troops in Xuzhou can't stop that rabble?"
"It's no problem to stop the invaders, but I think the common people may suffer again, in fact, we went back to drive out those invaders, as long as we develop well for a few years, and then carry out the Northern Expedition, then everything will fall into place." Since the general let him say it, Xiao Qiao also said his thoughts.
"Well, what you said is very reasonable, I used to plan to do the same, but now I can't do it, now the defenders of the four northern continents have been evacuated, if the foreign tribes take advantage of the situation to invade the south, burning, killing and looting can be much more ruthless than the warlords in the Central Plains, so I must take back all the four northern states and use strong enough force to deter those foreign tribes from going south!"
“…… The general's vision is really long-term, but my vision is too short-sighted. After listening to the explanation, Xiao Qiao could only sigh to himself.
"Don't be humble, you're a female Zhuge Liang!"
"Female Zhuge Liang? Is the general complimenting me on my cleverness? Xiao Qiao was a little puzzled, the current Zhuge Liang can be said to be unknown, but there is a little fame in Jingzhou, I heard that it is a little prodigy, but it is really not a big deal.
"Of course...... In fact, Zhuge Liang is a very smart person! Li Yunfei was about to miss out for a while, so he could only justify himself.
"I don't think he's as smart as the general...... By the way, speaking of smartness, in fact, we have a lot of smart girls in the Phoenix Legion, especially one of the yellow-haired girls who is very smart! ”
"You little girl, you are not allowed to call others yellow-haired girls in the future, this will damage your goddess temperament!"
"Well, I wrote it down, thank you General for the reminder!" was praised by Li Yunfei as a goddess, and the mood was indescribably good.
"Don't look at it, let's rest first!" Saying that, he got up and went back to his room to sleep, but Xiao Qiao actually followed, and now he is not camping in the wild, and he doesn't have to live together. But after being held to sleep last time, Xiao Qiao regarded himself as Li Yunfei's insider, so let's sleep together...... Since they are cuddling and sleeping together, it is inevitable to touch and scratch something......
