Chapter 58: Jizhou develops, and the troops are insufficient
At this time, Fu Zhi knew that Tian Feng had changed Yuan Shao's mind, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "My lord, now that Liu He is so fast, he must need to recuperate, and we can take this opportunity to develop our government affairs."
In history, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu around Yuan Shao are the most famous, among which Tian Feng is good at military affairs, and Fu Shu is good at government affairs, it is worth saying that they are all proficient in strategy, so as long as Yuan Shao does not die, he can generally do four parts of the world.
Instead of history, three parts of the world, this is Yuan Shao's biggest weakness, and it is also the most fatal, even if he reuses the family, he will not let him fail, after all, the strength of the family is the greatest at this time.
As an official of Jizhou, he is very clear about the development space of Jizhou, and Han Fu, as the assassin of Jizhou, only handled government affairs simply, and did not make good use of Jizhou's energy at all.
Now it is Yuan Shao who leads the history of Jizhou, and of course he wants to develop Jizhou, which is also to allow Yuan Shao to better enhance his strength.
Tian Feng also felt good when he saw his friend say this, after all, he couldn't open up outward now, and if he wanted to become stronger, he could only develop inward.
So, Tian Feng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, the prince and brother are right, now we can only develop the capabilities of Jizhou and develop rapidly to enhance the strength of our army."
Yuan Shao saw that he couldn't send troops to Youzhou, so he had to listen to the words of Fu Zhi, first develop his strength, and then slowly plot.
As Yuan Shao listened to the words of Fu Zhi, and carried out the rapid development of Jizhou, Bingzhou and other places, coupled with the support of the Yuan family, his strength will definitely rise, and I am afraid that Liu He will not be able to defeat Yuan Shao in a short time.
Yuan Shao listened to the words of Fu Zhi, even if he failed to occupy Youzhou, he could use Jizhou, Merge Prefecture and half of Qingzhou, which was enough to make Liu He unable to unify Hebei in a short time.
Liu He's road to conquer the world is even more difficult, while Sun Ce and Liu Yu in the south have developed rapidly.
There was no one in Yangzhou in the south who could stop Sun Ce's pace at all, and now with the help of Zhou Yu and Xie An, it was only a matter of time before Yangzhou was unified.
Although Liu Yu said that he could occupy Jingnan, he was under the command of Liu Biao, and he was restricted by Liu Biao, so he was afraid that he would not be able to stand on his own in the short term.
…………
And Liu He, who was far away in Youbeiping, received that Xue Rengui had repelled the Xiongnu, successfully protected the people of Daijun, and occupied the two counties, so his mood was naturally happy.
Liu He immediately summoned all the generals and told them the news, and the soldiers in the army immediately became happy, which was much better than killing each other with the same clan in the Central Plains.
Wen Zhong's originally bitter expression was also relieved when he heard the news, he didn't spend much troops to take the two counties, I have to say that Xue Rengui's ability is not below him.
Liu He spread the news to the barracks in order to boost morale and let them know that their efforts are rewarded.
And since the greedy wolf army went to Youzhou from Liaodong, the losses are not very many, but they have captured four counties, but now there is a big problem, that is, the number of troops is obviously insufficient.
Liu He left Wen Zhong alone, his face was also bitter, and he said in a deep voice: "General Wen, now Gongsun Zhan has concentrated all his forces in Yuyang and Zhuo County, nearly 100,000 troops, and although we have 80,000 troops, Liaodong needs 30,000 guards, otherwise Benhou is afraid that foreign races will come."
Wen Zhong also knew what Liu He meant, frowned, and then said: "Lord, we sent 50,000 troops, and now the senior cadres of Bingzhou want to hold back General Xue's 20,000 troops, and Daijun and Shanggu also need 20,000 troops to defend them, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress them."
"Now we only have 20,000 troops, with 20,000 against Gongsun Zhan's 100,000, plus Gongsun Zhan's advantage of occupying the city, I'm afraid we won't be able to advance!"
Liu He looked at Wen Zhong and sighed in his heart, there are still too few troops now, but he is not reconciled, and asks seriously: "In General Wen's opinion, are the 20,000 captive soldiers available?"
When he took Youbeiping before, he captured more than 20,000 people, and there were only these troops in a short period of time, plus 20,000, Liu He still believed in Wen Zhong's ability to take Gongsun Zhan, and at worst Yuyang.
Liu He originally wanted to take down the entire Youzhou, but now it seems that it is very difficult, but if they take Yuyang, a large county with a population of more than 400,000, their development will be much easier.
When Wen Zhong heard this, he was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought, Liu He saw that Wen Zhong began to think, so he waited quietly.
At this time, Liu He also dared to use the surrender troops, especially the large number of Gongsun Zhan, in case of a critical moment, these surrendered troops turned against the water, Liu He and the 20,000 greedy wolf army could be directly defeated.
This is a big adventure, these 20,000 people are still under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and there may be many brothers and compatriots among them.
Wen Zhong also considered from many aspects, and finally looked at Liu He solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, if you want to use 20,000 troops to surrender, you can only let General Tian Yu take command, and let General Tian Yu educate them ideologically."
"The most important thing is that they can only be used for siege, we must not put them in key places, we must also be prepared to do both, in case they turn back, we must also be ready!"
Liu He heard Wen Zhong's tone, and his face was also solemn, if the 20,000 troops were to be used, they must be defended, and there was a big defense, but he believed that Tian Yu had the ability to manage them well.
Liu He asked Tian Yu to come in, looked at Tian Yu, the hero who fought against the Huns, smiled, and said: "General Guorang, now Benhou has a very important task entrusted to you, which is related to whether we can take Yuyang County, and please pay attention to it!"
Tian Yu originally thought that Liu Hejia came in to reward himself, and he was the one who defected to Liu He halfway, because he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which made many generals in the army admire him.
Now that the lord called himself in, he should be rewarded or encouraged, but now he has received the important task that Liu He said, but he is even more moved in his heart.
After all, he was sent to do an important task just after he came, and as long as he completed it, he would definitely be reused in the future, so Tian Yu hurriedly asked: "Lord, I don't know what important task it is?"
Liu He saw that Tian Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was also satisfied in his heart, so he said directly in a deep voice: "Guorang, now we have insufficient troops, but we still have 20,000 troops, Benhou wants you to lead them to serve us, how about it?"
Tian Yu was first frightened when he heard it, and then he was surprised, he didn't expect Liu He to be so bold, he actually dared to use 20,000 troops to surrender troops, and let himself command.
Tian Yu had a huge sense of trust in his heart, and he decided that he must play a role for Liu He's 20,000 troops.
When Liu He saw Tian Yu's surprised look, he knew that he was confident, Tian Yu was a famous hero in history who fought against the Huns, his ability was extraordinary, he was confident, and Liu He was naturally confident.
