Guan Yu thought about it and felt that what Guo Jia said still made sense.

Earlier, when they were still in Liangzhou, he had heard Liu Bei say a word.

Military is an extension of politics, and all military affairs are aimed at achieving political goals, and all politics will also be based on military as the basis for the final solution.

For this reason, a wise ruler will use military force for a clear and advantageous political purpose, otherwise it would be called reckless militarism.

Liu Bei built the Jiangnan Military Region and mobilized a large army to go south to clean up the Yellow Turban Army, and in order to bring Jiangnan into the scope of his rule, it was for the sake of population, land, taxes, and resources.

In other words, for the sake of development, in order to achieve this goal, the military will be used, not the military for the sake of the military.

After figuring this out, Guan Yu felt that what Guo Jia said made some sense.

Shanyue is spread over most of the entire Yangzhou region, and almost every county in the Jiangnan region has traces of Shanyue's activities. How many years will it take to get rid of them?

At present, the most effective way for the Han army to attack is to burn the fierce fire oil tank to Lao Tzu, so if it continues to fight like this, will it be possible to burn the entire Jiangnan with the fierce fire oil tank in the end?

How much fierce fire oil does that need?

Can the imperial court supply it?

The Han army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, if it puts on a posture of killing Shanyue at this time, although it can deter Xiaoxiao, it will undoubtedly add a lot of costs to subsequent political actions.

Liu Bei told him that before the launch of the slave restriction operation, the affairs of the world were still divided into three parts politics and seven parts military, but after the slave restriction operation was launched, he would have to fully transition to three parts military and seven points politics.

He must give full play to his strategic deterrent power, bring this deterrent power into full play, and not use force until the necessary moment, and even if force is used, it must be targeted and accurately attacked.

Not only does this save money, but it also invisibly expands the amount of deterrence.

After gaining prestige, you can't always use violence to solve problems, violence is a means, but not an end.

Mature rulers should be cautious about using violence, so they will use the last resort against Danyang Shanyue, which is very detrimental to Liu Bei's career.

Kill the Yellow Turban Army, beat the Yellow Turban, not Shanyue, in order to deter goodwill, with carrots in one hand and a big stick in the other, a wise leader of Shanyue should know that he does not have many options.

Guan Yu is loyal, absolutely loyal, and he is very willing to think about Liu Bei's career.

He has always believed that his own merits and Liu Bei's career should be relegated, and Liu Bei's career is the most important, and under this, it is his credit.

Liu Bei is not only his boss, his guide, his benefactor, and the person who single-handedly changed his otherwise tragic fate, but also a mentor who imparts him necessary knowledge and guides him to grow.

Several important key points were stacked together, which made Guan Yu feel that Liu Bei's interests were always the first thing he had to consider, and his own credit was not the most important.

So he quickly thought of this joint, and thought that Guo Jia's thoughts and thoughts were also for long-term consideration, and he agreed with Guo Jia's point of view.

If this kid has always had such an attitude, then Guan Yu feels that long-term cooperation with him is not something that cannot be considered.

"If that's what you think, then I'll support you, when are you going to negotiate with those Shanyue thieves?"

"After the New Year's Festival, during the New Year's Festival, we should do a big job, take out all the wine and meat, and surround the thieves' lair, let's celebrate the New Year's Festival, drink wine and eat meat, and be very happy, the best joyful sound can even be heard by the thieves, and the aroma of eating meat can also be smelled by the thieves, so that they know how rich our reserves are."

Guo Jia picked up the wine glass, drank the still warm wine in it in one gulp, and then showed a wicked smile.

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant.

What subtle changes will happen to a group of besieged people, besieged people who are very miserable and short of supplies, if they find that the besieged people can drink wine and eat meat and celebrate the New Year with joy?

Not to mention the yellow scarf, what will Shanyue think?

Guan Yu's perennial expressionless face showed a hint of a smile.

Somehow, he suddenly felt that this little white face that didn't look pleasing to the eye before now looked more and more pleasing to the eye.

He inexplicably felt that this little white-faced person had a bit of Liu Bei's youthful demeanor, and back then, Liu Bei had repeatedly used clever tricks at such a moment, leading them to obtain the greatest results at the lowest cost.

After deciding on the strategy, Guan Yu ordered to go down, and there would be no more fighting in the next few days, in addition to maintaining daily vigilance and training, everyone should celebrate the New Year of Jian'an for the next five years.

The Central Han Army has always been very secure in terms of food supply, and the food supply has never been stretched, three meals a day, two dry and one thin, and there will never be a shortage of soldiers.

When there is no combat mission, the soldiers' diet is relatively simple, mainly based on food and food, cooking rice in a big pot, stir-frying vegetables in a large pot, and putting some oil and water on the table, which can basically meet the needs of the soldiers.

There are fewer meats, vegetables and fruits, and it is a relatively normal frequency to eat once every three days, counting on eating every day, even if Liu Bei can afford to spend that money, the speed of material supply cannot keep up.

When performing combat missions, the standard of food for soldiers will be raised, the supply of protein foods such as meat will be increased, and the supply of fuel will also be increased, so that soldiers can increase their energy reserves.

In terms of food, Liu Bei has never been short of vegetables, fruits and vegetables are more precious, it is difficult to plant, and it is not easy to supply, but according to the plan, a part of the area is specially planted for the use of vegetables and fruits for the court and the army.

Both the imperial court and the military had special plans for the supply of fruits and vegetables.

The meat aspect is relatively simple.

In the three large animal husbandry areas of Liangzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, there are more than 7 million cattle, sheep and horses in the livestock being raised, and basically the vast majority of the meat supply of the Han army comes from this.

When the imperial court needed it, it would order the land of Sanzhou to be selected and transported to Luoyang for slaughter, and then provided to the army.

If there is a southward march, it is slaughtered on the spot, salted or dried, and the meat is stored on the grassland to increase the storage period of meat, rather than being attached to fresh meat.

Of course, the taste of fresh meat is good, but first, cattle and sheep and other livestock go south far, afraid that they will lose fat on the road, and secondly, fresh meat is more troublesome to store, and cured meat and air-dried meat have a longer storage period, which is not easy to spoil At present, there is no shortage of salt, this way is an excellent storage method with low cost.

On the other hand, Liu Bei also implemented a family livestock storage plan within the collective farm, arranging for the collective farm to concentrate on raising some poultry and livestock, such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc., especially pigs, and when the imperial court needed it, it would be specially purchased in a centralized manner.

In the Han Dynasty, the pig breeding industry has been unprecedentedly developed, and there has been a way to raise pigs in captivity, but the position of captivity is a bit awkward, and pigs are generally kept next to the toilet.

However, the feed for pigs is not given by Ollie, mainly aquatic duckweed and algae, supplemented by medicinal seedlings and kitchen residues, basically people eat what is leftover, they will be given to pigs.

Of course, at this moment, there has also been a castration technique, but the spread is relatively slow, it is not very common, only a few areas have castration technology, most areas do not, so the pork is not very tasty, and the taste is not very tender.

After Liu Bei came to power, he made some changes in this regard.
