…

"But even if you prepare so many supplies, it's not much use, the kind of big plain in the north of Jizhou, you can't solve the problem with materials alone." Liu Ye put down the information in his hand and said calmly.

"The last fiasco is still vivid, Yuan Shao can't be unprepared, and what Yuan Shao has prepared, even if he can't win a big victory, at least he can ensure that he is undefeated." Lu Su looked at the things on the intelligence and said with a little speculation.

"But in the plain area, defeat the White Horse Yicong, this difficulty..."After Liu Ye said this question, he directly turned his gaze to Zhao Yun and asked casually, "Zilong, you lead the White Horse Yicong, on the pure plain, do you believe that you will lose?" ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at Liu Ye with some doubts, not understanding why Yuan Shao talked about himself again?

"There are many talented people in the world, even on the plains, with the same number of people, I can't guarantee that I can win." Zhao Yun thought about what Liu Ye said, and finally replied cautiously.

"You see, you are as cautious and humble as Zilong, and you all believe that you will not lose, let alone Gongsun Bogui!" After Liu Ye heard Zhao Yun's words, he turned his head directly and said to the others.

Zhao Yun was completely blindsided after hearing it, when did he say that he would not lose?

Can you still understand it that way?

What's even more outrageous is that after Liu Ye said this, no one objected.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun began to examine his heart, is he so strong?

Of course, this kind of doubt has not continued, and the topic of conversation is still ongoing.

"Although there is no specific information, according to the materials prepared by Yuan Shao, it can also be roughly inferred, is this a preparation for a protracted war?" Fanqin looked at some of the materials on the intelligence and said with a little speculation.

"Protracted war! With the killing speed of Gongsun Baima, how could there be a protracted war? Liu Ye shook his head directly after hearing this.

If Gongsun Chan fights a protracted battle with others, there will be people who defeat Baima Yicong on the plains, just like they can't believe it and it's hard to understand.

"Since everyone has a lot of speculation, we have vetoed a lot of unlikely possibilities, but these materials can't be faked, and there is a large-scale mobilization of manpower, which reveals that Yuan Shao's action this time is not simple." Chen Xi looked at the data on the intelligence and calculated it a little, not knowing how much money was invested in it.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Xi.

"Such large-scale materials can not be counted, but the mobilization of more than 200,000 people is not a small amount of money and food." Chen Xi gently tapped on the table and said to everyone.

Among those present, there were many people who had experienced cash-for-work and naturally knew how much food would cost to mobilize 200,000 laborers.

"This is not necessarily, Yuan Benchu may not spend much money, or even need to spend money, just need to pay for food, after all, Jizhou is not short of food." After Chen Xi finished speaking, Jia Xu calmly added, "Do you still need to spend money to recruit and transfer conscription manpower?" ”

Only then did everyone present react, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

It has always been a cash-for-work, paying wages to workers, and then letting workers work, and even most of them are daily settlements, and they have become a habit and forget that there is still such a situation.

"Zichuan, since we can conscript conscripts to work, why should we pay wages, isn't this a proper waste of money?" Liu Ye changed his attitude in an instant, turned around and looked at Chen Xi, and asked suspiciously.

According to the consumption of this time, if it is used as a conscription, the money saved is hundreds of millions of dollars.

Chen Xi shook his head at this, looked at the people present, and was ready to popularize the basic economic structure to everyone, but he didn't have time to speak.

"Forget it, Zichuan Ling must have a reason to do this, so I won't ask." Liu Ye continued, directly blocking Chen Xi's words.

Because Chen Xi will definitely be able to find a sufficient reason to convince him, and if he is persuaded, he will naturally add a bunch of extra workload.

Now he has a lot of work to do, and there is no need to increase it at all.

Fanqin and Lu Su glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"However, from this aspect, Yuan Shao's capital is indeed large enough, and he has recruited 200,000 conscripts, and if you add the supporting food escorts, management personnel, etc., the mobile staff has exceeded 300,000." A hint of admiration flashed in Jia Xu's eyes.

Faced with this kind of decision, he didn't even know if he could win, Yuan Shao wanted to gamble on the outcome of the war.

Yuan Shao with this kind of appearance, his courage is really terrifying.

After carefully comparing the gap between Jizhou and Mount Tai, Chen Xi found the biggest problem.

Although the number of people in Taishan's cash-for-work is larger, most of them are close to the principle, and there is no need to run far away, and even many can live in their own homes, which does not affect the residence at all.

Even some cash-for-work projects that need to be arrived from afar have been prepared in advance, including places to live, food, roads, etc., all of which have been properly resettled.

And Yuan Shao's behavior is like forcibly taking people to a certain place to work and labor directly, and the only thing that can be guaranteed is food.

As for accommodation and the like, it can only be said to be reluctant.

It's just such a simple difference, the food consumption of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

If the grain consumption of the workers of Mount Tai is still close to that of the peasants, then the conscription in Jizhou is not at all lower than that of the soldiers who went out to fight.

Thinking about such a huge number of Jizhou, which is equivalent to dispatching two or three hundred thousand troops at the same time, it is no wonder that it is called a big deal.

You must know that Liu Bei, who has a population of nearly 6 million, excluding the Tuntian soldiers who are rotated, the total number of the main battle troops plus the guard troops in various places does not exceed 200,000.

"No way, who let this be Jizhou, the foundation is not generally strong, there is still some hope in the world except for Yuzhou, and there is a big gap between other states and counties, including Xuzhou." Liu Ye showed a wry smile on his face.

The state and county chosen by the Yuan family have too great an innate advantage, which makes people have to wonder, how long in advance did the Yuan family start planning?

After all, the state and county where Eryuan is located only need to simply expand around, and then merge the north and south, and the world can be stable.

Other remote states and counties did not even have the power to resist, and the world had already changed hands.

But fortunately, whether it was Yuan Shu, who was cut by Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao, who was suppressed by Gongsun Zhan, they did not achieve their strategic goals.

So they still have time to develop their forces and lay a solid foundation for the challenges ahead.
