Chapter 161: The War That Is About to Begin

"Exactly!" Cao Wei nodded and said, "I think that Wang Jun is over sixty years old, if he doesn't want to become Yuan Shao, and the situation will collapse after his death, then the sooner Wang Jun fights with the county prince, the greater the advantage for him."

Now that he has handled the relationship with Shi Le first, and then formulated an armistice agreement with Liu Kun, it can be said that he has no worries.

If I were Wang Jun, I would definitely fight to the death with us this year, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

When Liu Tai heard Cao Wei's words, he also had some thoughts that the hero saw the same thing.

At this time, Liu Tai looked at Cao Wei and said, "According to what Uncle Cao said, how should we deal with it!" ”

Cao Wei pondered and said, "Although Liu Kun and Wang Jun joined forces, Liu Kun failed to pass through Jizhou at the beginning, and it was Wang Jun who made great efforts.

We don't know exactly what happened, but I'm sure the two of them are on good terms.

As long as we can gain the upper hand, even if Liu Kun will not act because of the alliance, I believe that he will take advantage of Wang Jun. ”

When Liu Tai heard Cao Wei's words, he also nodded with a little approval and said, "Let's not mention Liu Kun first, what about Shile?" ”

"As for Shiler, it's even simpler!" Chu Yu said,

"Yuanyan's arrival has become a buffer between us and Shile, so that Shile will not easily fight with us.

Even if he has the heart and wants to be our enemy, it is not easy to be afraid! ”

Liu Tai nodded when he heard Chu Yu's words, then shook his head and said, "Shi Le should not be underestimated.

On the surface, this person does not seem to be bad at fighting frontal wars, but he can be defeated without dying, which is enough to see his ability to govern the army.

In any case, we need to send an army to guard against Shile, otherwise if he forcibly comes from Qinghe County, we will be in great trouble! ”

"Shilong has such ambitions?!" When Chen Yuanda heard Liu Tai's words, he was inevitably a little surprised.

"I don't know!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "The only thing I know is that I have a grudge against him, this feud is inevitable, and my fight with Wang Jun is at least a great opportunity for him!" ”

Liu Tai knew very well that it was very difficult for him to make peace with Shi Le.

After all, he is the heir of Wang Mi's inheritance, so avenging Wang Mi is almost something he has to do.

In such a situation, if one day he makes peace or forms an alliance with Shile, his basic position will be shaken.

Shi Le also knew this, so Liu Tai definitely believed that Shi Le would also expect it, and he would guard against him.

Chen Yuanda couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, to be honest, in Chen Yuanda's opinion, even if Wang Mi has been dead for a few years, Liu Yao, Shi Le and Liu Tai can still be said to be the troika of the Han Dynasty to conquer the world, and they can be described as the pillars of the country.

As a result, now Liu Tai and Wang Jun are going to have a decisive battle, and the first thing to guard against is actually their own Shile. This has to be said ironic.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Yuanda felt that he couldn't even give Liu Tai a guarantee to restrain Shi Le.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanda's heart was full of discomfort, how did this big man get to this point!

Obviously, the Han Dynasty even defeated the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty gave the captives to death, so it can be said that the situation of the entire Han Dynasty could not be better, why suddenly the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was addicted to wine, and the generals below had a deep hatred for each other.

Chen Yuanda thought of this, but he felt so dignified, why did the big man look like he was about to finish!

I don't understand, I really don't understand, but it doesn't matter if I understand it now or not, the most important thing is to help Liu Tai defeat Wang Jun.

After all, Liu Tai is a very important fulcrum of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Jun is also an important force in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Chen Yuanda can be sure that this war between Wang Jun and Liu Tai almost decided the final situation between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty in Jizhou, Youzhou and other northern lands.

Therefore, Chen Yuanda tried his best to win this war no matter what.

"Let's not talk about Shile's affairs first, just let the sorghum go and take precautions when the time comes!" Liu Tai said,

"But there is another thing, that is, Gou Xi, the forces around us, the north has no borrowed power.

The territory of Yanzhou is even more barrier-wide, families are everywhere, and there is no one who serves the public, and Taishan County is naturally stable.

In contrast, if Wang Jun really fought to the death with us, then he should be able to use any power he wanted.

If it were me, I would definitely contact Gou Xi and try to fight on both sides! ”

"That's right!" Chu Yu opened his mouth and said, "Gou Chun has not returned for a long time, and I think he stayed in Xuzhou." ”

"Gou Xi......" Liu Tai thought for a moment and said, "I will deal with Gou Xi's affairs, but we can't let Wang Jun live so comfortably, isn't it the autumn harvest, it's better to send Zhao An to Youzhou to loot first!" ”

"Are we going to take the initiative?!" When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they couldn't help but show a little surprise.

Because Wang Jun has a large number of cavalry in his hands, in addition to the red blood cavalry, Wang Jun himself also has a cavalry.

In such a situation, Wang Jun occupied the absolute initiative, and everyone originally thought about how to defend in winter.

Absolutely did not expect that Liu Tai would actually take the initiative to attack at this time, and he aimed at Wang Jun's grain.

"Naturally, we are going to attack!" Liu Tai said unceremoniously,

"Wisdom will feed the enemy. Eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; One stone, when I have twenty stones.

If he raises troops in anger, food will inevitably become Wang Jun's greatest weakness.

If he endures and chooses to continue accumulating food, then we will have more time to accumulate strength! ”

Liu Tai knows very well that when he waits until next year, as his steel production climbs up, it will not be certain who will have the initiative at that time.

No matter how strong the cavalry of this era is, it still has to rely on the infantry in the final battle!

When the time comes, I will put on Wang Jun's full-body armor soldiers, and see who fights with whom at that time!

The few people present couldn't help but glance at each other, no one objected in the end, in the end, it was just looting food.

After all, from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings to the present, there have been too many murders, slaughtering cities and villages, and starvation.

Don't even say it, as long as you choose not to surrender, and then take down the city and slaughter the city, I don't know how many!

In contrast, Liu Tai asked Zhao An to take advantage of the autumn harvest to attack Youzhou, which is too morally worth mentioning.

At this time, Chen Yuanda was slightly stunned, and said with a serious expression, "The county prince decided to let General Zhao loot the grain and grass in Youzhou, and I have no objection.

But whether to prepare for retreat first, after all, the cavalry on the Youzhou side is worthy of the attention of our army! ”

Chen Yuanda was not familiar with Liu Tai's army, but he knew that Youzhou was better at cavalry, otherwise he would not be so passive.

In fact, in Liu Tai's opinion, as long as Zhao An follows the battle plan behind enemy lines, after going to Youzhou to attack a wave, he will directly shrink back to Jizhou in pieces, not to mention foolproof, but at least he can advance and retreat to a certain extent.

In the final analysis, compared to the vast majority of armies in this era, it is necessary to have a relatively top-notch commander to command.

And as long as Zhao An's army tells him the strategies that the commanders and military historians in the army need to do, then they themselves will implement the corresponding tactics.

In terms of organization and discipline, Zhao An's army is the highest in his army.

If Wang Jun wants to deal with this army, it will often appear, it is too large to capture them, and if the scale is too small, it will be beaten by this army.

After all, this army is relatively good at the war mode of less than 100 people, so it is just right for them to fight guerrillas.

Speaking of which, Chen Yuanda was not so worried about whether this army would be violently beaten, but rather worried about the psychological pressure on Zhao An's army caused by the destruction of the autumn harvest.

After all, although the soldiers in this army are not the Holy Mother, they are more or less the kind of soldiers who have a good impression of the Li people.

Giving this order on their own will cause some psychological stress or moral condemnation to them.

Of course, this kind of ideological problem is left to the military historians to solve, otherwise, what is the purpose of arranging a military historian in each of their cantonment teams, isn't it just to solve their psychological problems?

And how to put on the cloak of sacredness and then do bloody things basically depends on how dirty the literati's mind is.

"It really needs to be taken seriously." Liu Tai agreed, "However, we also need to believe in our soldiers, and the only thing we need to do is to prepare them for logistics!" ”

When Chen Yuanda saw Liu Tai say such words, he didn't say anything more.

Because Chen Yuanda knew that although he was a nail buried by Liu Cong in Liu Tai's place, he was alone in Liu Tai's place, and the army did not dare to get involved easily.

Therefore, Chen Yuanda will remind the things that should be reminded, and the things that should be admonished will also be admonished, but Chen Yuanda will not be too deep, because once it is too deep, then he may find his own death.

Liu Tai nodded and said: "After Zhao An harassed, he will retreat back to Jizhou, no matter whether the other party chases him out or not, he must let the people do a good job of retreating, and reduce the damage caused by the war to the people as much as possible." ”

Liu Tai said and glanced at everyone present, and soon fell on Zhang Song.

"I'll leave the logistics to me!" Zhang Song said to Liu Tai, "I will coordinate the logistics in the north of Jizhou!" ”

Because since the last battle of Nanpicheng, Zhang Song was mainly responsible for going to Yuanyan to buy and sell people.

There is no way, Liu Tai needs too many human resources, farming, salt, weaving, coal, and steel, so long as it is a person, Liu Tai wants to get him to work.

And this era is the best era for the capitalists, because all they need to give the people is food, and there is no need to pay wages at all.

Of course, in order to consume the materials, Liu Tai himself will still give some money.

Because they have a monopoly on the resources of the entire region, and they still need to fight, the war itself will consume the products that are constantly being produced.

In such a situation, if the common people don't give money, it doesn't make sense to think about it

Because of this, Liu Tairuo said that it would not be good to treat the people who came through this trade, but in this troubled world, being able to buy and sell them, and then give them jobs and food, is the greatest benevolence in itself.

In this way, to some extent, Zhang Song is the largest human trafficker in the entire Jizhou, so he knows the situation in the northern part of Jizhou best.

Liu Tai said to Zhang Song, "Then the logistics of our outpost with Youzhou will be handed over to you!" ”

"Where are the transfer points for the supplies going to be located?" Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's words and said with some doubts.

For Zhang Song, at least he knows what he can't lose, so he can make a comprehensive arrangement around this point.

When Liu Tai heard Zhang Song's words, he nodded and said, "It's still Nanpi City, the northern counties of Jizhou are our buffer zone with Youzhou, if the Youzhou cavalry is under Nanpi City, then we can't retreat." ”

Liu Tai knew that a very important point in fighting guerrilla warfare was to need the help of the local people.

Liu Tai knew that as long as he fought with Youzhou, the battlefield would inevitably be in the north of Jizhou, which was the inevitable result of the lack of cavalry.

In addition to wanting to defend against the enemy, Liu Tai has this mind, but he really doesn't have the ability.

Therefore, Liu Tai built the northern part of Jizhou according to the battlefield, and encouraged them to build walls as much as possible in each village, and at the same time implemented the government and military system, appropriately giving benefits to the local people, so as to brush the favorability of the local people.

At the same time, some of Zhao An's troops also remained in the northern part of Jizhou, in order to get acquainted with the local people and facilitate work behind enemy lines.

In other words, when the other side troops are in the city, the northern part of Jizhou will become the base of Zhao An's troops behind enemy lines.

And Zhao An's troops don't need to do anything else, as long as they create a crisis of food shortages behind Wang Jun's back.

Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nanpi City? I'm familiar with this place in Jizhou, so leave it to me! ”

"I will order Wang Junshou to assist in the defense, and at the same time, Qingzhou materials will also be transported to Nanpicheng one after another.

After all, if Nanpi City is besieged, I am afraid that it will not be able to get supplies for at least half a year! Liu Tai said to Zhang Song.

"I see!" Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's words and nodded to Liu Tai.

"Then will our follow-up army be ready?" Chu Yi looked at Zhang Song and agreed to this task, and couldn't help but say.

Liu Taidao, "Yes."

However, it also depends on the progress of the situation, at least in front of the opponent's sword guide, and it is not necessary to mobilize too much.

After all, our army is more professional and can be assembled much faster than the old army.

Even if you want to go to the front, you can do it directly, this is our advantage, so there is no need to mobilize now! ”

When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's statement, he nodded approvingly and said:

"But when I look at the general, I still have a little worry in my heart, why don't I say it and see if I can solve it!?"

"I'm just thinking about Gou Xi!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "Although he kept Gou Chun, it means that he does have a little antipathy towards us."

But I'm not sure when Gou Chun will make a move on us, and I'm just a little apprehensive in my heart.

Although he has been defeated, it is undeniable that he is a fool, and anyone who despises him will inevitably pay the price. ”

"What does the general mean?" At this moment, Chu Yi looked at Liu Tai but said with a little doubt.

"Maybe the trick that was originally intended to be used on Wang Jun needs to be used on Gou Xi first!" Liu Tai replied.
