Li Su received Gao Shun's urgent report on the Jiangdong front, saying that Guan Yu seemed to have made a major breakthrough in the north and had already divided his troops to cross the Yellow River south and open up the Yin passage in Henan.

Li Su was not a man who was in love with the war. It was already mid-September. Seeing that the Wujun Kuaiji area had persuaded him to surrender, the battle for an isolated city could not be overwhelmed, so he rushed back quickly.

In order to seize the time, Li Su himself did not choose the leisurely march method of taking the boat throughout the journey, but only took the boat for two days from Niuzhu to Chaisang.

From Chaisang to Wuchang, because it was not easy to go against the current, Li Su chose to ride a horse in person and rushed for another two days. Finally, it was the 22nd chapter of September.

Although Li Su in this life has a good life, she has not been obese because of her work and work. She mainly relies on easy and fun sports such as riding horses and swimming to maintain her muscle mass. Occasionally, she doesn't feel tired even if she rides for two days, but her whole body's energy has recovered.

Otherwise, for rich nobles, maintaining a figure is not that difficult. Because many exercises that cost a lot of money are actually fun and can have the effect of exercise.

Later generations of poor people in Western countries were obese. This was not only because rich people could discipline themselves, but also because rich people could afford to play the aristocratic movements that were fun and could persist without perseverance and willpower.

Of course, you won’t get tired of being able to play in different ways every day. If you can only run every day, the fat people among the rich will definitely increase exponentially.

During Li Su's departure, Lu Su was helping Li Su to take charge of the rear, coordinate Jing, hand over government affairs and logistics to the army ahead. When Li Su came back, Lu Su went out of the city dozens of miles in advance to greet him, and brought Gao Shun envoy who happened to arrive in Wuchang yesterday.

Li Su would not meet an old friend like Lu Su. They both buckled their shoulders and put their backs on their backs and talked about joy. After drinking, they joined the city together.

Lu Su took out the military information sent by Gao Shun: "Fortunately, after General Gao's messenger arrived yesterday, I told Sikong that he would return and stay in Wuchang soon, otherwise he would not miss it again.

The letter said that the Taiwei annihilated Zhang Liao in several battles in Hebei, forced Ju Zuo Que Yi to surrender, and wiped out a total of 200,000 enemies. Zhuge Xiandi also made great contributions to it. While the Taiwei sent the letter to General Gao, Zhuge Xiandididi should have just been sent by the Taiwei to Chang'an to report good news to His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty will soon ask Sikong for the next stage of war."

Lu Su was concise and briefly, briefly explaining what happened in the north, and Li Su reads the details himself.

Li Su rode on the horse and glanced briefly for a few minutes. When he entered the city and arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he had already finished reading and had a rough idea in his mind.

Several people sat in the main hall of the Governor's Office, and the maid placed tea, fruits, wine and food. Lu Su asked, "I don't know that Sikong thought that the Taiwei and Zhuge Brotherhood suggested His Majesty how to choose? How should we deal with it?"

Li Su took a plate of apricots placed in front of him by the bridge, took out a bite, and pondered: "From my understanding of A Liang, whether he will persuade His Majesty and Yun Chang to continue to make progress depends on the place of Sili and the extent of destruction after this war.

Just looking at the war report, it did not describe how the people in Hedong, Hanoi and Hedong were in trouble, but at least it was written that "Yuan Shao's army has been in stalemate for a long time, cholera has spread, and tens of thousands of people died of illness and fell ill." If this is true in the army, may the local people be completely spared?

Look at our bloody battle in Jiangdong this year. It has been a stalemate for several months. There were several bloody battles between the front and after, and more than 100,000 casualties on both sides of the officers and soldiers. The people died of plague and were probably hundreds of thousands of people who were displaced and starved. The places were destroyed, so how can we quickly advance from the enemy because of food?

Therefore, unless Aliang has another civil affairs appeasement plan that I could not even think of, which can make Shangdang, Hedong and Hanoi, he will probably not ask His Majesty to attack Yecheng in a hurry."

The logistics disaster that rushed to attack Yecheng and passed through the ruins of three counties was all detained to Liu Bei's camp.

Although Yuan Shao lost 200,000 people and more than 200,000, he was united in Yecheng, and he could not afford such logistical punishment.

After hearing this, Lu Su agreed and nodded, "Then, let's write to His Majesty, suggesting that according to the current trend, concentrate our efforts to seize Luoyang first? Then continue to attack Hebei after the beginning of spring next year?"

Li Su stretched out two fingers and analyzed: "This question needs to be divided into two parts, and it is definitely necessary to attack Luoyang. Moreover, what I said before does not attack Yecheng does not mean that we cannot pose any threatening posture to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's morale was sluggish and his fighting spirit was collapsed. One of the reasons was that he felt that the general was incompetent and had stepped into the old pit of the Battle of Changping, so everyone did not need to be killed and was extremely dispersed. But now the disaster of Changping has responded to the "oracle", and Yuan's morale will definitely be high in the subsequent Battle of Handan.

We might as well help us, lure Yuan Shao's army to concentrate their forces to defend Yecheng and transfer all the troops south of the Yellow River to facilitate our efforts to fight the Battle of Handan five hundred years ago. How did we win the final battle?

It wasn't "Xinling Jun stealing the talisman to save Zhao" that gave him the final confidence and completed the key blow to repel the Qin army. Otherwise, relying on the Zhao people alone would only kill and destroy the exhausted Qin army. In history, the Zhao people did not rely on external forces to eliminate the invading Qin army alone in the battle of defense of the capital.

The Battle of Handan was reinforced by the Wei people, and the Battle of Julu was supported by Xiang Yu's Chu army. Now, we should also spread rumors, pretending that it was spread by the local people in Hebei, saying:

If Yuan Shao did not invite the troops from Wei in Henan and Cao Cao in Wei to assist in defense, the troops from Yecheng would be destroyed and Yuan Shao would be destroyed. Only by inviting reinforcements from Wei to the rescue of Mr. Xinling of Wei could he repeat the rescue of Mr. Wei.

After Yuan Shao's army in Wei in Henan Province has left and Cao Cao has been drawn and weak, we will attack Wei again and completely take down the entire territory of Yin in Henan Province. Luoyang will be much smoother."

When Lu Su heard this, his eyes suddenly became straight.

Damn! Brother Boya is indeed so silly!

He only thought that after the "Changping Oracle" was fulfilled, the people of Zhao would use the "Handan Oracle" as a psychological construction of self-motivation and share the same hatred for the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Brother Boya thought about it for two more steps: Are you looking for historical basis and psychological comfort? Brother helps you find two more steps forward! One step is to find "Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao", and then take out the "Daliang" position of "Xinling Jun" to attack.

If it is empty, it is solid, and if it is solid, it is empty.

The first step makes you feel that you have not fallen into history and repeat the story.

The second step makes you feel that you have fallen into history and repeated it, but history has not repeated it.

Whether it is repeated or not, Li Su will take advantage of it and deceive you until you die.

"Sikong...are good ideas!" Lu Su was fascinated for a long time, but he could not think of a single word of strategy to improve Li Su.

He got Gao Shun's information half a day earlier than Li Su, but even if he thought about it for a long time, he was not as quick as Li Sugang's brain speed less than half an hour after reading the letter.

There is no way. Maybe Zhuge Liang is a conspiracy, but Lu Su is not. Lu Su is also a great sage with high IQ and great political talents. Unfortunately, this subdivision is not his specialty.

Li Su did not take Lu Su's admiration as a pride, so he followed wherever he was. His Yin spirit was stimulated, and by the way, he used his foresight on the characteristics of historical figures to continue boldly deducing:

"And for us, winning Luoyang is not the most important thing. Because even if we don't use my detailed operation strategy, Yun Chang can still win Luoyang with dignity.

In the end, my actions were just about to end in one or two months, and at the same time, I saved Luoyang from a new war, so that the people's strength and city facilities could be better protected.

But if I don’t just look at the results, but also look at some hidden gains that seem to be without vagueness, my plan can produce more indescribable wonderful things:

Yuan Shao is a person who is restless and has always pursued the perfection of historic images in later generations. Once his intellectual image is severely damaged, he will never recover. Now the information says that Yuan Shao is suspected to be seriously ill and has not yet had arisen for a long time, which is also a circumstance.

Yuan and Cao are in a hurry to face the current situation, so they all stand together and share the same hatred against the enemy. We have to face the Kanto soldiers and horses who are united in the same direction. Although we can also unify the world, we will inevitably kill too much in the process and the losses of the people will be even greater.

Yuan Shao’s biggest hidden worries now are not outside, but within the Xiao Wall. Yuan Shao spoiled his young children, and the eldest son was disorderly, and after all, he did not usurp the throne as the king. After his death, he could only pass the throne to his son as a duke, and the general could not pass the throne rightfully.

If Yuan Shao was able to get into a trap again and again, and make everyone in the world realize that Yuan's family was retreating step by step, every time it was because of Yuan Shao's short-spokenness and severely hit him from his reputation. Maybe it would be unknown if Yuan Shao was angry to death within one or two years.

At that time, can Cao Cao take the opportunity to oppose Yuan Shao's "destroy the eldest and establish the youngest" when he was dying? As long as Yuan Shao's sons have internal conflicts and Cao Cao takes the opportunity to steal the capital, His Majesty can also attack with the flow and divide Yuan Shao's land.

At that time, perhaps the army can capture a state or even more without bloodshed. Isn’t it better than the rushing attack now and forcing Yuan Cao to fight to the death."

It was not that Liu Bei could not fight head-on, but the overall cost was lower and the harm to the country was less. Of course, it would be more preferred.

In this year's Battle of Hebei, there were two million people, including the army and civilians, especially the plague and starvation. The combined number of Jiangdong and the two sides also decreased by one million. It is estimated that the total population of the Han Dynasty has dropped from 40 million to 37 million.

Don’t think that you die a lot. The epidemic in the late Han Dynasty was almost bound to large-scale battles. With a miracle doctor like Zhang Ji, it would reduce the death of the troops. However, the people in the war zone really didn’t care so much, and the technological level and medical infrastructure of the times were not supported.

After the battle in Hebei, the population of Shangdang in Hedong and Henoi was halved, and other neighboring counties that provided logistics support also suffered population losses of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

However, the remaining 37 million people have accounted for 19 million. Before the war, Liu Bei's territory was between 16 and 17 million. During the battle, his own jurisdiction was reduced by one million, but he occupied more than three million people, and finally this data was found.

The remaining territory of Yuan and Cao was only 18 million. From this perspective, after destroying Sun Quan's Jiangdong Territory (the Jiangbei part surrendered to Cao Cao), it was the first time that Liu Bei's camp truly achieved the total population of the jurisdiction, exceeding the sum of the total population of other princes in the Han Dynasty.
