Chapter 138 Arrangement
"What do you think of Pan Feng and Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia took out a piece of information about Pan Feng's various battles and battles in the past: "Although this person is from a grassroots background, he seems to have a relatively complete martial arts inheritance. Judging from his performance before Hulao Pass, this person should be the same as Wen
It’s similar in Taiwan, they all have martial arts passed down from their families.”
"Also, in the battle of Jizhou, although this man was defeated by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, but with 70,000 enemies against 100,000 enemies, in the end Yuan Shao's army was damaged by less than half, and Pan Feng's army was damaged by more than 80% before it collapsed. This man should have awakened the legion
Talent, and it should be to strengthen one's own will or combat skills."
When an ordinary army fights, its morale will basically be depleted if it loses 30% of its troops. If it loses more than 50% and is not defeated, it can basically be called an elite. But Pan Feng's 70,000-strong army can only collapse after losing more than 80% of its troops. Guo Jiacai did
made these inferences.
After all, these 70,000 troops can't all be at the same level as being trapped in the camp and ascending first! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others.
Yuan Shu scratched his head: "The talent of this legion is not weak, but it seems that it is not suitable for us who fight with elite soldiers! This talent should be suitable for leading miscellaneous soldiers and winning by quantity."
Guo Jiadao: "My lord is right. But this is not necessarily true. What I said before is just Jia's guess. You have to ask Pan Feng himself for the specific situation. In any case, Pan Feng is a top general, basically the one from Wentai
hierarchical."
Guo Jia's evaluation is not low. Among Yuan Shu's generals, Sun Jian is second only to Huang Zhong. Currently, he is much stronger than the still somewhat immature Zhang Liao and others.
Yuan Shu nodded. Just as he needs more internal affairs counselors, among military generals, Yuan Shu also needs more generals, rather than those who are good at single combat. For example, Dian Wei and Xu Chu around Yuan Shu are both good at single combat, but they are not good at single combat.
Lead troops in battle.
This kind of one-on-one generals may be stronger when leading ordinary troops in battle, but in battles between elite troops, their role is very limited.
However, Yuan Shu's men followed the route of elite troops. There were less than 300,000 troops in Jingyang and Yangzhou. If you look at Yuan Shao, a Bohai County can pull out more than 100,000 troops.
Not only are all the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command elite, they are at least quasi-elite. After two tough battles, they will basically become elite.
In battles between elite legions, the morale effect brought by dueling generals is relatively small. For example, if you are trapped in a camp, you can let Lu Bu lead an army of 10,000 in front, and Gao Shun's soldiers can rush forward without changing their expressions.
Cut them all down.
What the mixed soldiers and ordinary soldiers compete for is belief and morale, while the effect of the morale of soldiers reaching elite soldiers or above is basically not affected much, and what they compete for is hard power.
This is why Gongsun Zan initially envied Liu Bei, but did not force Guan Zhang to be his subordinate. Because at that time, Guan and Zhang did not have the talent to awaken the legion, and they were just ordinary men of courage, so Gongsun Zan didn't care too much.
The troops under his command are all elites who have been fighting against the foreign tribes in the north for many years. With just ten thousand soldiers, Gongsun Zan can kill Guan Zhang who led the same number of troops.
It's just that he didn't expect that in the battle of Guanzhang Hulao, he would directly break through to the super-class generals, and they even had the potential to awaken the legion's talent. I think Gongsun Zan would regret it after learning about it.
"So what do you think of Zhao Yun?"
Yuan Shu asked Guo Jia again what he thought of this general he liked very much. Of course, he was just a newbie now.
Guo Jiaping said: "This person should have the inheritance of a famous teacher, first-class martial arts, and benevolent and righteous character, but he seems to have a lot of obsession with the big man."
Yuan Shu chuckled and said: "I'm afraid there is only one first-class general like him who is loyal to the Han Dynasty."
"But my lord doesn't need to care, right?"
Yuan Shu nodded: "Of course, it is justifiable for me to conquer Jingzhou, take over the province, and then conquer Yizhou, and even take Xiliang. Who can find out the moral problem? So what if you are loyal to the Han? Follow me
As time goes by, he will naturally understand what he should be loyal to."
Yuan Shu knew that Zhao Yun was not the kind of stupid and loyal man. You must know that in history, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, captured Yizhou, and even finally became emperor. Isn't he still loyal to Liu Bei? Yuan Shu doesn't believe that he has changed to someone who has more popular support among the people.
Zhao Yun can run away by himself.
Moreover, the wars initiated by Yuan Shu were all legitimate. For example, in Jingzhou, the other party made the first move, while in Jiaozhou, the other party took the initiative to surrender.
As for the next Yizhou, Liu Yan is a piece of shit. He suddenly creates public opinion and steals artifacts. This alone is enough to make Yuan Shu's next attack justifiable.
Speaking of which, Liu Yan, the old man, is really a scammer. He is simply a traitor to the old Liu family. He has to shoulder a small part of the blame for the troubled times. The "abolition of history and animal husbandry" proposed by this guy directly led to the formation of many separatist warlords in various places. Including this one
After taking office, all state pastors, including Huo, were basically no longer under the control of the imperial court.
Just for his own benefit, this guy pushed the Han Dynasty when it was in the most critical situation. If Liu Bang knew about it, he would probably get angry and slap this guy to death.
This guy came to Yizhou because he heard that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to live up to the emperor's addiction. After arriving in Yizhou, he decisively cut off contact with the court and privately built more than a thousand chariots.
proclaim oneself emperor.
Yuan Shu will not report to the court to stop this guy like Liu Biao in history. He loves to claim emperor and seek death, so Yuan Shu will naturally not stop him.
If this guy really becomes emperor, Yuan Shu will probably laugh to death. If he does this, Yuan Shu's difficulty in taking Yizhou will be reduced by more than half, and it will also damage the reputation of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yan is simply a pig
Teammate, fortunately he is from the Liu family of the Han Dynasty and is hostile to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu's eyes flashed: "Fengxiao, please find someone to encourage Liu Yan and try to make this matter a reality. By the way, please contact the Xiang Han people in Yizhou."
"Yes, lord."
Then Yuan Shu smiled evilly and said: "In the next six months, we should also look for trouble with Liu Bei. Fengxiao, who do you think is more appropriate to send?"
Guo Jia said without thinking: "Zhou Gongjin and Sun Ce have also grown up, why not send them to give it a try?"
Yuan Shu thought for a moment and nodded: "Gong Jin has grown rapidly this year and is basically able to take charge of his own business. Let him lead an army and give it a try. Let Zhou Tai and Yu Jin follow him to avoid any accidents.
Also, take Zhao Yun with you."
Yuzhou is the base camp of the Yuan family. Regardless of whether you look at the monk or the Buddha, Yuan Shu is still a member of the Yuan family after all. Although those old guys will not cooperate with Yuan Shu, they will certainly not cooperate with Liu Bei.
Under this relatively fair situation, the safety of Zhou Yu and others can still be guaranteed. After all, with the existence of Zhou Tai, the third bodyguard in the world, and Zhao Yun, at least running away will not be a problem.
Guo Jia nodded and thought to himself: It seems that Yu Wenze and Zhao Zilong have great potential! The Lord is so concerned about them.
That's right, Yuan Shu regarded Liu Bei as a whetstone, letting his more promising young generals hone their skills.
Liu Bei has Guan Zhang under his command, and his combat power is considered top-notch, enough to give him a 50-50 fight with the still somewhat immature Zhou Yu. Moreover, with the restraints of Sun Jian and Zhang Liao, Liu Bei does not dare to go too far. It is relatively safe and challenging.
