"Yuan Benchu's general Yan Liang led 20,000 cavalry, together with the 50,000 cavalry company of the Southern Huns. It has been one day since Yuyang sent troops, and the target is directly aimed at our Liaodong." Jia Mu took the latest intelligence report.

All civil and military officials from Liaodong gathered together, and this place can be said to be an independent world isolated overseas.

As the person in charge of Liaodong, Chen Gong sat on the main seat, with civil and military personnel sitting on the left and right. In the middle was a huge sand table, on which was the detailed topography of Liaodong, including every fortress and every mountain.

They are all displayed on it almost exactly. This is the result of Chen Gong spending nearly half a year and using countless manpower and material resources.

After Yuan Shu created something like the sand table, it became another weapon for leading troops in battle. But in the hands of Chen Gong, it played a more powerful role. On the sand table, there were countless bunkers dotted around.

These fortresses were built around the city and in dangerous places on key roads. They were all built by Chen Gong at a huge cost.

Pang Tong sat in the first position on the left, looking at the sand table in front of him, amazed in his heart. Although he had seen it countless times, every time he saw Pang Tong, he had to express his feelings from the bottom of his heart. Such an arrangement is unparalleled in the world.

Who can break it?

Even with his arrogance, if he had 200,000 elites in his hands, it would be difficult to defeat Liaodong with only 70,000 to 80,000 guards in less than half a year. Not to mention that Liaodong still had Chen Gong who was good at making arrangements in advance.

There are big bosses at the back, and if two hundred thousand elites attack, they will probably have no way out.

"Gongtai, with Liaodong's current defense, do we still need to worry about his mere 20,000 cavalry? If Yan Liang doesn't come, Zilong and I will definitely devour him in one fell swoop." Sun Ce said excitedly.

"Even if Yuan Shao doesn't know much about Liaodong's current defense, he should know a thing or two. Without an army of 200,000, we can't invade Liaodong. How could he do such an unwise thing?" Zhao Yun was not as straightforward as Sun Ce and said calmly.

.

"What Zilong said is true. Yuan Shaoxin has only been in Youzhou for a few months. He has lost countless troops. How can he have the military strength to attack Liaodong? The opponent's plan is definitely not Liaodong." Pang Tong said.

"Then what is the other party's goal? Could it be Wuhuan who lives in Changli?" Zhang Xiu asked confused.

"Wuhuan is now seriously injured, and there are not many tribesmen. They are all gathered near our Liaodong. As the outer protection of our army, they can also be regarded as a part of our Liaodong. Although I do not have as many Wubao as close to Changli as in Liaodong.

Checkpoints, but with a little care. There are also many Wubao and checkpoints in it, especially near Changli City. As long as we order Wuhuan to hold on and support 5,000 infantry, the opponent will definitely be unable to move forward in Changli County. "

Chen Gong said.

He loves Liaodong very much, because it is the most suitable battlefield for him. He is not good at adapting to circumstances, but planning ahead and strategizing are his strengths, and he is not inferior to anyone in this regard. Therefore, he is best at

The method of combat is to stay tight and hold on, using an impenetrable defense system to make the opponent despair and wear him out.

This area of ​​Liaodong is not only remote, but also has difficult roads. Once Yuan Shao sends troops, logistics will be a problem. An army of 20,000 without more than 50,000 civilians to transport food and grass cannot support the battle. If a large number of troops are sent, it will be difficult to reach the land alone.

It took several months. In addition, the terrain in Liaodong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is simply a natural barrier. Otherwise, Gongsun Du and his family would not have been independent here for so many years under the pressure of Cao Wei. Some people even call it the so-called

The "Four Kingdoms".

Relying on his own arrangements, Chen Gong was confident that even if Yuan Shao brought all the troops from across the country, he would be able to spend more than a year in Liaodong. And in such a long time, the money and food needed by the Zhao army would be enough to defeat the entire Zhao army.

Drag down. In history, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Korea were a bloody lesson.

"As far as your layout in Changli is concerned, Yan Liang is leading cavalry, and without any large siege equipment, it may be difficult to even conquer the city." Pang Tong sighed inexplicably.

What a strategist like him who likes to make plans dislikes the most is an opponent like Chen Gong, who doesn't give you any room to display your ideas. There are more than a dozen fortified cities and countless hungry fortresses that cannot be bypassed along the way. There is really nothing but head-to-head confrontation.

Methods to cope.

"Yan Liang led his cavalry here, definitely not for Liaodong or to attack the city. Then their target is probably the Wuhuan people."

"They're just some bastards. If they want to kill them, let them kill them. Anyway, they can't make any money from such a long-distance attack. It's just a Wuhuan dog biting a dog, and both sides will suffer. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Zhang Xiu

He snorted coldly.

He was born in Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he naturally had no good impression of these foreign races.

"Weiyou, be careful." Jia Mu frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "The Hu people are like weeds and can't be killed. Killing alone cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the Hu people. His Majesty once said that we must assimilate and absorb the Hu people.

Now that Wuhuan has surrendered to our great Chu, how can we regard ourselves as subjects of Great Chu differently? If we do this, I am afraid it will be difficult to win over Wuhuan again in the future. If your words are known by Bo'an Gong, he will definitely

Make you look good."

The young and energetic Zhang Xiu had a look of dissatisfaction on his face when he heard this, but thinking of Liu Yu's old-fashioned methods, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and stopped talking.

After staying in Jinling for such a long time, Liu Yu had finally given up on the idea of ​​reviving the Han Dynasty. Under Yuan Shu's request and guidance, he came to Liaodong and turned his dream into something he had not yet accomplished.

The cause is to assimilate the Hu people.

As Gongsun Zan's former boss, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had completely opposite ideas and practices. Gongsun Zan's idea was to kill all the barbarians, which would scare them away, and Youzhou would naturally be at peace. Liu Yu's idea was that the barbarians were

Those who cannot be killed, the Northern Xiongnu were wiped out and Xianbei came out. Even if Xianbei is destroyed, Wuhuan will appear. Since they cannot be killed, then we can find another way to assimilate them.

In essence, both people's methods are correct, and both of them can be considered successful. One killed the Hu people and became frightened by the news, and was called General White Horse; the other captured the hearts of the Hu people and promoted the great integration of Hu and Han. If the two

People cooperate with each other, one is a villain and the other is a celebrity, maybe it can really solve the problem of the Hu people to a large extent and bring decades of peace to Youzhou. But unfortunately, the two people fell out, and the world appeared

Chaos.

Liu Yu left Youzhou for so long, but the Hu people still have not forgotten this old man. Especially under the current situation of the Hu people, when this kind old man appeared in front of them again when they were in panic, they

Without hesitation, they firmly gathered around the old man.

People's obsessions are terrifying. Even Zhang Xiu doesn't want to offend such an old man who has a lifelong philosophy of assimilating the foreigners. He can't fight or scold, and a lot of people under his command are impressed by his personal charm and are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

Hot-blooded, Zhang Xiu doesn't want to be beaten up by everyone wherever he goes.

"The best way now is to stick to it and remain unchanged despite the ever-changing situation. But if the other party comes for Wuhuan, we can't just sit back and do nothing, so it's best to take the initiative." Pang Tong said.

The Hu people are no better than the Han people. The Han people can just go into the city with strong walls and clear fields. They can't escape anyway. The worst is that they will run out of food. Yuan Shu is not short of that anyway. But the Hu people have so many cattle and sheep that it is not easy to deal with them.

It is estimated that many people will die of starvation and disease in a few days if they are trapped in the city. Although Yuan Shu does not care about the money and food, he cannot let these barbarians lose their life! The relationship between the two parties is inherently sensitive. It is not good to let the other party eat free rice, not to let the other party live.

If you eat free rice, the other party will starve to death, and you will be in a dilemma.
