Chapter 768 Recruitment
"Yuan Jiujiu has no intention of seizing the opportunity to seize Jizhou. I'm afraid he wants to fight Zhao directly and decide the world in one battle." Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shao carefully and said.
"Highway, you are really brave." Yuan Shao sneered slightly, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if Yuan Jiujiu is so arrogant, give us some time to develop steadily," Guo Tu said.
"Now our army has little chance of winning. If possible, it would be better to bring Liu Xuando to our side. At least we can increase our chances of winning by two points." Shen Pei said from an overall strategic perspective.
Guo Tu and Feng Ji secretly glanced at Shen Pei without saying a word.
"Zhengnan, you don't have to think too much about Liu Xuande, he won't agree." Yuan Shao chuckled as if he had seen through everything.
He was the one who single-handedly promoted Liu Bei to the position of governor of Yuzhou, and he saw Yuan Shao very clearly.
Toughness of mind and winning over people's hearts are his strengths, but his indecisive character and short-sightedness are his fatal weaknesses. After all, he was born in a poor family, and like Dong Zhuo, although he was surrounded by many powerful generals, he was unable to grasp the overall situation.
Even if the world's talents help each other, even if they can get a temporary success by luck, they will not achieve anything in the end.
Now the only top counselor Liu Bei can rely on is Chen Qun. But unfortunately, Chen Qun is not good at military strategy, and due to the Chen family, he is no longer trusted by Liu Bei, so he is unable to reverse the situation.
Now that the situation in the world is almost settled, Liu Bei's idea is simply to break the pot. Even if he is defeated, he will still be a prince rather than a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and his eventual comeback is uncertain.
"It's exactly what your Majesty said. Liu Xuande is now obsessed with survival and has no ambition. We don't want to waste time on him." Feng Ji said.
In fact, both he and Guo Tu knew that Liu Bei had no choice but to die. This is what everyone hopes for, and it is also the general trend. Liu Bei cannot break the situation even if he goes against the will of heaven.
.
The current situation is still different from the situation before the Battle of Chibi in history. First, Liu Bei is not homeless and has no worries, and there is no such thing as Zhuge Liang beside him. Second, Yuan Shu is not Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao is not Sun Quan. The strength gap between the two sides is much larger than the strength gap between Cao Cao and Sun Liu's coalition, and there is no danger to defend. Thirdly, the Han Dynasty has completely lost its majesty, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao each
As emperor, Liu Bei's status destined him to be unable to compromise.
Of course, there is another most critical reason. Both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are surnamed Yuan, while Liu Bei is surnamed Liu. The interests of the world have been occupied by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the wealthy families have also recognized the status of the Yuan family. Liu Bei cannot shake it at all.
Be the first to be kicked out.
The battle between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is not a fight to the death, but more like a battle of orthodoxy. Just like in history, Yuan Shu intended to defect to Yuan Shao after his defeat. After all, they are brothers, and there is room for both sides.
"It's not that simple to convince me that I lost." Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said with confidence in his tone.
Even if the right time, place, and people are not on his side, even if everyone in the world hopes that he will be defeated, and even if there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he, Yuan Benchu, will not give in. For no other reason than because he is Yuan Benchu.
"Yuan Tu, how is the recruitment process going?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Your Majesty, in the past few months, I have been recruiting soldiers everywhere. I have recruited about 130,000 soldiers. They have been put into training. It is expected that it will take half a year before they can go into battle." Feng Ji said in a deep voice.
Faced with this situation, Yuan Shao's choice was the same as that of Cao Cao. He went to war and recruited soldiers as much as possible. Every additional force can increase his combat power and increase his winning rate in future decisive battles.
"It's too slow. Three months at most. These soldiers must be trained within three months." Yuan Shao said directly.
"Your Majesty, three months is too short, can you?" Feng Ji said anxiously.
Yuan Shao interrupted Feng Ji with a wave of his hand: "No need to say more, just three months!"
Feng Ji frowned slightly, but faced Yuan Shao's decisive words, he had no choice but to accept it.
Hearing this, the judge opened his mouth to speak, but finally closed his mouth.
The number of soldiers is important, but quality is not important. However, if they are of low quality and do not obey orders, it may be harmful to the combat effectiveness of the army.
The more troops Han Xin has, the better, but not everyone has Han Xin's ability. Once the number of soldiers exceeds the level of one hundred thousand, the commander's command and the quality of the soldiers are crucial. Otherwise, if there is chaos and a chain effect, the soldiers will be destroyed.
The defeat was like a mountain. An army of hundreds of thousands could be defeated faster than a few hundred thousand pigs.
Although Shenpei considers himself to be the top commander, there is no guarantee that he will be able to stabilize so many recruits. More than 100,000 recruits are simply a time bomb that may explode at any time. Although he is worried, Shenpei is also worried.
He couldn't speak to stop Yuan Shao.
There is no way, the gap between Zhao State and Chu State is really too big. Although Chu State sent troops in the past, it has always been a small fight, but in the next battle that will ultimately determine the world, Yuan Shu will never hold back anymore.
Shen Pei estimates that at least 200,000 troops will participate in this battle.
Today, the number of Zhao soldiers is only over 300,000. Considering the gap between the soldiers of both sides, the overall combat strength is too disparate. It is imperative to recruit and expand the army.
"Your Majesty, you think Yuan Shu will start a war within half a year?" Guo Tu asked.
Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "He is the most impatient on the road. Having come to this point, I'm afraid he can't bear it any longer. What's more, Youruo has pissed him off this time. I'm afraid he can't wait to kill me and Youruo."
What if they are taken to Jinling!"
Shen Pei bowed solemnly and said: "In the past, the king of Yue was so courageous that he could devour Wu with three thousand Yue armor. Until the end, who knows what the outcome will be? Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to serve my great Zhao.
Win this battle!"
Yuan Shao looked at the judge with admiration in his eyes: "What Zhengnan said is very true. Until the end, we still don't know who will win. Yuan Jiujiu has not defeated me since he was a child, and it will be the same this time. The world will eventually be named Yuan
, and it must be my Yuan Shao’s Yuan!”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Looking at Yuan Shao who was so impressive and domineering, everyone felt a sense of admiration and belief in their hearts, and they all bowed in admiration.
If you go against the grain, you will be a model for the world. At this time, Yuan Shao, who was in a desperate situation, had swept away his past indecisiveness and sternness. He was full of pride and ambition, and acted decisively. Who in the world could not call him a hero?
If Yuan Shao had maintained this state since the beginning of the chaos, the northern Xinjiang might have been unified long ago, and the Central Plains might have been conquered by him. But it is a pity that Yuan Shao did not wake up until the situation deteriorated to the point where it is now.
