After hearing this, Jushou shook his head and said: "There are too many difficulties. Daqian's military system is complete and the soldiers can be mobilized very quickly. Don't forget that when Dong Zhuo wanted to raid Taiyuan to support Huangfu Song, it took less than half a month for Lei Gong's subordinates to get the news. In time, 100,000 soldiers were recruited to guard Taiyuan County, so that Dong Zhuo's plan to raid would be in vain!"
"We need to contact Cao Cao and Liu Bei, especially when we have to wait for Liu Bei to come to the Central Plains from Jingzhou, thousands of miles away. We also need to prepare food and equipment for hundreds of thousands of troops and more than a million civilians. It is impossible for Lei Gong not to know about such a big move. !”
"And as long as Lei Gong knows that we are preparing to attack Jizhou, with Daqian's mobilization speed, I am afraid that before our army has been assembled, there will already be a million troops in Hebei waiting for us to enter the tiger's mouth!"
Tian Feng also said: "As long as Lei Gong knows that our alliance is attacking Hebei, he will definitely mobilize the Hu cavalry in the desert, and it is impossible for humans to outrun the war horses. By then, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not even reach Yanzhou, and the Hu cavalry will have reached the Yellow River. Up! We took the initiative to attack, but instead abandoned the fort built at a huge cost to fight the cavalry on the plains. This is simply not worth the gain!"
"Ming Gong, if we want to change our situation, the only way is to reduce military investment and find ways to build water conservancy and farmland to save ourselves. The land we occupy is the most fertile in the Central Plains. As long as the water conservancy facilities can keep up, even this year and next year The drought in the Central Plains continues, but our food production is enough to be self-sufficient. Only with sufficient food and grass can we be able to fight against thunder!"
Xu You sneered and said: "We are short of soldiers and food here, but the land in Hebei occupied by Lei Gong has had bumper harvests year after year. According to the information I received, Lei Gong stored hundreds of millions of dan of grain last year, which is enough for tens of millions of people to eat for half a year. , it is enough for a million troops to fight for a year. The reason why Lei Gong did not attack us last year was because he wanted to accumulate enough food for the people of Hebei to feed the people of Hebei for three years!"
"But this year Lei Gong attacked Xiliang first, but did not pay much price. Even the Qiang people were judged by Lei Gong. If the summer harvest in Hebei is good again, Lei Gong is afraid that there will be tens of millions of more grains. He has seen that we have reduced our armaments. , plus Lei Gong now has a great victory over the Qiang people and is very popular!
Let’s talk about it!
The Thunder Guild will not take the opportunity to attack the Central Plains!
If Thunder God really attacks us after the summer harvest, what can we do to resist Thunder God?"
"Three years ago we wrongly estimated the time when Thunder King would attack the Central Plains, and the current predicament is the price we pay!
If we misjudge the time when Lei Gong attacks the Central Plains again today, the price we pay this time will be unbearable. If Lei Gong attacks the Central Plains, we may all die!"
Tian Feng and the others stopped talking. Now the Thunder Lord in Hebei has tens of millions of people, millions of troops, and enough food and grass to support the millions of troops in combat. Even if the Thunder Lord hits the Central Plains tomorrow, they will not be surprised.
It can be said that these three years of drought have revealed the strength of various princes in resisting disasters. Yuan Shao did the worst, and Lei Gong did the best. And now God has begun to reward Lei Gong, and the initiative in the war is in the hands of Lei Gong!
Judging from Yuan Shao's current situation, when Lei Gong launches a war, the fall of the Central Plains and Guanzhong is inevitable. If the Central Plains and Guanzhong are lost, Luoyang City will have to face three-sided attacks from Hebei. By then, the fall of Luoyang City will only be a matter of time.
If this situation really happens, Yuan Shao will have to rely on Liu Bei to survive, and this is the thing Yuan Shao cannot tolerate the most.
But now the initiative to launch the war is not in Yuan Shao's hands, but in the hands of Lei Gong. They are now completely unsure that Lei Gong will not attack the Central Plains!
Guo Tu thought calmly for a long time and said: "It is too dangerous to take the initiative to attack Hebei. Can we guide Lei Gong to attack our scheduled battlefield?"
"Hebei Lei Gong is not only a threat to us, but also a huge threat to Qingzhou and the Han Dynasty. As long as Lei Gong's army enters the Central Plains, Liu Bei and Cao Cao will definitely not stay away!
With Lei Gong as our common enemy, Cao Cao and Liu Bei must support us. When the time comes, the strongest forces in the Han Dynasty will unite to deal with Lei Gong. Lei Gong will be severely damaged by us and will not have the strength to go south within a few years.
Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in Qingzhou will also be severely damaged by Lei Gong. Although our losses may also be heavy, we can use the food of Cao Cao and Liu Bei to feed the army in this battle, and the vitality of the Central Plains can be preserved.
As long as the climate is normal in the next few years, we, who occupy the most fertile land in the Central Plains, will surely be the fastest among all forces to recover.
When our vitality is restored, the lord can make an alliance again and call on the princes of the Han Dynasty to attack and kill Lei Gong and occupy Jizhou. By killing Lei Gong, the greatest treason of the Han Dynasty, the lord can establish strong prestige and outstanding achievements, and even occupy Jizhou.
Lei Gong territory.
The lord has become the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty. With the lord's family background, combined with the prestige of defeating Lei Gong, the lord can then powerfully enter the court and take charge of the power of the court. The lord can secure the emperor at the top and the people at the bottom, and establish the king's hegemony.
We can also follow our lord's name and leave a lasting legacy!
Xun Kan worriedly said: "Although this strategy sounds good, it is too complicated and will easily fail. What if Lei Gong is not fooled? What if Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not willing to support us? And with the Central Plains as the battlefield, the biggest losses will be suffered.
It must be me. Who can guarantee that we are the biggest winner in this war?
If the biggest winner in this war is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or even Thunder God, whom we least want to see, then what we did today is digging our own grave!"
Xu You sneered and said: "We don't have many choices. Reducing armaments is a gamble, and launching a war in the Central Plains is also a gamble! If you want the war to have less impact on us, you can drag Cao Cao into the water! Anyway, Qingzhou is also on the front of Lei Gong.
Down"
"It's just that everyone chooses to reduce armaments. We can only passively pray that Lei Gong will not attack the Central Plains and give us a breathing space of half a year or a year. However, we have the initiative in the latter! As long as we defeat Lei Gong with our own strength, we will be able to defeat Lei Gong.
You can take the strategic initiative!”
The two sides argued fiercely. Xu You, Guo Tu and Feng Ji wanted to take the initiative and start a war in the Central Plains when their military strength was at its strongest. However, Tian Feng, Jushou Xunkan and others felt that they should lay a solid foundation and build water conservancy facilities.
Farming to survive this drought.
It is too dangerous to launch a war in the Central Plains now. With the time and performance of Lei Gong's attack on Xiliang, the possibility of their defeat is actually greater. I am afraid that they will be burned by the time and lose Yanzhou, Sili and other places in the first battle!
Yuan Shao was always good at making plans but now his advisers were divided into two factions, leaving him at a loss as to who to listen to.
Finally, Yuan Shao decided to go to the Xiangyang court to ask Liu Bei to support him. Lei Gong was a traitor to the entire Han Dynasty and should not be resisted by him alone.
