"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is now divided into four, in the hands of Li Que, Guo Bang, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji. Among them, Li Que is the most powerful, with about 20,000 real Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Guo Bang has 17,000
Qian Xiliang's cavalry, Fan Chou has about 10,000, and Zhang Ji has more than 8,000 cavalry." Fan Qin said helplessly, the entire Sili is almost the home of Xiliang's cavalry, they are everywhere.
"Hiss~" The others all took a breath after hearing Fan Qin's words. This number was too much. How could Sili's place support so many cavalry?
"Originally, each Xiliang cavalry would have a varying number of Qiang cavalry as servants, but now the Xiliang cavalry itself has a problem of food and grass, so the number of Qiang cavalry has been greatly reduced." Fan Qin said a good news,
At least we don't have to deal with an extremely large number of Qiang cavalry.
"The Xiliang cavalry are brave and brave, but due to the food problem, there have been big internal problems, military discipline has been very chaotic, and looting is common. The looting mentioned here is no longer simply looting the people, but has begun to
Bingzhou plundered the Hu people, and even plundered the interior!" Fan Qin told Cao Jun's advisers some good news, and their winning rate increased again.
"However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is still a whole in itself, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo still maintain restraint among themselves. In other words, the time is not yet ripe. Once we join Sili, they may take this opportunity to integrate into one.
"When Fan Qin began to think about how to advance westward, Fan Qin gave them a head-on blow. The time had not come yet!
"The situation is like this. You all should tell us how we should start." Xun Yu waved his hand to Fan Qin, indicating that there was no need to say anything else.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to seize Sili without civil strife. If we don't talk about other things, we won't be able to capture Hulao alone." Sima Lang was the first to speak. As Sima Lang, who had witnessed the Xiliang cavalry with his own eyes, he
It couldn't be more clear that Cao Cao's infantry are really no match for him.
"We can't defeat the remnants of Dong Zhuo even after entering Hulao Pass. This is the fundamental problem." Chen Qun stroked his forehead and said with a slight headache.
"Zhicai, Zhongde?" Xun Yu asked, turning his head.
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu both frowned. The most fundamental problem in this matter was that they were too weak, and they had no way to deal with it.
"Gongda?" Xun Yu turned to look at his nephew. He really didn't want to use his strategy, it was too dangerous.
"The Yang family said that they still have some strength, right?"
It can be done.”
"Well, can Fan Chou leverage the Xiliang army's momentum? The time it takes for Zhang Ji to turn around Hongnong, and Zhang Boyuan's performance before, I'm afraid Zhang Ji's time is running out. This is also an entry point, but we can't guarantee it." Fan Qin.
He murmured to himself, with a sigh for Xun You on his face.
After Xun You spoke, he instantly guessed something based on Xun You's words. Then he glanced at everyone, then thought about Sili's senior spies, and finally his eyes fell on Sima Lang.
[I'm afraid this matter will fall on Sima Lang. Regardless of his status, ability, or intelligence, Sima Lang is the most suitable. He can do all these things by himself.] Fan Qin thought silently, [I'm afraid Xun Wenruo
It was only after meeting Sima Boda that I came up with this idea.】
"There is no bait, and we need another bait at that time." Xi Zhicai caught up with his thoughts instantly, "Since they are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, they should fight for the Han Dynasty. Don't be afraid that they won't work hard when the time comes."
"I'm afraid not." Cheng Yu always thinks from the worst side of people, so he naturally came to a different conclusion than Xi Zhicai.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Xi Zhicai's cold smile. In an instant, Cheng Yu understood what Xi Zhicai's bait was referring to. He was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Xi Zhicai's bait referred to Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
This bait is definitely enough!
"I'll write a book then." Fan Qin smiled and said. He understood Xun Yu's thoughts very well. "It's a matter of your own life. It's better to make your own choice."
"That's fine." Xun Yu nodded and said nothing more, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Lang invited himself to Guanzhong to report to the emperor." Sima Lang was not stupid either. Although he did not fully understand, he understood half of what Xun You said, so he stepped forward and said to Xun Yu.
Speaking of which, not long ago, Sima Lang was still complaining, but as soon as Xun You's plan came out, Sima Lang immediately understood that this was a good opportunity. If it succeeded, Cao Cao would definitely be able to make a comeback, and he might not be able to control the country, and he, Sima Lang
With the first success, the Sima family was about to take off again, but it failed. It didn't have much impact on him, Sima Lang. At most, he would switch to someone else. There was no rush for such a short period of time.
"Boda recommended himself. How can we refuse to accept it? However, we should wait until we consider all aspects and report it to the lord before accepting the offer." Xun Yu said with a smile. Although he did not directly agree, he still accepted it.
Regardless of Sima Lang's identity, spiritual talent, or intelligence, or even the events in which Dong Zhuo used his own son who died earlier than himself, they all had a great impact on whether this event would succeed or not.
[Perhaps Cao Mengde might be able to make a comeback this time. Xun Yu didn't say anything about his plan, but he must have made some calculations. I'm afraid it was also to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. Well, I'd better not help anymore, just watch it.
, Let’s make it up or make it up.] Fan Qin lowered his head and thought that if among these people, Xi Zhicai made him feel the most dangerous, then Xun Yu was the one he admired the most.
Strange to say, Xun Wenruo usually did not take action and only managed government affairs, but when pressed, he would devise plans. It can be said that every time Xun Wenruo's plan was flawless, there was no counterattack or failure!
Doesn't it sound very powerful, but the actual situation is that every time Xun Yu's strategy fails to obtain the maximum benefit due to some unimaginable reasons, and if he cannot obtain the maximum benefit this time, Cao Mengde may not be able to get the maximum benefit again.
This is the opportunity to compete for the world and help the Han Dynasty.
Because of this, Xun Yu directly prepared a three-layer insurance this time, leaving all government affairs to Chen Qun and Fan Qin. He first secured the army and grain-producing areas. After this time, Xun Yu could no longer guarantee a third chance.
.
After all, if entering Sili and seizing Yongzhou and consolidating the land and reopening the Zhengguo Canal failed, Cao Cao would have no choice but to enter Sichuan. Xun Yu could only smile bitterly when he thought about entering Sichuan.
It's not that simple either.
[If it succeeds this time, no matter what the lord says, there will never be a war within three years. The Zhengguo Canal will be opened first and the 40,000 hectares of abandoned farmland will be planted. There will never be another problem with food and grass, and we will never be able to deplete the lake for fishing! 】
Xun Yu shouted crazily in his heart, he was almost ruined.
