Zhang Yi stopped and looked at the three people with a smile.
The old village owner single-handedly promoted the alliance of many cottages and made great contributions. Zhang Yi would discuss anything with him first. This is the greatest respect for the old village owner.
Both Xiaolong and Xiao Han are smart, diligent and eager to learn, and have great potential for growth. They will become pillars of the country in the future.
Of course, the two brothers Niu Ben and Shi Gandang are talented people in Anbang, and they are not bad either. It's just that they can't understand things like strategy.
Therefore, Song Laohei, Xiaolong and Xiao Han became members of Zhang Yi's think tank, and everyone else was the executor.
"Fighting with swords and guns is the last step. What we want to launch is a general war."
Zhang Yi got straight to the point and stated his point of view.
Total war?
Song Laohei, Xiaolong and Xiao Han looked at each other, another new word they didn't understand.
"In a total war, we mobilize everyone to go to the battlefield?" Xiao Han asked.
"It sounds like we are mobilizing all our forces to attack the enemy." Xiaolong said.
"Our total number of people is less than 30,000, and the opponent's 30 copycats probably have thousands more people than us, so we have to mobilize all our forces to fight." Song Laohei said.
Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head. If he did this, after one battle, the entire region would have returned to primitive society.
"No, you have misunderstood. The meaning of total war goes beyond the scope of fighting," Zhang Yi explained. "Before fighting, we must first start from the economic, diplomatic and cultural aspects. For example, we exchange novel products for them. It would be much easier to use the resources to disintegrate their alliance with the strategy of joining forces, use civilized ideas to win the support of many of them, and finally use force to deal with the stubborn enemies!"
The three people clapped their hands and praised each other. They didn't say anything unexpected, but they could understand everything they said.
"Brother Yi's idea is extremely profound. I agree with total war." Song Laohei praised.
"Listening to Yi Ge's words is better than ten years of reading." Xiaolong said with emotion.
"Haha, Xiaolong also heard what he said from Yi Ge." Xiao Han said with a smile.
The four of them laughed heartily.
Zhang Yi further explained that to defeat General Cao's evil forces, he used total warfare.
Using economic development and expansion as bait, he solved the food ration problem for the people. He used telescopes and eight-armed Nezha to please General Cao and gained his trust. Through cultural education, he enlightened many people and won the support of the people. He also divided and disintegrated the enemy's forces. They were defeated one by one, and in the end only General Cao and Donkey Kong were left. The outcome was determined long before the decisive battle.
In this way, a large-scale bloody battle was avoided and the final victory was won without paying any price.
This is the dimensionality reduction attack.
"The same strategy applies to the 30 cottages," Zhang Yi said. "If the war could be unified, General Cao would have fought long ago. The lack of resources and troops is one aspect. The most important point is that the cottages are all located in high mountains. The terrain in the ridge is so dangerous that it would be too difficult to capture them all."
Song Laohei, Xiaolong and Xiao Han nodded repeatedly. That's right. One hundred and eighty people can't defeat a copycat without killing them. To capture 30 copycats, one must be prepared to sacrifice 3,000 people. This is almost all of our elite forces at present.
After a battle, only the old, weak, women and children were left. The losses were too heavy.
"Yes, if this battle was going to be easy, Liu Kai, the northwest wolf, would have led his troops to kill him." At this point, Song Laohei's heart trembled, "Oh no, the news of the death of the overlord General Cao must have reached Liu Kai. I heard that many mountain strongholds have been attracted by him again, and I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to lead his troops to kill and occupy this mountain and river!"
This is indeed a very serious problem.
The new civilization had just sprouted and had not yet grown strong, and it was about to face a force that was far more powerful than General Cao. General Cao was invincible in terms of personal force, but had no capable people around him, and eventually became a grass bandit who occupied the mountain and became the king.
Liu Kai was different. It was a huge kingdom with a population of more than a million. His delay in attacking the Mopan City area showed that he was afraid of the bravery of General Cao and did not want to bear excessive losses. He intervened again
The situation in this area, including the strongholds being recruited to establish a blockade against General Cao, shows that he still covets this territory.
Based on the above analysis, Liu Kai will send troops to kill him sooner or later.
"I really can't figure it out. Our mountains and rivers are so barren, why would Liu Kai stare so hard at it?" Song Laohei shook his head and sighed.
"There is no bad land in the world, Mr. Song," Xiao Han gave a clear answer. "According to my understanding, coal is very rich under our land. I guess there are iron ores in the barren mountains, but it's just not there yet."
Go ahead and look for it. It looks desolate on the surface, but it’s actually a treasure place!”
When Xiao Han said this, several people were surprised.
Song Laohei nodded and admitted that it was indeed the case. He had seen abandoned mines with his own eyes. They used to be used to dig coal or iron ore. But people didn't even have enough to eat and had no intention of mining.
Zhang Yi said that one is that the problem of food and clothing has not been solved, and the other is that small villages do not have the ability to mine. But times are constantly moving forward. Take Liu Kai's kingdom as an example. If he wants to develop and grow, he needs more
resources, especially coal and iron.
"Brother Yi, after today's discussion, the situation is more tense than I imagined," Xiaolong said with a serious face, "We must launch a general war as soon as possible. Before Liu Kai's forces come in, we can unify this land and form a powerful force.
.”
"Yes, Xiaolong, we don't have much time left for development," Zhang Yi said, "In addition to Liu Kai's forces in the west, we also have to be wary of forces in the east and south. When the two teams sent out to explore the horses return, we will
I can learn more about the situation.”
The atmosphere became a little tense.
Internal troubles have not been eliminated, but there are also foreign troubles. This is a huge test for Zhang Yi's team.
"Everyone cheer up," Zhang Yi encouraged with a smile, "Now that the world is in chaos and smoke is rising everywhere, where can there be peace? Besides, we have taken over Mopan City as a base and produced products that others lack. We have already achieved
Great progress! We will use our products in exchange for other people’s resources, make great strides forward, and increase our strength as soon as possible.”
"Yes, just do what Brother Yi said. Others can only fight wars, but we can fight total war. I believe that we will gain a firm foothold and develop a powerful new civilization!" Xiao Han said with confidence.
Xiao Han not only understood Zhang Yi's total war thinking, but was also optimistic about the future. This attitude won the praise of several people.
"That's right, hahaha," Zhang Yi clapped and laughed, "Next, let's discuss how to make the first sale. I plan to lead the caravan to Jiyuan City to open up this trade route. No wait.
Liu Kai comes to grab resources, let’s grab his resources first!”
