Zhang Mancheng had a determined expression on his face.
He is not stupid at all, he is even very smart.
Since Qin Yuan said this, he must be fully confident.
At the same time, Qin Yuan spent so much effort to come to Nanyang City, so it was naturally impossible for him to return without success.
And we will definitely find a way to open up a new situation from Nanyang.
Therefore, the Nanyang War is very important.
Qin Yuan will never play tricks.
Even if Qin Yuan only sends 100,000 elite troops now, Zhang Mancheng will not have the slightest doubt.
Either these 100,000 elites really possess the courage of ten thousand men, and each one of them is as fierce as a murderous god.
Either this is just the first batch of vanguards, and there may be more powerful armies in the future.
After all, it is simply nonsense to say that Qin Yuan cannot mobilize more troops.
Qin Yuan himself had one million troops supporting Guangzong City.
As the general of the army, it is easy for him to mobilize the army, let alone his own army.
In addition, Qin Yuan's army in Youzhou exceeded 10 million.
It is also not a problem to dispatch troops from Youzhou.
What's more, Guangzong City has 180 million troops.
According to some recent news, many Yellow Turban Qushuai generals and player forces have chosen to join Qin Yuan.
The armies of these forces are eight million, if not ten million.
It is also not difficult to mobilize these troops.
Qin Yuan could even be more ruthless and forcefully recruit all forces to go to Nanyang County to help the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army. This is also a way.
Therefore, unless the imperial camp also sends a large number of troops for support.
Otherwise, there is no possibility of failure in the Nanyang War.
This is why Zhang Mancheng decided to completely obey Qin Yuan's arrangements after careful consideration.
"Okay, this matter is settled!"
Qin Yuan didn't want to explain too much.
After all, there is not much use in saying this.
Only strength is the truth.
In his opinion, large numbers of troops are not the key to victory.
If it is a ragtag group of people, no matter how large the number is, it will be in vain. Even if a part of the army is defeated and chaotic, it will drag down the entire army.
Afterwards, Qin Yuan held a detailed military strategic plan discussion with Li Cunxiao, Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and others.
"Since Xinye City is the first line of defense for the government army to blockade Nanyang!"
"Then let's start from here, break the government blockade, and sound the clarion call for attack!"
"Of course, although we are the main attacking army, we are only responsible for the war!"
"As for what happens after the city is captured, I'll leave it to you to handle!"
After finalizing the plan, Qin Yuan said again.
In the past, Qin Yuan might have formulated some detailed battle plans, pursuing the ultimate perfection and ensuring that every step of the strategy would not go wrong.
But now, because of his absolute strength, details can be ignored.
Moreover, because this was done in secret, it was required to rush to capture the new field and catch the enemy by surprise.
The number of people and troops who can participate is not particularly large.
Therefore, it cannot cover all aspects.
As long as the general strategy leads to victory, that's all.
The plan can be implemented tomorrow.
Today, in addition to welcoming Qin Yuan and discussing strategies, Zhang Mancheng and the others mainly mobilized some direct troops to prepare for military operations.
The other thing is to be careful not to leak the news.
at the same time.
Inside Xinye Castle.
The newly appointed Nanyang Governor was also having a conversation with some important officials and generals, as well as representatives of aristocratic families.
Qin Jie looked around at everyone.
As the new Nanyang Governor, he has only one mission, which is to destroy the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army and recapture Nanyang County.
As long as the Nanyang battlefield is victorious, the Yellow Turban rebels in various parts of Jingzhou will not make any waves.
The entire Jingzhou Yellow Turban Army is almost a large and small existence.
Even the Yellow Turban Army in other counties basically obeyed Zhang Mancheng's command and dispatch.
"In the past few days, although we have not achieved a staged victory!"
"But judging from the rebels' continuous shrinking of their defense lines, our strategic implementation is effective!"
An official spoke up.
"Although in the battle for Xinye, the rebels were at a disadvantage, and judging from their strategic adjustments, they probably have no intention of continuing to attack Xinye!"
"Although we took the opportunity to capture some cities, these territories are not important strategic points and are dispensable!"
"After the rebels return to defense, if we want to annihilate the rebels, the price we have to pay will be even greater!"
"It's better to let the rebels take the initiative to come out of the city to fight with us!"
A tall and mighty general in the field said.
From a strategic point of view, they have indeed achieved considerable success.
In particular, they repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban Army's plans to attack Xinye.
In several battles in Xinye, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses.
On the contrary, the price paid by the government troops this time was not high.
After all, they have the advantages brought by the city, which greatly reduces the casualties of the army.
However, after the Battle of Xinye, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army seemed to find it difficult to break through the Xinye City defenses. Instead, they were attacked by government troops from all directions, so they began to shrink their defense lines and stay within the city.
In this way, offense and defense were exchanged, and the government army became the party that needed to launch the attack.
Although the army they led continued to recapture some cities from the Yellow Turban Army.
But every time, they were the attacking party and spent a lot of people to capture a city.
Gradually, the number of personnel on the government and military side continued to decrease.
On the whole, the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, the city they occupied was basically not an important place.
It can be said that it is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
If they continue, by the time they attack Nanyang City, the remaining army will probably not even be half of what they are now.
At that time, it will be an opportunity to become a Yellow Turban Army.
"Now on our frontal battlefield, the rebels have formed a solid line of defense just like our previous strategy. This is why we have to pay a huge price every time we attack a city!"
"And once we gather a large number of troops and attack it at a great cost, the rebels in the city will retreat, leaving an empty city for us!"
"What General Zhao said is true. The rebels are indeed using the same methods we used to deal with them to continuously consume our combat power!"
Qin Jie pondered for a while and said.
"However, we can choose another way to attack!"
"Attack from behind the enemy's territory, or from the side!"
"Zhang Man became the leader of the rebels and occupied more than 20 counties in Nanyang. Although the territory is vast, their troops must be very scattered!"
"It is impossible for every defense line to be very strong!"
"This is our opportunity, we can divide and annihilate them, defeat them one by one!"
Qin Jie said.
"Prefect Qin's plan is good!"
"However, troop dispatch may be a problem!"
"And our army currently only has five million troops left, and as far as I know, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang is by no means less than five million!"
"As the attacking party, I'm afraid this kind of force is far from enough!"
"What's more, the last Nanyang County City can be captured with confidence!"
A middle-aged official said.
"I understand all the issues you are worried about!"
"With our current military strength alone, it is simply impossible to completely eliminate the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army!"
Qin Jie said very calmly.
He turned to look at the representative of the wealthy family.
"However, the elimination of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army is not just a matter for our Nanyang government and the Nanyang clan!"
"It is the responsibility and obligation of the entire Jingzhou government and aristocratic families!"
"I think you all should put in more effort at this time and take advantage of the situation to destroy the Yellow Turban Army and avoid future troubles forever!"
Qin Jie said seriously.
"Prefect Qin, in order to help you, we have invested millions of taels of gold in you!"
"As for the assisting troops, they number in the millions!"
"Isn't this enough?"
A man in green clothes representing a wealthy family said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
He knew very well that as soon as Qin Jie said these words, they would definitely need their help.
But before that, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou had provided a lot of help to Nanyang.
"Thank you for your help. I, Qin Jie, will keep it in mind!"
"However, I led the Nanyang Army to block the rebels in Nanyang County, which also made a great contribution to the entire Jingzhou!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Jingzhou would have suffered from the Yellow Turbans, not just Nanyang County!"
"I believe you all know this!"
Qin Jie said to everyone. "Now, at the most critical moment, I hope you will help me. When the Nanyang rebels are destroyed, I will definitely report it to the court. Your contribution will not be less!"
After hearing what Qin Jie said, the representatives of the aristocratic families talked in low voices, but did not give an accurate reply.
"Let's do this. After the Yellow Turbans are destroyed, the main businesses in Nanyang County can be handed over to you!"
Qin Jie made an important decision. "Especially the Qi family that was destroyed by the rebels, their previous business territory can be taken over by you guys!"
After all, if you want to get help from the Jingzhou family, you can't do it without paying some price.
It is basically impossible to get them to invest a lot of resources and help with just a few words.
This can be considered an exchange.
Qin Jie did not have much influence in Jingzhou itself.
And his arrival was able to form such a huge force and curb the expansion of the Nanyang rebels not only because of the imperial court's will, but also because he used his own abilities to gain a lot of support from Jingzhou.
Otherwise, it would be simply fanciful to want to destroy the Nanyang rebels with just an empty order.
"That's okay!"
After hearing what Qin Jie said, these representatives of the aristocratic families agreed to this condition.
"Now we are attacking Nanyang County from the north!"
"I hope you can launch an attack from the east or south with the three million troops now!"
"Under attack from both sides, the Nanyang rebels will definitely be unable to defend!"
Qin Jie said again.
"Three million!"
"Prefect Qin, you are such a big talker!"
Everyone was shocked.
Three million troops, this is not a small number.
You must know that Qin Jie, as the governor of Nanyang, took over some of the remaining government troops and obtained the help of the Jingzhou clan, so he had an army of five million.
And now he wants the help of three million troops.
It is true that they are from Jingzhou's aristocratic families, but they are not taken advantage of.
"The commercial aspect of the city you attack is up to you, and you can decide on the candidates for official positions in the territory!"
Qin Jie released another bombshell.
This is another big step for him to give up his interests.
You know, the Nanyang rebels occupied most of Nanyang City, including more than 20 counties, including hundreds of cities.
In a county, the highest one is the county magistrate, with countless officials under him.
If a county is successfully recaptured from the Nanyang rebels, there will be at least hundreds of officials, large and small.
Among the Jingzhou aristocratic families, there are basically family members who serve as officials in the court or local governments, but the number is not large.
It was also a restriction imposed by the imperial court to prevent local families from getting bigger.
But now, once they can serve as local officials, they can use their family's energy to control almost a county and a city and form their own territory of influence.
In particular, restrictions on private armies have been relaxed.
In this way, they have the power, money and soldiers in their hands, which is not the prototype of a warlord!
If it was the previous business territory, they could refuse.
If you take up an official position, you will definitely not be able to refuse it.
"Okay, my Li family is willing to cooperate with the Qin Governor and decided to send 500,000 troops!"
"My Zhang family sent 600,000 troops!"
"My Zhuo family"
Representatives from various companies spoke one after another.
Even when they each reported the number of troops they sent, when added together, it far exceeded three million.
It's not that these Jingzhou aristocratic families don't have troops and money, nor that they don't help Qin Jie.
It's just that without relevant interests, they won't contribute at all.
But now, when huge benefits are placed in front of everyone, they can't wait to invest all their family's wealth in it.
Once successful, you will get ten times and a hundred times the profit.
Especially as a wealthy family, they are very aware that the imperial court is declining day by day, and that various places are relying on their own troops to respect themselves.
Nowadays, the Yellow Turbans are wreaking havoc, which has consumed the last bit of vitality of the Han Dynasty.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army is finally destroyed, the situation will only become more serious.
And when troubled times come, strength is the only capital that can save lives.
If it is like before, the family only has money but no corresponding strength.
I'm afraid I will just become a big fat sheep in the eyes of others.
And now is the perfect opportunity.
How could they miss it?
"Prefect Qin, I wonder if our alien guild can also participate?"
At this time, a stranger stood up and said.
"certainly!"
Qin Jie looked at the man, nodded slightly and said, "Just like the aristocratic families, you can receive the treatment they receive!"
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
A representative of a wealthy family questioned.
"There's nothing wrong with it, they're all serving the imperial court!"
"The imperial court will never let down any meritorious official!"
Qin Jie said with a calm expression.
Although he sacrificed huge interests, there was nothing he could do about it.
Only by doing this can the Nanyang rebels be destroyed in a short time.
But he didn't want this to lead to the unrestricted development of the powerful family.
After all, this is his territory from now on.
Therefore, he wanted to find a force that could balance and deal with the powerful families.
