The military strategy of the Blood Flag Army was arranged by Liu Xie. This is a bit ridiculous. A puppet emperor who has been imprisoned in the palace since he was a child, let alone going to the battlefield to command the army, probably can't even speak independently, right? Now actually
In leading the military strategy, are you sure you are not cheating yourself?
of course not.
The things in Liu Xie's mind can be said to be extremely rich. Not only did he have Wang Tianyun's understanding and summary of mortal soldier combat, but he also had Rong Zijou's sophisticated skills in managing government affairs.
At the beginning, Chen Gong, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun all had an extremely contemptuous attitude towards Liu Xie's personal abilities. Even when Liu Xie first proposed "hiding troops among the people", "better troops and simpler administration" and "mountainous areas"
The three strategies of "encircling the plain" also encountered fierce opposition.
In Lu Bu's words, the soldiers in his hands are brave and brave, and they can be called the best in the world. Why should they tolerate the cowardly Liu Zhang? The war started directly in the Chengdu Plain. Divine soldiers descended from the sky and quickly captured Chengdu and Guanghan.
, can directly disintegrate the ruling core of Liu Zhang's family. Then reveal the identity of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't the remaining soldiers in Sichuan surrender without a fight, wouldn't it be possible to quickly seize control of the entire Sichuan?
And Chen Gong is also a little confused about Liu Xie's plans. At present, it seems that logistics is the biggest shortcoming of the Blood Flag Army. There are thousands of people, and a day is a big number. If you want to develop slowly,
Then there must be that innate condition, right? Although he understands that Liu Xie doesn't want to directly pull out the big flag and show off his horses and jump out in front of the world, but even if it is hidden, there are other ways, right? Not necessarily
Do you need to "hide troops from the people" or become bandits?
Faced with many confusions and doubts, Liu Xie insisted on his opinion. He understood what he was doing, and he knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he was doing. What's more, this was what Lord Yama had repeatedly warned: Don't show your face in a hurry, everything will be revealed.
We have to wait until the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is inevitable before we can start taking action.
Because of the suppression relationship of the life and death talisman, even if they disagreed in their hearts, after Liu Xie made the decision, the rest of the people still tried their best to assist. On the one hand, there was no way, who would let others take control of his life? On the other hand, that
A gloomy and terrifying figure always lingers in their hearts.
Forget it, there is that god-like figure above who is controlling the direction. If something goes wrong, it can easily be overturned with that person's methods, right?
What is puzzling is that Liu Xie's strategy of "gathering refugees, organizing farming, robbing official grain, and serving as farmers and soldiers" from the very beginning actually produced extremely miraculous changes under the implementation of the so-called "cottage".
The refugees who were recruited were very hard-working. After spending the initial period of time relying on the help of the villagers, they immediately fell in love with the villagers physically and mentally.
Because the food provided by Liu Xie is actually two seasons a year!
I have never heard of two crops of rice being harvested in a year! And the yield is appalling!
Needless to say, Lu Bu and others also knew that this thing should be what Liu Xie got from the god-like Lord Yama. Now they understood that Liu Xie had chosen this method to start cannibalizing Liu Zhang from the most remote areas.
It didn’t bloom from the middle in a big way.
We need a large rear area.
Sure enough, a year later, the refugees who had harvested two consecutive crops of rice were not only self-sufficient and regarded Liu Xie as their reborn parents, but they were also able to feed the soldiers back to a certain extent with food. This was already foreseeable, as long as
If things continue like this, it won't take long, at most one year, and the output of the refugees will be able to fully feed the eight thousand warriors in Liu Xie's hands.
There is never a shortage of refugees here. Especially in Sichuan, a place where the war has been relatively slow, it has become a major concentration of refugees. But Liu Zhang simply cannot manage so many refugees, because the most suitable fields for growing food in the plains have long been
There was nothing left. The refugees could only be allowed to continue migrating to the mountains in the south. This naturally benefited Liu Xie in the end.
The mountainous terrain is complicated. Marching is indeed inconvenient. But the highly accurate color map in Liu Xie's hand is like opening up a clairvoyance for him. Whether it is an ambush, a surprise attack, or a roundabout, evacuation is always easy.
No effort. Even in Lu Bu's words, with such a map, Liu Xie's chances of dominating the world can be increased by another 30%!
Nowadays, in addition to the more than 8,000 warriors brought by Lu Bu who drank the "sacred water", there are more than 2,000 refugees who were trained by Lu Bu and dispersed to several settlements established by the refugees. They usually farm, practice in the morning and evening, and work alone.
It is a military quality. Although it is not elite, it can be regarded as a qualified soldier.
This is the strategic "militia system" that Liu Xie came up with after summarizing the experiences and memories of Wang Tianyun and Rong Ziju. His idea was to establish a foundation for his future sweeping the world before the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Fazheng was dumbfounded as he listened to Liu Xie and Chen Gong slowly explaining these things. He was indescribably horrified. He never imagined that Lu Bu would be moved directly to southern Sichuan after his defeat in Xiapi. And that kind of thing can yield two crops a year.
Ji Daozi is as unbelievable as a fantasy.
In the end, Fazheng had to focus all his doubts on the name that appeared most often in Liu Xie and Chen Gong's mouths: "Yam Luo".
Fa Zheng's heart was surging and he felt a little guilty. After all, this was "betraying the master". Even if Liu Zhang did not give him a chance to display his talents and neglected him, he was still Fa Zheng's "lord" in name. Such behavior has psychological consequences.
There are some obstacles.
However, Fazheng's job is not too complicated. All he needs to do is to list all Liu Zhang's military layout southward in Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, and Xinggu, as well as the information of the main garrison officers in each town, and then tell Liu Xie's blood
Just the Banner Army. At the same time, in your own circle, list those who are full of resentment towards Liu Zhang and seek opportunities to bring them into the Blood Banner Army camp.
The clan circle that Fazheng belongs to and his unsatisfactory situation are the reasons why Chen Gong and Liu Xie came to him. Of course, Fazheng's ability is also good, but it requires further understanding to know.
Just when Liu Xie conquered Fazheng, returned to southern Sichuan, and began to actively prepare for war, it was December of the fourth year of Jian'an.
The military confrontation on both sides of the Yellow River and around the strategically important place "Guandu" has reached a critical value. The arrangements of both sides are basically in place. The next step is to find their own advantageous fighter planes and prepare for the fight. But at this moment, a
Something extremely fatal for Cao Cao happened.
Cao Cao, who has always been known as an ambitious man, tasted the taste of breeding tigers this time.
Liu Bei, who was cursed by Lu Bu as a "big-eared thief", was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou. He first pretended to surrender, and then Lu Bu found out that he had different intentions and wanted to kill him. But just when Liu Bei was almost crushed, fortunately, Liu Bei was killed.
With the intervention of Cao Cao, Lu Bu was forced to give up the extermination and retreat, and gave up Xiaopei as Liu Bei's safe haven.
Later, Lu Bu, who still couldn't let go, took advantage of Cao Cao's defeat in the expedition against Zhang Xiu, sent troops to Xiaopei again, and won the battle. Liu Bei abandoned his wife and children, fled in panic, and once again took refuge under Cao Cao's command.
When it comes to looking at Liu Bei, Lu Bu still has a much more original vision than Cao Cao. The word "thief" says it all. That guy is a thief! You can expect him to be safe and sound when he is a thief who is hard to change.
To live under others?
Therefore, just when Cao Cao was gearing up and anxiously preparing to seek opportunities for fighting, and considering how to defeat Yuan Shao with less and more, Liu Bei rebelled. Starting from Xiaopei, which he had previously managed, he quickly raised 20,000 to 30,000 people.
The strong peasants, led by a small number of regular soldiers, took advantage of the situation and captured Xiapi. At the same time, they sent a letter to Yuan Shao seeking alliance to attack Cao Cao.
