Physics persuades everyone to already understand what it means and have a deep understanding of it.
Isn't the current stability and prosperity under Liu Bei's rule the result of physical persuasion?
But Sun Ce's ability to dominate Jiangdong is not a soft persimmon. In fact, his military force is not bad, especially Sun Ce's Yangtze River Navy. Although Sun Ce's Yangtze River Navy certainly cannot challenge him at sea, it is really not weak at all on the Yangtze River.
"I have no objection to whether Sun Ce can be persuaded physically, but the question is, is time urgent?"
Guo Jia frowned and looked at Wang Xuan and continued to ask: "Now is no different than usual. We can't wait for such a long time. These three million people seem to be refugees, but they are not completely organized. Although they were driven out by deception,
, but there are also a large number of people from the Central Plains families lurking among them."
"With these people inciting the emotions of the refugees, the damage caused to the local area is very huge. However, our troops are limited, and we have to deploy defenses at the border and gather the refugees. Now we are already stretched. The speed of gathering the refugees is very slow. If
Then mobilize troops to deal with Sun Ce..."
Guo Jia shook his head solemnly. Everyone understood what he meant. He was obviously not optimistic about Wang Xuan's method. This was also one of the flaws in Liu Bei's military strategy, as the troops were too few.
The military strength was too small, and the territory expanded in a short period of time was too huge. In Guanzhong, Xiliang, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and southern Xuzhou, the overall area more than doubled in just over a year.
Although Xiliang and Yizhou are vast and sparsely populated, the hidden dangers of Qiang people and mountain barbarians are huge, requiring a lot of troops to be garrisoned there.
This resulted in a large gap in the originally sufficient troops. Take this attack against Sun Ce as an example. The current news is that Sun Ce rushed along the river and defeated four counties including Xiazhi, Exian and Zhuxian.
land.
Although this is because the four counties are built on rivers and rivers, and there are no generals stationed there, so it is difficult to resist Sun Ce's full-scale naval attack, but in the final analysis it is still because of the lack of troops.
In fact, in addition to the originally occupied Nanyang County and the newly captured Nanjun, Jingzhou, including Jiangxia and the entire four Jingnan counties, has a huge shortage of officials dispatched, let alone garrison issues.
Most of them were Jingzhou soldiers who had originally surrendered, and they didn't even have time to retrain.
You must know that the Han army is not like Cao's army, which can be forced into the army at will. After joining the army, it can be used after a little training.
The current military system of the Han army is extremely strict, and the welfare benefits of soldiers are also very high. The soldiers themselves also have a strong sense of honor. This is the result of long-term rigorous training and ideological education. It is valuable and of great significance. It is impossible to replenish troops in the short term.
Destroying the good atmosphere that was finally formed.
None of the smart people under Liu Bei would agree to this kind of trade that is not worth the gain.
"There is no need for a large army!" Wang Xuan said with determination: "If you have more soldiers, you will fight with more soldiers. If you have fewer soldiers, you will fight with fewer soldiers. If you have no soldiers, you will fight with no soldiers. Use our strengths to attack the other's weaknesses!
"
A way to play without soldiers?
…
In Xiling, the county seat of Jiangxia County, Sun Ce, who was sitting in the lobby of the county governor's mansion, had a look of pride on his face. He was playing with Jiangxia County's household registration in his hand and said with a smile to Zhou Yu beside him: "It seems that the Han army has no imagination.
China is so powerful, and the momentum along the way is overwhelming. The resistance of the Han army is really weak, so there is no need to exaggerate the evaluation of the Han army."
Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing, knowing that Sun Ce was venting his grievances about the defeat at Xiquyang City.
Of course, it is impossible for an inhumane guy like Dian Wei to be stationed in every place, especially for a city that has just been captured by the Han army. It is normal for it to change hands easily.
But it would be nice to make Sun Ce happy and restore his self-confidence. Xi Quyang's blow to Sun Ce was a bit too big.
"Where should we attack next?" Sun Ce came to the map excitedly and slid his fingers on the map. "Should we go north to capture Anlu, go to the Han River to capture Jingling, or continue up the river to capture Shasha?"
Xian Bing enters Nanjun?"
Zhou Yu also stood up and walked to the map with a smile and stood side by side with Sun Ce. The hormones were spreading around him as he stood casually. He waved the feather fan gently in his hand and said in a confident voice: "If it is normal, it will definitely
The purpose is to enter the Han River and capture Jingling and Neifang, cut off Xiangyang's attack channel along the Han River, and then go north along the Jianshui River to capture Anlu and cut off the road south from Nanyang."
"But it's different now. Cao Cao drove 3 million people into Liu Bei's rule at once, and followed him with an army of no less than 300,000. The Han army had no time to take care of itself, and there was no time to take care of us, especially Jiangxia and Jingnan.
The county is completely newly occupied by the Han army, and there is no time to reorganize it, so we have to continue down the river."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu used his feather fan to gently row along the Yangtze River on the map, passing by Shaxian and Zhouling, and did not stop until he reached Yueyang. "Our goal is here. The Cui family of Qinghe built a city here."
Named Yueyang, it firmly holds the Yangtze River waterway and is backed by Dongting Lake. It can station a large number of naval forces and is the most important node for controlling the river water."
"Moreover, the Cui family of Qinghe has a close relationship with the King of Han. If we want to firmly occupy the four counties of Jiangnan and Jiangxia, we must capture this place and cut off the Han army's tentacles extending to Jiangnan. Only by firmly occupying this place can we ensure the completion of our occupation of Jingdong this time.
The goals of the four southern counties and Jiangxia."
"Okay!" Sun Ce put his arm on Zhou Yu's shoulders and said energetically: "After three days of rest, we will send troops to Sha Xian!"
…
"Is this Yueyang?" Wang Xuan, wearing an ordinary gray cotton coat, walked on the streets of Yueyang City and looked around.
This cotton was planted on a trial basis in Qingzhou. Over the years, it has been spread over a large area and has become very popular. Compared with the kudzu linen clothes of this era, which were filled with reed batting and the like, a big cotton jacket and two cotton trousers are nothing.
It is simply a magical tool that greatly reduces the mortality rate of people in the north in winter.
Moreover, the cotton cloth spun from cotton was also purchased by the people in large quantities, and it was much better than linen clothes. Under Wang Xuan's policy of encouraging industry and commerce, it soon spread to the entire Han Dynasty.
"What Yueyang has done is really good. The only thing missing is a Yueyang Tower!" Wang Xuan muttered while looking around.
"What is the Yueyang Tower?" Zhang Fei, who had a dark face and a beard like bristles, stretched out his head and asked.
"It's obviously a building, why are you so stupid!" Before Wang Xuan could answer, Hua Xiong's rough voice intervened.
"Damn it, you're really itchy, aren't you?" Zhang Fei clasped his fingers and looked sideways at Hua Xiong. He hadn't beaten Hua Xiong for a long time since everyone was guarding the same place separately. Obviously, Hua Xiong was in trouble.
Yes!
"You two, please give me a break." Wang Xuan's cold voice came over. The two of them trembled and immediately laughed dryly and shut up.
Behind him were Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Yang Ren, Pang De, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo, who watched the two bickering with their lips and smiles.
This group of people is very eye-catching walking on the street. After all, even handsome men like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are tall and powerful, not to mention guys like Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong who are full of evil spirits.
You can tell by looking at him that he is not a kind person.
Of course, at most, they were thought to be heroes in Dongting Lake, and no one would think of them as a group of marquises under the command of the King of Han.
