To be honest, Xun Chen himself didn’t know whether what he said was right or not. He was not a military talent, and the Xun family never had any military books. He just analyzed the general trend, and more needs to be inspired.
Yuan Shao and others are confident.
After all, with so many advisers and generals, Xun Chen really didn't believe that Yuan Shao couldn't defeat Gongsun Zan.
The facts really made Xun Chen wrong. Even though Gongsun Zan was as fierce as a tiger in every operation, he immediately withered after the battle on the boundary bridge. The situation turned from offensive to defensive, retreating step by step, and finally led to defeat.
Xun Chen's words once again aroused the confidence of Yuan Shao's civil and military men, and they followed this plan.
How to mobilize troops to participate in defense, under what circumstances can we retreat, how many mistakes have been made on the battlefield before, how to avoid them next time, how to make arrangements when defending the city, and so on, the meeting hall was filled with excitement for a while.
"Although we are retreating step by step to allow Gongsun Zan to extend the front line, disperse his troops, and train his troops, will those lost cities cause dissatisfaction among the local families?" Xin Pi suddenly interjected.
He wanted to make this point clear. Xun Chen was a member of their Yingchuan faction, and he could not give other factions the opportunity to blame him afterwards.
"Don't worry, George!" Only Yuan Shao could answer this. No one else was qualified to speak on behalf of the Jizhou family, "No, as long as the local family does not get involved, Gongsun Zan would not dare to risk the world's disapproval and massacre the family!
"
Everyone understands this to some extent, but it must be said first.
Since defensive training is the main focus, it is impossible for all the armies to attack. Jizhou's war potential is not comparable to Youzhou. After Gongsun Zan mobilized 15,000 white-horse Yi followers, he also came from several newly captured cities.
Twenty thousand infantry were mobilized in the rear. This was all the troops and horses Gongsun Zan could mobilize. The remaining troops and horses on the frontier to defend the grassland people must not be mobilized.
But there are a full 200,000 troops in Jizhou. The more troops invested in the defensive war, the better. The city is limited in size and has limited food reserves. It does not require too many troops to invest, and the remaining large amount of combat power has nowhere to deploy.
, such a waste is really undesirable.
"My lord, my subordinates suggest that we send our troops to join the state!" Jushou stood up and saluted.
"Oh! Sir, tell me in detail." Yuan Shao was very interested in this.
"Bingzhou has been in a state of ownerlessness since Ding Yuan's death. Lu Bu led his troops to Chang'an again. Now that Bingzhou has no leader, it is a good time to send troops. This is the right time!" With Yuan Shao's approval, Ju Shou spoke eloquently.
"The northern part of Bingzhou is close to the grassland and is rich in horse and cavalry. If we can occupy it, we can get countless elite cavalry. This is a favorable location!"
"At this time, all the counties in Bingzhou are complementary and belong to the same country. People from the northern grasslands invade and invade. The people of Bingzhou are miserable and hope that the army will guard the border. This is harmony!"
"The right time, the right place, the right people, and the right things are there. How can there be an invincible principle? This is a gift from God. There is a way. If God doesn't take it, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't take it at the right time, you will suffer the consequences!"
"My lord, please see me clearly!" Jushou bowed to the end.
Yuan Shao listened attentively, and in the end his heart was surging. He looked at everyone present. Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others all stood up to agree with Ju Shou's suggestion. Seeing this, Yuan Shao was even more happy.
"Okay!" Yuan Shao stood up from his seat, looked around everyone present, and said solemnly: "In that case, let's march into Bingzhou!"
"Promise!" Everyone agreed in unison.
It has to be said that Jizhou's foundation is so strong that it can defeat Bingzhou with Gongsun Zan while still having enough power to attack Bingzhou.
Of course, one of the important reasons is that there is no powerful force in Bingzhou that can cause any trouble to Yuan Shao.
This time we sent troops to Bingzhou, with Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan as the commander-in-chief, Zhang He as the deputy commander, and Ju Shou as the military advisor. He mobilized an army of 60,000 to conquer Bingzhou in one fell swoop.
…
Just when Yuan Shao sent troops to merge with the state, a military meeting was also going on at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain. The protagonists were the four Yellow Turban remnants Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, and Yu Fuluo. There were also more than a dozen leaders, big and small, present at the meeting. The total military strength reached more than 500,000 in one fell swoop!
There is no way, these remnants of the Yellow Turbans stay in the Taihang Mountains, and although they have opened up a lot of fields, in this lean season, there is still insufficient food. If they do not want to cause internal conflicts due to famine, the only way is to gather together and go out of the mountains. Food!
"You think, which way should we go?" Yu Du asked first.
"Go to Wei County. Jizhou is rich and has enough food?" Sui Gu said.
"I don't agree!" Bai Rao knocked on the table, "Right now, Yuan Shao is going to war with Gongsun Zan. If we attack Wei County, doesn't it mean that we are on the same path as Gongsun Zan? By then, Yuan Shao's army will be attracted to come back for reinforcements. What should we do first to solve our worries?"
"Yuan Shao has been beaten and retreated, so he still has time to care about us?"
"Tch, Yuan Shao can't defeat Gongsun Zan, and he can't defeat us? How about you try? Anyway, I will definitely not provoke Yuan Shao at this time."
"Then where did you say you were going?"
"Yanzhou! Liu Dai is a loser. He can't even handle the various county guards below. Compared with Yuan Shao, who is a tough guy, it's definitely easier to beat Liu Dai!"
"Okay, let's go to Yanzhou to eat!"
At this time, the Taihang Mountain Bandits were not the only one in Zhang Yan's family, and they were not yet called the Black Mountain Army. Each mountain bandit had the final say. Whatever happened was discussed by a group of people. The five hundred thousand Yellow Turban bandits were Entering Yanzhou so suddenly.
In fact, for the princes, what they fear most is the team of Yellow Turban Thieves. When other princes attack, at least they will not destroy the city or destroy local production and life. But the Yellow Turban Thieves are different. After crossing the border, there is really no grass growing and they can eat Not to mention all the belongings were taken away, if the local wealthy families fled or died, even ordinary people would be forcibly moved away. The damage was really too great.
Faced with this situation, Liu Dai personally took command and went north to meet the enemy. Although the Yellow Turban thieves were all a mob and vulnerable, but that was before the number reached a certain level. If the number was large enough, it would not be uncommon for the ants to kill the elephant. .
This is the moment...
Half a million people gathered together. Even without any coordination training, they still condensed a layer of cloud in the sky. Although it was thin and not dense enough, it could not hold up to the large number.
"It's just a mob, what's there to be afraid of!" Liu Dai looked at the yellow scarf thieves outside the city with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but think of a letter he received a few months ago...
It's not a poison. A man named Wang who didn't want to be named had nothing to do, so he also wrote a letter to Liu Dai. To be honest, it was purely out of good intentions. Wang really didn't want this guy to die in the Yellow Turban Thief.
In his hands, isn't that an opportunity for Cao Cao to ascend to power? This kind of thing is what Wang hopes to avoid.
However, Lu Xun once said that it is hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. The dignified Han clan clan members are so fragile and sensitive in their hearts. They actually feel that Wang Xuan is mocking him. He is just a remnant of the Yellow Turban. Even in his heyday,
I failed to kill any loyal minister in the court, but now a mere remnant can endanger the life of Yanzhou Governor?
Who are you looking down on!
Especially since the person who wrote the letter was Liu Bei’s straw-shoe man’s aide, it was completely ridiculing!
He, Liu Dai, must rise up. He must charge into battle and defeat these remnants of the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop. Let the world see that he, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is not a vegetarian!
When the time comes, with the power of great victory, Zhang Miao and Bao Xin will be destroyed, completely occupy the entire Yanzhou, strive for world hegemony, and reach the pinnacle of life!
