While Yuan Shao was discussing, Liu Bei was also arguing.
How to deal with Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops?
"Yuan Shao's army is large in number. I think we should focus on defending the city. We are not in a hurry now. Moreover, if we defend the city, we can give full play to the advantages of our elite army. The smaller the battlefield, the more we can minimize the number of Yuan Shao's army.
Advantages." Xi Zhicai pointed at the sand table near Ling County and talked about it.
After Xi Zhi finished speaking, Liu Ye and Li Ru nodded in agreement.
Guo Jia frowned, pouted, and stared at the sand table with his hand on his chin. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find fault if he was asked to find fault.
Forty thousand versus two hundred thousand is not as simple as one versus five. When the number of people increases to a certain level, it can produce a qualitative change.
It is impossible for a single Liu Bei Army to defeat five Yuan Shao Army, but a thousand Liu Bei Army can beat the shit out of five thousand Yuan Shao Army.
However, once the number of people exceeds 100,000, a qualitative change can occur.
On the entire North China Plain, the terrain is flat and open, and the battlefield can be deployed on a large enough scale. The stronger the troops, the greater the geographical advantage it occupies.
With an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and the battlefield is laid out in a wide enough area, no one knows what the fighting will be like in the front or in other directions, and how many people will die in other directions. This can minimize the fear caused by battle losses.
At the same time, when the army is advancing forward, it cannot stop if it wants to. If it is swept by the army, even if those killed in front are about to collapse, they will still be forced to move forward.
This leads to the feeling that the smaller but better team has an enemy that is invincible. It cannot get any rest mentally and physically, and becomes more and more exhausted. In the end, it is swept away by the torrent, and not even a scrap is left.
Guo Jia couldn't figure out how to deal with Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops for a while, but from another perspective, if he were Yuan Shao, then he would have a way to break Xi Zhicai's tactics.
"If I were Yuan Shao, I would encircle rather than attack. I would dig a large number of trenches, destroy the ground, build earthen walls, and build them layer by layer. The purpose is to cut off internal and external connections, change from passive to active, and then start public opinion to seduce General Guan.
, General Gan is coming to attack." After a while, Guo Jia looked up at Xi Zhicai and continued: "We can also persuade Cao Cao to use Qingzhou as bait to attack the Qingzhou mainland where our army's defense is weak, and at the same time launch Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou families
, causing trouble for our army at every turn, in order to create a feeling that our army alone dominates the world."
"At that time, our military's disadvantage in military strength will be infinitely magnified."
When Guo Jia said this, Xi Zhicai was also in a dilemma. He had never thought about fighting head-on. Even if he won, it would be a miserable victory, and the gain would not be worth the loss. However, passively responding to the battle would have great disadvantages, as Guo Jia said, and he would not
It would be foolish to give hope to Yuan Shao because he could not think of such a method.
You said something, I said something, we were on the sand table, using Yuan and Liu as chess pieces to deduce the situation of the battle. For more than an hour, no one came up with any good countermeasures...
"bomb."
"I only have one card left!"
Suddenly, Xi Zhicai's thoughts were interrupted by a voice, and he suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and looked towards the corner where the voice came from... Immediately, his brows jumped wildly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the muscles on his face trembled violently.
Word).
Xi Zhicai's strange behavior immediately attracted everyone to look in that direction...
"Hurry up, I'm tired of waiting!"
_(′?`‖∠)_X15
I saw Liu Bei, Wang Xuan, and Zhuge Liang fighting against the landlord. Liu Bei frowned and thought deeply, Wang Xuan looked sullen, Zhuge Liang looked helpless, and Wu Anguo, Dian Wei, and others watched with great interest.
"Fuck..." Guo Jia reacted the most intensely and cursed uncontrollably. When he thought that Liu Bei was among them, he swallowed back the word.
"Breathe~Breathe~" Xi Zhicai felt like he was going to explode on the spot. He took a few deep breaths to calm down his restless heart, and kept telling himself in his mind that people like Wang Xuan made him so angry.
It's really not worth it to get bruises or anything like that, just stay calm.
The world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable. This is not good, not good!
"King Zha!"
“What a pleasure it was to work with you!”
"Wang Xuan!! (broken sound)" Xi Zhicai was so calm that veins popped out on his head, his hair stood on end, and he roared crazily with his face flushed.
"Ah!" Wang Xuan was startled, and the last card in his hand fell on the table. He turned to look at Xi Zhicai, who was rushing behind him with a ferocious face, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed the opponent's collar.
After all, it was the martial arts that had been developed through practicing Qi. Xi Zhicai lifted it up without any resistance in Wang Xuan's hands. He felt a sense of suffocation and his face turned even redder.
When it was clear that it was Xi Zhicai, Wang Xuan quickly put him down and looked at Xi Zhicai who was bending over and coughing, "Zhicai, what's wrong with you? How did you get yourself into this state? Don't cough out your lungs."
"
Xi Zhicai's vision turned black for a while, and he almost lost his temper.
After a long while, Xi Zhi finally came to his senses and sat there in a daze, looking decadent and helpless.
"Aren't you discussing how to deal with Yuan Shao? What's going on with him?" Wang Xuan turned to look at Guo Jia and the others. Liu Bei also looked strange.
Guo Jia and others: What happened to Xi Zhi? Don’t you have any idea?
Although Zhuge Liang was also fighting Landlord just now, he was indeed dragged into it by Wang Xuan. He had been diverting some of his energy to pay attention to Xi Zhicai. Of course he knew the reason. At this moment, he could only smile bitterly. With such an unscrupulous teacher, there was nothing he could do.
ah.
Looking at Xi Zhicai's tragic situation, Guo Jia took a deep breath, pretending not to see Wang Xuan, and said to Liu Bei: "There is no good way. The gap in military strength is too huge, and there is no advantage in terms of geographical location. Our army is indeed in a bad situation."
Downwind."
"What?" Wang Xuan turned his head and squinted at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai with a look of disbelief, "You guys haven't even come up with a solution after all this time?"
_(owo?ゝ∠)_Guo Jia, hold on, I can’t die yet!
"Our army's advantage is so obvious. It's not easy to deal with Yuan Shao. How about you?" Wang Xuan looked at Guo Jia and the others with three parts confusion, seven parts disbelief and six parts contempt.
Guo Jia:_(′?`‖∠)_
Ministers:X﹏X
"Okay!" Liu Bei reacted and glanced at Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others with distress, then turned to look at Wang Xuan helplessly, "Zai Zhi, stop making trouble. If you have any idea, just tell them."
After Liu Bei said this, Xi Zhicai, who had just been so decadent and doubtful about life, became more energetic and wanted to see what Wang Xuan could do.
"There are many ways!" Wang Xuan was sitting there with his legs crossed and the playing cards in his hand flipping up and down between his fingers. "Let's give full play to our advantages, whether it's equipment or training."
