I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145, A suitable base

The evasion of these people caused Wang Dang to be dissatisfied. He couldn't help but asked them angrily: "Why do you have 10 troops but refuse to help Commander Zhang Yan, hiding here in Mayi to survive!"

Guo Taixian laughed softly: "How can you help? It's snowing outside. Do you want us to send troops to merge the state in this weather? Besides, we fought a battle with Xianbei's 10 iron cavalry not long ago. If you think about it, you know it. Although the casualties of the soldiers in the war were not large, our food reserves have basically been consumed by half, and there is no food, so how can we fight!"

Wang Dang immediately said: "As long as you are willing to send troops, Marshal Zhang will take charge of the food!"

The current Yellow Turban Army doesn't have many other things, but it really has a lot of money and food!Most of the money and food collected by the Jizhou clan fell into Zhang Yan's hands. The current Yellow Turban Army is not a poor beggar, but very rich, and can even support Xu Wei's hundreds of thousands of troops.

Guo Taixian really didn't expect that Wang Dang would say such a thing, so he could only helplessly say: "This is not a question of money and food, but a strategic issue of the Tengjia Army. At this stage, our Tengjia Army has decided to fully develop Mayi and build high walls , Accumulate food widely, lay a good foundation, and won't disrupt your strategy because of Marshal Zhang."

Zhang Baiqi said: "Before I came to Mayi, I was also very puzzled. Our yellow scarf soldiers are many and powerful, and we are not afraid of death, but why can't we defeat the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

After I came to Mayi, I finally understood that if I want to win a battle, it is not enough to have a large number of people and not to be afraid of death. There must also be excellent weapons and armor, experienced officers to command the army, and a wealthy territory. Craftsmen who can make these weapons and armor, and everything the Yellow Turban Army can't do. "

We have been fighting the imperial court for three or four years.But we keep losing, why?Haven't you thought about it?

It is because we do not have a territory of our own, so every time we lose a battle, we are defeated.And even if the Han army is defeated, they can quickly recruit troops to encircle and suppress us, and they can also mobilize elites from other states and counties to encircle and suppress us.

"Now Commander Lei Gongqu decided to build his own territory, I think this is what Commander Zhang Yan should do, to have a territory of his own, where the Yellow Turban Army can recuperate and grow stronger without being besieged by the Han army.

Because the Tengjia Army has a rich territory, we can recruit 10 troops in an instant, and we can defeat Xianbei's 10 cavalry!Among the Yellow Turban Army, we can easily pull out hundreds of thousands of people, but it is difficult to defeat 2 to 3 Han troops. "

Wang Dang said helplessly: "We also want to occupy a rich place. Isn't that what Marshal Zhang Yan did in Jizhou? Now, as long as everyone works together, our Yellow Turban Army can occupy Jizhou, the richest place in the north."

Zhang Baiqi shook his head and said: "Impossible, you just took advantage of the unpreparedness of the court to occupy several counties and counties in Jizhou. Come out, and in the end you can only escape to the Taihang Mountains."

Wang Dang could not refute, because such a thing had happened more than once or twice.

Zhang Baiqi said: "In fact, Marshal Zhang Yan should learn from Marshal Lei Gong's method, find a place beyond the reach of the Han court to occupy it, and then work hard to develop it, just like the current Mayi. It will take a few years. Zhang Marshal Yan will be able to train an elite army of soldiers, and then they will be able to fight against the big Han's frontier army."

At this time, Guo Taixian said: "Back then, Marshal Zhang Niujiao had such an idea. He knew that Jizhou was the confidant of the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible for us to occupy it. At that time, Marshal Zhang Niujiao wanted to occupy Youzhou, and then rely on Youzhou." He used the advantage of the state to resist the imperial army.

It’s just that we didn’t expect that the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Frontier Army is completely different from that of the Jizhou Army. Our 10-strong army is actually no match for the 3 Youzhou Frontier Army, so that our idea of ​​occupying a territory has not only failed, Marshal Zhang Niujiao also died in battle. "

"If Marshal Zhang Yan really wants to develop and strengthen the Yellow Turban Army, he must make a decisive decision to completely abandon the territory of Jizhou, because it is the confidant of the imperial court, and it is impossible for the imperial court to watch us occupy Jizhou.

Only go to a remote place, like Mayi, and there are many such places in Dahan. I suggest that Marshal Zhang Yan occupy the entire territory of Liaodong, which is the most unreachable place for Dahan. Marshal Zhang also sent a maximum of [-] to [-] people. You can still defeat the Han army. At that time, you can develop your own territory like Mayi, strengthen your strength little by little, and finally counterattack the entire Youzhou and Jizhou. "

"It's not like the rogue style like now, without a piece of territory of your own, you can't afford to fail!"

"Liaodong!" For Wang Dang, it was simply a place at the ends of the earth.

"How can a place as cold and bitter as Liaodong develop, and it is a deadly place. As long as the Han army stationed [-] troops in Liaoxi, then we will be insulated from the big Han. How can this develop?"

Zhang Baiqi said: "It depends on your own ability, everyone has hands and feet, as long as there is no imperial court oppressing us and taking away our wealth, we can do things with craftsmanship, how can we not become rich!
Before Lei Gongqushuai and the others came, Mayi now was not the same place of hardship, but now I dare say that even Luoyang City is nothing more than this. How long has it been, less than two years, as long as you have Lei Gongqu is half as handsome as he is, and he won't lose much to Mayi after four or five years of development! "

Wang Dang looked at the scene of heavy traffic outside the street, and he couldn't believe that Mayi was just a small county with a thousand people two years ago.

He remembered that when he was very young, when the great virtuous teacher taught him the classics of the sages, he said that when the ancient sage kings were alive, the people would follow these sage kings to do things, and places with sage kings developed rapidly. The residence becomes a gathering, two years into a city, and three years into Chengdu.

Wang Dang originally thought that these were fairy tales made up by later generations to beautify these holy kings, but when he saw Ma Yi today, he found that these stories might be true.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mayi is the capital of a country, right?

And Mayi has the current scale, and it has only been developed for more than two years. Is this Lei Gong a sage like the ancient sage king?
Wang Dang didn't know if Lei Gong was a sage or not, but he knew that his younger brother Zhang Yan certainly didn't have Xu Wei's ability to build a huge city like Mayi, and he didn't want to go to the remote and cold Liaodong.

The conversation broke up like this.
