I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 431, Revolutionary Dahan

Most of the generals felt that they had to eat every bite, and they rejected Wang Ge's plan of the mighty Seventh Route Army, thinking that if they could occupy Yanzhou or Guanzhong in this battle, it would be a big victory.

But on the direction of attack, everyone's opinions are not unified. Some people want to attack Yanzhou, while others think it is better to attack Guanzhong. "The two sides have about the same number of people, and each has its own reasons."

Then the other generals of Dagan started a heated discussion about attacking Guanzhong and Yanzhou!Let everyone show the advantages and disadvantages of attacking Yanzhou and Guanzhong!

The advantage of attacking Guanzhong is that you don't have to face too many big Han troops, and the current Guanzhong is deserted, allowing the cavalry to gallop freely and maximize the power of the large cavalry. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao does not have many troops in Guanzhong. 10 troops.And occupying Guanzhong, the east can threaten Luoyang City, and the south can threaten Nanyang County, which can lay the foundation for the next war!

But the downside is that such a big battle will not only make it difficult to annihilate the troops of the big men, but even increase the population. Now the entire Guanzhong is almost becoming a no-man's land, and they can only occupy a piece of white land!
The advantage of attacking Yanzhou is that Dagan's forces penetrate deep into the Central Plains, and can surround Sili from three sides in the west, Cao Cao's forces in the east, and attack Yuan Shao's richest Yuzhou in the south. It can be said that Yanzhou will lose the entire Central Plains. After crossing the natural danger of the Yellow River, the richest territory of the big man was exposed to the front of the big gan army, and strategically the big gan took the absolute initiative against the big man.

Of course, the downside is that Yanzhou is well-defended and there are many forts. Yuan Shao knew that it was difficult to fight the large cavalry on the Yanzhou plain. In the past three years, Yanzhou has built a lot of forts, so the current Yanzhou is the most defensive.

And Yanzhou is in the center of the world, so there is no danger for Dagan. Whether it is Yuan Shao's army, Cao Cao's army, or Liu Bei's army, it is easy to support Yanzhou. Dagan attacked Yanzhou and suffered from the three most powerful princes of the Han Dynasty. An army of 80 joined forces to attack Yanzhou. If we really want to attack Yanzhou, 10 troops will definitely not be enough. It might take [-] or even [-] troops to completely conquer Yanzhou!

Therefore, one of these two plans is a small fight, and the other is a big fight. It can even be said to be a decisive battle between the big army and the big man!

In the end, everyone's opinions were gathered in the hands of Xu Wei, whether to attack Yanzhou or Guanzhong!For a while, Xu Wei couldn't make up his mind.

After everyone left the battle meeting room, Xu Wei found Jia Xu at the end, and slapped himself fiercely. It's too stupid to have such a top ten counselor of the Three Kingdoms by his side without asking for advice!

So Xu Wei left Jia Xu at the end, and when there were only the two of them left in the war room, he asked, "Brother Wen He, do you think we are going to attack Guanzhong or Yanzhou?"

Xu Wei knows that Jia Xu likes to be wise and protect his life, so he saves him for the last and asks him again!
Jia Xu's novel said: "This subordinate is just a small soldier who joins the army, how dare he discuss such important military affairs!"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "You also advised Dong Zhuo back then. Compared with us mud-legged people, you are a professional! I just want to hear the opinion of you, a professional! And now you are our big boss! You only joined the army, and it is your job to advise me."

Jia Xu thought helplessly for a long time and said: "The discussion between the ruling and the generals is very complete. Xu has nothing to add, but the ruling and the generals seem to have forgotten that Yuan Shao and the others are also gathering an army. It is impossible for them to watch us capture The entire pass!"

The pigeons from Xiangyang, Luoyang, and Beihai have already arrived in Ji County. Xu Wei and the others also know that Cao Cao and the others have gathered an army and are marching towards the Central Plains. When Jia Xu reminded them, Xu Wei discovered at this time that if they attack In the case of Guanzhong, it is indeed difficult for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to enter Guanzhong to support Yuan Shao, but they can cross the Yellow River in Yanzhou to attack Hebei!This war has become you punch me, I punch you!

Then Jia Xu continued: "The current situation depends on what the ruling party wants to achieve. If you want to gain territory, occupy Guanzhong, and arrange cavalry in Jizhou to attack instead of defending. If Liu Bei and the others don't want too many casualties, they must not dare to go too deep. Jizhou! But there may be some losses in Jizhou.

If you want to annihilate the main force of the Han army, arrange heavy soldiers and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Liu Bei and Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle in Yanzhou, mainly to kill and wound the soldiers of the Han army.

As long as the elite of the big Han die in the hands of our Da Gan, it will be difficult for the Da Han to recover their vitality within a few years. At that time, the Da Gan will take the initiative no matter whether it is to attack Qingzhou, or Sili and Yuzhou. It can be said that as long as the Han army is strong in the Central Plains War Injury, then the entire Central Plains dialect will be easily occupied by us. At that time, the big man can only rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist our soldiers! "

"Guanzhong, Yanzhou?" Xu Wei couldn't make up his mind after hearing Jia Xu's words!
After thinking for a day, Xu Wei said to everyone: "We will concentrate 30 troops to attack the Central Plains!"

Xu Wei intends to completely break the back of the big man in this battle and gain a strategic advantage!
After the summer harvest, Xu Wei issued an order, and the entire territory of Dagan, from Hebei to the desert to Liaodong, was full of mobilization orders issued by Xu Wei!

Three years later, the mobilization order reappeared on Dagan's site, causing a sensation in the entire desert, Liaodong, and Hebei as well!Everyone started to take out their swords and armors, trimmed them up, and then walked to the pavilion one by one!

The story is divided into two parts. Although the land south of the Yellow River is full of dry fields, there are crowds of people in this land, and long dragons are on this dry land!
All the roads and rivers in Yanzhou are filled with carriages and transport ships full of grain. Millions of people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou happily become peasant husbands, and transfer the grain and grass materials transported from Jingzhou to Luoyang City, Liang Guo, etc. hoarding.

Although the common people knew that it was going to be a war, they were also happy to have food. The past few years in the Central Plains were too miserable, and there were droughts for three consecutive years. The crops in the fields were not harvested, but they were very Difficult to support family.

Everyone thought that this year would be better, but they did not expect that since the first month, the entire Central Plains has not had a few rains, and the rivers and streams have completely dried up. Many people even dare not plant seeds in the ground. With this year's climate, as long as It is a normal person who knows that this year's drought is inevitable, and leaving the seeds can still provide a few mouthfuls of food many times!
But now they have the job of civilian husbands, which allows them to support their families. Many people thank God for sending them this job that can support their families. As for the crisis of war, they don't care at all. Now they may not even be able to live tomorrow However, naturally they will not worry about the war affecting them!

Zhang Fei led an army of 3 vanguards to protect these peasants. Zhang Fei sighed at the miserable scene along the way!
"Yuzhou, Yanzhou is the most prosperous place in the Central Plains, but under Yuan Shao's governance, the towns along the way are dilapidated, and Yuan Shao, who has suffered a loss, is still known as a model in the world. Now it seems that he is simply an idiot!" Zhang Fei said angrily.

Jian Yong on the side said: "This really has nothing to do with Yuan Shao. Who would have thought that the Central Plains would suffer three consecutive years of drought, and there would be a plague of locusts in Guanzhong! If this was in the time of the first emperor, I am afraid that the entire Central Plains would have starved to death, and it is even possible Another Zhang Jiao and his like appeared to rebel, and now Yuan Shao can still maintain the situation in the Central Plains. It can be seen that Yuan Shao has done a good job. We may not be much better than Yuan Shao!"

Zhang Fei curled his lips and said, "Lei Gong is better than Yuan Shao. The Central Plains suffered from drought, and Hebei was not much better there. Lei Gong led his men to build water canals to fight the disaster, but Yuan Shao only knew how to build Wubao. Now that it is better, Yuan Shao has to rely on Only we can feed the people in the Central Plains. My elder brother didn’t know what curse Yuan Shao cast on him. Not only did he bring troops to the Central Plains to deal with Lei Gong, but he also prepared to help Yuan Shao feed the people in the Central Plains. This battle, no matter whether we win or lose, we have accumulated three years The food supply will definitely be emptied!"

From Zhang Fei's point of view, Yuan Shao's power in the Central Plains has become difficult to maintain, and now he should not think about dealing with Lei Gong, but find a way to save the people.And now that their army is dispatched, Lei Gong must know that when they come to Yanzhou, Hebei must have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to wait for them. Zhang Fei does not know how many people died in this battle between the two sides, but The people who died of starvation will definitely exceed the people who died in battle!
Jian Yong also sighed and said, "It's not because Lei Gong frightened Xuande in the battle of Xiliang. Strictly speaking, we are now on the border with Lei Gong. Lei Gong's army can attack Yizhou from Xiliang, so Xuande has a strong sense of crisis. , I want to find a way to weaken Lei Gong's strength!"

"Yuan Shao himself said that if he doesn't fight Lei Gong again this year, he will have to weaken his troops to find a way to protect himself, but Lei Gong is already strong, and if the big man weakens further, it will be even more impossible for him to be Lei's opponent. It is impossible for Xuande to watch Lei Gong occupy the Central Plains and annex Yuan Shao's territory!"

Because Yuan Shao fell, it will be Cao Cao's turn next, and when Cao Cao also falls, we are the only ones left to deal with Lei Gong! "

Needless to say Jian Yong in the back, Zhang Fei also knew that they could not be Lei Gong's opponents with their strength alone!

Zhang Fei sighed and said, "There is a lack of cavalry, but we have to fight Lei Gong in the Central Plains. I always feel that we are looking for our own death!"

Jian Yongdao: "Don't worry about this, Yide, Yuan Shao's past three years are not in vain. From the Wubao along the way, we can see that now the whole Yanzhou has been fortified by Yuan Shao. It is not so difficult for Hebei to capture the Central Plains." Easy! Now we can only hope that the fortress in Yanzhou can kill and injure the main army in large numbers, and buy us a few more years!"

Zhang Fei said helplessly: "Even if we fight to the death with 50 cadres, Lei Gong can still easily recruit a million troops. You must know that the population of Hebei has exceeded 2500 million. I really don't know if Lei Gong is bragging, or there is such a thing in Hebei." Most of the population is not registered. Three years ago, Hebei's population did not exceed 2000 million, and now it has grown by 500 million in just three years!"

Liu Bei's forces have always been very concerned about Lei Gong's movements, and the Dagan Army will also announce the annual financial income, population growth, and military achievements of Dagan every year, because it is public. Liu Bei can get Dagan's as long as he wants to collect it. information!

And Liu Bei pays attention to this information not only because he wants to understand Lei Gong's strength and trends, but also to see how many of these policies can be copied and used in the south of the Yangtze River!So Zhang Fei and the others know the information of Dagan even better than the general staff of Dagan!
Jian Yong said helplessly: "Lei Gong doesn't need to lie to us. In the past three years of drought in the Central Plains, millions of people have fled to Hebei and were placed in Liaodong by Lei Gong! Moreover, Lei Gong occupied Xiliang this year, and the Han people in Xiliang were taken by him. Millions of people were dug out! The Qiang people were also captured by millions, and if you add the Hu people from Fuyu who took refuge in Lei Gong, it is not impossible to increase the number by 500 million in three years!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said with disdain: "These tyrants know how to hide the population, and they will be honest only if Lei Gong sweeps them all over again. I'm afraid that there are still a large number of people in the south of the Yangtze River hidden by the powerful and powerful!"

This year, the statistical population of Xiliang spread to Xiangyang City, which shocked Liu Bei. You must know that the population of Xiliang was only about 60 according to the statistics of the Han Dynasty a few decades ago. Liang has been smashed to pieces, but in such a beaten Xiliang, according to Lei Gong's statistics, there are one million Han people, and there are more than one million Qiang people. If there is no war, Xiliang will not have 10- 400 million people.For a while, even Liu Bei had a big plan to re-count the population of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Bei felt that even if there were tens of millions more people in the south of the Yangtze River, it was not impossible!
Jian Yong wondered: "We still need the help of powerful families to develop Jiangnan. If these people hadn't cultivated a lot of land in Jiangnan a few years ago, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to start this big war! It's not us who turned against them now. when!"

Zhang Fei said: "If we don't turn our backs, how can we catch up with Lei Gong!"

Jian Yong is also speechless. Lei Gong collects taxes from households to be so powerful, but this is something Liu Bei can't do, because Liu Bei is also an alliance with the powerful and powerful clans. If he really wants to learn from Lei Gong's policy, I'm afraid Liu Bei It must first be overthrown by the powerful clan of the big Han.

All Jian Yong could think of was Liu Bei ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. This way, he would throw off the old burden of a big man, and make all innovations easier, so that he could catch up with Lei Gong!

At the same time, Yuan Shao knew about the mobilization order for the whole of Hebei. Yuan Shao urgently contacted Cao Cao, and Liu Bei and the others discussed how to deal with Hebei.Lei Gong already knew that they were going to form a coalition to attack Hebei again. Now it seems that Lei Gong wants to take the initiative!Want to attack Yanzhou before their coalition forces are formed!

"Hurry up and ask Liu Bei and Cao Cao to speed up their march, and they must rush to Yanzhou before the Hebei army is dispatched!" Yuan Shao shouted anxiously!

If Hebei rushed south to cross the Yellow River before the coalition forces launched an attack, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao did not come, this would be the worst news for Yuan Shao, because he had to fight Hebei alone, and he did not have enough troops. The Wubao built in Yanzhou is also difficult to exert its full strength!For Yuan Shao, the situation became severe in an instant.That's why he was so anxious to ask Liu Bei and the others to help!
At the same time, Yuan Shao also ordered his subordinates to garrison the various crossings of the Yellow River to strictly prevent the northern army from crossing the river.
