Great Military Division

Chapter 303 Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao form an alliance, and Yan Xiang has three strategies to fight the enemy!

"Master Bian, according to the current situation and information that experts have, the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty did lead to a decrease in crop production and a shortened cultivation time. This is the main reason why grain production cannot be greatly increased."

"More importantly, such a small ice age has just begun. If it develops normally to the Three Kingdoms period, the temperature may drop even lower than it is now."

"So, our cold and warm protection project must also be put on the agenda. From production, life, and even to military and other fields, everything must be considered comprehensively."

"Experts have carefully studied and speculated on the temperature conditions of this year based on various aspects such as plant production and people's clothing, and found that some of our modern laws cannot be applied."

"But Master Bian, don't worry."

The Alliance of Military Division hastily added: "The climate expert group is reviewing the videos of this year, comparing them with the characteristics of modern solar terms, and trying to find the law of temperature changes suitable for the current environment as much as possible."

"After all, although it is the Little Ice Age, there are still obvious characteristics of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It's just that the length of each season is different, but the process experienced is referable."

"Great."

Liu Bian was ecstatic in his heart: "If we can summarize the integrity of the Little Ice Age, it will have more guiding significance of scientific laws for ordinary people's farming."

"That's right!"

The Alliance of Military Divisions affirmed: "Not only in agriculture, but also in the military field in the future, it can also be used, and for modern times, it is also an important material for studying the Little Ice Age."

"You should know Hawking, right?"

"of course I know."

"Hawking once predicted that the earth will enter an ice age in 2032, and the world will become colder! Moreover, there are already some evidences that slowly verify the correctness of this prediction."

"what?"

Liu Bian was surprised: "Really?"

The military division alliance said softly: "It is true, so this information is also a very precious information for modern society. On behalf of meteorologists, I thank Master Bian."

Liu Bian hurriedly said: "Don't, this is what I should do. If you need any help, just tell me, and help as much as you can."

"it is good."

There was joy in the voice of the Military Division Alliance: "There is really one thing. The meteorologist specially designed a form. Master Bian can give it to Zaoyi, and ask him to send someone to record it every day and submit it once a month."

"It's equivalent to doing an experiment in the late Han Dynasty. Meteorologists can use the content recorded on it to infer the approximate temperature conditions at that time and other information."

"can!"

Liu Bian did not hesitate: "Then let's start."

Military division alliance: "ok."

At that moment, Liu took out the paper on the side, and began to draw the form according to the description of the Military Division Alliance.

Liu Bian is deeply honored and obliged to contribute to his motherland.

while the table is being drawn.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, there was a long sound of report outside the hall.

Liu Bian stopped writing and looked up.

But seeing, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu is here."

Liu Bian put his pen aside: "Okay, let him in."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Not long after, Lu Su stepped up to the hall, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My minister, Lu Su, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside: "Your Majesty, please stand up and sit down."

Lu Su then got up: "Here."

"Is such that."

As Liu Bian spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the side of the Long case: "According to Feng Xiao's report, many refugees from Ruying and Guanzhong have poured into Nanyang this year."

"Most of these people live and eat in the fields, and they just build a simple thatched hut to live in. It's okay now, but winter will come in a few months, so the conditions will definitely not survive the winter."

"The imperial court must find a way to accommodate these people."

Speaking of this, Liu Bian handed a stack of materials to Lu Su, and said softly: "As early as two months ago, I sent people to build a brick factory, the purpose is to build houses for them to ensure that they can survive the winter. "

"The inside is a new type of house structure, with wood as the frame, bricks filling the wall, and fire channels inside to ensure the temperature in the house in winter."

In the winter of the Little Ice Age, not to mention ordinary people, even princes and aristocrats, some people may be frozen to death. Therefore, this cold and warm project needs to last for many years.

The south is fine, the temperature is still acceptable.

but the north
We must consider this kind of house construction with internal fire paths, otherwise, a large number of people will die every winter, and no matter how good Liu Bian's other work is, it will be nothing.

"That's how I think about it."

Liu Bianyan conveyed the idea succinctly: "Ten miles is a pavilion, and three to five villages are set up in one pavilion. Each village is expected to have [-] households. The specific location is up to you, so that it will be convenient for the government to manage in the future."

Lu Su deeply felt that this was a major project that did not belong to land reclamation. After receiving the materials, he took the lead and asked, "Your Majesty, is this part of the money still paid by the imperial court as in land reclamation?"

"No."

When opening up wasteland, Liu Bian destroyed the Kong family and obtained a lot of money and food, so he could use this to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and let them join the army of opening up wasteland.

but
The money is almost spent now, and most of the taxes and rations collected this year have already been planned. It is impossible for Liu Bian to continue to waste money:
"They have money and food this year, and the people should pay for this part of the money themselves. At best, the imperial court will give some extra subsidies, so that the cost of materials can be guaranteed."

The military division alliance has already calculated that a family should have 55 mu of land, and those with a prosperous population will have more. Calculated according to the actual income of one stone and one bucket per mu, at least [-] shi of grain can be obtained.

According to the monthly ration of one shi and five shi per person, that is fifteen shi a year, and basically no more than three members of a family entered Nanyang as refugees, so they needed to store 45 shi, at least ten shi.

Although ten stones of food is not much, if the imperial court subsidizes some more, it is enough to build a small house that can keep warm and cold, with a bedroom in the back room, and a reception room outside and a kitchen.

"As for labor."

According to the deployment of the Military Division Alliance, Liu Bian explained bit by bit: "The common people can be mobilized to carry out simple tasks such as transportation and excavation to make up for the shortage of manpower."

When the imperial court builds a house for them, these refugees will naturally go all out. After all, they may not be able to catch up with such a good thing once in a lifetime, so how can they not be happy?
Lu Su seemed to have expected it, and clasped his hands together: "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, before winter comes, I will solve the winter problem of refugees and live up to Your Majesty's trust."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian suddenly heard something, and hurriedly reminded: "The imperial court needs a group of talents in infrastructure construction, including road construction, house building, canal digging, etc. You should pay more attention to it and try to train a batch of talents for the imperial court."

"If the manpower is not enough, call it from the play servant She. Those who perform outstandingly may become the subordinate officials of the Shaofu in the future, or they will be the subordinate officials of the master craftsman."

Lu Su nodded, "Here."

"Since that's the case, you should step back first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to the palace to look for me at any time."

"Here."

*****
Yuzhou, Chen County.

Outside Chenting.

Yuan army camp.

Yuan Shu frowned and stared at the cowhide map, wondering what to think.

Beside him, the counselor Yan Xiang had a gloomy face, and said with a twist of his beard: "Anyway, I always feel that Cao Cao is not so easy to be fooled. The more he cooperates with us to increase troops, the more it proves that he has seen through our strategy. "

"Sub-image."

Yuan Shu said impatiently: "Can you stop guessing every time, and have to come up with some evidence? This time we are in a joint operation and temporarily revise the strategy. The previous plan will be in vain."

"This"

Yan Xiang did not have any decent evidence.

The reason why he made such a judgment was based on his own knowledge of Cao Cao: "It is true that I have no evidence, but the Lord should know about Cao Cao. He is suspicious, sinister and cunning by nature."

"at this point!"

Yan Xiang said with great certainty: "When we attacked Yanxian County, we have already experienced it. He actually abandoned the county seat and concentrated his main force in the old house of the Tang family. Has the Lord ever seen such a use of troops before?"

"Sub-image."

Yuan Shu still looked impatient: "I know what you said makes sense, but now that Zhang Miao is on the way to attract troops, is it possible that you can temporarily revise the strategy with a single word?"

"He made a long detour from Yu County before entering Chen County. He spent five full days on the way, and he was careful all the way for fear of revealing his flaws."

"According to intelligence."

Yuan Shu raised his finger to the outside of the tent and said fiercely, "Zhang Miao's army will arrive today. After a day's rest, they will attack Xinji. How do you want me to explain to Zhang Miao?"

"do not forget!"

Yuan Shu's eyes widened angrily, glaring at the other party viciously, and said angrily, "You were the one who proposed to join hands with Zhang Miao, but now it's hard to form an alliance, and you want to play tricks on your allies before the war begins?"

Yan Xiang hurriedly cupped his hands: "My lord, this subordinate is absolutely not."

Yuan Shu stared, and interrupted directly: "What's the basis? What I want is not your speculation, but a real basis!"

"I"

Yan Xiang sighed helplessly: "I didn't."

Yuan Shu scolded in a cold voice: "No, then be honest and follow the plan."

"But."

"Nothing but!"

Before Yan Xiang could speak, Yuan Shu interrupted again: "When Zhang Miao comes, you can explain your concerns again. If Zhang Miao agrees to return to Chenliu, I have absolutely no objection."

Yan Xiang nodded slowly: "The only plan for now, I'm afraid this is the only way to go."

Yuan Shu said coldly: "But in this matter, don't have too much hope, Zhang Miao is not so easy to deal with."

Yan Xiang bowed: "If Zhang Miao disagrees, then we will have to try. Even if we lose, at least I, Yan Xiang, have tried my best."

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long report from outside the tent.

Yuan Shu turned his head to look.

But seeing, his own scout rushed in, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My lord, Zhang Miao has arrived in front of the camp, less than one mile away."

"kindness."

Yuan Shu nodded: "I understand, let's go down."

The scout cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Yuan Shu returned to the top, took off the hanging helmet, and said, "Let's go, let's go to meet you."

Yan Xiang nodded his head: "Here."

The two left the camp.

Wait a moment.

really.

After a while, Zhang Miao led his troops over.

Yuan Shu greeted him personally, smiling all over his face: "Haha! Brother Meng Zhuo, I'm looking forward to you. This time we join forces, we will definitely be able to take down Yingchuan and destroy that Cao Aman!"

"Brother Lulu!"

Zhang Miao arched his hands and stepped forward quickly, also smiling: "You and I have a total of 8 troops, so Ah Cao can't hide the truth from more than [-] people, how can we resist!"

"What's more!"

Zhang Miao said proudly, "I still have General Dian Wei."

After the First Battle of Yanling, Zhang Miao learned about Dianwei's achievements.

Therefore, he desperately promoted Dian Wei to be a school lieutenant, and rewarded Dian Wei with a three-entry house, ten gold horseshoes, and 20 servants to serve his family.

Have to admit.

Zhang Miao, one of the Eight Chefs, was indeed extravagant.

He has never been stingy with money, and believes that as long as the problem can be solved by money, it is not a problem.

Although Dian Wei disdain money, but after all, the family has a mother and children to support, and they have been fleeing for several years, causing them to be displaced. How can he not accept that he can finally have a home this time.

Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to look at the burly man behind Zhang Miao, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, he is a real hero. With such a strong general, why worry about not being able to break through Xinji County."

"go!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's record it."

Zhang Miao waved his hand to make an invitation: "Brother Gonglu please first."

Yuan Shu smiled lightly: "You and I are allies, we have the same status, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, why don't we enter the accounts together, how about that?"

Zhang Miao arched his hands: "Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

Immediately.

The two walked side by side and went straight to the Chinese army.

At the head of the big tent, Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu sat side by side.

On the left and right sides are tiger and wolf generals from their respective battalions, each with their heads held high, as if they were fighting each other and secretly competing.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Zi Xiang, tell us about our plan again."

Yan Xiang naturally knew that this was Yuan Shu giving him a chance: "Here."

Immediately.

Yan Xiang walked up to the cowhide map: "Mr. Zhang, we are fighting together this time. The purpose is to focus on the advantages of both sides, make the most of them, and strive to open Yingchuan's mouth."

"According to the previous plan, now you and I have placed a large number of suspected soldiers in Zhaoling and Fugou, luring Cao Cao's troops to Yanling and Yan County to garrison. Now the number of defenders in Xinji County should be less than [-]."

"but."

Speaking of this, Yan Xiang immediately got to the point: "According to the latest information, Cao Cao once again mobilized [-] troops to Yan County and Yanling, and at the same time, launched a garrison army in Yingchuan County to enter the second county."

Zhang Miao nodded slowly, and Nianxu smiled lightly: "It seems that Cao Cao has indeed caught the trick. Today's Xinji County must be an empty city. Our [-] soldiers and horses are secretly hidden here, and he will definitely be caught off guard."

"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't worry."

On the side, Yuan Shu interrupted and said softly, "Let's just listen to Zi Xiang and finish talking."

Zhang Miao frowned slightly, suddenly felt something strange: "I don't know if Zixiang has anything else to say?"

Yan Xiang cupped his hands: "That's right! Cao Cao has always been insidious and cunning, and he is very good at using troops. I think Zhang County Guard also has a deep understanding of this. When he was at Sishui Pass, Cao Cao showed amazing talent."

"In addition, when he was in Luoyang, he was ordered to intercept Lu Bu, and even set traps repeatedly, weakening Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf riders in stages, and finally captured him alive at the foot of Mang Mountain."

"kindness."

Zhang Miao naturally did not deny Cao Cao's ability: "This Cao Aman is really good at using troops, but so what, isn't he still confused by our fake moves?"

Yan Xiang was not in a hurry to deny it, but he said in a persuasive way: "The Art of War says: What is real is empty, and empty is real. If you can, you can show that you can't, and if you use it, you can show that you don't use it."

"We understand this truth, and he, Cao Cao, also understands it."

"We went to Zhaoling many times to increase troops, and Cao Cao went to Yan County to increase troops several times. The two sides knew each other like dogs and dogs, but they never communicated with each other, and no conflict broke out."

"Just ask Sheriff Zhang:"

Yan Xiang frowned and bowed deeply: "Do you think this is normal? You must know, we have repeatedly increased our troops, and the main force must be gathered here. According to common sense, Cao Cao should come to Yan County to command the battle in person."

"But."

Yan Xiang's voice was slightly drawn out: "As of now, there has been no sign of Cao Cao in the news from our army, not even his generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Hong."

Zhang Miao frowned: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Yan Xiang bowed: "Let me guess, Cao Cao should have guessed the intention of our layout, so the real main force is not in Yan County, let alone Yanling, but in Xinji."

"Even if Cao Cao didn't guess the intention of our layout, he might still concentrate his main force on Xinji, and then rush to help when Yan County and Yanling can't hold on."

hiss-!
Zhang Miao couldn't help gasping: "You mean that Cao Cao concentrated the main force in Xinji, and our current layout just happened to be restrained by Cao Cao?"

"That's right!"

Yan Xiang said with absolute certainty: "It must be so."

Zhang Miao frowned, not annoyed, but asked instead: "Is there any evidence?"

"This"

Yan Xiang was very embarrassed, and shook his head: "There is no definite basis for it."

Zhang Miao suddenly realized and nodded: "In other words, this is just your guess, isn't it?"

Yan Xiang didn't deny it: "That's right!"

Zhang Miao sent out a soul-level rhetorical question: "Then what if you guessed wrong?"

"This"

Yan Xiang didn't dare to make a random decision, so he could only turn a corner and emphasize: "Mr. Zhang, Cao Cao is extraordinary. We must think of the worst in everything, otherwise we will never be able to enter Yingchuan."

Yuan Shu on the side also frowned slightly: "Zi Xiang is right, brother Meng Zhuo, we all know how powerful that Cao thief is, so we must not take it lightly."

Zhang Miao pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Then according to Mr.'s intention, the only solution is the current one, what can I do?"

Yan Xiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "There are three strategies to choose from: upper, middle, and lower."

Zhang Miao nodded and said, "Let's listen."

"The best policy."

Yan Xiang didn't hesitate, and said sonorously: "At this moment, we should do the opposite, use Chenting as a bait, but attack from Zhaoling and Fugou at the same time, and we will surely win in one battle. Flowering on both sides."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhang Miao's heart: "Doesn't this mean that I have to lead the troops back the same way? There will be a delay of several days in the process, not to mention the Yingchuan garrison army rushing to help, if it shows its feet, it will not be worth the loss."

"Sir."

Ten thousand of Zhang Miao were unwilling: "The risk of your best strategy is too high, it is really inappropriate, and if this is the case, the soldiers in Zhang Miao's battalion will definitely complain, which is not conducive to the war."

"Besides!"

Then, Zhang Miao emphasized: "This is just your speculation. If you make a wrong judgment, we will not only miss the opportunity of the battle, but also increase the arrogance of the Cao bandits and make the army's morale drop. This plan cannot be done!"

"Don't worry."

Yan Xiangyi bowed, he was already prepared: "I still have a middle strategy."

Zhang Miao twirled his beard: "It's enough to be straightforward."

"The Sheriff."

Yan Xiang's attitude was respectful: "We can send a general to lead a strong force from our respective armies to attack Yan County and Yanling respectively to test Cao Cao's reaction."

"If these two places are the main force of Cao's army, then send back the news quickly, and our army will immediately kill and rush to Xinji, it is not too late;"

"If these two places are not the main force of Cao's army, then the two armies will continue to attack, and we will send troops to help each other attack. Although it will be a little slower, it should not be a big deal."

"I don't know the sheriff, what do you think?"

"this."

Zhang Miao took a deep breath and pondered for a long time.

Although this strategy doesn't take effect so quickly, it is still winning. Regardless of the result of the test, they all have countermeasures, which is indeed commendable.

but
Zhang Miao did not make up his mind easily, but continued to ask: "Then what is your worst plan?"

Yan Xiang bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Send troops to pretend to attack Xinji to test the opponent's overall strength. If it is the main force, immediately divide the troops into two places and rush to the remaining Zhaoling and Fugou. Otherwise, concentrate our forces to attack."

Zhang Miao frowned and asked curiously, "How to test?"

Yan Xiang explained: "It's very simple! I'm waiting here. I already have [-] soldiers and horses, twice as many as the enemy. I sent them to attack Xinji to test Cao's reaction."

"If he faces the battle normally, there is no beacon fire, and he can deal with it freely and easily, it proves that there must be the main force of Cao's army sitting here. We should immediately divide our troops and start from the other two counties;"

"If they immediately ignite the flames, are exhausted, and suffer heavy losses, it proves that there is no main force of Cao's army sitting here, and we should concentrate our forces to attack as soon as possible."

hiss-!
Zhang Miao frowned when he heard that, and raised his eyes to look at Yan Xiang: "Sir, your three strategies, don't you mean the opposite? How do I feel, this is the best strategy?"

"No!"

Yan Xiang immediately denied it and said: "To attack Xinji with five thousand tactics, it is bound to scare the snake. The Cao thief is very good at using troops. If it is really an empty city, he will definitely react."

"How he will make moves at that time is really hard to guess!"

"therefore."

Yan Xiang bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said loudly: "I think that the best strategy is to hit the winner without disturbing Cao Cao. Although the middle strategy also has the risk of scaring the enemy, but in my judgment, the success rate is extremely high."

"Instead, this is the wrong strategy."

Yan Xiang shook his head in embarrassment, and dismissively said: "Although it seems to be relatively stable, it is actually the most risky. Once the intention is revealed, the war in Yingchuan will definitely be more complicated."

Yuan Shu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Miao: "I know that brother Meng Zhuo has scruples in his heart, but I have to say that Zixiang's inference is indeed reasonable except for the fact that there is no substantive evidence."

"I still hope Brother Meng Zhuo, think twice!"
