Plan ahead.

Self is what it should be.

Besides Cao Cao and his son, those present were the only three counselors in the entire Cao family group.

None of them are the top generation in the world.

So Cao Cao's voice just fell.

Chen Gong, who is currently in charge of military affairs, stood up on his own initiative and said while cupping his hands towards Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the top priority should be to recruit soldiers. After the battle against Dong Zhuo, our army has only [-] troops left."

"If it is used to guard the whole county and wipe out bandits and thieves on weekdays, it is more than enough. If it can be used to deal with a large-scale battle, it seems too rare, and it can be said to be stretched."

"Therefore, my subordinates suggest that we immediately dispatch a few generals to the surrounding counties with money and food to recruit village warriors. If we can expand the number of soldiers before the war spreads to this county, then our army should be able to fight in the next big battle." More odds."

Cao Cao nodded happily.

Military strength is the foundation of everything.

Generals, weapons, terrain, tactics and tactics are of course important.

But everything needs to be based on strength.

If there are no soldiers available, no matter how powerful the general is, he will not be able to play well.

Therefore, after Chen Gong's voice fell.

Cao Cao immediately recorded it before the case.

"Gongtai's words are very reasonable. I will allocate money and food later and order Han Hao, Shi Huan, and Wei Zi to recruit soldiers from the surrounding counties."

"At the moment, the war is about to break out. I hope they can go back early, so that we can at least double the strength of our army before the situation gets worse!"

Because Cao Cao was not ambushed by Xu Rong in the battle against Dong Zhuo, Wei Zi lived well.

As for Han Hao and Shi Huan, they are currently under Cao Cao's command, except for the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou, they have the highest status and trustworthiness.

Shi Huan was one of Cao Cao's recruits when he recruited soldiers in this county and Chenliu before he felled Dong. Cao Cao regarded him as his confidant.

And Han Hao was kidnapped by Xia Houdun, and like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was threatened by Dong Zhuo with the lives of his family members.

But Han Hao refused to obey, Xiahou Dun was deeply surprised, so he simply recruited him, which can be regarded as taking a talent from the hands of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi.

For these people.

Cao Cao is quite relieved.

Also recognize their abilities.

So write down the names one by one.

……

And after Chen Gong sat down.

Xun You, who has just joined the ranks and hasn't made a plan yet, feels that it's time for him to stand up and show his talent.

After all, Cao Ang entrusted him with important tasks.

When he was in the prison in Luoyang City, he was even more sincere and sincerely invited him to join the team. If he couldn't show his role, wouldn't it be a waste of General Cao's painstaking efforts?
So accompanied by Chen Gong, he returned to his original position.

Xun You stood up, waved his sleeves and came into the hall.

He bowed to Cao Cao and Cao Ang respectively, and then said in a melodious voice: "Actually, if you want to know what to do now, you should first figure out what the purpose of the Qingzhou ant thief is."

"What do they want to do, what kind of impact will it have on us, so that we can counter it with means!"

Words from a strategic height.

Cao Cao couldn't stop nodding.

These two sentences alone are enough to show Xun You's level. Sure enough, the Xun family in Yingchuan is not mediocre.

thought here.

Cao Cao couldn't help taking advantage of the gap, glanced at Cao Ang, and then nodded repeatedly.

My son is really very human, he looks like a master, and he is good at gathering the hearts of the world!

And think about it here.

Xun You could hear Xun You continue talking in his ear.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Kanto area was the most severely affected area, especially Qingzhou. After successive suppressions, although it subsided for a while, it was only a temporary hibernation."

"Since the October of the previous year, Qingzhou ant bandits have once again rebelled, attacking the city one after another, burning down the official city, looting food and grass in various places, engulfing the people, and ravaging one side."

"But it is still only active in Qingzhou, and there is no sign of entering Yanzhou and other places."

"It's just that the dilapidated land of Qingzhou is already devastated, and the counties and counties are already in dire straits. How can they withstand the raging of millions of people after bringing women, children, old and weak together?"

"Therefore, the ants are in urgent need of relocation!"

……

Speaking of it.

Xun You took a few steps forward.

After apologizing to Cao Cao, he came to the map where he was standing before, and pointed to the location of Dongguang County, Bohai County.

Then he continued: "After the death of the rebel Zhang Jiao, the most famous leader of the rebels in the world today is the Black Mountain Army that is frequently active in the Jiyou area."

"So after Qingzhou was short of supplies, the first thought of these scattered ant thieves was to go to Jizhou to join the Black Mountain Army. If they could join them, their strength and prestige would definitely increase, and there would be no shortage of food at that time."

"It's just as the Fujun said, this Qingzhou yellow scarf was hit head-on by Fenwu General Gongsun Zan in Dongguang County, Bohai County, and returned in a big defeat."

"Although the most important thing for ant thieves is people, they are obviously scared by General Gongsun, and they don't dare to think about crossing Jizhou."

"Then their purpose of entering the border of Yanzhou is very obvious. It is to use Yanzhou to make a big circle and then go north to join the Black Mountain Army."

Many words.

The analysis is all correct.

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

The purpose and trend of Qingzhou Yellow Turban's invasion of Yanzhou were all analyzed exactly.

It's just where Cao Cao looked at Xun You's finger.

But there is a puzzled look on his face.

"Gongda, what you said is true, but knowing this, how should we respond, and how can we take countermeasures?"

Xun You moved his finger up a little.

……

"Keep the enemy out of the county gate!"

While everyone was surprised by this statement.

Xun You had already tapped lightly on several cities in the northern part of Jiyin County.

"Juancheng, Linqiu, and Yuncheng adjacent to Onozawa, these are the northern gateways of this county."

"If our army can garrison heavy troops in these cities before the flames of war come, and guard the city to the death, and the ants can't attack for a long time, they will take advantage of the trend and enter Dongjun and Qinghe Kingdom to continue to complete their rendezvous with the Black Mountain Army. wish, don’t pester us any more.”

"In this way, the entire county of Jiyin County must be intact. As for the northern county, Yuan Benchu, who is now powerful, has returned with his troops, so let him worry about these things!"

The voice fell.

All was silent.

Everyone couldn't help being shocked.

Even people with good plans like Chen Gong and Xun Yu, after hearing Xun You's plan, their eyes sparkled with brilliance.

Not to mention Cao Cao.

At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly.

I just feel horrified in my heart.

Quite scalp tingling.

It's really a layer-by-layer analysis, and it's a remote way to get in!

Based on the analysis of the purpose and movement of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, a strategy of strictly guarding several gateway cities in the north was formulated.

As such.

It would be able to get rid of the entanglement of the Yellow Turban Army at a lower cost, and the entire Jiyin County would be free from the flames of war.

The only thing to consider.

It's just how to stick to the few cities in the north, and whether Dongjun, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others can survive this wave of bandits after the disaster is diverted to the north.

But the former Cao Cao still has some confidence in himself.

He doesn't have the strength to fight 30 people, but no matter what he thinks, he won't be able to. All Qingzhou soldiers will come to attack his own small cities in the north.

And the latter... what does it matter to me?

Yuan Shao has many generals, strong strength, and enemies he can't bear?
So in Cao Cao's view.

This is a very clever, high-level strategy that can achieve its goals with only a small price.

Really a great talent in the world!
I don't know how Ang'er recruited such a talent under his command?
Cao Cao couldn't help looking at Cao Ang again.

Seeing his innocent face.

I just can't stand the emotion in my heart.

This brat really has some skills, if Xun Gongda hadn't joined him, we really wanted to take him over.

……

After hastily documenting this strategy.

Cao Cao praised Xun Youlian again.

Afterwards, he showed considerable respect and sent Xun You back to his seat.

After that, among the three heroes, only Xun Yu has yet to express his opinion. This is also the most valued one by Cao Cao in the entire system of civil servants and advisors.

Although strictly speaking, Chen Gongtai is his counselor and a civil servant he can directly command, but this does not prevent Cao Cao from valuing Xun Yu.

It really came all the way.

Xun Wenruo paid a lot for the Cao family.

The Cao family's father and son's land is well-organized, and all kinds of affairs are arranged properly, and Cao Cao, the prefect, doesn't even need to worry about it.

If it weren't for him to sit in the rear, how could Cao Cao and Cao Ang fight on the front line without any worries?
Therefore, it is said that Xun Yu has made outstanding achievements!

"Wen Ruo, what can you teach me?"

Cao Cao smiled.

Ask Xun Yu for advice in a gentle tone.

Xun Yu was not stage frightened either.

Standing up neatly, he also saluted Cao Cao and Cao Ang.

Then, like a gentleman, he said in a gentle voice: "Yu doesn't have a good strategy like Gongda, but there is a word to the Fujun, which can inspire people's hearts, boost morale, and let the Fujun know the reason why our army will win."

Cao Cao heard this.

Immediately interested.

My eyes couldn't help but light up.

He raised his right hand slightly, and after making a signal gesture, he said cheerfully, "I would like to hear more about it!"

……

Xun Yu did not leave his seat.

He just stood where he was, with his hands folded in his sleeves, his tone calm and composed, with a confident look in his chest, and he spoke gracefully.

"Thieves like the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou incite the people and coerce the young and strong. They can easily gather tens of thousands or even millions of people. This is the biggest advantage of the moth thieves and ants."

"But in contrast to this, they will have an irreparable disadvantage, that is, the supply of food and grass is not enough to cope with consumption."

"Currently, Qingzhou has been ravaged by ants and thieves. These coerced people can only rely on looting to fill their stomachs. There is no land for farming, and there are no farmers busy in the fields."

"When there is no production in the rear, the front line cannot get food and grass from the rear, so it can only support the war by fighting, and obtain food by looting all the way. Every time a county is captured, it can temporarily deal with the crisis for a period of time."

speak here.

Xun Yu paused for a while.

Give Cao Cao some time to digest.

After seeing a little understanding on Cao Cao's face, he continued.

"And what I want to say next is that once you lead your troops to guard the cities in the north, the time it takes to resist is not as long as imagined."

"Ant thieves are absolutely unstoppable. They spend a lot of time in front of a few cities. After a few waves of offensives, they find that they can't take these cities, and they will immediately turn around and go in other directions."

"In my opinion, with the elite of our army and the bravery and combat skills of our officers and soldiers, it is more than enough to resist several waves of attacks from the bandit army."

"So Yu said, our army will surely win!"

……

"well said!"

Xun Yu just finished speaking.

Cao Cao applauded immediately.

He almost smiled without clapping his hands.

One thing that must be admitted is that Xun Yu's words really gave him great self-confidence and lifted his spirits a bit.

This seems to just emphasize that our army must win.

But in fact it cannot be underestimated.

Especially in wars in an era like the present, morale is a very important factor to measure.

An army with a low morale threshold may only need a small battle loss ratio before the entire army collapses.

On the other hand, even if more than half of the damage is lost, they can still fight bloody battles with the enemy.

Cao Cao was the commander-in-chief of Cao's army.

His confidence can even affect the mental outlook of the entire army. He feels that this battle must be won, and the morale of the soldiers in the army will be high.

When facing the enemy.

It is also possible to continue to fight because of a single thought, thus turning the tide of the battle.

to be honest.

This is equivalent to a successful pre-war mobilization.

An army wants to be invincible.

Strategy and tactics are important, but ideological command is also absolutely essential, and Xun Yu took part of this role.

……

And after writing down Xun Yu's words.

Cao Cao returned to his position.

Standing on a high place, looking down from a high place.

I just feel satisfied and happy in my heart.

"It's really a good fortune to have the help of all the kings. With the good ideas and good strategies offered by you, it's just an ant thief, but it's just a disease of ringworm and scabies!"

"It's fine if they don't come, but if they do come, they will definitely use the king's way to beat them to the ground!"

between words.

After Cao Cao saw Cao Ang, he praised him even more in his heart.

Among the three today, two were under Cao Ang's command, and the strategies they presented were even more formidable.

you could put it that way.

It is now the foundation of the Cao family.

A considerable part of it was fought by Cao Ang himself, and he accounted for a large proportion.

Before that, I thought that Anger was my Cao family's thousands-mile horse, a unicorn who had been rare for so many years, enough to inherit the Cao family's family business and make it prosperous.

But now it seems.

The foundation created by my son will almost surpass the basic foundation of the entire Cao family in a short time.

It's really embarrassing.
