Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 423 Cao Jun’s Pressure

It has never happened before that Liu Bei mobilized an army of 50 to launch an attack against a certain force.

In the past, even including the baggage and civilian labor, it was basically only around 20 to [-] yuan.

Of course, the ingredients are a bit mixed. First of all, they are the elites of Taishi Ci's tribe and Guan Yu's headquarters. After regular army expansion, the total number is about 4.

Secondly, there were the common people who took the initiative to join the army, and this group totaled [-] soldiers.

In fact, if it is not streamlined, 50 soldiers will not be a problem.

The new recruits have little combat effectiveness and are just cannon fodder on the battlefield. Liu Bei does not want these loyal people to sacrifice in vain.

It was Ju Shou's intention to reduce the number to [-]. Too many troops would be inconvenient to mobilize, mainly because the baggage and supplies would not be able to withstand it.

In addition, Yuan Shu's old department was streamlined and reorganized to 2 people.

Yuan Shao's old army was reduced to 1 people.

The troops under Liu Biao and Liu Zhang were streamlined and reorganized to 4 people.

In addition, Zhang Fei sent an army of [-] to attack Yuzhang in Jiangdong.

In addition, there are [-] navy troops recruited.

There are a total of 20 soldiers, and the additional baggage and civilians add up to a full army of 50.

The so-called large-scale battles in history basically followed this model.

Even Liu Bei is honest enough, otherwise clamoring for 80 troops would not be a problem.

"But if it's 80, Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the combination of these factors is not very auspicious." Zhang He couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the news from the front line.

I don’t know if the Battle of Chibi will happen. In the Battle of Chibi in this world, Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged positions.

Zhang He felt that there was a high probability that the fight would still be impossible, at least until Cao Cao lost Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

But before that, Jiangdong had already been defeated by Zhou Yu and the others, right?
Sun Ce himself did not have time to build a naval army. After all, he had already captured several counties in Runan, and all he needed was to continue attacking the Central Plains.

As for the Jiangdong Navy, Zhang He also knew a little bit about it.

It is mainly a naval force formed with the Jinfan thieves and Jiang thieves as the core.

The leaders were Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning followed Zhou Yu to defect to the imperial court, and Jin Fanjun spontaneously left with his commander.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were a step late and had to be absorbed by Cao Cao, probably unwillingly.

Cao Cao will definitely arrange for his own people to take over, but after all, they are from the north, and they are no match for a real water battle.

In various senses, Cao Cao will most likely give up Jiangdong.

For him, there is no benefit in extending the front line.

Especially since Jiangdong was unfamiliar with the place, he could easily be stabbed in the back by his own people.

This was Zhang He's idea, and it was actually Cao Cao's idea.

After acquiring Jiangdong, Cao Cao did not mobilize or replace Jiangdong officials, but he did not garrison Jiangdong.

Just relying on the original army for defense would be difficult to withstand Liu Bei's crusade.

But if more troops are added, the front will be stretched, and the result of the three-front battle will be the collapse of the entire front.

Cao Cao actually sent troops to station along the Huaihe River, that is, the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang.

As long as these two counties are defended and the Taishan Mountains are used as a barrier, we will initially occupy a good location.

"The Jianghuai area is almost like this. On the Qingzhou side, Jinan Kingdom will be the key defense, and some soldiers will be deployed along the coast to guard the ferry." Guo Jia was a little tired during this period. After all, he and Xi Zhicai originally made plans together, but now they can't do anything. fell on his head.

My physique is not very good, especially because I am busy, so I drink some wine from time to time to relieve stress.

As time went by, the problem of alcoholism became serious and his physical condition further declined.

He suggested to Cao Cao that since Taishi Ci had gone south, he could send a surprise force northward and deep into Hebei to contain the enemy.

Cao Cao did not agree, thinking that Zhang He did it deliberately.

If you hit them, the opponent may kill them at any time, but they will be caught off guard.

Everyone who knows knows that this sum is an immortal, with the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch.

I have received news before that this guy can arrive with an army in a day or two at a distance of two to three hundred miles. What is even more exaggerated is that the army will hardly lose any strength.

Especially if it is not just once or twice, it can no longer be treated as rumors. There is a lot of evidence to prove that it is indeed true.

In this way, going north is a bait, and the other party is planning to let you go north, and then take the opportunity to destroy you.To put it another way, as long as he does not go north, the other party cannot leave the three states of Hebei.

Rather than fighting immortals, the odds of fighting mortals would naturally be greater.

It sounds a bit outrageous, but if you look closely at Zhang He's war data, it is not difficult to see that the battles he personally directed were basically victorious.

There are not even a few who use less to defeat more.

It even gives people the feeling that this is not a war, but purely bullying the children.

Therefore, Guo Jia had no choice but to plan as much as possible under limited conditions.

To say that Cao Cao still has counselors, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye are both good counselors.

However, Cheng Yu was appointed as Yangzhou Shepherd, responsible for the civil affairs and defense in the Jianghuai area, and was not here.

After all, Liu Ye was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao was somewhat afraid and suspicious of him.

The main thing is that we can't guarantee whether this guy is Liu Bei's spy.

So no matter how hard Liu Ye worked, he still couldn't participate in many important things, or even hold too much power.

"Fengxiao, staying up late and drinking too much..." Xun Yu came in. He was also a little tired at the moment, but he was fine.

After all, he is only responsible for logistics, and logistics already has complete procedures, so there will be no problems.

But Guo Jia is different. He has to be responsible for winning, or at least repelling the enemy, but there is no absolute victory in war.

It doesn't matter if you keep losing, as long as you win a big victory, you may be able to turn things around.

On the contrary, even if you win often, everything may be ruined because of a mistake.

The counselors below were not very talented. Among Sun Ce's counselors, Zhang Zhao was not good at strategy, while Zhang Hong was obviously lazy.

Chen Duan and Qin Song hung up their seals and left. It can be said that no one could help Guo Jia.

"I can't do this job without drinking too much." Guo Jia took a sip of wine.

In order not to get drunk, you can't drink too much. This turbid wine is very sour, but it is also refreshing. The main reason is that the alcohol content is not high, so it is not easy to get drunk.

"Drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, especially this bad wine. Didn't I give you a can of tea?" Xun Yu persuaded.

Tea is also said to be refreshing, mainly black tea introduced by Zhang's Chamber of Commerce.

It can be used just by brewing it with hot water, which has indeed aroused the pursuit of many literati and wealthy families.

"I'm not used to drinking that stuff..." Guo Jia replied, "My situation probably has nothing to do with whether the food is refreshing, but a mental illness."

When it comes to Chinese society, many problems are actually caused by pressure, and this has been the case from ancient times to the present.

If you are under a lot of pressure at work or in life, you may overeat, drink alcohol, or use violence. These are all ways to vent your stress.

In foreign countries, you will see a psychologist regularly, but in China, this is relatively taboo, not to mention that the price of a psychologist is not cheap.

When pressure accumulates to a certain level, various problems arise.

Guo Jia's fatigue comes from pressure. Compared with physical fatigue, mental fatigue is the key.

So he needs to drink to relieve stress. Black tea can indeed refresh him, but it can't make him relax.

"Did I do something wrong at the beginning?" Xun Yu reluctantly sat on Guo Jia's side.

If only Cao Cao could be persuaded to relinquish power and submit to Liu Bei...

"The reincarnation of Zhang Hexian is now the governor of Hebei, in charge of the military affairs of the three states. If Liu Bei dominates the world, he will probably give in in the blink of an eye." Guo Jia shook his head, "Besides, what's the point of still struggling with this issue until now? Coping is.”

"What Feng Xiao said is absolutely true!" Xun Yu nodded.

The biggest stone hanging in my heart was finally let go.

　There is a bug. I always thought there were two mountain ranges in the north of Pei County, but they are not.

　　Looking closer, Dangshan County is full of fields, but the color is darker and it looks like mountains.

　　On the other side is Dushan Lake, which seems to be a good location. But in ancient times, there was no such lake, so it was just a river.In other words, apart from the actual Taishan Mountains, it is surrounded by plains and at most some rivers.

　　Therefore, in this battle, Cao Cao would either push to Qingzhou and wait for an opportunity to move north, or go south to Yangzhou and use the Huaihe River as a resistance.

　　Precisely because there was no danger to defend, Guo Jia, as a counselor, was naturally under great pressure.

　　What's more difficult is me, I don't know how to arrange the strategy better.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
