God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1439 As always

...

However, after listening to what Li Yan said, everyone present fell into silence.

Even if their ability is not enough, they can still compare by simply comparing numbers.

The real data gap can also shake the soul and make people understand the gap.

Among the people present, Yuan Shu's stability was actually quite good.

"Just for the most basic troops, in terms of quantity and equipment, is the gap so obvious?" Zhou Yu, who also returned to Shouchun City and participated in this meeting, felt real pressure.

If it were just the number of troops, the pressure would not be too great for Zhou Yu.

Whether it's 400,000 or 1 million, it really doesn't make much difference.

After all, in today's world, there are many battlefields that can accommodate this number of people, but he is not an idiot, and he can't even choose the battlefield.

And once on a suitable battlefield, just like the battle between him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, each of them obviously had a huge force, but in the end, during the battle, the force was pitifully small.

No matter whether you lose or win, the difference is within your control.

Terrain is also one of the constraints that restricts the deployment of troops by both sides, and it is also a force that can be utilized.

Even if they can get some war horses through trading with Cao Cao, how much balance can be left for them if Cao Cao wants to use them himself?

Liu Bei has a huge foundation and fault tolerance rate, and their foundation and fault tolerance rate are not low. With a population of nearly 10 million, the number of troops they can pull out is actually quite large.

After all, things like war horses are truly difficult to solve.

These seemingly invisible things are what make Zhou Yu feel the pressure.

In this case, suitable terrain can ensure that both sides invest the same amount of troops, but the number of troops they rotate is different.

That kind of cavalry troop with thousands of horses galloping and whizzing by can really trample on people's souls, giving people a heavy shock and spiritual blow.

Although they also have some cavalry units, these units are all cavalry that have been left behind. In terms of war horses, they are extremely scarce. One less horse is one less horse.

"In addition to the basic troops, it also includes cavalry troops. The north is the battlefield of cavalry after all. A large number of cavalry troops really have the ability to determine the outcome of the battlefield..." Li Yan is not weak in ability. Naturally, he has seen a lot of things, and also Saw that stunning cavalry.

When Zhou Yu heard about the cavalry, his brows furrowed even more, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, Zhao Yun could have such a terrifying breakthrough ability. Isn't it because of the power brought by the war horse?

But even so, Zhou Yu had no practical solution.

These may be the impact on internal affairs, as well as the development of people's livelihood and economic development, which are the aspects that give Zhou Yu a headache.

In these aspects, even if Zhou Yu is a genius, his abilities are still far behind the world.

What really put pressure on Zhou Yu was the genuine armor and the logistical pressure of massing the army on a large scale without affecting the state and people's livelihood at all.

Zhou Yu is also very aware of the power generated by large-scale cavalry.

"No matter how strong Liu Xuande is, he is still Liu Xuande. The top priority now is how to deal with the Xiongnu. This is the most important thing. As for other things, they can all be extended backwards..." Yuan Shu spoke on the spot, blocking everyone present. thinking and put forward their own requirements.

The clear language attitude can be regarded as indicating his intention to send troops.

Liu Xuande was so powerful that he might be able to defeat the Huns as a single force, but it had nothing to do with him. Liu Bei is Liu Bei, he is him.

Just because Liu Bei can solve the problem does not mean that he will not send troops.

"It's okay to send troops, but should we go by foot or by sea?" Zhou Yu spoke directly, which was regarded as a question and a self-question.

Based on where they are currently, they want the army to head north in a reasonable manner and reach the northern grasslands.

Whether traveling by land or sea, it takes a lot of time.

After all, the area where the Huns currently appear is closer to the Hetao area.

If you take the sea route, you will also need to cross a large grassland, which will put great pressure on logistics.

But if you take the land route and use the emperor's edict to obtain supplies along the way, there will be no logistical pressure.

However, this kind of behavior is equivalent to going deep into Cao Cao's sphere of influence. Once an accident occurs, it will be difficult to cover up.

"Going by land, since the emperor can issue such an edict and Cao Mengde does not stop it, it is already an allowed behavior!" In terms of family relationships and trust, Yuan Shu was more sensitive and decisive.

Regarding the pride of the family and the honor of the family, Yuan Shu was more persistent and paranoid than others.

While I believe in my own way of dealing with others, I also believe in Cao Cao's abilities and handling methods.

Seeing that Yuan Shu had made a decision, Zhou Yu felt relieved in his heart.

He didn't have any objections to that route.

But the conflict between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao was the reason why Zhou Yu couldn't say it clearly.

Since Yuan Shu didn't take this seriously, Zhou Yu felt a lot more relaxed and nodded seriously.

The troops assembled in Shouchun City in advance, after getting the results, headed directly north, passing through Cao Cao's sphere of influence to the north!

Sun Ce was also quite happy about this. Maybe with luck, he could meet that arrogant young man and once again use his fists to make him understand what it means to be strong!

Of course, Zhou Yu did not lead many soldiers, after all, after fighting Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.

Zhou Yu also knew what kind of troops he should lead.

Pure numbers cannot determine everything in any aspect, even if he can exert the strength of that number.

However, with too many people, even with the emperor's edict, it may be difficult for the cities along the way to supply supplies.

Realistic constraints limited the number of troops they could dispatch.

Based on this condition, Zhou Yu only brought 50,000 troops, which was the same strength as Liu Bei when he set out.

And among these 50,000 people, they even brought a handful of cavalry troops and headed directly to the north!

And this unit, to Zhou Yu, can be regarded as a truly elite unit.

To be able to allow the North to assemble troops on such a large scale, no matter what, the troops he brings must not be weak, otherwise, it will be another kind of drag.
