Chapter 528 Comparison
...

Chen Xi smiled after hearing this and agreed with it.

In fact, it is not just the Xuzhou family, but most families and people.

When the immediate benefits are huge enough, how many people will think about the future?
As for ordinary people, even if they have enough vision and vision to think about the future, there are only a few people who can maintain their original intentions.

In most cases, if you don't eat up the immediate benefits, you will most likely not have the chance to see a bright future.

Only strong people with sufficient capital are qualified to ignore immediate interests and talk about the future.

"Wen He, if this happens, I'm afraid we have to strengthen the intelligence monitoring between Xuzhou and Yanzhou." Chen Xi thought for a moment and the current financial situation, and then said, "I will give you another 2000 million yuan. Let’s learn as much as possible about Cao Mengde’s recent situation.”

"Okay." Jia Xu nodded and agreed.

As for whether the intelligence organization is short of money and whether it needs these 2000 million, that depends on each person.

However, Chen Xi's words also allowed Jia Xu to prove one thing. Some supplies prepared in advance seemed to come in handy. Was this intentional or unintentional?

Regardless of his true thoughts, this behavior is quite reassuring.

"Did the Xuzhou family kill the Cao family?" Liu Ye said in disbelief, "Isn't this a reason for Cao Mengde to start a war? Can they defeat Cao Mengde?"

If Cao Cao had not taken Yingchuan, he believed this.

However, after Cao Cao captured Yingchuan, completely defeated Yuan Shu, and stabilized his territory, the strength he possessed was simply not something that the peaceful Xuzhou family could contend with.

"Xuzhou has 12 county soldiers, [-] veterans in Danyang, and about [-] generals' headquarters. Private soldiers of aristocratic families are not included." Jia Xu told the number of soldiers Xuzhou had without even looking at the information.

"Are Xuzhou County soldiers considered combatable soldiers?" Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu and asked as calmly as possible.

That was a Xuzhou County soldier. Although he had the title of soldier, it did not mean that he was a real combat soldier.

After all, they haven’t fought in so many years. How much fighting power can they still have?
They are the troops used to maintain local security. Their combat effectiveness is so low that it can only be said to be better than nothing.

"It will still be included when calculating military merits." Jia Xu said calmly, like a cold joke.

"Well, after calculating this, we only have more than [-] soldiers who can fight. As for the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, it will be good if they don't cause trouble to Xuzhou Mu." Liu Ye said helplessly.

Even if the family does not cause trouble, Tao Qian, who has only [-] soldiers, can he really defeat Cao Cao?
If Tao Qian were more than ten years younger, he would still believe in this possibility. Does the now-old Tao Qian still have the courage and fighting power of the past?

"Thinking about it this way, Xuzhou Mu Tao Gongzu really doesn't have much ambition for hegemony. Otherwise, with Xuzhou's wealth, recruiting [-] Danyang soldiers would not be a big problem." Fan Qin thought for a while and then said.

If Tao Qian really had [-] Danyang soldiers and had a fight with Cao Cao, there would be no telling who would win.

When Liu Ye heard this, he led himself in this direction, and finally nodded slowly.

"Cao Mengde must have a lot of troops now. Tao Gongzu doesn't have the ambition to dominate the world, but that doesn't mean Cao Mengde doesn't have it!" Liu Ye sighed, feeling a little sad.The world of the Han family has become what it is now, and we still have to work hard to restore what it once was.

"The specific strength of Cao Mengde's troops is not clear, but it is roughly estimated that apart from the troops defending the city, the number of soldiers that can be mobilized for the campaign is around 11 to [-]. It is not ruled out that there are some hidden parts. In addition, this year's continued conflict with Yuan Shu In sex wars, soldiers have higher combat experience and combat effectiveness." Jia Xu said with a calm face.

When Cao Cao's combat power was calculated, even Jia Xu was surprised.

With the support of a large number of Yingchuan families, Cao Cao's development is indeed very fast, at least in terms of war strength.

"One hundred thousand versus sixty thousand? That way there is still a fight. After all, Xuzhou Mu's soldiers can be considered veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time." Liu Ye took a moment to put it into perspective and made a preliminary judgment.

"But I remember that Cao Mengde's army lost a lot of weapons and equipment during the battle with Yuan Shu, didn't it?" Mi Zhu thought of the result of Cao Cao's battle and said calmly, "Losing so much weapons and equipment, Even if there is a spare to replace it, it will take a lot of time, right?"

"At least with the support of rich people like the Wei family, it's easy to solve the problem with just money, food, weapons and equipment." Fan Qin couldn't help but think of the Yingchuan family. Even those ordinary families have such wealth, let alone this kind of wealth. A world-famous rich man.

"Okay, then according to this situation, Tao Gongzu will never be able to defeat Cao Mengde, and our current relationship with Tao Gongzu will definitely inevitably go to support." Liu Ye shook his head and said with some emotion.

After hearing this, everyone nodded. Whether it was maintaining an open alliance, helping allies, or having other agendas, they would definitely go there when the time comes.

What's more, judging from Xuande Gong's character, if Tao Qian really needs support, he will definitely go there, so it is better to prepare in advance.

"After all, we still have time. After all, it's still early to leave the spring. It's too late to wait for a while before mobilizing manpower." Fan Qin thought about the time he was at now, and after thinking about it for a while, he said slowly .

When mobilizing troops in the winter, food consumption is much greater than at other times. It is better to wait until spring before mobilizing troops to support.

The distance from Mount Tai to Xuzhou by horse-drawn carriage along the spacious road would only take five days at most.

With Tao Qian's ability, he wouldn't be able to last even five days.

After Liu Ye thought about it, he nodded.

Cao Cao was also a wise monarch. In such a heavy winter, he would not force his soldiers to go out to fight.

After all, there are a lot of supplies needed for fighting in winter. If you wait another three months, after spring starts, the supplies needed will be much less, and you can be more prepared.

After sufficient preparation, if you go to war, the probability of victory in the war will be increased and the losses will be reduced.

This kind of behavior is more in line with the mentality of a person in power.

"Wen He, does Cao Mengde have the conditions to start a war in winter?" Chen Xi listened to the discussion and turned to look at Jia Xu and asked.

As soon as these words were said, everyone present stopped the discussion, turned to look at Chen Xi, and then turned to look at Jia Xu.
