I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52 Exchange between Han and Wei?

"Discuss how Wei Jun will counterattack?" Dong Hong was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Heng with surprised eyes.

This... isn't a big deal?

"Sima Yi must have known that we are using cloth to provide large amounts of discounts to the people." Li Heng drank the cup of boiled water on the table, put away "The New Papermaking Technique of the Han Dynasty" and prepared to go out.

Dong Hong's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked excitedly: "If Sima Yi knows, will he send troops?"

"will not."

"Then how does he cope?"

"Send a memorial to Luoyang and ask Cao Rui for instructions."

"Then wouldn't we be better off?"

Li Heng suddenly stopped, looked at Dong Hong, and said: "Sima Yi has no solution in this game. He only dares to send a small group of cavalry to drive him away. It is wisest to leave the decision to Cao Rui."

"Then what will Master Wei do?" Dong Hong continued to ask.

"It is inevitable for Chang'an to increase troops in the future. It depends on when the troops will be increased."

"next month?"

"The additional troops will be divided into batches. All the Wei troops stationed on the western front will gather first, and Luoyang will gradually recruit troops to continue to increase troops."

"Listening to what Duke Ming said, Wei Guo has no choice?"

"Yes, there is no choice." Li Hengfeng said lightly.

This is Yang Conspiracy.

I'm not afraid at all that you know I'm bribing people with cloth.

I even deliberately made a big show of it to let you know.

How can you?

"How much more troops will Wei Guo increase?"

"I have no way of knowing. It could increase to [-]."

Dong Hong's heart beat faster and faster, and he became more and more excited. He continued to ask: "It seems that we have won this round."

"can not confirm."

"why?"

"Master Wei will not let us get more people. Wei will gather the first batch of heavy troops and we will fight a battle head-on."

"Isn't Wei Jun always unwilling to fight us?"

"Even if we lose, if we can kill the people of Fufeng County and consume us, Lord Wei will still be considered a winner."

"how do I say this?"

"Because Lord Wei will also gather a second group of heavy troops. Wei's purpose is to destroy Fufeng County, make it deserted, make us lose our foundation, and force us to retreat."

Dong Hong thought of something and said, "Then we can advance westward to Longxi."

"If the battle reaches that point, even if we win the frontal battlefield, our losses will be considerable. If we go deep into Longyou to attack the city, once the Wei army's reinforcements arrive, we will be blocked in Longyou."

Dong Hong took a breath and his face tightened: "Then how do we break the situation?"

"If you can't hold on, no matter how the Wei army provokes you next!"

"This..." Dong Hong was completely confused.

Why did the situation suddenly turn around?
In the past, we were in a hurry to attack the Wei army, but the Wei army could not hold on. Now it is the Wei army's turn to rush to attack us?
"Of course, if we can't hold on, the Wei army will learn from us, build more defense lines, fight a protracted war with us, and slowly consume us with their huge manpower advantage."

Having said this, Li Heng waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Ziling, why are you asking so much? I will know when the time comes."

After saying that, Li Heng walked out.

After becoming the prime minister and joining the army, he was assigned a horse.

With the help of others, Li Heng mounted the horse.

He thought to himself that the stirrups of the Three Kingdoms were not easy to use, and they did not seem to be equipped for cavalry in battle. They were just for the convenience of mounting horses.The cavalry tactics of this era have not yet developed the tactics of large-scale impact and cutting.

We definitely can't get the stirrups out now.

The Han army does not have many cavalry, and if the double stirrups are transmitted to the Wei army, it will only make the enemy more powerful.

Let's wait until the prime minister gets a large number of war horses in Longyou before making them.

Soon, Li Heng arrived at Wuzhangyuan, Zhuge Liang's headquarters camp.

At this time, some key generals have arrived.

Wei Yan, Jiang Wei and others, Yang Yi, Fei Yi and others will naturally not be absent, and even Meng Yan, Ma Dai and others are here.

"See Prime Minister."

"Jian, sit down."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang said: "Chang Wen, please tell us about the movements of the Wei army during this period."

Wei Yan said: "Since we started delivering cloth, small detachments of cavalry from the Wei army appeared many times to drive away the people. They fought with our army twice, but there was no victory or defeat. The Wei army retreated quickly. In the next few days, Sima Yi did not continue. Increase the number of troops, and it will still be just a small group of cavalry roaming around.”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei said: "Sima Yi either hasn't discovered that we can recruit a large number of people every day, or after discovering it, he is unwilling to go to war and has asked the Lord Wei for instructions. The general believes that the latter situation is possible Bigger.”

Fei Yi said: "The lower official also agrees with what Boyue said."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Sima Yi has no second choice. He can only wait for Lord Wei to make a decision. But please tell me, what will Lord Wei do?"

"Master Wei will increase his troops." Wei Yan said, "Master Wei must increase his troops, otherwise they can only watch us grow. Once they give up the opportunity to consume us, they will pay a heavy price in the coming year."

Zhuge Liang nodded again, obviously agreeing with what Wei Yan said.

"So, our opportunity will come next." Wei Yan's whole body was full of energy. "The Lord Wei has increased his troops and even personally sat in Chang'an. The Wei army will definitely send troops. I have long wanted to fight with the Wei army!"

Jiang Wei also became excited and said: "If this is the case, we can discuss how to lure the main force of the Wei army out and annihilate the main force of the Wei army in one fell swoop!"

Yang Yi seemed to be quite happy, and did not go against Wei Yan and said: "This is a fighting opportunity! We should take back Chang'an in one fell swoop!"

Meng Yan and Ma Dai also nodded.

"Jian, what do you think?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked.

Li Heng hesitated.

Zhuge Liang said: "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"Indeed."

"You can say it anyway."

Li Heng stood up, saluted Zhuge Liang, and saluted the people around him, and said, "I agree with what Bo Yue said. The Lord of Wei will increase his troops, and the Lord of Wei will increase his troops twice, so that he can dispatch the troops nearby." The battleable troops in Guanzhong will be given to Sima Yi, and elite troops will be transferred from Luoyang for the second time, while the Wei Lord himself will arrive in Chang'an first."

"Why did Lord Wei increase his troops twice?" Fei Yi asked.

"The first time is an emergency reinforcement. I ordered Sima Yi's troops to fight our army quickly, regardless of victory or defeat!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Winning or losing?" Fei Yi asked doubtfully, "Why did the Wei army behave like this?"

"The first is to consume us, the second is to frighten away the people through fighting and hinder our recruitment of people, and the third is to prepare for the next larger-scale war."

"A larger scale?" Jiang Wei asked, "How do you say this?"

"That is Lord Wei's second increase in troops."

"What do you mean, the Lord of Wei is coming with all the strength of his country?" Yang Yi asked.

"It can't be said to be overwhelming, but it will definitely mobilize many more troops than before!"

"What's going on with Sun Wu?" Yang Yi asked, "If Master Wei dispatches all the main forces here, Sun Quan will make him unable to sleep!"

As soon as Yang Yi said this, a voice suddenly came from outside the account: "Report! Urgent military report from the capital!"
