Chapter 118 Follow-up Action Plan

——The remnant of the Yellow Turban will eventually become a commoner of the Han Dynasty in my hands, even if he is the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban.

After Liu Bei heard Chen Xi's plan, he frowned for a moment, and then straightened his eyebrows. After all, it was Yuan Shao's Jizhou that was harmed, and his own Taishan that was fattened.

"So what is your new plan now?" Liu Bei is very interested in this new plan now. Chen Xi's original plan can already make Taishan fat. I really don't know if their current plan can make Taishan fat. What.

Chen Xi shook his head, "The plan is still the original one, and there is not much change in the content." The smile on Chen Xi's lips and the cunning twinkling in his eyes all proved that the truth may not be what Chen Xi said.

The smile at the corner of Chen Xi's mouth began to widen unconsciously, "It's just that the ownership of Jizhou is slightly different," Chen Xi's voice was very calm, but for some reason the calm language was full of temptation.

Liu Bei and others looked at each other in confusion. Doesn't the ownership of Jizhou belong to Yuan Shao's forces? Could it be said that after they went there and plundered it, it would become theirs?

Yang Ji took Chen Xi's words and said, "Zichuan is right. After the recapture of Qingzhou, the original Chen Bing border and the plan to deter Jizhou remain unchanged, but the plan will change a little after the spring plowing."

Yang Ji and Chen Xi looked at each other and said, "We plan to complete the selection and training of Qingzhou's young men between spring plowing and spring grain harvest next year, and then send troops to attack Jizhou and capture Jizhou in one fell swoop!"

Liu Bei and others were unable to realize what Yang Ji said for a moment. When they did, their eyes widened and they looked at Yang Ji and Chen Xi in disbelief.

"Ziyu, are you really kidding me? The time point after the spring harvest next year will not be like what Jizhou is now. It is only because Yuan Shao has just taken control of Jizhou and is sorting out Han Fu's traces that all the places in Jizhou will be destroyed. Beware of emptiness.

This means that if we start a war with Yuan Shao next July, we will face a complete Jizhou, a Jizhou that will not have too many flaws, and a Jizhou that can only fight with serious troops.

If we fight with regular troops, Jizhou's strength can bring out at least 20, or even 400,000 troops. Whether we can pull out 100,000 troops before next year is a question. "

Liu Bei said with some worry. Although he didn't know what Chen Xi and Yang Ji were planning in this regard, he could still guess what changes would happen in Jizhou in a year's time.

Liu Bei was not doubting whether Chen Xi and Yang Ji could directly overthrow Yuan Shao in Jizhou next year, but he was worried about what price they would pay to overthrow Jizhou.

Jizhou next year will not be like it is now. Due to the change of top leaders, the defense will be empty. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will definitely deploy a heavy defense on the southern border when competing with Youzhou. Because of Liu Bei He is Gongsun Zan's junior brother, and Lu Zhi is also in Mount Tai now, which is enough.

Yang Ji and Chen Xi looked at each other. Yang Ji said to Liu Bei, "We have also considered the issue of disparity in military strength." Yang Ji directly added Chen Xi's name.

"After regaining Qingzhou, the number of common people under our command will be close to four million, while the number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou will be about three million, and most of these three million people will be young and strong.

If we can absorb all these people under our command, then the population gap between us and Jizhou will be shortened sharply, and the number of troops we can support will also increase significantly.

With these young men, Wenze and I will be able to train at least 100,000 elites and 200,000 regular soldiers by July next year, adding up to a total of 300,000 troops.

With these 300,000 troops and Zichuan's logistics, our family is enough to fight a head-on war with Jizhou, which was formed by the merger of multiple forces, and shake the entire Han Dynasty! "

In fact, according to Yang Ji's estimation, if Taishan's side can capture all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and remove some of the chess pieces, they can definitely pull out an army of 400,000.

But Yang Ji thought about it and felt that he still couldn't trust his commanding ability too much. Although he could command an army of more than 100,000 people, he could also issue corresponding combat orders according to changes in the battlefield.

However, Yang Ji himself is not good at multi-line command. The number of command lines he can command is just qualified for the command of a large army. Now Yang Ji can only manage twenty-five command lines.

When Yang Ji was commanding the army, the most comfortable range was around 100,000 troops. Within this range, Yang Ji could extend his command line deep into the front-line centurions, so that he could use superior force to divide and surround the opposite side, one by one. Annihilation.

However, what Yang Ji is best at is leading his own army directly up to the enemy's command center, violently dismantling the command nodes blocking the road, opening the passage for the large forces to move forward, uniting the troops together, and then swarming into the enemy's command center. Capture or kill enemy commanders.

Yang Ji did not intend to let Lu Zhi appear on the battlefield between them and Yuan Shao. The victory of this war with Yuan Shao must be won by them.

If Lu Zhi appears on the battlefield between them and Yuan Shao, even if they win the war, even if Lu Zhi only exists as insurance on the battlefield.

He did not contribute a single bit of effort in combat, but there will always be people who feel that Liu Bei's side relied on Lu Zhi's power to win this war.

But now in Taishan County, apart from himself, there is only one Lu Zhi who is the commander of the large army, and there is not even one left who can command more than 50,000 people.

Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun have the potential to become commanders of large armies, they have not yet realized their potential. Even Guan Yu, who has the strongest command ability, can only command 20,000 to 30,000 people. If there are more, You'll be in a hurry.

Yang Ji didn't know whether Chen Xi had the ability to command a large army, but he knew that Chen Xi could definitely command other leading generals well and let these generals exert their due combat effectiveness.

It seems to be the modular command mentioned in the original work, and it seems that Chen Xi himself told the generals of the Han Dynasty about this concept, so Chen Xi himself must know how to use this modular command, otherwise how could he give it to those generals? Make it clear.

At that time, Yang Ji will lead the most elite 100,000 troops to face Yuan Shao's main army. Chen Xi will lead the remaining 200,000 troops to hold off Yuan Shao's astonishing number of partial troops.

By then, the total troops invested by Liu and Yuan may reach 600,000. The scale of the battlefield at this level will definitely shock most of the princes in the entire Han Dynasty.

And when Liu Bei sends troops to Jizhou, Gongsun Zan in the north will definitely send troops to threaten Jizhou from north to south, so that Yuan Shao will not dare to mobilize all his troops to deal with Liu Bei's attack. Liu Bei and others opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say, because they all knew that with Chen Xi's ability, he could definitely do what Yang Ji said just now.

The guess here is that Lu Su, who just arrived, doesn't quite know what Chen Xi's abilities can achieve, but now just listening to Yang Ji's story, he knows that this is a highly executable plan.

As long as Yang Ji can really train an army of 300,000 people and solve the food problem after regaining Qingzhou, the people of Qingzhou will truly recognize their rule.

"So, you two can't decide. What you need to report to me is that there are not enough generals at the grassroots level, and you want to select from those Yellow Turban generals who surrendered?"

After the initial confusion in Liu Bei's mind, he already knew where the biggest flaw in Yang Ji and Chen Xi's plan was. This was the main reason why Liu Bei agreed to Chen Xi's suggestion and let Yang Ji train new recruits.

At the beginning, except for Yang Ji, basically no one of their Taishan generals knew how to train troops, and they had to select grassroots generals with certain command capabilities, and they even less had this ability.

Even Chen Xi, who claims to be good at everything, can only command others. It's okay to let him make training plans and so on, but asking him to go off the field to train soldiers makes him very confused.

Others are the same. They can command soldiers to fight, but they cannot train soldiers. After all, their headquarters have naturally mastered basic combat qualities in battle.

Liu Bei still remembers that the reason given by Chen Xi was that their grassroots generals were seriously insufficient. If they expanded the army on a large scale in the future, they would need to dismantle the elite backbone of the existing legions.

Filling these elite backbones into the new army to become grassroots officers, and then adding new recruits to the existing legions will result in a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the existing legions.

But the combat effectiveness of the existing legions is the fundamental reason why they can gain a foothold here. Liu Bei doesn't want to bet on whether anyone will take action against them when they are adjusting to the new legion.

When Liu Bei saw the silence of Yang Ji and Chen Xi, he understood what they were worried about. He became a prince with his own base because of his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

But now, because of their status as clan members of the Han Dynasty, how to deal with the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers has become a headache for them. For those ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, they can just ignore them.

But for those Qushuai, especially those who are more famous, we can't just ignore them. The relationship between the two must be properly handled, otherwise it will be easy for both sides to not get the best of each other.

However, this kind of restraint is for other Han clan members. Liu Bei will not be restrained by his identity. "He is just a handsome man with a yellow scarf. I will bear everything!" Liu Bei's voice was calm and firm.

After hearing Liu Bei's calm declaration, everyone present stood up and saluted Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who had shouldered the wishes of these relatively special people, deserved this salute.

After Liu Bei agreed to Chen Xi and Yang Ji's plan, everyone present gave their own suggestions for the plan, checking for gaps and filling in the gaps from their own perspectives.

However, they did not express their opinions on Jizhou's plan in the follow-up. After all, even Qingzhou has not been recovered yet, so it is still too early to talk about this.

Before the previous Qingzhou strategy plan is completed, no one knows what kind of accident will happen in the middle, which will lead to the collapse of the subsequent plan, so now it is better to let Yang Ji and Chen Xi take charge of this matter. At most, they will Looking for faults and whatnot.

"Ziyu, this is an army of 300,000 people. Can you command it? Otherwise, we should take Master Lu with us, even if it is as insurance." Fan Qin said worriedly.

"Hue Bo actually knows about the command of the army. Logically speaking, your family shouldn't have records of this?" Yang Ji did not answer Fan Qin directly, but asked a little strangely.

After everyone heard the conversation between Yang Ji and Fan Qin, their eyes shone with curiosity. This was the first time they heard the rare term "commander of a large army".

"After all, my family is also one of the many aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty. Although it is not as good as those top aristocratic families, compared to some of them, my family's inheritance is relatively orderly and long-standing, and it has existed for a long time. I will always encounter some rather... outrageous things, and then they will be recorded by my ancestors."

Fan Qin scratched his head and said that he saw these in the notes of his ancestors, and he didn't know much.

After hearing Fan Qin's words, everyone remembered that Fan Qin was also a son of an aristocratic family. Although the Fan family seemed relatively low-key among the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty, they were still a family that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Fan Qin shifted the topic back to Yang Ji, "Ziyu, are you the commander of the army now? If not, I suggest you bring along Master Lu. If so, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yang Ji nodded, "About 100,000 soldiers are the comfort zone of my command ability, and troops of this magnitude are also when my command bonus to the group army is the greatest.

As for a force of more than 150,000, I don't know if I can still command it. At my peak, I only commanded an army of 120,000, and I sacrificed a certain command bonus in exchange for it. "

Although the people present did not know the specific situation of the army's command, they could still clearly distinguish the numerical difference between one hundred thousand and three hundred thousand.

"Ziyu, what is the realm of commanding a large army? Can it be said that only those who can command a certain number of troops can be called a commander of a large army?" Chen Xi asked with interest.

If it is really just how many troops he can command, it seems that he can also be called the commander of the large army. After all, he is really commanding hundreds of thousands of people in Taishan to carry out construction.
