Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 444 Situation
"Brother Ziyu's words are wrong. Now the world is in great conflict. Sending troops to seize the prefectures and counties first is the best way to weaken other princes. If both Jingzhou and Yuzhou are captured by our army, there will be thousands of people in the two places. The population resources of [-] people, whether it is food or soldiers, will increase exponentially." Before Gao Cheng answered, he saw Xi Zhicai stand up and take two steps, and said with a smile.

"The general trend of the world is that the weak will prey on the strong, the strong will be strong, and the weak will be destroyed. If the lord can merge Jingxiang to the west and set the Central Plains to the north, he will surely defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome back the emperor. Why worry about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Zhao, standing at the top, couldn't help being a little touched when he heard these impassioned words.For hundreds of years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the hearts of the people have been steadfast. Apart from the careerists who are determined to fight for world hegemony, most of the ordinary scholars have the desire to revive the Han Dynasty deep in their hearts.

Hua Xin was handsome and had a long beard, and he didn't get angry when Xi Zhicai refuted him face-to-face. He just said lightly: "Mr. The foundation of the family. To say something that makes the general angry, Yangzhou now has enough soldiers and food, but after all, it cannot compare with the thousands of years of experience of the Yuan family in Runan!"

If it is a low-level world, Yangzhou's current strength is enough to sweep the world.It's a pity that in the advanced world, soldiers and money are not the biggest factors in the struggle for hegemony.A strong man in the realm of supernatural powers can easily kill an army of ten thousand people by using supernatural powers. If he goes on a killing spree, no amount of power will be able to resist it.

Zhang Zhao and several other scribes from aristocratic families glanced at each other, feeling that what Hua Xin said made sense.The Yuan family is one of the eight great aristocratic families in the world, with countless disciples and old officials, and it is unknown how many masters and guests they have recruited.In particular, Runan is still the foundation of the opponent. Once troops are sent out, no one dares to say that they will win without the ninth level of refining gang or divine weapons.

Now that Lu Dai and Zhou Tai are stationed in Ruyin, they are just relying on the advantage of the warships on Yingshui to hold Ji Ling back.

Xi Zhicai's expression remained the same, he was not frightened by the Yuan family in Runan that Hua Xin said, but said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because of this that we have to dispatch troops as soon as possible. , Send troops first and improve your strength as soon as possible!"

Hua Xin smiled and stopped talking.At the beginning, he was the prefect of Yuzhang and a celebrity in the world. After he was forced to surrender, he came to Shouchun to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang.

Unlike Xi Zhicai and Zhang Zhao, who formally took refuge in Gao Cheng, in terms of his official position in the Han Dynasty, he was Gao Cheng's subordinate and not a retainer.You have done your duty by expressing your own opinions during the discussion.If Gao Cheng sent troops and was defeated by Yuan Shi, it would have nothing to do with him.

Gao Cheng raised his hand and waved it, stopping the discussion between the two of them. Hua Xin was the third Duke of Cao Wei in the future.This person has a profound background, he once worshiped Taiwei Chen Qiu as his teacher, and has a close relationship with the Chen family of Guangling.Now the spiritual power is hidden but not revealed, and it has reached about the fifth level of soul refining.

For such talents, we can only win over them slowly.

Gao Cheng shifted his gaze to a honest young man kneeling on the lower right side, with a smile on his face, he said, "Zijing, you are in charge of soldiers, what's your opinion on sending troops?"

If Gao Cheng's greatest achievement in the Gourd World is the Jiaolong avatar, then the greatest achievement of his body in Yangzhou in the past two or three years is that Lu Su, who was originally known as one of the four heroes of the Eastern Wu in the original timeline, took the initiative to join him.

There are four heroes and twelve tiger ministers in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, four ministers and five tigers in the Shu Han Dynasty, and eight tiger cavalry and five good generals in Cao Wei.These famous ministers and generals are famous in Gaocheng's original world, so they naturally have extraordinary abilities.

After Gao Cheng occupied Yangzhou, many famous ministers and generals who originally belonged to Soochow were brought under his command.Among them, the four heroes of the Eastern Wu are Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Su, and Lu Meng!These four people successively served as the governor and made the most important contribution to Soochow.

Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao at Chibi, Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei at Yiling, and Lu Meng secretly attacked Guan Yu to occupy Jingzhou.On the other hand, Lu Su put forward the best policy to guide the strategy of Soochow.

Now that Zhou Yu and Lu Su have been turned into Gao Cheng's subordinates, it is foreseeable that Lu Xun and Lu Meng will also be brought under his command in the future.After all, Lu Xun is a child of the Lu family in Wu County, and Lu Meng was born in a poor family in Runan, and should have come to Yangzhou during the previous migrations of refugees.

Of course, Lu Xun and Lu Meng are things in the future. Now that Gao Cheng has Zhou Yu and Lu Su, he is already very satisfied.

After Lu Su took refuge in Shouchun, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu talked with him and admired his ability very much, so they recommended him to serve as a soldier and assist Gao Tai in training recruits.Provide reserve force support for Zhou Yu, Lu Dai, and Wu Anguo.The status in Yangzhou is considered medium.

Lu Su looked up at Gao Cheng, feeling a little surprised in his heart. He had suggested several times before, some of which were adopted and some were not.

General You is famous all over the world and has extraordinary achievements in the past, but after his observation, the opponent should have a stable personality. He didn't expect that he suddenly wanted to send troops just now, and he took the initiative to ask for his opinion.

"General You, I think we should send troops, but instead of sending troops to Yuzhou, we should first take Guangling and take all the land south of the Huaihe River! In this way, our army's eastern defense line will be pushed from the Dajiang River to the Huaihe River. At that time, only water will be used. Division, you can block the river, making it difficult for Xuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the border!"

Lu Su stepped forward and bowed his hands, then slowly expressed his opinion. "With the navy blocking the river, General Wu'an, who was originally stationed in Zhongli, can lead his army to Ruyin to support. At this time, if we fight Yuan Shu again, the chances of winning will increase greatly!"

As soon as this remark came out, Xi Zhicai, Hua Xin and the others all changed their expressions slightly, especially Xi Zhicai, only then did he realize that the lord had an additional talent who was good at strategy and calculation.After careful induction, he also found that Lu Su's spiritual power was very obscure, like a bottomless well, hiding a powerful power.

Lu Su was used to keeping a low profile. Except for Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu who knew him a little bit, everyone else only regarded him as a friend with a honest personality who could communicate with each other, and they didn't know his ability.

Gao Cheng laughed, showing admiration.Said: "Zi Jing's words are deeply in line with what I mean. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have deep foundations, and it is difficult to find them in a hurry. Xuzhou Tao Qian, although he has enough food and grass, has few generals under his command. He is the weakest among the three forces. Let me Lead the troops in person, and it will be broken!"

After he returned to Yangzhou to sort out his memories, he had already made a decision to smash the encirclement circle formed by Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian.

"Mr. Zhang, you are the chief of the general's mansion, please sit in the rear for me and prepare food and military supplies!"

Gao Cheng stood up and saluted Zhang Zhao.Zhang Zhao quickly replied: "This subordinate takes orders! I will never disappoint General You's trust."

When the army is dispatched, the most important thing is logistical support.Zhang Zhao is not very good at making plans for marching and fighting, but his ability to prepare money, food and military resources to sort out internal affairs is rare in the world.

Gao Cheng was relieved to leave the rear to him.Of course, apart from Zhang Zhao, there was also Gao Tai guarding the rear.Gao Tai has followed Gao Cheng for many years and has been loyal and loyal. After continuous training, he has gradually grown up.While there are no outstanding strengths, there are also few flaws.Siping and stable, he was named Jianwu General, and his military power is not weak.

It has become a custom for two people, one civil and one military, to sit in the rear.
