Not only Yao Guangxiao, but also Wang Meng, Wei Zheng and others all had high fighting spirit on their faces.

"Lieutenant, you are the head of the generals and control the entire strength of our Jin Army. Please introduce to you the current strength of our Jin Army."

Now that he has plans to take action, Ying Xi also wants to know how many troops he has after recharging his energy for a year.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

"promise!"

Xue Rengui stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"After more than a year of rest and reorganization, our Jin country has established a new army of 120,000."

"The standing combat force is 3,000 Bingzhou cavalry, 3,000 Wei soldiers, 3,000 Iron Eagle guards, 2,000 personal guards affiliated with the king, 30,000 light cavalry, including 3,000 horse archers, 20,000 crossbowmen, and the rest All are foot soldiers.

"There are a total of 20,000 troops in various counties, counties and pass defenders. Under General Xu Huang, there are 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the field.

"The total strength of our Jin state is approximately 160,000, of which 120,000 are capable of mobilizing for combat.

The total strength of 160,000 troops and the combat troops of 120,000 were barely in line with Ying Xi's wishes.

The number of soldiers is not large, but elite. Ying Xi still wants to take the route of elite soldiers and strong generals.

Otherwise, with the influx of people in Jin this year, even if it recruits tens of thousands of new soldiers, it will still be more than enough to kill.

"Since you all want to send troops, I wonder who the Jin Kingdom will target?"

Ying Xi glanced at everyone and asked again.

"Jizhou."

Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao, the head of the hundred officials, spoke out again.

"Although Dong Zhuo has been drowning in drunken ponds and meat forests all day long, he still has strong troops and horses in the land of Yongliang, and Hangu Pass is a dangerous place, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Dong Zhuo holds the emperor in his hand. Let's march to Chang'an at this time. Once it is delayed, I am afraid that all the princes will take advantage of it and come in to plot against our Jin country.

"The Central Plains areas such as Yanzhou and Yuzhou are the places of the Four Wars. Once you enter them, you need to invest a lot of troops to guard against the invasion of various princes. It is easy to attack but difficult to defend."

After analyzing the disadvantages of attacking Dong Zhuo and the Central Plains, Yao Guangxiao then pointed out the benefits and losses of attacking Jizhou.

"Jizhou has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. It is an important area in the north. Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou, is weak, and Yuan Shao of Bohai is ambitious and is conspiring with Gongsun Zan to plot against Jizhou.

"If our army attacks Jizhou at this time, Han Fu will definitely fight with one heart and one mind to resist our Jin army."

"If we wait and see what happens, when Yuan Shao succeeds in his plot to conquer Jizhou and has not yet annexed the fruits of victory, we will suddenly attack and sweep across Jizhou with the force of thunder, uprooting the forces of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and completely annihilating Yuan Shao. ."

Yao Guangxiao's analysis was clear and logical, and Ying Xi also fell into deep thought.

In Youzhou, Gongsun Zan destroyed Liu Yu and greatly increased his strength. However, his method was too cruel and he used iron-blooded suppression to forcefully suppress the remnants of Liu Yu.

Gongsun Zan's methods caused Liu Yu's old tribe to complain, and it would take him a long time to completely pacify Youzhou Mu Shang.

Although Cao Cao harvested 300,000 Yellow Turban remnants, it would still take a lot of time to completely digest them.

In addition, Cao Cao recently encountered an extremely fatal thing.

Yanzhou is short of food.

Food is the lifeblood of war.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. Food may even determine the outcome of a war.

Historically, Boss Cao was basically in a state of food shortage during wars, and he basically worried about food every time.

Because of this, Yingyi has not made any external expansion for more than a year, but has chosen to suspend troops to gather food and consolidate logistics accumulation.

After the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou were integrated by Cao Cao, the remaining remnants, led by Guan Hai and others, moved to Qingzhou and were aggressively invading various tribes in Qingzhou.

After Liu Bei integrated Xuzhou's resources, he set his sights on Qingzhou. When the Yellow Turban bandits invaded Qingzhou, he stationed troops in Mount Tai, holding high the banner of rescuing the people of Qingzhou, sharpening his sword, and preparing to invade Qingzhou at any time.

The princes from all walks of life were busy with their own affairs and had no time to take care of Jizhou.

If Ying Xi chooses to send troops, he will only have to face people like Yuan Shao.

"Instructions are being sent to the Luowang agents to strengthen surveillance of Jizhou and to ensure that Yuan Shao and Han Fu are closely guarded by the solitary king. If there is any information, please report it at any time."

"General Xue Rengui immediately dispatched troops and generals. When there is a change in Jizhou, he immediately sent troops to attack Jizhou."

"Wang Meng and He Shen are responsible for the deployment of food, grass and baggage for the army and ensuring the logistical supplies of our army."

With Xue Rengui and others taking action, and the Jin army having strong soldiers and horses, it would not be a big problem to deal with Yuan Shao, who had not yet fully risen.

Now that Ying Xi has become the King of Jin, he has no plans to lead the army personally this time. Instead, he wants to let his generals free their hands and make achievements alone.

If he goes there, the many generals under his command will definitely not be able to let go. It will also make people feel that in the entire Jin Kingdom, only he, the King of Jin, can lead the army to fight, and the rest of the generals are at best a group of people who can only charge into battle. Strong general.

The purpose of winning is to let the princes and people of the world see that Jin is full of talents and generals are emerging in endlessly.

"."promise!"

Regarding the decision to win interest, many civil servants and military generals also readily agreed.

The current Jin State really needs Ying Xi to be in charge.

If Ying Xi personally leads the main force of the Jin army to the expedition, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao may not take advantage of the lack of Jin troops to cause trouble in the rear.

After receiving the order, many civil servants and generals also began to get busy, deploying troops and generals. The Jin army, which had been resting for more than a year, quickly assembled. A large amount of grain and grass were shipped to Jinyang from various places to prepare for the expedition. preparation.

Luo Wang even mobilized a large number of spies to monitor every move in Jizhou, keeping an eye on the movements of Han Fu and Yuan Shao.

Ying Xi had just settled the matter with many officials and was about to return to the harem to rest, when he was blocked by Li Shizhen.

"The medical sage came in a hurry, but something big happened to the medical school?" (The money is good)

Seeing Li Shizhen coming in a hurry, Yuan was still a little confused.

Apart from the plans for medical school, Ying Xin could not think of anything else that made Li Shizhen so anxious.

"That's not the case. The truth is that the queen was vomiting this morning and couldn't eat. The minister was ordered to diagnose the queen.

"queen?"

"Is Yan'er sick? What kind of illness is it? Is it serious? Why doesn't anyone come to report to the lonely king?" Ying Xi asked anxiously.

To be able to make Li Shizhen, the medical sage, so anxious, could it be that Cai Yan was suffering from some difficult disease.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen is not suffering from any illness."

"Weichen made a careful diagnosis and discovered that the Queen has a happy pulse. The Queen has been pregnant for a month or two."

"After Wei Chen's diagnosis was correct, he did not dare to waste any time and came here to express his congratulations to the king."

Li Shizhen smiled and congratulated Ying Xi. .
