Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1328 Eat melon

   Boss Cao deserves to be Boss Cao, this wave of operations is really flamboyant, making Fei Qian want to give a thumbs up or something. It's just that Fei Qian knew in his heart that the royalists were still very strong, and the luck of the big man for three or four hundred years was no joke.

   These people may not have such a powerful position or such a huge army, but judging from the incident of Liu Xie's escape from Luoyang, there are still some people who have paid one after another when Liu Xie is obviously at a disadvantage.

  Of course, this may be the last trace of the Han Dynasty. After this wave of people radiates their own light and heat, the great Han Dynasty will inevitably end.

   Save the big man?

  Fei Qian doesn’t have much interest, he just wants to save Huaxia.

Pang Tong laughed twice, and there was a treacherous taste in the laughter, and he didn't know who he learned from, "Cao Pingdong thinks he has a plan, but in fact, fortune and misfortune are uncertain. Anyway, I don't know what happened to others. Yuan Da is sure." It's very frustrating..."

"Yuan Da... the current strength is probably between 100,000 and 120,000. Although it is said that Gongsun has swallowed a lot of fat, it will also be damaged. Come and go, it is about the same... As for the number of civilians dispatched to the battle... count Don't come, Jizhou has a large population, and I'm afraid there will be hundreds of thousands if you do anything casually..." Pang Tong muttered, "Yuan Er, it's a little worse. After taking Jiangdong and integrating it, it will almost have this number, but The Jiangdong gentry probably haven't fully returned to their hearts, so let's get a 20% discount, eighty to ninety thousand..."

"However, both of them have to leave some soldiers to look after the territory, and also to prevent others from stealing the way, and the backyard is on fire, so it's impossible to bring them all. It must be 60% to 70%..." Xu Shu scratched his fingers, Said, "Based on this calculation, if we face each other head-on, Yuan Da's soldiers will be about 70,000, and Yuan's 260,000 soldiers will be a little different. The difference is not very big. Then add the civilian husbands, if the two sides really fight, At least 300,000 people started the battle... tsk tsk..."

Unlike most people in this era, perhaps because of the influence of Fei Qian, when Pang Tong and Xu Shu calculated their military strength, they also began to separate the main soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, civilian husbands, etc., unlike other people. Open your mouth for 200,000 yuan, shut your mouth for 500,000 yuan, grab your beard and eyebrows, as long as it is a person's head, it is considered a military force.

   "You two are so sure that Yuan Da and Yuan Er will fight?" Fei Qian asked with a smile.

"Isn't this obvious?" Pang Tong changed his posture, picked up a folding fan and fanned the wind and said, "Cooperation will benefit, and division will lead to defeat. Naturally, everyone understands this truth, but Yuan Da and Yuan Er have been working together for so many years. Yes, if we want to be together, we will be together long ago... As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and this mountain in Shandong also cannot accommodate two monkeys..."

  Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Merger is easier said than done. If it wasn't for the calculation from the beginning, now, even if the two Yuans want to merge, they may not be willing..."

   "Well, that's true..." Fei Qian also nodded. Not to mention other things, this is the reason why most units in later generations are willing to split rather than merge. How good it is to split, there are a lot of radish pits. How to bear the white radish and carrot?

   Two monkeys fighting for the king is the current script of the Three Kingdoms.

  In terms of family background, Yuan Da and Yuan Er are actually similar. Yuan Shao assumed the status of a party leader, and Yuan Shu took the status of a son of the world's crowned family.

   In terms of population, Jizhou and Yuzhou were originally the two most affluent states in the world. There is not much difference in population ratio. They also have wars and internal conflicts. The conversion is similar.

   In terms of territory, Yuan Da controlled Jizhou, Youzhou, and a part of Sili and Qingzhou. Yuan Er controlled most of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and a small part of Jingzhou and Xuzhou. In comparison, they are roughly the same.

  Yuan Shao is slightly stronger, and Yuan Shu is slightly weaker.

"There is basically nothing wrong with this, but one thing to note is... After Yuan Da defeats General Gongsun, he will have a large number of veterans who have fought in battle... and Yuan Er, hehe..." Fei Qian believes that Yuan Shu is the most important The biggest weakness of the army is actually in the control of the army.

  Yuan Shao's soldiers are all veterans who have fought against the Yellow Turban, Heishan, or Gongsun in the past two years. Even if Yuan Shu has unified the soldiers of Jiangnan and Jiangdong, these soldiers do not have much experience in major wars.

   More importantly, most of Yuan Shao's troops are in his own hands, and Yuan Shu's strongest general is obviously not Ji Ling but Sun Ce, and Sun Ce is building his own territory in Jiangdong.

  So Fei Qian felt that if he didn’t do anything, even though Yuan Shu’s cards were similar to Yuan Shao’s now, in fact, if he really wanted to fight, the result might still be the same as in history, and he would not be Yuan Shao’s opponent.

  However, it is still early, and there is still some room for manipulation.

   "When the two apes come out, Liu Cao must be the vanguard..." Fei Qian said, "It's just that Liu Xuzhou will be unlucky soon..."

Pang Tong laughed a few times, he didn't have the thought of being considerate of Liu Bei in history at all, he still had some taste of gloating, he glanced at Fei Qian to confirm the words he used, "Who made Liu Xuzhou so... to quit, right? But he didn't even think about it, how could Yuan Er bear it when he jumped like this? Hehehe..."

  At present Yuan Da and Yuan Er, which one is stronger, Fei Qian can tell from this aspect, and other people can naturally figure it out, so it is natural to selectively shift bets to places with higher winning rates. It's just that the abandoned Yuan Er is definitely unhappy, and if he doesn't beat the traitor well, the gang's hearts will disperse in the future. How can this team be led?

   Xu Shu went on to say: "Liu Xuande took over Xuzhou, and the hearts of the people are still uncertain... The tribute to the court is just to stabilize himself, and the progress is not enough... I guess most of them will be unable to resist. Once Yuan Er's army arrives, it is estimated that the army will be defeated..."

Fei Qian was drinking herbal tea, almost choked when he heard it, coughed twice, and said: "Ahem... I heard that Liu Xuzhou has two generals under his command, both of whom are known as the enemy of ten thousand... Although they may not win, But it’s not a quick defeat, is it?”

Pang Tong hummed at the side and said: "Xuzhou, I know, if Liu Xuzhou is close to the Chen family, he can resist for a while, but it's a pity that he is with the Mi family...Chen's is a well-known generation who has both sides... When the time comes No way, hehe...Anyway, I don't think Liu Xuzhou has much chance of winning... Ten thousand enemies, is it bragging? It's just high martial arts, hehe, there should be no worries about saving your life on the battlefield. As for relying on two generals to win, then recruit soldiers to do it what?"

  Fei Qian has never met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so it's hard to say whether these two have any destructive power, so he can only laugh a few times.

  The three of them were talking, when a servant under the corridor came to report cautiously, saying that the cold melon had been chilled, and asked if he wanted to serve it...

   Immediately, including Fei Qian, everyone came to their senses, and they kept calling for people to bring it in.

   Cold melon is actually watermelon. It is called cold melon because it is mostly eaten iced in summer. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were already watermelons, and there were simple refrigerators, but these things are one word, expensive.

   It is still an old saying in later generations, are rich people happy?

   No, the happiness of rich people is beyond your imagination...

   Eating melons and watching operas is a joy in life!

  By the way, plant some landmines or something, maybe a few silly roe deer and rabbits will bump into it at some point...

  Anyway, the Central Plains area is now in chaos. For Fei Qian, one is to deploy a military defense line in the Taiyuan Shangdang area, and the other is to find an opportunity to deploy some catalysts. Anyway, as long as the Central Plains does not stop, Guanzhong will naturally develop.

  The three of them were eating melons, muttering together, and laughing knowingly from time to time, which made people feel a little creepy...

  ………………

   Liu Xuzhou's crisis is imminent, and Liu Jingzhou is also very upset now.

  Jing Xiang has been stable during this period, but Liu Biao has been unsteady in his heart, and it can be said that he is not happy at all!

In history, Liu Jingzhou and Liu Biao can be said to be quite a figure. Sitting in Jingxiangnan County and holding an army of 100,000, even Yuan Shu would not easily provoke him. Cao Cao would glance at his face from time to time in the early days But it's just such a person, because he looks too far ahead and looks backward, gradually loses the advantages in the early stage, and then becomes useless in the future.

  However, in Feiqian's time and space, Liu Biao is not as strong as in history.

   Mainly because of Fei Qian.

  This **** guy!

   Liu Biao gritted his teeth just thinking about it.

  Now Jingzhou looks like a whole, but it is actually divided into three parts.

The first part is naturally Liu Biao’s series, and Liu Biao’s banner is divided into three aspects, the confidant faction who followed Liu Biao, the Jingxiang native Cai’s faction who married Liu Biao, and the Kuai’s pro-Liu faction of Nanjun. They belong to the same family, but there are also fights in private.

  The second part is Huang Shi, Huang Chengyan.

  In history, apart from when Brother Zhu got married, Huang Chengyan also made appearances when Lu Xun lost his way. He was basically just a passerby...

Well, having said that, as Brother Zhu’s father-in-law, and it seems that Brother Zhu made a special confession, but the old man still went to save the life of the lost deer. In a way, is this the relationship between Brother Zhu and Lao Huang? What's wrong with the relationship? And this kind of problem arises, will it be because of the relationship with Huang Yueying in history?

  Of course, it is impossible for Fei Qian to know about these problems now, but he just knows that Lao Huang is very prestigious now, and doing business in Wancheng is doing well.

   That's right, Wancheng has now become the largest commercial city in the surrounding area.

Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, is becoming more and more famous. As the marriage, the Huang family is naturally rising. However, Yang Feng, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, who originally occupied Wancheng, are either dead or under Fei Qian's command. Therefore, Wancheng, which is far away from Jingxiang, has gradually become the base of the Huang family. With Huang Zhong sitting in the town, excellent equipment and Huang Chengyan's connections in Jingxiang...

  Even though Liu Biao had thousands of words in his heart and thousands of discomforts, he had no choice but to admit it.

  The third part is the Jingxiang native neutral faction headed by Pang Degong. He neither took the initiative to join Liu Biao, nor expressed his opposition to Liu Biao. It belonged to the kind of nodding and laughing, and everyone cares about each other. Sent people to follow Huang's people to Hanzhong, and then Fei and Xi seemed to be a little moved...

  So in fact, these three parts are all related to Fei Qian, General Zhengxi...

   Liu Biao is really suffering!

  Who does this Jing Xiang belong to?

  Liu Biao couldn't even show his troubles in the government office or in the inner courtyard. You must know that the person next to the pillow is Mrs. Cai. Who knows, if he missed a word, it will spread out in a while...

  So Liu Biao could only look at the bronze mirror every morning, looking at his own figure, silently cheering himself up, not daring to fart.

  But now, it seems that there is a chance to fart... Wrong, it is a chance to turn things around.

Liu Biao believes that the most important thing in his current situation is that he does not have direct military power, not to mention the Cai brothers who are in charge of the soldiers. Anyway, they almost wear the same pair of pants as the Huang family. People from Jingxiang, and some of Liu Biao's own confidantes, it's okay to manage accounts and go on missions, so let them fight...

Therefore, when Gan Ning and Shen Mi fled from eastern Sichuan to Jingxiang, Yi Ji, who was in charge of the contact, narrated that Gan Ning and Shen Mi were quite brave, and they were betrayed by the friendly army before their defeat. After fleeing, Liu Biao seemed to see a glimmer of light. Advent.

  According to Yi Ji, there was originally another person named Lou Fa, but because he was ambushed by Zhao Wei, Lou Fa risked his life to stop the pursuers, and Gan Ning and Shen Mi found a chance to escape.

At first Liu Biao was a little bit contemptuous, after all, there is nothing to pay attention to the defeated general, but after Yi Ji's persuasion, Liu Biao also met him personally, and found that Gan Ning and Shen Mi seemed to be able to use each other, and their military strength seemed to be no better than that of Cai Mao. The difference between Cai He and others, the most important thing is that Gan Ning and Shen Mi are from Jing Xiang's surname!

   Therefore, Liu Biao showed more concern for Gan Ning and Shen Mi than in history, and allocated soldiers and supplies to let Gan Ning and Shen Mi station in Jingxiang.

After a period of training and running-in, Liu Biao decided to let Gan Ning and Shen Mi find a place to try their hands first, and also check the quality of Gan Ning and Shen Mi by the way. After all, the value of a general is still in the battle. can be fully manifested. So I stood up and looked around, and found that there is actually no place to reach out, either Yuzhou or Yangzhou...

   Can’t go over the mountain to fight Yizhou, maybe Gan Ning and Shen Mi will beat the dog with meat buns and never look back.

   Meals need to be eaten bite by bite, and people need to be fattened every meal. Naturally, he didn't want to eat grass when he could eat meat, so Liu Biao asked Gan Ning and Shen Mi to lead the teams to plunder Yuzhou and Yangzhou...

  Hearing that Yuan Shu was going to march into Xuzhou, although Liu Biao didn't think much of Liu Bei as a royal relative, after all, Han Emperor Liu Xie had just met his relatives, and Yuan Shu's doing this was obviously out of face, and Liu Biao also had a reason to send troops.

Border friction? It’s not really a matter of marching into the city and seizing the village. Anyway, it’s almost autumn harvest. Go to the local territory to plunder, attack the enemy and strengthen yourself. At the same time, you can also see Gan Ning and Are the two of Shen Mi as brave as Yi Ji described, they are like a stone with several birds.

  Liu Biao is naturally very proud, but he never imagined that the situation of the Central Plains at this moment is like a powder keg, and a little spark can completely explode the situation that has reached the critical point!
