Sun Qian stood up and reported all the supplies consumed this year and the supplies in reserve. Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others who could understand began to calculate after hearing the accurate data, and then looked happy. They looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"This is the situation. There is not much difference in Zichuan's original estimate. After next year's summer grain is put into the warehouse, we will have enough food for ten months without stopping!" Lu Su said calmly. They have already done everything for this day. There are too many preparations. Other princes are excited enough if they have three months of surplus food for fighting, but they have to reserve several times the surplus food.
"All-out war, starting from the border with Bingzhou and the border with Jizhou!" Li You knocked on the several cases in front of him and said. Although he had not shown his strong military vision in front of Liu Bei before, he was struck by Lu Su's words. After being filled with excitement and pride, Li You couldn't help but speak.
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Li You was planning in the next moment. Then he looked at Li You in surprise. He had never thought that Li You had such an astonishing vision. This plan was beyond his previous thoughts. All the plans flashed through.
"Yuan Benchu's strength is not weaker than ours. They are both two and a half states. Yuan Benchu's Jizhou can be said to be the essence of the north. It is not only the best grain-producing land but also a horse-producing land. Similarly, the southern part of Bingzhou is the essence of the three Jins. However, because there was no strong force to suppress the Saibei Hu people in the past, Bingzhou's population was too small and its grain production was not much. But now, if my estimate is correct, Tian Yuanhao and others should be moving the population to Bingzhou." Li You ignored Liu Ye's look and stood up. said.
In fact, when Li You saw Liu Ye's expression, he knew that his performance was a bit too much. After all, if he had not experienced some things, it would be difficult for him to think of them even if he was as smart as Liu Ye. However, since he had already spoken, he did not finish his words. , but it will attract people's attention, rather than directly giving them a deep impression.
"Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou are all horse-producing places, and Yuan Benchu himself is well-equipped with troops and food. The children of Bingzhou are not satisfied with Yuan Shao's efforts to fight against Xianbei, but as long as Yuan Shao helps them completely clear the north of the Great Wall Baili, if Yuan Shao sends troops, the children of Bingzhou will automatically join the army!" When Li You said this, he was filled with sighs in his heart.
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo at that time also focused on infantry at the beginning, and Li Ru did the same thing as Tian Feng does now. In Xiliang, he completely overwhelmed the Qiang with less than one-third of the Qiang people. This is how the Liang Iron Cavalry gathered together. When Dong Zhuo left, the men from Xiliang followed up on their horses, and those people were the most elite flying bear army under Dong Zhuo's command!
The men in the border counties value loyalty. If Yuan Shao puts an end to their war with the Hu people and allows the people of the border counties to completely overwhelm the Hu people, then these people will buy their lives for Yuan Shao!
The truly elite cavalry in the late Han Dynasty, whether they were Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, or Baima Yicong, were all automatically attached to the wings. This kind of cavalry was extremely loyal and brave. Natural combat effectiveness has also reached the top level.
This is also the reason why the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, even though they have powerful equipment advantages, are only slightly better than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but their number is only one-tenth of the number of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. A group composed of brave men under heavy reward will never be able to A brave man who transcends and follows his faith.
"At that time, we estimate that we will mainly have to deal with cavalry. It is estimated that the opponent's combat effectiveness will not be lower than that of the two existing cavalry." Li You said calmly, "From this aspect, we have a lot of strength and types of troops. We don’t have an advantage, we are even at a disadvantage, but our team is strong enough.”
"Wen Ru, you can consider your plan, but it's not yet time for us to start a full-scale war with Yuan Shao. We will study it when that time comes. Now we'd better listen to Zijing's report." Liu Bei smiled and said, still This is not the time for an all-out war.
"Here." Li You calmly returned to his seat and sat down.
Li You also knew that he was a little anxious, but he knew better that Yuan Shao would not drive away the Bingzhou wolf cavalry who had come over. After all, these warriors from the border counties who had come over with their own horses could definitely complete it with a little training. Exploding most of the troops in Yuan Shao's hands, and these people are here to repay their kindness, so their loyalty is absolutely guaranteed.
"Ha, Wenru, you are still very good." Chen Xi said softly.
"Horses consume too much food. Unless we have a mascot like you, we can't support more than 20,000 cavalry. What's more, once the battle begins, the food consumption will increase exponentially." Li You also said in a low voice, It seems that the two of them just deserted under Liu Bei's nose.
"You mean we take the initiative to attack, let them fight us out, and then force us back to our border and then have a stalemate, right?" Chen Xi frowned and said, "I don't think it is necessary. I admit that if it really is a head-to-head confrontation, we will face each other. It is unlikely that Yuan Shao will win, and Yuan Shao’s advantages in strength and units are difficult to eliminate, but if we use the secret weapon, we can directly steal at least half of Jizhou."
"If we activate it at the beginning, we won't be able to severely damage the opponent. And don't you think that as our power changes, there will be a lot of sand inside?" Li You said with squinted eyes.
"If we take the initiative to attack and are beaten out, the whole world will probably be shocked. If Yuan Benchu shows his momentum, if nothing else, let me ask you, is Yuan Benchu the hero?" Chen Xi also has his own considerations, although Li You's method Good, but too dangerous.
"When he was in Luoyang, he was the only hero who dared to point his sword at Dong Zhongying, and based on his performance in the north now, let's put it this way, without Xuande Gong and Cao Mengde, I think he has the greatest possibility of defeating Huanyu." Li You He said solemnly.
"Actually, if Cao Mengde hadn't massacred Xuzhou, I would have been most optimistic about Cao Mengde, followed by Yuan Benchu. But if we want to compare who can win the world, if it weren't for Xuande Gong, I would be optimistic about Yuan Benchu." Chen Xi nodded.
Chen Xi now very much doubted whether Yuan Shao had taken something like Tiangang Zhengqi Water. His whole body was abnormally heroic. He was powerful and courageous. He was trustworthy in employing people. All his subordinates, civil servants and military officers were impressed by him. This was simply the pinnacle. An enhanced version of Cao Cao during the period! And the most important thing is that Yuan Benchu's good cards are not intimidating Liu Bei compared to his overall strength!
"Zichuan, I admit that you are indeed a genius. It's a pity that Mr. Xuande's foundation is too weak. You made Mr. Xuande go from nothing to this level, which is beyond everyone's expectations. It's a pity that you started from nothing. , and Jizhou itself, which Yuan Benchu took over, has a strong foundation." Li You said with a wry smile.
"I know that Ju Gong and General Jizhou are indeed well built." Chen Xi nodded and said, "I will think about your tactics later." (To be continued.)
