A burly general knelt in front of Lin Ze and said, "My lord is so famous that I can see him today. It will be a great comfort to my life!"
Lin Ze looked at Guo Jia, who hurriedly said: "My lord, this is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, a Confucian general!"
This is Zhang Liao, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. If he had not appeared, after Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu, he would have followed Cao Cao in the south and north, fought through life and death, defeated Yuan Tan, destroyed Yuan Shang, and pacified Liaodong. He was regarded as the first of Cao Cao's five good generals. .
He is the best friend of Mr. Guan Er, a man of great righteousness and unparalleled hero. Most importantly, he is Sun Quan's nemesis, forcing Sun Quan to leave a "good name" of Sun Shiwan in history.
Lin Ze helped Zhang Liao up and said, "It is a great honor to have General Wenyuan help me. Liu Hao, come here!"
Liu Hao from the Sharp Sword Regiment strode forward and said, "Here we are!"
Lin Zedao: "The Sharp Sword Regiment followed me in the south and north. It cleared away the shadow of Tai Shici's betrayal and became famous all over the world. The Sword Regiment will be raised up. Liu Hao, how do you think your troop leadership skills are better than General Wenyuan?"
Liu Hao's eyes started to light up when he looked at Zhang Liao, and he said: "General Wen Yuan, the most famous general, also knows that my ability to lead troops is not as good as General Wen Yuan's case!"
Lin Zedao: "I appoint Zhang Liao as the general of the Sharp Sword Group Army, with an establishment of 200,000 troops!"
Zhang Liao knelt down here and said: "The last general will definitely live up to his command!"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "But our army has an unwritten rule. I will pay the soldiers, but you have to recruit the soldiers yourself."
"no problem!"
Guo Jia recorded on the side that each major group army has a strength of 200,000. If all the troops are fully staffed, it will be an army of nearly 2 million. One hundred thousand soldiers need 600,000 to 700,000 people to support them. Now tens of millions of people need to support them. This army of nearly two million people is already saturated.
Guo Jia thought silently, his lord built water conservancy, carried out animal husbandry, salt and iron administration, and Zhang Hong controlled the finances and raised so many soldiers, he could make the people rich and the army strong, but when the trumpet sounded, thousands of taels of gold would be lost. If you fight like this, you will be exhausted sooner or later. Emperor Wu conquered the Xiongnu and wiped out all the wealth saved by the emperors of the two dynasties.
The current living conditions of the people in Yangzhou City are not good, and they mainly rely on the granary of Yueyang Village.
Fighting Jiangdong is a protracted war. If the lord chooses to continue to invest, he must give some advice.
After arranging a position for Zhang Liao, Lin Ze began to look at the map of Yangzhou and whispered: "Now, there is only Ganning's Jinfan Army north of the Yangtze River?"
Guo Jiadao: "Yes, Zhou Yu is like a god in his military use. He relies on Gan Ning's Jinfan Army to sharpen our national strength."
"Damn it, Dong Zhuo's rebellion and the war in the Yellow River Basin did not affect Jiangdong. There is a lot of money and food in Jiangdong. If we continue to fight like this, we will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." Lin Ze stretched out his hand to tap on the map and said: " We cannot continue to fight a war of attrition, we must annihilate Gan Ning in one fell swoop, drive the people from Jiangdong back to the other side of the Yangtze River, and start a water war with Zhou Yu!"
Guo Jiadao: "It's not difficult to defeat Gan Ning. Lord, do you want to wait until Ji is dead?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "I can't wait that long. Although Zhou Yu and I can afford it, I won't fight with him. Attack Jiangdong. The first step is to capture Lujiang County and Jichun County. I will lead Han to become a general." , General Wenyuan, and General Wenchang fight in the front, Xu Mao, you take over the city from the rear. In recent years, the Jiaolong Group Army has been preparing for a water war with Zhou Yu."
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao all stood up and said: "Wei!"
Huang Zhong's 200,000 troops, Wei Yan's 30,000 troops, and Zhang Liao's 2,000 troops were quickly assembled and ready to go.
Needing to wait for a fighting opportunity, Lin Ze did not rush to set off, but walked around Yangzhou City. Because of the continuous fighting, the people of Yangzhou City did not live well. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, before the world was in chaos, there were many prominent families in this place. Sexy and talented, the main thing is that the girls in this place are really good-looking.
Isn’t this where Yangzhou Shouma comes from?
Lin Ze was walking on the street and said: "Building a grand canal between the north and the south is really a contribution to the present and will benefit the future. How can the north and the south be connected by Xuzhou alone?"
"Yes, it would be great to build a river to connect the north and the south."
The person speaking was Ma Yunlu. She was like an innocent child. She didn’t take anything seriously and only thought it was fun. How could she understand the historical significance of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?
There was an aunt who ran a roadside stall. She sold ordinary sesame cakes, which were baked together on an iron plate before they were ready to eat.
Lin Ze walked over and said, "Madam, how do you sell this cake?"
The aunt looked up and saw that Lin Ze was dressed in an extraordinary way and there was a beautiful girl beside him. She hurriedly said: "Sir, if you think this cake is delicious, just give me five copper coins."
Lin Ze picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said, "It's quite delicious. It's the same as our military rations!"
The aunt smiled and said: "If you like it, come and eat it often."
Lin Ze nodded, placed a gold cake on the aunt's stall, and said, "Everyone eats the big cake, I'll treat you!"
Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals beside him stepped forward to take care of the aunt's business.
Ma Yunlu followed Lin Ze and asked curiously: "Ms. sir, we have all eaten, what will the people who come and go eat?"
Lin Ze was stunned after hearing this. This girl's brain circuit is really unique. She just wants to take care of everyone's life, but what she wants in her mind is to save all sentient beings.
Lin Ze's love for Ma Yunlu couldn't help but grow a little more, and said: "It's cold, let me earn some money and go home early. You see there are no pedestrians around. When will they be sold out? Look at this Yangzhou City The common people are in ragged clothes in the winter and their lives are too hard. This place can no longer be used as a military base, and the battle lines must be moved forward!"
Ma Yunlu said cheerfully: "Ms. sir, wherever you point, I will hit you!"
Lin Ze said: "General Hansheng, tomorrow you will lead an army of 100,000 to lure the enemy on the front line. I will wait for an opportunity to attack on the flanks. Let's fight first. I will see how good Gan Ning and Zhou Yu are."
Lin Ze ordered the army to set off tomorrow, but Zhou Yu had already planned to do so. Zhou Yu was in Lujiang at the moment. He originally wanted to go back to Jianye to see Sun Ce, but he heard that Lin Ze had arrived in Yangzhou and Zhou Yu couldn't leave.
Zhou Yu is an exquisite man. The dishes and bowls he eats with are as warm as jade, and the table top is made of rosewood with a texture like flowing water. This set of tables, chairs and tableware, paired with Zhou Yu's beautiful face, looks extremely luxurious, gentle, restrained, and elegant. , not ostentatious at all.
Zhou Yu finished his meal slowly, took the face towel handed over by the maid, wiped his hands, rinsed his mouth with salt water, and then invited all the generals in to discuss matters.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Zhou Yu studied Lin Ze thoroughly. He made a very accurate evaluation of Lin Ze's tactics: you never know what kind of tactics Lin Ze will use!
At first, Zhou Yu wanted to attack the city, but he found that the cities that could be conquered were not wanted by Lin Ze, and Guo Jia opened up the Qu'a battlefield to fight a protracted war, so he changed his strategic goals. , which is a loss of Lin Ze's national power and armor.
With the blessing of Yu Ji's magic, Lin Ze's consumption was double that of his own.
The grain output of the Central Plains cannot be compared to Jiangdong.
All the generals came in. Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang and others were all his die-hard generals. Zhou Yu said: "Everyone has worked hard these days. Only with your raiding formation in the rear can Gan Ning be undefeated on the front line." .”
The generals all said: "How can Guo Jia be compared with the governor!"
Zhou Yu raised his hand and said: "Guo Fengxiao is a genius of the world. Lin Ze put him here before he dared to capture Guanzhong. If it had been anyone else, with Yu Ji's help, we would have pushed him to Huainan and Huaibei."
The generals stopped making trouble, and Pan Zhang said: "Lin Ze took Jingzhou again. With his map and millions of troops, he dominated the Central Plains and looked like an emperor. Why didn't he attack the border with a large army?"
Zhou Yu said: "Lin Ze acted with shady intentions and was a tycoon in troubled times. Not only us, but all the heroes in the world underestimated him. That's why Cao Cao joined forces with Yuan Shao, one to capture Beihai and the other to capture Xuzhou. It was because of him that he did not attack the border with a large army." We must also be wary of the enemy in the north. If we fight against him, we will lead Cao Cao to do tricks on the land of Guanzhong in Linze."
Pan Zhang said: "Then how do we fight?"
Zhou Yu said confidently: "He will definitely lead an attack tomorrow. Huang Zhong is a feint, so he will definitely find a good place to ambush. The old god Yu Ji has a spell that brings fire and rain from the sky, which can be used just in time. Let Lin Ze see me Jiangdong." So awesome..."
