Looking at the fierce gaze, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "There are a batch of students graduating from the General's Academy, why don't you arrange them to Qingzhou, transfer Tai Shici and other veterans to Yizhou, and make a decisive battle with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will definitely take it lightly, in this way, great things can be done." ”

Guo Jia's method has the intention of fighting, in case these newcomers make mistakes in the command on the battlefield, they are afraid that the army will fall into a desperate situation.

Li Huiyi thought for a while and said: "The method is good, but there is a lack of a person who presides over the overall situation, I don't know if Feng Xiao can be a candidate?" ”

Guo Jia glanced at Xu Shu with both eyes, nodded slightly and said: "This is easy to do, there is not one person under the command of the lord, but I don't know if he is willing to take over this big responsibility." ”

Since Xu Shu took refuge, although he has made some achievements, he has been stable and steady, and there is no dazzling place, let alone leading an army to attack.

Therefore, his reputation is not very big, and the princes do not regard him as heavy, and it will not be so noticeable to provoke a big task at this time, and he will only think that Li Huiyi is going to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao and let him guard against Yuan Shao.

Xu Shu stood up and knelt down and said: "Lord, I am willing to take on this responsibility, if I can't take Xuzhou, I am willing to engage in military law." ”

This matter is also an opportunity for Xu Shu, whether he can stand out under Li Huiyi depends on this opportunity, he naturally does not want to give up, wait a few more years.

Although he is leading a group of newcomers with no combat experience, Xu Shu is confident in himself, as long as he makes proper arrangements, he can still achieve great things, after all, Yuan Shao will not take him too seriously, this is an advantage.

Li Huiyi glanced at Guo Jia, who seemed to be smiling, and said: "Okay, now Feng Yuanzhi is the Qingzhou Mu, in charge of the battle of Xuzhou, you can cut it first and then play, and there is no need to report it." ”

Li Huiyi is also generous, in order to give Xu Shu autonomy, he handed over all the big and small affairs of Qingzhou to him, which shows his trust in Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was moved to bow down and said: "Thank you for your trust, you have nothing to repay, you can only take Xuzhou, and thank you for your kindness." ”

"Haha." Li Huiyi waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, tomorrow I will go to the General's Academy and personally try to test this batch of graduates." ”

Although Li Huiyi agreed with Guo Jia's intentions, he was still a little uneasy, and decided to take this opportunity to let these talents help check together, so as not to appear boastful.

"Yes."

"Yes."

……

Because Jia Xu was the president of the General's Academy, Li Huiyi naturally wanted to ask him and ask him to arrange tomorrow's affairs.

"Wenhe, what do you think about this battle?"

Jia Xu has been in the north for some years, and he has long had no other ideas in his heart, and he has a trace of meritorious service, but he does not take the initiative to admonish, but chooses the best opportunity to let others see that he has ideas.

Hearing Li Huiyi's inquiry, Jia Xu respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Back to the lord, I think that there is still a possibility of being discovered, why not choose to fight on two fronts and let them take care of themselves." ”

"Huh?" Fighting on two fronts, the consumption is extremely high, with Jia Xu's talent, it is impossible to think of this, Li Huiyi looked puzzled.

Seeing Li Huiyi like this, Jia Xu continued unhurriedly: "Don't you have a trump card in your lord's hand, why don't you send them to Qingzhou, you will be able to make achievements." ”

Trump card? Li Huiyi fell into deep thought, what Jia Xu said should be the newly formed Shenji Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, equipped with newly researched firearms.

The so-called firearms are Li Huiyi's successful improvement of Zuo Ci, tying porcelain gunpowder to bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, and the lethality has been verified.

But as long as the attack is made, the enemy will be prepared next time, and it will lose the effect of surprise, if the first battle is not won, the princes will definitely study it, and then the war will enter a more brutal situation, and there will be more dead and wounded.

Li Huiyi's original intention was to wait for the research of new firearms before putting these secret weapons into use, and even if the princes imitated them, he would have the upper hand and be able to end the war quickly.

However, it is very difficult to study more powerful large-scale firearms, with the current industry, although Li Huiyi has asked craftsmen to develop them, but the effect is very small, I am afraid that there will not be more than ten years, and it is difficult to see hope.

Jia Xu's proposal is very bold, but if it succeeds, it will also throw off the rest of the princes in one fell swoop and become a dominant situation.

Li Huiyi thought for a long time and said: "Wenhe, although this method can take advantage of the moment, I am afraid that the follow-up force will be insufficient, and there may be a danger of counterattack at that time." ”

Fighting on two fronts, once the opponent is dragged back, then it will be defeated, and no matter how much it has been achieved in the early stage, it will be spit out.

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "Don't worry, the lord has a countermeasure to this plan, and Xuzhou will be able to win it quickly, but I'm afraid that the lord won't dare to adopt it." ”

"Huh?" Li Huiyi's eyes rolled slightly, and he said: "Wen He said that if he didn't take it, he would never blame him. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "My lord, Xuzhou has changed hands several times, and the people have developed a habit of who will govern, and if they use coercion and intimidation, they will definitely let them cooperate with the army." ”

What Jia Xu said was very vague, but everyone here knows what it means, the so-called coercion and intimidation, what else can there be besides slaughtering the city.

If you use the Divine Machine Battalion to take a city by surprise, it must be appropriate, and then set a time to let the people in the city surrender, otherwise the city will be destroyed and slaughtered.

Presumably, the people in the city should not believe it, because according to Jia Xu's intentions, there are not many soldiers and horses sent to Qingzhou, which will create the illusion that the city cannot be captured.

At that time, he borrowed the benefits of the Shenji Camp to suddenly take it, and then used the blood of the slaughter to tell hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou that they will do what they say, which will definitely make them panic, and as soon as the army arrives, they will look at the wind and surrender.

Jia Xu really deserves to be called a poisoner, and if he comes out with a plan, it will be a river of blood, and he will take the people of a city in exchange for winning the battle.

Jia Xu saw that Li Huiyi's face had become ugly, and he had already guessed in his heart that the probability of this method being adopted was not high, so he glanced at everyone sitting and sat down slowly.

Everyone here, Chen Gong and Xu Shu are soft-hearted, they will not agree at all, but they will not express their opinions, after all, if they can really succeed, they can also reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

The two armies would have suffered more than 50,000 casualties in a normal battle, which was less than the people of a city, but the consumption was more.

However, Jia Xu's strategy is indeed second, as long as it comes out, the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou will be frightened, Tian Feng arched his hand and said: "Lord, Feng thinks you can give it a try." ”

What Li Huiyi is thinking about now is what no one guessed, he thought of the fact that Cao Cao had just begun to slaughter the city of Xuzhou all the way in history.
