"The problem of veterans is the main problem to be solved this time, because if those soldiers are idle for a long time, they will sooner or later cause great damage to the people, and everything else is the deployment of materials." Jia Xu said calmly, the problem of veterans is the big problem.

"Military supplies have been deployed?" Chen Xi asked.

"Seven thousand strong crossbows, twelve thousand bows and arrows, and all the archers who have been selected for the past three years have been in place." Jia Xu nodded and said, "There is still a shortage of 30,000 horses, I have given up on this aspect, more than 94,000 military weapons and equipment, and more than 94,000 guns have been deployed in place, of which about 35,000 will be kept for backup." ”

"There are 8,000 Changge, of which 2,000 are reserved for reserve, 8,000 thick-backed knives for assault, 3,000 are estimated to be retained, 45,000 thin-bladed machetes, 11,000 are expected to be retained, 5,700 large shields are expected to be retained, 700 are expected to be retained, and 39,000 small round shields are expected to be reserved." Saying that, Jia Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

"The lack of 30,000 horses means that we don't have many cavalry, right?" Chen Xi tugged at his lips and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal. ”

"It's not a big deal." Liu Bei echoed weakly, he didn't have any hope for the cavalry from the beginning, after all, they don't produce horses here.

However, Xu Shu listened with relish and effectively estimated the current military strength of Mount Tai.

"Master Jia, may I ask how many qualified archers and crossbowmen there are in Taishan now?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be like this, just call me Wenhe." Jia Xu recounted with a blank face, "As for qualified archers and crossbowmen. Due to the difficulty and consumption of such troops. The drawbacks were so obvious that even with Tarzan's wealth, he only retained less than 15,000 qualified archers. ”

Xu Shu smacked his tongue secretly. Archers have very high requirements for arm strength and eyesight, and it is far more troublesome to train a qualified archer than an excellent sword and shield hand, and although the archers are said to be used well after being established, the effect is amazing, but it is undeniable that the disadvantages of pure archers are too obvious.

"In terms of supplies, the first transportation transit has been carried out on the official road, and the first batch of supplies for three months has already begun to be delivered, which is expected before our army arrives in Yanzhou to launch an attack. The first batch of grain and grass can basically be successfully delivered. Jia Xu continued.

"It's not good, it's not bad." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Is Zijing under a lot of pressure ahead?" Is it necessary to transfer Zilong to Linyi first, and did Xu You take the opportunity to attack? ”

"On the Yanzhou side, both our army and Yuan Shao's army are relatively restrained, and the previous large-scale, corps-level war has stopped, and it is only conducting tentative scout exchanges." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The advantage of our army is not too obvious, but Yuan Shao's army has been completely suppressed in Linyi. ”

"Zijing can still command the army after all. Although Xu You said that his wisdom was good, it was difficult to say that it was difficult to lead the army, even if he had the Lu brothers by his side, it was impossible for Zijing to be his opponent. Chen Xi said with a smile. He still has confidence in Lu Su's command, he is not like a pure strategist like himself and Guo Jia, from a certain point of view. He can also be considered a commander.

"In the same way, the situation on Bonghyo's side has not been very good lately. Tian Feng and Guo Jia have already fought several times after both sides lost their main generals at the same time, according to Feng Xiao. Without Yan Liang, Yuan Shaojun did not decline in commanding troops, but was better in some confrontations. Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei and asked.

"Gongxi is not Tian Feng's opponent?" Chen Xi frowned.

Then Chen Xi remembered the situation of Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, nodded silently and said, "That's right, among the Wenchen under Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are both excellent Wenchen who are overwhelmed by power, and the best way for this kind of person to give full play to his own advantages is to handle it himself." ”

"I'm afraid that Yuan Shao also knows that the two of them are more suitable as commanders, but there is always a certain amount of jealousy, or Tian Feng and Fu Zhu don't want Yuan Shao to worry about the ability of the two of them, so they deliberately hide it." Jia Xu nodded and said, after all, this kind of thing has happened before, and then it retreated into the background, I am afraid it does have some meaning of taoguang and obscurity.

"Then does Jiyin need to send reinforcements?" Liu Bei thought for a while and said.

"This is not needed, although Fengxiao is not able to command the army, but the strategy is first-class, Tian Feng can only be said to be suppressed, and there is no point in sending people to the current situation, to suppress Tian Feng's military momentum, our army is only a few people, it is better to let Fengxiao drag." Chen Xi shook his head and didn't care about Guo Jia at all.

"What about Wen and you?" Liu Bei turned his head to look at Jia Xu and asked.

"The same is true for me, if you send General Guan to go, it is indeed a perfect match, but now it is not very suitable, why not wait for our army to say anything else after the Northern Expedition, now that Jizhou and the state have come to report, Yuan Shao has begun to mobilize the troops under his rule on a large scale, and the implication is probably self-evident." Jia Xu didn't think much about it, but calmly echoed Chen Xi's suggestion.

"It looks like the hero sees the same thing." Liu Bei laughed.

"Yuan Benchu." Chen Xi sighed and said, silently remembering the Yuan Shao he saw when he was in the Tiger Prison, he was really a model in the world, and he was extremely heroic from the Tiger Prison to the present.

"I'm curious to see what his expression will be like when he sees me." Chen Xi suddenly laughed.

"Don't talk about him, in seven more days, our army's Northern Expedition is already doomed, when the time comes, you can go with me to the front of the battle to ask, I also want to see if the current alliance leader is different from the original alliance leader, I have never followed anyone after the tiger prison, and I have never joined anyone's alliance, now I think about it is really a miracle." Liu Bei raised his glass and smiled and toasted Chen Xiyao.

"Our path cannot allow anyone to deviate in the slightest, every step is difficult, and it has been extremely difficult many times in retrospect, but now it is finally time to harvest." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

"I didn't go through that period of time, but I've seen a lot of things about it in the handwriting that Tarzan sent to me, but I'm glad I wasn't late." Xu Shu slowly got up, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

When Xu Shu stepped into Mount Tai, he stopped under the city gate, did not dare to step in addition to timidity, but also a trace of worry, worried that he was not enough Liu Bei's requirements, when Liu Bei left Yingchuan, there were only two people to follow, one is Chen Zichuan, who is now famous all over the world, and the other is Xu Yuanzhi.
