The two people who talked happily chatted with each other, although there was not much intersection back then, when it came to the affairs of Liaodong, the conversation box of the two was completely opened, of course, the most talked about was the establishment of the Governor's Mansion and even the military division generals set up in the Governor's Mansion.

In the past, the military and government in Liaodong were like the Han Dynasty, the military and the government were integrated, and the county guards had absolute rights, but now this setting, after the separation of the military and the government, has ensured the crisis of excessive local power since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and ensured that Liaodong is truly controlled by Liu Lan.

In the past, Xuzhou was extremely uneasy about Liaodong, so Sun Qian was transferred away from Yan Rou, but now with such a setup, no one will point fingers at Liaodong anymore, but these are just some off-topic topics, and they soon turned to this expedition.

In fact, this expedition is not sneaky, but an open expedition, just notify Youzhou in advance that we are coming to attack you, of course, this is by no means how much ability Tian Yu has to succeed in one stop, nor does he look down on Youzhou, originally he went on this expedition, not to annex Youbeiping and Liaoxi, at best, it was an attack, as for whether to loot the township, that is a later story.

But the town must still be beaten, after all, in a place like Youzhou, except for some large county seats, the walls of the rest of the small and medium-sized counties are not enough to see at all, and they can't stop them at all, so when the time comes, as long as the big towns are avoided, but if the main force of Youzhou can be lured out when attacking the small and medium-sized counties, then he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to annihilate.

"Is this what the lord meant?" Ji Kang asked, although Liu Lan was once a brother and an old leader, but time has changed, and the previous title can no longer be used, and even many times the word 'lord' must be used on the bright side, and some etiquette numbers cannot be abolished, if he didn't think of these before, but with the increasing official position, these things must be avoided as much as possible.

And the reason why he asked if it was Liu Lan's order was that the key was to know who was in command behind the scenes in this battle, after all, this kind of attack and harassment war is more like the way the lord is used to, using the way of attack to raid the other party, and hit the other party by surprise, such a method often lies in a strange word, and in many cases, the effect is even greater than that of tens of thousands of people.

On the other hand, Xu Huang likes to throw some bait first, attract the enemy army, and then divide the enemy troops into two or three into four through mobilization, once the opportunity appears, it will be a sudden blow, even if it is a big defeat and escape, it will not easily let you go, and it is often the case that the long drive straight into pursuit of you for dozens of miles.

Therefore, when Tian Yu said some of his views on this battle, Ji Kang's first thought was that behind this matter was Liu Lan's military order, because this was completely Liu Lan's operational deployment, but the result he got in the end was that this idea was completely Tian Yu's own idea.

In fact, Tian Yu has three choices for this trip, although they are not easy to achieve, especially in the winter The success of the transfer is not realistic, after all, the Youzhou army does not have the ability to fight in winter, even if it hears that other counties and counties are attacked, it will not risk going out of the city, and will only send troops to see the situation in the spring of the next year, after the weather warms up, this is not that he thinks it will happen, but everyone including Ji Kang at this moment also agrees with the possibility.

But the raid is different, of course, all this is aimed at those big towns, such as the mound, and it is impossible to storm these Liaodong cavalry led by him, so the best way is to be able to enter the city before the enemy army reacts, so that all the troubles can be solved.

As for those small county seats, it depends on the mood, because a mound plays a greater role than laying down other small counties, after all, once this news reaches Yuan Shao's ears, he is bound to be shocked by this, and he will guess that Liaodong must have sent a large army to attack Youbeiping, because even the mound has been captured.

On the contrary, if it is some small and medium-sized county towns, these towns are not high in the city wall, and they do not have any defense capabilities, let alone Liaodong sending troops, even if Donghu comes, they can also resist them, so he will not feel any strange, but the mound is different, it will make him pay attention to the situation in Youbeiping, it is winter at that time, and it is extremely difficult for him to find out the news, in such a situation where he is almost deaf and blind, he is bound to be afraid, afraid of what the situation in Youbeiping is now.

If the main force of the Liaodong Army comes, then his backyard will be dangerous, even if he does not dare to counterattack immediately in winter to regain the lost territory, then he must first take defensive measures in Jixian and other places to prevent the Liaodong Army from continuing to attack or attacking in the spring. In this way, Yuan Shao will inevitably be unable to organize too large-scale offensive in Xuzhou, because Youzhou has become a piece of his disease, and he does not have the guts.

Tian Yu, who has been fighting with Yuan Shao for many years, has great confidence in how likely this possibility is, not to mention that even if he changes someone else, he will definitely have some concerns.

In fact, when Yuan Xi served as the assassin of Youzhou, he strongly suggested that Liaodong should be solved first, but various factors, the long journey and the scarcity of cavalry at that time, sent infantry to fight in the vast plain of Liaodong, the chance of victory was very small, although the Koji Yi had not yet died in battle at that time, and the first dead soldiers had not been exterminated, but the key to the first dead soldiers to deal with the cavalry was that the cavalry was in a head-on duel with them.

But when it came to Liaodong, the Liaodong cavalry could use the terrain to restrict the first to die, so after weighing it, Yuan Shao made an order to postpone the attack on Liaodong and defend in Liaoxi and Youbeiping, as long as the town was held, the Liaodong cavalry was not worth mentioning.

This is one of the many reasons why Yuan Shao went south to Qingzhou, maybe many people opposed it at that time, but whether it is in favor or against, first of all, they must understand their most realistic problem, that is, the enemy is Liu Lan, this goal is clear, whether it is to fight Liaodong or Qingzhou, the principle is the same.

But Yuan Shao still ignored the value of Liaodong and how much significance his existence had to Liu Lan, there was Liaodong, which was Liu Lan's natural horse farm and the production place of excellent soldiers, and because of the complex form and staggered forces, but because of the backwardness of the combat effectiveness and weapons of these Donghu, Liu Lan specially sent a lot of soldiers to Liaodong to sharpen it.

After the soldiers who have been tempered by Liaodong, many of the outstanding talents have been sent back to Xuzhou, but those who remain are equally good, and they are responsible for starting to train the new soldiers, and this place has simply become a military school, and excellent soldiers are constantly being trained from here.

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Liaodong after defeating Gongsun Zhan, it cannot be said that it was a mistake in his choice, but in Liu Lan's opinion, his decision was not wise, if he was Yuan Shao, then since he decided to seize the four northern counties first to ensure that the rear was safe and sound, then why did he leave the special existence of Liaodong alone, so rest assured that Liu Lan did not dare to leave the Liao team to enter Liaoxi and Youbeiping?

If it is Gongsun Du, then that's it, now Liaodong is clearly controlled by Liu Lan, if there is no Liaodong, it seems that Liu Lan will lose a county, but correspondingly it means that he has lost cavalry, no war horses, and through purchase and breeding, it is impossible to meet the needs of Liu Lan's cavalry troops for war horses.

Moreover, losing Liaodong, a treasure place for training soldiers and cavalry, and counting on the soldiers of Xuzhou and Danyang to become excellent cavalry, this is like making the Hu people who have never seen Donghu Lianhai become a master swimmer like the people of Jiangdong. This is the case with the South Ship and the North Horse.

Yuan Shao's choice was wrong, if it was Liu Lan, in such a situation, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely solve Liaodong first at all costs, not to mention that from later generations, he understood what kind of rich treasures Liaodong contained, maybe under the current production technology, Liaodong can only get development of one millionth of the resources, but with the continuous production of new tools from the ordnance factory, Liaodong will never let him down.

And the reason why Liaodong has always been the most backward area of the Han Dynasty, except for his cold, there are no other factors, just like the current Jiaozhou, which is also vast and sparsely populated, but try to ask whether it is simple to solve the problem of cold or simple to solve miasma mosquitoes, the answer is self-evident.

And now Liu Lan and are trying to solve, the stove for the fire, the coal for the fire, has become the indispensable equipment for the people of Liaodong to keep out the cold jelly, which also has the new style of clothes and pants to be promoted, and the cotton shoes and hats also ensure that the people can travel normally in winter, and then with the Liaodong Army this time, cotton clothes and cotton pants are no longer a secret, and he does not need to continue to hide, and with the promotion of cotton clothes and pants, the people of Liaodong can still travel far in winter.

The winter in Liaodong will never again become a natural enemy that restricts the development of Liaodong.

If the main force of the Liaodong Army comes, then his backyard will be dangerous, even if he does not dare to counterattack immediately in winter to regain the lost territory, then he must first take defensive measures in Jixian and other places to prevent the Liaodong Army from continuing to attack or attacking in the spring. In this way, Yuan Shao will inevitably be unable to organize too large-scale offensive in Xuzhou, because Youzhou has become a piece of his disease, and he does not have the guts.
