Chapter 235: The Sword Refers to the Division

After Hu Yanbo left, Youzhou and the two places also entered the busy autumn harvest season, due to this year's drought, this month is particularly important, fortunately, the timely heavy rain, although this year's harvest in Youzhou does not have to be in previous years, the decline is still within the acceptable range of Liu Yi.

The efficiency of Youzhou is reflected in the improvement of the grassroots organizations in various counties and counties, and the cooperation between the upper and lower departments. This is exactly what he imagined the administrative structure to be; After Zhang Hu and Erzhang, the three political talents have spared no effort to make up for the structure of the foundation, and with the great drought and a large influx of population, it has also made up for the loss of labor due to the war while bringing a heavy burden to the state capital.

Due to the addition of Zhang Liao's army, and the garrison of Bingzhou has reached more than 50,000 people, the direction they need to guard against is Li Dao Guo Yan's subordinates, at this point the troops are sufficient, Youzhou with the progress of the conscription work, now there are nearly 100,000 troops, there is surplus food in hand, Liu Yi's vision began to move again, after consulting Gan Ning and Jian Yong in detail, Liu Yi replaced Gan Ning with Tian Yu, and only 10,000 soldiers were left in Liaodong, and the last time Xingba swept away Goguryeo and completely destroyed their military strength, It should be okay for Tian Yu to sit in charge.

In November of the second year of Xingping, the Pingdong general Gan Ning Gan Xingba led 30,000 Yanyun battalion soldiers back to Beiping, because this time it was the work of opening up the territory and splitting the soil, the Son of Heaven personally came out to greet him, boasting of his military exploits, and after a dry ceremony, Gan Ning went straight to Beiping Youzhou Assassin Mansion with Liu Yi.

"Zhicai, after Xingba returns to the army this time, how many troops can our army use in the direction of Chang'an?" Liu Yijun's main generals and several military divisions are already in the hall, although the use of troops may not be until the beginning of spring, but it will take time for people to be mobilized and to arrange grain and grass.

"Lord, if it is according to Wenhe's strategy to attack the division, then the two generals' Yanyun battalion, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, the three generals of the headquarters, plus General Huaxiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I can dispatch 80,000 troops, if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have any movement after the beginning of spring, it can also be increased, Chang'an Li Dao Guo Yan is not a general with troops, our army is not out, and it will be thunderous as soon as it comes out!" Xi Zhicai said that in the past few days, the three of them have also been planning to seize Si Li.

"What Zhicai said is extremely true, out of the thunder, although Li Guo and the two are not afraid, but there is the danger of Hangu, the strength of Chang'an, the more troops, the better! Fengxiao, what is the current situation? "The capture of Chang'an was one of Jia Xu's three-step plans at that time, and Guo Jia, as the person in charge of Tian'er, has never relaxed the collection of intelligence in the Sili area.

According to the last biography of Chang'an, Yang Feng led 10,000 troops in Luoyang, Zhang Ji 20,000 horses in Hujiao Pass, Hangu Pass was guarded by Zhang Xiu's 8,000 soldiers, and Li Guo and the others still had 30,000 horses in Chang'an, of which 20,000 were Xiliang cavalry; I thought that 70,000 troops could be recruited in Youzhou this year, but due to natural disasters, only half of them have been recruited, and we will discuss that at least 100,000 troops are needed for Sili's military situation! "Guo Jia is good at scheming, but he doesn't know how to be calm, the final decisive factor in the war is strength.

"Li Guo and the others have 70,000 horses under their command, plus a few dangers, which should not be underestimated, 100,000 troops...... What are the movements of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao now? Liu Yi asked after a moment of silence.

"At the beginning of the year, the two of them fought with Yuan Shu in Qingzhou, and they were all damaged, but they also had the people of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and this year's drought also had a great impact on them. But the affairs of the soldier cannot be speculated, and everything needs to be considered. Guo Jia said.

"The lord, that day is the main plan, that is, after the annexation of the state, directly under the division, occupy the tiger prison to cut off Cao Mengde's road to enter the division, but his people are far-sighted, and there are intelligent people on the left and right, they may not be aware of our strategy, although the force is insufficient due to natural disasters this time, but the attack on the division is still on the line, and it will change later." Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe's words won my heart, now Zilong still has 40,000 troops in his hands, even if Yuan Shao suddenly becomes difficult, he is not afraid, I am worried about Cao Cao, if our army attacks Si Li, then with its vision will not sit idly by, a careless is a situation of several enemies!" Liu Yi said, just like Jia Xu's plan, it is the best policy, but Cao Mengde will sit idly by? Even if he and Li Guo are enemies, there are only interests in the troubled times, even if it is the revenge of killing his father, he can put it aside, and the transformation of allies and enemies will also change with the situation.

"Therefore, if our army is a military commander, the first priority is to capture the tiger prison, as long as this is in hand, it doesn't matter if Chang'an doesn't go down for a while!" Jia Xu said.

"Tiger Prison! When the princes of the Eighteenth Road discussed Dong, I had fought with Lu Fengxian under the pass, this pass was built according to the mountain, the city was high and the ditch was deep, and it was indeed the Xiongguan in the world; The day of the seizure was because Dong Zhuo used Li Confucian's strategy of bequeath, without a fight, today there are 20,000 defenders, Zhang Ji is also quite strategic, if it is a strong ......attack, "Liu Yi said that there is some hesitation here, the way of the soldier, the siege of the city is the bottom.

"Jia Zhi is worried about the lord, the art of war is on the cloud of military warfare, the last siege of the city, can be the current situation, the capture of the tiger prison is the best strategy, although the tiger prison is a strong pass, the lord has the righteousness of the son of heaven, and the command is a hundred battles of elite soldiers, and the strong attack is very certain; If the tiger prison is lowered, Luoyang Yang Fengniu Fu and others will either surrender or retreat, and they will not dare to attack the flank of our army, although there is a loss, it will be beneficial to the overall situation. When Guo Jia saw Liu Yi's expression, he knew his mind, the art of war is the art of war, and the magic that can be used is also in one mind.

"Even if you employ people, you must go to the tiger prison first, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed in attacking Si Li." Jia Xu said coldly, such a Xiongguan attack will have heavy losses, but if it is for the overall situation, it will be worth it.

"General Gao, if the general is the leader in the siege of the city in our army, I also knew these people under the tent of Wen Hou back then, if in the general's opinion, what will it be like to capture the tiger prison?" Several military advisors consider the overall strategic situation, Liu Yi also knows what it means, now what he has to do is the actual operation, the capture of the tiger prison is not an empty word, it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, extremely tragic, if the loss can be minimized is the best policy, Gao Shun's ability to attack the city is famous all over the world, so he asked.

Gao Shun was silent when he heard this, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he thought that it was also very difficult for him to encounter this Xiongguan in the world, and according to what was discussed just now, the matter of tackling key problems is the focus of the overall situation. When everyone looked at his expression, they also knew his intentions, and they didn't bother with anything, and the hall was silent for a while.

After a while, Gao Shun showed a determined look on his face, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Shun doesn't dare to boast of his ability in front of the main prince's military division, but the main prince in front of him is inquiring, and it is an important military matter, so he can't help but go all out; If the lord gives the old four battalions and the personal guard battalion all to Shun, plus 30,000 elite foot soldiers, and these 60,000 horses are led by Shun, regardless of losses, within ten days, he will be put in a tiger prison! It's just that the enemy on the flank needs to be protected by another man. Gao Shun said in the end, his tone was extremely firm, since it was an important matter for the lord, he made up his mind to swear to the death for him after considering it all.

"Great! Jing Fang is worthy of the talent of a good general, if so, according to the general's words, a soldier Liu will be dispatched, and the second battalion of the Dragon and Tiger Guards of Gongming Jun is also the elite of our army, and then it will be temporarily transferred to the general, and everything will be arranged by Jing Fang. Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said angrily.

"Don't worry, the lord will take the tiger prison for the lord to death! May the military writ be made before the case of the lord. Gao Shun got up and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yi, and said loudly, with gratitude in his words, he is a general, Xu Huang and Zhang He are Liu Yi's generals, and now the lord can say this, which shows the trust in himself, the soldier dies for his confidant, as a general, who doesn't want to build a worldly reputation?

"Jing Fang has always been calm, there must be certainty in this statement, it seems that the mobilization of troops still needs to be arranged, the lord wants General Gao to assume this responsibility, and the people and horses must be mobilized earlier, and there is still some time to the beginning of spring, and it is also beneficial for General Gao to dominate it." Xi Zhicai immediately spoke.

"Jing Fang sits, what Zhicai said is also my heart, the transfer will be carried out immediately, inform Zicai to find a secret enemy in Bingzhou to let General Gao garrison, I should personally write to the third brother, Xu, Zhang The two generals told this matter in detail, Jing Fang, this is Liu's sword, and now Jing Fang is in charge of military law! After going to the state, you must have a good life to practice, if someone is not convinced, you will use this sword to cut it! Liu Yi ordered someone to send his sword to Gao Shun, this move is by no means rash, the way to attack the city, you can reduce casualties with more practice and cooperation, there are good generals today, you should use it, but he also has to take into account Gao Shun's new arrival, this time the soldiers led by him have been fighting with him for a long time, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress them.

When Gao Shun took the sword, his hands trembled slightly, there were tears in the tiger's eyes, and he no longer spoke, the lord was so kind, if he couldn't attack the tiger prison, he would never survive!

"Once our army attacks the Tiger Prison, Li Guo and the others will definitely send troops, but let Liu personally lead the army to the enemy to ensure the smooth progress of the attack on the Tiger Prison." Liu Yi said.

"The lord, Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui and others are not on good terms with Li Guo, if they can go to say it, and promise it to fame and fortune, it can become a two-sided attack, and then the two of them are difficult to take care of, the lord can attack the tiger prison with all his might, and he is willing to go to Xiliang and his party, and the lord will move the two to send troops; It's just best to get the Son of Heaven and seal Ma Shoucheng! Guo Jia said, this is also the three of them have been discussing for a long time, if Ma Teng can be allowed to send troops, then he will add arms, according to the idea at the time, even if Chang'an will be with him, although Ma Teng is brave, but he is not a person who fights for the world.

"Just rely on Fengxiao, but you must be accompanied by Mr. Hua Tuo, Liu Liu, Liu Qi must also follow you, Ma Teng's troops are solid, and the most important thing is that Fengxiao cares about the body!" Liu Yi thought about it for a long time, and said that he was most worried about Guo Jia's weakness when he went to the mountains and rivers.

"Thank you for your kindness, Jia has been practicing martial arts every day since he followed the lord, and now he is strong and strong, and the lord can rest assured." Although Guo Jia was joking, he was also moved.

"Today's discussion will be arranged immediately, everyone still needs to remember to keep secrets, if there is a leak Liu will not be merciful, Xingba and the three military divisions will stay, disperse!" Liu Yi said.

"No." And the people went away as they were commanded.
