Chapter 66: Late Planning

When the artillery roared all night, and the sun rose early the next morning, Xiao Liu came to report that the defenders of Xicheng had all fled, and the roads and bridges were destroyed along the way, making it very difficult to pursue.

Yuan Yun did not order the pursuit, but asked Zhao Yun to start clearing the surrounding areas of Yong'an County, and ordered Pang Tong to lead his troops out of the city to stabilize the stability of the vicinity, Xu You began to set up stalls in the city, ready to give food to the people, and Xu Yi was also sent back to Xiangyang again to receive a batch of new baggage supplies sent by Xiahou Nan.

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were sitting with Yuan Yun in a courtyard in the city at the moment, and began to plan how to set up Yong'an County as an intermediate supply station for the crusade against Yizhou.

"Those homeless people in Xiangyang may be trusted?" When Guo Jia asked, his face was full of doubts, he didn't think that in such a short period of time, Yuan Yun could capture those local people in Jingzhou, after all, the Gunpowder Army was the invader who caused the war to these displaced people.

Yuan Yun saw that Guo Jia was so worried, and he was only happy in his heart, which at least proved that the goods in front of him had been completely integrated into the role and became a child of Luoyang in the true sense.

Zhuge Liang saw that Yuan Yun didn't seem to have the meaning of answering, so he told in detail about the previous incident of gathering the hearts of the people in Xiangyang, and Guo Jia only swept away his worries after hearing it, but he still added that he should be cautious to guard against the meticulous work among these displaced people.

For this problem, it is naturally handed over to Xu You, this intelligence leader, in the matter of tracking down, can be said to be experienced, plus he himself is scheming, so Liu Bei's meticulous work seen by the displaced people is not a big problem.

After Zhuge Liang finished explaining the affairs of the displaced people, he shook the feather fan lightly, and then pointed in the direction of Shangyong and said: "The flying pigeon pass that I just received, the gunpowder army soldiers sent by the prince, have passed the Shangyong guarded by Yang Aruo, and I am on the way here at this moment, and I should be able to arrive in a few days.

It's just that once we start to build the wharf, Liu Bei's spies will definitely know about it sooner or later, which can't be hidden, so Liu Bei will definitely take precautions, if he starts to destroy the river, it will be difficult for us to prevent it. ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "This is indeed a headache, but Dajiang is not destroyed by Liu Bei, he doesn't know when we will march, at this time, destroying Jiangdao is worth the loss, after all, destroying Jiangdao will immediately make the people along the coast unlucky, which is contrary to his reputation of benevolence and righteousness."

Take 10,000 steps back and think, when the new Huoyo army arrives, we will have enough manpower to send scouts to both sides of the river, even if Liu Bei wants to dig up the river, it is not possible to do it in a day or two, when he acts, we will go to clear it and see who is more suitable for field combat. ”

Guo Jia was slightly stunned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and wondered: "Are we going to stay in Yong'an for a long time?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't rush to answer when he heard this, but looked at the location of Yangzhou on the map, and only replied after estimating it in his heart: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to completely pacify the boundary of Yangzhou, and it will take half a year to say the least, so I plan to stay in Yong'an County for three months." ”

After speaking, seeing that Guo Jia was still full of doubts, Yuan Yuncai continued to explain: "I have always had to be well prepared to fight before I lead the army to fight, so the time naturally needs to be delayed for some time, Guo Jia's military division does not have to worry so much, Cao Ang Shizi blocked the exit from Hanzhong, Liu Bei can only stay in Yizhou honestly, and he can't run away when we pass." ”

Even though Guo Jia heard Yuan Yun say this, he still shook his head and said, "It's just that this will give Liu Bei more time to prepare, the longer he prepares, the harder we will fight later, this Yuan Xiaoxian didn't think of?" ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and said: "The reason why I have been preparing for so long is that I don't plan to use traditional combat methods, and I am not afraid of him Liu Bei Jianbi Qingye ......"

Guo Jia didn't wait for Yuan Yun to finish speaking, and immediately rushed to say: "Could it be that Yuan Xiaoxian really plans to build some fortifications all the way over, isn't this too wasteful?" Not to mention the consumption of manpower, is it too long in terms of time? ”

Yuan Yun continued to shrug his shoulders when he heard this: "The road must be built, even if we take Yizhou, this road will have to be repaired, so it is not bad to repair it now, as for the fortifications I mentioned before, those things can be taken away with the army, which Guo Jiajun can rest assured." ”

"Take it away?" The doubts on Guo Jia's face were even heavier now, and he really couldn't figure out what kind of fortifications could be carried around.

It's just that he hesitated, and immediately remembered the plan that Yuan Yun proposed when he was preparing to build a new city in Xudu, including a mobile city wall, and he seemed to understand something when he thought about it.

Yuan Yun suddenly paused when he saw Guo Jia finish asking, and could only continue to explain: "Back then, I planned to use this kind of movable defensive wall in the new city outside Xudu, Guo Jia's military division felt that it was impractical, so he gave me a no, but it really should be vetoed at that time, after all, the technology was not mature at that time, but now it is different, Luoyang's strength is not comparable to the new city of the year, and we have a sharp weapon like a tank, so this kind of mobile fortification, this time does not need to wait for when?" ”

Guo Jia didn't plan to ask anything when he heard this, after all, there had been too many miracles in Yuan Yun, and as for the current mobile fortifications, the other party must have enough confidence.

After Guo Jia quieted down, the three of them finally entered the theme, in Yuan Yun's plan, Yong'an County will become a bridgehead for attacking Yizhou, which will not only provide logistics support for the army, but also become a place where wounded soldiers can recuperate, especially after having a dock, materials and soldiers can be well guaranteed, so only if this place is built, he will choose to go west.

And at this point, the only thing to worry about is Cao Cao's war in Yangzhou, if it ends early, then even if this side is not well prepared, it has to launch an attack in advance, because Yuan Yun very much does not want to be absorbed by Cao Cao, after all, the strategy and tactics used against Liu Bei this time have not appeared in this era at all, and they may not be accepted by the prime minister, if the other party lets the gunpowder army use traditional tactics, I don't know how many soldiers will be lost.

The three of them studied until sunset, and the preliminary plan was finalized, and Yuan Yun had a chance to rest at this time.

When walking around this courtyard, Zhuge Liang introduced the origin of this courtyard on the side, for those local clans, Yuan Yun didn't have much to pay attention to, he was now thinking about the kind of mobile fortifications driven by tanks, this thing can be said to only exist in the chip in his brain, and it has not been actually tested, as for the effect, he himself does not dare to guarantee.

However, when the crusade against Karasuma was carried out, the phalanx composed of several super tanks did play a great defensive role, so that Karasuma's fierce warriors almost threw a mouse, and this time the westward crusade against Liu Bei, as long as some adjustments were made on the basis of those super tanks, so that it was more suitable for the rugged terrain of the road, it would inevitably make the battle in the back much easier, so in this matter, even if it has not been verified, it must be tried.

Returning to the inner house, Yuan Yun saw Liu Yiyi at a glance, at this moment she was sitting in the courtyard tasting fruits under the service of several personal maids, with a very satisfied look on her face.

"Counting the enemy funds in the inner city of Yong'an today, did you make a lot of money?" After Yuan Yun finished asking, he saw that Liu Yiyi's two personal maids immediately brought a stool, and then prepared to wait for him to sit down.

Seeing these two maids, Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning, these are the female shopkeepers that Liu Yiyi brought with her when she was doing hotel business before, since she brought these people over, it means that Liu Yiyi plans to lay a hotel business here.

Liu Yiyi saw that Yuan Yun had been staring at his maids, so he immediately smiled ambiguously and said, "If Yuan Lang likes these two maids who are concubines, it is better to ...... tonight."

"Your sister tonight, you stay here as a special favor of the military advisor, Lao Tzu is out to fight, not out to play, you are good, and you still have these shopkeepers of yours, you are really not afraid that we will lose the war? When the time comes, we will be chased by the enemy, and I will see how you take care of them. After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he could only shake his head, then took a pear and took a bite of it.

Liu Yiyi has always been the most confident in this, so even if Yuan Yun said the word defeat, it didn't matter, pouted and waved away a few maids, and then whispered: "The concubine hasn't come to her period in the past few days." ”

Yuan Yun was still angry at the moment, and replied: "It's a war now, what do you have to do if you can't come on your period...... What? How long has it been? ”

Liu Yiyi saw that Yuan Yun finally reacted, so she covered her mouth and smiled, and after laughing, she patted her belly and said, "This time the concubine dares to pack a ticket, she must be a man." ”

Yuan Yun saw Liu Yiyi patting her stomach, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, and then said carefully: "You can't slap it indiscriminately, this is a baby." ”

After speaking, he seemed to remember something immediately, so Yuan Yun immediately continued: "No, you can't continue to stay in the army, tomorrow I will let Xiaoliu escort you back to Xiangyang, and then return to Luoyang, you don't want to be involved in this side of the matter." ”

"That's not going to work!" Liu Yiyi was suddenly anxious, today when she was scraping the inner city of Yong'an, she had a lot of benefits, because the defenders were attacked by the gunpowder army suddenly, so the retreat was also very fast, and there was no time to destroy the goods, which is quite a lot of wealth, especially the iron-wood city gate, which has now been taken down entirely, if this thing is transported back to Luoyang, it is equivalent to gold.

With so many advantages to take advantage of, Liu Yiyi was able to return to Luoyang at this time, so after she saw Yuan Yun's very resolute expression, she immediately began to play tricks, and she almost rolled on the ground, unwilling to leave.

Yuan Yun looked at his 'tough' wife, and only felt that her whole body hurt in her buttocks, and now she was not beating, nor was she scolding, and she had no way to take the other party at all.
