Sun Jian frowned and said: "But the strength of our army that can be put into the battlefield is less than 200,000, except for the water division, it is only about 100,000, and the strength of Liu's army is less than 20,000, and the vast majority of them are still undertrained new troops!" In the coming year, how will our army resist the all-out attack of the Wei army! ”

Pang Tong said: "Continue to increase the scale of shipbuilding, and at the same time conduct water warfare training for all land forces, so as to ensure our army's water superiority in the coming year, as for the direction of Jiaozhou, because the terrain here is complex, and there are many lofty mountains and mountains, it is advantageous to defend and not to attack, as long as 100,000 elite soldiers hold the treacherous places, it will be difficult for the Wei army to attack the hinterland of our country through Jiaozhou!" ”

Sun Jian nodded: "However, these can only temporarily protect my Jiangdong!" If we can't annihilate the main force of the Wei army, my Great Wu will fall into the hands of the Wei army sooner or later! ”

Pang Tong hugged his fists and said: "The minister has two strategies, if it goes well, then our army can also reverse the situation!" ”

When Sun Jian and the other civil and military officers heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and Sun Ce urged impatiently: "Mr. Shiyuan, just say it quickly!" ”

Pang Tong promised and said: "First, contact the remnants of the princes in various places and try to get in touch with the former Han ministers who were under house arrest in Chang'an!" ”

Sun Jian frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's the use of this?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the princes of all regions are no longer what they used to be, they still have a force to be reckoned with in the local area! In order to buy people's hearts and consider the overall situation, Cao Cao did not completely kill them at the beginning, but reorganized a considerable part of them into the current local troops! Solve them by the method of ascending and descending in the dark. ”

"Local troops?! It was the tens of thousands of troops that were routed head-on by Huo Jun's thousands of light cavalry? Ling Cao asked mockingly.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Exactly!" Although these armies were weak in combat, if they were willing to do so, they would be able to set off a monstrous wave behind Cao Cao. Because Cao Cao's elite main forces are all in the Western Regions, Goguryeo, Chibi, Jiaozhou and Chaohu near these peripheral areas, and there is only one imperial forest army of 10,000 people in its hinterland! ”

Sun Jian nodded. frowned and said: "If this is the case, it can cause Cao Cao a lot of trouble!" But. Even so, it is not enough to provide us with the opportunity to enter Jiangbei! ”

Sun Jian made sense to say this, because there would not be many local troops who could really be instigated by them, and the Wuhuan Legion and the Imperial Forest Army would be able to appear at the scene of the incident at the first time, and they could quickly deal with the rabble of the local army.

"The king's words are true! So we need allies! ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but be stunned: "Ally? ”

Immediately, Sun Jian smiled bitterly, "Where do we have allies now?" ”

Pang Tong showed an unfathomable smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget, there are still many countries established by barbarian aliens around our Central Plains, and many of them are not weak!" ”

Sun Jian understood what Zanpang Tong meant. frowned: "You want to cooperate with another race?" ”

"Exactly."

Pang Tong saw the resistance and disgust in Sun Jian's heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "The minister understands the king's thoughts, but at present, this is the only chance and hope for our army to fight against the Wei State!" The king must not miss the major affairs of the state because of his personal likes and dislikes! ”

Sun Jian's brow furrowed even tighter, he was reluctant to hook up with a different race, but the current situation seemed to leave him with no other choice.

"Your Majesty, what Shi Yuan said is true! Think again, Your Majesty! Zhang Zhao came out of the column and hugged his fists.

"Humph! You and the rats have come up with such a despicable scheme! We will compete with Cao Cao in the killing field, even if we lose, we will still be heroes, but if we cooperate with other races. Even if he wins, he is just a clown who plays with fire and sets himself on fire and lures wolves into the house! ”

Sun Ce said angrily, with a proud face, he really deserved to be the little overlord of Jiangdong. Huang Gai and the others immediately echoed: "What the prince said is extremely true! Wang Shang is a hero who can compete with Cao Cao, how can he be such a villain? ”

Sun Jian raised his head and glanced at the excited generals and Zhang Zhao with an anxious face. He turned his head to look at Pang Tong again, but found that Pang Tong was standing still with an indifferent face.

Sun Jian pondered for a moment. asked Pang Tongdao: "Shi Yuan's words must not have been finished yet?" ”

The scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes converged on Pang Tong.

Pang Tong will give up his hands to Sun Jian and Sun Ce. He said with emotion: "The king and the generals are heroic, and the ministers are deeply admired!" However, the minister's words are not finished, please calm down. ”

After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "The countries of the Western Regions are not the territory of our Han people, but Cao Cao attaches great importance to this place, he obviously wants to use this as a springboard to use troops against the Western Polar Region after dominating the world!" ”

All the civil and military officials talked in a low voice, and the generals all looked a little yearning, and the civil servants all showed a trace of melancholy.

"Cao Cao is so reckless, I'm afraid that it will be a blessing to the people!" A young man said worriedly.

This person's name is Li Jie, he is a famous talent in Jiangdong, and his literary talent is not painless, windy poetry and songs, but an understanding of ancient classics and unique insights.

"What Li Qingjia said is extremely true! Since ancient times, it has been said that although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike! ”

Sun Jian nodded thoughtfully, turned his head to Pang Tong and said, "Yuan Zhi, please continue!" ”

Pang Tong saluted Sun Jian and continued: "More news reported by the spies, there are two powerful foreign countries in the north and west of the Western Regions, one is named Wusun, and the other is called Guishuang, although Wusun is ostensibly subservient to Cao Cao, but when the Wei army entered the Western Regions, his general Ma Teng once attacked the capital of Wusun and killed tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, so as to deter other countries in the Western Regions, all of which have already planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the Wusun people!" ”

Pang Tongyi said with a smile: "The minister thinks that as long as the time comes, the Wusun people will not hesitate to attack Cao Cao's sphere of influence in the Western Regions, and the Kushan Empire attacked Anxi a few days ago and won a great victory, and obtained nearly a quarter of the territory of Anxi, at present, it is said that the territory of the Kushan Emperor is not inferior to my Central Plains, and there are more than one million people with armor under his command, and they are now looking at Kangju, and Kangju has surrendered to Cao Cao a few days ago!" If these two countries attack the Western Regions together, regardless of the outcome, at least the main force under Cao Cao's command will definitely go to the Western Regions! At that time, our army will be able to take advantage of the situation to go north! ”

Pang Tong's words made everyone present excited, and Pang Tong smiled and said to Sun Ce: "The Western Regions is originally a barbarian land, and even if Guishan and Wusun finally defeat Cao Cao, it is impossible to enter our Central Plains in a short period of time!" The prince can rest assured! ”

Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, and said with admiration: "Mr. Shiyuan is really a good plan!" ”

Pang Tong smiled and humbled himself. (To be continued.) )
