Qin Feng returned to Yedu, the warmth of home and the love of his wife and children filled his heart with the motivation to move forward. He wants to go on firmly in this troubled world, for the sake of his wife and children, and his own ideals.

Therefore, on the second day of his return, Qin Feng gathered the backbone forces under his command in the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He listened to Xu Shu's report on the matter after he left. The most fortunate thing for him is that Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the two tiger guards, will be safe and sound. The second is fortunate that with the collective efforts of all the military advisors, Cao Cao grabbed the entire Xuzhou.

Qin Feng's big hand slapped heavily on the Tianxia shape behind him, pressed the entire Central Plains under the palm of his hand, and said awe-inspiringly: "Entering the stage of war preparation, the prime minister is going to fight the Central Plains with Cao Cao!" ”

Under the hall, the six military advisors and eight generals looked at each other, and their eyes gradually became hot, burning sparks.

I saw Zhao Yun stand up suddenly, and bowed: "Lord, all the soldiers of the army, I am willing to serve the great cause of the Lord with death!" ”

Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Wei Yan stood up and bowed: "We are willing to serve the Lord and serve with death!" ”

Qin Feng was very pleased, since the establishment of the army, he had never doubted the loyalty of the army. And the Qin army, from the general to the soldiers, has always been closely united by Qin Feng's side.

Now Qin Feng has the land of five states, if he can get the three states of the Central Plains, he will dominate the eight states, and the hegemony has been achieved. In a few hands, you can change the dynasty and create a new era.

The hearts of the generals are eager, and they look forward to making great achievements.

The six military advisors glanced at each other, and their goal was to assist the lord to rule the world. So. They have been studying the strategic plan for the Central Plains, and now they have a relatively complete plan.

Then. Chief Military Advisor Xu Shu got up and said, "Lord! Cao Cao was good at using soldiers. The number of people is unpredictable, and although the number of people is small, it should not be taken lightly. It is better to stick to it for a long time, relying on the moat of the mountains and the Yellow River, and supporting the soldiers and horses of the five states. Heroes and heroes in the outreach, and agriculture in the interior to prepare for war. ”

"Select elite troops, divide them into surprise soldiers, and use the theory of guerrilla warfare to harass the three states of the Central Plains. The enemy advances and I retreat. The enemy retreats and advances, attacking the enemy's vital points and destroying his important facilities, so that the enemy is exhausted and the people cannot be satisfied with their own business. I will be able to drag Cao Cao down in less than three years, and then march into the army, and I can win easily. ”

The other five military advisors nodded when they heard this.

Qin Feng returned to Yedu from Xuchang. Along the way, what he was thinking about was the decisive battle in the Central Plains. Contacting some classic wars in later generations, he also came up with a complete plan. At this moment, he found that the strategy of the six military divisions was similar, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your military divisions coincide with the original. However, the plan of your military advisors is too gentle, and if it drags on for several years, it will inevitably change! ”

The six military advisors looked at each other. Said in unison: "Please correct the lord!" ”

If it comes to strategy, Qin Feng doesn't want to say that he corrects the six military advisors. None of them can be corrected. But he has advanced knowledge, and these are powers. Smiled: "Benxiang also has a set of plans, called the "Strategic Consumption Plan". ”

"Strategic Attrition Plan!" The six military advisors were keenly aware of the word consumption.

Qin Feng said earnestly at this moment: "If the society wants to develop and the country wants to be strong, what does it depend on?" At the end of the day, it's the people. Therefore, we must be people-oriented and pay attention to the life ...... of every soldier. ”

When Zhao Yun and other generals heard this, they were grateful. Because since ancient times, one general has achieved ten thousand bones, and no one has ever really valued the life of a soldier.

Qin Feng said: "We have more powerful logistics reserves and material production capacity than Cao Cao, in order to reduce the consumption of our own troops in the Central Plains War as much as possible. When a large number of troops were mobilized, they began to confront Cao's army on the long border line, so as to form a reliable deterrent capability against the Central Plains. At the same time, taking this as an opportunity, relying on its own strong economic and agricultural strength, through a long-term strategic confrontation, Cao Cao's logistics will be completely dragged down, or Cao Cao will be forced to attack in an all-out way, and his vital forces will be consumed in the defensive battle. ”

The only thing the opponent can do is to confront each other. However, the attrition of hundreds of thousands of troops is staggering. Thousands of years have proven that a protracted large-scale battle can bring down a prosperous country, and even chaos and division.

The six military advisors admired his plan.

That's it.

Qin Feng ordered Xiaopei, which was burned to the ground, to build it into a military city, appointed Zhang Liao as the general of Zhengdong, Li Dian as the governor, and Jia Xu as the strategist, leading the Tiger Legion into the military city of Xiaopei, assisted by the local army, and gathered 100,000 troops to look at Yuzhou.

At the same time, in Qingzhou, Zhang He was appointed as the general of the expedition to the north, Le Jin was appointed as the governor, Tian Feng was the strategist, and the Golden Eagle Legion was stationed in the garrison, supplemented by the local garrison, and 100,000 eagles were gathered to see Gunzhou.

In addition, Xu Huang was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, Gao Ran was appointed as the governor, and Fu was appointed as the strategist, and the Montenegrin army was stationed in Hanoi, assisting the local garrison, and gathering 100,000 troops to watch the division of Luoyang.

In the end, Qin Feng appointed Zhao Yun as the general of Huwei, Gao Shun as the general of the expedition to the east, Wei Yan as the general of the expedition to the south, Chen Zhi as the governor, and Liao Hua as the partial general, leading the Snake Legion, the Blue Wolf Legion, the Xiong Zhen Legion, and the 200,000 troops stationed in Baima to deter Guandu.

Since then, the 500,000-strong army has been divided into four directions, looking at the Central Plains.

In addition, in order to ensure good development in the territory, provide high-quality logistical supplies for all large armies. After Qin Feng took the imperial court, he carried out a series of internal affairs personnel transfers.

Liu Xuan was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was the other driver, and Chen Deng was engaged.

Fa Zheng was appointed as the Qingzhou Thorn History, Chen Qun was a different driver, and Feng Ji was engaged.

Zhuge Jin was appointed as the assassin of Youzhou, Xin Bi was the other driver, and Geng Wu was engaged.

Zhang Yan was appointed as the assassin of the state, Dong Zhao was the other driver, and Han Hao was engaged.

Because Qin Feng owned Hedong, Hanoi and other Sili counties, Qin Feng appointed Lu Su as the lieutenant of Sili.

Qin Feng personally led the Jizhou Mu who was located in the center of the battle.

In this regard, with these talented people in charge of government affairs, the rapid development of the states, and the support of the local army.

Qin Feng also ordered Tian Chou to be the Taishou of Liaonan County in the grassland, trading with various ethnic groups in the grassland, providing horses for the army and ploughing cattle for the locality.

He also ordered Hu Che'er's black-clothed guards to take charge of punishment, supervise all states and ministries, and severely punish corruption. Abuse of power and other violations of law and discipline.

He also ordered the intelligence guard to carry out the necessary work behind enemy lines. divide and divide, and instigate the people to use them for their own use.

This internal policy transfer. It was recognized by later generations as an important decision for Qin Feng to stabilize the interior, and at the same time, it was also the real beginning of his sweeping world. Later generations of scholars can't help but sigh that this king had so many talented people at that time.

The military presence of the Qin army in various places was later called the "Cold War" 1,800 years ago.

A superpower was destroyed by the Cold War, and Cao Cao's power was far from that of a superpower. Therefore, Qin Feng was confident that Cao Cao would take the move, and he was even more confident that he would be dragged down.

Sure enough. When Qin Feng's 500,000 army was hoarded on the border. The Central Plains political group headed by Cao Cao was in chaos.

Cao Cao, who said that the same soldiers pressed the border, forcing Liu Biao to hand over the big and small Qiao, was terrified at the moment. He never expected that Qin Feng would be one step ahead of the soldiers to suppress the realm, and he would not be able to take care of the soldiers to suppress Liu Biao. He immediately sent an envoy to Qin Feng to reaffirm the friendly alliance between the two sides and emphasize personal friendship.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, made a "solemn" promise. This mobilization of the army is just a military exercise, please Brother Meng De do not let mediocrities disturb him.

Cao Cao said in his heart that if you can believe it, the sow will go up the tree and pass with the monkey. Immediately he sent another messenger. Ask about the specific links and time of the military exercise.

Qin Feng replied again, because the north is very large, and there are Xuzhou and Qingzhou in the Central Plains. The ministries had to be moved back and forth in order to adapt to the geographical operational environment of the states. Therefore, this military exercise is a long-term process. Most likely several years. But don't worry about Brother Meng De, it's just that the military exercise will definitely not cross.

Military exercises for several years. Cao Cao secretly thought to you, who are you kid fooling? Therefore, he came to the conclusion that Qin Feng was very likely to turn this bullshit military exercise into a decisive battle, and because of this, he was heartbroken, so he sent an envoy again.

Cao Cao proposed: his three states in the Central Plains have strong war strength. And once again, if Qin Feng insists on promoting this large-scale military exercise, then the Central Plains will definitely strengthen its armament, seek to improve its own defense capabilities, and will send troops to monitor the Qin army in the military exercise on the border line.

In a month's round trip between Xuchang and Yedu, a journey of tens of thousands of miles, the tired dead dog-like messenger brought back Qin Feng's news again, with only two words: "Whatever!" ”

"Whatever!" When Cao Cao heard these two words, he had a heartfelt desire to kill.

It seems that this military exercise, as it goes back and forth, will suddenly evolve into a decisive battle.

Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others said that Cao Cao sent troops to strike first, because they somewhat saw Qin Feng's intentions, if they sent a large army to confront them, they couldn't afford to consume it, so it was better to come up and fight.

However, Guo Jiali disagreed, although he also knew that Qin Feng, who was only stationed but did not move, was depleting his own logistics reserves, but if he took the initiative to attack, he would be consumed by his vital strength At the same time, it was very likely to face threats from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu in Huainan, and Lu Bu in Yongzhou.

However, if Qin Feng's four-way army is not sent out, he will not be able to make a favorable counterattack at the first time.

Therefore, Guo Jia's construction was to send troops to confront him, and at the same time send envoys to form an alliance with Yuan Shu and Lü Bu.

Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's advice and sent troops to confront him first, seeking changes from it. In this regard, he also sent envoys to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu, who was bent on profiteering, hoped to fish in troubled waters in the future Central Plains War, so he agreed to Cao Cao's alliance. And Lu Bu, in order to have no worries in the decisive battle with Ma Teng in Liangzhou, also agreed to Cao Cao's request for an alliance.

Cao Cao, who had obtained the two alliances, breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately ordered Xiahoudun to be the main general, Zhu Ling to be the governor, and full of favors to engage, and 100,000 troops were stationed in Qian County to confront the Qin army in Qingxuzhou.

In order to make Xiahou Yuan the main general, Lu Qian as the governor, Chen Jiao and Liang Xi as the principal, 100,000 troops hoarded in Luoyang.

He also ordered Cao Hong to be the general, Yu Ban to be the governor, and Liu Ye to be engaged, sending 100,000 troops, converging the Tuntian soldiers along the Yellow River, and gathering 200,000 troops to garrison Guandu.

In the end, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji and others were ordered to stay in Wancheng and garrison Jingzhou.

Cao Cao stubbornly summoned 400,000 old and new soldiers and horses to confront Qin Feng's 500,000 army.

Two powerful princes, whose territory adds up to two-thirds of the world, are fighting to the death in the Central Plains between them! The curtain has gradually opened. (To be continued......)
