The military strategy of the Blood Banner Army was proposed by Liu Xie. This is a bit ridiculous to say, a puppet emperor who has been imprisoned in the palace since he was a child, let alone commanding the army on the battlefield, it is estimated that he can't even speak autonomously, right?

Of course not.

Liu Xie's mind is extremely rich. not only has Wang Tianyun's comprehension and summary of the combat of mortal soldiers, but also has Rong Ziju's sophistication in managing government affairs.

At the beginning, whether it was Chen Gong, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, or Gao Shun, they all had an extremely contemptuous attitude towards Liu Xie's personal ability. Even when Liu Xie first proposed the three strategies of "hiding troops from the people", "streamlining the administration with elite troops", and "encircling the plains from mountainous areas", he was met with fierce opposition.

In Lu Bu's words, the soldiers in his hands are now brave and brave, and they can be called the first in the world, so why should they endure in the face of the cowardly Liu Zhang? Directly start the war on the Chengdu Plain, the divine soldiers descend from the sky, and quickly seize the front line of Chengdu and Guanghan, which can directly disintegrate the ruling core of Liu Zhang's line. Then show the identity of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't the remnants of the entire Sichuan be able to surrender without a fight, and then quickly seize control of the entire Sichuan?

And Chen Gong was also a little puzzled by Liu Xie's plans. At present, it seems that logistics is the biggest shortcoming of the Blood Flag Army. Tens of thousands of people, people eat horses and chew, a day is not a small number. If you want to develop slowly, you have to have that innate condition, right? Although he understands that Liu Xie doesn't want to directly pull out the banner and show the carriage and horses to jump out and stand in front of the people of the world, even if it is hidden, there are other ways, right? It is not necessary to "hide soldiers from the people" or be a bandit, right?

In the face of many incomprehensions and doubts, Liu Xie insisted on his own opinions. He knew what he was doing, and he knew there was absolutely nothing wrong with him doing so. What's more, this is what Lord Yan Luo has repeatedly told: don't be in a hurry to show your head, everything will have to wait for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's battle to be avoided before you can start to do it.

Because of the elastic pressure relationship of life and death talismans, even if they don't agree in their hearts, when Liu Xie makes the decision, the rest of the people are still doing their best to assist. On the one hand, there is no way, who will let the family take care of their own lives? On the other hand, the eerie and terrifying back always lingers in their hearts.

Forget it, there is that god-like figure controlling the direction above, and there is really a problem, and it is easy to overturn it with that person's means, right?

What is puzzling is that from the very beginning, Liu Xie's strategy of "collecting displaced people, organizing farming, robbing official grain, and combining farmers and soldiers" has actually produced extremely miraculous changes under the implementation of the so-called "cottages".

The displaced people who were collected were very industrious, and after spending the initial period of living on the cottage, they fell directly to the cottage.

Because the grain that Liu Xie took out was actually two seasons a year!

I've never heard of rice that can be harvested twice a year! And the yield is terrifying!

There is no need to ask, Lu Bu and the others all know that this thing should be what Liu Xie got from the god-like Lord Yama. Now they have some understanding, for the sake of Liu Xie, they have to choose this kind of cannibalization from the most remote area, rather than flowering from the middle with great fanfare.

You need a big rear.

Sure enough, a year later, the displaced people who had harvested two crops of rice in a row were not only self-sufficient and regarded Liu Xie as their reborn parents, but also could in turn use grain to feed the soldiers to a certain extent. And this is already foreseeable, as long as this development continues, it will not be long, at most another year, and the output of the displaced people will be able to completely supply the stomach of the eight thousand soldiers in Liu Xie's hands.

There is no shortage of outcasts here. In particular, Sichuan, a place where the fighting was relatively slow, became the main concentration of displaced people. But Liu Zhang simply couldn't manage so many displaced people, because there were no more fields in the plains that were suitable for growing food. The only way to do this is to allow the displaced people to continue their migration to the mountains to the south. This naturally cheapened Liu Xie in the end.

The mountainous terrain is complex. It is true that there are many inconveniences on the march. However, the high-precision color map in Liu Xie's hand was like opening an eye in the sky for him, whether it was an ambush, a surprise attack, or a detour, or evacuation, it was effortless. Even in Lu Bu's words, with such a map, Liu Xie's chances of dominating the world can be increased by three percent!

Now, in addition to the more than 8,000 soldiers who served the "Divine Water" brought by Lu Bu, there are also more than 2,000 homeless people who have been trained by Lu Bu and scattered to several settlements established by homeless people. Farming in peacetime, training in the morning and evening, military quality alone, although it is not an elite, but it can already be regarded as a qualified soldier.

This is the strategy "militia system" that Liu Xie derived after summarizing the experience and memory of Wang Tianyun and Rong Ziju. His idea was to build a foundation for himself to sweep the world before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought each other.

Fa Zheng was stunned as he listened to Liu Xie and Chen Gong slowly talk about these things, and his heart was so shocked that he couldn't describe it. He could never have imagined that Lu Bu would be directly moved to southern Sichuan after the defeat of Xiapi. And the kind of rice that can be harvested twice a year is almost like a fantasy.

In the end, Fa Zheng had to lock all the doubts in his heart on the name that appeared the most in Liu Xie and Chen Gong's mouths, "Yama".

Fa Zheng's heart was surging and a little empty, after all, this was a "betrayal". Even if Liu Zhang didn't give him a chance to display his talent and neglected him, he was still nominally the "lord" of Fazheng. There are still some psychological obstacles in such behavior.

However, Fazheng's errand is not too complicated. All he needed to do was to list all the military layouts of Liu Zhang's line to the south of Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, and Xinggu, as well as the information of the main garrisons in each town, and then tell Liu Xie's Blood Banner Army. At the same time, in his own circle, he also listed those who were full of resentment towards Liu Zhang, seeking an opportunity to pull them into the camp of the Blood Banner Army.

And Fa Zheng's clan circle and his undesirable situation are the reasons why Chen Gong and Liu Xie found him. Of course, Fa Zheng's ability is also good, but it still needs to be further slowly understood.

Just when Liu Xie subdued Fazheng, returned to southern Sichuan, and began to actively prepare for the war, the time came to December of the fourth year of Jian'an.

The military confrontation on both sides of the Yellow River, which surrounds the strategically important point of "Guandu," has reached a critical value. The arrangements for both sides are basically in place. The next step is to seek their own advantageous fighters and prepare to fight. But at this moment, an extremely fatal thing for Cao Cao appeared.

Cao Cao, who has always been known as a careerist, tasted the taste of raising tigers this time.

Liu Bei, who was cursed by Lu Bu as a "big-eared thief", was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou that year, first pretending to take refuge, and then Lu Bu found out that his heart was different and wanted to kill him, but when Liu Bei was almost crushed, fortunately Cao Cao's intervention forced Lu Bu to give up and kill everything, retreated, and gave up Xiaopei as Liu Bei's safe place.

Later, Lu Bu, who was always difficult to let go of in his heart, took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's defeat against Zhang Xiu to send troops to Xiaopei again, and won the battle. And Liu Bei left his wife and children, fled in a hurry, and once again hid under Cao Cao.

At this point of looking at Liu Bei, Lu Bu's vision is still much more unique than Cao Cao's. The word "thief" is all it takes. That guy is a thief! A thief who is hard to change, can you expect him to live in peace?

Therefore, just when Cao Cao was gearing up and nervously preparing to seek a fighter plane, thinking about how to win more with less. Liu Bei reversed. From the momentum of Xiaopei, which he had previously operated, he quickly pulled up 20,000 or 30,000 peasant strongmen, and under the leadership of a small number of regular sergeants, he took advantage of the situation and took Xiapi, and at the same time sent a letter to Yuan Shao to seek unity and attack Cao Cao together.
