Three hundred and thirteenth, do not regard Yuan Shao as the enemy of life and death

Volume 1 of the heroic ambitions at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I am a filial and honest man, and I am a filial and honest man. I do not regard Yuan Shao as a great enemy of life and death. I am optimistic and excited about Chen Gong, but Xun Yu maintains a relatively conservative view.

"With that being said, Ming Gong should also understand that if we mobilize a large army to leave Qingyan and Yanzhou to fight, if we want to ensure the supply and demand of the army, and as Ming Gong said, it will not burn, kill, loot, the supply and demand will be particularly large.

If 50,000 troops were sent to Jizhou to fight, at least 100,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians were required to ensure food supply. They also had to eat. This was equivalent to dispatching 150,000 troops, which was very depleted and the war should not be delayed for a long time."

"Of course we know what Wen Ruo said."

Chen Gong waved his hand: "But once Yuan Shao is destroyed, what Ming Gong has obtained will be far more than what he has paid. I think it is time to use the warehouse and use it for a thousand days to raise troops. Now it is also the time to use troops. If you don't need it at this time, when will it be used?"

Chen Gong's opinion was supported by many idle and boring generals, believing that he should attack with all his might, defeat Yuan Shao, occupy Jizhou, and eliminate the biggest disaster in the north.

Guo Peng also believes that he does not support Xun Yu's conservative view because he also considered another issue.

"The Wuwan people and the Xiongnu people in Youzhou and Bingzhou, as well as the Yellow Turbans in Heishan, and the old subordinates of Youzhou clan, are all issues we need to consider. In this attack, my request is not just one Jizhou, but also Youzhou and Bingzhou.

The Yellow Turbans of the Black Mountain were rebellions of the country. What should be resolved must be resolved. The Huns who occupied many counties in Bingzhou must be resolved. The Wuwan people who occupied most counties in Youzhou must also be resolved. These rebels gradually eroded the land of border counties through the internal chaos of the Han Dynasty.

I heard that in Bingzhou, there is no Huns living in only one county, Shangdang, and the other counties, the number of Huns was no less than or even more than that of the Han people. I also served as an official in Youzhou and knew very well that the Wuhuan people eroded and occupied many counties in Youzhou.

Originally, they were all subjugated and begged the great man to survive. The great man pity them and gave them land. As a result, they actually had the tendency to turn against the enemy. It would be fine if I was not there. If I were there, I would never let this kind of thing go."

Guo Peng pointed at the maps of Youzhou and Bingzhou with a serious expression.

"The battle plan is divided into two stages. The first stage is to destroy Yuan Shao's main force, destroy Yuan Shao, completely occupy the entire Jizhou, and symbolically occupy Bingzhou and Youzhou.

The second stage is to completely annihilate, annex the Huns and Wuwan tribes within the Great Wall, completely control Bingzhou and Youzhou, and completely take it into the hands of the Han Dynasty! Relying on the Great Wall, a complete line of defense will be re-established."

The generals and the strategists did not expect that Guo Peng would have such a plan.

Cheng Li knew Guo Peng’s overall plan, so he was the first to stand up to express his support.

"The lord's plan is far-reaching and is very meaningful to future generations. If the Huns and Wuhuans go too deep into the counties and counties in the mainland to reproduce and prosper, it will not take decades, and the population of the Wuhuans and Huns will inevitably rise sharply, even exceeding the number of Han people in the local area. What consequences will be caused by this? Don't you know?"

Cheng Li looked around the strategists and generals around him and saw many people showing sudden enlightenment.

It was obvious that they did not pay too much attention to this matter at the beginning, because the Han Dynasty was always strong in treating foreign enemies in the north.

The Han people now have long established their psychological advantages over the Huns and the Wuwan people. The Central Plains' attitude towards the barbarians in the border was established, and they did not care.

The time interval is too long. The Han people today cannot experience the fear and panic of the Huns in the early Western Han Dynasty more than 300 years ago.

How can we let them reproduce and even make the population exceed that of some counties and counties?

Is this the county of the Han Dynasty, or the tribe of the Huns and Wuhuans?

At that time, should we use the laws of the Han Dynasty to manage the Huns and Wuhuans, or use the rules of their tribe to manage the Han people?

Wouldn't it be that the magpie's nest will happen?

Therefore, Guo Peng directly put forward the requirement of the second section of the plan, proposing that the destruction of Yuan Shao was the first step to occupy Hebei, and the second step was to occupy Hebei intact.

Xun Yu immediately proposed such a plan too grand, and it may take a long time, and it is impossible to rely on a single advance to solve it.

He strongly asked Guo Peng to think carefully.

"I certainly understand what Wen Ruo means. How could I say I want to achieve such a goal in one go?"

Guo Peng smiled: "This time, we just eliminated Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang, occupied Jizhou and Henoi. Many other Hebei forces still value harmony. When we stabilize Jizhou, we will then use Jizhou as the foundation for our march, and then occupy Bingzhou and Youzhou."

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with Guo Peng's opinion.

"Since that's the case, Yu has nothing to say. He is willing to help Ming Gong attack Jizhou without any obstacles to Ming Gong's march."

Xun Yu has been appointed as Cheng Li's deputy by Guo Peng, assisting Cheng Li to stay in the base camp and support the supply of military supplies.

This is Guo Peng's first major test for Xun Yu, and Xun Yu attaches great importance to this.

Then, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and Chen Gong immediately expressed their agreement, so the five major strategists under Guo Peng collectively expressed their agreement with Guo Peng's second-section plan theory and started a new discussion on this.

In other words, he no longer regards Yuan Shao as a great enemy of life and death.

Jizhou has been regarded by Guo Peng as his base for advancing You and the two prefectures to restore Hebei, and Yuan Shao is naturally just a tactical opponent.

Guo Peng’s goal is even more grand and far away.

Suddenly, they felt that Yuan Shao's importance in their hearts suddenly dropped by a level, and I don't know why.

After the strategic direction was determined, the tactical arrangement was made, the sand table deduction began, the precise calculation began, and the strategists and generals worked together to brainstorm and proposed many solutions.

The original plan was overturned a lot, and some other plans were added, and there were very fierce debates between them.

How many trenchers, how many powerful crossbows, how many arrows, how many stone bullets are needed, you need to calculate a relatively accurate number, and then mobilize manpower to prepare and load the vehicle.

The capacity of manpower is limited, and animal power must be used. How many horses, cows and donkeys are recruited, all of which need to be relatively accurate.

How many troops should be dispatched to fight, how many people should be needed to ensure smooth transportation of the food channels, and what strong laborers from counties should be recruited to be civilians.

It was accurate to a certain family in a certain village, and the township and village chiefs all led the team to the battlefield and gathered together to set off together.

All the recruited men wore famous brands on their chests, counting the number of people who went there, how many people they had to bring back, and how to arrange their own rations.

After making a decision from the Lu County Base Camp, the cavalry was ordered to scatter out and issued government orders to various counties.

The prefects and ministers of all counties and states, the magistrates of each county, and the village chiefs of each township and village were fully mobilized to prepare for the army's dispatch.

How many tasks are shared by the county and state, how long does the army need to pass through, how much grain and civilians prepare to serve, and then dispatch them to each county, and the county magistrates and county magistrates are then divided into various villages, mobilizing every household and every strong laborer.

There are also the transfer of livestock such as cattle, horses, donkeys, and carts.

Following the pre-planned military transit route, all counties and villages along the way were mobilized together to ensure that the army had no problems with its advancement.

After entering Jizhou, the grain routes should be planned according to what routes to plan, etc., are also arranged properly.
