In early December of the third year of Xingping, Guo Peng decided on the strategy of the Northern Expedition to the Xianbei.

Because the Xianbei grassland does not need to be managed, the purpose is to destroy the living forces of the Xianbei and destroy as much as possible. A simple invasion war does not require post-war construction, so the cost is not very large.

The 500-man calculation team under the staff began to urgently calculate the food, weapons, war horses, and civilians needed to fight the war.

These detailed calculation tasks will be handed over to the calculation team.

Now the entire staff station believes that the number calculation team plays a great role in war planning. Even Xun You, who is taciturn and honest, praised the work of the number calculation team.

The number of enemies, the time of the enemy's advance, the route of the enemy's advance, the efficiency of the enemy's advance, the needs of our army in all aspects, etc.

After the strategists obtain these detailed data, they can deduce the war process in detail based on the map.

Often before the war begins, the process and result of a war have been deduced.

For example, this is the case in the battle against the Southern Xiongnu. The Southern Xiongnu seemed fierce, but facing the Wei Group with strong mobilization and combat power, the Southern Xiongnu were as vulnerable as children and were wiped out by Guo Peng within a month.

Among them, the data obtained by the digital computing group through precise calculations played a great role, and the main staff members of the entire staff attach great importance to these data.

To this end, Xi Zhong and Xun You and others also specially learned numerical calculation from several numerical masters in the numerical calculation team, and practiced the academic philosophy of not being ashamed to ask questions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng once again proposed the slogan "Mathematics is the foundation of everything", and asked Chen Lin to write an article and publish it in various places under his command.

He called on officials, officials, academicians, and knowledgeable people in the world to learn mathematics while learning classics. He also announced that in the future, mathematics will be indispensable for the selection and promotion assessment of officials under his command.

Officials and scholars with strong mathematical skills will get better promotion conditions.

Those who lack mathematical ability, those who do not have mathematical thinking, and those who do not understand the importance of data will not be so easy to go in the future.

To this end, he promoted and increased his salary to the numerical team that played an important role in military planning and daily administration, and also awarded Guanneihou to several leading divine calculators with strong numerical capabilities.

Wang Can, a native of Shanyang County who was previously recommended to Guo Peng by Cai Yong, was well-versed in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and was highly valued by Guo Peng. He joined the staff as the leader of the arithmetic team, made great contributions to the previous battle against the Southern Xiongnu and was named the Marquis of Ting.

He has become a new celebrity around Guo Peng.

Then Guo Peng also stipulated that if officials want to make their own suggestions on future administrative and military issues, they must accompany their own investigation results and calculation results, and use data to talk to him.

Without data evidence, everything is speculation, and he will not accept any exaggerated and narrowed imaginary numbers.

Mr. Guo’s power is enough to shake the learning goals of officials and scholars in a sense.

So in order to cater to Guo Peng's slogans and ideas, a frenzy of learning mathematics was set off in the local area.

Everyone collected the books related to mathematics that they could find at hand, copied them, passed them on, asked teachers to teach them, worked hard to learn mathematics, and studied statistics, etc.

The three or five officials gathered together to discuss things no longer just the Five Classics and Fourteen Laws, or conspiracy of power and tricks, but there were more issues about mathematics.

Mathematics related books such as "Zhoufeng Arithmetic" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" suddenly became popular in discussions.

Although the effect is far worse than Emperor Wu of Han’s strategy of “abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism”, fortunately, mathematics cannot shake the status of Confucian classics, so no one rejects it.

If you use law and Mohism to do it, it is a reform, and there will be problems.

You can't take too much steps. Take it step by step and use mathematical thinking to impact the dogmatic benevolence, righteousness and morality in the scholar's mind, laying a foundation for larger-scale changes in the future.

Mathematics is really the foundation.

Moreover, being a scheming official will also become a rare step for the children of poor families and even the common people.

Without reform, Guo Peng slightly cleared the dense clouds away, allowing people in the darkness to see such a slight light of hope.

Any little light is great hope.

When you hope to gather enough, miracles can be brought.

The detectives went northwards and began to focus on collecting information and information from various Xianbei ministries. With the help of business travelers in Youzhou and Xianbei doing smuggling business, they reported their location, population, number of soldiers, etc., and made final confirmation and statistics.

After the final confirmation and statistics were over, it was when Guo Peng officially sent troops north to attack the Xianbei.

The split Xianbei is a soft persimmon. If you don’t pinch it now, do you have to wait until Kirby can reunify the Xianbei again?

Mr. Guo's cold eyes turned to the north, above the grassland.

No matter who it is, don't want to go south again.

Let me be good at working as a coolie to build a beautiful Wei Empire!

New wars are being planned in full swing, and news from the south and west are constantly summarizing in Yecheng.

The spies faithfully carried out their mission, allowing Guo Peng to have some understanding of what happened in the whole world and facilitate the grasp of the current situation.

He heard that in Xuzhou, scholars had a lot of opinions about Tao Qian and opposed Tao Qian's establishment of the Xu Duchy Kingdom. Even though the Xu Duchy Kingdom had been established, many people refused the position of Xu Duchy Kingdom and few people accepted it.

Everyone said that they were Han ministers and did not act as Xu ministers, which made Tao Qian very angry and embarrassed, but they didn’t know what to do. Should they kill someone?

At this time, he really didn't dare.

Therefore, when the founding of the Duchy of Xu was in a state of shutdown, the Xuzhou people were dissatisfied with the situation of greatly reducing administrative efficiency.

The scholars spread news that was unfavorable to Tao Qian everywhere through their own channels, inciting remarks against the establishment of Xu Duchy Kingdom, and confronting Tao Qian, which made Tao Qian extremely embarrassed for a moment.

Guo Peng also heard that Sun Ce, the king of Duke of Wu, who was not sure whether it was lucky or unfortunate, had gained an advantage over Liu Yao on the military battlefield. He won three consecutive small-scale battles. Liu Yao was defeated step by step, and he saw that Yuzhang County was about to be taken down by Sun Ce.

But on the political battlefield, Sun Ce was very passive.

There were not enough officials to be recruited to be his ministers of the Duke of Wu. Fortunately, the county prefect was all his own people. There were many county magistrates who would rather abandon their official positions than be his ministers of the Duke of Wu.

Even the county officials who were promoted by him were many unwilling to be ministers of the Wu State and chose to abandon their posts, and some attempted to stir up rebellion after the establishment of the Wu State. The opposition was wave after wave, and rebellion incidents also occurred frequently.

For this reason, Zhou Yu had to return from the front line and stay in Wujun. He was busy with Sun Ce every day, recruiting scholars and comforting the powerful.

Unfortunately, the results are not very effective.

Sun Ce used to kill too many people and committed too ruthless crimes. Now he has even established a country. Everyone is dissatisfied with the boss and resists it.

Which onion are you?

You also enfeoffed the country and established a country and became a monarch?

What a joke?

If you don’t agree, you don’t agree.

No matter how handsome Sun Ce is, no matter how strong Zhou Yu is, it is useless.

This is a matter of core interests.

Let’s not talk about Liu Yao. The primary contradiction in the Yue Kingdom is that Sun Ce is about to destroy the Yue Kingdom, and it’s not the turn of Liu Yao to worry about other issues.

Liu Biao is even more funny and is still in a cold war with the Cai family, and there is nothing to say.
