Chapter 1297 Qingzhou Strategy (Page 1/1)

Shen You very much agreed with Pang Tong's statement. As of now, Chen Dao is his personal guard cavalry general. Tian Kai is rude to Chen Dao, which is rude to him.

What should such a person do to help him? Let him die for himself.

Without any doubts, they no longer considered Tian Kai's life or death and planned the war on their own. Shen You knew that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy and needed the full support of Pang Tong and Chen Dao. He also changed his attitude and asked Pang Tong for plans. Pang Tong was ordered to serve Shen You's army for two months. He knew that Shen You had the intention of winning, but he always pretended not to know. At this moment, he took advantage of Chen Dao's chance to attack and defeat Shen You's heart and defense in one fell swoop, and then he revealed his plan.

With Fuzeng Mountain and several nearby rivers as the boundary, Qingzhou can be roughly divided into two parts: east and west. The west is dominated by plains, with developed transportation and many household registrations. The east is dominated by hills, which is relatively large and sparsely populated. However, there are many river valleys among the hills that can be cultivated and settled. In the case of frequent wars in Qingzhou, many people fled to the hills, farming and self-sufficiency. Although it is difficult, they can survive.

More than 100,000 people in the remaining Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were scattered.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were based on the people who lost their land and were led by some small powerful people. There were many people, but few had knowledge. The Yellow Turbans had been in an almost ten years of rebellion, and they had not found a strategy that suited their development. They had always wanted to meet with Zhang Yan and others in the Taihang Mountains. They organized several western expeditions, but the northern expeditions were not successful and suffered heavy losses. Now they are unable to launch a major war again. Some retreated into the Taishan area and some retreated into the hills in the east.

Tian Kai was a subordinate of Gongsun Zan. He adhered to Gongsun Zan's style of conduct and had always been incompatible with the Yellow Turbans. Even if Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao and was unable to support him, his relationship with the Yellow Turbans was not close. However, Sun Ce was different, and his relationship with the Yellow Turbans has always been very good. In his eyes, the Yellow Turbans were the people and were not an ant thief at all. This time, Liu Pi, who was specially transferred to Jiangnan, was to use Liu Pi's identity as the Yellow Turbans, let him show up and contact the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and promote military farming in Qingzhou.

Only by solving the food problem can Shen You gain a foothold in Qingzhou. The reason why Gongsun Zan was determined to occupy Qingzhou was that he wanted to pay taxes, money and grain in Qingzhou. However, Tian Kai was incompetent and failed to achieve this goal from beginning to end, forcing Gongsun Zan to give up.

"General Liu, your current task is to contact the Yellow Turbans of various departments. You have a personal experience of how General Sun treats the people well. Tell them all these things, and then count their population, land, what they have, and what they lack, and make a book one by one. We have ships, which are very convenient for transportation. If someone wants to take revenge and wants to join the army to fight, it is also possible. According to statistics, we will arrange for people to train, and then equipped with armor and weapons to make them do what they want."

Liu Pi nodded repeatedly, smiling. Unlike Ling Cao, Zhang Yun and others who were determined to make achievements, he was tired and farmed in Jiangnan. After a few years of peace, he was no longer used to life with blood licking from a knife. He learned that his task was mainly to farm, so he felt relieved and became energetic.

"Yuan Xi's baggage was destroyed, but he had the support of the Qingzhou family, so it would be quickly supplemented. Yan Liang occupied Fuzeng Mountain. If we forcefully attacked, the losses would be greater. When Yuan Xi arrived, we might not have the strength to fight him. In this case, we might as well stick to Chunyu, Anqiu, and Chang'an counties and wait for him to attack."

Pang Tong paused and looked at the generals. "I know that the men commanded by you are all elite and the training is very hard. But I still want to remind you that soldiers who have not experienced a great war can never become real elites. The opponent in the first battle is very important. The opponent is too weak and there is no pressure. The opponent is too strong and there will be no strength to fight back. The opponent with moderate strength can not only allow the soldiers to truly experience the cruelty of the battlefield, but also allow them to put the skills they train in daily life into practice. After several such wars, the difficulty will be gradually increased and the lessons will be summarized in time to experience the real war. Yuan Xi is the opponent prepared by the general for you. You should make good use of it and never waste it."

Although Shen You and others were a little dissatisfied, they did not refute it. As Pang Tong said, they did want to become famous in one battle, but when they first went on battle, they competed with opponents with more than their own, and various mistakes were inevitable. If they took the initiative to attack Fu Zongshan, casualties would probably not be small, and it would be much better to defend the city. For the first time they went on battle, no one wanted to lose, so it would be good to adapt first.

Pang Tong then explained the entire strategy. Sun Ce attached great importance to Qingzhou. The troops arranged were not only Shen You's way, but also Taishi Ci. Shen You held Yuan Xi to Fu Zong Mountain and forced Taishi Ci to reduce Taishi Ci's resistance, making it easier for him to break into Jinan and the plains, and cut off reinforcements from the direction of Jizhou. Once Taishi Ci succeeded, Yuan Xi would be attacked on both sides and be intercepted from the retreat. Not only could he be defeated, but he might even be wiped out. If it was operated well, he could also complete the task of attacking Qingzhou families, seize their arable land, and facilitate the subsequent military farming.

Although there is land between the hills, the best arable land is still in the western counties and states. Seizing the western part of Qingzhou, attacking the powerful families, regaining the land they have acquired, and scrambling land to accumulate valleys, so that they can maintain control over Youzhou and pose a threat to Jizhou. Without enough food and grass, Gongsun Zan would not be obedient. Sun Ce also had to buy horses from Liaodong. In a chaotic world, grain is the real hard currency. Trading in Qingzhou can reduce the consumption of transportation and reduce costs.

In short, Qingzhou is very important to Sun Ce. It is both a sharp knife inserted into Jizhou and a bridgehead connecting Youzhou. It is precisely because of this that Sun Ce handed over this task to Shen You for execution.

Shen You was very ashamed. After accepting the order, he repeatedly considered it and visited some Qingzhou people to understand the geographical and mountains of Qingzhou. He thought he was well prepared and had a comprehensive grasp of Sun Ce's plan. After listening to the explanations of Pang Tong and others, he realized that this was a very huge plan, not just Qingzhou, but an important part of Sun Ce's conquest of the world.

This is the meaning of Pang Tong to assist him. Pang Tong is not only here to help him out, but also the spokesperson for implementing Sun Ce’s strategy. In terms of his understanding of Sun Ce’s overall strategy, he is no match for Pang Tong. Although Pang Tong is young, he has been fighting with Sun Ce for four or five years. The battle he has experienced makes him far beyond his reach. The reserve in the past two months has no meaning at all. He shows off his skills and makes Pang Tong laugh.

Friend Shen left with a competitive spirit and humbly asked Pang Tong for advice.

Pang Tong was prepared and proposed a set of tactical plans.

Liu Pi garrisoned the troops of Yi'an. Ling Cao went up the Wen River to seize Anchang. Zhang Yun went down the water to seize Xiami. With Tian Kai's instructions first, the commanders of the two counties knew that this was reinforcements, not enemies, and they should not resist. After Ling Cao and Zhang Yun succeeded, they each left a thousand people to defend the city, and then sent people to take over the surrounding counties, and then led their troops to advance to Fuzengshan.

After receiving the news from Ling Cao and Zhang Yun, Yan Baihu stayed in Chunyu, guarded the baggage, and responded in the center. Shen You forced him to the foot of Fu Zong Mountain to confront Yan Liang, restrain Yan Liang's troops, and create opportunities for Tian Kai to break through. Shen You can try attacks, let each unit try his skills, adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and smell the smell of blood. Having twice the advantage of military strength can minimize the danger. Yan Liang is the most good general under Yuan Xi, and is a very good stone. If he can defeat him and control the losses within a certain range, he will be more confident in facing the main force led by Yuan Xi in the future.

Shen You felt it was reasonable and acted according to the plan, and divided the generals.
