It is said that the fourth generation with a more diluted bloodline will join the sale of high-end horses. Ordinary people can also buy them with coins, but they need to make a reservation in advance...

Well, if Sima Yi had lived in later generations, he would definitely be familiar with this set of procedures.

If Cao Cao knew that Fei Qian sent troops to attack Jingzhou because there were so many more war horses at one time, it was difficult to raise them and he had to digest some, how would he feel?

"So, the Hussars used less than 100,000 horses..." Sima Hui gestured at the map, "It stabilized the place...even..."

Sima Hui swallowed his saliva and did not say the rest of the words.

If he hadn't calculated carefully, Sima Hui even thought that there should be at least 100,000, not to mention 150,000 troops under the Qiushui cavalry, so that they could almost achieve a suppressive victory from south to north and from east to west. However, in

After checking with Sima Yi, who knew the specific situation better, he discovered that in fact, there were not many soldiers and horses under the hussars, and this still included those retired soldiers. If the retired patrol veterans were removed, then

More than 70,000 and less than 80,000.

Among these 70,000 to 80,000, not all are cavalry. The cavalry and infantry are roughly divided into 60 and 40 parts. The vast and open terrain in the northern part of Guanzhong has more cavalry, while the areas in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are dominated by infantry.

Of course, the way Fei Qian calculates the number of soldiers is different from that of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others. Most of the soldiers under Fei Qian can be regarded as elite soldiers, such as soldiers in the field. Fei Qian basically does not have them and cannot count them.

Within the army of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, there were many low-level arms such as field soldiers, and the number naturally seemed to be very large.

Most wars are unlikely to involve an overwhelming force. Although the refueling tactic has been criticized by military strategists, in reality there is a time lag between the defenders from various places arriving at the location of the war, so it has become a common form.

.

Just like the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao mobilized more than 100,000 manpower. If the civilian men recruited are included, then the number is close to 150,000, and Cao Cao also mobilized about 20,000 soldiers.

After a head-on confrontation, the number of soldiers was increased again, and Cao's army finally reached more than 30,000 troops. In the end, judging from the results of the entire battle, the actual fighting area between the two sides remained at about 10,000...

In other words, although Yuan Shao has many troops, his efficiency is low, just like the CPU of later generations. If he runs some poorly optimized programs, regardless of whether it is equipped with eight cores or twelve cores, all living beings are equal and there is only one core.

Working hard, the rest of the core stood back and watched the show.

Now Cao Cao has also fallen into this kind of "all beings are equal". Cao Cao's total military strength far exceeds Fei Qian's. Even if we exclude the field soldiers who can only be used to fill the numbers, Cao Cao's army still has 30,000 to 40,000 troops in Jizhou, distributed

Among the various key points and townships in Jizhou, there are still about 10,000 soldiers in the Yijing and Yuyang areas of Youzhou. If we add in the Taishan soldiers under Zang Ba in Qingzhou and the Xuzhou soldiers under the control of the Chen family in Xuzhou,

…

Theoretically, if Cao Cao squeezed hard enough, he would still be able to gather a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

Is it just a difference between theory and practice? It's like the ridiculous mileage. It looks beautiful, but in fact it's absolutely impossible to drive on real roads.

Cao Cao's 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers in Jizhou are all elite soldiers. These soldiers have experienced the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and they also have certain combat experience. They can indeed be used directly. But the question is whether Taihang Mountain should be defended? Even if it is not defended, Shangdang Taiyuan

, should we beware of the local gentry in Jizhou and these original soldiers of the Yuan family colluding with each other to engage in small tricks, or even rebellion?

You know, Yanzhou has learned from past mistakes!

How long has it been since the Qinghe County magistrate incident?

Similarly, it is basically difficult for Cao Cao to mobilize the Taishan Army and Xuzhou Army.

After all the white and black stones were laid out, looking at the map of Jingzhou with obviously more black stones, Sima Hui nodded, shook his head again, and sighed, "This long battle has made the people of Jingzhou suffer a lot..."

Sima Yi held a different opinion, "My nephew thinks that this battle will not last long..."

"What?" Sima Hui asked.

"Although Cao's army has many soldiers, it also consumes a lot of money..." Sima Yi smiled and clicked on the map, "If my nephew's prediction is correct, now Cao's army... Haha, I'm afraid I don't have much savings... Cao's army takes Wan."

If the city cannot be captured, it means that it is missing... The hussars are marching out, but they are stuck on the key point... In this black and white calamity battle, although there are many black ones, they are in a stupid shape, while although the white ones are few, their shapes are smart, and in the end, white ones are
