The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 943
Using Fusang's army to help them fight the war does not require high military expenditures. As long as they are given sufficient protection, they will not even need a pension if they die in battle.

Zhang Yu didn't feel any guilt in using them to fight.

"Take it as a bad debt to the descendants of another time and space." Zhang Yu thought.

Zhang Yu has already decided to recruit one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Fusang.

If it is useful in the future, Zhang Yu can continue to requisition, after all, there is a large population, reaching tens of millions.

I don’t know the specific population, but Zhang Yu won’t feel bad even if there are no more people to use it.

Moreover, the men have run out, and there are just a few more women who can distribute the daughter-in-law packages.

Zhang Yu didn't discuss these decisions with anyone, and he made the decision after thinking about it in his study.

There is no need to discuss, because there are many things that Zhang Yu can't say openly, anyway, he has the authority, so he just gives orders.

The next day, when Guo Jia came back, Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to come into the study.

In the big study room, Zhang Yu spread out the Huaxia version of the map on the table.

Zhang Yu drew a few times on the map with a slender wooden stick and said: "The territory of China has undergone many changes now, and we have to re-plan."

"My lord, let's re-establish several key points of defense. The Jiangdong area is mainly on the edge of the Yangtze River past Danyang County in the west. Wu County, Kuaiji and other counties can deploy a small number of troops and horses, and no one can invade." Guo Jia said.

Indeed, the Jiangdong area, far away from the enemy, does not need too many troops.

Guo Jia also held a wooden stick, then pointed to the Chaohu area and said: "The main enemy in this area is Sun Ce. We have deployed heavy troops in Hefei City and Chao County to block Sun Ce to the south."

"Jiujiang County, where Chao County is located, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou in the north, can cooperate with Xuzhou."

Guo Jia took a few steps, then pointed at the map and said: "Then the key point and difficulty of defense is in Xuzhou. If Xuzhou is defended, we in Jiangdong will basically not be attacked."

"To defend Xuzhou, Xiapi City is a key point. If we can defend Xiapi City, we will have enough time to react and support. It will be very difficult for the enemy to attack our hinterland."

Guo Jia's strategy is to draw a half circle on the north and west sides of Jiangdong to surround the entire Jiangdong. If it is inside Jiangdong, it will not require much force.

Zhang Yu nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, each of these three places has deployed [-] soldiers, plus some surrounding troops, so Jiangdong can be kept safe."

Soldiers and horses should be used in the most critical places, so that they can be used effectively, and there is no need to raise so many soldiers and horses.

Guo Jia continued: "Xuzhou and Qingzhou are closely connected and can be deployed in coordination. Due to the narrow and long area, we deploy some soldiers and horses along the way. It is enough to deploy 5 people in each city, and we can block the west by deploying four cities. Enemy, some auxiliary soldiers and horses are deployed around each city."

"As for Qingzhou, deploy [-] soldiers and horses in Jinan and Dongguan County, both sides can block the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and Yanzhou, and can threaten them, and then deploy a mobile soldier in Langya, ready to attack the enemy at any time, so It can guarantee the safety of the entire Qingzhou."

Calculated in this way, the fixed soldiers and horses used up 80 people. These are the main battle troops, and they are all deployed with the city defenders and militias. These are not counted for the time being.

As for Youzhou, Xinbeiping and Shenyang City each need to deploy [-] soldiers and horses.

It was originally planned to deploy [-] soldiers and horses, but the Huns were driven away and controlled on the northern grasslands. The enemy could not attack suddenly, and Zhang Yu had enough time to react.

To support the areas around the Mahan Peninsula, Zhang Yu did not plan to deploy the main battle army.

In this way, 90 troops were used, and there were still 45 main battle troops left. Zhang Yu planned to deploy [-] troops in Bohai County and Fanyang County and Dai County in Youzhou.

The latter two counties are just to the north of Jizhou and can threaten the north.

In this way, Zhang Yu was left with an army of 15.

Naturally, this mobile army can be deployed during a war. If a war really starts, there are actually not many troops that Zhang Yu can organize.

Regardless of the direction for the time being, Zhang Yu can use at most 10 soldiers and horses in the garrison, two mobile soldiers and horses, one with 15 soldiers, and one with [-] soldiers.

In other words, if you want to organize more troops to attack one direction, you need to form additional soldiers and horses.

"Oh, this is the disadvantage of the long and narrow land."

Cao Cao's territory is a whole piece, and they can mobilize twice as many troops as Zhang Yu in any direction.

This is an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is obvious, that is, more troops can be concentrated.

The disadvantage is relative. For example, if Zhang Yu is an enemy, Zhang Yu can attack Cao Cao from multiple directions.

Cao Cao can be attacked from different places from the north, south and east at the same time.

"My lord, we are mainly dealing with Cao Cao. Now all four states have contact with Cao Cao, but the only one that has contact with Sun Ce is the Poyang Lake area in Jiangdong." Guo Jia said.

"In this way, our current defense against Cao Cao is very sufficient. If Cao Cao attacks us, we can counterattack in multiple places at the same time, making other places become Cao Cao's rear."

Zhang Yu also understood that there were only two enemies left, one Sun Ce and one Cao Cao, and his defense was no problem.

But if he wanted to attack, Zhang Yu found it very difficult. He concentrated 40 troops, so Cao Cao could concentrate 60 troops.If he concentrates 50, Cao Cao can concentrate 80.

"Headache, do you want to resort to military force and recruit an army of hundreds of thousands again." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia shook his head silently, obviously this idea was not very good.

It is natural to recruit more soldiers and horses, but it is still too much for now.

Such a huge territory requires too many soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu also had a headache looking at it, and then said: "Although we are good soldiers, 30 and 60 will definitely be at a disadvantage. I heard that Cao Cao also formed a [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, and our cavalry advantage has been further weakened."

Zhang Yu continued: "We still need to form Fuso's army. First organize 10 people. At least the military expenses will be cheaper."

With an army of more than 100 million, hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops are needed to defend the city. Not counting the militia, it is already a big burden.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, many of Cao Cao's troops are not elite soldiers. Although he also took the route of elite soldiers, his expansion was too fast, and many of them surrendered. Our advantage is still obvious."

The advantages are obvious, but Zhang Yu still finds it very difficult to expand.

The problem is that Zhang Yu can't take his time now. He can't afford to be slow. If they are unified more than ten years later, the Roman Empire may come over.

Now that the Roman Empire has been in constant contact with the Huaxia region, they already know that there used to be a powerful empire here, and they also know that there is a very good land here.
