The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 973 Preparations are complete, mobilize troops and horses

In spring, half of the cold air has been driven out in many places.

People survived the cold and began to slowly become active again.

From Youzhou to Jiangdong, in a large area, garrisons from all over the country are training.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are training, which is a very large operation.

This spring training is a signal, a signal that the war is about to start.

Cao Cao's troops were also mobilized frequently.

Zhang Yu ended his lingering with his family and began to appear in the cabinet more often. In the past, Zhang Yu didn't come every two or three days, but now he must come every day.

Zhang Yu was permanently stationed in Beiping, and his family members took over and established his harem behind the City Lord's Mansion.

On this day, the cabinet members were all there, and Zhang Zhao and Jushou also came back.

"Okay, everyone is here, Zibu will report the situation in Jiangdong first."

Zhang Zhao began to report to the cabinet and Zhang Yu. It was relatively smooth for him to take care of Jiangdong's affairs. After all, he used to take care of a lot of things and it was easy to get started.

Then there was Ju Shou's work report, and Ju Shou also reported on the situation in Xuzhou.

It is more difficult to carry out work in Xuzhou, mainly because it was won later, and there are many flaws in the staffing.

Then came Chen Gong's report.

"Gongtai, your responsibility is particularly heavy. Not only must the Beiping Academy in New Peiping start recruiting students normally within this year, but this year's imperial examination must not be delayed due to other things." Zhang Yu said to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong had a lot of things to do, but he also had a lot of people under his command. He controlled from a strategic height and personally took care of the progress of things.

In addition, Chen Gong intends to train his graduate students, let them be his assistants, and help him grasp one aspect, so although Chen Gong is busy, the progress of various affairs is still ok.

"My lord, the examination room is divided into three places, Wangcheng in Jiangdong, Linzi City in Qingzhou, Xuzhou can choose one of these two places, they are relatively close, and there is also Beiping City, so the pressure of the three places will not be so great , Can divert candidates."

"The announcement has been sent out, and the students have several months to prepare."

"In addition, the time for the preliminary examination has also been arranged. The time from the preliminary examination to the examination time will be once a month, so that different places can have time."

There were too many candidates last time, so Zhang Yu and the others added a preliminary test this time. Only after the preliminary test can they take the regular test.

It took Zhang Yu three days to resolve all other issues, and then Zhang Yu said: "Next, we will focus on discussing the next battle."

"The army can already be mobilized, and the food and grass must also keep up." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia got up and reported: "Master, we have prepared 50 people in the direction of Youzhou, plus 20 Fusang troops. Whether it is to interfere with Cao Cao or attack Jizhou, there is no problem."

Guo Jia reported in detail the preparations of the army, and there are many contingency plans, where they can be transferred at critical times, etc.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Alright, let's divide up and start preparing for the resolution formed by the meeting."

The five-day cabinet meeting ended. Everyone received a lot of tasks and arranged and supervised them individually. The efficiency was very high.

Zhang Yu mainly grasped the army.

Northern Dianwei, Taishici, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao, the four generals, are already training the army at the front line, and once the battle starts, they can rush to the battlefield immediately.

Cao Cao felt that the pressure was particularly great. Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops were on the border, and it was clear that he wanted to interfere with his actions at any time.

Cao Cao didn't seem to have much choice for a while.

Both sides are competing.

Cao Cao has also been paying attention to his own preparations, but he is a very busy person, unlike Zhang Yu, who has seven highly capable people to form a cabinet, forming an efficient group, Zhang Yu can spare time to take care of his wives and children .

It has to be said that Zhang Yu's care is in place, Zhen Mi, Xiao Qiao are also pregnant.

Cao Cao was ready and called several of his advisers.

"Everything is ready. Our goal this time is very clear, to defeat the Yuan family and occupy Jizhou." Cao Cao said.

For more than half a year, Cao Cao trained soldiers and horses, integrated hundreds of thousands of troops, and greatly increased his combat power.

"The army is mobilized, and the attack will be launched in a month, and it cannot be delayed any longer."

Cao Cao really couldn't afford it. The Yuan family still had one and a half prefectures, one half Ji prefecture, and one Bing prefecture. Given time, they would be able to equip hundreds of thousands of troops, and it would be difficult.

And with Zhang Yu there, it would be very troublesome not to get rid of the Yuan family.

"My lord, we are indeed ready. Zhang Yu may have noticed it, and we are ready. We must block Zhang Yu and take down the Yuan family. My subordinates suggest that we send people to guard Yecheng and give up the northern part of Jizhou Zhang Yu, let's move quickly from the south," Man Pang suggested.

Cao Cao nodded, then glanced around and continued to ask: "Is there any specific way?"

Cheng Yu stood up and said: "My lord, we will advance in three directions, from Shangdang County, Guangping County, and attack to the northwest. This Shangdang County will be divided into two troops to occupy other surrounding areas."

This is a very bold idea. Shangdang County is already in Bingzhou, and they attacked Bingzhou and Jizhou at the same time.

This requires most of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to go out.

This time Cao Cao prepared 85 troops.

He has a total of more than 140 troops. As long as he defends a few directions and a whole piece of land, it is very safe to put hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Okay, immediately mobilize the army, mobilize the food and grass, and transport the food and grass to the front line first." Cao Cao said.

"In addition, order Cao Ren to step up defense, immediately strengthen the city's defenses, and hoard food and grass. This city of Ye must be prepared according to the standard of being besieged for two years."

The siege will not break through for two years, so how much food and grass must be prepared.

But Cao Cao wanted to prepare in this way. With Yecheng, he could control a large area, and his actions would be guaranteed.

Cao Cao began to mobilize troops, horses, food and grass. This cannot be concealed from others, and the action is too big to be concealed.

A few days later, Zhang Yu received the information and immediately called a cabinet meeting.

"Cao Cao's target has been determined to be Jizhou. Although there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, many of them were recruited in the past six months. Some veterans were recruited in a hurry before, and their combat effectiveness is not strong."

"Jizhou no longer has any famous generals, nor does it have a large number of veterans. The quality is not high, and it will definitely not be able to stop Cao Cao."

"Our target is also Jizhou. Among them, the northern part of Anping County, Zhongshan County, and Changshan County are our targets. As for Yanmenguan County, depending on the specific situation, our army may not be enough to spread out the shop."

Zhang Yu explained his overall goal, and they had to plan the rest in detail.

Zhang Yu's army is not enough, and many troops are needed to defend these places. I am afraid that Cao Cao and the others understand this, so they choose to attack and choose to divide Jizhou with Zhang Yu. Anyway, they will occupy more places in the end.
