National Awakening: I Have 100 Talents

The chaos has begun,

Cao Cao, who originally ran from Luoyang, had no territory,

Just a little lieutenant.

Because of the army against the Dong bandits,

Only then temporarily occupied a small county town of Chenliu as a place to garrison troops.

Cao Cao has already realized that the troubled times have begun,

The emperor can't control it, so he can do whatever he wants, and divide the world if he has the power.

Cao Cao directly sent troops to capture Xuchang, a large city controlled by Han officials.

In this way,

Cao Cao's camp also has a complete county-

Yingchuan County (including Xuchang + Chenliu).

And Yuan Shao also sent troops from Bohai to attack Anping County,

These fast-moving princes will quickly grow in power,

Unresponsive, or princes who are content with the status quo,

The fate of the future will either be annexed or wiped out.

Now,

Whether it is camp requirements must be based within one month,

Still under the pressure of the world situation,

Li Tianyi must quickly find a city to capture and establish his own base.

otherwise,

Once the forces of all parties quickly become stronger,

The existential threat to him would be great.

Li Tianyi summoned two great advisers,

To see what they think, ask:

"I want to capture a city as the base of our army. Which city do you two gentlemen think I should attack?"

Tian Feng and Jia Xu had already thought about this question in private.

As a strategist of Li Tianyi's camp, it is natural to consider various development factors for his own camp.

Tian Feng analyzed:

"The army in the north is full of fine food, and our army has only 100,000 soldiers.

And most of them are foreign soldiers who have low loyalty and are easy to flee when the situation is not good.

Siege warfare is very difficult, and the only real army that can fight is defense.

Even if the hero is brave and invincible, it is difficult to lead troops to capture the strong city.

The subordinates believed that the lord should go to the south and attack the weaker county guards.

For example, Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, has only 50,000 soldiers.

The lord's prestige is now well known in the world, if the lord leads an army to the next stop in the city,

Then Liu Du will definitely surrender without fighting. "

Jia Xu shook his head and said:

"The south is dying, what's the use of a small town in a poor mountain?

If our army wants to survive in this troubled world, we must strive for the upper reaches and seize the fertile land as the foundation to`||.

Jia Xu said it well,

During the Three Kingdoms period, the temperature was hot,

The flow of the Yellow River is greater than that of the Yangtze River,

The river has a large flow, which means convenient transportation,

A well-developed transportation means a well-developed economy.

Therefore, the entire Central Plains region, during the Three Kingdoms period, was the most fertile place on both sides of the Yellow River.

This is why Chang'an and Luoyang, the two capitals of the Han Dynasty, are both cities on the banks of the Yellow River.

During this period, the south is hot and dry, and there are many miasma and mosquitoes, which is not conducive to survival at all.

Lingling is very close to the south, not even next to the Yangtze River,

Not only poor, but also a small population.

Such a city has a very low initial development rate,

Both money income and grain power income are very low, which does not help much in the development and growth of the camp.

obviously,

Jia Xu's answer satisfied Li Tianyi even more,

Just ask:

"Which camp and city in the north do you think I should attack?"

Jia Xu said:

"Qingzhou Army, Pingyuan City!"

Li Tianyi was overjoyed that Jia Xu wanted to go with him.

The first city Li Tianyi planned to attack was Pingyuan City.

It was also the first city he stayed in after he came to the Three Kingdoms.

Tian Feng was startled, and hurriedly persuaded:

"No! My lord, this county is next to Yuan Shao Bohai County,

Based on the enmity between the lord and Yuan Shao, once we establish a basis here,

Yuan Shao will come to attack, Yuan Shao's army is strong and food is sufficient, our army will be hard to resist. "

Jia Xu said:

"Yuan Hao, don't panic, Yuan Shao is currently attacking Anping County.

The prefect of Anping and the prefect of Zhongshan County are close friends.

If Anping is in trouble, Zhongshan must send troops to rescue the siege,

Although Yuan Shao is strong, it is difficult for him to get away from these two counties for a while, and he has no time to take care of our army. "

Tian Feng said:

"But even so, even if our army captures the plain, it will be difficult to defend after Su Shao escapes."

Jia Xu explained:

"Plain is a salt county with a lot of economic income.

It is the richest county in the Qingzhou army camp. If our army can capture it,

Using powerful wealth, you can attract more soldiers to join.

And Huang Shao is the remnant party of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, surrounded by Chu Ge,

Our army attacked Huang Shao, and Huang Shao was isolated and helpless, so our army had no worries. "

Li Tianyi nodded, appreciating Jia Xu's analysis.

Indeed, if Li Tianyi attacks other princes,

Maybe if someone gives some benefits, they can recruit the nearby princes to form a coalition army to help encircle and suppress Li Tianyi.

And once the coalition is formed, if there are counties adjacent to each other,

The buffs between counties are superimposed, which will be quite tricky.

But Huang Shao's Qingzhou army is different, they are an uprising army,

The surrounding princes are hostile to them,

If Li Tianyi fights against the Yellow Turbans, there will be absolutely no support from other forces.

Tian Feng said:

"This strategy is somewhat risky, and I think the Lord should still act steadily."

Obviously Tian Feng is a relatively conservative strategist,

The kind that doesn't want to take risks.

But Jia Xu is obviously bolder, more radical in terms of general policy and strategy.

certainly,

In fact, Li Tianyi already had his own firm idea in mind,

The Qingzhou Army is determined.

Ask them also to see their opinion,

If he strongly opposes both, Li Tianyi will think carefully.

After all, he has never fought a war, never developed power,

I don't know if there is anything wrong with my own thinking.

It is always good to say it out and verify it in multiple ways.

With Jia Xu's support, Li Tianyi resolutely decided to attack Pingyuan City.

With a plan in place, Li Tianyi led the counselors and generals to ride fast horses to investigate the terrain around the two cities and the city defense information.

In the whole plain county, there are two cities,

One is "`~Plain Main City" and the other is "Leling Yan County".

There are 200,000 defenders in the main city of Pingyuan, and 80,000 defenders in Leling.

Plain City buff+30% defender strength and shield value,

Leling buff + 15% defender strength and shield value.

If you attack the plains directly,

It is very difficult to capture the occupied area from the resistance of the 200,000 buff defenders. (Li Wangzhao) And, once the war starts,

The defenders in Leling, a hundred kilometers away, will come to support within two or three hours.

If you can't hit the plains at this time, you will end up being attacked from both sides.

And if they attack Leling, the defenders of Pingyuan City will also come to support them.

And within 5 hours, reinforcements from the other two counties of the Qingzhou Army will arrive one after another across the Yellow River.

Only with the 15% buff of Leling,

It may be very difficult to defend Leling under the siege of the three armies.

"What are the two gentlemen's good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Li Tianyi asked.

Jia Xu said:

"The small county of Leling is not enough to defend, and the 200,000 troops in the plains are for fierce tigers and cannot be attacked by force.

It can be broken by using the strategy of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain. "

Li Tianyi Yixi:

"Please tell me the details, sir!"

Jia Xu explained the tactics in detail,

Li Tianyi was overjoyed after hearing this:

"Okay, let's do it like this! Go spread the rumors first, and as soon as Lu Bu arrives, our army will immediately attack and attack the plain."
