"The newly expanded army may not have enough combat power, but if it is only used to assist our army in defending the city, it will be more than enough!" After thinking carefully, Li Xiang finally decided to expand the army. Otherwise, Hulao Pass would be too dangerous.
Already.
"Instruct Xun Yu and Guan Zhong to immediately increase their troops by 80,000. Mengjin, Xuanyuan, and Guangcheng Pass will each increase their troops by 10,000, and Hulao Pass will increase their troops by 50,000!" Li Xiang said unhurriedly.
In Li Xiang's mind, after this battle, the 80,000 new troops may suffer heavy losses and huge casualties, but as long as it can buy him time to capture Yongliang, it will be worth it.
Moreover, in Li Xiang's view, after such a battle, those new soldiers will definitely get a huge training even if they only participate in defending the city. By then, those who can survive this battle will quickly transform into an elite force.
In this way, even some sacrifices are valuable.
"In addition, try your best to gather as many strong prisoners as possible from all over Jiangsi and Bing to form a death squad. Our army has stayed under Tongguan for long enough!" Li Xiang said again.
With the participation of Cao, Yuan, Liu, and Gongsun in the battle, Li Xiang became more urgent and began to prepare to take action against Tongguan.
However, if he forcibly tackled the problem, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, Li Xiang started fighting and challenged the ideas of the prisoners in the prisons in the two places.
When the time comes, a war team will be sent to supervise the battle in the rear, and the prisoners will be given some sweet benefits such as pardon and even bounty. It is inevitable that these prisoners will not work hard.
Especially those on death row. They are about to die. If they fight hard, they may still have a chance to survive.
"My lord, I heard that the Wu culture among the Sui army was not really loyal to Yang Jian at first, and Yang Jian was also wary of him! We may use the alienation strategy to make the Sui army cut off his arm." Waiting for Li Xiang.
After issuing various orders, Liu Bowen slowly expressed some of his thoughts.
After all, their top priority now is to capture Yongliang as soon as possible. As long as Yongliang is conquered, the four princes of Cao, Yuan, Liu, and Gongsun will naturally retreat.
"Separation?" Li Xiang thought carefully for a while before he said, "With Yang Jian's city, I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to fall into this trap!"
"I don't know what the military advisor thinks, just tell me!" Li Xiang continued.
Li Xiang believed that with Liu Bowen's ability, since he proposed this method of alienation, he would not have thought that this method would not be easy to work on Yang Jian. And since Liu Bowen had already proposed it, there would naturally be other methods.
"Ding, Liu Bowen's magical skill is activated.
Divine Plan: This is the unique skill of Liu Bowen, the military counselor of the later dynasty. When he and Zhuge Liang, the army of the former dynasty, plan together, the combination skill of the military counselor of the later dynasty will be triggered.
Effect 1: When calculating others, if the other party's intelligence is lower than your own, you can reduce the other party's intelligence by 1 to 5 points; if the other party's intelligence is equal to your own, you can reduce the other party's intelligence by 1 to 3 points; if the other party's intelligence is higher than your own,
, can reduce the opponent's intelligence by 1 point.
Effect 2: When serving as a strategist, if your general's intelligence is lower than your own, your commander's command will increase by 1 to 4 points; if your own general's commander is equal to your own intelligence, your commander's command will increase by 1 to 2 points; if your own general's commander is higher than your own, your commander's command will increase by 1 to 2 points.
If the intelligence of the commander is increased by 1 point;
Effect 3: When making suggestions, your intelligence value will be increased by 1 to 3 points;
Effect 4: If the opponent's general's command is lower than his or her own intelligence without any mental arithmetic, the command value of the opponent will be suppressed.
Effect 5. If the opponent's general is affected by Effect 4 multiple times, there is a certain chance that one of the opponent's attributes will be permanently reduced.
Note: The lower the enemy's command value in Effect 5, the easier it is to activate, and the permanently reduced effect prioritizes command and intelligence."
It has to be said that Liu Bowen's skill is indeed strong enough. Although Liu Bowen's divine machine skill is not as comprehensive as Wang Meng's Wang Fu skill, it can increase political, intellectual, and commanding aspects.
However, Liu Bowen's divine machine skill is unique in terms of intelligence. While increasing his own intelligence, he can also reduce the opponent's intelligence.
At the same time, in addition to increasing the command of one's own general, this skill may also suppress the enemy's general's command. It may even be able to permanently reduce the opponent's attributes if Liu Bowen has calculated too much.
.
The only fly in the ointment is that with Liu Bowen's basic intelligence level of 101, Liu Bowen's skill is not enough when facing opponents whose intelligence or command exceeds 101, and its effect will be weakened to a minimum.
"Ding, the third effect of Liu Bowen's magic skill is activated, which increases his own intelligence value by 2 points. The basic intelligence is 101. Liu Bowen's current intelligence rises to 103."
"My lord, now Yang Jian is still sitting in Chang'an with peace of mind. It may not be because our army has not really started to attack Tongguan yet. As soon as the prisoners from various places arrive, our army can launch a fierce attack. By then, Yang Jian will personally go to the front line of Tongguan and leave his eldest son Yang Yong behind.
Guard Chang'an.
And I heard that Dong Zhuo's family was now in Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo's family was still young during this period..." Liu Bowen told Li Xiang his plan in detail.
"Ding, once the effect of Liu Bowen's magic skill is activated, Yang Yong's intelligence value will be reduced by 4 points. Yang Yong's current intelligence has dropped to..."
It is indeed difficult to succeed if you use counter-intentional tactics against Yang Jian, but in Liu Bowen's plan, this counter-intuitive plan bypassed Yang Jian and Wu Wenhua, and designed Yang Yong to attack Dong Zhuo's family, and then forced Wu Wenhua and Yang Jian
Turn against.
And if this countermeasure is implemented against Yang Yong, the success rate is much higher than if it is implemented directly against Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's method of forcing Wu Wenhua to surrender was originally disgraceful, so that he has not fully and truly regained Wu Wenhua's heart. If something happened to Dong Zhuo's family, how could Wu Wenhua continue to work for Yang Jian.
"My lord, perhaps we can also bring His Majesty the Emperor who is far away in Chang'an into this matter. In this way, the things Yang Yong will face will be bigger, more difficult, and more urgent! By then, Yang Yong will be more likely to make mistakes in a hurry.
, our army’s plan will be more likely to succeed." Liu Bowen continued to speak slowly.
When Liu Bowen thought about it, if Yang Yong discovered that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was involved in this matter, he would only think that the Dong family and the emperor had joined forces to deal with Yang Jian, and would find out that they were secretly carrying out counterinsurgency operations.
The possibility of calculation is even lower.
However, the little emperor's position would be awkward. However, it had nothing to do with Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen's allegiance was never to the Han Dynasty. He did not care whether the emperor was dead or alive, or whether the future would be easy or not.
