Chapter 177 On the eve of the war, Chen Liu expanded his army
【Jian'an 2nd year, mid-June】
[The Yidaizhao incident has passed smoothly, and public opinion is continuing to ferment.]
[Yuan Shao has already taken the blame. If other princes want to join forces with Yuan Shao again, they may have to consider in advance whether their reputation can withstand the loss. ]
[However, you still have to guard against what you need to guard against]
[That guy Fengxiao secretly sent Zhao Xue to Jiangdong to cause trouble... He thought I didn't know, but in fact I had already touched him all over.]
[There are people from Yingzi Ying in Jingzhou who are in charge. It seems that as long as he works on those local wealthy families, Liu Biao will not have the energy to go north]
[Qingzhou Lu Bu... must be an ally... The only thing left is the wavering Hanoi County Zhang Yang. 】
Lu Yan recalled the history. Zhang Yang, the governor of Hanoi County, seemed to have been killed by his own subordinates.
After killing Zhang Yang, they wanted to join Yuan Shao, but Boss Cao took the lead in sending Shi Huan and others, and finally succeeded in taking Hanoi into his pocket. But this was also the trigger for the Battle of Guandu, so if Hanoi County was not forced to do so, it was better not to do so.
It’s better to take action.
[Some ministers from aristocratic families who secretly interacted with Yuan Shao have now restrained themselves a lot, and the internal hidden dangers are gradually being eliminated. 】
[One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the war between Cao and Yuan is bound to break out. Boss Cao is about to face one of the most important turning points in his destiny. 】
[If Liu Biao and Sun Ce didn't come to cause trouble, Lao Cao could at least mobilize about 70,000 troops. But I don't know how much strength Yuan Shao has hidden now. Can he provide 100,000 or 200,000 troops? 】
As he wrote this, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure. Yuan Shao's strength was really too strong.
In the Battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao even defeated Chen Liu.
You know, all Lu Yan's efforts are in Chenliu County, but he can't withstand the torment of those group of soldiers!
[Reincarnation is really a technical job. Think of us... Well, I think Boss Cao had to go through several lives and deaths to finally earn the territory of two and a half states. But after Yuan Shao used a little force to kill Gongsun Zan, he
It covers almost four states, and Jizhou and Youzhou are extremely rich...]
[The people of Jizhou are Yin Sheng, they have abundant military supplies, and the power of the wealthy families has been fully utilized in Yuan Shao's hands... This battle is a bit difficult!]
But it's hard to get back. What's supposed to come will still come, and what's supposed to be fought must still be fought.
If Yuan Shao wants to go south, Cao Cao is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented.
What's more, Cao Cao threw a huge shi basin on Yuan Shao's head. It can be said that the two of them were completely torn apart.
Lu Yan closed the diary and sighed: "I have kept writing diaries every day for so many years, but I still can't see when the end will be..."
Don't think it's just keeping a diary, but persisting every day for several years is actually very difficult.
The most difficult thing is that you can never see the end, just like you can never see the end of the road ahead, and the pressure in your heart will increase with time.
"That's it... habits become natural. As long as I survive the Battle of Guandu and have the support of Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Jia Xu in the future, Boss Cao will never make the mistake of the Battle of Chibi again. In the future, I only need to farm and do business.
Just work on production and stuff, and I’ll have time to write a diary..."
【bite!】
The system's voice sounded in Lu Yan's mind,
[Diary synchronization completed!]
[Judgment of diary content: Grade A, the reward level remains unchanged.]
[Rewards are being generated, please wait...]
[Congratulations to the host for getting "Status Anxiety"*1]
[Identity Anxiety: The author analyzes the root causes of identity anxiety like a cocoon, and explores ways to relieve and release anxiety from various angles such as philosophy, art, politics, and religion. 】
"Stop talking about philosophy with me, okay!!" Lu Yan looked at the "Identity Anxiety" given by the system speechlessly, and twitched the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "The things given by the system are getting more and more outrageous.
..."
But Lu Yan has been really anxious recently.
Mainly because when Yuan Shao went south, Dongjun and Chen Liu were the first to suffer!
His own base camp, the base he established with his own hands, is now about to face the most terrifying force of the Han Dynasty. Anyone else would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yan finally stretched himself and got out of bed.
He rubbed his dry eyes and said to himself:
"The weather is nice today! It's time to go see how Han Sheng's recruits are training."
Chenliu is very likely to become a battlefield, because the defense force must be replenished in advance.
Although Dongjun also faces Yuan Shao directly, it has Yu Jin and Chen Deng, as well as 50,000 troops and horses; Juancheng in the rear also has 20,000 troops, guarded by Cheng Yu and Xu Huang.
Although Chen Liu has generals such as Lu Yan, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shi Ci, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, etc., the regular army has less than 10,000 soldiers. It is outrageous that my mother opened the door for outrageous people, it is outrageous!
What caused this embarrassing situation was that they were allies with Yuan Shao in the past, and Chenliu County was equivalent to the rear area.
But now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are at odds, Chenliu County has changed from the hinterland to the front line.
Although Cao Ren of Yangzhai, Cao Hong of Xuchang, and Li Tong of Wancheng still totaled 30,000 people, they could not divide their forces. After all, there were threats from Liu Biao of Jingzhou and the Yellow Turbans of Runan in the south.
Therefore, in order to deal with the threat from the north, Lu Yan had to start training new recruits on his own again, but this was not the first time he had done this, and he was familiar with it.
When it comes to military expansion, the happiest person is none other than SARS Wei.
This guy got the title Iron Buddha from the Battle of Xuzhou.
However, Lu Yan never assigned soldiers to him after he came back, so he was just a bare commander for a long time. He didn't even have his own military camp, and he always ate, drank and slept in the Beiwei Army camp.
The first thing he did to expand his army was that Lu Yan recruited tall and burly men from all the armies under Cao Cao's rule to strengthen Dian Wei's command, and finally gave him a thousand men. The banner was "Iron Buddha".
But Dianwei's Iron Buddha is not a heavy armored cavalry, but a heavy armored infantry.
It's not that Lu Yan doesn't want to get a heavy armored cavalry, it's mainly because he doesn't have a suitable war horse...
Because the Beiwei army holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, it feels a little out of reach when dealing with cavalry.
Tiefutu gave up the defense in his hands and held a long knife, which could pose a good threat to the cavalry, and his ability to break formations was even better than that of Bei Weijun.
Special arms often require the combination of additional arms to further highlight their power.
Therefore, Tiefutu, Beiwei Army, and the light cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan often perform joint military exercises together.
The Three Kingdoms are good at training elite soldiers, that is, there are many generals of special arms.
Such as Gao Shun's trapped camp, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong, Qu Yi's Xiandenshishi, Zhang He's euphorbia soldiers, Chen Dao's white soldiers, etc., there are countless, but they are good at large-scale training of generals.
But there are only a handful of them.
The one under Cao Cao who is best at large-scale military training is Yu Jin.
But now he is a general in charge of his own duties and cannot be transferred at will like before.
The familiar generals had now become independent figures. Lu Yan had no choice but to let Huang Zhong train the new recruits first.
The recruit camp is not far from the military training camp.
But the scale is larger than any military camp or training camp, because there are a full 30,000 recruits inside!
