Chapter 867: A replica of the Battle of Qin Zhao Changping
Jia Xu obviously didn't answer the question, but Guo Jia and Lu Su both looked understanding. Although they didn't know the content of Xun Chen's letter, they all had their own expectations.
"What do you want?" Liu Bei asked in confusion.
"We still have the energy to spare, but with Xiaozhi taking action, even if the other party still has the food routes to Qinghe and Bohai, they will not delay it any longer, and this will be our opportunity to end Hebei. It must not be like what Zichuan said
That gives the other side a chance to make a desperate counterattack!" Guo Jia shook his head and said.
"Actually, I have always been curious about who Zichuan's secret agent is on Yuan Shao's side. Sometimes the news passed by Zichuan is a bit too high-level, although this kind of news loses its value when it is passed on." Lu Su was curious.
Asking, just like Xun Chen's letter this time, only giving the letter but not the content.
"Some information can only be accessed by those people. Just think about it." Jia Xu said casually, "But I don't like this kind of people."
Liu Bei was speechless. It was really a miracle that Jia Xu would clearly state that he didn't like someone.
Guo Jia turned his head and couldn't help but think that he could guess who was Chen Xi's secret agent.
"My lord, please inform all the generals. I am afraid that the decisive battle between us and Yuan Shao will begin soon!" Lu Su said. He has now adapted to the battlefield. As for why he needs to inform this, it is like
Like Chen Xi’s hidden line, some things are unavoidable.
After Jia Xu and the three men gave a unified answer, Liu Bei became confident and immediately issued new orders to prepare for the final stage of the battle at any time.
After Lu Su and the others came out of the military tent, Guo Jia immediately looked at Jia Xufa and asked, "Wen He, why do you have to propose this plan now? If something goes wrong by then. If you make one wrong step, we will probably be rushed.
There’s no rush.”
"You crow's mouth, don't say such things to yourself, doesn't Zijing know?" Jia Xu's whole body went cold when he heard Guo Jia's words. His biggest headache now is Guo Jia's spiritual talent, which is activated unconsciously, and as long as he talks
It is possible to involve them all, and the effect is amazing.
"That's what I mean too." Lu Su glanced at Guo Jia helplessly and then said what he wanted to say on Guo Jia's behalf. Speaking of which, Lu Su also thought that Jia Xu's words were reasonable. Guo Jia had better not say bad things.
What if the spiritual talent effect is activated?
"Do you still remember how many troops we sent when we first arrived at Mount Tai?" Jia Xu asked with a calm face.
"There are almost 150,000 troops." Lu Su replied puzzledly, but Guo Jia's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he immediately understood what Jia Xu meant. Compared with Lu Su, a character who tends to be all-powerful,
Guo Jia's talents are all in military strategy planning.
"How many are there now?" Jia Xu continued to ask.
"So far, more than 7,000 people have been killed in the battle, and more than 10,000 people are considered to have no combat effectiveness. We still have 130,000 troops." Lu Su replied with a dull expression before he could react.
Jia Xu has a feeling right now. When talking to Chen Xi and Lu Su, the other party can't keep up with the rhythm. Then he jumps to an unknown corner!
"Zijing, Wenhe means how many people we still have here. It means how many soldiers and horses we can really mobilize." Guo Jia answered this question on behalf of Lu Su.
"Yes, we had fifteen armies at the beginning. But the troops used to protect the rear accounted for 30%. Later, as we continued to win and pushed the front line here, the defense lines we needed to protect were also constantly changing.
Long, while Yuan Shao's defense and supply lines are constantly getting shorter!" Jia Xu nodded and took over Guo Jia's words.
"We have now invested 50% of our troops to protect the supply lines and strategic points behind us. Coupled with the battle losses, in fact, we can only directly mobilize more than 50,000 troops now!" Lu Su suddenly realized that these things he
I was also concerned about it, but I didn't express it as obviously as Jia Xu.
"One goes with the other, our supply lines and defensive points are constantly lengthening and increasing, while Yuan Shao's supply lines and defensive points are constantly shortening and decreasing, and he can free up more and more troops. The original army of 200,000 has been gradually reduced.
With the continuous recruitment, I am afraid that now I have freed up 140,000 to 50,000 yuan." Guo Jia said with a solemn expression, this is basically a copy of Lian Po's version of Qin Zhao Changping.
"So even if we procrastinate any longer, even if we win, it will be no different from the Qin State that procrastinated for three years in Changping. Our energy is not wasted on Yuan Shao. We would rather have a short-term pain than spend it continuously like this.
Go down." Jia Xu raised his index finger and said resolutely.
Although it was only delayed for a month and had little impact on Taishan Qingxu's overall economy and farming, Jia Xu had already noticed at the first time the huge impact it would have on Liu Beijun if this continued.
Just like back then, although the national strength of the Zhao State was not as good as the Qin State, it relied on Lian Po to shorten the supply line and lengthen the Qin State's supply line, dragging it to the point where the Qin State was almost exhausted. Of course, the Zhao State itself was basically already at that time
There's nothing left to breathe, but dragging it on will definitely hurt both sides.
Although the time was not too long, Jia Xu estimated that Yuan Shaojun on the opposite side had not noticed this yet, but based on Jia Xu's understanding of the group of people on the opposite side, I am afraid that if it continues to delay, that group of people, especially those who are particularly good at playing steadily,
Tian Feng, who had killed his enemies, would definitely notice this aspect.
"Does that mean we have to fight?" Lu Su frowned and said, and motioned to Guo Jia, who was silent beside him, to say a few words.
Although what Jia Xu said is very good, Lu Su is not an idiot. It is obvious that he has not reached the level that Jia Xu said. On the contrary, if he tries it now, it may not work. The necessary condition for the decisive battle to start is that one side has
There was an opportunity for victory, and the other side had to fight, and to be honest now, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's tentative attacks were not over yet.
"No, it's not that we have to fight, but after missing this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again." Guo Jia, who had been silent all the time, slowly said, "Because we will no longer be able to attack arbitrarily. Xiaozhi appears here.
Jizhou also means that Cao Cao is approaching the limit of endurance."
"Our war with Yuan Shao must have a winner or loser before the first emperor's mediation, and you probably all understand what I mean by victory or defeat." Jia Xu said extremely calmly.
"Once we don't decide the winner or loser at the emperor's first mediation, I'm afraid it will really become a protracted waste!" Guo Jia thought for a while and said. (To be continued...)
