As soon as he slapped the case and drank, the frightening murderous intention ignited like fire.
Xu You's heart was slightly shaken. He knew that a war would soon begin again.
"Zhou Yu has nearly 20,000 troops under his command. After Liu Bei left Guan Yu to guard Xuzhou, there will be at least nearly 20,000. In addition to the troops left behind to guard Xuzhou, Guan Yu can send at least 10,000 reinforcements to Huainan. In this way, the enemy troops in Huainan will be able to
It reaches about 30,000."
Xu You is worthy of being the director of the intelligence network, and he knows Zhou Yu and Guan Yu's military strength very well.
"If our army wants to capture Huainan, it will have to use at least twice as many troops, that is, 60,000. This means that we will have to recruit at least 70,000 to 80,000 civilians for this campaign. Now that the autumn harvest is around the corner, we will have to rest from the war.
If Yangzhou has to spare 80,000 young men, it will probably have a big impact on the autumn harvest."
Xu You raised his concerns, and this concern should not be ignored by Yan Liang.
The protracted Ping-Wu War had already consumed most of the grain and grass stocks. The quality of this year's autumn harvest would directly determine the intensity of Yan Liang's military deployment in the coming year, so he had to take this into consideration.
"What Ziyuan said makes sense." Yan Liang nodded slightly, frowning in thought.
The autumn harvest cannot be affected, but Guan Yu is about to send reinforcements to Huainan, and Yan Liang cannot sit back and watch as his two families join forces to build a good defense line and wait for Yan Liang to attack.
At this time, the pro-army troops came to report that Pang Tong had arrived.
Yan Liang became energetic and asked Pang Tong to come in.
Not a moment later, Pang Tong came in to meet him, and Yan Liang sent Xu Youdao to Pang Tong with the information about Zhou and Liu's alliance.
Pang Tong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
This unattractive plotter walked to the map hanging on the wall, raised his head and stared at the vast world, thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.
Yan Liang's eyes also wandered between Xu Yang, and his mind, which was not inferior at all, was also spinning rapidly.
Moreover, Yan Liang's vision is even broader.
Suddenly, his eyes moved, as if he thought of something, and a trace of unnoticeable excitement flashed across his face.
At the same time, Pang Tong also smiled, seeming to have a solution.
"Zhou Yu is a man with a distinguished family background and has always been arrogant. But Guan Yu, although he has ten thousand enemies, is also arrogant and despises the scholar-bureaucrats in particular. My lord, think about it, if these two arrogant people join forces, will they be monolithic?"
Pang Tong gently stroked his short beard and raised a strange smile on his lips.
Yan Liang's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. Pang Tong's words reminded Yan Liang.
In history, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou for Liu Bei. Isn't it because he despised his officials, which made everyone resentful? When the army of Soochow came, all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou looked forward to the wind, so they easily lost Jingzhou?
Zhou Yu asked Liu Bei for help instead of surrendering, which proves that Zhou Yu still wanted to occupy Huainan and was not really willing to obey Liu Bei's orders.
As for Guan Yu, he was extremely aloof. Since he wanted to aid Zhou Yu, he probably thought that he was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
These two arrogant people will inevitably be suspicious of each other for leadership. At that time, it is the opportunity for Yan Liang to profit from it.
"I understand, it is right for Zhou Yu to ask for help from Liu Bei, but it is a pity that Liu Bei and Guan Yu have hired the wrong people. The Zhou and Liu coalition forces are not afraid. Guan Yu wants to come and mix things up, so let him come as soon as possible. Gu will just take them all together."
Cleaned up."
Yan Liang's tone was full of confidence.
At this time, Pang Tong smiled lightly and said: "Tong thought that we could first send more than a thousand divine cavalry to the north, and use the mobility advantage of the cavalry to harass Hefei. In this way, the enemy can be exhausted without affecting the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest is over,
, and it won’t be too late for the army to move north.”
Harassment with Qingqi...
Pang Tong's words reminded Yan Liang.
Since the conquest of Wu, Yan Liang has been engaged in water warfare most of the time. His tens of millions of elite cavalry have not been put to use for a long time.
Although the number of Yan Liang's cavalry is not as good as that of Cao Cao, it is better than Liu Bei in terms of quantity and quality, let alone Zhou Yu who does not even have cavalry.
"Well, what Shi Yuan said makes sense, Ziyuan, I wonder how many cavalry there are in Lujiang County now?" Yan Liang turned his eyes to Xu You.
Xu You counted with his fingers and replied: "Ruxukou has about 1,500 Qingqi under his command, commanded by Zhang Wenyuan."
Zhang Liao, in the past, wasn't Hefei the place where he became famous all over the world?
"Okay, I will pass on Gu's military order and order Wen Yuan to lead 1,500 light cavalry to the north to harass Gu's enemies in Huainan!" Yan Liang shouted with authority and issued the military order.
The general's order has been issued, and the military meeting for the day has ended.
While ordering Zhang Liao to lead his light cavalry to the north, Yan Liang also ordered soldiers and horses from Jingyang and Yangzhou to gather more quickly towards the front line of the Lujiang River.
After the military discussion was over, Yan Liang returned to the Houfu with a strategy in mind.
At this time, Yan Liang actually had a brand new strategy in his mind, but he decided not to share it with Pang Tong and other advisers before he could perfect it.
With his thoughts in mind, when Yan Liang entered the backyard, he raised his head and bumped into Zhang Zhongjing.
"I pay my respects to my lord." This famous doctor with a white beard and an air of immortality bowed his hands in greeting.
It was Zhang Zhongjing, Yan Liang’s newly appointed doctor.
Although famous doctors such as Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo were highly praised by later generations, in today's era, the identity of a doctor is regarded as a low-income profession.
The reason why famous doctors like Zhang Zhongjing are respected is not because of their superb medical skills, but because he comes from a famous family and just loves medicine in his spare time.
As a time traveler, Yan Liang has superhuman insights and naturally knows the importance of medicine.
Therefore, shortly after Yan Liang moved his army to Yingtian, he added a new medical officer to his Grand Sima Ba's mansion and appointed Zhang Zhongjing as the medical officer.
The main responsibility of this doctor is to collect famous doctors from all over the world and form a professional military medical battalion. Whenever there is a war, he will go with the army to save lives and heal the wounded.
In addition, the doctor's office must be built as a medical center to recruit medical apprentices, where famous doctors will impart medical knowledge and train young doctors.
"Why is Zhongjing here free? Is there any request from the medical center? Just ask Gu." Yan Liang thought that Zhang Zhongjing came here because of the medical center.
However, Zhang Zhongjing smiled lightly and said: "My lord has allocated a huge sum of money for the medical clinic, which is enough for several years. How can I dare to ask him for help? I am here to examine the body of the third lady."
Third lady? Yunlu?
"Is Yunlu sick?" Yan Liang asked curiously.
Zhang Zhongjing chuckled, cupped his hands and said: "Not only is the third lady not sick, my subordinates also want to congratulate the lord."
Congratulate me?
Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Zhongjing, could it be Yunlu..."
"The third lady is happy, I should congratulate my lord." Zhang Zhongjing cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Sure enough, Ma Yunlu is indeed pregnant.
After hearing the news, Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart filled with ecstasy.
After Xiaoyan Liangyuan, I, Yan Liang, will finally have a second bloodline of my own. The ecstatic mood instantly makes Yan Liang feel like he is in the clouds.
Now Yan Liang is the lord of the three states, a great tycoon who is feared by all the heroes in the world, and has more than a million people under his command.
For Yan Liang, who has such a dominant position, just one son and one heir are obviously not enough.
Having only one son will make the ministers under his command feel that their lord is sparse and his bloodline is not strong, which will also make them feel uneasy.
Now that Ma Yunlu is pregnant, if he can give birth to another son for Yan Liang, it will be a happy event for Yan Liang, and it will also be a cause for celebration for the people under his command.
"How is her health? Is there anything wrong with the child?" Yan Liang became excited, losing a bit of dignity and becoming more excited.
Zhang Zhongjing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, please be at ease, my subordinates have carefully examined the third lady just now. The third lady is in good health and her pulse is stable. I believe that mother and child will be safe."
Yan Liang felt relieved now, and he didn't care to talk to Zhang Zhongjing any more, and hurriedly hurried to the inner courtyard with rapid strides.
When Yan Liang walked into Ma Yunlu's room, he saw Huang Yueying already there, sitting by the bed, chatting and laughing with Ma Yunlu who was lying on the bed.
Seeing Yan Liang hurried in with a happy face, Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Sister, it seems that your husband has also heard the good news. No, he rushed to see you."
When Ma Yunlu saw Yan Liang arriving, he was about to sit up from the bed.
Seeing this, Yan Liang quickly stepped forward and pressed her down, saying with concern: "You are pregnant now, so please don't move around to avoid damaging the fetus."
Seeing how caring her husband was, Ma Yunlu was moved, but after listening to Yan Liang's words, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I'm only less than two months pregnant. Besides, I'm a martial arts practitioner and have a good body. My husband doesn't need to be so nervous." Ma Yunlu said with a light smile.
As soon as he heard the word "practice martial arts", Yan Liang became even more nervous.
He frowned and immediately said solemnly: "From today on, you are not allowed to touch weapons, and you are not even allowed to ride a horse. You can just raise your child in the house with peace of mind."
"How can that be done? I have to stay in the house every day, and I am suffocated to death. I still want to go with my husband to conquer Huainan and make meritorious deeds." Ma Yunlu complained with a pout.
"No matter how many battles you fight, no matter what achievements you make, as long as you take good care of your body and give birth to a healthy son for your orphan, that is the greatest achievement."
Yan Liang's expression was serious and his tone was decisive. Ma Yunlu had been coquettish for a long time, knowing that her husband was caring about her, so she had to give up.
Yan Liang comforted Ma Yunlu for a while, and then gave instructions to the surrounding servants for a long time, ordering them to take good care of the third lady without any carelessness.
Yueying and Ma Yunlu both laughed.
After comforting him for a long time, Yan Liang came out of the room so that Ma Yunlu could rest.
"Husband, there are recent rumors that our army is gathering. Will my husband send troops to Huainan soon?" Huang Yueying asked casually.
Yan Liang's mind immediately recalled what was brewing, and he said: "It is a foregone conclusion to send troops to Huainan. Gu Zheng wants to discuss this matter with his wife."
Want to discuss with me?
Huang Yueying's beautiful face moved, and her face showed a bit of strange color. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
