Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 385 Useless Calculation

Xiang Jian and other princes thought that if the number of soldiers he brought did not reach more than 300,000, Xiang Jian felt that he was going to deliver food, not to fight.

However, the deployment of an army of 500,000 is not an easy task. Apart from other things, raising supplies and food will take at least a month.

Without enough food, the coalition of princes might collapse halfway due to food problems.

Fan Zeng knew clearly that this time Xiang Jian was going to face Liu Hua, who had defeated Great Qin head-on. Even with an army of 500,000, he might not be able to win.

But Fan Zeng understood that if they could not defeat Liu Hua with the help of the coalition forces of the princes this time, even if they just broke the myth that Liu Hua's Han army was invincible, it would be fine when Liu Hua digested Guanzhong and mastered the resources north of the Yellow River. They are no match for Liu Hua.

How Qin Shihuang unified the world in the first place, then how Liu Hua will unify the world.

Fan Zeng said: "Your Majesty, we want to gather a coalition of princes to be on par with Liu Hua, so we must increase the political blockade of Liu Hua. Now my plan has not succeeded, so next we must use the power of the coalition to defeat Liu Hua , this is an important opportunity for us to defeat Liu Hua, and it may even be our only chance!"

"The only chance..." Xiang Jian took a deep breath when he heard this. This word is a fatal temptation for anyone.

Fan Zeng solemnly said: "Your Majesty will win this battle. If Liu Hua is defeated, he will dominate the world. Zhu Hai has no popularity, Yuan Shao is a mediocre leader, and the world will definitely be surnamed Xiang!"

When Xiang Jian heard Fan Zeng's words, he couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to become the master of the world.

When he thought of this, Xiang Jian couldn't help but clenched his fists and said, "Everything is as you wish!"

"No!" Fan Zeng replied seriously to Xiang Jian at this moment.

For Fan Zeng, as a counselor, it is enough that the monarch is willing to make plans according to his own layout.

……

In the defeat of Hulao, the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the enfeoffment of Xiting and many other major events, Yuan Shao was far from being an important figure. Yuan Shao, who was originally self-proclaimed, had a huge sense of crisis. There were crises everywhere, and every opponent was So tricky.

"Send the order, summon all the counselors, I have something to say!" Yuan Shao felt deeply under pressure and entered the state of being a model in the world, planning to attack fiercely. He could no longer be abandoned by the general trend of the world.

"Changwen, have we made any good progress here?" Yuan Shao asked Chen Qun anxiously. He was really afraid of Liu Hua, who was currently his strongest opponent, even Xiang Jian, who was the leader of the alliance. , Yuan Shao didn't have much fear.

"Well, I'm afraid our army won't make much progress in a short time." Chen Qun said with a wry smile. To be honest, Yuan Shao's side is not weak anymore. A white soldier who is comparable to the soul of the army, and the strength of the two imperial guards is not as strong as the alliance. Mainly weak.

But if you really compare with Liu Hua, I'm afraid it's not enough. You must know that their 400,000 troops were no match for the Qin army at Wang Li Hulao Pass, and now they are even less likely to be the match for the Han army that defeated the Qin army.

"I'm afraid our army is indeed no match for the opponent at the moment." Chen Qun sighed. Even if he had all kinds of calculations, if his hard power was not accurate enough, he would be defeated.

The huge pressure made Yuan Shao let out a long breath and said: "I am a little impatient. Of course we must act cautiously against such an opponent."

"Your lord is wise!" Chen Qun saluted Yuan Shao. He was now Yuan Shao's mastermind.

"Yingming? Huh!" Yuan Shao snorted, and then asked Chen Qun, "Can Li Mi succeed in winning over him? Our army has a small number of strong generals after all."

Chen Qun glanced at Guo Tu beside him. The only one under Yuan Shao who was good at this kind of thing was Guo Tu. "Don't worry, my lord, Liu Heitai under Li Mi has been tempted, and it will be a matter of time before he joins us." Guo Tu smiled confidently.

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction. The Five Tigers of Wagang under Li Mi could make Yuan Shao's mouth water. Each of them was a fierce general who was not inferior to Yan Liang, Wen Chou, especially Liu Heitai, who had a commanding attitude.

"Is there any chance to kill Qin Ziying?" Yuan Shao then asked. He had little chance of winning on the battlefield, so he had to use off-the-chart tricks.

"Lord, Xianyang is heavily guarded. The people we sent there couldn't find a chance to attack." Xu You shook his head. He was responsible for this matter.

The original intention was to use Qin Ziying's head to drive a wedge between Qin Jun Jiangjun and Liu Hua. Unexpectedly, Xianyang's vigilance was beyond imagination.

Several Huben experts recruited by Yuan Shao have completely lost news. They now know nothing about the situation in Xianyang.

"There is no other way. The outcome will ultimately be determined on the battlefield." Yuan Shao sighed helplessly. When the strength of both sides reached a certain level, most of the plots and tricks were meaningless.

"We are incompetent, please punish me, Lord." Chen Qun, Xu You, Guo Tu and others quickly apologized.

Compared with Fan Zeng, Yuan Shao's plan still lacked planning from the perspective of the world, and was rather petty.

"It is my incompetence that has caused trouble to you all." Yuan Shao helped Chen Qun and Xu You and said, "I have to entrust you with important matters, how can I punish you all."

Sima Yi watched silently. He really couldn't understand why Yuan Shao was in a state of confusion. However, Sima Yi didn't care. Whether it was Liu Hua's victory or Yuan Shao's victory, the world had its own place.

……

Half a million allied troops passed through Hulao, went to Luoyang, and arrived at Hangu Pass. They were known as a million-strong army and came to attack Liu Hua. This amount scared Liu Hua to death!

Of course, just as the allied forces of the princes were preparing to start another war with Liu Hua, Liu Hua said to Liu Ren, who was gradually changing from the main force of the navy to transportation: "In a while, it will be almost winter. The next time we transport supplies, Transport more warm clothes, and the food needs to be layered higher than usual!"

"Has food consumption increased? Have many prisoners been captured again? Do we need the general to take them back to Youzhou?" At this time, Liu Rengui asked with some concern.

Recently, many talents have emerged in the navy. Yu Yunwen, Huan Wen and others have taken a lot of pressure off Liu Rengui.

"The main reason is that the weather is about to enter winter. When the rivers freeze, shipping materials may not be possible. If we take the land route, the material consumption will be astonishingly high, so we still need to reserve some in advance." Liu Hua replied. road.

"Can't we sled in winter? After I freeze the river water, we can use this thing to cross the river!" Liu Rengui couldn't help but said.

"The journey from Julu to Xianyang is probably going to be exhausting for the livestock." Liu Hua shook his head and said, "How dangerous is it if there is only a land supply line left? It's better to stock up on food first!"

"How much supplies does the king need to reserve?" Liu Rengui asked Liu Hua.

"For the time being, let's follow the three-month food quota for the 100,000-strong army. All the pickled bacon and bacon can be taken out!" Liu Hua said seriously.

Liu Hua looked calm. Although the supply difficulty will rise sharply after winter, he will be able to obtain supplies after all. However, the consumption of transporting food on the road is too much. Although he has accumulated some capital over the years, he must save some money. Hua, taking the land route is a bit too much!

Even if Xun Xi, Xiao He, Xun Yu and others help him manage logistics, he cannot consume much.
