The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 322
Chapter 330 Four is a Mess
After spending so much time and being unable to produce what he wanted, Chen Ziming was very disappointed. However, Chen Ziming was a little relieved that the seeds of the steam engine had been planted. As long as he was still alive, he would continue to be studied until until successful.

After Chen Ziming left the factory, after reading the official documents accumulated during this period, his expression was very ugly. It wasn't that there was a problem, but that too many people died, which far exceeded the bottom line in Chen Ziming's heart.

The reason why Chen Ziming didn't initiate the unification war was because he wanted to control the death toll, so as not to let the big man kill a large number of young men in one go.

But now it seems that Chen Ziming is a bit wishful thinking. In the two battlefields, Zhang Fei's side is better. Most of them are singled out by generals. Occasionally small-scale melees occur, and the number of deaths on both sides can be controlled.

But the battle between the south and Sun Ce got a bit out of control. Xu Huang used Pang Tong's strategy to burn more than 4 people in Sun Ce, and then Sun Ce used Zhou Yu's strategy to ambush Xu Huang's troops and killed Xu Huang's [-] soldiers. , Coupled with the large and small battles, the entire tree-shaded mountains flowed like rivers, and it can be said that the lives of the people were devastated.

In order to support the two huge meat grinding plants, Liu Bei not only formed a new army, but also recruited many young and strong to join the army, which greatly reduced the labor force in various places, which caused a considerable pause in production in various places, and many projects had to be stopped. down.

Moreover, the war consumed countless money and food, which made Liu Bei's treasury, which had just started to improve, empty again. Now Liu Bei is going to borrow money from those big families again to help. Chen Ziming frowned after seeing it.

Borrowing money is fine, but there must be a limit. You borrow money just because you have difficulties, and you haven’t paid back what you borrowed last time. Doesn’t this make everyone flustered?

"Come here, send an order to Xu Huang. The southern battlefield is mainly defensive. No active attacks are allowed to reduce casualties. As long as Sun Ce doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, don't provoke him." Chen Ziming immediately sent an order to the military department, ordering Xu Huang.

Sun Ce was only entrusted by Cao Cao to restrain Liu Bei's troops. Now that his mission has been completed, although he is a bit cautious and wants to take advantage of the fire, Sun Ce should also understand that Liu Bei is not qualified to mess with him, and he probably won't do it again. I'm daydreaming, as long as Xu Huang doesn't attack, Sun Ce should be happy to relax.

"Cao Cao, let me meet you, Liangzhou must be won." Chen Ziming had no choice but to secretly rely on it, but if Zhang Fei was allowed to do it like this, Liu Bei would not only develop, but even his own national strength would be destroyed by this battle. War wears down.

When Chen Ziming saw Liu Bei, he expressed his opinion. Liu Bei readily agreed, and he didn't want to continue thinking like this. Now this war has been going on for more than half a year, and it will be the end of the year in two months. If there is no breakthrough, The cost of nearly a million troops spending the winter is enough to wear down Liu Bei.

It's not that you can't fight in winter, but that fighting in winter will cost countless times more than usual, and it's too difficult. No matter who it is, they don't want to fight in winter.

Of course, when you are forced to do nothing, you can only bite the bullet. For example, Zhang Fei must not withdraw his troops now, otherwise Liangzhou will belong to Cao Cao.

After Chen Ziming arranged everything, he hurried to Hedong, preparing to take over the army of Hedong and end the Battle of Hedong as soon as possible.

I have to say that Chen Ziming's strategy was very successful. The south focused on defense. Since Xu Huang received Chen Ziming's order, he defended against danger and was unable to hold on. At the beginning, Sun Ce sent Xu Huang to have some kind of conspiracy, and be careful for a while. Later, seeing that Xu Huang really didn't want to come out to fight, Sun Ce was also happy to have a leisurely time. After a while, he sent people to call for battle, and then continued to confront Xu Huang without leading his army to attack.

Since Sun Ce attacked rashly some time ago, Pang Tong calculated that he burned more than 4 people, and almost made Sun Ce withdraw his troops and return to Jiangdong. If Zhou Yu hadn't planned to save the game, Sun Ce would have no news of fighting.

Of course, after several battles, Sun Ce also deeply experienced the strength of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses. Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or weapons and equipment, they are much better than Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

If Sun Ce wants to take advantage of the fire, those Xuzhous are completely idiotic dreams. Zhou Yu also persuaded Sun Ce not to continue to attack. Cao Cao is not a good person. Allies strike.

"My lord, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are powerful enemies. The way out from Jiangdong lies in Shuhan." Zhou Yu once again pointed out the strategic goal for Sun Ce. Now the north has been divided up by Liu Bei and Cao Cao. If Liangzhou has an owner, then both Cao Cao and Liu Bei will set their sights on Yizhou.

Not only did Liu Bei look down on the so-called Shuhan Kingdom, but even Cao Cao and Sun Ce didn’t take it to heart. As long as Liu Zhang was not orthodox, but a usurper, they could justifiably line up a large army to capture Yizhou and kill the weakest Liu Zhang.

"Yeah." Sun Ce also gave up his plan to fight for the north with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Liu Bei is too strong, far from being able to fight against him, and Cao Cao is not weak. Now that he has Jingzhou, his strength has greatly increased, and they have a common enemy Liu Bei didn't dare to fight casually.

"After Cao Cao and Liu Bei decide the winner, let Zhou Tai stay in Huainan, Zhu Heng and Dong Xi will be the lieutenants, leading [-] troops, and Zhuge Jin will stay to assist the three to keep our north safe." Sun Ce already has It was decided that the road to the north was cut off, and the only option was to switch from offense to defense.

"My lord, Liu Bei's navy is strong, so we must guard against it," Zhou Yu reminded.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Sun Ce came and took a few steps, and then said, "Ling Ling Tong, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Ji are training an army of [-] troops in Wu County to prevent Liu Bei from attacking by land and sea."

"The rest of the army is transferred to Lingling, waiting for the opportunity to capture Yizhou!" Sun Ce's eyes flashed, and he immediately began to arrange to attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

"The mountain is more brave, and it is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, so it can be reused." Zhou Yu offered another strategy.

"Very good!" Sun Ce was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately said: "Order Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Ma Zhong, and Quan Cong to immediately recruit [-] mountains for my use, and then transfer the [-] mountains here to Lingling as a vanguard army. , into Yizhou."

Now that the decision was made, Xu Huang would not provoke Sun Ce, so Sun Ce was happy to be at ease. Anyway, he did what he promised Cao Cao, and kept Liu Bei's troops in the south of Xuzhou. The rest was up to Cao Cao himself.

"Meet the prime minister!"

When Chen Ziming came to Zhang Fei's camp, everyone went out to greet him. Chen Ziming took Zhang Fei's place without hesitation, and then began to check the latest battle report.

"Order Tai Shici and Zhuge Liang to deal with the [-] Cao soldiers who came to reinforce Luoyang within half a month." Chen Ziming's heart moved, and he had already made a plan, and then directly ordered Tai Shici and Zhuge Liang.
