Chapter 1032

Everyone already understands the meaning of physical persuasion and has a deep understanding.

Isn't the current stability and prosperity under Liu Bei's rule the result of such physical persuasion?

But Sun Ce's ability to dominate Jiangdong is not a soft persimmon. In fact, the force is not bad, especially Sun Ce's Yangtze River Navy. Although it is certainly impossible to challenge his side at sea, it is really worthy of the Yangtze River.

"I don't have any objection to whether I can physically persuade Sun Ce, but the question is whether the time is urgent?"

Guo Jia looked at Wang Xuan with a frown and continued to ask: "It's not the same now, we can't wait for such a long time, these 300 million people seem to be refugees, but it's not completely unorganized, although they were driven out by deception, But there are also a large number of people from the Central Plains family lurking in it."

"There are these people instigating the emotions of the refugees, which has caused great damage to the place. We have limited troops, we have to deploy defenses at the border, and we have to gather the refugees. Now we are already stretched. The speed of gathering the refugees is very slow. If Then mobilize troops to deal with Sun Ce..."

Guo Jia shook his head solemnly, and everyone understood what he meant. Obviously, he was not optimistic about Wang Xuan's approach. This was also one of the flaws in Liu Bei's military strategy, with too few troops.

There are too few troops, and the territory expanded in a short period of time is too huge. Guanzhong, Xiliang, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and southern Xuzhou have more than doubled their overall area in just over a year.

Although Xiliang and Yizhou are vast and sparsely populated, the hidden dangers of Qiang people and mountain barbarians are huge, and they need a lot of troops to garrison the places.

This has led to a large gap in the originally sufficient troops. Take this attack against Sun Ce as an example. The current news is that Sun Ce rushed along the river and broke through Xiazhi, E County, Zhu County and other four counties. land.

Although it was said that the four counties were all built on Linjiang water, and there were no generals stationed there, it would be difficult to resist Sun Ce's all-out attack, but in the end it was still due to insufficient troops.

In fact, apart from Nanyang County which was originally occupied and Nanjun which was just captured in Jingzhou, the other counties including Jiangxia and the entire four Jingnan counties have a huge shortage of officials dispatched, let alone the issue of garrison. Most of them were Jingzhou soldiers who had originally surrendered, and it was too late to retrain.

You must know that the Han army is not like the Cao army. They can be forced to join the army at will, and they dare to use it after a little training.

The current military system of the Han army is extremely strict, and the welfare of the soldiers is also very high. The soldiers themselves also have a strong sense of honor. This is formed by long-term strict training and ideological education. Destroy the good atmosphere that was finally formed.

This kind of business is not worth the loss, no one would agree to these smart people under Liu Bei's rule.

"You don't need a large army!" Wang Xuan said with a determined face: "If you have more soldiers, you will fight with more soldiers. If you have few soldiers, you will fight with fewer soldiers. If you have no soldiers, you will fight with no soldiers. Use my strengths to attack the other's weaknesses! "

How to play without soldiers?
……

In Xiling, the county town of Jiangxia County, Sun Ce, who was sitting in the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, was full of complacency. He played with the household registration of Jiangxia County in his hands, and said to Zhou Yu with a smile, "It seems that the Han army didn't imagine it again. The Chinese army is so powerful, and the road ahead is like a broken bamboo, the resistance of the Han army is really weak, and the evaluation of the Han army should not be exaggerated."

Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing, he knew that Sun Ce was venting his grievances about the defeat in Xiquyang City.

Of course, it is impossible for Dian Wei to be stationed in every place, especially for such a city that has just been captured by the Han army, it is normal for it to change hands easily.

But it's good to make Sun Ce happy and restore his self-confidence. Xi Quyang's blow to Sun Ce was a bit too big for him.

"Where should we fight next?" Sun Ce excitedly came to the front of the map, sliding his finger on the map, "Should we go north to take Anlu, or turn to Hanshui to take Jingling, or continue to go up the river to take Shasha?" Xian soldiers entering Nanjun?"

Zhou Yu also stood up, walked to the map with a smile and stood side by side with Sun Ce, casually standing there, spreading hormones towards the surroundings, gently waving the feather fan in his hand, and said in a confident voice: "If it is usual, definitely It is to enter the Han River and take Jingling and Neifang, cut off Xiangyang’s attack channel along the Han River, and then go north along the Wei River to capture Anlu and cut off the road going south from Nanyang.”

"But it's different now. Cao Cao expelled 300 million people into Liu Bei's rule at one time, followed by an army of no less than 30. The Han army was overwhelmed. How could they manage us, especially Jiangxia and the four counties of Jingnan? It is the land newly occupied by the Han army, and there is no time to rectify it, so we have to continue down the river."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu used his feather fan to paddle gently along the Yangtze River on the map, passing Shaxian and Zhouling, and didn’t stop until Yueyang, “Our goal is here. The Cui family of Qinghe built a city here. Named Yueyang, it firmly guards the waterway of the Yangtze River and at the same time it is backed by Dongting Lake, where it can park a large number of naval forces, and it is the most important node in controlling the waters of the river.”

"Furthermore, the Qinghe Cui family has a close relationship with the King of Han. If you want to firmly occupy the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River and Jiangxia, you must win here and cut off the tentacles of the Han army extending to the south of the Yangtze River. Only by firmly occupying this place can we ensure the completion of our occupation of Jing The goal of Nansi County and Jiangxia."

"Okay!" Sun Ce put his arms on Zhou Yu's shoulders and said vigorously, "After three days of rest, we will send troops to Sha Xian!"

……

"This is Yueyang?" Wang Xuan was wearing an ordinary gray cotton jacket, walking on the streets of Yueyang and looking around.

This cotton has been planted on a trial basis in Qingzhou, and it has spread over a large area over the years and has become very popular. It is simply an artifact, which greatly reduces the death rate of the northern people in winter.

Moreover, the cotton cloth spun from cotton was also purchased by the common people in large quantities, which was much better than linen clothes. Under Wang Xuan's policy of encouraging industry and commerce, it quickly spread to the entire Han Dynasty.

"This Yueyang building is really good, the only thing missing is a Yueyang Tower!" Wang Xuan looked around and muttered.

"What is Yueyang Tower?" Zhang Fei, who had a black face and a beard like a bristle, stretched out his head and asked.

"It's obviously a building, why are you so stupid!" Before Wang Xuan could answer, Hua Xiong's rough voice broke in.

"Damn it, you're so itchy, right?" Zhang Fei squinted at Hua Xiong with his fingers crossed. He hadn't beaten Hua Xiong for a long time since everyone guarded the same place. Obviously, Hua Xiong was floating. Yes!

"Shut up for me, both of you." Wang Xuan's cold voice came over, and the two of them shook and immediately shut up with dry smiles.

Behind them, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Yang Ren, Pang De, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo watched the two quarreling with a smile on their lips.

This group of people walking on the street is very eye-catching. After all, even handsome men like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are tall and big, not to mention guys like Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong who are full of evil spirits. You can see that it is not a good class.

Of course, at most they thought they were heroes in Dongting Lake, no one would think about the Hou Ye who were under the command of the King of Han.
