Chapter 112
When they heard Liu Bin's words, Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled! They had long guessed Liu Bin's plan, so they were not surprised or surprised! They also recognized what Liu Bin said. Youzhou has developed too fast during this period! It's time to hide its strength and keep a low profile for a while! In the past, because the surrounding situation did not allow it, Youzhou did not occupy strategic initiative! But after Youzhou occupied Jizhou, the form was very different! Youzhou has natural dangers in all directions, and the strategic initiative was obtained!
On the contrary, Youzhou is the largest force in the world, with strong troops and strong financial resources, which is already very jealous! However, at that time, Youzhou was located in the northern border and did not have direct conflicts of interest with the princes of the Central Plains. These people were even jealous and had no choice! But after Youzhou occupied Jizhou, the power of Youzhou would be adjacent to the Central Plains. If Youzhou was still very strong and aggressive, then these princes would feel a sense of crisis of their vital interests! The pressure on Youzhou would greatly increase! In order to protect themselves, they would definitely unite to eliminate the threats brought to them by Youzhou first, and decide the winners and losses of each! Therefore, after Youzhou occupied Jizhou, they might temporarily put away their edge, cultivate themselves first, and strengthen their strength, and at the same time not cause joint resistance from the princes of the world! When the time is ripe, they will then lead their troops to go south and unify the mountains and rivers! This is the perfect solution!
After hearing this, Xun Yu and others thought of this, they also thought it should be the case, but they were a little doubtful about whether this plan could be realized! Of course, they either doubt whether Youzhou could really control Jizhou. With Youzhou's strength, even if it was head-on, they could completely eliminate Yuan Shao's forces in Jizhou! What they are worried about now is whether using the navy as the main attack direction to allow the navy to fight on land and to complete the strategic requirements! After all, the navy's weapons and equipment rely on warships to fight! They do not have many personal weapons and equipment, and they still have to fight on land, and they still have to attack the enemy's strong defense city. Isn't this a bit of a risk? Even if it is a sneak attack, the possibility of success is very small! If the attack is not successful, those people from the navy go deep into the enemy's hinterland, which is a threat! The navy's losses are great! The navy is not as good as the army, and the navy belongs to the technical army, but it is not so easy to train!
So Xun Yu frowned and said, "Lord, your plan is indeed unexpected. If you fail, you can make a lot of achievements. But isn't this too risky? Although there are quite a few people in the navy, there are not many who can really land on the battlefield! It is too dangerous to let them attack the city guarded by the enemy's heavily troops! It is also a waste! After all, the navy is a technical army and requires a lot of manpower and financial resources. There is still time to train! Is it a bit of a waste to let them charge into battle?"
Although I didn't agree with Liu Bin's vigorous development of the navy in the past, I believed that the navy not only had no great use, but also had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to train, which was really unnecessary! However, later they found that the navy still had a considerable role! In these battles, the performance of the navy was refreshing, and in addition, protecting merchant ships at the sea made Youzhou's economy profit a lot, making people feel the importance of the navy! So they are now paying more and more attention to the development of the navy! Now that Liu Bin wants to use the navy to attack the difficulties, they will of course be very worried!
After hearing this, Liu Bin pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well! Not bad, it makes sense! Haha, it's not easy to train the navy! It's their duty to let them fight against the enemy at sea. It's really not worth it to let them fight on land! But! I think it's really a chance to give them! Now the navy has also begun to form a Marine Corps, and it's nothing to let them fight on land! Training alone will not produce good soldiers! They should go through a little bloody battle! Of course, you are right, the navy is all treasures, and it's heartbreaking if they lose a little! This time the mission is very important! There are indeed not many people who can participate in land combat! You should give them some reinforcements!"
Speaking of this, Liu Bin thought about it again and said, "Let the guards act with the navy. With the guards, the navy will not be in danger! And they can also experience bloody battles! Well, that's it!" When Liu Bin asked the guards to join the navy to join the war, Xun Yu and others were happy at first, but soon frowned. Xun Yu said, "Mr.! This time, you won't plan to go out to fight in person and take the navy to raid the Bohai Nanpi, right? Lord, don't! You just came back and haven't had enough rest, how can you go out to fight again? There is still a lot of affairs waiting for you to handle in person in Youzhou! Besides, you can't let your lord do everything yourself!..."
The Guards' combat power is very strong! With them, they can indeed be invincible on the battlefield! However, not everyone can command the Guards! Apart from Liu Bin, Zhao Yun can command them! According to the designated plan, Zhao Yun should be commanding the Youzhou army to attack Jizhou from the north! Then the rest may be that Liu Bin will take the Guards to fight! They are really worried that Liu Bin will lead his troops to fight in person this time! The last time he went to Liaodong to attack Gongsun Du, Liu Bin went on an expedition in order to confuse the princes and let them be free and unrestrained because Liu Bin is not in Youzhou.
Fear, attack each other, Youzhou can take advantage of the troubled waters! But this time it is different! Since Youzhou has already formulated its strategy, it is the same whether Liu Bin will go to the battlefield or not! It would be better if he didn't go to the battle himself, and he can continue to implement a confusion policy! Let those people underestimate Youzhou! Liu Bin can also handle some affairs in Youzhou! If he goes to the battle himself, he will not only have to take certain risks, but also expose his goals. It is really not worth it! Besides, Youzhou now has hundreds of thousands of troops, so some generals should gradually stand on their own. If you can't fight, you must go to the battle himself!
After hearing this, Liu Bin smiled and said, "Haha, you misunderstood! Don't worry, I don't plan to go out in person this time! The Jizhou strategy has been formulated, as long as this strategy is implemented, Jizhou will fall into our hands. It's the same whether I go or not! Besides, what is Yuan Shao a thing, and I am worthy of this king to deal with him personally? If I ask this king to take action personally, it would be too highly respectful to him Yuan Shao! Moreover, during this period, there are so many affairs in Youzhou that I need to deal with it myself. I want to accompany some wives and children in the royal palace, so, this time the battle against Jizhou is not very important!"
Hearing Liu Bin say this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be better if Liu Bin didn't come out! It would save people from worrying! And with the lord in Youzhou, there are many problems that he can't solve, and you can submit them to the lord! Xun Yu and other government ministers really want Liu Bin to stay in Youzhou and not go out! As for how the guards arrange it, they can't ask! But they just asked. Guo Jia asked: "Master! Since you don't go out in person, what should you do with this specific personnel arrangement?"
Liu Bin smiled and said, "This is easy to do! Just follow the three-way army that has been formulated! The army of Youzhou headquarters, Zang Ba as the commander and Zhao Yun as the vanguard, led 200,000 troops south to Jizhou! In Bingzhou, Huang Zhong was the commander. Well, in order to prevent the emptiness of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation and mobilized Guan Yu's troops to be transferred to Bingzhou to deploy defense! As for the navy, Gan Ning was naturally the commander. Dian Wei led the Guards as the vanguard, and Gan Ning was temporarily commanded! In this way, the navy will not only charge and have generals to command operations along the way, but also have generals to command operations. With the weapons and equipment of the Guards, and combat effectiveness, even if there are any unexpected situations along the way, they can ensure that they are foolproof! You can rest assured now!"
After hearing Liu Bin say this, Guo Jia and others stopped saying anything! Since the lord has made all preparations, they have nothing to say! The party who attacked Jizhou has confirmed this! They just need to implement this plan in the future! Of course, the detailed situation still needs to be formulated by the General Staff. Therefore, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the military advisors and staff of the General Staff, said goodbye first and went to the General Staff to formulate a specific march strategy! Xun Yu and his men began to lead the Minister of Government Affairs and began to report to Liu Bin the major events encountered in Youzhou's government affairs these days, or Liu Bin personally made a decision!
When Liu Bin saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed! What he hated the most was handling these cumbersome government affairs, and he really had no talent in this regard! Fortunately, most of these things required Liu Bin to guide a direction of progress at the strategic level! Many specific matters, Xun Yu and others have also formulated corresponding solutions in advance, and as long as Liu Bin approved it, they can be implemented! Of course, most of the affairs require the allocation of money and grain and appointing some positions. Originally, Xun Yu and others could decide on it themselves. However, in order to provoke others' gossip, they still tried their best to get Liu Bin's permission!
After seeing the matter they submitted, Liu Bin shook his head helplessly. He was too lazy to think so much! As long as Xun Yu and the others had already formulated countermeasures, Liu Bin directly approved it! He specialized in his profession, Xun Yu and the others were great wise men in government affairs. The countermeasures they formulated must be better than those they had made! Anyway, he could trust them and handed them over to them to handle them. He didn't have to think so much at all!
