Chapter 41

After hearing this, Zhang Yan knew that she had said the wrong thing and asked questions she shouldn't have asked. She no longer had a public office, so she naturally couldn't ask these secrets anymore, so she stuck out her tongue and made a face, and stopped talking! Cai Yan said with a little concern: "Husband! Why are you going to fight again? Isn't this very peaceful? Besides, even if you want to fight, you don't have to lead the army to fight in person! If you lead the army to fight, we don't know how much we should worry at home!" Diao Chan and his men also nodded! Liu Bin was going to fight in war, and they were also worried about Liu Bin's safety! Especially Diao Chan, she got married to Liu Bin and had not yet experienced the experience of Liu Bin going out to fight! She was even more worried!

Seeing their appearance, Liu Bin couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! Don't worry! You guys don't know what my ability is. What danger can I have! And with my current status, there is no need for me to charge in person, as long as I command the army to fight behind! And now the war is for peace in the future! Now it is a chaotic world and the world is in chaos. If we don't fight with others, others will take the initiative to conflict with us! So it's better to take the initiative! In this way, wait until ours

Only when the children grow up can they have a stable life, and they don’t have to fight all day! Okay, there are some things that I can’t be convenient for me to talk too much to you! You just need to know that I’m fine! Okay, let’s have dinner!" Hearing Liu Bin say this, his wives couldn’t say anything more! They all sat down and started eating! Liu Bin smiled and stopped talking about anything else! He started eating with his wives! He just wanted to enjoy the warmth and happiness of the family before the war! As for other things, it’s better to say so much! It’s useless to say more!

Liu Bin rested in the palace for two days. During this period, Liu Bin sorted out some of the equipment from the cold weapon era in his memory! He drew the shapes of wine, but did not know the specific shapes, according to the statements in the history books, plus the understanding of later generations, he sorted out the information, and then handed it to the Equipment Manufacturing Bureau, and asked Ma Jun and the others to find a way to sort it out! And make it as soon as possible, and try to make it out when the army was sent to Liaodong so that the army could use it! This time, the army may have many siege battles, and there are few opportunities for field battles! If the city is forced to siege, even if there is an internal support to help, the Youzhou Army

The losses will definitely be huge! Liu Bin's current troops have finally been trained, so he naturally doesn't want to lose in Liaodong! He still wants to retain some strength to fight for dominance of the world! After these days, Guo Jia and his men came to the palace again to report the situation to Liu Bin. Liu Bin explained their tasks a few days ago, and they have completed them! The General Staff has formulated an action plan, and the Provincial and Patriarchs' Mansion has prepared three months of food, grass and weapons for a three-month period! Although the army can set off! However, Liu Bin has not yet said that he will take those troops to set off, so Guo Jia and the others need to go to the palace to report to Liu Bin together!

After hearing this, Liu Bin nodded and said nothing else! Seeing this situation, Guo Jia said, "Lord! This time I went to Liaodong, I don't know how many troops will be brought? And they all brought those soldiers? If we want to mobilize the army from other places, it's time!" Liu Bin smiled and said, "Well! I plan to bring 250,000 troops this time, and the navy's 100,000 troops together, a total of 350,000 troops! The situation in Liaodong is complicated, and I don't want to fall into this quagmire, so I plan to succeed in one battle! I will solve this problem forever! Because the terrain of Liaodong is complicated, I won't bring so many troops this time! Bring a hundred thousand is enough! The other 150,000 troops are all infantry! Well! I plan to mobilize 150,000 troops from Youzhou headquarters, and 100,000 troops from Bingzhou! What do you think?"

Jia Xu frowned and said, "Lord, although this time we were still preparing to deal with Yuan Shao from Jizhou when we were attacking Gongsun Du in Liaodong, Youzhou was left with only 50,000 troops. Isn't it a little less? Only such a little force is left. If Yuan Shao attacks us, we may not be able to withstand it! Yes, our 50,000 troops in the past had resisted the attack of Gongsun Du and the 500,000 troops at that time, but the 50,000 troops at that time were different from the 50,000 troops now! Those are veterans who followed the lord through many battles! Now the 50,000 troops have only been trained! They may not be able to do this level! The combat power is very different! We cannot be deceived in order to lure Yuan Shao into a trap! We must still be prepared to deal with sudden situations!"

Liu Bin nodded after hearing this and said, "Wenhe is reasonable! Of course, I will not take it so lightly! However, if the Youzhou headquarters left too many troops, Yuan Shao would probably not dare to take action! So there is nothing wrong with leaving 50,000 troops in Youzhou! However, I still plan to mobilize 50,000 troops in Bingzhou and the army on the grassland after our army set off, and secretly stationed on the border of Youzhou to guard against Yuan Shao's actions at all times! If Yuan Shao really dares to take the opportunity to invade Youzhou, I believe that the 150,000 troops can also stop for a while and persist until our army returns to aid! At that time, we will divide the troops into three groups and attack Yuan Shao according to the original plan. It should be no problem! How about it, is there any problem now?" Jia Xu saw that Liu Bin was already prepared, and there was no danger in Youzhou, so naturally there was no problem!

Liu Bin thought for a while and said, "By the way, in addition to the army, I am also planning to mobilize a large number of slaves and civil servants to follow the army to operate! Help the army to build roads! Now in my Youzhou, the roads have been repaired! But they are only built to western Liaoning. The roads in Liaodong are rugged and not suitable for large army operations! I am planning to let the army fight on one side, and the slaves and civil servants on the other side build roads! This way, without delay, repairing the roads can not only ensure the convenience of the logistics supply of our army. When we conquer Liaodong, it will also help our army return to aid as soon as possible, and also facilitate us to govern the Liaodong region. I wonder what you think?"

Liu Bin firmly believes in the famous saying of modern times to build roads before getting rich, so he built roads in his territory! Not only were roads built between major cities, but also roads of corresponding levels were built in each township! Anyway, there are so many slaves in Youzhou, so there is no need to pay wages, and it is not useless! Moreover, the cement and other things needed to build roads are produced by his own factory, and it does not require too much money! Therefore, the roads within the territory ruled by Youzhou are well-connected and the transportation is very convenient!

It is conducive to the development of private commerce and also brings great convenience to mobilizing large troops! However, Liaodong is not under its control now, and the roads there are not yet connected with Youzhou's roads. At most, the roads in Youzhou are only built to western Liaoning! Liu Bin is addicted to building roads, and now the army is also planning to build roads specifically! Anyway, the attack on Liaodong is now a battle within its own sphere of influence, and there is no such pressure on logistics. It is not a problem to fight while building roads while fighting!

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and did not object! They also knew that Liu Bin was very enthusiastic about building roads, and building roads was indeed of great benefit! Although they had never seen the situation of building roads while fighting, they did not think there would be too much danger to the war situation in Liaodong. What Liu Bin said was reasonable, so they did not object! In their opinion, there was no need to have a dispute with the lord for such a small matter! Let's go with the lord!

Seeing that they did not object, Liu Bin said, "Okay! Let's do it! You immediately give Huang Zhong and Guan Yu orders to lead their troops to start the action according to the order! The 100,000 troops in Bingzhou will arrive in Youzhou as soon as possible and will reconcile with the main force! Our army will set off in a month to attack Gongsun Du in Liaodong! At the same time, order Gan Ning and let him lead the navy to start the action from now on! All ships in the Liaodong waters will be seized! At the same time, attack the coastal areas of Liaodong by sea, so that Gongsun Du will be busy for me! Since Liaodong is so chaotic now, let us add another fire to him! Gongsun Du has been in Liaodong for a long time and has been a local emperor for so many years. Many surrounding forces are dependent on him. Now it is time for them to start the operation!"

Liu Bin knew very well how powerful and status Gongsun Du had in Liaodong. In history, Gongsun Du was simply the overlord of Northeast Asia. The entire Northeast region, the Korean Peninsula, and even the Fusang Islands were within his ruling range. These areas traded each other, which made Gongsun Du make a lot of money! Even in the Jiangnan region, there were many aristocratic families who were dealing with Gongsun Du! Now that he was going to fight with Gongsun Du, he naturally cut off his wealth! Since these forces knew that he and Gongsun Du had become enemies, they were still with Gongsun Du.

Sun Du woke up the transaction, which was to be an enemy of him. He sent someone to seize their ships and annex the money. He couldn't blame himself! Liaodong was originally before the war, and the people were displaced. Moreover, because the weather in Liaodong was cold, the grain production has been reduced a lot. If he continued to trade through sea routes, then Gongsun Du could get the support of foreign food and grass from the sea routes. Then it would be much trouble to destroy Gongsun Du! He didn't want to form a war of attrition with Gongsun Du! He still had a big chess to play in the Central Plains!
