Chapter 333 You said 50,000 armored soldiers are partial troops! ?
Facing heavy pressure from Liu Bei, even Yuan Shao had to find a few allies to share part of the pressure.
However, in the entire Han Dynasty, there were only a few princes who could help Yuan Shao share the pressure.
Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Yizhou Liu Zhang were eliminated first. After all, one of them was a senior brother with Liu Bei, the other was a clan clan member of the Han Dynasty, and they were natural allies with Liu Bei.
Other than these two, the only options Yuan Shao can choose are Yuan Shu and Sun Ce. However, there is a gap between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Sun Ce, who takes over Yuan Shu's power, may not necessarily form an alliance with Yuan Shao. Instead, he will choose to deal with the pressure from Liu Bei alone.
There is also Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Although he and Liu Bei are both Han clan clansmen, Liu Biao who lost the wealthy land in northern Jingzhou may not necessarily choose Liu Bei. How could Liu Biao be willing to fail in the face of Yuan Shu.
Even if the guy who helps him is Yuan Shao, a tribesman from Yuan Shu, for Liu Biao, if he can help him regain control of Jingzhou, the rest are just details.
For Yuan Shao, although helping Liu Biao regain the land of Jingbei does not directly help him share part of the pressure from Liu Bei.
But it can stir up the forces under Yuan Shu, although the forces under Yuan Shu have now gradually transitioned to those under Sun Ce.
However, this is not a big problem. Yuan Shao and the others' purpose is to stir up chaos in the southern states, induce the Xuzhou family to raise a flag of rebellion against Liu Bei, and attract Liu Bei's attention as much as possible.
As long as the southern states are in chaos, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will definitely take advantage of the chaos to conquer Jiangdong and Jingchu, and even take Jiaozhou as well.
And Li You's actions in Xuzhou were to try his best to provoke internal struggles within the Xuzhou family, and turned a blind eye to Jizhou's small moves to invade Xuzhou.
When Liu Bei first took control of Xuzhou, because he wanted to maintain the stability of Xuzhou, he did not use many knives against most of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
Faced with transfer orders from the Fenggao Government Affairs Department, Xuzhou officials would delay the transfer as long as they could. They always acted as if the transfer had not yet been completed, and they did not want to go to Qingzhou to take up a post at all.
Now, with the instigation from Jizhou and Li You's indulgence, the Xuzhou family has begun to actively communicate and prepare to resist Li You's high-pressure rule.
Of course, if the Xuzhou family really raised the flag of rebellion, they would not dare. After all, Li You's high-pressure rule in Xuzhou only made them breathless and did not actually threaten their lives.
However, when Liu Biao in Jingzhou makes a move, the Xuzhou family cannot help but wait. It depends on whether the Xuzhou family can suppress the greed in their hearts.
"As long as Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou moves, Sun Boxu will definitely send troops, and then the Xuzhou family will also move. Maybe Yizhou will also send troops from Bajun to Nanjun." Chen Xi He looked at Fazheng and said.
"So, the key on the southern battlefield is whether Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng wants to take back the land in northern Jingzhou?" Fazheng frowned.
“Not sure, maybe Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin can’t tell. After all, they want to strengthen themselves. In addition to the land of Jiangdong, the land of Jingchu is also a very good place, not to mention the Being able to avenge Sun Jian kills two birds with one stone," Chen Xi said with a sneer.
"You mean, there are people from Yuan Benchu under Yuan Gongli's command?" Fazheng clearly heard this meaning from Chen Xi's words.
"This is not necessarily the case. Although the civil servants and generals under Yuan Gongli are not the best in the world, they are worthy of the word loyalty. They will not choose to betray Yuan Gongli."
Chen Xi Waving his hand, of course there were people from Yuan Shao under Yuan Shu's rule, but those people were not the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shu's command. Chen Xi was referring to the aristocratic families under Yuan Shu's rule.
"In other words, if Liu Jingsheng does not plan to return to Jingbei, the aristocratic families under Yuan Gongdao will also encourage Sun Bofu to attack the four counties in Jingnan?" Fazheng thought thoughtfully. said.
"Anyway, Yuan Benchu's purpose is to cause chaos in the south, and then draw our attention there, reducing their pressure when fighting Youzhou." Chen Xi said.
"Are Master Jia and Fengxiao just watching the people in Jizhou making trouble here, and are they not afraid that Sun Bofu will lose his tail after swallowing Jingzhou?" Fazheng asked with some confusion.
Although they can take this opportunity to clean up Xuzhou and completely sink the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, so that they can no longer restrain Xuzhou's military and political affairs.
However, if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were to send troops to Jingzhou, wouldn't it make Sun Ce instantly stronger?
As we all know, Liu Biao, who was hiding in Jingnan, was no match for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
The reason why Liu Biao is still squatting in Jingnan and plotting in Jingbei is just because Zhou Yu wants to use Liu Biao's head to make Sun Ce wake up.
Liu Biao doesn't really think that the only fifty or sixty thousand troops he has left can resist Sun Ce and regain Jingbei, right?
Liu Biao, who fled to Jingnan, had lost all his energy and spirit, and the morale of his army was also low. Whether he could maintain his elite talents was a question.
Oh, by the way, it is unclear whether the Jingzhou army under Liu Biao has elite talents. I don’t know if there is such a thing as maintaining elite talents.
So, if Liu Biao wants to face Zhou Yu, who has already grasped a trace of the essence of elite talent, he will not be far behind.
"It's okay, we will dispatch a partial army anyway when the time comes." Chen Xi said to Fazheng with a smile, but did not give an accurate answer.
"Partial army?" Fazheng looked at the smiling Chen Xi in astonishment, and then remembered that they seemed not to be suitable for large-scale mobilization of troops in recent years.
In Chen Xi's plan, in the next few years, the main tone of Liu Bei's rule will be to develop people's livelihood, rather than to destroy the enemy.
Because Chen Xi, who is in charge of Liu Bei's rule, has already established the royal way, there is no need to start the deceitful mode of supporting war with war to unify the Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Bei's military strength at this time has the ability to suppress the princes from all directions, the other princes are not free.
Moreover, the most important point is that Chen Xi is not sure what kind of combat power the other princes will be able to unleash once the war to unify the Han Dynasty begins.
You must know that the entire unification war in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era was either a comeback in adversity or on the road to being overturned.
Gongsun Zan is like this, Yuan Shao is like this, Cao Cao is like this, and Liu Bei is like this. They were all pushed down from the altar when they were at their strongest, and then watched helplessly as others succeeded in making a comeback in desperate situations. And he fell into the abyss.
Therefore, Chen Xi felt that it was better for him to have a firm hand, lest he also mess up the comebacks from adversity that continued to occur in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.
If it succeeds, it will be a story that will be sung for thousands of years. If it fails, it will be an accident that will be sung for thousands of years.
Although Liu Bei could withstand one, two, or even four or five defeats under his rule, with the foundation created by Chen Xi, Liu Bei's forces could continue to lose until victory came. However, even Chen Xi and Yang Ji could not guarantee that they could decide the outcome in one battle and wipe out all the princes such as Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and others.
If they fail to capture these people in one battle, then Chen Xi, Yang Ji and the others will be waiting for endless security battles and harassment battles, as well as the stubborn princes who sit up repeatedly.
Especially this guy Yuan Shao, if he could not be captured at the first time, this guy Yuan Shao should stay in the headwind super god mode.
Therefore, Chen Xi did not want to unify the Han Dynasty by quickly wiping out the other princes. That would definitely leave countless hidden dangers.
Moreover, what Chen Xi wants is the complete Han Dynasty, including the common people and outstanding people in him. These are the foundation for Chen Xi to control the world in the future.
"Yes, even if we are partial to the army, you also know what our main tone will be in the next few years." Chen Xi nodded and said.
"So unless necessary, we will not take the initiative to participate in large-scale battles." Chen Xi said to Fazheng seriously.
"Even if the northern war starts between Yuan Benchu of Jizhou and Gongsun Bogui of Youzhou, we will not be overly involved. At most, we will send a partial army of 50,000 people." Chen Xi stretched out his finger. He gestured at the concept of a partial army of 50,000 people.
Fazheng looked at the distance held in Chen Xi's hand, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but beat a few times.
A partial army of fifty thousand people? It is indeed a partial army of 50,000 people, but with 50,000 pairs of talented armored soldiers, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other internal Qi separated from the body are the generals, Yang Ji is the commander, Chen Xi, Jia Xu, Li You, Guo Jia and other civil servants are the accompanying military advisors. Fifty thousand partial troops.
Fa Zheng was sure that when Chen Xi was promoting that he would not send troops on a large scale, he would definitely form this so-called partial army, and then drag it to the northern battlefield to smash things up.
"Fifty thousand armored soldiers, are you sure they are still partial to the army?" Fazheng said quietly. He did not express his guess. After all, those were fifty thousand pairs of talented super elite soldiers. He didn't know. Did Yang Ji save up?
"Why can't it be considered a partial army? Compared with the 300,000 elite troops under Xuande's account, can't the 50,000 armored soldiers be considered a partial army?" Chen Xi said lazily.
There is a certain difference between elite soldiers and armored soldiers. Elite soldiers are soldiers who have manifested an elite talent, but this is not necessarily true for armored soldiers.
The armored soldiers can be regular soldiers who have not yet manifested the elite talent, or they can be elite soldiers who have manifested one elite talent, or even super elite soldiers who have manifested the effects of two elite talents.
Lu Xun, who was behind Chen Xi, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. What his teacher said was really too exciting.
Fifty thousand armored soldiers can be treated as the main army by the other princes. As a result, Chen Xi only has a quota for the partial army.
【This is an elite army of three hundred thousand! 】Although Lu Xun still didn't know what the elite army represented, the number of three hundred thousand troops alone was enough to amaze Lu Xun.
You must know that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who previously besieged Shucheng, led only 60,000 troops and horses, and their armor rate was not very high.
And among the 60,000 soldiers and horses, more than half of the miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers had to be eliminated. The full strength of the army is no more than 30,000 soldiers.
Although Lu Xun still doesn't know the difference between the elite army and the regular army, he uses the term "elite" to describe it. It must be an army dominated by regular soldiers.
Fazheng sighed. From Chen Xi's lazy tone, he was sure that Yang Ji's side must have started to accumulate super elite soldiers with double talents.
Chen Xi and Yang Ji definitely want to lead this 50,000-strong "biased army" led by Yang Ji or Guan Yu into the key points of the Jizhou Army at a critical point in the battle. Yuan Shao was captured in one fell swoop.
Furthermore, the 50,000-strong partial army just has a certain degree of deterrence to the princes from all directions, but it will not put great pressure on the princes like Yuan Shao.
There is pressure, but a partial army of 50,000 people is not enough to panic a great prince like Yuan Shao.
Even though these 50,000-strong partial army are all armored soldiers, it is not difficult for a great prince like Yuan Shao to deal with them.
They are just soldiers in armor, it’s not like Jizhou can’t show them. Even though it’s leather armor, just tell me if he’s a regular soldier wearing armor!
“Forget it, if you say you are partial to the army, you are still partial to the army. Anyway, we are not the ones who suffer.” Fazheng waved his hands tiredly. It seems that he is still inexperienced, otherwise he would definitely Join Chen Xi's plan.
"Oh, by the way, what were you two doing here just now?" Chen Xi didn't want to discuss the formation of the partial army anymore, and instead asked what Fazheng and Lu Xun were doing on the deck just now.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to see what kind of young man you are interested in, Zichuan." Fa Zheng looked at Lu Xun provocatively.
After meeting Fazheng's provocative eyes, Lu Xun's anger suddenly rose.
"You... rude person!" Lu Xun suppressed his blush, but he could only say such a harmless word.
"Oh, you are quite energetic. Have you recovered? How about we argue again?" Fazheng provoked Lu Xun very arrogantly.
Facing Fazheng's arrogant face, Lu Xun suppressed his blush. He didn't know how to answer Fazheng's words, so he had no choice but to look at Chen Xi.
"Okay, Xiao Nao, you are serious. Why are you competing with an eleven-year-old child?" Chen Xi patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and comforted the excited Lu Xun.
"Eleven years old -" Fazheng lengthened his voice, "I remember that guy Kong Ming had already awakened his spiritual talent when he was twelve years old."
After saying this, Fazheng said Staring at Lu Xun's expression, he wanted to see what Lu Xun's expression would be after he knew Zhuge Liang's existence.
Fazheng knew that Lu Xun did not know what spiritual talent was, because Chen Xi had already taught Lu Xun this knowledge.
What's more, Lu Xun himself came from a noble family, and he must still know about the product of spiritual talent, which is an extremely sublimated product.
Sure enough, as Fazheng thought, when Lu Xun heard that Zhuge Liang had awakened his spiritual talent at the age of twelve, his expression changed from excitement to shock.
Lu Xun subconsciously looked at Chen Xi, wanting to ask Chen Xi whether what Fazheng said was true.
