Chapter 390 (1/2)
Liu Ye looked dignified: ”yes, more than 30000 prisoners are strong men. Once our army is faced with a disadvantage, they turn against the enemy and do great harm. Let Guan Hai lead a thousand cavalry to escort them back.”
Looking at the map, Jia Xu said, ”Xuhe's army is stationed in Puyang, Yanzhou's administrative office. It's no more than three days' journey away from suanzao. Under his indignation, Xu he is likely to order the army to speed up, that is to say, our army will have a decisive battle with Xuhe in a few days.”
”Judging from the strength of Sima Ji, Xu he's troops should at least exceed 100000. Our army is only 24000. The gap between our troops and the enemy should be more than four times, and it is likely to be far more than that.”
”From the perspective of Xu, our army must not deal with the enemy in the field as it did against Sima fear, but to defend the city, consume the enemy's spirit, and then wait for the opportunity to go out to battle.” Jia Xu's right way.
Liu Ye nodded and agreed with Jia Xu's strategy, but frowned: ”Wenhe, Gongda made a deal with me before he left. He had already taken the next year's harvest of our army as a guarantee and borrowed food from the rich families in Guanzhong as a military force. However, it can support three months at a full scale. Now it has been half a month. In other words, if our army can't solve Xu He within two and a half months, it will have to wait until next year. ”
Jia Xu said, without saying a word, just staring at the map and thinking hard.
Millions of people, 100000 troops...
”yes
Suddenly, Jia Xu called out excitedly and laughed.
Liu Ye's face changed: ”Wenhe, what's the best plan? Come quickly.”
Jia Xu said with a smile, ”general, what do you think is Xu he's biggest weakness?”
Liu Ye frowns, thinking, Xu he swept the Central Plains, known as a million people, strong forces. Moreover, he has broken numerous cities in Yanzhou, and has obtained weapons and armor from the arsenals of various cities in Yanzhou. The disadvantage of incomplete equipment has also been solved. Moreover, he comes in a fierce manner with high morale...
all of a sudden, Liu Ye has a flash of light in his mind, as if he has thought of something.
”Food and grass?”
Jia Xu affirmed: ”yes, our army's weakness lies in grain and grass, and so does Xu he's army.”
”Our army is short of food and grass, so we have to fight and make a quick decision. Although Xu Hejun has taken the grain and grass from all over Yanzhou as his own, the food and grass consumed by the 100000 army every day is astronomical.”
Jia Xu's eyebrows rose and his eyes were bright: ”Xuhe's headquarters must have a lot of grain and grass supply every day. There must be a place for grain and forage transportation in Yanzhou. If our army can analyze the transportation place of the enemy's army's grain and grass, and send surprise troops to attack and burn the enemy's food and grass, Xuhe's army can be said to have collapsed without fighting!”
Liu Ye nodded, but he said, ”but our army does not know where the enemy's grain and forage transportation is located, and there must be heavy troops to guard it.”
Jia Xu was a secret smile: ”general, our army has defeated 50000 yellow turban thieves today. As long as we change our faces, can the enemy still be vigilant?”
Liu Ye has some understanding: ”you mean, send a strange soldier to put on the yellow scarf thief's clothing, after finding the enemy's food and grass, display the surprise attack, can receive the magic skill.”
”Yes, Zhou Shen is the general of the yellow scarf thief. You can ask him first. Even if Zhou Shen doesn't know, he can lead the way.”
Liu Ye hesitated: ”if you are careful this week, it will be dangerous to lead a surprise attack on the granary of the Yellow turban thief.”
