The number of soldiers and civilians is only limited to the scale of logistics, and it is not fixed!"

"What do you mean by this?" Some people are still confused, such as Yuwen Heita.

"That is to say, if we defeated their 20,000 elites in one battle, but did not break through the opponent's camp." When Gongsun was face to face, someone would naturally explain sincerely. For example, Zhang Liao immediately spoke at this time. "Then they originally had 90,000 soldiers.

After the loss of 20,000, it will not become 70,000, but it will immediately become 80,000 after a slight supplement. In a few dozen days, the soldiers and armor will be ready, and it will be 90,000 again... It is like this time.

Xia Houyuan lost five thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand auxiliary troops in Pubei, and if the camp cannot be broken quickly, the enemy's 300,000 troops will actually soon recover to the same 300,000 troops, but there will be only 5,000 horses missing."

Yuwen Black Otter is still confused.

"The Central Plains has a large population, which is no more limited than the grassland population." Tian Yu couldn't help but interrupt and explained. "You can think of it as your tribe has enough people, but can only afford ten horses, so as long as the horses don't die, they will only die.

For one knight, there are still ten knights in your army!"

Only then did Yuwen Black Otter suddenly realize.

"A boy can be taught." Gongsun suddenly spoke, and he didn't know whether he was praising Tian Yu or Yuwen Heita.

As he spoke, the tent that was originally slightly noisy became quiet for a while, but Gongsun became silent again.

"Then how should this battle be ended?" After a long time, Zhang Liao couldn't help but ask the two military advisors who were sitting still.

He didn't dare to ask Gongsun.

“There are only three ways to end this war.”

It can't be sustained; one is to force forward, let the elite field forces of both sides face off, and defeat the opponent's most elite troops in one battle; the other is..."

"It means to penetrate the local defense chain and attack the opponent's core." Gongsun said. "Penetrate Chenliu and attack Chenjun, and Cao Mengde will die! Because by then he will not be able to raise a hundred thousand soldiers! If he doesn't attack Chenliu, he will die!"

When the battle reaches Shouchun, my brother Xuande will not be able to support his 120,000 troops. At that time, he will either surrender or go to the south of the Yangtze River to make do... However, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao will definitely rely on layers of cities.

, resist constantly and try to avoid fighting! In this case, a head-on decisive battle may not be possible; if you want to penetrate Chen Liu, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"Then what should we do?" Tian Yu asked carefully.

"Of course we are advancing while seeking a decisive battle, what else can we do?" Gongsun sneered. "Do we have to waste it? If it takes three to five years, believe it or not, the whole world will be ruined! Even if it only takes one year,

Year, there is no way a famine will come, because all the people in the Central Plains of Hebei have lost their savings, and more than 100,000 people have died!"

All the generals were in awe.

"Of course, pushing forward and forcing a decisive battle will require you." Gongsun suddenly laughed again, but stood up and walked towards the tent, causing the whole tent to become nervous. "Cao Mengde has 70,000 soldiers and 70,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The fighting troops are concentrated in the Pushui camp, and the auxiliary troops are deployed in the surrounding cities to provide support. We now have nearly 90,000 troops in Pubei... If I go to attack him and he defends it, it is equivalent to facing 120,000 troops.

The crowd may not be able to win, and there is no chance that he will find a gap behind him to cut off the food path. But on the other hand, if he comes to attack me, he can only attack me with a crowd of 70,000, and I will use 50,000 steps.

With the soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary troops, it will be enough to occupy the city and defend it by the water! So...Zibo!"

Lou Gui, who had been silent until now, immediately stood up.

"I have had some discussions with the two military advisors before, and I am even going to leave all the infantry to you... Let you guard the camp here for me, and the commander-in-chief Xu Huang, Zhang Jiao, Gao Shun, guard the Pu River!"

Gongsun turned around in the middle of the tent and said, "Then I will personally lead all 40,000 cavalrymen around Sizhou to attack behind Cao Mengde! What do you think?"

Everyone cheered up. At this time, there was Sizhou on the flank to rely on!

"Our army's advantage lies in the cavalry. It is naturally feasible to bypass Sizhou." Lou Gui responded in a deep voice. "But how far do you intend to bypass, my lord?"

"It doesn't have to be too far. Just enter Sizhou, walk to Zhongmou, and attack Chenliu directly!" Gongsun replied casually. "What do you think?"

This Chenliu must refer to Chenliu City where Chenliu County is governed by Chenliu County, not Chenliu County.

Lou Gui is from Nanyang and is quite familiar with the geography here. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized: "Is the Lord going to leave Guandu?"

Gongsun was suddenly startled: "Guandu?"

"To leave Zhongmou and attack Chenliu... we must go to Guandu." Lou Gui responded sternly. "The Pu River and Ji River meet in the upper reaches, and there is also Wuchao Lake to the west of the Pu River junction. The water rises in summer, and the lord wants to avoid it.

When the main force of Cao Cao's army moves to Zhongmou, whether he wants to attack Chenliu to the east or Yingchuan to the south, he can only skip the intersection of Wuchaoze and Puji, cross the river from further upstream, and then cross the chasm to Shangguandu... In fact,

I have been thinking that if my lord hadn't made a surprise attack first and disrupted the opponent's plan, otherwise Cao Cao would have set up a formation at Guandu first to strangle Sizhou to the south of Cheng Zhen, because that is the strategic point at the junction of Sizhou and Yanzhou, and the first critical point outside Hulao Pass.

"

Gongsun was thoughtful.

I am the thoughtful dividing line

"Taizu has been in control of the sea, and the barbarians are ugly. When he marches and uses troops, he mostly follows the methods of Sun and Wu. He devises surprises according to the situation and deceives the enemy to win. He changes like a god. When things happen, he uses his hands to control the situation, and those who follow the order can overcome it.

If you are quick, those who violate the teachings will be defeated. If you are facing off with the captives, you will feel at ease, as if you don't want to fight. However, when the decisive opportunity comes to seize the victory, your momentum will be overflowing. Therefore, every battle will be defeated, and the army will not be lucky to win. If you use force throughout your life, you will never be able to defeat anyone.
