588 Pre-expansion meeting 2

After hearing this, Mr. Hua Tuo smiled slightly and looked at Zhang He and said, "General Zhang, don't worry, we have prepared all kinds of sufficient medicines for the army to go to war, especially for the dysentery, insect bites, snake bites and various tropical diseases in tropical places. We have done a lot of investigation and research, and have also developed a lot of medicines. These are all preparations for the army's overseas conquest. And they are very well prepared to meet the needs of the army."

As soon as Hua Tuo finished speaking, Ma Jun immediately added: "We have also developed new combat weapons based on jungle combat, which can be adapted to any environment and geographical combat use. There are many daily equipment, clothing, armor, and food on soldiers, which can meet the various needs of the army."

Chen Qun, the Minister of Personnel, has been very attentive since he took office, and has made the entire organizational structure, appointment of officials, and assessment of officials in an orderly manner, which also reassures Lu Ning. Chen Qun's specialty is the reform of the administration of officials and the local governance is also a good player. He is now a powerful figure, and officials are very afraid of him. He has rarely participated in military meetings in recent years. Since he has participated, he has to express his worries and thoughts in his heart. This is the responsibility that his subordinates should fulfill.

Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "Lord, I don't object to sending troops overseas, and I also support it. But the defense within the jurisdiction is more important. This is our foundation and our base camp. There must be no mistakes. Our army has long taken down the Far East and Far North areas, but its territory is much larger than other princes. On the surface, our army's military strength is stronger than other princes, but its territory is really large, many times that of other princes. Our army's military strength is also large and scattered. In this way, the military strength used for defense is still too weak, not stronger than other princes.

Once attacked, our army does not have much mobile force to mobilize, and it will be too late to wait for the troops from other places to arrive. Especially Cao Cao in Xuchang, who is a treacherous hero. As long as he has the chance, Cao Cao will definitely send troops. On the surface, he is very kind to our army and dare not have any inappropriate thoughts about our army. But when he is given a chance, Cao Cao will never let him go. Cao Cao is the first prince to solve our army. It is recommended to eliminate Cao Cao first and then send troops to other places."

Chen Qun's words represent the ideas of many military personnel, including General Secretary Guo Jia, the same idea. They all think that Cao Cao is too dangerous, and this person will pose a huge threat to the jurisdiction in one day. If Cao Cao is solved now, it should be said that there will be no great difficulties, and it will indeed be able to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

But Lu Ning had a strange idea and thought that he would let Cao Cao go first, and let him lead his troops to clean up other princes, and then fight with Cao Cao so that he would not have to fight one prince or one prince. As long as Cao Cao was finally solved, the problem would be completely solved. Taking advantage of this period of time, sending troops overseas to conquer is what the country and nation hoped.

After hearing this, Xu Huang also agreed very much and immediately said, "Lord, I think Cao Cao should be solved first. Cao Cao is really a treacherous hero, and his ability is really great. In the past two years in Donglai, although I have not had much contact with Cao Cao's army, I still have a clear understanding of them. In addition to Cao Cao's ability to cause some trouble to our army, no matter what the princes in the world can make a difference. In order to avoid Cao Cao's army becoming bigger in the future, I also agree to eliminate Cao Cao first. As long as Cao Cao is eliminated, our army's defense will be much easier, and there is no need to worry about many problems such as military strength."

Ju Su has always supported the solution to Cao Cao first. He felt that Cao Cao was always taking advantage of loopholes and preventing him at all times. It would be better to destroy him first. "Lord, Cao Cao has now taken Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou that he had occupied originally, and now has four states in his hands! If our army did not take advantage of Sizhou indiscriminately, then Cao Cao's army's strength is even stronger. Although Xuzhou was plotted by our army during his occupation, he deceived most of the people in Xuzhou, he still had more than one million people. In addition, the population of more than one million in Qingzhou, the population under Cao Cao's system increased by more than two million.

The lost Sizhou had no population at all, and it had little impact on him. Cao Cao's strength did grow too fast, and the population under his command should exceed five million. The army under Cao Cao also reached about 400,000, which was comparable to our army, but there was a difference in individual capabilities. However, the troops used for defense by our army are still very limited. Once we send troops overseas, we will definitely be invaded by Cao Cao's army. At present, Cao Cao must first solve Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. As long as Wancheng is taken down, he will have multiple choices. It is possible to send troops to Jingzhou, Huainan, and Hanzhong. If there is a problem with our army's defense line, Cao Cao will definitely attack our army. For this reason, I suggest solving the Cao Cao problem first."

Zhang Liao fought several battles in Jiangnan in recent years, made considerable breakthroughs, and occupied some territory. Now he has an army of 50,000 and has long wanted to send troops to attack Sun Ce of Jiangdong. But the consensus reached by his elder brother and Sun Xiang promised not to send descendants to Jiangdong within three years, which made Zhang Liao very depressed. If the Jiangdong problem is not solved, Jingzhou will not be able to solve it. Only by first solving Jiangdong can Jingzhou be completely solved.

Since Sun Ce from Jiangdong is not moved, Yuan Shu from Huainan can always go on an expedition. "Lord, our army has 50,000 troops in Jiangnan, so we can't be idle all the time. Since our army does not solve Sun Ce for the time being, it is better to solve Yuan Shu! As long as our army destroys Yuan Shu, it will be a threat to Cao Cao. Once our army solves Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's army will be surrounded by three sides of our army, and can send troops to eliminate him at any time. From the entire battle situation, it is imperative to solve Yuan Shu. Of course, Hanzhong is also a key point, and it must be solved as soon as possible."

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Guo Jia and Lu Ning looked at each other and smiled. Guo Jia immediately replied: "General Zhang, Yuan Shu's problem must be solved as soon as possible. This is something that the lord has decided long ago. As for the timing issue, you can follow the orders. It is estimated that the army in your hands will go out to move your body."

Zhang Liao was so happy that he could fight immediately after hearing this. How could he not be excited? "Mr. Xie, General Xie."

Gao Shun has been away from Jinyang City for some days. In the past two years, he has basically trained the 100,000 Marines and 30,000 naval soldiers on Yidao. During the training, he and Jiang Qin also eliminated the Luzon Islands of all sizes and put them in their pockets. They have made great achievements in this regard. Since following Lu Ning, Gao Shun has fully utilized his strengths and made countless military achievements for Lu Ning. His role is no smaller than that of any general. Most of the soldiers in Lu Ning's army were trained by Gao Shun. Gao Shun also made immortal contributions in the conquest on the northern grasslands.

Gao Shun also said: "Lord, Chief, our army's 100,000 Marines and 30,000 Navy soldiers on Yidao have been trained and can go on a war at any time. However, when sending troops to fight overseas, we must be mentally prepared for the hard work of jungle warfare. Jungle warfare is not as simple as we imagined, it is very difficult. In combat, there will be countless difficulties and unpredictable situations. Jungle warfare not only fights against enemy soldiers, but also fights against climate, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, wild beasts, tigers and other animals. Our army encountered too many unexpected situations when sending troops to attack Luzon Island, which caught us off guard and lost many soldiers. Now I feel distressed when I think about it. It is caused by our lack of careful preparations before the war."
