Chapter 806: Yuan Shu’s Army’s Response

This time, after Yuan Shu became emperor, he was the first person he thought of, so he made Ji Ling a general, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops of the Zhong Dynasty.

The territory that Yuan Shu really controlled was only the four counties, but the population under his rule was over four million. Lujiang and Jiujiang in Yangzhou were originally large counties with relatively large populations. In addition, Yuan Shu brought hundreds of thousands of troops and family members from Nanyang, plus the two counties in Xuzhou had a population of more than one million.

The Yuan family was originally a handful in the entire Han Dynasty. With four generations and three princes, nearly two hundred years of accumulation, in the hands of Yuan Shu and others, it can be said that they are as rich as the country. Therefore, although it was divided into two by the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, among them Wealth and connections also allowed Yuan Shu to form nearly half a million troops.

Instead of the more than 300,000 troops that Huangfu Chaobo Shadow Guard knew about, in addition to the 250,000 defenders distributed in nearly 70 cities, these soldiers and horses also have more than 200,000 elites who can be mobilized. It was Yuan Shu's loyalty that dared to challenge the surrounding princes.

Among the more than 200,000 elite soldiers and horses, in addition to the 100,000 most elite soldiers and horses who were guarded by Yuan Shu's Yulin Army outside Shouchun and the surrounding cities, there were more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses who were handed over to the command of his subordinate generals. The other generals had tens of thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands, but Ji Ling alone had as many as fifty thousand troops in his hands all year round, which was enough to show how much Yuan Shu valued him.

Hearing Yuan Shu calling him, Ji Ling quickly stepped out of the queue, walked to the palace, saluted Yuan Shu, and then waited for Yuan Shu's order.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Shu said: "How do you think Aiqing views the various princes sending troops this time?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that when the armies of the princes come to attack this time, our army only needs to pay attention to three armies, Huangfu Chaobo's army, Cao Cao's army and Sun Ce's army. Once these three armies are defeated, the other princes will be insignificant. "

As the number one general under Yuan Shu, he was also Yuan Shu's most loyal subordinate, so even if he didn't agree with Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor, he didn't argue with him. But after getting Yuan Shu's idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor, he began to consider the situation he was about to face.

Therefore, when faced with Yuan Shu's inquiry, he expressed his thoughts.

In Ji Ling's view, although there are several princes around his family, only those few can really pose a threat to his family.

Jiangdong Sun Ce was originally one of his Majesty's generals, but Danyang was a newly occupied territory, and Sun Ce's army had many soldiers from Jiangbei, so the number of soldiers and horses Sun Ce could dispatch was even more limited. Moreover, if Sun Ce sent troops, the purpose would be impossible. It is the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang that have been operating for many years, and it must be the newly acquired Guangling.

Yuan Shujun has been operating the two counties of Yangzhou for many years. Although it cannot be said that his management is average, it is not something that Sun Ce's tens of thousands of troops can defeat. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of Yulin troops around Shouchun. I believe Sun Ce does not have the courage. Come to touch the tiger’s beard.

But Guangling is different. Yuan Shu's army has only been acquired for more than a year. There are many opportunities to take advantage of here. In addition, Shouchun, which is far away from the gathering of large armies, is a soft persimmon for Sun Ce.

Although Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Huangfu Chaobo of Sizhou have strong armies, the two families have always been hostile and it is impossible to attack with all their strength, so the number of troops the two families can send is limited.

Although Yuzhou Kongmin has a large number of troops, his combat power is limited, which can be seen from previous battles with the Yuzhou Army.

In Ji Ling's opinion, the most likely possibility for the Yuzhou Army to send troops is to march together with Huangfu Chaobo's Andong Army and send troops to Runan. Therefore, Ji Ling's idea for the invading enemies was to block them at all levels. At worst, they would lose all the cities in Runan north of the Huai River, but they must be blocked north of the Huai River no matter what.

The situation of Cao Cao's army is the same. Although it has a large territory and a larger population than Yuan Shu, it still has many cities to defend. In addition, Cao Cao is also facing enemies on all sides. In recent years, Cao Cao's army has been engaged in repeated campaigns and has not lost much soldiers and horses. It is small, so the number of soldiers and horses that can actually be used is limited.

In Ji Ling's opinion, the direction of Cao Cao's troops sending troops will most likely be in Xuzhou. You must know that Cao Cao's several troops sent out were all aimed at Xuzhou.

But in the end, he was taken advantage of, so Cao Cao will definitely take this opportunity to send troops to the two counties of Xuzhou so that he can take the entire territory of Xuzhou into his arms.

There is another reason why Cao Cao sent troops to the two southern counties of Xuzhou, and that is Sun Ce. Based on Cao Cao's ability, he can definitely deduce that Sun Ce's goal must be the two counties of Xuzhou that Yuan Shu has not yet completely controlled, so he must capture the two counties of Xuzhou before Sun Ce. The county captured it before.

Ji Ling's analysis made Yuan Shu nod repeatedly. It can be said that although Yuan Shu is a son of a noble family, he can also be called a horse-riding emperor. Although he is not as outstanding as Ji Ling in terms of war, he can still be said to be a good soldier.

After Ji Ling finished speaking, Yuan Shu became more confident and hurriedly said: "If you have any good ideas, please let me know!"

After hearing this, Ji Ling saluted again and said: "In my opinion, this time we send troops, our army can be divided into three groups to fight against three groups of enemies. The enemy on the first group is Sun Ce from Jiangdong. In order to be able to force Sun Ce's army to Guangling, I request your majesty to increase the number of troops in the cities along the north of the Yangtze River. The six cities of Liyang, Xiang'an, Linhu, Juchao, Wanxian and Xunyang have all increased their troops to 10,000."

"In this case, Sun Ce can only send troops to attack Sun Ce's army. I want to personally lead an army of 50,000 to resist the enemy. If I am given two months, I will defeat Sun Ce's army."

After saying this, Ji Ling raised his head and glanced at Yuan Shu on the dragon chair, and saw that he was listening carefully to his strategy, so he continued.

"After I defeat Sun Ce's army, I can lead my troops north and join forces with other generals to fight Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army is the second enemy. According to my speculation, Cao Cao's troops are most likely to be from Xia Pi. Therefore, the troops of Xia Pi must protect the city of Xia Pi before my army arrives, otherwise I will be powerless to save the situation."

"As for the troops of Xia Pi, in my opinion, Xia Pi already has 10,000 defenders, and 40,000 combat troops are enough."

"According to my speculation, Cao Cao's army will send no more than 100,000 troops, and it is possible that the troops will be divided into several routes. And I will lead 40,000 After the troops enter Xiapi, the number of troops in Xiapi will reach 80,000, plus the defenders of Xiapi, there will be a total of 100,000 troops. As long as Cao Cao's army is divided, I can divide and defeat it. "

"At that time, once Cao Cao is defeated, Huangfu Chaobo's army will be unable to support itself."

"Therefore, for the third enemy army of Huangfu Chaobo and Kong Jun, I would like to ask Your Majesty to send a general to lead 50,000 imperial guards and 30,000 troops to defend against the coalition of Huangfu Chaobo and Kong Jun. The army will use the cities of Runan to defend layer by layer, slow down the enemy's speed, and wait for the other two routes to be settled, and the two coalitions will be defeated soon. "
