Chapter 1019: Liu Bowen, who rules the world
Chapter 1019 Unify the world Liu Bowen
Chapter 1017: Liu Bowen to dominate the world
After hearing Qin Hao's question, Liu Bowen subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, and all the generals couldn't help but shudder when they saw this.
Appeared. When a military strategist plots against others, he will always show this sinister expression, and every time the opponent is destined to be in bad luck!
Liu Bowen obviously didn't know that the generals would complain about him so much. Instead, he said with a smile: "As long as our army doesn't push them too hard, the hidden dangers within the Allied Forces of South China will break out sooner or later, so you can ignore them for the time being." coalition forces.
Our army can divide the frontline army into two. One part will defend the newly acquired territory, and the other part will go south to completely expel the Liang army from Sizhou. At the same time, send envoys to alienate the alliance of the southern princes, and promote the outbreak of conflicts among the southern princes. .
If the conflict between the princes of Binnan is successfully detonated, the coalition forces of Binnan will be disbanded, and they will definitely kill each other, and will no longer pose a threat to our army.
Even if it does not detonate the conflict between the princes of Binnan, it does not matter. Wang Mang's exhausting efforts to remedy the situation may be able to alleviate its internal conflicts. Once the rift of suspicion occurs, it will not be so easy to recover, and the coalition forces of Binnan will no longer trust each other. , then naturally there will be no way to interfere with our army and expel the Liang army.
As long as the Liang army is completely expelled from Sizhou, our army can concentrate its strength to deal with the Bingnan Allied Forces. By then, the Bingnan Allied Forces will be unable to support them alone and will be destroyed by our army sooner or later. "
Liu Bowen talked about his plan in a leisurely manner, and after finishing speaking, all the generals took a breath.
Once Liu Bowen's strategy is implemented, no matter what the final result is, the Qin army will win in the end.
Liu Bowen has calculated all possibilities. Even if the opponent knows that there is a pit ahead, no matter how hard he hides, he is destined to fall into another pit. This is simply a naked conspiracy.
The seemingly powerful Bingnan Alliance Army was naked in front of Liu Bowen. All the weaknesses were seen through at a glance and disintegrated in a few words, and there was no room for it. This made the Qin army attack Liu Bowen. I am completely in awe of his vision and strategy.
Faced with a wise man like Wang Mang, he can be counted on to death without giving him any chance to resist. The military advisor is so awesome! The generals of the Qin army thought so in their hearts.
Qin Hao was naturally overjoyed after hearing this. In fact, after being reminded, he already had a plan in mind, but it was far less comprehensive than Liu Bowen's plan.
Liu Bowen, the man who unified the world, truly deserves his reputation!
Qin Hao was just about to praise Liu Bowen, but Su Dingfang on the side stopped and said: "The military counselor's plan is indeed very clever, but there are only 90,000 troops on the front line now. If we divide the troops into two groups and implement the strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the west, I am afraid that the number of troops will be very low." It’s a bit weak.”
Su Dingfang’s question also hit the point.
The Qin army in Sizhou only had a total of 130,000 troops. Xue Rengui led 20,000 troops in Hedong, Bai Qi led 70,000 troops in Hanoi, and Qin Hao personally led 20,000 troops to guard Luoyang.
In addition, Xu Huang led 5,000 troops to garrison Hulao Pass. Guan Sheng and Xun Yu led 10,000 troops and 60,000 Liang army prisoners of war to garrison the Yique Pass site and be responsible for rebuilding Yique Pass.
Originally, Guan Sheng had only 5,000 troops, but considering the management of 60,000 Liang army prisoners of war, Qin Hao later sent an additional 5,000 troops to Guan Sheng and Xun Yu.
Excluding these troops, the Qin army only had five thousand spare troops, which were scattered among other counties in Sizhou. There was no extra troops to send.
Because the coalition forces attacked Luoyang too harshly before, and the Liang army destroyed all the defense facilities when they abandoned the city, the Qin army later maintained Luoyang's defenses, but it was clear that the defense would not be able to return to its peak in the short term. period.
Luoyang is a very large city. Although the city walls are thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it requires at least 20,000 troops to support its defense capabilities. Therefore, before gaining an absolute advantage, Luoyang's Twenty thousand troops and horses must not be mobilized. Although the Qin army has a large number of troops, if it wants to deal with the Liang army first, it can only divide Bai Qi's army. Most of them will be led by Bai Qi to go to Yewang, while a small army will continue to garrison in Hanoi.
The 40,000 Liang troops in Yewang City are obviously not easy to deal with. Even Bai Qi needs at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops. This means that Hanoi may only have 10,000 garrison troops.
Can it really be possible to secure Hanoi with only 10,000 troops? It should be noted that if one line of defense is lost, the whole game will be lost!
Su Dingfang's words also made Qin Hao frown slightly, and muttered: "The military strength is a bit tight. I thought that 130,000 troops were enough, but now it seems that it is still a bit short!"
“Lord, how about we also expand our army? Most of Sizhou’s best troops are in the hands of our army. If he can expand his army, so can we.”
Li Cunxiao stood up and spoke, and this statement was recognized by the generals. After all, as a general, who doesn't want to expand the army, and the situation of the Qin army is much better than that of Bingnan, so expanding the army will not be a big burden.
“It’s just nonsense. Expanding the army is child’s play.”
Qin Hao glared at Li Cunxiao and said angrily: "Can the expansion of our army be the same as that of Wang Mang? How much is the pay for the soldiers of Bingnan? How much is the pay for the soldiers of our Qin army? Besides, can those recruited by the expansion of the army before the war be called soldiers? That's just It’s just common people with weapons, it doesn’t make any difference at all.”
Li Cunxiao smiled and retreated a little embarrassed. He only thought about the benefits of expanding the army, but ignored the treatment of Qin soldiers.
The soldiers of the Qin Army not only have the highest military pay among the princes, but also receive pensions if they are killed or disabled in battle. The cost of raising one Qin Army soldier is enough to support five Bingnan soldiers.
After rejecting Li Cunxiao's proposal to follow suit and expand the army, Qin Hao immediately asked Liu Bowen: "I don't know if there is a problem with military strength. I wonder if the military advisor has a solution?"
Liu Bowen smiled indifferently, shook his feather fan lightly, and said calmly: "My lord, our army still has tens of thousands of ready troops, but I don't know if my lord dares to take the risk of using them?"
When the generals heard this, they were confused. The Qin army clearly had no troops to mobilize, so how could it have tens of thousands of ready-made troops?
Qin Hao's eyes flashed, but then he frowned and asked, "The military advisor is talking about reorganizing Liang Army prisoners of war?"
"That's right, the Liang Army prisoners of war who rebuilt Yique Pass are all the best soldiers. Even if they are captured for so long, their morale is very low, but with a little training, their combat power is still higher than that of the Union Army. ”
Qin Hao shook his head and said: "But all the men in Xiliang respect Dong Zhuo. Even if they are willing to surrender and allegiance, there is no guarantee that he will not..."
At this point, Qin Hao suddenly realized that Dong Zhuo was dead.
