Chapter 808

This time, after Yuan Shu became emperor, he first thought that it was him, so he appointed Ji Ling as the general, holding tens of thousands of elite troops of the Zhong Dynasty.

Yuan Shu's real control of the territory is only four counties, but its population is enough to four million. Lujiang and Jiujiang in Yangzhou were originally big counties with a large population. In addition, Yuan Shu brought hundreds of thousands of troops and family members from Nanyang, and Xuzhou had a population of more than one million.

The yuan family's original power is very few in the whole Han Dynasty. With the accumulation of four generations, three gongs and nearly two hundred years, Yuan Shu can be said to be as rich as his country. Therefore, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were divided into two brothers, their wealth and contacts also enabled yuan Shu to form nearly 500000 troops.

Instead of the 300000 troops known by Huangfu Chaobo shadow guard, besides the 250000 garrisons distributed in nearly 70 cities, there are more than 200000 elite soldiers who can be mobilized. These soldiers are Yuan Shu's loyalty to challenge the surrounding princes.

Among the more than 200000 elite soldiers and horses, in addition to the 100000 most elite soldiers and horses are Yuan Shu's imperial guards guarding Shouchun and the surrounding cities, more than 100000 elite soldiers are handed over to their generals. Other generals have thousands to tens of thousands of people, but Ji Ling has as many as 50000 troops all the year round, which is enough to show that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to him.

When he heard that Yuan Shu called himself, Ji Ling went out to the palace to salute Yuan Shu, and then waited for Yuan Shu's will.

After a little meditation, Yuan Shu said, "how does Ai Qing look at this time when all the princes sent troops?"

"In reply to your majesty, I think that our imperial army only needs to pay attention to the three routes of troops when it comes to attack this time. Huangfu Chaobo army, Cao Cao army and sun CE army, once these three routes of troops are broken, other vassals are not worth mentioning."

As the number one general under Yuan Shu, he is also the most loyal subordinate of Yuan Shu, so even though he didn't agree with Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, he didn't argue for it. But after he got the idea that Yuan Shu wanted to be emperor, he began to consider the situation he would face later.

Therefore, in the face of Yuan Shu's inquiry, he put his own ideas out of the tray.

In Ji Ling's opinion, although there are several princes around his family, the only ones that can really threaten his family are those,

SUN ce of Jiangdong was originally one of his Majesty's generals, but Danyang is a newly occupied area, and most of sun CE's troops have Jiangbei's soldiers, so the number of soldiers and horses that sun CE can dispatch is more limited. Moreover, if sun CE sends troops, the purpose can't be the future Lujiang and Jiujiang counties, which have been operating for many years, must be the new Guangling.

Yuan Shujun of Yangzhou two counties has been in business for many years. Although it can't be said that the business is like an iron bucket, it's not something that sun CE's tens of thousands of troops can defend. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of royal guards around Shouchun. I believe sun CE doesn't have the courage to touch Hu Xu.

Guangling, on the other hand, is not the same. Yuan Shujun only got it for more than a year, so many opportunities can be found here. In addition, Shouchun, which is far away from the army, is a soft persimmon for sun CE.

Although Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Huangfu Chaobo of Sizhou had strong fighting power, they were always hostile and could not attack with all their strength, so the number of troops they could send was limited.

Although he had a large number of troops, his combat power was limited, as can be seen from his previous battles with the Yuzhou army.

In Ji Ling's opinion, the most possible way for Yuzhou army to send troops is to march together with Anton army of Huangfu Chaobo and send troops to Runan. Therefore, Ji Ling's idea is to block all the invading enemies in this way. It's a big deal to lose all the cities in Runan to the north of huaishui River, but in any case, he must keep them in the north of huaishui river.

The situation of Cao Cao's army is the same. Although the territory is wide and the population is larger than that of Yuan Shu, there are also many cities to defend. In addition, Cao Cao is also facing the enemy on all sides. In recent years, Cao Cao's army has been fighting continuously and the loss of troops and horses is not small, so the number of troops and horses that can really be used is limited.

In Ji Ling's opinion, the direction of Cao Cao's troops will probably be in Xuzhou. You should know that Cao Cao's troops are all aimed at Xuzhou for several times, but in the end he was picked up by his own family. Therefore, Cao Cao will take this opportunity to send troops to two counties in Xuzhou, so as to bring the whole territory of Xuzhou into his arms.

There is another reason why Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou's two southern counties, that is, sun CE. With Cao Cao's ability, it can be inferred that sun CE's goal must be Xuzhou's two counties that Yuan Shu has not yet fully controlled, so he must take them before sun CE takes them.

Ji Ling's analysis made Yuan Shu nod. It can be said that although Yuan Shu was a son of a family, he could also be called a horse emperor. Although Ji Ling is not as outstanding as Ji Ling in war, he can also be said to know soldiers.

After Ji Ling finished, Yuan Shu became more confident and said, "what's your good plan, please tell me together!"

After hearing this, Ji Ling saluted again and said, "in the view of my ministers, our troops can be divided into three routes to meet the three enemies. The first enemy was Sun ce of Jiangdong. In order to force sun CE's army to Guangling, I asked his majesty to increase his troops to the cities along the North Bank of the river, including Liyang, Xiang'an, Linhu, Juchao, Wanxian and Xunyang

"In this way, sun CE can only send out troops. For sun CE's army, Chen wants to lead 50000 troops to resist the enemy personally, and give him two months to defeat sun CE's army."With these words, Ji Ling looked up at Yuan Shu on the Dragon chair, and saw that he was listening to his strategy carefully, so he went on.

"After sun CE's army is broken, he can raise his troops to the north and join forces with other generals to fight against Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army is the second enemy. According to Chen's conjecture, xiapi is the place where Cao Cao sent his troops. Therefore, before Chen's army arrives, they must try their best to protect xiapi City, otherwise they will not be able to return to heaven. "

"As for xiapi's troops, according to Yichen, xiapi already had ten thousand garrison, and forty thousand soldiers were enough."

"Yichen speculated that Cao Cao's troops could not be more than 100000 at most, and there might be a few more. After the minister led 40000 soldiers into xiapi, the number of soldiers in xiapi could reach 80000, plus the garrison of xiapi, there were 100000 troops. As long as Cao Cao's army is divided, I can break it up. "

"When Cao Cao was defeated, the whole army of Huangfu Chaobo was unable to stand alone."

"Therefore, as for the third enemy of the alliance of Huangfu Chaobo and Kongyu, I would like to ask your majesty to send a general to lead 50000 Imperial troops and 30000 soldiers to defend the alliance of Huangfu Chaobo and Kongyu. The army uses the cities of Runan to defend at all levels and slow down the enemy's speed. When the other two routes decide, the two Alliance forces will be broken in no time."
