Chapter 861

After careful analysis, Guo Jia found that it was not only geyang that had troops mobilized, but also many counties in Lujiang and Jiujiang counties had troops mobilized in recent days, especially in several counties around Shouchun. Yesterday, 2000 soldiers were sent to Shouchun.

According to this information, Guo Jia knew that Yuan Shu was really deploying troops to enrich Shouchun's troops. However, these were all expected by Guo Jia. He just didn't know how many new troops he would recruit after some soldiers were deployed in each city. If Yuan Shu made a single bet and let each city recruit troops, it would not be good news for the Anton army.

On the one hand, it will increase the casualties of both sides; on the other hand, it will be quite unfavorable for the Anton army to control Lujiang County in the future. A large number of recruits will lead to a large reduction of the strength of the rule, which will greatly reduce the grain production. Moreover, the casualties after the war should be appeased by Anton's army, otherwise Anton's army would never really control Lujiang.

But now the plan is to arrange the army to attack the cities of Lujiang as soon as possible, so that they have no time to train the new recruits too much.

Considering that it will take time for the army to cross the river, Huangfu Chaobo decided to gather the generals to discuss the matter and decide on the plan of sending troops. After all the troops crossed the river, he arranged for all the troops to go out to battle while taking a rest.

Soon, the generals of all the armies rushed to Huangfu Chaobo's account. As for the players, they sent two representatives to participate.

After everyone was seated, Huang Fu Chao said: "after careful deployment and comprehensive arrangement, with the full cooperation of General Huang and general Zhou and the hard work of the soldiers, we finally set foot on the land of Huainan."

Speaking of this, he stopped for a moment and then said: "stepping on Huainan means that the war will officially begin, so the first thing we need to do is to step on the springboard firmly, so that we can slowly implement the strategy behind."

With that, Huang Fu Chao Bo explained the information he had collected and the results of his discussions with the two military advisers one by one. After listening to him, all the people with a happy face began to calm down.

It's true that last year's army fought in Runan, which also has the advantages of geographical and human harmony. On the one hand, the southern part of Runan is within the scope of Yuzhou, and people in Yuzhou are familiar with the terrain of Runan. On the other hand, the Yuzhou army and Anton army are recognized by the people in southern Runan. In addition, the local garrison of Yuan Shu army is basically local The new recruits are mainly garrisons, and their combat power is not satisfactory. That's why last year's situation was favorable.

But now it's different. The two counties of Yangzhou were under Yuan Shu's command. It's been several years since Yuan Shu attacked Luoyang in 191. The people have recognized the rule of Yuan Shu's army, but their army has become an invader.

Another point is that although the soldiers in Lujiang cities are also guards, they are different from those in Runan who recruit only one or two years old soldiers. There are thousands of veteran soldiers in each city. In addition, there are an unknown number of new recruits. It will be very difficult for the army to attack the city.

Of course, the difficulty does not mean that we can't attack, but that we need to pay a great loss of troops. Fortunately, since Yuan Shujun took control of Lujiang, there has been no war for several years. There should be a lot of things in each city. I hope there will be a lot of harvest.

According to Huangfu Chaobo, crossing the river is the first step. The second step is to stand on the South Bank of the Huaihe River. The third step is to consider going south to the southeast of Lujiang River. When Lujiang River is basically under control, we finally consider fighting with Yuan Shujun. By that time, the other two armies must have entered the hinterland of Jiujiang.

With these words, Huangfu Chaobo handed over the next arrangements to Pang Tong, commander of the left army. Now many of the pre war arrangements of the Anton army are basically made by him or Xu Shu.

"You generals, the quickest time for our 150000 troops to cross the river is tomorrow afternoon. After discussion, we decided that the army would not continue to wait for all the follow-up troops to arrive. From tomorrow on, General Huang Zhong will lead the rest 60000 troops to attack the southern county of Panguo."

"According to the information collected, the county seat of cuguo is the residence of general Le Jiu of Yuan Shu army. He has 5000 soldiers in the city, plus 1000 soldiers gathered back from here a few days ago, as well as 5000 garrison soldiers in the city, with a total of more than 11000 troops. Of course, these are the information of a few days ago. As for the cities under the rule of Yuan Shu army, soldiers and horses have been mobilized these days I don't know for the moment whether there are new recruits in yuejiu. "

"After the capture of CHO state, we will decide on the arrangement of separate attacks according to the situation. Moreover, after the capture of CHO, we will be able to get better information from the prisoners about the rest of the cities. "

At this point, Pang Tong stopped talking about it. Originally, they had already discussed the division of troops. However, after Yuan Shujun's troops were transferred, the situation of the troops in each city changed. So without knowing the distribution of troops, Pang Tong decided not to tell everyone about the plan first, but just asked to capture the state of Chu first, and then arrange the other cities according to the situation war.

Seeing that Pang Tong had finished, Huangfu Chaobo stood up and said, "how many soldiers and horses have crossed the river now?"Seeing this, Shi a quickly got up and replied: "apart from the guards around the Lord, the rest of the soldiers and horses that have crossed the river are general Huang Wudi's Huben camp and Wang Yong's Shenwu camp, as well as the soldiers and horses of four schools of Jianwu camp and two schools of Fenwu camp of Yuzhou army, and 10000 soldiers and horses of Yuzhou army's guard camp. It's about 80000 troops. "

"That is to say, nearly half of the army has not yet crossed the river. From now on, we will order a floating bridge to be vacated for the soldiers who are willing to cross the river tomorrow." Huang Fu Chao Bo Lue said thoughtfully,

"no, I will arrange it right away." Shi yingdao;

"which troops will General Huang Zhong prepare to fight tomorrow?"

"In addition to Huben camp, there are Jianwu camp and Fenwu camp of Yuzhou army, ten thousand garrison troops and ten thousand troops of alien lords, Yuanrong crossbow troops of the Lord's guard army, and the rest of the troops can be divided into camp and floating bridge." Huang Zhong thought for a moment, then got up to reply;

Huang Fu Chao Bo thought for a moment, there are 40000 soldiers, 10000 guards, 10000 players, plus 5000 yuan crossbow soldiers of his own guards and 5000 Turkistan cavalry patrolling outside, which is enough for 70000 troops. So he nodded his head and agreed to his arrangement, saying: "OK, the soldiers and horses just ordered will be ready for tomorrow's war from now on, and the rest will take over the defense."
