"The problem of the veterans is the main problem to be solved this time, because if those soldiers are idle for a long time, they will sooner or later cause huge damage to the people. As for the rest, it is all about the allocation of materials. ¡ø¡à" Jia Xu said calmly, the veteran's The problem is the big problem.
"Has the deployment of military supplies been completed?" Chen Xi asked.
"There are 7,000 crossbows and 12,000 bows and arrows. All the archers who have been selected for the past three years are in place." Jia Xu nodded and said, "There is still a gap of 30,000 horses. I have given up on this aspect. "More than 94,000 military weapons and equipment have been deployed, of which about 35,000 will be kept in reserve."
"There are eight thousand Changges, of which two thousand are kept in reserve. Eight thousand thick-backed assault knives are kept in spare. It is estimated that three thousand are kept in spare. There are 45,000 thin-edged machetes, of which 11,000 are estimated to be kept in spare. There are 5,700 shields, 700 of which are expected to be kept, and 39,000 small round shields, of which 9,000 are expected to be reserved." Jia Xu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"The lack of 30,000 horses means that we don't have many cavalry at all, right?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "Okay, this is not a big deal."
"This is not a big deal." Liu Bei agreed weakly, hiding his face. From the beginning, he had no hope in the cavalry. After all, they did not produce horses here.
Xu Shu listened with great interest and effectively estimated the current military strength of Mount Tai.
"Master Jia, may I ask how many qualified archers and crossbowmen there are in Mount Tai now?" Xu Shu asked curiously.
"Yuanzhi doesn't have to be like this, just call me Wenhe." Jia Xu narrated expressionlessly, "As for qualified archers and crossbowmen. Since the selection of such arms is difficult and consumes a lot of money, the disadvantages are too obvious. , so even with Taishan's wealth, there are only less than 15,000 qualified archers."
Xu Shu secretly smacked his tongue. Archers have very high requirements for arm strength and eyesight. It is much more troublesome to train a qualified archer than an excellent sword and shield player. Moreover, although archers are used well and have amazing results after they are established, it is undeniable that pure The shortcomings of the archer unit are too obvious.
"In terms of materials, the first transportation transfer has been carried out on the official road. The first batch of three-month supplies for the army has begun to be delivered. It is expected that before our army arrives in Yanzhou to launch the attack. The first batch of grain and grass can basically be successfully delivered." Xu continued to speak.
"It's not good, it's not bad either." Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "Is Zijing under great pressure at the front? Is it necessary to transfer Zilong to Linyi first? Did Xu You take the opportunity to launch an attack?"
"Both our army and Yuan Shao's army in Yanzhou are relatively restrained. The previous large-scale, legion-level wars have stopped, and they are only conducting tentative scout engagements." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Our army's advantage does not count. It¡¯s too obvious, but Yuan Shaojun has been completely suppressed in Linyi.¡±
"After all, Zijing can still command an army. Although Xu You has good intelligence, it is difficult for others to command an army. Even with the help of the Lu brothers, he cannot be Zijing's opponent." Chen Xi said with a smile. He is still confident in Lu Su's command of the army. From a certain perspective, he is not a pure counselor like himself and Guo Jia. He can also be regarded as a commander-in-chief.
"Similarly, the situation on Fengxiao's side has not been very good recently. Tian Feng and Guo Jia have fought several times after both sides lost their generals at the same time. According to Fengxiao, without Yan Liang, Yuan Shaojun has no ability to unite the troops. Slumping, but actually better in certain encounters." Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei and asked.
"Isn't Gongxi a match for Tian Feng?" Chen Xi frowned.
Then Chen Xi remembered the situation of Tian Feng and Ju Shou, nodded silently and said, "That's right. Among the civil servants under Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and Ju Shou are both excellent civil servants who can overwhelm them. Such people must use their own strength. Advantages, the best way is to do it yourself.¡±
"I'm afraid Yuan Shao also knows that the two of them are more suitable as commanders, but there is always a certain amount of fear. In other words, Tian Feng and Jushu don't want Yuan Shao to worry about their abilities, so they hide it deliberately." Jia Xu nodded and said. , after all, Ju Shou used the Xuanxiang Formation to block Gongsun Zan before, but then he retreated behind the scenes. I am afraid that he did mean to keep a low profile and bide his time.
"Does Jiyin need to send reinforcements?" Liu Bei thought for a moment and said.
"This is not necessary. Although Fengxiao is not able to unite the army, his strategy is first-class. Tian Feng can only be said to be suppressing. Besides, there is no point in sending people under the current situation. To suppress Tian Feng's military strength, our army It's just a handful of people, so it's better to let Feng Xiao drag him along." Chen Xi shook his head and ignored Guo Jia at all.
"Where are you, Wen He?" Liu Bei turned to look at Jia Xu and asked.??.
"The same is true for me. It would indeed be a perfect match if General Guan was sent there, but now it is no longer suitable. It would be better to wait until our army's Northern Expedition before talking about anything else. Now that Jizhou and the state have come to report, Yuan Shao has begun large-scale mobilization The implication of commanding troops is probably self-evident." Jia Xu calmly agreed with Chen Xi's suggestion without thinking too much.
"It seems that the heroes see the same thing." Liu Bei laughed.
"Yuan Benchu." Chen Xi sighed and said, silently thinking of the Yuan Shao he met at Hulao Pass. He was really a model for the world, and he had been extremely heroic from Hulao to now.
"I'm very curious about what his expression will be like when he sees me." Chen Xi suddenly laughed.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Our army's Northern Expedition will be determined in another seven days. You will know when you follow me to the front of the formation to ask questions. I also want to see the difference between the current leader and the original leader. After Hulao Pass, I have never followed anyone, nor have I joined anyone's alliance. Now that I think about it, it's really a miracle." Liu Bei raised his glass and toasted to Chen Xi with a smile.
"Our road cannot allow anyone to have the slightest deviation. Every step we take is very difficult. Looking back on many times it was extremely difficult, but now it is finally time to reap the rewards." Chen Xi said with a sigh.
"I have not experienced that period of time, but I have seen too many things about this aspect in the handwriting that Taishan sent to me, but I am glad that I was not late." Xu Shu slowly stood up and picked up the wine glass. Drink it all in one gulp.
When Xu Shu entered Mount Tai, he stopped under the city gate. Not only was he timid, he was also a little worried that he was not enough for Liu Bei's requirements. When Liu Bei left Yingchuan, there were only two scholars following him, one of whom was Liu Bei. Chen Zichuan, who is now famous all over the world, and the other one is Xu Yuanzhi.
