Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have made no secret of their ambitions for Yangzhou.
Facing the enemy's covetousness, how could Liu Ke be unprepared at all.
With the passage of time, Yangzhou did not have an advantage in military strength. Therefore, what Liu Ke implemented was still the strategy of elite soldiers.
Continuing to expand the army now will not be of much help to Yangzhou.
The structure is too bloated, which is also a disaster.
Liu Ke held a cabinet meeting to discuss the future path of Yangzhou.
"There is no way to mobilize the garrison in Jiaozhou." Jia Xu said, he knew Jiaozhou best.
Liu Ke agreed with this view.
Because the territory is so huge, Liu Ke needs to guard many places.
Not only Jiaozhou, but also the garrison of Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, Liu Ke did not plan to mobilize.
Liu Ke planned to take the initiative from the beginning.
The goal is Yanzhou.
Move the battlefield to the enemy's territory.
As Cao Cao¡¯s base camp, Yanzhou cannot be given up easily. In the past, there was a huge disparity in strength, but now Cao Cao has enough confidence.
"We chose Yanzhou as the battlefield." Liu Kedao.
"My lord, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't let us get what we want." Guo Jiada said.
"Don't be afraid. If Cao Cao sticks to Yanzhou, it will be the best. If he plans to raid other places, he will only lose faster." Liu Kedao.
Because Yangzhou has always been very fast in action.
After all, Yangzhou cavalry is famous all over the world.
Liu Ke also considered the situation where Cao Cao defended Yanzhou and Yuan Shao attacked Qingzhou.
But would Cao Cao really make such a sacrifice?
¡°Moreover, there is no point in occupying some territory without defeating the main force of the Yangzhou Army.
Liu Ke¡¯s strength lies in his army, not some cities.
Except for Dongyang City and the important border towns, the rest of the cities are still the same as before, and Liu Ke would not use them for reinforcements even if he had money.
Therefore, the first goal was to attack Yanzhou and make Cao Cao tired of defense.
The rest of the people did not express any objection.
"Lord, I think we can win over Sun Ce." Lu Su said.
"Sun Ce is strong, but not short-sighted. What's more, he has counselors like Zhou Yu under his command, so he should not be underestimated." Liu Kedao.
"How do you know if you don't give it a try? If we get Sun Ce's help, we will be more stable." Lu Su said.
"My lord, I think this can be done. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both suspicious people, and this move can disrupt their judgment." Xu Shu said.
"Okay, this matter can be put on the agenda. Anyway, we have nothing to lose." Liu Kedao.
Once the separation is successful, it is a great achievement.
"We still have allies we can win over, including Ma Chao and Yuan Shu." Xun You said.
Cao Cao has never stopped thinking about capturing Liangzhou, and Ma Chao must know it.
When Cao Cao mobilizes his troops to Yanzhou, Ma Chao can attack Chang'an.
Of course, Ma Chao must be given some benefits, otherwise he will definitely not take risks.
As for Yuan Shu, Liu Ke was a little confused.
Based on his past stance, he should be on Liu Ke's side.
However, the attacking side also included Yuan Shao.
This is the variable.
" Moreover, Cao Cao must have been prepared after suffering Yuan Shu's losses.
So, what means will he use to deal with Yuan Shu?
Will Yuan Shu fight back?
These are all uncertainties.
"When sending one person as envoy to Liangzhou and one person as envoy to Runan, we must confirm the intentions of Ma Chao and Yuan Shu, especially Yuan Shu. This is related to the deployment of our troops." Liu Kedao.
"My lord, what you said makes sense." Lu Su agreed.
"Actually, we have other allies." Liu Ke said mysteriously.
Everyone is tacitly aware of this.
When the time comes, give Yuan Shao a surprise.
"Jiaozhou needs to guard against Yizhou and Jingzhou. It still lacks troops. Once attacked, it can only rely on the terrain to delay time." Guo Jiadao.
"The probability of Yizhou sending troops is less than 30%, but all variables must be taken into consideration." Liu Kedao, "We in Yangzhou, this time, are going to be enemies of the princes of the world, so we will plan according to this goal. If there are alliesIf you help, you will earn money. "
Everyone agreed that there must be no luck and the key to deciding to decide to the leadership of the allies.
What Liu Ke has to do is to use thunderous momentum to defeat the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. This will lay the foundation for victory.
"This is a diplomatic matter. The most important thing is to rely on us. How is the military training?" Liu Ke asked.
The representative of Tiance Mansion is Zhao Yun, who said: "There is no problem with the main battle corps! It is enough to take on any big battle!"
The main battle corps is only responsible for combat and training around the clock, and does not need to consider other things.
Moreover, the new recruits were drawn from the garrison.
That¡¯s why Zhao Yun is so confident.
Liu Ke was very satisfied.
"The training of the garrison is a bit poor." Xun You admitted.
Liu Ke did not blame him, but waited for Xun You to explain further.
"The weapons and equipment produced in Tieniu City generally give priority to the main battle corps, so the garrison troops can only be capable, and the effect is not particularly obvious." Xun You said.
Liu Ke suddenly expanded his army to nearly 400,000, and Tieniu City was certainly too busy.
As far as Liu Ke knows, in order to rush to manufacture weapons and equipment, Li Gandang has arranged to work overtime, almost two shifts.
For the sake of the craftsman¡¯s health, Liu Ke did not dare to continue to force him.
"There is still some time. When the war starts, the equipment will be in place." Liu Kedao.
"The garrison is already training alternately and will not be held back," Xun You said.
"My lord, many big merchants from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce are willing to donate military expenses. What do you think?" Lu Su said.
The cost of a war involving millions of people is not a trivial matter.
With Yangzhou¡¯s finances, it is also necessary to borrow money from banks to ensure the progress of the war.
Yangzhou¡¯s finances are expected to be able to support it for half a year, and with loans, it will not be a problem to support it for one year.
However, once the war is delayed for two or three years, Yangzhou will definitely be dragged down.
Therefore, taking advantage of the current strong situation, it is very necessary to harvest a wave of leeks.
But how to collect money quietly involves a question of wisdom.
With the nature of this kind of donation, the gains will definitely not be too much.
Liu Ke thought for a while and had a plan in mind.
"Military expenses are still needed. Tell all the merchants in the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce to donate 100,000 yuan and you can get a place in the imperial examination." Liu Kedao.
This is just an opportunity to take the imperial examination directly.
"If you donate up to 500,000 gold, you can take the exam three times in a row." Liu Kedao.
This is absolutely a sky-high price!
But for Yangzhou businessmen, this is a good opportunity.
What they need is Liu Ke¡¯s attitude!
As long as Liu Ke continues to support them, what does the money mean?
It takes a while and you can earn it back.
"My lord is wise!" everyone said in unison.
In the end, the matter was handed over to Chen Qun, and 50 million gold was raised at a banquet.
I have to say, this wave of leeks is very awesome. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
