Chapter 89 Gao Shun has always been powerful
After Guo Jia analyzed to several people the clues to breaking Cao Ren's "Eight Gate Golden Lock" formation, he did not rush to leave, but sat down quietly and listened to everyone's discussions about expanding the army and preparing for war in Qingzhou area.
As the "top leader" of the Qingzhou Legion, Zhao Yun said clearly: "At present, we have completely occupied only the two counties in Qingzhou, Donglai County and Le'an Country, several counties in the southwestern part of Beihai Country, several counties in the southeastern part of Qi State were actually occupied by Cao Ren's troops, and most of the territories in Pingyuan County and Jinan countries were actually occupied by Xiahou Dun's troops. Qingzhou was originally in a narrow territory and could not be compared with Bingzhou and Youzhou. Now we only occupy more than half of the territory, so it is both our dilemma and our opportunity."
Dian Wei has a straight temper. He asked in confusion: "Zilong, I have been in Qingzhou for the past few years, and I feel that I can't let go of my hands and feet everywhere. I'm often struggling, but I don't see where there is an opportunity?"
"Now the people in our control area are only 900,000, but they have to support 60,000 troops. Not only are the people burdened heavily, but the source of troops behind them is obviously insufficient. According to the instructions of King Pingxi, the upper limit of the conscription of the ** regiment in various places is 20 out of one, so we have at most 5,000 troops to expand." Gao Shun said it more tactfully, but his words were similar to what Dian Wei said, that is, the situation of the Qingzhou Legion is the most difficult among the six major legions.
Zhao Yun was not angry at Dian Wei's blunt statement, and nodded in agreement with Gao Shun's analysis, but he still explained with a smile: "The opportunity I mentioned lies in two aspects. First, because 40% of Qingzhou's territory is in the hands of Cao Cao, we have the most opportunity and reason to start a war against Cao Cao. The general direction set by King Pingxi is not to provoke the surrounding forces, but it did not say that we cannot launch the battle to recover Qingzhou! Second, because the population we control now is limited and the territory is not deep enough, we have the most reason to apply to the Wohu Immigration Bureau for a group of young and strong people from Sanhan Island as reserve troops and laborers!"
Guo Jia deeply agreed with Zhao Yun's statement, and he followed: "Zilong had already made it clear just now. I would like to add that although Qingzhou is actually controlled by King Pingxi, Qingzhou and Jin are still in nominal parallel. This is why Cao Cao dared to send troops to occupy the territory he had seized from Qingzhou Mu Kong Rong. As long as we focus on strengthening our strength, when we can launch a local war based on the power of Qingzhou, we can ask Liu Dai to issue a negotiation document to Cao Cao and force Cao Cao to hand over the occupied territory. With Lao Cao's current status and strength, he naturally would not agree, which would leave a verbal argument for us to start a war!"
Dian Wei is not a stupid person. After Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's analysis, he immediately understood the opportunity for the Qingzhou Army and the Flying Tiger Army. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said happily: "Hehe, I'm really not anxious. As long as there is a war, don't let me be a general. It doesn't matter where I am a commander!"
Everyone laughed and looked at Dian Wei with some sympathy.
It’s not that Dian Wei was so greedy and warlike, but it was because he didn’t expect that Zhao Xing would actually ask him to come to Qingzhou to take over Lu Bu’s position and hand over the sharpest spear in the protection of the ** to him to control. A commander of the Crouching Tiger Army and a commander of the Flying Tiger Army were the real power position closest to the position of commander of the legion. If he could not make any convincing achievements in his post, how would Dian Wei face the eyes of the soldiers of each army in the future?
In the first half of this year, Dian Wei took the Flying Tiger Army to Youzhou and Northeast China, and participated in several battles, but basically they were talking, and there were almost no one when they actually took action. Although they had made a lot of achievements, Dian Wei was nicknamed "the general of talking" by Gao Shun when he came back, which made Dian Wei, who had always been very confident, a little depressed.
Gao Shun, who has always had a special liking for military training, heard new trends from Zhao Yun’s words just now. He asked in confusion: “The progress of the Black Mountain Army on Sanhan Island is really so rapid? Now can we actually transport young and strong labor to the mainland?”
Without waiting for Zhao Yun to explain, Guo Jia replied strangely: "Meng Xiao may not know that Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army, sent me a letter a while ago. He is now very troubled by the 'troubled people' in several prisoners' camps! According to Zhang Yan's original words, 'This group of bastards are all arrogant people. Once released, they will try every means to follow the Black Mountain Army to fight to the end; they will always be kept in a lock, and waste the Black Mountain Army's food; if they cut it a few times, it's a pity. Zhang Yan then sent an urgent report to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which are closest to Sanhan, hoping that we and General Zhang Wenyuan can accept the tens of thousands of hammers on Sanhan Island to relieve the worries of the Black Mountain Army brothers!"
"Haha, haha! That rough man Zhang Yan is still speaking roughly. He actually scolded the natives on Sanhan Island as 'bastard' and 'bangmao'. It seems that he was really anxious!" Dian Wei covered his stomach and said with a smile.
Gao Shun was a serious person by nature. He did not laugh with Dian Wei, but said with a serious expression: "Grand advisor, this time we will at least bring more than 30,000 Sanhan natives from Zhang Yan! I have made a military order here. Within half a year, 20,000 infantry soldiers who can act as vanguards will be trained from these 30,000 indigenous peoples to serve as vanguards! If I give me a year, I can get the combat power of these 20,000 troops to catch up with the current Donglai Army!"
After hearing Gao Shun's words even said the military order, Dian Wei immediately stopped laughing and kindly reminded Gao Shun, "Fu Ping, don't rush to make a promise. We have never met these three Han natives before. People who have heard from San Han say that the natives there are all naughty by nature and are very rebellious, and they are not that easy to train!"
Although Zhao Yun and Guo Jia did not speak, their eyes revealed their concern and inquisitive expressions. They never doubt Gao Shun's ability to train troops. If Gao Shun said that the second person in the military training was Gao Shun, then no one dared to call themselves the first. Now, more than 400,000 troops of the military protection army were trained by Gao Shun, more than 70% of them were trained!
The problem is that once a military order is made, it is equivalent to going to a road to Huashan, and it can only succeed but not fail. In fact, there is no need for Gao Shun to force himself so ruthlessly, because in the eyes of everyone, in the minds of King Pingxi, a Gao Shun's value is far higher than that of 20,000 Korean infantry.
Seeing that everyone cared about him so much, Gao Shun said confidently: "Don't worry about me, let alone the natives on Sanhan Island, or the monkeys on Sanhan Island, as long as I give me enough time and special policies, I will train him!"
Gao Shun said this very well, but it is also very powerful!
