From beginning to end, the situation in the Northeast has been advanced according to the planned and policy scheduled by Zhao Xing. This is not only an embodiment of his ability to plan from a strategic height, but also a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Chouhu Commander.**--*

The seven major legions of protecting ** (including the newly established Northeast Legion), plus the Western Regions Legion directly under the Pingxi King, all large-scale operations were followed by the command of the Wohu Command. The senior generals had been directly dispatched by the Wohu Command and knew that there was an organization like the Command, but no one knew where the Command was located in Wohu City, and who were specific people inside.

The command center of the Crouching Tiger does exist, but it is not known to outsiders because it is too hidden. The command center is actually located in several spacious and ventilated secret rooms underground in the Pingxi Palace. The person in charge of the command center has never changed, that is Zhao Xing himself.

According to Zhao Xing's requirements, a group of combat staff specially assigned to him were responsible for specific work such as intelligence processing, military document exchanges, combat plan formulation, military material allocation, battlefield situation deduction, and combat loss replenishment.

These combat staff may be unknown, but they were all selected by Zhao Xing himself, received strict and formal training, and experienced and tested in various battlefield environments. These outstanding middle-level command officers who were originally from various armies were kept after entering the Crouching Tiger Lecture Hall for training and no longer had any contact with the outside world.

They live in Wohu City, with a legal and hidden identity as a cover, and enter and exit the Pingxi Palace on time every day, and handle various affairs efficiently and orderly like Zhao Xing's mind. Many classic war examples and large-scale military operations were implemented by them after Zhao Xingding made his combat intentions.

It is precisely because of such a head of state hidden behind the scenes that is operating efficiently that Zhao Xing can be so leisurely and comfortable in front of others. (_--) In fact, Zhao Xing never felt that commanding operations is such a profound ability. As a qualified commander, his greatest value and significance lies in his control and grasp of the entire battlefield situation. Some specific orders can be completely handed over to professional talents under his command to complete.

Just like when a superpower in later generations started a war, their bigwigs were almost busy standing in front of the stage to show and talk, and the specific combat tasks have been broken down into many blocks and efficiently completed by corresponding talents and institutions.

In a fashionable sentence, the command unit created by Zhao Xing is the greatest function of the commander who was created by Zhao Xing is to analyze various wars. The so-called analysis is deconstruction and analysis. Zhao Xing's subordinates may not have heard of these terms, but they do not need to know them. They just need to complete their tasks in the direction pointed out by Zhao Xing like hardworking workers.

After the New Year, all the personnel in the Commander-in-Chief stopped taking all vacations and visiting relatives, and devoted themselves to the formulation of the combat plan to seize Yizhou.

According to the information feedback from the Shadow Team members, Sima Yi has now built Yizhou's north and northwest side of Hanzhong and Wudu into iron walls. On all the passes, key rushes, waterways, and trails leading to the hinterland of Yizhou, Sima Yi commanded migrant workers to build a large number of strong defensive fortifications and sent trustworthy soldiers to garrison.

If a frontal attack is launched, based on the results of the sand table and the deduction on the map, the various coalition forces attacking Yizhou will have to pay at least 90,000 casualties. This is a war loss result that Zhao Xing could not accept and could not accept.

Zhao Xing planned to invest 190,000 troops in the Yizhou battlefield, mainly including 60,000 vanguard troops, 40,000 Kunlun troops, 30,000 Canglang troops, 30,000 Xiongju troops and 30,000 Heishan troops. Except for the Kunlun troops who formed a late army and have been operating in the Western Regions, the remaining troops are Zhao Xing's heart. He must not sit idly by and watch the troops become fragmented and cannot participate in the Central Plains War after the battle.

The maximum battle loss ratio set by Zhao Xingding was 20%, that is, the number of casualties in the troops attacking Yizhou could not exceed the upper limit of 40,000. In order to achieve Zhao Xing's combat determination, the senior leaders of the commander-in-chief analyzed and deduced day and night, hoping to formulate a combat plan that satisfies King Pingxi as before.

After all, it was the senior officials brought out by Zhao Xing himself. They finally came up with three plans to attack Yizhou within the specified time!

The first set of solutions can be called "bacterial warfare" and is also the easiest way. Sima Yi could send people to carry the plague to spread in the Xiliang area. The Commander of the Crouching Tiger, which has already mastered the advanced means of preventing and controlling various infectious diseases, can also launch a more successful and terrifying "plague war". As long as Zhao Xing nodded, within a year, the Commander of the Commander could make the Yizhou, which is a huge population of 6 million, and nine out of ten rooms are empty. In the end, there will be no soldiers available and no people to conquer.

However, this method is too cruel and inhumane. Once any rumors leak out, it will cause a fatal blow to the rising prestige of King Pingxi. Moreover, even if no one knows it, Zhao Xing's own conscience will definitely be dissatisfied. Therefore, this plan was denied by Zhao Xing as soon as possible.

Zhao Xing would not blame the staff in the command for being so cold-blooded, because the staff were only responsible for research, strategic and political issues within the war, and were not the scope of their consideration.

The second set of plans, which can be called "mobile warfare", is much more complicated than the first set of plans, and the probability of casualties has also risen sharply. After drawing 60,000 infantrymen from the Kunlun Pass into the snowy plateau, conquering the Tang Dynasty, they rushed straight to Yongchang County in the rear of Yizhou and stabbed Sima Yi in the heart. During the long-distance raid of 60,000 infantry, the remaining troops had to launch a massive feint attack on the north side of Yizhou to attract the main forces of Yizhou on the northern line, so as not to fall into a siege as soon as the expeditionary army entered Yizhou.

It is estimated that if these 60,000 expeditionary troops were trained one year in advance, the number of troops lost on the road when the expedition was officially launched was about 5,000. When conquering the Tang Dynasty Qiang tribe, there would be 5,000 more people. After entering the hinterland of Yizhou, 50,000 people could finally persist in the Northern Army breaking through the northern defense line of Yizhou, which was about 35,000. Sixty thousand people lost 25,000 people, and the casualties of 15,000 people were naturally left to the main army of the Northern Army.

The third plan can be called a "war of attrition". This plan is the most complex and cumbersome, and can even be regarded as a copy of the war in the Central Plains. Because the staff unanimously agreed that instead of fighting Yizhou first, it would be better to take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou to send troops to Xiangyang, and then take Xiangyang as the center to gather all the forces of each legion to launch a thunderous attack on Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and other forces, and wait until the Central Plains area is completely solved, and then turn around and slowly clean up Yizhou from three directions.

There was also a staff member with a broader idea and vision. He came directly to meet Zhao Xing and suggested that the Jin Navy and the Land War Brigade be dispatched at the same time to go south from the sea to Jiaozhou, seize Jiaozhi County (now the junction of Guangxi and Vietnam) and Guilin County, and launch a fatal blow directly from Yizhou's butt!
