Chapter 307 A Strategy Lesson
Fang Zhiwen slowly swept across everyone's faces, including Zhao Yun who was frowning and Tian Yu whose lips kept fluttering. After waiting for a while, no one spoke.
Even Xiangxiang, who was comforting the little Taoist nun, was helpless, but her brother didn't speak, and Xiangxiang wouldn't say anything. She just looked at the generals of Taiping Dao, and the little Taoist nun's eyes were also shaking on the faces of the generals, obviously hoping that these people could come up with a way to solve this dead end.
Fang Zhiwen waited patiently for a while, and he started to click.
"Zhang Man City, tell me, how do you think you should deal with the current situation?"
Zhang Mancheng's brows were almost tied into a dead knot. He could see clearly the logo on the map. He didn't know how the young lady made this prediction trend chart. Zhang Mancheng had to admit that once Taiping Road really started, the situation formed was likely to be like this.
However, this situation seems to be very unfavorable to Taipingdao. It seems that Taipingdao occupies a huge territory, but in these territory, all the big cities above level 1 have not been captured, and these cities have a large population and can be summoned to become troops at any time.
In addition, it is the combat power problem of Taiping Road itself. With the current combat power level of Taiping Road, there is absolutely no way to compete with the elite soldiers surrounding the surrounding war. What's more, once the Taiping Road troops are in stalemate with the surrounding Han army, the large cities that have not been captured inside will immediately become a fatal cancer of Taiping Road.
Is there really no solution?
"Master, my subordinates, I think we should shrink our troops and stay in the city."
Fang Zhiwen pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Speak more in detail, don't talk so empty."
Zhang Mancheng sighed, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is always the same idea. Let’s talk about it, maybe it will have the effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade!
"Sir, my subordinates think that the front line can be divided into two parts: north and south. The northern line is mainly Jizhou, occupying Julu, Yangping, Guangping and Anping. Collect population resources. Build cities and defend themselves. The southern line is mainly Yuzhou, occupying Runan, and Huaiyang builds cities and defend themselves. First, stabilize the front line, and then seek other things."
"What do the others mean?"
"This... I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Mancheng's forehead was questioned by Fang Zhiwen, and a layer of oily sweat appeared. He also felt a little bored in his chest, as if he had breathed in his chest, which made people extremely annoyed.
"Chu Feiyan, you said."
"Sir, my subordinates' views are similar to those of Zhang Mancheng, but I remember that my subordinates once said that war is a continuation of politics, so I think I should first figure out why this battle was fought."
Chu Feiyan's thinking was broader than Zhang Mancheng's. Fang Zhiwen nodded in appreciation, but ignored Chu Feiyan's expectant gaze, but turned his eyes to Zhao Aier who was thinking.
"Master Lingxin. May I ask, why did this battle be fought?"
Zhao Aier's heart trembled, as if a cool spring water poured down her heart, washing away all the depression and boredom in her heart. Yes, why was this battle fought? For whom?
Zhao Aier suddenly looked up at Fang Zhiwen, who still had a faint expression. Originally, Taipingdao's life and death really had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Aier has followed the master for many years and knows many unknown secrets. Why did Zhang Jiao rebel? Perhaps, he is really trying to give the people a way out, but it was not like this at the beginning. To a large extent, Zhang Jiao had to rebel. Moreover, even now, there are different voices in the high-level leaders of Taiping Road.
For the people? No, it should be for power and for the benefit!
Similarly, the existence of Taiping Dao is actually due to some kind of interest. So, as long as the driving force of Taiping Dao exists, Taiping Dao can continue to exist.
"Sir, what if the purpose you just mentioned has changed? I, Taipingdao, did not want to conquer the capital, but to build up the city and appease the people, and realize the idea that everyone has land within a limited range?"
Fang Zhiwen grinned: "In other words, the strategic goals have changed?"
"Yes, the strategic goal has changed!" Zhao Aier's eyes were bright and her body was straight, and she actually exuded a faint aura.
"Haha, then we will correct the strategic assumptions and set the goal of Taiping Road to govern the four counties of Jizhou and two counties of Yuzhou. The others remain unchanged. Now let's see how the form will change, Xiangxiang."
"Here!" Xiangxiang responded in a pretty voice, stepped forward and picked up the wooden stick leaning on the board, pointed to the map and said: "If Taiping Road aims to divide the six counties of Julu, Yangping, Guangping, Anping, Yuzhou Runan and Huaiyang, it will concentrate the population resources that were plundered in advance to the above six counties, build cities to defend themselves, Xuzhou and Yangzhou will quickly restore order and be mastered by the aristocratic forces. Due to the participation of Yiren and the weak aristocratic forces, Qingzhou may fall into chaos, and there may be barbarian rebellions in Jiangdong and Jingnan. The situation around the four counties of Jizhou is similar to Yang and Xu, so it will be surrounded on three sides, while the two counties of Yuzhou will be surrounded on all sides."
After saying that, Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows proudly at the Taoist nun, then smiled at Fang Zhiwen, put down the wooden stick, and walked back to her original position.
Fang Zhiwen gave Xiangxiang a satisfied smile, and looked back at the very serious generals and said, "Just just now, everyone heard the new trend. The consequences of contraction are very obvious, that is, being surrounded. From the result, whether Taipingdao is aimed at occupying the capital, overthrowing the Han Dynasty, or separating the territory and realizing the proposition, the final situation is the same. However, these two strategies have essential differences, and the results they cause seem the same, but will be completely different if they continue to develop. Who can tell me what the results will be if these two different strategic goals continue to develop. Zhang Mancheng, you said."
"Sir, my subordinates think that if Taipingdao aims to destroy the Han court, then the two sides will be in a state of undying. If... if... if it only aims to cede the land and defend itself, it is just a warlord, maybe the court will recruit peace, right?"
Zhang Mancheng's words made the generals of Taipingdao look very bad. Although they also understood that the so-called celibacy of land was just a strategy and a temporary adjustment made when the long-term strategic goal could not be achieved. However, in their hearts, they were determined to build a new world. Now they have become such a form of fertility. Obviously, it is inconsistent with their ideals, but this group of people are gathered together by the same ideal.
Although they gradually became a vested interest group from a poor man to a leader. In fact, they gradually understood that the ideal was just a slogan, but after all, it was still the most sacred place deep in their hearts, so how could they easily give up?
As for the recruitment, it is absolutely unacceptable!
Zhao Aier shook her head gently: "I can't recruit you!"
The generals' eyes lit up. Zhao Aier's identity is special. Her words should represent Zhang Jiao. They represent the mainstream views of the senior executives of Taipingdao. Such a statement is undoubtedly in line with everyone's hearts.
"Why? Because of faith and ideal?" Fang Zhiwen's words were more ironic. Zhao Aier smiled bitterly. It was hard to say this. Look at these generals who were willing to fight for the ideal of Taiping. Zhao Aier suddenly felt a little confused. "Just think that's it. Anyway, I can't accept any form of reunion. My sir, this cannot be changed. I think you can understand it."
Looking at Zhao Aier's begging eyes, Fang Zhiwen curled his lips disdainfully, but he still did not continue to investigate the issue. Instead, he looked at the general of Taiping Dao and asked lazily: "Since Taoist Lingxin said that it is impossible to recruit you, then Zhang Mancheng, please continue to talk about this battle?"
Zhang Mancheng looked at Zhao Aier with some confusion. He was a smart person and knew that he could not talk about this topic anymore. In fact, he shouldn't have raised this topic just now. He stared at the map for a while, adjusted his mentality to himself. Zhang Mancheng said: "Sir, the war is a resource. Now the center of the Han Dynasty is scarce. The longer the war is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for the Han court. With a large population, several cities can be built. As long as Taiping Road relies on these cities to hold on to the city and the war will be postponed, the Han army will be in chaos."
Fang Zhiwen smiled and said, "How could it be messy?"
"Will the Lord without money and food pay to attack Taipingdao's territory with his own pocket?"
"When I went to attack the Hu tribe, no one paid me any money and food."
"That's different. The Hu tribe has poor defense methods, and the adults also rely on the power of Yiren. Taiping Road is defending the city. How expensive is the adults spending?"
"What if someone pays money for food? I think the local aristocratic races are definitely willing to pay money for food."
"Then, before the war begins, we will work hard to destroy and plunder the local aristocratic races."
"Is that a scorched earth strategy?"
"Yes."
Fang Zhiwen sighed. Zhang Manchester City's pattern has always been stuck in the pattern of one continent and one county, and has not been able to jump out to see the world. Zhang Manchester City is at best a talented general.
However, Fang Zhiwen was not disappointed. Taipingdao did not have any talent, otherwise he would not have been defeated so quickly.
"Chu Feiyan, what about you? What do you think?"
Chu Feiyan's lips curled slightly, and he looked at Fang Zhiwen with confidence and replied: "Sir, my subordinates believe that it is feasible to defend ourselves. As long as Taipingdao is not under the banner of overthrowing the Han court and raising the cost of war to a certain extent, maybe Taipingdao's own concern may not be needed, and someone will come to help Taipingdao, such as the adult."
"Haha..." Fang Zhiwen laughed relaxedly, not sympathizing with Chu Feiyan's statement: "Today's strategy class, I will end with this. You can discuss it yourself in the next time, especially the consequences caused by these two different strategic goals. Think about the importance and necessity of strategic goals."
After saying that, ignoring the inexplicable generals of Taiping Dao, Fang Zhiwen walked out on his own. When he passed by Zhao Aier, he whispered: "I'm afraid of civil strife!"
Zhao Aier looked at Fang Zhiwen in horror, but Fang Zhiwen left without looking back. The words just now seemed to be her own illusion, civil strife?!
