[Thanks to the precious monthly tickets for "Yunjump and Yunshu is not me", thanks to the evaluation tickets for "Xiaoyao Seven Dragon Ball", thank you! I'm going to run naked again next week! It's so sad! Everyone's recommendation tickets should be great! Don't worry, it's next week, haha.]

Everyone tacitly agreed and said nothing at the welcome banquet. It was not until the banquet ended that Tao Qian sent his subordinates and left his confidant aides to meet with Fang Zhiwen in a secret meeting.

Xiangxiang was impatient with this and had long disappeared. She had been having fun these days. It is said that she has made many friends, such as Cao Bao's daughter, Tao Qian's granddaughter, etc. She is a girl who is free to enter and exit the powerful families of Xia Pi, just like she is in her own home, and can receive many strange and interesting tasks that other players cannot receive. Such things cannot be envied by others.

The maid presented incense tea to the host and guests on both sides like a flowing water, and then left one after another.

Tao Qian picked up the teacup and signaled to Fang Zhiwen, took a sip of tea, and slowly opened his voice: "Master Fang, first of all, thank you Lord Fang for traveling thousands of miles to help. I am grateful for this kindness and express my gratitude to you on behalf of the gentry and people of Xuzhou, the gentry and people of Xuzhou!

"Your Madam, please be polite. I admire you very much for your farming strategy, especially if you can manage Xuzhou so rich and peacefully in this troubled times. It would be a pity if someone ruined all this!"

Fang Zhiwen smiled and said polite words without any nutrition, but was studying the powerful people in Xuzhou who were here.

Cao Bao, as a representative of the military, is also a local clan in Xia Pi City. He holds the most important military power in Xia Pi City, and this person is definitely an important figure in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng, a native of Huaipu in Xia Pi, had a family power concentrated in the eastern part of Xia Pi, but there were also a large number of business real estate in Xia Pi City, and there were also many farms outside the city, which were also a local large family in Xia Pi.

Mi Zhu, needless to say, the East China Sea giants who have been in business for generations are not considered tribe members. In recent years alone, there have been tens of thousands of refugees who have sold themselves to the Mi family. This is definitely a giant. I don’t know why I had to devote myself to Liu Bei back then. Perhaps it was because of the insecurity of the merchants and hoped to protect the business with power.

The remaining Zu Rong, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang, and Xu Fang should be the confidants of Tao Qian's faction. Xuzhou is controlled by these four major factions. It makes sense that Tao Qian arranged these people in this important meeting. In other words, Fang Zhiwen and Tao Qian's negotiations require that all these people have unified their opinions, so they simply negotiated together.

Of course, Tao Qian also had the idea of ​​using the power of Fang Zhiwen to suppress these aristocratic races.

There are relatively few people on Fang Zhiwen's side. In addition to Fang Zhiwen, there are also Guo Jia, Zhen Xiang and Huang Zhong, and some of them seem to be single and weak.

"Haha, Lord Chengfang said beautifully, I am ashamed. The current situation in Xuzhou is like a child with huge sums of money. This is also my incompetence!"

"No one hurts the tiger's heart, and a tiger hurts the other. The old man just uses the heart of a gentleman to judge the villain's belly. Cao Cao's ambition is known to everyone in the world. This is really not the old man's fault."

"Shame, Cao Cao now uses the excuse of borrowing grain. If he wants to engage in the invasion, the major general of Xuzhou is scarce. I hope Lord Fang will provide help."

"Don't worry, the old man is here to help the old man. I just don't know how the old man needs to do his best?"

"This..." Tao Qian hesitated for a moment, and quietly gave a wink at Zhao Yu and Chen Deng. It would be better for them to speak up and test Fang Zhiwen's ideas first.

"To be honest, our Xuzhou troops can only defend three or two big cities now, and we must also prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from taking the opportunity to invade south. Moreover, the Xuzhou army has been disconnected for a long time and may not be able to fight hard, so the troops that can fight against the Cao army are almost unable to provide any action. Therefore, if we resist Cao Cao, we still need the help of our lords."

"Yuanlong means that I hope my Miyun army can completely block Cao's army?"

"Yes! Of course, we will provide all military equipment, and the same is true for civilians and militias. We also follow the war on the orders of the lord."

Fang Zhiwen nodded: "I understand, but Yuan Long and the old man, you only want to beware of the Yellow Turban Thief. Have you ever considered whether Yuan Shao would take advantage of the situation to rob?"

Tao Qian's face froze, Chen Deng's face looked ugly, Zhao Yu sighed and said, "I have considered it, but I can only deal with it by chance. Pengcheng can only try my best to defend. If the adults can repel Cao Cao as soon as possible, everything will be easy."

Fang Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "Master, what do you mean is to give all the rights and responsibilities of fighting against Cao's army, and your army is responsible for defending against the threats in the north and key cities?"

Old Tao Qian's face turned slightly red, and he nodded slightly stiffly and said, "That's exactly what Lord Fang wants to do?"

"This is no problem. I am here to deal with Cao Cao, but the matter is not as simple as you think. I am from the lower ranks and I dare not say anything else, but I am unwilling to be inferior to others in military affairs. You all think too simple about this war. I respect filial piety. Please tell you about our deduction results of the war."

"As for your order! Sir, please order someone to get a picture frame."

Soon a guard took a map mount and Guo Jia took out a detailed map of Xuzhou hanging on it. Tao Qian and his subordinates looked carefully and couldn't help but be shocked. The map was more detailed than theirs. It can be imagined that with this map, if Fang Zhiwen wanted to attack Xuzhou, it would be twice the result with half the effort! I really don't know where Fang Zhiwen's map came from.

Guo Jia looked at the surprised expressions of everyone and explained with a smile: "This map was purchased from Yi Ren. In this regard, Yi Ren's ability is stronger than us. If the elder needs it, please keep this map."

"Hehe, thank you for your filial piety, please continue!"

Guo Jia smiled, turned his back to the map and slowly began to say, "Everyone, before explaining the preview of the actual war, I need to introduce the situation in Xuzhou and the surrounding areas. Now Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu have stopped fighting, and Sun Jian is competing with Liu Yao for Danyang County. Zhang Bao has just completed the integration in Mount Tai, and the aliens in Chengyang and Langya County are increasing their strength to manage their own strength. Look at Xuzhou, the cities inside Xuzhou are densely packed, with a large number of villages and towns outside the city, and the continuous farmland is about to be harvested, but in the city, there are a large number of

There are unemployed vagrants and refugees. Looking at the military power comparison, Cao Cao can mobilize 60,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, and the number of Yiren who will participate is estimated to be about 300,000. Yuan Shao can mobilize nearly 60,000 troops. The Yiren troops are about 100,000, and the Yellow Turban Army can mobilize about 150,000, and the Yiren troops are more than 400,000. The total number of local defense troops in Xuzhou exceeds 500,000, including militia, and there are 80,000 mobile troops. The Yiren troops that can be mobilized cannot be determined. Compared with all parties, Xuzhou is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number of people."

Guo Jia's words made everyone in Xuzhou look ashamed and ashamed. But they all said it was true, but if Xuzhou is really strong, there is no need to ask Fang Zhiwen for the head.

"So, from the perspective of war ability, Xuzhou will undoubtedly be defeated without foreign aid. Now, look at the map. The area bordering Qiao County and Xuzhou is very large, which has caused great trouble for our defense. According to our speculation, Cao Cao may form two to three attack groups, and then spread a large number of alien troops into Xuzhou to loot. Everyone, I just said that a large number of rural towns in Xuzhou will become their targets, and the prosperous Xuzhou is now a delicacy for the enemy."

Everyone's faces became darker. Guo Jia said that they did not think carefully. Now that Guo Jia said this, they understood why Cao Cao came to Xuzhou. It was because the fragrance of Xuzhou's harvest was so tempting that Cao Cao's army didn't even have to bring food and grass. Just fight and grab it.

But in this way, Xuzhou's defense has become a big problem. How can it be defended against such a vast front? Even if Fang Zhiwen is willing to help, Xuzhou may not be able to invite so many troops, right?!

"The second step is that Cao Cao will concentrate his troops to capture the key points, and then repeat the first step, and slowly erode and advance, and eat the entire wealthy Xuzhou little by little. The key points of these front lines should be to consider, Xiaqiu, Wuxian, Huailing and other places. After taking these support points, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao in the north will probably be moved. Then, Xuzhou will face the state of being attacked on three sides. At that time, the land of the wealthy Xuzhou will be full of flames. How can you deal with it?"

Guo Jia's question stopped Tao Qian and his subordinates. If the situation Guo Jia mentioned really happened, no, since Guo Jia could think of it, then Cao Cao would definitely think of these problems. There is almost no doubt about the possibility of this situation. Now everyone should think about how to deal with this completely decayed situation.

Chen Deng swallowed his saliva, and a layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead at some point. Fang Zhiwen was right, and he and others still estimated the situation too optimistically. He also claimed to be proficient in strategic military affairs, but he could not foresee such a bad situation. What made Chen Deng even more ashamed was that in the face of such a bad situation, Chen Deng could only think of a stupid way to defend the core city. I wonder if this young military advisor Guo Fengxiao had a better way?

"This...this...this...this...this, can there be a way to deal with it?" Tao Qian glanced at the ministers beside him. Seeing that everyone was silent or frowned and thought deeply, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Finally, he turned his expectant eyes to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia grinned and said confidently: "Of course there are some. There are three strategies for Fengxiao here, middle and lower. Please correct me, sir."

Tao Qian was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Fengxiao, come on!"

"This is the worst strategy to give up the periphery, defend the key cities, and try to use siege to consume Cao Cao's vitality. In the process of step-by-step retreat, on the one hand, we can forge our defensive forces, and on the other hand, we can consume Cao Cao's elite troops. Until we lure Cao Cao to the hinterland of Xuzhou, our Miyun cavalry can detour behind the enemy, cut off its supplies and even harass its hinterland. When Cao Cao's efforts are far greater than the benefits, Cao Cao will naturally retreat. Once Cao Cao leaves, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao will naturally not continue. This strategy is a way to kill the enemy and lose one thousand by themselves, but it is safe and has a very high possibility of success. Moreover, it can also give the people and soldiers of Xuzhou a chance to hone their skills. If Cao Cao comes again next year, his losses will be greater than this year."
