Chapter 178 I have a plan

The sixth year of Zhongping, or the first year of Guangxi, it doesn't matter, after all, Liangzhou and the imperial court have basically lost contact.

July is the beginning of summer, and the weather in Jincheng is neither cold nor hot, very pleasant.

How Luoyang fights for power and profit, how to dispatch troops and generals, these things have nothing to do with Liangzhou for the time being.

Jincheng County, Ling Jusai!
Marquis Li Wen led his troops back, but he did not return to Yunwu's barracks, but went directly to Lingju, which is an important frontier in the north!
On the vast field, there are war horses roaring and knights roaring. They either gather or separate, and there is an order between gathering and dispersing.

Charge like fire, turn into like wind, well-trained and strong morale.

How many people are here?

Li Wenhou's immediate subordinate Yi Cong army consisted of [-] iron cavalry, [-] cavalry of Fanghan, [-] cavalry of Lingju, and [-] cavalry of Longqi.

Forty-five thousand elite cavalry, known as an army of fifty thousand, is not too much!

As long as Li Wenhou gives an order to gather 1 cavalry from Yugu, Zhizhi Hequ, [-] horses from Zhanxian County in Longxi, and the people of Jincheng, [-] cavalry and [-] troops are enough to run rampant without any problems.

It’s just that this disrupted the production order too much. First Dong Zhuo, then Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Sui, and Ma Teng all did this. In the end, these Liangzhou warlords basically did not end well.

However, Li Wenhou had Li Yao by his side. Li Yao analyzed the pros and cons to his father, explained the pros and cons, and finally did not embark on the path of militarism.

And at this time, the Chinese army's big account!
Li Wenhou looked at the map, then turned around to look at the crowd, and then he said:
"There is a message from the prefect of the county saying that the preparation of the luggage and the manpower for transporting the luggage will affect the original development plan. I hope this war can end as soon as possible. Today, everyone can say whatever they want. Do you have any good ideas or solutions?"

Liangzhou has a small population, probably less than 50 people. If the hidden population and Diqiang population are counted, this can have a population of over one million.

Gathering 10,000+ or ​​20 cavalry is not a big problem, but it will have a great impact on production development.

In the four counties of Hexi, there are at least 20 people. This is a piece of fat, but it is not so easy to swallow it.

After Li Wenhou finished speaking, no one spoke first. Li Yan and Li Lin first glanced at Li Yao, and then spoke one after another.

Li Yan held his head high, and he said confidently:
"Father, my son can lead the elite soldiers under his command to conquer the city first. Now our army is fully equipped and there is no shortage of siege equipment. As long as we are willing to work hard, we can definitely capture the four counties in Hexi quickly!"

Li Lin didn't agree with the strong attack, he just cupped his hands and said:
"Although the second brother is brave, his continuous attack will definitely cause heavy casualties to our army. In the past three years, I also have a lot of internal support in the four counties of Hexi. As long as I am willing to spend some money, I am sure to instigate some of the defenders and let them open the city gate for us!"

At this time, Ma Teng hesitated to speak. When he came to Jincheng and Lingju, he was completely shocked. This majestic army, this sufficient logistics... really made people feel awed, and he could no longer give birth to the idea of ​​resistance.

He wants to make meritorious service, he wants to be famous, he wants to ask himself to be the vanguard, but it is a bit ignorant to fight against the two sons of Li Wenhou, so please bear with it for now and wait until the end to invite the fight.

At the same time, among the other Sima, some agreed with Li Yan, thinking that they could send soldiers to carry out a strong attack, and some agreed with Li Lin, thinking that they could use money to counter the defenders.

After all, the Hexi Corridor is vast, and many cities were built in order to resist the Xiongnu and connect the Central Plains and the Western Regions. It is a troublesome thing to occupy all of them.

In the end, Li Wenhou could only decide:

"Then make two preparations. While preparing to use money to counter the defenders, at the same time preparing to send soldiers to carry out a strong attack. In short, I will definitely take down the four Hexi counties..."

Speaking of this, Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao, with a flash of expectation in his eyes, and then he spoke again:
"Ayao, what do you think?"

Until this time, Li Yao took a step forward, looked at Li Wenhou cupped his hands and said:
"Father, I have a plan. If it succeeds, I can indeed capture the four Hexi counties quickly!"

When Li Wenhou heard this, he felt overjoyed, and then quickly said:
"Speak quickly!"

Li Yao took his time and said his strategy bit by bit:
"The four prefectures in Hexi, and even the vassal state of Zhangye and Juyan. This is a very vast land, with limited military strength and limited population. They are also scattered in various cities. A very serious problem is that they fight on their own. A county is a power..."

"Since that's the case, then we should divide them completely, send left and right cavalry troops, with thousands of people as units, constantly interspersed and divided, and use the mobility of the cavalry to turn each city into an isolated city..."

"Let the soldiers pay more attention. As long as any city sends a messenger, it will be intercepted immediately to ensure that every city is completely isolated..."

"And we are not fifty thousand troops, we are one hundred thousand troops, one hundred thousand troops approaching the city, just relying on their isolated city, it depends on whether they are afraid..."

"As long as you are afraid, someone will want to surrender. As long as someone wants to surrender, then this city will naturally belong to us!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhou suddenly said it twice, and then burst out laughing:

"A 1000 army, a 3000 army... That's right, we have a [-] army, let the soldiers carry more flags, and [-] troops will bring me [-] flags. Anyway, there are too many people and horses, so I can't count how many people there are!"

Li Yao smiled and said:
"Father is wise, as long as they agree to surrender, they can give some favorable treatment, keep their official positions and property. If my father wants to seize the entire Liangzhou, he must not let others surrender..."

"But after the surrender, we have to take away the military power. As long as they lose the military power, they will become tigers without minions. They can handle it however they want..."

"If they are obedient and do things seriously, then they are still available. If they are corrupt and break the law and act recklessly, then replace them and re-arrange some capable and obedient people to become officials..."

"If they refuse to accept and dare to bring their clansmen to incite the people to make trouble, then kill them all, take their property, distribute money to the people, and distribute land to the people, so that the people can be appeased..."

"Although there will be some troubles in the future, at least one month, at most three months, we can seize the entire land of Hexi!"

Right after Li Yao finished speaking, everyone around widened their eyes and looked at him with admiration and respect.

Even Li Wenhou was the same, looking at Li Yao first, and then at the people around him, he laughed happily and said:
"With my son here, capturing Hexi is just around the corner!"
