Wucheng County, Liu Bei's camp.
It had been five days since Sun Ce's army had made a move.
As the generals returned, bad news came one after another.
Although Taishi Ci had arrived in time, the enemy troops from Piling had burned all the rice outside the city and had already retreated safely.
Qiao Rui and Zhang Fei had just led their troops when they encountered the enemy.
In the end, before the two armies had even fought, the enemy had already fled in a hurry, thus preserving the rice in Wuxi and Lou County.
In just a few days, the grain of Dantu, Qu 'a, Yangxian and Wucheng counties under Liu Bei's control had all been seized by Sun Ce's army.
And Piling County was burned to the ground!
Faced with this situation, the generals in Liu Bei's camp all had gloomy expressions.
To an army, provisions were the source of strength.
Once they ran out of rations, it would be a huge blow to the morale and combat effectiveness of the army!
Although Gu Yong had just joined Liu Bei, he was already in charge of many political affairs.
He stood up and said,"
"My lord, now that the autumn grain has been collected, the five counties will face a situation of no harvest.”
"Even if we use the other six counties to raise it, I'm afraid it won't be able to last until next autumn harvest.”
Liu Bei said in a low voice,"
"Yuan Tan, if we borrow food from the aristocratic families, will we be able to survive?”
Gu Yong shook his head and said,
"Difficult!"
"Wu County has no less than 150,000 households. Just the 11 counties under the lord alone have more than 130,000 households!”
"Dantu, Qu 'a, Yangxian and Wucheng are all large counties with tens of thousands of people.”
"I'm afraid that the number of refugees we have to feed will reach more than 150,000!”
"Even if each person gets half a catty a day, without 400,000 dan of grain, they won't be able to last until next year!”
"If we can't think of a solution within this year, tens of thousands of people might starve to death!”
Hearing Gu Yong's words, everyone's hearts sank once again.
Half a catty per person per day was the minimum expenditure to keep a person alive.
Even so, he still needed to consume 400,000 dans of grain!
Zhang Fei roared indignantly,"
"Ahhhh... River East rat! Rats!"
"They didn't think of attacking head-on, but actually snatched the food!”
"Sun Ce brat! Why didn't I stab this thief to death last time!”
When the generals heard this, their faces were filled with indignation.
This ambush had come too suddenly!
If not for Yun Yi's quick reaction, the enemy would probably have been able to harvest even more rations!
Liu Bei also sighed,"
"Sigh, I was too careless!"
"I didn't expect Sun Ce to come up with such a strategy!”
"Right now, the enemy navy is crossing the river, and our army is unable to transfer food from Guangling. What should we do?”
As Liu Bei spoke, his eyes turned towards Yun Yi.
The generals also glanced in Yun Yi's direction.
That look was simply asking if the military counselor had a way?
When Gu Yong saw this, he was also extremely curious.
Recently, there had been rumors about how Yun Yi had divine foresight.
However, in this situation, could Yun Yi still have a solution?
However, in everyone's eyes, Yun Yi was thinking about who his opponent was this time.
If he guessed correctly, the person who proposed this strategy was Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!
The person he feared the most in River East was undoubtedly Zhou Yu.
After all, there was no false reputation.
No matter how history evaluated Zhou Yu, the fact that he was the number one general of Dongwu could not be changed.
Without Zhou Yu, the Three Kingdoms would never have existed!
Now that Zhou Yu had made his move, it proved that this person was not simple!
If he didn't attack, then he wouldn't attack. Once he attacked, it was a fatal blow.
Zhang Fei saw that Yun Yi did not say a word and could not help but say to Yun Yi,
"Advisor Jun, the enemy has split our army in half with the navy. What should we do?”
Liu Bei also said,
"Military advisor, can we use our navy?”
The generals looked at Yun Yi with anticipation.
When Yun Yi saw this, he smiled casually and said,
"Everyone, we don't even have a warship yet, so how can we talk about a navy?”
"Even if we want to defeat the enemy navy, I estimate that we still have two to three months!”
"This…"
Zhang Fei's face darkened as he said bitterly,"
"Do we have to wait here for three months?”
The generals also had bitter expressions.
Liu Bei was startled.
"I remember that the military counselor said before that if the enemy wants to last, we have to attack quickly?”
Yun Yi smiled and said,
"That's right!"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up.
"Do you have a good plan, Military Advisor?"
Yun Yi simply stood up and took a look at the map.
There was a lot of information displayed on the map in the direction of Elixir Yang:
[Jurong: Attack success rate 30%]
[Liyang: 40% success rate]
[Gu Zhang: 45% success rate]
[Yu Qian, Attack Success Rate 40%]
[Wanling: Attack success rate 80%]
......
Seeing the map, he nodded to himself.
Jurong, Liyang, Guzhang, and Yuqian were all connected to Liu Bei.
Zhou Yu had deployed a large number of troops in these counties!
Clearly, they wanted to fight a protracted war with Liu Bei!
Yun Yi said in a clear voice,
"Gentlemen, the enemy has taken our rations and cut off our connection with Guangling.”
"If I'm not wrong, the enemy will definitely gather their forces at the border of Elixir Yang and prepare to fight a protracted war with our army!”
"Thus, our army must attack quickly and not let the enemy's strategy succeed!”
Taishi Ci was puzzled.
"Advisor Jun, since the enemy is defending the border, how can we attack quickly?”
"Even if we attack the enemy's cities with superior numbers, our army will suffer heavy losses every time we take down a city!”
When the generals heard this, they felt depressed again.
This was the truth. If they wanted to attack the city, even if they succeeded, they would suffer heavy losses!
Yun Yi smiled slightly and said,
"Why would our army attack Tough City?"
"I have a method that can make the enemy's defensive line collapse!”
Liu Bei hurriedly said,"
"What is it?"
Yun Yi slowly spat out three words and said,
"Lightning!"
Qiao Rui's interest was piqued."
"Military Advisor, what is a blitzkrieg?"
All the generals looked at Yun Yi with interest.
What was the military counselor up to this time?
Yun Yi smiled at the generals and said,
"The so-called blitzkrieg is a battle technique that uses extremely fast speed to continuously attack the enemy's city without the goal of occupying it!”
"The enemy is bullying our navy, so we can naturally bully the enemy for not having any cavalry!”
"Our army can be stationed at the border of Dan Yang!”
"After that, we will use our 1,000 cavalry to take a detour into Pill Sun County.”
"Right now is the autumn harvest. The enemy must have some food that hasn't been harvested yet.”
"The duty of our cavalry is to destroy these rations and wantonly destroy Pill Sun County!”
"When the time comes, the enemy won't be able to catch up to us. If they want to stop our cavalry, they can only surround us!”
"But to surround, chase, and intercept, we need a large number of troops!”
"The enemy's strength is not comparable to our army. As long as he dares to retreat, we can enter and occupy Dan Yang!”
"If he insists on not retreating, then his Pill Sun County will be wantonly destroyed by our army!”
"Our army has no food and can still hold on for a few months.”
"At that time, the enemy will have no choice but to retreat!”
"In this way, our army can naturally occupy Dan Yang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Gu Yong was instantly stunned.
How could this work?
It was clearly a crisis before, but now it had become an opportunity?
Liu Bei slammed the table and said,"
"Wonderful!"
"If this plan works, Sun Ce can destroy them in one battle!”
The generals were also overjoyed.
Only Qiao Rui frowned and said,"
"Advisor Jun, although this plan is brilliant, it is extremely dangerous. The key to the battle is this cavalry!”
"However, this army is alone. Once this army is destroyed by the enemy, our army will suffer a huge loss!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that!
That's right!
It might sound good now, but this cavalry had to ensure that they would not be destroyed by the enemy and achieve strategic results!
Who could guarantee that?
Yun Yi smiled faintly and said,
"Therefore, I will personally lead the army this time!”
