The charcoal was burning in the brazier of the lord's mansion, and the house was filled with incense. Chutian invited the core figures of Xia Town to discuss Xia Town's strategic plan.

Chutian's subordinates included talents in agriculture, economy, judiciary, administration, infantry, cavalry, and archers, who constituted his first team.

Hua Mulan and Xia Xia Liang were approaching, the two women were chatting, while Zhou Yafu kept silent, Liu Sandao crossed Erlang's legs from time to time, Fang Xuanling was playing against Chu Tian, ​​and Li Kui was drinking tea.

Chu Tian held the black chess piece: "Sir, please formulate the Langya pair and plan for the development of Xia Town."

After Fang Xuanling learned about the current situation in Xiazhen, Chu Tian asked him to propose the same pairing with Langya as Zhuge Lianglong.

Facing Chu Tian's earnest eyes, Fang Xuanling could not refuse. After all, he is now the mastermind of Xia Zhen.

"The lord can use the identity of Kaiyang County Captain to crusade against the unacceptable forces in Kaiyang County, expel Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan thieves, and then use Kaiyang County as a stronghold to exile the Prime Minister of Langya and occupy the land of Langya."

"Tao Qian is dark and weak, Kong Rong is in the north, and with the strength of Langya country, he can recruit tens of thousands of troops. The lord then uses the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou as an excuse to make Zhou Yafu lead tens of thousands of troops into Beihai Kingdom. Within a year, Beihai Kingdom can be annexed. Xiong occupies Qing and Xu. At that time, depending on the situation, the lord will compete for the Qing and Xu states, and ask the imperial court for the position of state shepherd."

"Once you have the land of two states, you can unify Yanzhou and Yuzhou south of the Yellow River, go south to Huainan, north to Hebei, west to Guanzhong, and you can divide the world into three parts."

"Then I got to Longwangshu, followed the river, and took the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, and the world was unified."

"Going northward to the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and strengthening the control of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, can be called a great emperor."

Fang Xuanling depicts the bright future of Xiazhen.

Chu Tian listened carefully, wasn't the first half of the strategic plan Cao Cao's development route?

The only difference is that Cao Cao used Yanzhou and Yuzhou as strongholds to start his army, while Chutian's basic base was Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

The second half of the plan is the Western Jin Dynasty's routine to destroy the states of Shu and Wu.

Fang Xuanling's Lang Ya pair actually put together two ready-made routines.

But what Fang Xuanling said is indeed true. There are already ready-made homework in history that can be copied, so copying homework will never be wrong.

To overcome the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, we must first conquer Xishu, so that we can be condescending and return a thousand miles to Jiangling in one day.

It's a pity... Xia Town has only a population of more than 20,000 people, with hundreds of soldiers and horses. It is somewhat difficult to achieve Lang Ya's first step - dominating Kaiyang County.

And the variables on the way may be very large, just like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair because Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, and completely declared it invalid.

The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel, one step is wrong, one step is wrong.

"I need time."

Chutian knew that if there was no time point for reaching the strategic intention, Xiazhen would fall into the dilemma of developing too fast or too slow.

If it develops too fast, it will be the same as the Mongolian Empire, just devouring its territory without digesting its territory, and the territory will quickly split in the back.

If the development is too slow, just like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, they will sit back and watch Cao Cao grow big and remain indifferent. When Cao Cao develops, they will be powerless.

"How about attacking Kaiyang County within a year?"

Fang Xuanling carefully proposed a time point.

The first epic battle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion began in December, and now it is the second month of the lord's calendar.

"One year?"

Kaiyang County must have an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers, maybe even more than 10,000 square kilometers. Chutian doubts whether Xia Town can be built as a second-class town within a year.

"As long as you occupy Langya City, spread the word to all the towns, and let them follow the wind. If anyone disagrees, let Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao and several generals lead their troops to pacify them."

Fang Xuanling's words changed Chu Tian's thinking.

In Chutian's original idea, to occupy a place,

It means conquering every village and town.

But in fact, as long as the county seat, the county seat, and the governor's house are occupied, it is basically equivalent to controlling this area. Most of the villages and towns are sloppy. Whoever has the bigger fist will listen to whoever has the bigger fist. Only a few will really resist.

"But before that, we have to use up the quota of the vassal villages and towns in Xia Town, try to occupy the villages and towns near Langya City, and realize the villages and towns surround the city."

Chu Tian supplemented Fang Xuanling's plan.

Langya City was a large city. After Xia Town was upgraded to a small city, it was necessary to bring a group of villages and towns to capture the big city.

Zhou Yafu, who was silent, interjected: "My lord, you should also be careful about the movements of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. Once we plan to open Yang County, Tao Qian may mobilize troops and attack us with Zang Ba."

Hua Mulan nodded: "It's not impossible."

Tao Qian is also a trouble. On the surface, Zang Ba was a cavalry captain under Tao Qian's command, but he was actually a force of his own in Langya. In Ju County to the north, there seems to be another Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian, who also has some soldiers and horses in his hands.

If Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Zang Ba, the captain of the capital, and Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, knew that less than a thousand soldiers and horses in Xiazhen were plotting Kaiyang County and planning to capture Langya City within a year, they would definitely feel that Chutian was crazy.

Even Tao Qian didn't want to eradicate the Taishan thieves represented by Zang Ba, and wanted to use Zang Ba's reputation to control other Taishan thieves and deal with the Yellow Turbans.

However, Chutian has this confidence. What he lacked was not generals, but territory and strength.

Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan were invincible when they commanded tens of thousands of Han troops in the Guangzong County battlefield, which was completely different from that in Xiazhen.

A clever woman does not cook without rice, and the gap in the comprehensive strength of the territory cannot be made up by one or two generals. As long as the opponent's generals are not too bad, and the national strength is ten times yours, just defense and harassment can drain you to death.

"Why don't you train your troops and horses in this cold winter, and once the spring begins, immediately capture the surrounding villages and towns? After this year's harvest, you can collect grain from all over the country, temporarily recruit tens of thousands of troops and horses, and quickly take Kaiyang City. This plan can be set as a spring offensive and an autumn offensive. ."

Summer cool put down the teacup.

Only players will come up with the concept of "XX offensive".

"Spring Offensive, Autumn Offensive... It's a very good name."

Zhou Yafu says something

With Heizi in his hands, Chu Tian's plan for Summer Cool is divided into two steps, the spring offensive to conquer the villages and towns near Langya City, and the autumn offensive to occupy Langya City.

Chu Tian thought for a while: "There is another problem. If the autumn offensive starts in July, it must end before sowing in October, otherwise it will not only affect the planting, but also the cold winter will come."

"Lord Lord, if you can't defeat Langya City in three months, then there is no need to continue the fight, because Tao Qian and the other Taishan thieves will arrive immediately, and we can escape."

"There's one more person to take advantage of."

"who?"

"Xiao Jian, the Prime Minister of Langya State in Ju County. The Prime Minister of Langya State is equivalent to the prefect of the county. He should have been the leader of Langya State, but now the most influential person in Langya State is the thief of Mount Tai. He naturally doesn't have much affection for Zang Ba. Causing Xiao Jian and Zang Ba to turn against each other, then Xiao Jian might be able to borrow troops."

In the lord's mansion, which is not a big one in Xia Town, the strategic plan to compete in the Central Plains was gradually perfected in the discussions of several people.

The first step is to dominate Kaiyang County, train troops in winter, build territory, and launch spring offensive in spring.
