Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then his face became more gloomy, but he didn't know that Le Jin was already surrounded by Lu Bu's men in Fan County. It will be withdrawn directly to Chenliu.

"There are less than 50 people left in the 63,000 army..." Cao Cao muttered to himself. These 63,000 people can be said to be all the food he has in Nanyang, the richest city in the world. He spent more than a year with Yuan Shu. The veterans trained after successive battles can be said to be Cao Cao's hole cards with all his hard work, and he doesn't want to be wiped out overnight.

"My lord, you can recruit again when you run out of soldiers, and you can cast them again when you run out of weapons and equipment. As long as you return to Yanzhou, Wen Ruo will definitely take care of these things." Cheng Yu moved Xun Yu out without hesitation. Only Xun Yu can save the situation, and the others are completely hopeless.

"Let's go back to Yanzhou!" Cao Cao didn't say much. Cheng Yu didn't know the truth and thought that there was still food in Nanyang. Cao Cao couldn't be more clear.

[Well, this time without two years of savings, it is impossible to do another match with Liu Xuande. Nanyang is known as the most affluent place in the world, and it is possible to train such a team of more than 70,000 people in one year There will never be such a good opportunity in the world. 】Xun You thought bitterly in his heart that more than 60,000 veterans who had seen blood and were fully armored were buried in the Xuzhou Plain.

[Wen Ruo is not invincible, a clever woman can hardly cook without rice, and this wave of veterans has been ruined. We have no way to participate in any battles in the short term, and there are only more than 10,000 veterans left in Yanzhou. There are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in the fields, and even defending Yanzhou is a problem, without years of training. With more than five battles, it is simply impossible to have so many veterans. 】

Cao Cao took the lead, and thought painfully, there are more than 60,000 veterans who have seen blood. Back then, Xun Wenruo recruited a whole hundred thousand new soldiers. The more than 70,000 people who barely survived until now!

Now in addition to the 10,000 people who were handed over to Cao Ren to guard Wancheng, the 3,000 people were handed over to Le Jin to guard Fan County. The remaining 60,000 people were buried in Liu Bei's hands.

[Even if there is a bumper harvest this year, the new army can only be used to support it now, at the earliest, even if there is no shortage of soldiers and food. The first batch of veterans who have barely completed training will be available in April next year. 】

Thinking of this, Xun You felt a sense of despair. The remaining veterans in Yanzhou who could fight were only 15,000 at most. The level is not enough.

【If this year's harvest is as good as last year, things will turn around. Otherwise, our army will have to train recruits and guard against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. When Liu Bei captured Yanzhou, the grain could not be used at all. 】

Cao Cao looked up at the sky bitterly, silently praying for a good weather this year. Otherwise, he would have to give up most of Yanzhou. He would have no soldiers to use, and the troops on hand would not be able to defend the entire Yanzhou mainland, even Nanyang and Chen Liu. All three places in Yingchuan are deficient.

[I hope uncle can think of a solution, this is no longer the general's problem. But there are really no soldiers to use, and the whole Yanzhou has no danger to defend. 】Xun You thought about it back and forth, and finally had no choice but to give up. As he said, there are no soldiers, and the whole Yanzhou is completely gone.

[It seems that we can only give signs to the young and strong first, and find a way to overcome this difficulty, but if you want to use the new army to defend the entire Yanzhou, you can't defend it without 300,000. The food and grass that the 300,000 new army needs...]

Cao Cao's complexion is pale, even if the Hedong Wei family and Chen Liuwei's family are emptied, it is impossible to support 300,000 troops. After thinking about it, we need to train, buy new weapons and equipment, and warm up the weapons and equipment. Cao Cao He deeply understands that it is impossible for him to recover from it for more than a year.

[How did Liu Xuande manage to raise so many soldiers? His field soldiers have been training all the time. How could he have so much food, and he has carried out universal education and greatly improved the welfare of soldiers. 】Xun You frowned. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he thinks about how Liu Bei's 130,000 troops were raised.

Liu Bei is completely unaware of the concerns of Xun You and Cao Cao. He is now throwing a banquet to celebrate the victory. Pull out a new army of more than 60,000 people with complete armor and weapons at any time.

It is said that Liu Bei is different from Cao Cao, and his field soldiers also spent a lot of food and grass for training.

Although the training intensity of the field soldiers will reach half of that of regular soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of field soldiers after all.

As long as it is necessary, Yu Jin can directly select healthy young and middle-aged men from among the hundreds of thousands of field soldiers, conduct intensive training for more than a month, and then organize more than 60,000 people into the former veteran army regiment, and then Organize all the soldiers under the entire rule.

The new legion with two-thirds of the veterans as the backbone will not reduce the combat effectiveness at all. That is to say, Liu Bei can no longer worry about the problem of weapons and equipment and recruits this time, and directly draw 60,000 people from the field soldiers to build a new legion. This guy Cao Cao successfully let Liu Bei solve the next problem of regular army construction.

Tao Qian, who was lying on the hospital bed on the other side, listened to the information Chen Deng was reading, and waved his hand to indicate that Chen Deng could leave.

By this time, Tao Qian had already taken many things very lightly. Cao Cao must have not heard from him, and Liu Xuande really never thought of interfering in Xuzhou's affairs. He really couldn't understand Cao Cao's behavior. Cao Cao desperately.

【Alas, if I knew today, why bother to be a different person inside and outside. 】Tao Qian lay on the hospital bed and already knew that he might not last long, 【Fortunately, Liu Xuande is indeed a benevolent person. If Xuzhou is handed over to him, my second son will be safe under his protection. 】

Tao Qian thought with some guilt that people who are about to die speak well. Tao Qian, who planned for his son, has now completely figured out that what he wants now is nothing but for his own family descendants. Xuzhou was sent to Liu Bei. Since Liu Bei also doesn't like those aristocratic families who regard the people as pigs and dogs, there is no conflict between their ideas.

[Cao Bao, good you Cao Bao, you are not a pity to die, Liu Xuande must not take action against your family if he wants to appease Xuzhou, then I will clean up those scourges in Xuzhou for Liu Xuande first, and let them go down to accompany you! 】Tao Qian's eyes flashed coldly. He had been restricting the family before, but he didn't want to hunt geese all day long and be pecked by geese instead. How could these evils continue to exist.

【Liu Xuande, that's all I can do to help you. I hope you won't be deceived by the family like me. There's not much I, Tao Qian, can do for you before I die! 】Tao Qian sat up, his whole body was extremely weak, but his eyes were full of energy. Xuzhou's aristocratic family had restricted him for many years, how could they let them continue to add obstacles to his next appointment. (to be continued)
