Chapter four hundred and eighty third where the interests lie

The first large-scale battle in the game that actively interferes with weather was made public, which caused a lot of discussion on the game forum. What is even more unexpected is that the one who used the weather to fight this time was not a top strategist with profound wisdom or a giant of the Yellow Turban Army known as a master of numerology, but a small cavalry general.

What's more interesting is that this is a successful battle example formed by actively changing the climate, rather than relying on the natural changes in the weather. The emergence of this tactic immediately opened up the imagination of the majority of players. I believe that more similar tactical methods will definitely appear on the battlefield in the future.

Li Shehu himself is also famous. In the battle called the Battle of Fog Night by players, Li Shehu wiped out the player's troops, and the player's troops killed each other in a total of more than 70,000, including more than 10,000 Gongsun Zan's troops. Of course, Li Shehu would not admit to attacking Gongsun Zan's troops, and Gongsun Zan also claimed that he misunderstood the player's troops in the heavy fog and caused casualties.

This battle almost destroyed the players in Liaodong. At least the mobile combat power of the players' forces was basically temporarily lost. It also took time to reorganize and assemble such a number of troops. What's more important is the money. More than 70,000 cavalry is a very heavy loss.

After the battle, the player's troops quickly disappeared on the grassland. There were almost no troops from the large players in northern Liaodong, leaving only those scattered players and small and medium-sized forces. Even Gongsun Zan's troops hurriedly retreated to Zhangwu City, and Li Shehu became a domineering on the northeastern plain in Liaodong.

"Flying shooting, organize two thousand cavalry teams to launch flying shooting. Pay attention to the opponent's catapults and giant crossbows. After the heavy crossbow soldiers shoot, they must immediately transfer their positions to avoid the enemy's long-range strikes."

After Li Shehu was in power and crippled the mobile troops of the player's power, Li Shehu immediately began to siege the newly built player city on the grassland.

Although the cavalry's siege is not very effective, and although the long-range strike force in the city is difficult to suppress, Li Shihu still insists on attacking the player's city. The purpose is to consume the player's troops and financial strength, and hinder and attack the player's city's growth.

In fact, due to the heavy losses of the player's mobile troops, and the player as the main battle force has not yet been resurrected, the counterattack power in the city is also very limited. As long as Li Schhu pays attention to the micro-camera, the actual loss is extremely small. On the contrary, the loss in the city seems a bit too huge.

In a second-level town, there are only 30,000 militias and defenders. After being besieged by Li Shehu for one or two days, the defenders were basically consumed. Players had to wear battles, but the effect was also very limited. Perhaps players were still very effective in dealing with infantry sieges, but when facing crossbowmen sieges, their role was extremely limited. In addition to being able to be a blood shield, it seemed that they could only rely on auxiliary skills to play.

Unfortunately, even as a blood shield, it was useless under the precise shooting of the generals under Li Shehu.

The player city on the grassland was captured and destroyed for the first time. Li Shehu would not bring these 30,000 to 50,000 old and weak prisoners at all. Instead, he directly issued a task to allow players who supported Fang Zhiwen to escort back to Fengning County, and he rushed to the next target. On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen recalled Gao Shun urgently and equipped Gao Shun with 20,000 heavy-mounted dragon cavalry in Fengning City, allowing him to go to support Li Shehu without stopping. He strives to take advantage of the good situation Li Shehu has created this time to completely clean up the player forces in northeastern Liaodong.

Gao Shun's appearance caused the player forces in northern Liaodong to fall into dire straits. Unlike Li Shehu's attack, Gao Shun's heavy infantry was simply a devastating battle against the player's city. In addition, more and more scattered players who took advantage of the water dog came to help, and the players who had an advantage in ranged weapons completely fell into the abyss.

Especially when the flag of the "Staminating Camp" was flying high on the city wall, all players realized that Gao Shun, under Lu Bu, had fallen into Fang Zhiwen's hands. This fierce and powerful general who claimed to be invincible, made all the players who were against Fang Zhiwen frightened. The players' groups that lived on Fengning County and Miyun's secret roads and participated in the Youzhou Incident in ambiguous manner all jumped out and expressed their firmness. The flag stood firmly on Fang Zhiwen's side, sternly denounced the player forces that undermined the stability and unity of Youzhou, and actively sent troops to assist Fang Zhiwen in attacking those accomplices who had been completely sold. Even Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan began to timidly express their rejection of those players.

This time, these player forces that were unilaterally declared as hostile forces by Fang Zhiwen were completely defeated into the rebellion camp and became rats crossing the street!

Cui Lin was beaten down the water dog with great enthusiasm, and Li Shehu and Gao Shun were also advancing all the way, capturing and destroying all the player strongholds north of Zhangwu and Chengxian one by one. Although many players criticized Li Shehu for destroying the nearest supply point, which would affect the attack on the Hu tribe in the north, this opposition voice was not even considered a scum in the face of the powerful combat power of Li Shehu and Gao Shun.

Before the war started, Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng believed that it was not the time to fully start the war and unify Youzhou, so they were not interested in spreading the war for a long time. When Li Shehu used a wonderful battle to push the war to the most favorable side, Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng would naturally increase their investment in time to push the war to end as soon as possible, because this war had almost no great benefits except for being able to obtain a demographic dividend that was not too large from the hands of the player forces, especially in strategy, there was not enough benefits, because Fang Zhiwen could neither take the opportunity to occupy eastern Liaodong nor let Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu bow down.

In short, Fang Zhiwen does not want to start a war, at least he does not want to start a war at this time. Fang Zhiwen hopes to vigorously develop his economic and military power and actively exert external influence at this time, so that the situation in the surrounding and even further regions can develop in the direction he expected.

"Deshu, Youzhou is ultimately our Youzhou, but now our strength is not capable of occupying the entire Youzhou alone, so we should maintain the relatively stable pattern of Youzhou for the time being, and Deshu should stop at the right time and don't continue to expand the scope of attack."

Fang Zhiwen raised his hand and signaled Cui Lin to use tea. He also picked up Tai Shi Zhaorong's newly cooked fragrant tea, took a sip, and gave Tai Shi Zhaorong a happy smile.

Cui Lin also picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising: "Madam's tea is unique! Good tea!"

"Mr. Cui is too rewarded!" Taishi Zhaorong bowed gracefully and thanked her.

Cui Lin smiled: "Lord, why don't you clean up the alien forces in Changli County?"

"Let Liu Yu do this. We try our best to force Liu Yu to take action from the ground up and destroy the forces we designated."

"Counter-espionage!"

"Yes!" Fang Zhiwen nodded and responded faintly.

"Lord, I know that the lord does not want to unify Youzhou now because he is worried that the Yiren's power will be out of control, and we may implement a more severe Yiren policy. In this way, the benefits of unifying Youzhou will outweigh the disadvantages."

Cui Lin’s idea is not unreasonable. Integrating the resources of the entire Youzhou, Fang Zhiwen will naturally develop faster. The question is, is this expansion necessary? In the state of Jizhou being divided into various parts and Bingzhou confrontation between north and south, there is no force around Youzhou that threatens Fang Zhiwen at all. If Fang Zhiwen unifies Youzhou, it will cause the surrounding forces to be wary. On the other hand, the sudden change in policies will lead to the collapse of the order based on the contract established by Fang Zhiwen.

On the other hand, if the player forces with vested interests in Youzhou can't easily give up their own interests? There must be a battle here. Cui Lin's idea is to actively suppress the Yiren's power, so that Yiren's ambitions dare not act rashly, while Fang Zhiwen's idea is to constantly improve his strength, so that Yiren will give up unrealistic ideas.

The results of these two ideas are the same, but the processes are completely different. The impact on Youzhou's future is very different, and it also has a completely different impact on the future development of Fang Zhiwen.

"The orders and orders are changed every day are not governments! This is one of them; if Youzhou is unified, it will occuplate the northeast and cause uneasiness in the surrounding areas. This is the second; if Youzhou is owned by me, those who are in line with the power of others will prosper and rebellious, and those who have to rebel will have to rebel. If civil strife is a man of the kingdom, it is not advisable for the surrounding areas to ignore it. Although Youzhou is a state in the north, it is also the Youzhou of the Han Dynasty. The pattern of Youzhou must be unified with the entire Han Dynasty. You must never be the first."

Fang Zhiwen's words were very rich in connotation. After thinking for a while, Cui Lin's wisdom, he could not understand Fang Zhiwen's ideas and concepts. Fang Zhiwen's core idea was based on the interests relationship between the indigenous people and the stranger. The so-called situation of the entire Han Dynasty refers to the conflict of interest between the fate of Yi people and the indigenous homes. It cannot be completely concentrated in Youzhou. Only when this fierce conflict of interest exists widely within the entire Han Dynasty is the time for Youzhou to unify.

Taishi Zhaorong was also thinking about her husband's words. It contained the core strategic ideas of Fang Zhiwen, which was a good entry point for interpreting the way Fang Zhiwen acted and chose. Of course, Taishi Zhaorong hoped to better understand her husband.

After a long time, Cui Lin let out a sigh and said in admiration: "The lord's words are very good, and I have been taught!"

"The viewpoint and starting point are different, and the concept of De and Confucianism may not be wrong!"

Fang Zhiwen waved his hand and no longer got involved in this dull topic, but turned to the issue of the upcoming government affairs meeting at the end of the year. Fengning County's development this year is still quite good, especially the war horse trade, which has brought rich benefits to Fengning County. With the expansion of the scale of war horse breeding, Fengning City's animal husbandry technology has been continuously improved, and the huge industrial chain led by war horse trading is also rapidly forming and improving the entire Fengning County. In Fang Zhiwen's eyes, these profound interest relationships are the real cornerstone of Youzhou's stability.
