Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

After Cao Cao read the secret letter sent by Chen Xi, he summoned all the current main advisers under him. The battle report sent by Chen Xi really made Cao Cao feel desperate for Liu Bei's fighting power.

"Let's all take a look." Because they were all the main advisers, Cao Cao was not too formal. After inviting everyone to sit down, he put up the battle report sent by Chen Xi for everyone to browse.

After reading it, Xun Yu's face was gloomy, Cheng Yu's face was livid, Xun You's eyes were expressionless, he didn't know whether it was a tree, or he was lost in the sky, Chen Qun sighed and didn't know what to say, Mao Jie raised his forehead and didn't know anymore What expression should I use? Liu Ba opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.

After Sima Lang put down the battle report, he sighed, full of helplessness towards his distant cousin, "Master, can this battle be fought?"

Cheng Yu's face was livid, and he wanted to get up several times, but in the end he could only sigh. This battle is really hopeless. With their wisdom, they can naturally see that there is no fraud in this war game, let alone It's faked, and normal people wouldn't make such a bad trick if they wanted to!

Huangfusong came up with ingenious tricks one after another, and Chen Xi often ignored the head and tail, but Huangfusong still lost, and it can even be said that the loss was completely unreasonable. If you make a lot of tricks, even if you lose ten times in the face of Chen Xi, you can still win. If the soldiers fight again, they can kill your opponent if they catch you. A temporary victory is completely meaningless. Even if they wreak havoc on the property they ruled, they still can't drag Chen Xi to death.

"And this." Cao Cao handed everyone another battle report. Regarding the information about the 100,000 shield guards, Chen Xi directly sent the relevant information and showed it to Cao Cao openly.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, who knew what the shield guards were, suddenly had an image of a city wall being pushed down in their minds, feeling a little desperate.

"How much money does it cost to be armed?" Cao Cao said with a sigh.

Cao Cao also knew about Huangfu's personal guards. It should be said that Huangfusong did not hide much in this regard. What's more, during the Yellow Turban years, Huangfusong had personally led Cao Cao, and there was still a kind of incense between the two sides.

Therefore, after Huangfu Song came out of the mountain and Cao Cao personally visited, Huangfu Song answered all the questions left by Cao Cao's military strategy and training for Cao Cao one by one with reference to his own experience. Listen to what Huangfu Song said.

Speaking of this, I have to mention it again. Although Cao Cao was born after a eunuch, he was indeed valued by many people when he was young. Many bigwigs in the previous generation were very optimistic about Cao Cao, and Huang Fusong was one of them.

From what Huangfusong told, generally all elite units have strong combat effectiveness, either training is difficult, or the cost is too high; while training is not difficult, and combat effectiveness is strong, it will definitely cost money, after all, any one All elite units need to balance these three aspects.

Of course, it is not that there is no unit with a particularly high cost performance, but that kind of unit basically has quite strict internal requirements.

For example, Duan Jiong's sharp warrior, this is a very cost-effective unit. As long as the training is successful and a steel sword is given, it can basically have the top combat effectiveness among the elite.

However, in fact, Duan Jiong imitated the elites of the pre-Qin period and created the elite army. In addition to defensive weaknesses, there is actually another fatal weakness, that is, the adaptability of soldiers.

After all, this unit is also a product of Duan Jiong's major reform. It is basically different from the iron eagle warriors of the pre-Qin period. It is even too much to say that it has basically nothing to do with it. In addition, the elites of the Qin army are the elites of the other six countries. Treemaps don't even stick.

Duan Jiong used the tree diagram extended by the Wei Army to refer to the gadgets made by the Tieying Ruishi. In essence, it is probably a nominal connection. The core strength of the Qin Army's elite has long been lost. Of course, the combat effectiveness has been maintained. Down, in exchange, produced another drawback.

I really thought it was so easy to burst out at a speed beyond the limit in an instant. It was difficult for normal soldiers to adapt to this kind of ultra-high-speed movement, and even after a burst of thrusts, they would feel dizzy and nauseous.

This is why the fourteenth combination was so turbulent at the time, and they changed their talents directly after using two short-range thrusts in a row, because the soldiers themselves couldn't adapt to such a high burst speed.

If it can perform twenty explosive stabs and slashes like the headquarters led by Duan Jiong back then, most of the legions will be the targets of cutting vegetables. However, the cost is not high, the training is not difficult, and the combat effectiveness The biggest problem with the explosive legion is the endurance of human beings.

Normal people don't need such short-range thrusts in a row, they just throw up after playing like this a few times, but the core of Duan Jiong Ruishi is to sharpen the sword and slash at high speed. The higher the efficiency.

If it weren't for Cheng Yu's spiritual talent that allows people to adapt to any unnatural environment and the state of human beings, it would be impossible for Cao Jun to complete Duan Jiong's sharp warrior.

However, as mentioned above, all elite units have difficulties of one kind or another, and Huangfusong's personal guards belong to the elite with extremely high cost investment, low training difficulty, and extremely terrifying combat effectiveness.

Cao Cao had also been interested in this before, but looking at the cost of the large plate armor shield, he silently chose the Ruishi, but it was too expensive.

Even though Wei Zi had just donated five billion to Cao Cao not long ago, Cao Cao did not dare to equip his three thousand tiger guards with shield guards.

Even though Cao Cao knew that his Tiger Guards wearing this suit, combined with Dian Wei's legion's natural muscle strength liberation, could almost be called a battlefield killing machine, Cao Cao still gave up this idea.

Because it takes 4.5 billion yuan to equip 3,000 big men weighing more than 200 catties. In this case, it is better to change clothes for more soldiers. At that moment, Cao Cao clearly felt the charm of money, and now Chen Xi wants to arm 100,000 people.

Even if 100,000 people are only standard soldiers weighing 140 jin, Cao Cao feels his heart is broken. How much steel is needed!

"If you have money, can you really do whatever you want?" Cao Cao asked inexplicably, and the others couldn't help being taken aback, then fell silent.

Liu Ba coughed lightly, diverted everyone's attention, and gave Cao Cao a step up, "If the current standard of steel is used to calculate the cost, such a hundred thousand people, including the cost of arming and raising troops, will cost about one year in the first year." About 150 billion yuan."

Everyone at the scene gasped when they heard the words. Although they roughly estimated that the amount would be astonishingly large, when Liu Bazhen said such an astronomical figure, everyone couldn't restrain the shock in their hearts. At that time, whether there was so much money in the treasury was a problem, not to mention that this was the first year, and there were other expenses for raising soldiers!

"However, money is not calculated in this way. If the steel mills, mines, manpower, resources consumed by military training, etc. are only the output of their own industries, and the added value is not calculated." Liu Ba pressed his temple, "The numbers will be Shocked you."

"We have heard about 150 billion yuan, what else can shock us!" Cheng Yu waved his hands, while Xun Yu and Chen Qun showed a little thoughtful expression.

"It will be reduced to less than 10 billion yuan, or even less. If Chen Hou really completes the complete industry from top to bottom, and can cover all related material consumption, then for the other party, these are not money, but It's time and manpower, as long as there is time and manpower, you can have as much as you want." Liu Ba spread his hands, "If I guess correctly, the other party has already completed it."

All the civil servants were horrified when they heard the words. If it was like this, there would be no need to fight. The war is about logistics, and the opponent has almost unlimited logistics.

"..." Cao Cao touched his prickly beard, "Is this why you want to hang our property on top of theirs all the year round?"

"I was found to be kicked once, and then I persisted in pretending to be my own." Liu Ba said helplessly, "We started too late, and the industries we involved were not enough in quality or quantity. Even coolies are not enough, I estimate that if I want to do that, it will take at least 20 years, and the time can be reduced by more than half if I hang on to him."

Cao Cao sighed, turned his head to look at Chen Qun, and Chen Qun looked aside helplessly, there was nothing he could do.

"It seems that we don't need to say anything more. Since we can't beat them, we should calm down and put on a show. I think they won't make things difficult for us in the current situation. I don't have any thoughts about fighting anymore." Cao Cao said with a wry smile, if this is the enemy of life and death, then it's nothing to say, even if you can't beat it, you have to fight it, but this is not the case.

Cao Cao's words made everyone feel sad, but everyone present is a smart generation, how can they not know that letting go is also a choice under the current situation. Although they are not reconciled, before the flag of the Han Empire has not fallen, they There is really no point in fighting to the death.

After all, they haven't turned their backs to the point of not acknowledging the banner of the Han Dynasty. Although the three parties have conflicts, they haven't quarreled to the point of blood spattering, and they are still within the scope of cooperation to seek common ground while reserving differences.

"Then the focus of our work is still on the relocation of military resources. Zixiao, Gongming and the others have sent back the news, and Zidan and the others have also sent maps. I mean, how about training troops both externally and internally? Seeing the expressions of understanding on the faces of the most important counselors under his command, Cao Cao took a deep breath and made his own choice.

"I used to be a military adviser." Mao Jie was silent for a while and introduced himself. Compared with other people, he realized that he was the most suitable after a little thought. After all, other people were too conspicuous, and those who were not here were not qualified enough.
