At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Shanhai Town Council Hall.
"Everyone, now we are discussing about the battle of Zhuolu. First of all, I want to know the number of troops you lead." Ouyang Shuo said.
Everyone reported their titles. Mulanyue and Siege Lion are third-class viscounts and can lead a hundred people. Xunlong Dianxue is a second-class viscount who can lead two hundred people. Bai Hua has the highest title, a first-class viscount, and can lead three hundred people. Adding up the four of them, there are only 700 soldiers in total, which is not as many soldiers as Ouyang Shuo alone.
After counting the number of troops, Ouyang Shuo continued: "This battle is called the Battle of Zhuolu. According to historical data, it should be divided into two camps, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. What do you think about the choice of camp? In advance, I will definitely choose the Yellow Emperor camp this time."
The siege lion was speechless, and said, "Brother, you have already chosen your camp, why are you asking us?"
Ouyang Shuo was also a little embarrassed, coughed intentionally, and said, "Ahem, the alliance does not make mandatory requirements for the choice of this camp, it's just a matter of ventilating in advance, even if you choose the opposite camp, it doesn't matter. Maybe, in the future When the needs of alliance members conflict, they have to choose the opposite camp."
Xunlong nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Brother Wuyi is right. If in any battle, you want to subdue the generals of this camp, and he wants to subdue the generals of the other camp, then you have to choose to fight against each other." This is normal. And, having said that, choosing the opposite camp is not necessarily a bad thing, and maybe we can pass messages to each other at that time.” As expected of a mission madman, Xunlong Dianxue’s understanding of the game is obviously better. for thoroughness.
Mulanyue was the first to express her opinion, and said coquettishly: "Since Brother Wuyi chooses the Yellow Emperor's camp, then I will also choose the Yellow Emperor's camp. They only have a hundred troops, but they are counting on Brother Wuyi to protect them."
"No problem!" Ouyang Shuo still had a good impression of Mulan Yue. Besides, Mu Guiying alone is worth hundreds of troops.
"I also choose the Yellow Emperor camp." Bai Hua followed suit.
"Ditto!" The siege lion said funny.
Only Xunlong clicked the acupuncture points with a chuckle and said: "I think the Chiyou camp is more interesting. As the defeated side in history, maybe there are some hidden rewards that can be unearthed."
"Okay, then it's settled." Ouyang Shuo said.
As a reborn, Ouyang Shuo decided to reveal some tips about the battle to several allies. Of course, in order not to arouse their suspicions, Ouyang Shuo spoke in a more tactful way, saying, "I have some small guesses about this battle, let me tell you, and we can give advice together."
"Please speak!" Bai Hua said in unison.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "First of all, it's about logistics and supplies. Have you ever thought that the era of the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was still in the historical period of slash-and-burn cultivation. Only about 100 people. According to the average calculation of 200 troops led by a lord, that is 20,000 troops. When assigned to a camp, it is about 10,000 people. In your opinion, the Yellow Emperor’s Youxiong Tribe or Chi You’s Jiuli With the conditions of the tribe, can they afford the food and grass of so many troops?"
Xunlong tapped his acupuncture points and shook his head, and said: "Of course not. It's good that they can feed themselves. How can there be more food for us. What Brother Wuyi means is that we need to bring our own food and grass for this expedition? But with so much grain and grass, transportation is a big problem. There are only so few quotas in total, so we can’t even give some to the grain transportation team. Then what’s the point of fighting, let’s just fight soy sauce.”
Bai Hua's heart skipped a beat, remembering that during the military parade in the morning, Shanhai Town prepared a regular army of 1,000 men, and there was no logistics force. She knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Maybe Wuyi already has a solution?"
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Bai Hua appreciatively, and said, "That's right. When I was shopping in the market, I saw a special item called Junliang Pills. Out of curiosity, I bought one, and it turned out to be a food in the shape of a wax pellet. A small military ration pill can supplement the energy needed by a soldier for a day."
"How much is the price?" Xunlong Dianxue asked eagerly.
"Such miraculous military grain pills are naturally not cheap. One military grain pill costs 1 silver coin. A normal soldier consumes 2 units of food and grass every day, which is 20 copper coins. The cost of military grain pills is five times that of the latter."
"That's a good deal, it's better than having a large group of logistics troops behind you. Hehe, but Brother Wuyi, you will be in trouble. With such a large number of people, you need a lot of military rations." Xunlong Dianxue said gloatingly.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said nothing, how would he know about searching for dragon acupuncture points? With Shanhai Town's financial resources, a small military ration pill is not a burden.
An army of 1,000 people, plus horses, would cost about 15 gold coins. Even if the battle lasted for a month, it was only four or five hundred gold coins. Compared with the harvest in the battle, this investment is nothing.
"In addition to the military ration pills, there is also a marching tent. This kind of marching tent is detachable and foldable. A marching tent can accommodate five soldiers. Of course, good products are not cheap. A marching tent like this is sold for sale. The price is 1 gold coin." Ouyang Shuo continued.
"Okay, with these two artifacts, the logistics will be worry-free." The Siege Lion said excitedly.
Bai Hua also had a joyful face, with a pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Ouyang Shuo, trying to see through the man in front of him. She really couldn't figure it out, how could Wuyi know the game so well, was it just because of her carefulness? In other words, he really has such a powerful game talent, able to discover things that others cannot. Take the military ration pills and marching tents as an example, the system is so blatantly placed on the market, but no one has discovered their value.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and then said: "Actually, there are many magical items in the market. When you are free, you can go shopping more. Maybe there will be some surprises waiting for you. Gadgets like signal flares , don’t I need to remind everyone?”
"That's all I can think of. As for the specific tactical arrangement, I'd like to hear the opinions of Mr. Gong and you." Ouyang Shuo looked at Ju Shou behind the siege lion, and said with a smile.
Everyone sitting here, if you want to talk about strategy, it is natural that Jushou is the first.
Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo was still thinking about letting Ge Hongliang take the lead in this tactical arrangement. After seeing that the siege lion brought Jushou, a well-known counselor of the Three Kingdoms, he immediately canceled this arrangement. He didn't want Ge Hongliang to play tricks in front of Jushou.
Bai Hua, Xunlong Dianxue and Mulanyue were not stupid, they all agreed with Ouyang Shuo's choice and looked at Jushou together.
Being watched by so many people, Ju Shou didn't panic at all, stood up calmly, bowed to everyone, and said: "Thanks to the lord of Shanhai Town for his attention, then Ju will make a fool of himself."
"Sir, please tell me!" Ouyang Shuo said sincerely.
"According to historical records, the Battle of Zhuolu should be a protracted war. There are nine battles in three years. During the protracted confrontation, tentative small-scale battles may occur at any time. Therefore, if you want to win this battle In addition to the final decisive battle, small-scale confrontation is not ruled out. Therefore, Ju suggested that when selecting troops to participate in the war, you should try to choose troops with strong mobility and strong individual combat capabilities. In addition The lord of Shanhai Town just mentioned the two sharp weapons, the military ration pill and the marching tent, then this battle can take the lead." Ju Shou said.
Clap clap, Ouyang Shuo took the lead in applauding, and said with a smile, "Mr. is really extraordinary!"
After discussing the battle, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
So far, the first gathering of the Shanhai League has officially come to an end.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo prepared a small gift for everyone. What was given to Qin Qiong was a jar of Sanhua wine. What was given to Jushou was a top-quality pekoe tea exclusively for the Lord's Mansion. The siege lion and Xunlong were given acupuncture points, each with a high-quality Tang knife.
As for the three Baihua sisters and Mulanyue, they were all presented with high-quality colored silk, which was very suitable for the daughter's family to sew clothes. The last one was Mu Guiying. After careful consideration, Ouyang Shuo decided to give her a Dark Gold Horned Bow. This was the only one made by the Crossbow Division.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo did this was because Mulan Town and Shanhai Town both belong to the Lianzhou Basin, so there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future. It is very necessary to win over the core figures of Mulan Town in advance. Maybe at some point, Mulan Town and Shanhai Town will become a family, and there will be no disadvantages.
After sending off his allies, Ouyang Shuo began to prepare for this battle.
The gold of Langshan Ore in the first half of May has been delivered ahead of schedule, with a total of 4,000 gold coins. Among them, the North Sea Fleet needs to pay 500 gold coins to form a second naval battalion.
Entering the high-end market, Ouyang Shuo began to purchase. His current storage bag has been expanded twice, with a space capacity of 100 cubic meters. If it is only used by him alone, it is completely enough. But considering that a lot of military supplies will be carried this time, 100 cubic meters is not enough.
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and spent 1,000 gold coins directly to buy a large space stone to expand the storage bag to 1,000 cubic meters, which is equivalent to a cube with a side length of 10 meters, which is already big enough. As for the highest level of giant space stones, they are simply not available for sale on the market. Even if there is, with Ouyang Shuo's current financial resources, he can't afford it, definitely not less than 50,000 gold coins.
Spatial equipment itself is a challenge to the ancient order. It is a bug-level item, which is equivalent to an artifact. It is of course not that easy to increase its space capacity.
