[PS (Not a word count): The previous chapter is redundant because I have to explain things in real life. Some clues will be used in the plot later.]
After dealing with some matters in real life, Yang Rui felt a lot more relaxed. After cleaning up the interior of the villa, Yang Rui entered the soul of Mount Tai Palace and logged back into the game.
There were only four to five game days left until Yang Rui decided on the crusade against Cao Cao. All the generals in the game were in the midst of a tense handover. Overall, there were quite a lot of people assigned to the crusade against Cao Cao.
The generals on the battlefield were easier to hand over. The most difficult ones were the "Princess Army" from before. Under the unified deployment of Zhang Ning and Ren Sisi, they had to fill in the vacancies after the deployment. Almost all of them were sent out.
The result of Zhang Ning and Ren Sisi's discussion was that two Princess Army members were sent to fill in the vacancies after the deployment. They were afraid that there would be some mistakes.
Under the full coordination of everyone, even if the deployment area was very wide and the scope was very large, Yang Rui's territory was still very orderly. It was really hard for them in this cold weather.
It couldn't be helped. No matter if it was the country war with the American civilization or the occurrence of the Force Dispersion, they were all things that would happen in the near future. Yang Rui had less than a game year left, so he had to start preparing now.
At the same time, although the cold winter season wasn't good for war, it was equal for both sides. Yang Rui's side had many factors affecting it, and the other side also had similar difficulties. It was just a matter of who had more methods to deal with the difficulties.
Of course, Yang Rui dared to prepare for a military operation in the cold winter weather because he had abundant resources as a foundation. The cold weather was a little cold, even colder than normal years, but Yang Rui requested that every soldier be equipped with thick warm clothes and various other resources.
Not only that, Yang Rui also ordered to double the supplies for every soldier and increase a large amount of meat, so that the proportion of meat in all the meals would not be less than a third. This was to ensure that the soldiers would have a full and good meal.
It could be said that Yang Rui put in a lot of effort in food and clothing. Under the situation where the entire three civilizations were struggling with hunger, it was definitely a very generous treatment.
Under such circumstances, even if the weather was bad, the combat power of Yang Rui's soldiers was guaranteed. At the same time, the most important thing was the morale of Yang Rui's soldiers.
A long time ago, Yang Rui had implemented a military subsidy system in his territory. The families of the soldiers who were in the military would receive a corresponding amount of subsidy. At the same time, the soldiers who died would also receive a large amount of subsidy, enough to let the families of the related families not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. This was unprecedented in the current game background.
Such a comprehensive guarantee filled Yang Rui's soldiers with fighting spirit. At the beginning, many of them were even filled with the belief that they would die, especially those who had just struggled from hunger. Many of them were willing to give up their lives in exchange for food and clothing for their families.
Hence, on the battlefield, Yang Rui's soldiers fought without any scruples and without any regard for their lives. As such, one could imagine the combat power of his troops.
In comparison, the mentality of the soldiers of the other vassals in the three civilizations was very different. Many of the vassals' soldiers were even forcefully recruited, so the difference in morale between the two sides was obvious.
Another obvious difference was the food supply. In the current setting, most of the vassals' rations could only barely maintain themselves. Many of the vassals could not even give out the full amount of rations to their soldiers.
In the game, Yang Rui did not do any specific research. There were only some rumors. However, these rumors were definitely groundless and not baseless.
At the very least, there were similar incidents in history and romance, such as Cao Cao's small battle. There were many similar incidents, and the situation was similar in the game.
"Husband, we've already transported two portions of rations from Mountain River City, enough for 600,000 people to use for a month. We also have at least half of the rations in Hulao Pass to prepare for any abnormal situations. The carriages and horses are still continuously transporting to these two places to ensure that we have enough rations for the war against the Cao Dynasty …"
After Yang Rui went online, he first went to Hulao Pass — Mountain River City's front line to check on the rations in these two places. The military law stated that before the army moved, the rations would move first. This highlighted the importance of rations in a cold weapons battlefield.
In a cold weapons environment, there were no effective transportation tools. Hence, it was difficult to transport rations. This also highlighted its importance. It was quite different from a war in the real world.
"Yes, other than Mountain River City and Hulao Pass, after the army starts moving, we can prioritize sending rations to Yangwu County and Yuanwu County to supply Zhang Liao and Yu Jin's vanguard troops."
After hearing Wei Xiu 'er's brief introduction, Yang Rui said to her.
After the Battle of Guandu's storyline, Yang Rui took action to shake Cao Cao's foundation. He took down Mountain River Pass and Mountain River City, destroyed Mountain River Pass, and occupied Mountain River City. From there, he opened up a hole in Cao Cao's most important defensive line.
At the same time, while Cao Cao was holed up in defense, Yang Rui's troops took down Yangwu County and Yuanwu County, the two closest cities. They formed a defensive triangle with Mountain River City. This was equivalent to forcefully inserting a wedge into Cao Cao's forces. It could also be used as a cornerstone for Yang Rui to send troops to Cao Cao.
"Yes, Sir!"
At this time, she was not facing Yang Rui's general order. Wei Xiu 'er still pretended to be obedient and bowed to Yang Rui. Ever since she was cashed out in the real world, Wei Xiu 'er's dressing had also changed. Her clothes were simpler but still pretty.
Yang Rui had even seen Wei Xiu 'er trying on a white-collar suit when he was offline. At that time, it seemed that Wei Xiu' er was indeed very suited for professional attire.
Yang Rui's initial arrangement of the three vanguard troops was not done on a whim. He wanted to use the three vanguard troops as plows and rakes to 'cultivate' Cao Cao's scattered forces.
At the same time, Yang Rui requested that the three vanguard troops should not normally attack a city. Firstly, cavalry did not have an advantage in attacking a city. Secondly, Yang Rui wanted to use the mobility of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Yu Jin to cut off the forces outside of Cao Cao's cities. He even wanted to cut off the connections and resources between the cities, isolating each city.
