Xi Zhicai and Chen Deng discussed each other, while Tao Ying said nothing, closed his eyes and silently searched the geographical map in his brain, corresponding one by one to the strategic defense points mentioned by the two.

"We cannot give up completely without taking over Bingzhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou!"

Since returning from Luoyang, Tao Ying has been thinking hard about strategic choices, but has always been hesitant. At this time, Jing Xi Zhicai and Chen Deng analyzed it in a few words, and Tao Ying's ideas gradually became clear.

"Xuzhou can give up the area south of the East China Sea, and Yanzhou can temporarily not take Chenliu. In this way, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou will be connected together, and the strategic depth will be enough!"

Tao Ying's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the study room.

"Yuanlong, after returning to the plains, immediately form the Jizhou Corps. You will be the military advisor, Ji Ling will be the commander, Pan Zhang, Sun Guan, Lu Kuang, and Lun Zhi will be the generals. They will command 50,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.

Preparations to capture Jizhou!"

"Set up the Youzhou Corps, with Tian Yu as military advisor, Zhao Yun as commander, Ma Zhong and Xia Houlan as generals, commanding 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, and waiting for an opportunity to capture Fanyang and Quanzhou!"

"Form the Yanzhou Corps, with Zhicai as military advisor, Yan Liang as commander, Lu Xiang, and Yu Zi as generals. We will command 30,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and garrison a huge army. Be prepared to capture Yanzhou!"

Chen Deng and Xi Zhicai carefully memorized Tao Ying's orders while quickly checking for any omissions and filling in the gaps.

"Lord, how to allocate the missing troops?"

The Xuanjia Army does not lack troops, but is too scattered.

"The Xuanjia Army in the counties of Jizhou will be allocated to the Youzhou Corps first. The missing soldiers in the Jizhou Corps will be filled from Wu Dun's recruits. All newly recruited militia groups in Jizhou will be sent to Qingzhou and handed over to Wu Dun for unified training!"

"The soldiers of the Yanzhou Corps, except for the garrison troops of Mou County, and the soldiers of all counties in Taishan County, are not enough to make up for it from the new soldiers!"

……

"Drive!"

As soon as noon passed, Tao Ying, Dian Wei and his entourage filed out from the east gate of Duchang City. About a mile away from the city, the horses suddenly accelerated and galloped away in the direction of Donglai.
