In the distant Yanhuang River, in September 869, Sun Tiejian received a notice from Han Wenzheng. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Xuemei: "My father is his father, and he is indeed unparalleled in wisdom. He has done all this impossible, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." After reading this notice, Zhou Xuemei said: "Although our army has improved overall strategy, his father asked us to draw most of the main forces to the Tiger Slaying River, which is not good for our troops. At least, it is quite unfavorable in a short period of time."

Sun Tiejian smiled and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Although my father asked us to dispatch troops to the Tiger Slayer, he did not set out immediately today. Calculated by time, it is not too late to go in another fifty years. Besides, destroying the Tianhu Empire is our established strategy. My father transferred all my main forces away, so he naturally had to find a way to strengthen the combat power of our army. If there is no accident, my brother will be back."

Zhou Xuemei was stunned: "Brother is coming back, that's a good thing." "It's a good thing for me, Zeshan and others, but it may not be a good thing for middle and lower-level personnel. All of this depends on the arrangements of my father. However, the biggest possibility is that my brother is just a post and doesn't care about the matter." "It's really troublesome."

When Zhao Tieyun came back, Sun Tiejian and other first-generation tribe members were of course welcomed without any responsibility. With Zhao Tieyun coming back to share the government's work, Zhang Zeshan naturally wanted to do so. However, the two troops had been separated for a long time, and the tribe members who had been born in the past seven hundred years only knew that Zhao Tieyun had never seen him, but now he came back and served as a senior government leader. This was more or less a bit resistant. Now, the Yanhuang clan can be said to be divided into three major sects. Zhao Tieyun, Sun Tiejian and Zhou Tiehu. One person and one sect. The battle between this faction is only the beginning. Although it has not yet developed to the stage of life and death, it is obvious that there are such signs.

At the meeting, Sun Tiejian informed everyone of this news and finally said: "Zeshan. You have to come forward to calm everyone's emotions." "This is no problem. When my brother comes back, I will be much more relaxed, so that I won't be jealous when I see my fifth brother help you." Zhang Zeshan said with jealousy. Originally, the work tasks of him and Sun Tiejian were not much different, but after the two departments merged, Zhou Tiehu served as the chief of staff of the army. Sun Tiejian's work naturally became much easier, but no one came to share his work. Zhang Zeshan was really jealous for a long time. Now, Zhao Tieyun, who has the strongest internal affairs ability in the Yanhuang clan, was back, and he was happy.

Guan Tiebing said: "We need to draw most of the main forces to the Tiger Slaying River. This is a great weakening for our strength. The eldest brother will return at least a hundred years later, but our army will set out in fifty years. In this way, our army's strength will have a vacuum period. Therefore, I think that our army's strategy needs to be adjusted to avoid uncontrollable problems at that time."

In recent decades, the Yanhuang tribe has accumulated strength, but launched a limited-scale attack, which is a small-scale battle, with no more than ten fronts of military groups. The Yanhuang tribe has been working together to digest the occupied territory for decades, but it has found that their manpower is still too small, and many planets can only be vacant for the time being, and no one can develop it at all. In addition, the talents trained over the years have basically been used up. If you want to occupy more territory, you need to cultivate more talents. Therefore, they do not have the ability to expand larger now.

There is another deeper issue to consider. The more territory you occupy, the more troops you need, which is a multiple increase. For example, when you only occupy a war zone, two hundred fronts can achieve better defense. However, when you occupy three war zones, you cannot defend at all without eight hundred fronts. If you occupy six war zones, you will not be able to ensure your safety without two thousand fronts. Therefore, even if the Yanhuang tribe defeated the defenders of the Tianhu Empire, does the Yanhuang tribe have so many troops to defend? No, over the past few decades, they have only accumulated the strength of five hundred fronts, and it is a bit insufficient to defend the three war zones. Therefore, there is basically no possibility of withdrawing a large amount of troops to attack.

War, such as fighting, punching someone, you have to be defended by a kick. The larger the territory occupied, the larger the area defended by the troops. Because the troops' mobility limits, the longer it will arrive at the border, and the longer the border line to be defended. Once the enemy breaks through the defense of the border, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic. Neither the Yanhuang clan nor the Tianhu Empire are good people, and they will launch massacres against civilians. Therefore, once the Tianhu army breaks through the border and enters the war zone, the price it has to pay is absolutely heavy, so heavy that all races cannot bear it.

Because of this, when the Tianhu Empire, which has a huge force of 10,000 front-level army groups, can concentrate all its strength to attack the Yanhuang clan, the limit is that it can draw 3,000 to 4,000 front-level army groups, accounting for only 40% of the total national army. If it draws more, the country will be unstable, and all defense lines will have loopholes, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Similarly, the Shenguang clan has huge forces, but not too many people are actually used on the battlefield. Its own local defense requires huge forces.

Forty years ago, Sun Tiejian and others realized this deeply. Forever, the battles they fought were just offensive, or guerrilla warfare, and there was no place to defend. When defending the Western Theater Command, they only concentrated their main force to defend Xuanwu Fortress Group and Storm Fortress, so there was no need for too many troops to defend internally. Therefore, their understanding of the war was somewhat wrong. Now, when they mastered the huge star domains of the three war zones, they suddenly realized that previous war experience was not applicable. If they used the previous tactics to fight, they would only have so many troops in their hands. Once the main force was drawn to attack, their local defense line would become a sieve, with loopholes everywhere and they could not defend at all. The enemy could drill in and do damage at any time.

Therefore, after many meetings, Sun Tiejian and his team realized this problem and immediately changed their strategic thinking. In addition to vigorously expanding their troops, what is more important is to form their own defense line. Over the years, the Tianhu Empire has repeatedly emerged from the loopholes in the defense line. Fortunately, there is a hidden line of the Yanhuang clan in the Tianhu Empire, which provides a lot of information in time, which avoids major losses. Otherwise, they would have paid a huge price in the morning.

It can be said that the Yanhuang tribe has been able to live a peaceful life over the years and develop its own strength peacefully. The elite divisions and main divisions have played an extremely huge role in intelligence. The Tianhu Army has no secrets in the eyes of the Yanhuang tribe, and all actions are almost known in advance by the Yanhuang tribe. The Yanhuang tribe can take measures in advance to minimize the losses. However, now a large number of elite divisions and main divisions have to be drawn to the Tiger Slayer. In this way, their intelligence network will have a huge vacuum due to insufficient manpower. It can no longer provide information in all aspects as before. In this way, the Yanhuang tribe will have problems.

Therefore, Guan Tiebing believes that it is necessary to draw troops, but you must do your own work first. You can’t do your job after you draw troops. Without elite divisions and main divisions, you need to develop your own intelligence network through other aspects to ensure that you will not miss major issues due to the lack of main forces.

Everyone agreed with Guan Tiebing's proposal. Sun Tiejian asked: "Tiebing, what about your opinion?" "Our army's intelligence network has always started from three aspects. First, our army's invasion into the top leaders of the enemy. Second, the intelligence network formed by No. 3. Third, the intelligence personnel sent by our army to target the enemy. However, the situation has changed a lot now. When our two armies are in a strategic stalemate, many times the top leaders no longer issue instructions, but hand over the initiative of combat to the lower-level officers. Therefore, the initiative of the lower-level officers has increased actively and they can take action freely. Therefore, the first set of intelligence systems of our army inevitably have loopholes."

Everyone expressed their understanding. "The main force of the No. 3 intelligence network is within the empire. There are too few intelligence personnel arranged for the four major war zones. Therefore, at present, the second intelligence system can no longer provide us with too much useful front-line intelligence. Also, because they are too far away from us, it is also a problem whether the front-line intelligence can be delivered to us in time."

"As for the third intelligence system, as our main force withdraws, an intelligence vacuum will naturally occur. Sixty percent of our intelligence comes from the third intelligence network, so what we need to fill is also the loopholes in this part. I suggest that we can adopt the following plan. First, develop our intelligence personnel in the Tianhu Army. Second, play the Warcraft intelligence system of our army. Third, let the No. 3 intelligence network tilt to the four war zones on the front line." Guan Tiebing seemed to have already considered this issue.

Sun Tiejian asked: "Do you have any additional opinions?" "No, Brother Guan has already planned it. We think that Brother Guan will be responsible for this work." "You lazy guys, don't even think about it. It's me who comes up with the idea, and it's me who will do the hard work. So what are you doing? You can't just suffer a loss." Guan Tiebing laughed and scolded, he was not fooled.

Sun Tiejian smiled and said, "Tiebing's burden is already very heavy. Although I think talented people must give full play to their talents, they cannot use Tiebing to death. So, Ouyang, you are responsible for the work in intelligence. How about it?" Ouyang Tielong, who has been one of Sun Tiejian's deputy for many years, smiled bitterly and said, "I will do whatever my third brother said." He knew that he couldn't escape.

Sun Tiejian said: "Because the strategy has changed, our army's strategy also needs to be adjusted. From now on, our army will adopt a defensive stance, just maintain a certain amount of military pressure on the Tianhu Army. In the next hundred years, our army will not need to have too much offensive. Try to defend our current occupied territory and develop our strength. This is the strategy of our army headquarters. As for the strategies of the four kingdoms, we can also adjust accordingly. We can adopt a stronger offensive against the Tianhu Empire, making the Tianhu Empire more chaotic, and we will no longer be able to send more reinforcements to Tianhu Tiehai. When the elder brother comes back, we should have enough troops to attack."
