Chapter 202: Han Kingdom will not leave a single person behind

said that it was 400,000 Qin troops, but in fact, there was still a lot of water in it.

is similar to the Qin army led by Zhang Han at the beginning, and in the end, it was finally selected, and less than one-third of them were eligible.

The Great Wall Legion led by Wang Li originally had more than 100,000 soldiers, but this number of people was not enough.

Therefore, before setting out for the war, Wang Li selected 50,000 men from those conscripts to join the army.

Therefore, the structure of the Great Wall Army is now 150,000 soldiers, 250,000 baggage, and a miscellaneous army that can also go into battle when necessary.

Due to the lack of materials, coupled with the hatred in Wang Li's heart, the soldiers' incomprehension of him, and other pressures were all transformed by Wang Li into the old land of Zhao.

That's why there was the previous behavior of 'strong walls and clear the wild'.

For Wang Li, not doing so would not be able to ensure the daily needs of the army.

Similarly, it is also possible that these grains will fall into the hands of Zhao Jun.

And Zhao Jun is not as weak as he imagined.

Although they didn't dare to fight, there were at least tens of thousands of people, all of whom were soldiers who had left the Great Wall Army earlier.

A big reason why Wang Li was able to push all the way over was because these soldiers who left the Great Wall Legion were scattered.

Some of them left and went home on their own, while others were concentrated in Sindu.

After this battle, some of them became dead ghosts, and some of them fell into the hands of the Qin army again.

Wang Li is obviously not good at handling political affairs, otherwise he would not have made a mess of Zhao State, and even his own troops began to lose military discipline.

Of course, there are external reasons, but more because Wang Li is not good at it.

Now, the work of political affairs naturally falls to Chen Ping.

And Wang Li, he only needs to wait for Chen Ping's arrangement, and then for Wang Li, he doesn't have to worry about anything else except fighting.

"General Wang, how much grain and grass does the army have now?" Chen Ping asked directly.

Now it's a little too late to go over the records, Chen Ping must sort out the interior as quickly as possible, and then let Wang Li lead the army close to the border to put pressure on the Chu army.

"It's enough for the army to eat for two or three months......" Wang Li said a little uncertainly.

"Let people check the warehouse immediately, and the error will be within ten days!" Chen Ping nodded, but he was not angry.

After a short time, the captain in charge of the grain and grass appeared in the house, looked at Chen Ping's Han envoy, and probably guessed the reason: "Han envoy, general, the grain and grass storage is about enough for about two and a half months." ”

The daily consumption of 400,000 people is enormous, and the guerrilla-style looting in front of it is only barely enough to eat, and there is not much stock.

The current grain and grass are still the grain and grass obtained from the granary of Zhao State after the capture of Xindu.

Originally, there were a lot of them, but the captives couldn't be left hungry, right?

"Well, General Wang, you can announce the news internally, and arrange for the officers to be prepared, and if you want to return to your hometown, you can register with the corresponding officer, and we will distribute road guides and rations according to the county, and those who are willing to stay will be integrated into one army separately." Chen Ping said to Wang Li again.

This has become a habit of the Han army.

Whenever they occupy, the soldiers will always be recruited, and those who are willing to stay will be integrated, and those who are not willing to stay will be given rations and return to their hometowns on their own.

This time, because all the soldiers in the army were soldiers from Guanzhong, the closest way back to their hometown was through the Han Realm.

And now they are also Han Chinese, in the Han realm, such a large team, without a road guide, it is absolutely impossible for the counties along the way to let them go.

They were targeted by scouts before they even entered the Han border, and then the Han army was waiting for them somewhere on the border.

"Chen Xiang, the grain and herbs are insufficient, and they are being distributed as rations for returning to their hometowns, how can the army ensure the needs of the conquest?" Wang Li asked.

The transportation of grain and grass for the Han army was a problem, even if they traveled more, at least one or two hundred thousand people would be left behind, and they would need a lot of grain and grass.

"There is no need to worry about grain and grass, since it has become a Han army, the Han Kingdom will not let its soldiers have a headache because of grain and grass." Chen Ping smiled slightly.

I felt that it was unconvincing just to speak, so I directly found two pieces of silk cloth and wrote a few paragraphs on them.

Then they put their own seal on it, put it in a bamboo tube, and seal it with sealing mud.

handed it to the forbidden army behind him, and explained: "This one will be handed over to the lieutenant of Dongjun, and this one will be handed over to Zhang Xiang." ”

Chen Ping did not shy away from anyone when he wrote.

Therefore, Wang Li saw it very clearly, and the letter handed to the lieutenant of Dongjun was to ask him to immediately prepare enough grain and grass for 200,000 people to eat for two months.

The letter handed over to Zhang Liang explained the situation here, and then asked him to order the county lieutenant of Dongjun to prepare grain with the order of the royal court.

400,000 people eat two and a half months of grain and grass, and if there are less than half of them, they still eat two and a half months, or even three months.

Coupled with the two months of grain and grass prepared by Dongjun, these were enough for them to eat for five months.

And after five months, the autumn harvest is long over, and they will not even be able to get new supplies when they run out of food.

Today, these Qin soldiers who have been stationed at the border all the year round have finally experienced what it is like to have a mother.

Even when the First Emperor was still there, the rations of these people were replenished by their own tuntian.

Basically, except for the first year, the supplies given by the imperial court every year were gradually reduced, and slowly began not to be given at all.

They were not only responsible for the army, but also for the conscription.

Therefore, not all of the conscripts who went to build the Great Wall went to build the Great Wall, and some of them went to the border passes to farm.

There are a lot of things and it's messy.

But under Chen Ping's processing, one after another was arranged.

First started with the Qin army, then the grain and grass, and then those prisoners, the people of Zhao State, and so on.

Not to mention anything else, just Chen Ping's orders one after another made Wang Li feel a little headache.

Wang Li even had a feeling that if he did these things by himself, he would probably die here......

Things were roughly arranged, and the next thing was for Chen Ping to summon the generals with Wang Li.

It is impossible and impossible for the 400,000 troops to meet one by one, and it is impossible to see them all, and it is the most convenient and quick way to gather the generals and colonels.

Chen Ping held the Jingjie in his hand, and in front of all the generals, he took half of the tiger talisman from Wang Li's hand, and the other half had already been obtained by Wang Buyu when he was in Xianyang.

The moment Chen Ping took over the Tiger Talisman, it meant that the last armed force of the Qin Dynasty in this world had disappeared.

Needless to say, the Lingnan Legion or something, Zhao Tuo has long been ready to move, even if he takes the tiger talisman to find him, he may not approve of it, anyway, the emperor is far away, what can you do?

After the ceremony was completed, Chen Ping began a new ceremony.

"Wang Li, the king of this prime minister has granted you the transfer of troops and tiger talismans, to control the army stationed in Zhao and Han, and after the rectification is completed, lead the troops to the south and garrison the border, so as to wait for the king to advance eastward ......"
