Chapter 168: True. Han Shin
Shaanxi County is only twenty miles away from Hangu Pass.
A baggage team arrived here with tens of thousands of vehicles and 200,000 stone of grain.
This is the fifth time the team has returned.
And this will also be the last time.
Spring is about to begin, and the troops also need to prepare for spring planting, which is a plan made by the king early in the morning without being hungry.
Unlike the army of the lieges, Wang Buyu never ordered the disbandment of the army, which was simply unbelievable during this period.
Take the state of Chu as an example, in order to avoid the consumption of grain and grass in peacetime, when there is no war, the troops will be disbanded and sent home, and when the need is needed, they will be conscripted.
Aristocrats don't keep so many idlers all the time.
And the king was not hungry in order not to be conscripted into labor, and in addition to the future plan, he was not disbanded.
Before the start of spring planting, let the troops transport grain and grass to the front line.
Similarly, in order to improve efficiency, save the consumption of grain and grass.
Wang Cheng racked his brains for this, and finally had to adopt a gradual transportation method.
That is, point-to-point, each point prepares the rations needed by the army in advance, and directly loads and supplies after arriving, without consuming the grain and grass transported by the grain team on the way.
Luoyang to Yicheng, the grain team takes one day, Yicheng to Xin'an, the grain team takes three days, Xin'an and then to Mianchi, less than a day, and finally transported to Shaanxi County by Mianchi, which takes one and a half days.
According to the distance of the road, the number of vehicle personnel can be allocated, and basically the warehouse at each point will not have a backlog of more than one day.
In this way, under the transportation of the grain teams played by various front-line troops, in one winter, the granaries of Shaanxi County were stuffed full, and even the barracks outside the city were full of visible grain stacks.
"General Wang, the grain and grass are almost transported, right?" Guan Ying looked at Wang Cheng with dissatisfaction, but he couldn't make a stumbling block for Wang Cheng.
The king personally gave the order, so even if the training of the troops was delayed, he had to fully support Wang Cheng's work.
"Well, that's fine!" Wang Cheng nodded.
Of course he heard the baby's complaints, but so what?
The king did not levy conscription, and if he wanted to transport enough grain to various places, he had to rely on troops to transport it.
Although the generals didn't give themselves any good looks, but fortunately, no one stumbled openly and secretly, and now the first step of the transportation task has been completed, and Wang Cheng gradually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Shaanxi County has now hoarded 700,000 stone grain and grass, 80,000 soldiers, and the next thing is to prepare for Tuntian, and after the autumn harvest, let the troops behind bring the grain, which is basically enough for this expedition, if the war goes well, maybe it will not be used up!" Wang Cheng said.
"That's okay, I organized the troops to train for a few days, and I haven't practiced much this winter, don't fight one by one when the time comes!" The baby was also relieved.
There's a lot of pressure on your body......
The number of troops allocated to him by Wang Ting was 200,000, and 80,000 were stationed in the first support camp of Shaanxi County, which was the first front line.
Then there was the large camp opposite Hangu Pass, about fifteen miles away from here, with 30,000 horses led by Zhang Han.
50,000 in Michi, 40,000 in Xin'an, this is the next army he needs to lead.
Once he decided to go to war, he could assemble 110,000 troops in one day, 160,000 in three days, and 200,000 in five days.
This is the kind that can be directly pulled out to fight, after all, 80,000 people are in Tuntian, Shaanxi County, and the grain obtained from Tuntian is enough for them to consume in the first wave.
And Wang Buxing also attaches great importance to this matter, which can be seen from the composition of the troops alone.
Of the 200,000 people, 100,000 were veterans who had joined the Han army for more than a year.
50,000 are the soldiers who joined for half a year, and the remaining 50,000 are the soldiers who were collected after defeating Zhang Han and the soldiers recruited locally.
Almost the entire elite of the Han army has been sent here, if this is not trained for a year, won't the elite Han army be wasted by themselves?
However......
"No way!" Wang Cheng didn't want to speak, but he had to speak.
He is not just General Xingyang, he is also a heavy general, and General Tuntian, who just added an epitaph to himself two months ago, and now we also have four titles, and there is a big man who is not a big man.
That is to say, before the autumn harvest, all the Tuntian troops were deployed by Wang Cheng, and if the commander of the troops wanted to train, he must obtain Wang Cheng's consent, otherwise he would be punished.
And if Wang Cheng unrealistically agreed to the training requirements of the commander of the army and affected the output of Tuntian, then Wang Cheng would be punished in the end.
"General Guan, I know you're worried about the combat effectiveness of the troops, but you still have time, this delays the spring planting, where can I get the time to go, brother? It's absolutely not possible now, the troops are about to arrange the tuntian, there are still a lot of things to do, after planting the seeds, you have at least a month to train, and in addition, I guarantee that you can train 10,000 people a day after that......"
After the two of them had a PY, Wang Cheng finally had to agree to give the baby, and every ten days, the Tuntian soldiers could have two days of free time, one of which was to train and the other to rest.
……
In front of the queue, twenty-four-year-old Han Xin looked at the soldiers under his command.
For him, there are expectations, there are goals, there are hopes.
Humiliated by the butcher in his early years, Han Xin took refuge in the Chu army, but he was never allowed to reuse, although Wu Xinjun was not bad to the soldiers, but Han Xin felt that it was still difficult for him to get ahead.
At that time, he was just a small general.
Later, the king of Han issued a summoning order, and Han Xin was moved by the summoning order, so he left the Chu camp alone and came to defect.
Compared to the other Han Xin, Han Xin felt a little silly.
I knew that I would pull a group of people all the way over, and now I wouldn't be just a five hundred masters.
But fortunately, the Han army does not pay for merit, although the five hundred lords are not big officials, but several generals today are from the five hundred masters.
Han Xin was also very confident that he could make a contribution in the next battle to destroy Qin.
No, because of his meritorious service, his battalion won the first place in two consecutive internal competitions, and the military marquis reported to request that Han Xin be promoted to 1,000 people.
Three days ago, he was just approved by the general and officially promoted to 1,000 people.
Twenty-four-year-old Qianren, in this era, is already one of the successful people.
But Han Shin is far from satisfied.
Today, Tuntian General Wang Cheng convened a meeting of 1,000 people from various ministries, first, to assign tasks, and second, to read out new incentives.
After returning from the meeting, Han Xin felt that his body was full of energy.
"Brothers, today General Wang has assigned us a task, we and another team of 1,000 people are going to the southeast twenty miles to carry out tuntian, where there are a total of 50,000 mu of official land, how much can be tuned!"
"In addition, the king also promulgated a new incentive measure, tuntian, the person who produces two stones per mu will be recorded as a third-class individual merit, a thousand-person team, the first in output, the first in average yield per mu, a collective first-class merit, and all members will be promoted to the first level, and finally, General Guan also said that the thousand-person team that won the first place can be appointed as a general......
"So, I decided to ......"
