"Isn't it a good thing to give more?"

Pu Hu looked at Wang Ping.

"It's a good thing to give a lot sometimes, which shows that Emperor Liu approves of us."

Wang Ping said: "But sometimes it's not a good thing, I heard that Emperor Guo of Wei in the north is powerful, has unified the entire north of Han, established a new country, there are many soldiers and horses in Han, Emperor Liu only has a state of Yizhou, can he fight with Emperor Guo who occupies all the north?" ”

"This ......"

Pu Hu was puzzled: "Emperor Liu will lose?" But Emperor Liu is the emperor of the Han Kingdom. ”

"There is no Han Kingdom anymore, didn't you say it before? The Han State is gone, and now it is the Wei State that rules the Central Plains. ”

Wang Ping shook his head: "Now that the Emperor of Wei is powerful and the Emperor of Han is weak, we don't follow the strong, but we have to help the weak, once the Emperor of Han is defeated by the Emperor of Wei, and the Emperor of Wei is held accountable, won't we suffer?" ”

The more Park Hu thought about it, the more he felt that the problem was not small.

"When you say this, I also think it's a little inappropriate, what the people sent by Emperor Liu said is a little too good, and this is inevitably too much, according to our here, these Han people have never given such a good face...... Is there really a problem? ”

"There's really a problem, chief, I suggest that we return the gifts, don't send troops, and it's better to wait and see the situation first."

Wang Ping gave advice.

"This ...... This one...... Go back? ”

Pu Hu seemed a little reluctant.

"Chief, if we don't go back, we have a life to take it, but we don't have a life to spend it."

Wang Ping's words instantly hit Pu Hu's psychological weakness, and Pu Hu thought about it and felt that what Wang Ping said was very reasonable.

"Also, if Emperor Wei Guoguo really defeats Emperor Liu, we will be held accountable, and we won't know how to die when the time comes, these gifts are a bit hot."

Pu Hu's face was very ugly, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to return the gift.

At the same time, Pu Hu also found several tribal leaders who had made friends, explained the benefits to them, and hoped that they would also return the gifts so as not to get burned.

Some people felt that the problem was serious and promised to return the gifts and not participate in the war, while others were blinded by the huge amount of gifts and felt that if they had money, they would not take the bastards, and they could not let go of the money no matter what, and they must take it.

There was a split and confrontation within the people, some people returned the gifts given to them by Zhang Song, and some people did not return them, and were willing to follow Zhang Song to fight for Shu Han.

Zhang Song felt a little unhappy, because his three-inch incorruptible tongue was only half successful, and half of the people were not fooled by him to sell their lives to Liu Zhang.

However, it can bring half of the people, almost 13,000 troops, and it can be regarded as a mission.

Liu Zhang rewarded Zhang Song heavily, and then mobilized these troops to advance to three key defensive areas, among which the most went to Badong County.

Many Wenchen generals in Shu unanimously believed that the Wei army in the direction of Badong County posed the greatest threat to them, and it was also the most likely to break through the defense line, so they must do their best to strengthen the defense line of Badong County.

There were even suggestions that some of the troops defending the Sword Pavilion and Yonekura Mountain could be transferred to strengthen the defense line of Padang County and try their best to defend Padang County.

However, such a statement is opposed by most people, they think that there are also Wei Xiong soldiers in the direction of Hanzhong, once they break through from the Sword Pavilion or Micang Mountain, is it not a big threat to Shuzhong?

Not only Badong County is dangerous, but also Shiniu Road, which is the road for the Qin army to eliminate Shu and Ba, which can reach Chengdu directly.

However, with such a guiding ideology, the defense of Padang County has indeed received the greatest attention.

The ordnance and equipment of Yan Yan's army have been fully strengthened, especially the water division, which has been greatly strengthened, and has also done everything to block and block the waterways in an attempt to stop the advance of the Wei army.

By the sixth day of the first month of the second year of Yande, when the official holiday of Wei was over, and everyone began to gather their hearts and devote themselves to the war of exterminating Shu again, Liu Zhang had raised the strength of the Badong County Front to the level of 50,000.

This number was comparable to the number of Wei troops preparing to attack Padang County, an area where 100,000 troops were gathered, ready for a general battle.

The three-month truce was used by the Shu Han officials with all their might.

They mobilized almost all the forces that could be mobilized, except for the 5,000 troops in Chengdu and the 10,000 troops guarding Nanzhong, the Shu Han side had done their best.

Even at the expense of making local troubles and sharp contradictions, it is necessary to squeeze out the last trace of mobilization in Yizhou.

Having held on to this extent, the Shu Han combat army has really reached the level of 100,000, and the number of troops placed on the front line is barely equal to the number of soldiers of the Wei army.

In order to ensure the logistical supply of this 100,000-level combat army, the Shu Han government also mobilized an equal number of more than 100,000 civilian men and auxiliaries to deliver supplies to the combat army, and transferred a large number of grain, money, cloth, ordnance and other materials accumulated in Shuzhong over the years.

Using mules, horses, camels, carts, boats, and even manpower to carry them, the forcibly mobilized civilians and auxiliaries shed blood and sweat to transport supplies to the front-line soldiers, and the suffering was unspeakable.

Unlike the official mobilization system of Wei, which had formed a fixed model and operated many times with sufficient experience, the official mobilization system of Wei could even take care of the people and auxiliaries who transported food, but Shu Han did not.

Their mobilization power is very limited, and they have little experience, they are very unfamiliar, and the first mobilization of such large-scale manpower and material resources will inevitably cause many problems.

There was a great deal of conflict between the supply teams and the local government and the local population.

The logistics staff had nowhere to live, no place to rest, they did not eat in time, they were tired to death, fell to death, drowned, starved to death, and fled on a large scale, which made Chengdu anxious and Liu Zhang worried.

Even during the Battle of Hanzhong that year, Shuzhong was not mobilized to this point.

When he attacked Liangzhou, he forcibly recruited the Wudoumi Sect disciples in Hanzhong, carried out large-scale persecution, and did not mobilize Shuzhong much.

Now it's time to start with Shuzhong, and many people are blind and don't know how to do it.

The most serious thing is that such a situation caused the Yan Yan Front Army to only have five days' food reserves at the garrison in Yufu County.

So the people sent out by Yan Yan to urge food went wave after wave, and even the people who went and went back could meet each other on the road.

On the one hand, the weak control of the Shu Han central government over the localities is also one thing, the officials of the surrender faction in various places are secretly stumbling blocks, and the excessively rough administrative methods of the officials of the main battle faction are also the other.

Although the first-line army of Shu Han reached the point of parity with the Wei army, there was a world of difference between the two sides in terms of combat readiness and logistical supply forces.

When the whole Shu region was in panic because of this war, the Wei army in Hanzhong and Nanjun had just spent a pretty good New Year's holiday and had recuperated their spirits.
