"When Xiaoxian led the army through Xiangyang, the army had no 100 daily rations, and nearly 10,000 prisoners were killed."

In the warm pavilion, after Guan Ping heard and understood the government soldier system, his cheeks were flushed because he drank two more glasses of wine: "In order to eat the enemy, the filial piety army blocked the yang, and the hussar general guarded Ye County and did not retreat, and the front and rear troops of more than 10,000 troops were stationed in Wankou, causing the thief army of 50,000 not to dare to move lightly. It can be described as a tiger's step, and the enemy is frightened. ”

"Up to now, all armies rely on the grain of the county, but Xiaoxian is self-sufficient...... Compared with the two, the foolish brother was very ashamed. ”

He asked: "After the beginning of spring, I want to be in Shandu and Zhuyang Juntun, Xiaoxian may help me?" ”

Tian Xin frowned: "I don't dare to shirk this matter...... What my brother meant, but will there be a shortage of military rations next year? ”

It doesn't make sense, Yang Yi is very clear about the output of military and civilian power in the three prefectures of Jingyixiang, and he will be able to transport at least one million stone of military food from Yizhou to Jiangling next year.

According to the plan, by the end of July, 2 million stone of military rations will be used as reserves for the Northern Expedition, which will be stored in Jiangling, Xiangyang, and Wancheng respectively to support the expenses.

"The military rations are sufficient, but we have to plan for the long term."

Guan Ping naturally knows the direction of next year's main attack, and also knows what the main and secondary goals of the campaign are: "I am afraid that the progress will be weak and I will be stuck in a stalemate." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that the Wei army will not be able to avoid the battle and delay time."

Tian Xin sighed with emotion and solemnly stated: "The farm tools produced in Danyang, I will give one percent to Long Xiangjun." ”

"I don't want filial piety to be difficult first, and after the harvest, I will be rewarded with grain."

Guan Ping became more and more drunk: "Otherwise, everyone will come to ask for filial piety, and it will be difficult for filial piety to explain to the subordinates." When I came, His Majesty said that there should be a school captain in Xiangzhou and Jingzhou to carry out coinage. Filial piety may recommend virtuous? ”

"I'm afraid to disappoint Your Majesty, I don't have the right person."

Tian Xin was still thinking about next year's battle, and said: "Even if there are one or two people who can be used, they can't do without it at present." I still have to discuss with Yu Zhongxiang and reformulate the "Summer Calendar" and "Summer Sacrifice", etc., and I really can't share your Majesty's worries. Even the restructuring of the Northern Army was a last resort. ”

As the feudal state of the Han Dynasty, the ritual system is also a guest and a minister, because of the worship of Yu Xia Temple, then it should be implemented in the feudal country, promote Yu Xia's calendar, rituals.

Yu Xia used "Lianshan" for divination, Yin Shang used "Returning to Tibet", and Ji Zhou used "Zhou Yi".

The two parts of Lianshan were lost, and Yu turned over the fifth reign of the family "Meng's Yi", and was qualified to assist Tian Xin in formulating the calendar and ritual regulations of the Principality of Chen in the future.

Not only will Yu Yi participate, but Lu Yi, as the head of the branch of the Yu Xia ethnic group, will also participate.

In the future, when worshipping the temple of Yu Xia Xianwang every year, families with the same ancestors and different clans such as Yu Fu and Lu Yi are also eligible to participate.

According to the Han family sacrificial gold system, Yu Xuan, Lu Yi and other Yu Xia branches want to participate in the ceremony, so they naturally have to pay the sacrificial gold.

The honorarium was not given to Tian Xin, but was used exclusively for the sake of the ceremony.

Therefore, Tian Xin also chose an important person to serve as the Zongzheng, in charge of the Xia calendar and the promotion of summer rites in the principality, as well as the management of the genealogy of the Miao descendants of the Yu Xia branch, as well as the summer sacrifice.

There are summer sacrifices, summer rites, and summer calendars; Then Guan Yu also has to study the Shang Sacrifice, Shang Rites, and Shang Calendar in a daze, or copy the Kong family; On the contrary, Zhang Fei is simple and has ready-made weekly rites to follow.

Yu Flip is a good candidate for Xia Zongzheng, in addition to Yu Flip, Tian Xin can't find a suitable person to recommend to Liu Bei, to serve as Si Jin Lieutenant in charge of Jingzhou coinage affairs.

This errand is full of oil and water, and Tian Xin is not prepared to touch it, so as not to wash the oil stains cleanly.

Guan Ping fell asleep drunk, but Tian Xin still couldn't let go, thinking about next year's war.

Next year, the main attack on the Central Plains will be to seek a strategic decisive battle, and if the Wei army avoids the war, it will force the Wei army to carry out a decisive battle by forcibly relocating the people of the Central Plains.

If you are never able to fight a decisive battle, or if you do not achieve the expected victory...... Then Yanyu and the two states will inevitably become a no-man's land.

If the Han army wants to relocate the population, the Wei army will also forcibly relocate the population, and Sun Quan will also intervene if it is not good.

With the efforts of the three parties, it is almost inevitable that Yanyu and the two states will become a no-man's land.

The Central Plains became a no-man's land, and that was tricky.

Unlike now, the population of the Central Plains can still be used as a bargaining chip to coerce the Wei army into a decisive battle; You can also get supplies and information from the people of the Central Plains.

The Wei army controlled the Central Plains, and it would always maintain a state of suppression on Sun Quan's newly acquired Huainan land, so that Sun Quan would not dare to waste again.

Once it becomes a no-man's land, the Wei army's focus of defense will be shifted to Guanlong, and the fortress of Luoyang will be more firmly defended to avoid a decisive battle.

In this way, Guanzhong is the bridgehead of Wei against the Han army, which is equivalent to Jingzhou in Sun Quan's eyes, and the Wei army will raise troops to defend Guanzhong.

The Central Plains has been reduced to no man's land, and the sword hanging above Sun Quan's head is gone, and it is difficult to say that he will regain his courage to continue to wander to interfere with the strategy of the Han army to attack Guanzhong.

If it really comes to this point, the various armies of the Han army will have to be streamlined to varying degrees...... After all, the national strength is insufficient, and the precious young and strong population must be rationally utilized, and those who are suitable for fighting wars should be organized and trained as elite troops; The rest of the population goes into production.

However, the Northern Expeditionary Army was unique, capable of fighting and self-sufficiency at the same time, which was tantamount to setting an example for other armies.

The only problem for the Northern Army now is ...... There are too many singles, which makes the population structure in Zhaoyang-eup very unreasonable.

There is no solution to this problem, either the Central Plains and Guanzhong will be laid down and they will be reunited with their families and relatives; Either build bridges and start a new family.

And Guan Ping's worries are not the worries of the Han army's top brass?

In next year's campaign, we must not only consider victory, but also defeat.

If you fail...... Then it is necessary to rest, not to stop the Northern Expedition, but to stop the large-scale Northern Expedition, and to let the army and the people recuperate for two or three years before they can maintain a better state and launch a larger offensive.

Since Liu Bei entered Shu, the Han army has not fought for many years, and the people of Jingyi Erzhou have always contributed to the war.

The war continues to be won, and the army and the people can still endure it.

If the war is stalemate, we must adjust our strategy and not be strong to the end...... The mentality and emotions of the soldiers, and the economic affordability of the people, all need to take a breath.

Tian Xin thought about the overall situation in his mind, and his thinking was very clear.

There is no need to adjust the choice question of the Northern Expedition next year, forcing the Wei army to carry out a strategic decisive battle is an adventure, and this is the only way to quickly expand the advantage.

If you force a decisive battle to fail, you can also relocate the population and increase your war potential.

Although Guanlong is good, it can fight Guanlong, and the Wei army's strict defense will definitely avoid a decisive battle, and it is difficult to defeat the laborers and the people; If you bite it hard, the casualties will inevitably be very large.

Only by destroying the productive forces of the Central Plains can the productive forces of the Guanzhong Wei army be lowered.

And the government soldier system can just properly solve the dilemma that the Han army will face.

In the case of forcing the Wei army to fight a decisive battle, the government soldier system was promoted, agricultural training in peacetime, and service in turns in wartime.

The best thing is that the government military system is very much in line with the current household tax and rent adjustment, which in itself is a complementary tax system and a military system, which can solve the problem that the conscription system wastes manpower and the conscription system consumes a lot of money.

As long as the loom is laid in the village community, so that every household can weave cloth and pay taxes, then the people will naturally be able to accumulate wealth.

The people are the main productive forces, and if we liberate their enthusiasm for production and limit the expansion and merger of the powerful, then the economy will prosper.

Duty-free treatment for government soldiers...... If you do the math, it's really nothing.

In order to motivate the government soldiers, Tian Xin also planned to increase efforts to promote education in the army, move out the imperial examination, and select soldiers in the army.

This can be regarded as the restoration of the glorious tradition of the classical military system, the army is a school, and the school is a military school.
