"The pavilions along the Wuguan Road have been unblocked, and although there is snow, it will not hinder the passage of snowmobiles."

Dengcheng Xuanchi, Tian Xin returned from the stargazing tower of Da Shou Mountain, just got off the boat and boarded the open-top car to return to the city, Li Heng with the car held the spread folder in his hand, and stated the accumulated official documents: "This year, the army in Guanzhong rounded up and hunted a lot of beasts, many fierce beasts took refuge in the mountains, and the pavilions along the Wuguan Road were disturbed. However, there are many bows and crossbows in the pavilions, and they are newly built walls with the auxiliary army of grain transportation, which are strong and tall, and can be broken by non-fierce beasts. ”

"Post stations and pavilions are all stored with grain and straw as stipulated by law, and post stations store 300 stones of grain and 800 bundles of grass; The pavilion stores 50 stone of grain and 200 bundles of grass. ”

"According to the three-year snowfall record, the total thickness of snowfall at the southern end of Wuguan Road is about 3 feet 4 inches; This year, it has fallen two feet and one inch, and there will be two or three more heavy and moderate snowfalls in the first month and February. ”

Li Heng read this report, turned the page and read: "The ministers thought that the risk of snowfall in Nanshan was unpredictable, and suggested that the public postpone travel, the climate was getting warmer in mid-February, and the snow in the mountains had not yet melted, so it was just right to pass." ”

There must be a certain degree of error in this snowfall data, or is it more than the error of the calculation; Because snowfall in mountainous areas is blown by the wind, a lot of snow will fall on valleys, river valleys, mountain cols and other flat depressions; The observation point for the measurement is in a place that is conducive to sheltering from the wind.

By subtracting the error and looking at the average snowfall, we can estimate the approximate snowfall at the end of winter.

"There's no need to wait, food is already in short supply, and this time we are going to take advantage of the snow, and if we wait until the weather gets warmer, there will be more accidents in the sled."

Tian Xin made a choice, in winter, Danshui was frozen, and light sleds and ice trucks could be used to transport grain to Wuguan Road in a small area.

As long as the mobilized manpower and animal power are maintained on a certain scale, the cost of such transportation consumption can be borne normally.

In addition, Hanshui, Jiangshui, and Xiangshui will not be frozen, and in half a year's transportation, 300,000 stone rice and wheat have been transported from Xiangzhou, Jiangxia, and Wuchang areas, and 200,000 grass bundles have arrived in Nanyang, and they have been transported to the post stations and pavilions in the central and southern part of Wuguan Road through Danshui, and transported by relay transmission of ants moving.

Straw bundles are not used as fuel for heating, but as dry fodder that is harvested and exposed to the sun in the middle of summer.

The most troublesome thing for horses to go to Wuguan Road in winter is the supplement of roughage, and the climate of Wuguan Road is changeable, but in this cold climate, the ice and snow are relatively stable and can be used.

This year's winter is still a very cold winter, and there is no abnormal climate such as a warm winter.

In this way, Tian Xin did not stop, and according to the established time and plan, he led his family members and most of the relatives of middle and high-ranking military officials towards Wuguan.

When they arrived at Wuguan, they would switch to sleds and go north with another group of Wuchang soldiers from the He Qi Division who were gathered in Wuguan to go to Guanzhong, and this army would replace Zhao Yong under He Jing and serve in turn.

The sleigh is not an artifact, and many mountain roads have to be walked, but women, children, the elderly, the weak, and the sick can continue to ride the sleigh, and the sergeant will lead the horses and control the horses to pull the sleigh slowly.

Now there is no shortage of animal power in Beifu, and there is much more abundant transportation capacity.

Tian Xin returned to Guanzhong here, and the great court meeting in Jiangdu and Yedu were also held as scheduled.

It is foreseeable that there will be no more decisive battles in the next three to five years, so too many domestic armies will need to be reorganized to adapt to the new era.

In this era, the fight is who recuperates faster and who develops the best, which is to pave the way for the next round of decisive battles.

The military expenditures of the Jihan Empire were a huge financial burden; The Wei Empire did not have military-related financial burdens, and it was precisely because there was no baggage that the Wei army had a weak will to fight, and it was easy to abscond before the war, and it was easy to rout during the battle, and it could no longer be cleaned up once it was defeated.

The Wei Empire's combat method was always that a small number of elite troops were used as sharp knives, and a large number of Shijia troops followed and shouted...... Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army fluctuated, and the reason was the ratio of elite troops.

When Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system, he chose to ask for money, not for combat effectiveness.

In the process of the development of the Tuntian system, they chose to compromise with the family and Haoqiang, so the combat effectiveness of the Tuntian family was even lower. So much so that many of the Wei army's victories relied on the righteousness of the imperial court and united with the warlords.

The problem of the Han army was not as serious as that of the Wei army, it was a simple financial problem.

As long as the standing size of the field troops is reduced, military spending can be rapidly reduced.

But reducing the troops has never been a simple matter, Tian Xin cut twenty battalions of Nanyang origin to Zhao Yunwei's army, the officers of these battalions could not oppose it clearly, and they also made trouble for Zhao Yun on weekdays, and they deliberately carried it, causing the Miyagi stone throwing incident.

As far as a single round of troop reduction is concerned, there will definitely be a choice between the palm of the hand and the back of the hand.

At this time, there is no need to think about it, it must be that the titles of leading captains, captains, miscellaneous captains, lieutenant generals, and miscellaneous generals have been prioritized and abolished, and these people have been transferred to local places and served as county and county chiefs; Or be promoted to the center, enrich the office of the minister, and if it is not possible, there will be a noble and face-saving position such as a court official for temporary placement.

Therefore, the reduction of the Han army has never been a problem, whether it is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei or Zhuge Liang, they can hold down the situation.

Miscellaneous generals and lieutenants can only accept the arrangement of layoffs, and at most they will make a few remarks...... Except for the self-sufficiency of Beifu, the other armies lost the supplies allocated by the local government, and immediately had to go hungry.

The four aspects of prestige, favor, provisions, and military morale overlapped, and the various departments of the Han army could only stand by and accept reductions.

If they cooperate well, they will not be able to say that when the next round of war is started and the troops are re-recruited and reorganized, they will still be able to return to their command posts and make meritorious contributions.

But when it comes to specific interests, many things have more rhetoric.

For example, the superiority of the government military system...... The miscellaneous lieutenants and lieutenant generals were not willing to hand over the military power so directly, and they wanted to struggle somewhat.

Even if the whole army is disarmed on the spot, it is very good to change to Tuntian soldiers, at least the military power and command power are in hand; If you leave the army, it will be like a fish leaving the water, not to mention people's faces everywhere, and the most important thing is that all income is only linked to Yulu.

How can the legitimate income of ordinary officials be as much as the reward earned by leading troops in battle?

Everything is caused by money, which is the source of the high combat effectiveness of the Han army, and it is also the biggest obstacle to the cutting of the army today.

It's not just the main leading officers who think so, but whoever is a military official and has eaten the dividends of the war, then the income of the normal official ...... Some are unsightly.

The generous rewards of the first emperor and Guan Yu have already raised the appetite of the military officials, and many military officials do not have the custom of managing money, so leaving the army is ...... for them It's a loss.

No matter how much you have to save a sum of money, you can buy some industries and then change jobs, otherwise life will really be difficult.

Not being able to marry a daughter-in-law is no joke.

But the imperial court couldn't come up with such a generous and huge amount of severance and retirement pay, and it didn't dare to make trouble, so it had to go to the court to argue with the court about the superiority of the government military system.

Efforts should be made to reduce the number of field units on active duty and change them into field units on active duty and restructure them into government troops.

How did the Wei people, the family, and the military officials drink the blood of the soldiers...... This is something that is almost universally known.

To a certain extent, the government soldier system is to drink the blood of soldiers in a different way...... It's just that in the process of drinking the blood of soldiers, ordinary soldiers and their families have created greater value and gained a lot through organization and planning, and they have also gained a lot of war dividends, so they generally have a positive attitude.

Therefore, the people who support the government military system are far more than military officials who can be directly influenced by Guan Yu...... Many people in the DPRK and China are also very interested in the government and military system.

There is a big meaning that if you want to defeat Beifu, you have to transform into Beifu.

However, in the face of various theories, it is difficult for Guan Yu to have specific examples to oppose...... Although the government soldier system is good, it also depends on the people, and Guan Yu is very clear about this.

If we really carry out a large-scale reform of the government and military system, there will certainly be a lot of chaos.
