Chapter 338: Preparing for War
In May, the harvest season began to begin. At this time, it was the time when Li Xin and the others were most worried, after all, if there was a problem with the grain, the entire rule might be unstable. To this end, Li Xin on the one hand strictly controlled the situation of all parties, and on the other hand, he tried to arrange manpower as much as possible and rushed to various places to supervise the harvest. In short, it is necessary to put away the grain and put it in the warehouse in the shortest possible time, so that even if the enemy fights, there is no fear.
Fortunately, Zhang Ping didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't call at this critical moment, which made Li Xin and some other people in the know breathe a sigh of relief. As more and more grain enters the warehouse, the heart becomes more and more stable.
"Zhang Ping and they didn't take advantage of this time to call, obviously, the liaison alliance between them should not have been negotiated, or there were some problems. But either way, it's a good thing for us. As long as this harvest time is over, we can get rid of one worry! At the time of the meeting with everyone, Li Xin said.
"Yes! Now all we have to do is to prepare as much as possible! Because of the population problem, this year's harvest has actually been greatly affected except for Hedong and Guanzhong. Qinzhou and Shangdang are relatively better, at least, they can ensure their own needs. Only the two places in Beidi County have not been restored for a long time, and now they have to rely on the support of Guanzhong! Wang Meng also looked much more relaxed and said.
"According to our previous plan, I decided to prepare a batch of grain in various places in advance for later use. If it does start, I don't know how long the war will last. Therefore, the grain reserves of the relevant places must be completed! Referring to this issue, Li Xinxin also had some thoughts, so he said at this time.
Li Xin is not talking about a military warehouse, but a warehouse other than a military warehouse, which was specially prepared for this big war. After all, although the military warehouses set up in the past contained a lot of food, they were not close enough to the front line because of the faster expansion of their territory.
"The grain on the front line of Qinzhou, I think it should be in Jincheng County and Yuzhong County! In this way, it can directly support the battle between Yuanwei and Haogan against Liangzhou! For this suggestion, everyone agreed, and He Feng first ordered two places.
If the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou are like eastward, it is impossible for Yuanwei County and Jincheng County to bypass. However, Yuanwei County is in the southeast of Wuwei County, but Haokang County is in the southwest, which happens to form horns with each other, posing a threat to the soldiers and horses of Wuwei County.
Today, Hu Tian led the soldiers and horses to garrison Yunjie County, and at the same time, he often went to Xidu County to sit in the town. But if the war starts, it is obvious that he will have to move to the county seat of Haokang.
Zhou Tong was originally sitting in Yuanwei County, as long as everything was prepared before the war and the city was restored, then he just had to defend it! But in this way, the preparation of grain and grass in advance must not be missing.
"The grain and grass that supports the county is too far away, so it is best to transport it directly to the county town! In addition, the garrison on the first line of Shimen should store grain in Wushi County, and the army on the first line of Xiaoguan is naturally the best to put in the horse collar! Tian He pointed to the place in the north and said.
"If this is the case, in addition to the preparation of grain and grass in Luguan, Xiangluo County must reserve a large amount of grain and grass, and Yuandu County and Luodu County, due to their location, must also store a part of it!" Wang Meng continued.
"Not bad! In this way, in the event of a war at the same time, the two places will be able to hold on at least first. The grain in these two places was supplied by Guanzhong, and at the same time, people were sent to Qiuchi and Hanzhong to buy a batch of grain from their hands and transport it directly to Jincheng and Beidi! Let's do it with the people of the Department of Commerce! Qiu Chi borders on us, so he will not dare to be our enemy, and Sima Xun in Hanzhong is greedy for money, so he can buy grain from him at a slightly higher price! Li Xin agreed with the ideas of the three people, but after thinking about it for a while, he added a little.
Under the rule of the Huashan Army, the people in Guanzhong were the largest, in fact, it was Hedong. These two places have been relatively stable in the past two years, the people are living steadily, and the harvest has been good for two years, so there is spare energy to support other places.
But the problem is that there are too many places to support, and the people of Guanzhong and Hedong also have to eat! So, it's impossible to put the blame entirely on them, and if you can buy a batch from outside, that's the best.
Anyway, money and other things are originally used to solve their own needs. If you are reluctant to use it at a critical time, what is the use of keeping it? As long as you keep your useful body, you will earn it back sooner or later.
"Okay, I'll let Wu Hui hurry up on this matter! Fortunately, Qiuchi and other places are close to Qinzhou, and according to our previous replacement method, we can store the grain in Jincheng and other places as soon as possible! Xu Fuzi nodded in response.
"Pingyang and Shangdang's side are relatively easy to handle! The grain in Hedong, Hongnong and Shangluo is enough to supply them! The land of Pingyang County, Yong'an, must be a place for both sides to fight, so the city must store enough food. Pingyang County, a little further south, must also reserve a batch to meet the needs of emergencies! As for the party, Wuxiang, Gaodu and Huguan counties must store a batch of grain to cope with wartime! In addition, the soldiers and horses in other places basically have the support of the original military warehouse, which is enough! Li Xin continued.
When everyone heard this, they thought about it for a while, and felt that he had basically spoken very comprehensively, so they didn't add anything more.
"As the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first! We can't make a big deal about the storage of grain and grass, otherwise, Zhang Ping will know about it, and I'm afraid that we will understand that we are prepared, and maybe we will act in advance because of this! Speaking of which, Wang Meng specially reminded him.
"Yes, this must be taken care of! Let the town army be responsible for the escort of grain and grass, and it is best to go out day and night! In short, the grain and grass will be transported safely and quickly! Li Xin nodded and said.
"If the food and grass are ready, the rest is a question of combat strategy. If the enemy really comes out in all directions, then we must arrange the upward allocation of troops from all sides, especially the person who commands the army, we must choose carefully! Tian He glanced at a few people and said in a deep voice.
"If Jincheng is over there, Zhou Tong has no problem! With him, the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou shouldn't be able to get by! The three places of Beidi and Anding Shangjun are naturally under the command of Li Erhei! This front is very long, but with Sun Tie stationed in the west, Shao Zisong stationed in Luguan in the east, and Li Erhei in the middle, there is basically no big problem. Li Xin didn't think much about it, so he decided directly.
He has a lot of trust in these people, and everyone knows their abilities, so there is no objection after hearing his proposal.
"It was enough to have Liao Chuan in the land of Shangdang, but it was facing the most powerful Yan State, so I had to be cautious. There is Lu Guang on the front line of Huguan, although he is young, the words of the guards should not be a problem. The three places of Wuxiang, Niexian and Yiyang in the north are also mainly defense-oriented, and only the passes in the south have no suitable people in charge. After a pause, Li Xin continued.
"The land of Yong'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is a war, presumably the general should go over and take the town in person! In this way, Liu Xiaohai, who is now stationed there, might as well transfer him to Gaodu County to be responsible! As for the land east of the river, you can send another person to garrison it, after all, it is not a new place, so we don't have to worry too much! Wang Meng thought about it for a moment and then proposed.
"It's good! Gaodu is actually not far from Yiguan and other places, so I will hand over these two important places to him to be responsible! In this case, it is basically set up. As for the time of war in the future, seeing the opportunity to do ~ things are naturally indispensable! That's it! Hurry up and prepare! Li Xin naturally didn't doubt Liu Xiaohai's ability, so he nodded and agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Judging from this situation, only the southern line of Guanzhong, as well as the two counties of Shangluo and Hongnong, have not been moved. There are Chen Kang and Zhao Ji in these two places, and the army has basically not moved, in fact, it is to guard against Huan Wen in the south.
After all, although it seems that the other party has a good relationship with him now, the necessary precautions are still indispensable. Otherwise, if you are really careless, it will not be good if something goes wrong again.
After the discussion was completed, everyone discussed the details again, and the whole battle plan was slowly formed. After everyone dispersed, the entire Huashan Army secretly began to prepare quickly according to this plan.
On the surface, it seems that everything is normal under the rule of the Huashan Army, especially the people, who are still immersed in the joy of the harvest at this time, and do not feel as if the storm is coming. This is the case for the people in Guanzhong, who are closest to Chang'an, not to mention people in other places.
Just as the Huashan Army began to prepare intensively, Zhang Ping in Jinyang City finally got the news from all parties at this time. The messengers sent a few years ago, due to the different distances, heavy snow and secrecy, have not all returned to Jinyang until now.
In the Assassin's Mansion, except for Zhang Ping, only the strategist who proposed the plan at the beginning and those messengers were there.
"Envoy, King Liang's side has already discussed properly, and he promised that as long as the envoy sends troops, his side will immediately send troops to attack Jincheng and Xiping. Once these two places are taken, they will take advantage of the situation to occupy the entire territory of Qinzhou. As for other places, he doesn't mean to get involved! "The messenger who spoke first was sent to Guzang. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
