Wanyan Hong's fat face was originally full of fortitude, how could he not know what Wanyan Zongshu said? Donghu's original national strength was weak, the reserves were quite limited, the wealth accumulated by each family was handed over to the Gongzhong, once there was famine and war, it could only provide the tribal men with a short period of marching military rations, the Gongzhong was not able to produce food, their own food, the bulk of the wealth was handed over to the Gongzhong to the Great Khan nobles, and the small half of the wealth was directly distributed to the tribal soldiers.

Even if it is a small half, as long as everything goes well, each soldier can be allocated a lot of wealth, and the wealth looted for three months can at least make the soldiers live a good life for three years.

This war is also related to the life and death of all the tribes of Donghu, Donghu is tenacious, even if there are people who continue to starve to death, die in battle, and die of serious injuries, Han slaves will also be killed and injured in this war, the more so, the more no one complains!

"I just want to say that it's just a battle to the death...... Wanyan Zongshu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I said these words just to let the Great Khan know that at this time, regardless of the palace tent of the Chinese army, the left and right front and rear departments, our Donghu tribes, only fight with the Wei army to the end." They dare to come to fight with us at this time, and they must not be able to support it at home, this is a rare opportunity, we have to seize it! ”

Wan Yanhong listened quietly, but did not answer for a while, but just looked at the two surnamed Yelu Nayan.

Yelushu clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to drive for the Great Khan." ”

Yelu Ming said: "My son of the Yelu family, I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for this battle." ”

Donghu Khan did not have absolute authority, many things need the support of Nayan and Wanhu of various ministries, at this time there are five Nayan and the Great Khan of the same will, Chechen Khan finally smiled with satisfaction, and said: "I am very relieved that you can understand the importance of this battle and are willing to die for it. I am the Great Khan, and I am also the face of the central region, and there is a word here in advance, the harvest of this battle will not be left in the public, and all the parts will be given to the soldiers of the various departments, you can tell the soldiers in advance what this means. ”

Everyone has no intention of objecting, this time it is different from looting, the floating wealth will be limited, it is estimated that what will be obtained is military rations and ordnance, these things are distributed to the soldiers, it is nothing more than to increase the strength of the various departments, and there is no need to keep these things in their hands, anyway, they will be divided.

For ordinary people, the captured spoils can be fully distributed, of course, it is a great incentive, and Chechen Khan's move is also to fight desperately with the Wei army.

This time, Donghu has also exhausted its national strength, and if it is not fully supplemented by the people, I am afraid that it will take many years to slow down.

"I still don't understand why the Wei army is in a hurry to come over for a decisive battle." Wanyan Zongshu looked ahead, not far away is where Jinzhou is located, the northwest direction can faintly see the smoke and dust of the Wei cavalry running out, before the Donghu army did not go all out, the light cavalry of the two armies has been fighting a tug-of-war in the Jinzhou area, after seeing the main force of the Donghu army all out, the Wei cavalry should have withdrawn to the Ningyuan area.

However, the main force of the Wei army also set off from Ningyuan, and it is estimated that these cavalry will meet the main force of the Wei army in a day or two, and then turn into the backbone of the army and return to the battlefield.

The Wei people's people and the Xiang army have long been withdrawn to the rear, of course, Jinzhou City has not been repaired, only in the periphery of the city wall to build a long base of more than 20 miles, there are dozens of arrow tower castles repaired, if the main force of the Wei army attacked, with the help of these fortifications to defend the defense, it is also a big trouble for Donghu.

If the Wei army insisted on using a small number of soldiers and horses to guard the long encirclement, a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in Ningyuan, and used fine horses to slowly consume with the Donghu people on the side of Yushui, the Donghu side would definitely not be able to afford it.

From last summer to now, more than half a year has passed, the battle line between the two sides has advanced nearly 400 miles from outside Yuguan to the Yushui side, and the reason is also simple...... Of course, the top level of Donghu was not so stupid, and led the cavalry to the Wei army's infantry formation, which was more numerous, more well-armed, and well-organized.

Under the advance of the Wei army step by step, the Donghu army had no way, and the small-scale cavalry battle Wei army was indeed defeated by Donghu, but all the way to the camp army fort and ditch were repaired in this way, and the activity space of the Donghu cavalry was also pressed smaller and smaller, and finally after the construction of Ningyuan City, the Donghu people could only take the initiative to retreat.

In addition to the narrow terrain that is not conducive to fighting, it is also because the Donghu side has no way to support the army to fight on the battlefield hundreds of miles away, and its national strength and logistics are completely unable to support it.

It is more than 800 miles from Liaozhou to Yuguan, during which it has to cross Liaoshui and its tributaries, then cross Yushui, and pass through Songshan and Tashan and other mountainous areas.

Prior to this, more than 100,000 Donghu people were on the side of the Liao River, and even with this level of mobilization, their national strength was already stretched, a large number of Donghu people were starving, and the plundered Han slaves were dying of cold and starvation in batches.

This is the sorrow of small countries, they can win a hundred times, but if they lose once, it is all over.

Hearing Wan Yan Zongshu's words, Wan Yan Hong smiled slightly and said: "Our army has mobilized more than 210,000 people from five departments, and more than 300,000 people from the Ministries and Han Mins have supported logistics, but in fact, as long as it is not a long-term confrontation, our army does not need logistics vehicles and people. Our Donghu army went out on the march, and each person brought his own food according to military discipline, from three days, five days, to ten days, fifteen days, and the longest was a month's ration. Our army soldiers can march on horseback, hurry, sleep, travel more than 100 miles a day without any problem, we are thirsty to drink water, eat dry food, each person with dozens of catties of grain and dried meat can drive thousands of miles, only need to bring some concentrate to feed the horse, every day to have half a day to the horse rest, feed the wash war horse, if it is really in a hurry, hundreds of miles a day can also walk. We don't need a lot of food, arrows, and dry food, all of which the soldiers bring themselves. This time, the army was dispatched, and the supply of food and ordnance was too huge, so we had craftsmen to rush to work day and night, and we did our best to mobilize Ding Zhuang to transport. In this way, everyone feels that our Donghu people are bleeding, there is no one in the fields, the stored grain is exhausted, and the stored salt and iron are also exhausted. Our savings in the past few decades have been consumed every day, and money is flowing like water. We are fighting at the doorstep of the war, the main force of the Wei army gathered, out of Yuguan in the summer, at least in the spring in half of the country dispatch, the farthest is afraid that it is two thousand miles away, from the beginning of the army to mobilize when they are spending money, the Wei people's model is different from ours, our people and soldiers are one, their soldiers, one will be dozens of people, from armor to weapons, all from the people's taxes, their people are not as tough as our people, and they will rebel if they pay too much tax......"

Wan Yanhong showed a faint look of ridicule on his face, and he had an admiring side to Dawei's mode of operation, as well as a side of ridicule and contempt.

This Yi Great Khan is the object of contempt in Great Wei, but these Yi people don't have their own unique views and opinions on military affairs, and they also have their own outstanding places?

Huaxia used to be a militaristic system, the most obvious is the militaristic system of the Qin army, the army is the people, the people are also the army, from the unearthed Qin Jian, the Qin soldiers are also brothers together, and to bring some food, weapons, armor, jackets, and even before the flowers, in the letters of the soldiers of the Qin army, they often ask their families to send some food and clothing, and once delayed, I am afraid that they will die in the army.

Of course, this kind of recruitment is a militaristic system, and any man who can serve without a disability cannot be an exception, which is quite similar to the current system of integrating soldiers and civilians in Donghu. The Qin and Han systems are more advanced, military merit awards can inspire soldiers to fight bravely, farming nations will use all their national strength in the war, the complete militaristic system makes the Qin army and the Han army will be far behind the four Yi at that time, the Han will beat the Xiongnu to the west or annexed, the powerful nomads have since disappeared in the grassland, even if the Han will die, the border county Taishou can also defeat the grassland aliens, so that they dare not commit the Han land half a step.

Wanyan Zongshu smiled and said, "It seems that the power of the Son of Heaven of Great Wei is not as good as our Great Khan, and his two mansions are not as good as our Nayans. If we decide that this battle should be fought, it must be fought, and we can fight to the end. ”

Chechen Khan said with a smile: "The Wei people want to talk about benevolence and law, there is a right place here, and you can't do without law in such a large territory on weekdays." But it is not possible to learn all the things from the ancient brain, such as the method of raising soldiers and using soldiers, which is very wrong. And although its national strength is strong, it can't be used on serious topics, and it costs too much...... Now it seems that they can't afford to spend it outside the gate, so they can only come to us to fight. This battle just happened to be what we also wanted to fight, and if he wanted to fight, he would come to fight. Let's use this battle to build our rich future in the next hundred years! ”

The words of the Great Khan were not deliberately loud, but the surrounding Nayan, Nuoyan, and all the households heard it, and all of them looked yearning and fierce, and some people were eager to try, pressing knives on horseback, as if they were about to face the victory of the Wei army and slaughter them now.

"Maybe in a few months, we will be able to march under the walls of the capital of Wei." Wanyan Hong was very interested, Wei Jun was definitely not the boss's intention to fight this time, according to Li Guorui's style of play and practice, it was the most headache for this Chechen Khan. It's more than patience and a drain of national strength, Chechen Khan didn't know how the Wei people's family was before, anyway, the Donghu people's family was going to be exhausted...... If the stalemate continues, Chechen Khan can only take a risk, in front of the enemy's prepared array, lead the army to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, even if it is impossible to win, to prevent the Wei army from continuing to advance, but such a forced decisive battle, how many chances the Donghu army can win, Chechen Khan himself is not sure, he just knows that he has to resist when he should resist, no matter how many people die, he must also fight, even if half of the whole army dies, as long as it can withstand the offensive of the Wei army, so that it fails to build the city, it will be considered a success.

Under the strategy, even if there is a mountain of white bones, Chechen Khan only calculates whether it is more cost-effective, but does not calculate how many losses, how many men died in battle, and how many old people and children starved to death at home because the last mouthful of food in the family was plundered.

This Great Khan is usually good to his people, kind and benevolent, but once he goes to the battlefield, he will be like a stone!

This is not only the case of the Great Khan, but also those ordinary Donghu soldiers, nobles, commanders of thousands of soldiers leading troops, and thousands of households, are all like this, and must be so!

Growing up in such a cold, cruel and lack of warmth environment, you have to kill and hunt when you are a minor, and you have to kill and fight as soon as you become an adult.

"I still don't know, the population of Dawei is 100 times that of us, and the national strength is also 100 times that of us, I heard that they have a one called Fujian Road, and the taxes paid in a year are more than 10 million yuan, which is much stronger than our Donghu country...... How rich is this, and we are fighting for national strength, but they can't stand it first? Wanyan Zongshu shook his head and sighed for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he said to the people around him: "Since Great Wei can't do it, we Donghu people should become the masters of the world. If this battle is won, then I will hide the world and become the lord of hundreds of millions of Wei people! ”
