"Hmm. It's really a lot, a lot of people. Shang Wu nodded and said.

"In this way, our team has expanded a lot. I think the number of people has increased rapidly by about 80,000 people all of a sudden, which is basically the same as the official army. Jia Xu said.

"Let's not be too happy, many things are different from what I thought, these people, I don't plan to put them into use for the time being, and I can't use such an army until the last moment." Shang Wu said. Although the number of regular troops of the Red Turban Army has increased a lot all of a sudden, Shang Wu knows very well in his heart that their combat effectiveness will decline a lot, not only that, but there are many things that exceed their expectations, such as the overall decline in combat effectiveness, and the rapid decline of weapons and equipment to a low point due to the increase in numbers. Shang Wu knew this very well, he knew it better than anyone else.

"It's hard to believe that you can keep such a cool head." Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.

"It is also this kind of calmness that the more we should be calm, we should not see an increase in numbers, and we will ignore the combat effectiveness. If we really ignore this, we are in great danger. In this matter, we must keep a clear head. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. However, I think that these people still have to go through a battle to have a big promotion, and with such an improvement. They can become the Red Turban Army in the true sense of the word. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I agree with this, but we can't be in a hurry yet, many things, we have to give them some time, so that they can have a preparation process, with such a time preparation, in order to solve a series of other things. Is it? Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. OK. Jia Xu nodded and said.

"The Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang also surrendered. The Yellow Turban Army is gone, and it is no longer a climate. Jia Xu said one thing.

"It's a burden for more than 20,000 people, eating and drinking. We can't afford that. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. There is indeed a lot of pressure on the financial side, and we have to support it if it is not enough, otherwise, there will be the next stage of the war, and we will block the southward passage of the northern army. Otherwise, he rescued the new army in the West Garden. Jia Xu talked about the next step.

"Hmm." Shang Wu just snorted.

"Let's be honest." Shang Wu said to Jia Xu.

"Judging from our current strength and combat effectiveness, it is already quite remarkable to eat the Northern Army and the Xiyuan New Army." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm." Jia Xu nodded, and a serious military problem was once again placed in front of Shang Wu and Jia Xu, and this problem was extremely serious, so serious that if it was not solved, it would be difficult for many things to proceed.

"The war is not over, it is completely over. But the problems we are currently encountering are quite large, and we will sort them out ourselves. The problem we are currently experiencing. Shang Wu said.

"First of all, it's financial." Shang Wu said.

"More money is needed financially, and more money is needed for arms production to buy raw materials, especially the consumption of sulfur, and the finances of the base areas. It has already entered the side of a large fiscal deficit. Shang Wu said.

"If this problem is not solved, it will affect our subsequent supply." Jia Xu said.

"Although a lot of people are actively involved, these alone will not solve the problem." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. Therefore, we must carry out the land policy and create more fiscal revenue. To revitalize a large number of assets, we can sell some of the woodland, minerals, etc., to attract those merchants to join in. Let them buy as long as they do. Things will be much easier to solve. Shang Wu said.

"It's the same old way." Jia Xu said.

"Land, the key is land, we can sell some land to them, or issue land bonds, use bonds to provide so much land, as long as we sell these things, we may be able to solve part of it financially." Shang Wu said. There is a great deal of close relationship between the land policy and the base areas, and the land policy is a completely new policy, which is carried out by referring as much as possible to the period of the agrarian revolution and some of the policies of various countries on the land during the period of entering capitalism. The war has caused a large number of losses, but it has also caused the emergence of a large number of ownerless land, and the landless population needs to redistribute these lands, which is an opportunity to sell these lands, and sell these lands, so that merchants can buy them on a large scale, to a certain extent, can relieve the financial pressure.

"Hmm. land, more concentrated, but funding. Money, without more money, it is difficult for us to further solve such problems. Jia Xu said.

"Then issue bonds and try it, if you can sell these land bonds at a higher price, you can solve all the problems." Shang Wu said. How to sell it still needs to be decided by the market, but Shangwu feels that letting the bank underwrite the sale is the best solution. This matter needs to be thought about carefully.

"Well, this issue is put on hold for the time being, but what should we do about military matters? Lao Mu's infantry brigade. Coupled with the newly formed Fourth Brigade, their losses were very large, and it took Lao Mu a long time to block them, but to eat them, our side had to go south, not only that. Jia Xu said.

"If the northern army goes south, we won't be able to withstand each other. They will inevitably save each other. This, what to do? Jia Xu talked about this military issue.

"First of all, we have to seize and prevent the other party from connecting with the Xiyuan New Army too quickly, or find a way to solve the problem of the Xiyuan New Army." Shang Wu said.

"It can only be up to us to stop the Northern Army from moving south, but if we want to eat the New Army of Xiyuan quickly, we have to think of other things." Shang Wu said and took out his notebook to record what kind of situation the front line was, Shang Wu and Jia Xu both needed to check on the spot before they could draw conclusions.

Separate Brigade Command. The Separate Brigade was already a large regiment of three thousand people. It's a pity that they are still called the Independent Brigade and do not have a number in the real sense.

"This three-two-three regiment. That's awesome enough. "Zhou Cang has learned a lot of words in these times. Although there were not many words on the briefing, he did not recognize them all. But the general meaning can be understood.

"Well, I watched it for a long time, but I just understood. The new army in the West Garden was repulsed twice by the 323rd Regiment. Let's go up, the 323rd Regiment is the same. Pei Yuanshao said disdainfully.

"Lao Pei, you can't say this, this three, two, three regiment. It's still not simple, the first time, people wiped out their families. It was also added twice, both times by the militia. Li Dao said.

"What?" Pei Yuanshao asked in surprise.

"Isn't that stupid? How can you fight the family foundation. This kind of thing. Pei Yuanshao said. He still has a Yellow Turban Army practice of keeping his own family background, which is the idea and practice of common warlords. But the Red Turbans are different, they have ideals.

"They are not stupid, their sacrifice is for other combat units to have better combat opportunities, if everyone thinks so, the Xiyuan New Army will not be able to stop it. So. Li Dao looked at the briefing note in his hand.

"So, it's not easy. The determination to be able to clean up one's own family is not something that you and I can figure out. Zhou Cang said to Lao Pei.

"Really." Lao Pei said.

"Therefore, it was decided to form the Fourth Infantry Brigade based on the 323rd Regiment. The shelves of this brigade have not yet been built. The 323rd Regiment has suffered a great loss of vitality after this vicious battle, and the above plans to draw forces from various units to form the Fourth Infantry Brigade, if our brigade. Li Dao said.

"It's an opportunity. Lao Zhou, haven't we always wanted a chance? Some regiments, with only a few hundred fucking people, can get a number, and our independent brigade has 3,000 people. "Pei Yuanshao.

"Okay, Lao Pei, we are fighting a tailwind war, and everyone is besieging the new army in Xiyuan, if it doesn't work, you block one." Zhou Cang said.

"Lao Li, tell me, what should we do next?" Zhou Cang asked.

"The next step, I think so, we're already on the periphery. If you go directly to support, I'm afraid, you won't be able to fight a vicious war. Li Dao said.

"If there is no vicious battle, we will not have a number." Pei Yuanshao said.

"Well, recently, I asked the scouts to walk around the surrounding situation, and then, judging from the current situation, I think our next plan is to stop the Northern Army." Li Dao said.

"The Northern Army?" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao asked. Because they know that the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army is actually stronger than that of the Xiyuan New Army, because the Xiyuan New Army is a new army and needs a certain amount of running-in, but the Northern Army is different, they have been replenished to a certain extent, and they have been fighting, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"Yes, if we are Huangfu Song's, we will definitely go south to rescue the new army in Xiyuan, because this is their Emperor Majesty's pro-army, if the pro-army is eaten, it means that their Emperor Majesty will be very annoyed. Therefore, in the next step, we must buy time for the commander, it will take a long time for the main force to pursue in the north, and the only way for us is to stop them, this is a vicious battle, it may wipe out our family, we are the best. There is such preparation, after all, this is a blocking war. "Li Dao knew when he was studying that the resistance battle was extremely difficult to fight, although he had never encountered it, but this time, he encountered it. The situation will become different from yours, and in such a situation, they have no choice but to love more.
