5,000 trucks pulled 780,000 people, hauling some artillery, conventional ammunition, and a small amount of food, but there would be no extra space and capacity, and it would consume ammunition and supplies after the war on the way to transfer them, and logistics could only rely on Yuke's four-wheel baggage convoys, Caoyun and local assistance from Yan State.

Of course, horses can also be used to transfer troops, but the limitations of horses lie in their endurance and rations, and the first-class Central Plains war horses can run up to 130 or 40 miles a day, and no matter how fast the horses are, they will lose weight or even be injured.

If one person and three horses travel more than 300 miles a day, 780,000 people need 24,400,000 horses, and the amount of grain, grass and money required is really staggering.

But the car is much more economical, two shifts a day at least one day 15,600 miles, if the road and night vision allow, but also light up the night travel, the need for fuel costs is much more affordable.

After thinking for a while, Bai Liyan was still not at ease with Rongcheng, and after weighing it again and again, he said:

"In this way, I will transfer the Eighth Town Army to the periphery of Rongcheng, and at the same time transfer the second column of the new group Zhou Deyan to Rongcheng to assist in the defense and prevent it from landing."

The voice fell, and Gongliang Xiu on the side said:

"It's better to be cautious, if you attack the east and the west, the coalition forces will be tired of mobilizing."

Bai Liyan nodded and said affirmatively:

"It's possible, but now there is no shortage of time, only a shortage of troops. Only the proper mobilization of forces can cope with its incursion from the sea. ”

The strength that Bailiyan refers to is not a chivalrous concept in numbers, but a high-quality force equipped with guns.

Yan has four counties, and the standing army after the war is more than 300,000, and it is not a big problem to double the expansion of local combat forces during the war, but to let the natives with swords go to fight against the advanced civilization that is two or three eras ahead of the aircraft and artillery, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

Before the alliance, Baili Yan had no intention of arming the princes, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the Yan Kingdom could be left to arm themselves in the future, which was much better than sending them to death in vain now.

Compared with the scarcity of high-quality troops, the Central Plains land machine power is much more efficient, there is water transportation on inland rivers, and there are four-wheeled carriages, war horses, and automobiles on land, and it does not take a month to drive to Qiguo now.

In other words, the superiority of armpit maneuverability at sea is gone, and the highest level of command art is not how powerful your weapons are or how many people you kill, but in the same time, using a limited number of troops, you can achieve higher battlefield scheduling efficiency. [Note 1]

If you're only one and you're facing three, but you're communicating faster than them, you're more mobile, and your enemies are scattered, you'll undoubtedly be able to defeat them individually faster.

After agreeing with Su Fangyi about sending troops, two rounds of artillery fire were carried out at the shooting range to show him the range and power of the Type 657 gun, so as to calm Su Fangyi's anxious mood.

The next day, Gongliangxiu continued to visit Yongxing City, and Bailiyan returned to Lingling to pick up the Jin delegation and meet an old man, Wang Li.

From Pingtang City to Chenling, whether by water or land, it is farther than Zhiguo Yucheng, and there is no railway east of Chenling, and when the county comes ashore, it comes by horse and car all the way.

In the Yongxing Incident of the Cloud Festival Alliance, Wang Li once said that he would never see each other again in this life, and it has been almost 20 years since the two last met. However, if they meet again in 20 years, they have their own tastes in their hearts.

"After nearly twenty years, my brother is in good health."

Baili Yan was very respectful, and Wang Li also raised his hand to salute and said with emotion:

"Okay." When the words fell, Wang Li introduced: "This is the dog Wang Peng, and the second son Xian'er never came with him when he stayed in the country." Peng Er, I haven't seen Yongxing Hou yet. ”

Wang Peng took two steps forward and raised his hand to salute:

"Wang Peng has seen the Marquis of Yongxing."

"Hehe, the young general, hurry up and excuse me."

Ten years ago, when Jin Ye was mourned, Wang Peng had accompanied the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the long history of Gaoji, together with the Liang State to mourn, Baili Yan saw a few of his faces from afar, and he believed that Wang Peng also saw him at that time.

After some greetings, Bailiyan led everyone into the tomb, and while walking, Bailiyan asked Wang Li:

"Why don't you see Chang Shi Gaoji?"

"Gao Changshi is still in Yin Yangcheng, and he will come back in a few days."

Gao Ji is Fan Tao's protégé, serving as a long history for many years, after Fan Tao, Gao Ji has a high probability of becoming the prime minister, as for the other cabinets and relatives, the power is not as big as Fan Tao's, and Fan Tao has no son, it is inevitable to help Gao Ji to serve as the prime minister.

This time, Gao Ji went to Yin Yang City halfway, most likely to win the support of Yin Yangjun Fang Dan's forces, Fang Dan is now in Chenling, and Yin Yang's management is handed over to his cronies, Gao Ji went more to promise some political benefits, in order to divide Fang Dan's internal forces and obtain some economic benefits.

After all, the current Fang Dan is the richest man in the Jin Kingdom, and just scraping a layer of skin is enough for the Jin princes and nobles to eat a few meals, and if he can get some support from within Fang Dan's forces, Gao Ji's position will be more stable.

However, it also made Bai Liyan see that since the generation of Gong Shukuo, the road of the Jin Kingdom has become more and more evil, and it has developed to the generation of disciples and grandchildren of Gaoji, and it is difficult to make any great achievements in governing the country.

However, it is undeniable that the variables of Xianguo suppressed the development space of the Jin State, and Gongshukuo's strategic policy was not realized.

In addition, the perennial singing and dancing is far away from the center of war, a country that does not fight big wars and does not shed blood all the year round, and benefits from the strong market economy of the Xian country, and over time the people forget the war, the powerful are busy with the struggle of interests, and it is the inevitable result to breed comfort and pleasure.

After entering the city, the people of the Jin Kingdom were shocked by the prosperity and advancement of the Lingling, but Wang Li's heart was complicated and complicated. He was thinking that if Gong Shukuo hadn't forced Bailiyan away back then, everything today would have belonged to the Jin State, and with the national strength and strategic location of the Jin State, it would have developed better than the Xian State in forty years.

Seeing Wang Li's solemn expression, Bai Liyan guessed a few points in his heart, and he said:

"Brother is thinking about Uncle Kuo."

Wang Li looked at him in surprise, was silent for a moment, and said:

"How do you know?"

Bai Liyan smiled lightly, and said:

"Uncle Kuo's rule lies in the ferocity, and does not know the way of benevolence and righteousness, according to the strategy set by him before his death, if the implementation is carried out, now the situation in the Central Plains is even more chaotic, Zhi, Jin, Xu, Sun, and the black scarf are constantly attacking and killing each other, and it is inevitable that the Jin State will be injured by the Zhiguo. If the Jin Kingdom wants to dominate, it is almost possible. ”

"Are you saying that the national policy set by Uncle Cheng for many years cannot be realized."

"Exactly. Even if the Xian Kingdom was destroyed, it would not be realized, because the Black Turban was stronger than the Jin Kingdom, and only the Zhi Kingdom could match it at that time. However, Zhiguo is also afraid of the black scarf, so he will not fight. As long as the black scarf does not take the initiative to provoke Zhiguo, the Jin State will be dragged into the battlefield of Xianguo and will be unable to extricate itself. ”

"But if there is no black scarf, the strategy of the uncle and the prime minister may not be impossible to try."

Wang Li still wanted to argue, but Bailiyan didn't give him a chance.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, even if there is no black scarf, how can the Liang State see the Jin State swallow up the Xian State and then hurt the Zhiguo, and then it will inevitably be the princes who will attack. If your Jin Kingdom's combat strength is not won by numbers, when the Xian civil strife is in the country, your Jin Kingdom may not be able to move the Xian Kingdom. Even if the Xianguo is defeated, the Jin State will not be able to take the Xianguo without killing or wounding three or five hundred thousand people.

I might as well tell my brother that Uncle Kuo was originally the senior brother of Uncle Guang, the former head of the Chengdao faction, and at that time, Gongsun Yue, the Xiangguo of Xianguo, belonged to Xiong Lundao and conspired with the Chengdao faction.

The elder brother thought that Gongsun Yue was changing the law in the Xian Kingdom, and Gongshu Kuo was planning to prepare for war in the Jin Kingdom, was it just an accident? Uncle Kuo is really so godly? It is expected that the Xianguo will be deeply troubled, hehe, all this is just a bureau laid out by the Chengdao faction back then. Uncle Kuoming is the hegemon of the Jin Kingdom, but in fact, he helps the Son of Heaven again. ”

"I've heard about Uncle Xiangguo and Uncle Guang, but you said that Lao Xiangguo and the Chengdao faction conspired to plot against my king, I really don't dare to agree."

"I won't impose it on you whether I believe it or not, but I want to tell my brother that the way of the world has changed, the rise of the Xian State has become unstoppable, and the Jin State should consider considering the matter of a hundred years. Now I'm still here, and I still think of Rui Niang's friendship, if I die one day, the new man is in power, and the new king wants to rule the world, I can't do it, I hope my brother will think about it. ”

Wang Li was silent, he didn't answer Bai Liyan's words, because he knew that Bai Liyan was telling the truth.

After a while, the brigade arrived at the mansion arranged by Bailiyan, because the Jin State Pavilion was not big enough, this mansion was the property of Xihuan, and it was just used to arrange for the Jin State delegation to be stationed.

At this time, Lin Buluan, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and Ji Jinsheng, the general of Xihuan, had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time.

Previously, many envoys of the Jin State returned to the Jin State for various reasons, and Lin Buluan was a new envoy to the Xian State in 655. After everyone greeted each other, they immediately entered the house and continued to talk.

This time, the Jin State has no sincerity as always, nothing more than continuing to push the princes to fight with foreign enemies, and the Jin State will reap the benefits of the fisherman, but Bailiyan obviously will not let this kind of thing happen again.

The wars in the Central Plains over the years have not affected the Jin country, although the Jin country was greatly damaged in the battle of Qianyue Mountain, but they were all soldiers and some people who fought on the front line, and the local and economic chains were intact, and the Jin country escaped.

After many years of recuperation, the population has increased from more than 33 million more than 40 years ago to more than 42 million, and this is only the data that can be spied on in the official register, and those who are hidden and unregistered are at least 12 to 15 of the registered population of Xianguo, according to the previous experience of Xianguo.

With such a large population, the Jin State can provide at least two million effective soldiers, of course, this depends on what standard, what mobilization system and logistics support capacity, if according to the agricultural and industrial productivity thirty years ago, the Jin State is categorically unable to raise two million troops, and now it cannot afford to raise, not to mention the countless people who need it.

This time, the purpose of the Jin king's envoy to Gao Ji and Wang Li is very clear, one sings red face and the other sings white face, and it is okay for the Jin State to send troops, and give guns and artillery benefits.

"This is my king's request, if the king of Xian can agree, my country is willing to send 300,000 troops."

Wang Li handed over the conditions prescribed by the King of Jin, and Bai Liyan took it in his hand and quickly looked at it with ten lines, a total of seventeen major items, more than four hundred items, covering hundreds of thousands of tons of things from arms to daily necessities, and his appetite was really not small.

200,000 guns, 150,000 651 automatic guns, 400 654 heavy machine guns, 50 million rounds of ammunition of various types, 1,000 artillery pieces of various types, 200,000 shells, 1.5 million grenades with wooden handles, 500,000 grenades with oval handles, 600,000 helmets, 200,000 pieces of body armor, and so on...... There are even fifty-two kinds of medicines, which is like a lion's mouth.

Hastily skimmed over the name, Baili Yan didn't say anything, just put the paperwork upside down on the table, picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip. Ji Jinsheng saw this action in his eyes, and he knew very well in his heart that Bai Liyan did not take King Jin's conditions in his eyes at all, but he was also silent.

Note: The highest meaning of the speed of the soldier is that in the same unit time, the resources that can be invested in the battlefield by one's own troops and logistics support exceed those of the opponent.

For example, 100,000 people can use high-efficiency vehicles to move back and forth on a 300-kilometer front, but the local 100,000 people can only use two legs, which means that the side with high-efficiency vehicles can achieve faster dispatch, so as to achieve tactical flexible mobilization, and realize that one more fights and fewer strikes can be forced.

There are two core tenets of sports warfare: fight if you can fight, and run if you can't fight. Concentrate superior forces and firepower, take advantage of the lag between local marches and troops, and carry out interspersed encirclement and annihilation.

Compared to sailboats, automobiles undoubtedly have extremely high maneuverability.
