Chapter 1167: Strengths and Weaknesses

If Yu Wenxian came to Luoyang in person because of this, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses for Yang Jian.

Compared to Yang Jian, Li Xinchen's side naturally doesn't have so much to consider, they just want to intervene in the Luoyang battle, and the water is getting muddy, and the more beneficial it will naturally be for them.

And if you can directly rely on the family members of the Wei Chi family in Li Xinchen's hands to persuade Wei Chi to surrender, it will naturally be better, this nursery rhyme can be regarded as a means of Li Xinchen.

Obviously, Li Xinchen is more suspicious.

Wei Chishun frowned and said: "But it can't go on like this, it's true that the Qing is self-purifying, but without a war, it is difficult for us to prove ourselves." โ€

If you want to prove that this is just nonsense, then the easiest way is to clear the snow with a victory, not to mention that it is not difficult to defeat the opponent you face, and it may not be so easy to start a battle now. Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian's army had also just withdrawn, and both sides were licking their wounds, recuperating, and waiting for the big battle in the coming spring.

If Wei Chi Yu had started a war at this time, I am afraid that there would be more people who came to impeach him than before, and Yu Wenxian would definitely not agree.

A ballad forced Wei Chi to a dilemma.

"Li Xinchen ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Wei Chi said in a deep voice, "No wonder Xu Shanxin was in a hurry when he said goodbye to the old man this morning!" โ€

Li Hui and Wei Chishun were stunned for a moment, Xu Shanxin had already run away?

"In this way, Nanban is more suspicious." Li Hui said slowly, "Is the general going to send someone to stop them?" โ€

"How?" Wei Chi waved his hand helplessly, "They have the order of His Royal Highness King Qi, how can the old man stop it, not to mention in what name the old man will stop it, it is already very suspicious, if the envoy of the Southern Barbarians is chased back, then how should others look at the old man?" โ€

Li Hui hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It's the subordinates who have failed to consider." โ€

"What a dilemma." Wei Chi sighed.

How did you become a rat in the cracks?

And Wei Chishun looked at his father thoughtfully.

"See Your Majesty!"

Some people are in a bad mood, and naturally some people are in a good mood.

Li Xinchen, who had been refreshed after being warmed up with Wei Chi, still had a smile on his face.

His Majesty was in a good mood, and Gu Yewang and Xiao Maha and others were not in a bad mood.

The just-concluded Battle of the Northwest seems to be only a battle in the northwest corner, but it is of great benefit to the entire Han Dynasty.

For an agrarian dynasty, winter is generally a time when farming is slack, which often means the loss of a large number of laborers. Driven by the Battle of the Northwest, the labor force of the entire Han Dynasty was moved, new workshops were constantly built, new granaries began to be excavated, and from Saibei to Jiangnan, the entire Han Dynasty was busy because of this war.

This is to support the northwest, but also in the Han national strength mobilization exercise, as for its purpose is naturally self-evident, is to prepare for the Northern Expedition later. Facts have proved that under the mobilization of the whole country, even in the winter of wind and snow, the Han can burst out with strong cohesion, of course, this is also due to Li Xinchen's reorganized administrative structure and ethnic policy.

The younger government team and the more reasonable administrative divisions have obviously made everything smooth and smooth, and the approval of some documents and orders no longer needs to go through layers of approval, and the transfer of materials is also unimpeded under the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

As for those Ba people, the southern and central departments, and the Lingnan departments, they have played a very strong role in this national mobilization, especially the Ba people who have been down the mountain for a long time, and have become the main force to transfer the grain of Bashu to the northwest this time.

And after these Ding Zhuang arrived in Hanzhong, they would form an army to deal with the possible rout in the northwest at that time. Of course, in the end, the army in the northwest did not give these robes a chance to go to the battlefield, and the government is now organizing the return to the hometown in a unified manner, but in this process, these Ding Zhuang have also undergone paramilitary and preliminary militarization training, and now they are returning to their hometowns mainly to prepare for next year's spring ploughing, and after spring ploughing, they can become an army again at any time.

At the same time, Lingnan's three-year-old grain is also a steady stream of northward transportation, and "Lishui-Lingqu-Xiangshui-Dajiang" has once again proved its own value of existence.

The entire Han Dynasty was condensed into a whole behind this war, and this was what the court was most happy to see.

Undoubtedly, the transportation of grain and the movement of people can best stimulate economic development.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although it is not a great court meeting today, the people here are also the pillars of my Han country." Li Xinchen's gaze swept over the courtiers, and in the small imperial study, the officials above the imperial court were all together, "I am fortunate to be able to control the world through you!" โ€

"I dare not be ashamed!"

"Don't talk about it, cut to the chase," Li Xinchen waved his hand and walked straight to the map, "Now the world is not all between my five fingers, what do you think will happen to my Han next year, and what should be the priority?" โ€

King Gu Ye immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that recuperation is still the top priority, this battle in the northwest certainly shows that my Han can mobilize enough soldiers, horses, food and grass in a short period of time, but it also exposes a lot of problems. Our grain reserves are not so much that we even have to mobilize them from Lingnan and Nanzhong more distant places, and our population is still not comparable to that of the north, and compared with the 100,000 troops in the north, we may be able to raise 100,000 troops in one direction with the strength of the whole country. โ€

Xiao Maha also said: "Since Zai Fu is talking about military affairs, the minister wants to add a sentence, according to the deduction of the Taiwei Mansion, if you want to completely form an advantage over Yang Jian, you need at least 300,000 soldiers and horses, and if you want to suppress Yu Wenxian, the number of people is even more than this." And now we have only so many soldiers and horses in the northwest, Hanzhong, Xiangyang, Huainan and other directions, and if we go all out to conquer one of them, it means exposing the flanks to the other, so the minister thinks that at least now the northern expedition is not the time, and the top priority is to find a way to make up for the gap in troops. โ€

The head of these two civil and military officials stood up and blocked the road to the direct northern expedition, but this was also expected by Li Xinchen, and this time the battle in the northwest also exposed the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty, which was vast but too small in population.

However, how to make up for the disadvantage of the population in a short period of time is precisely a very difficult problem, after all, in order to encourage fertility in the south, it is necessary to maintain the living standards of the common people.
