"I plan to reinstate you as the commander of the Central Plains camp and continue to command the soldiers and horses of Henan, Shandong, and Huainan." Luo Cheng said unexpectedly.

"The Central Plains camp is unified? What do I stay in Zhongyuan for? Brothers, I'm going to save my heirs. ”

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"I will personally drive to the north, so I will let the prince come to Luoyang to supervise the country, let the emperor stay in Fanyang to sit in the town, and then you will sit in the city of Xinglong Mansion."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that I fought the tiger brothers, I handed over the Central Plains to you, and I trusted you. I will personally drive the expedition to the north, go to meet Jieli and others, what about you, send troops from Shandong, attack Hebei for me, and contain some soldiers and horses of Dou Jiande. I will send an edict to the scholar of Liaodong City in Thang Long Mansion and ask him to send troops to attack Dou Jiande with you. ”

The fourth child was surprised, "You want to fight on two fronts?" Why don't you go north first and do your best to lie down. ”

"Of course, it is an all-out Northern Expedition, and I will lead the main force to fight a decisive battle with Jieli, and you are only a partial division here."

This time, Luo Cheng is ready to make a big move, since all parties want to join forces to kill him first, then he will serve them in one pot. "I only left two soldiers and horses for the Central Plains camp, and I will mobilize all the rest to the north. Your task is not light, not only to prevent Li Yuan from going out of Tongguan in Guanzhong, but also to prevent Xiao Milling from going north, as well as to prevent Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong from south of the Yangtze River, of course, the focus is to prevent Dou Jiande in Hebei. ”

"Fourth, 50,000 people are given to you, how do you plan to arrange it?" The emperor thought about his brothers.

Luo Cunxiao thought for a while, "Wuguan is stationed at 12,000, Shaanxi County is stationed at 12,000, then Tiger Prison is stationed at 12,000, Jiangdu is stationed at 12,000, and I will lead 2,000 elite cavalry to be stationed in Xinglongfu Licheng." ”

This arrangement is a bit too scattered, but if it is only a defense, it will be evenly distributed.

"Tiger Prison and Licheng have a total of 14,000, with this strength to attack Hebei, I'm afraid it's a little weak, right?"

The fourth child smiled, "Then it depends on how to fight, I have the initiative to attack, and what I want is to be mobile and flexible, so there are not many soldiers, mainly to attack and harass and plunder, it is enough for Dou Jiande to drink a pot, I don't need to fight with him." ”

Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "I'm relieved if you can say this, although I only give you 50,000 horses, but the development of the township regiment militia in the Central Plains Sandao is not bad, this is a large number of reserve forces, if you can use it well, you can be of great help." ”

"I know."

Luo Cheng patted Cunxiao's shoulder, "Okay, then I'll go back to the palace, behave well, if you fight well in the Central Plains, when I give you a fief, I can pick a good one for you." ”

"Then I'll make a note of it, and then I'll talk." The fourth laughed.

Luo Cheng only left two troops and horses for Cunxiao, and the rest of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, including those in Hedong, would follow him north, with a number of 200,000 people, a full eight armies.

This is a newly reorganized full-fledged army.

In addition, Feng Xiaoci of Hebei, Zhao Gui of Beijing, Luo Shixin of Liaodong and other departments will also be ordered to draw heavy troops to join, so in the end, this decisive battle in the north of the country.

Luo Cheng will mobilize up to 400,000 troops, which is to go all out to fight, in addition to Xu Shao in the four counties of Yiling, Yang Shilin in the four counties of Handong, and Tuman in the two counties of Hanzhong, as well as Li Jing and Luo Yi's soldiers and horses in Lingnan, as well as Xu Shiji's troops in the area of Hancheng on the Korean Peninsula.

This is already a national dispatch.

"Your Majesty, the art of war, Fan Xing has 100,000 divisions, and he goes on a journey of thousands of miles, and he spends a lot of money every day."

Wei Zheng admonished.

He was very worried about the emperor's plan for the Northern Expedition.

Dispatching an army of 400,000 at a time, even if it is a convergence of troops from all directions, is too huge.

At the time of the Warring States Period, eight families were neighbors, and one person from one family joined the army, and seven families needed to be worshipped, so it was said that 100,000 divisions were raised, and 700,000 families were affected.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the production efficiency was low, and now the production level has improved, but people eat more horses and chew less, on the contrary, the army of the Qin army is highly mobile and has a large number of war horses, pack horses, etc., resulting in higher consumption of grain and grass.

Now Daqin controls the entire territory of Liaoning, Andong, Hedong, Shandong, Henan, and Huainan, plus half of Hebei and half of Dingxiang, not counting half of Shannan and half of Lingnan and Annan, only those six and a half provinces, the population is about 3 million households, and the total population is only about 15 million, and 400,000 soldiers and horses are dispatched, plus Xu Shiji and Luo Cunxiao and other partial divisions, which is equivalent to 500,000 people, and the conscription rate is equivalent to 3 percent.

A conscription rate of three percent may not sound like much, but it's almost the limit.

This reminded Wei Zheng of Yang Guang's first expedition to the east, which requisitioned 1.13 million troops, but this defeat led to the collapse of the late Sui Dynasty.

Although today's Great Qin is the strongest among the heroes in the world, it has the strongest opportunity to dominate the world. But if this battle is not fought well, the consequences will be very terrible.

"Lao Dao, you don't have to worry, I am not Yang Guang, I don't know how to do any pomp, and these 400,000 soldiers and horses are not all set off from Luoyang. Some were transferred from Huainan, some were transferred from Henan and Shandong, some set off from Hedong, some set off from Hebei, and some were already in the battlefield with Siye, Simo, Liu Hongji and other troops, and then there were Xi Qi and other foreign feudal troops. ”

These 400,000 troops, rushing to Daibei from all directions, will not even all rush to the same place, but will form several battlefields.

"Zhao Gui led the army to attack Shanggu, Feng Xiaoci led the army to attack Zhao County, Shixin led the army to attack Hejian, Xi Qi's army attacked Huaihuang, and Cunxiao attacked the plain and Ji County."

"Heiye attacked Chai Shao, and I led the main force out of Taiyuan to attack Yanmen!"

"Liu Hongji guards the clouds, and Luo Simo guards Dingxiang!"

It looks like it's going to be a big brawl, but multiple battlefields are being fought at the same time, which is a great test of command.

"Five households raise one soldier, and now there are more than 300,000 households in the places that our dynasty actually directly controls, and the total population, including slaves, actually reaches more than 20 million, and the potential of all my Great Qin troops can reach 600,000. Now it is only 400,000 Northern Expedition, barely okay, but it is very risky, it must be interlocked, if there is a mistake in one link, the whole line may collapse, Your Majesty has to think about it. ”

"And it's the end of May, the middle of summer, the weather is hot, and it's not a good time to send troops to fight at this time."

Luo Cheng said, "I don't know that the weather is very hot now, but the enemy will attack me first, and we can only fight." The weather was unfavorable to me, even more unfavorable to the Turks, and equally unfavorable to the Tang army and the Xia army who came from afar. ”

"The stakes are very high in this battle, Your Majesty is cautious."

"Yes, this battle is very important, and if you win, the world will be basically decided. If you lose, there will be no peace in the world. Luo Cheng also sighed, others had already launched an attack, and he Luo Cheng had to show his sword to meet the enemy.
