"Food, not enough food! Send troops, and you can't beat other people's cities! What is the value of such an ally? My Xiangyang is really fed to the dogs! ”

Looking at the emperor, who was already visibly furious, and did not choose to speak. The following important ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

After a while, it was Sima You, the king of Qi, who stood up: "Brother Huang, the country is in trouble, I have seen it." But the more this is the case, the more insistent it is. At this time, we should continue to support the general and the young master in the confrontation with the enemy. ”

"Well, I understand what you're saying. But you don't understand what I'm saying. ”

"The ministers are stupid, please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts."

"I am the emperor, but a country, just one emperor can govern and maintain? Princes, officials, families, people, and armies, all these together are a country.

The war dragged on for a long time, the officials were panicked, the families were separated, the people were depressed, and their morale was low. General Che Cai, you Guan Jin Cao, do you know how many families in Youzhou and Pingzhou have sent representatives to Chang'an to bow to Liu Chen? Shang Shuling, you are in charge of civil affairs, do you know how many people, as people's husbands, died on the way to transport military rations? King Ruyin, you are also considered to have led the army to fight, a force of more than 100,000 people has been stationed in one place for a long time, and you can't advance or retreat, and you have to wait for you every day. How can this morale be maintained? ”

Looking at the silent ministers, Sima Yan took a slow breath: "The founding time of the Great Jin Dynasty is too short, and it has been less than ten years so far. If you face a foreign enemy, you will not be able to make a decision for a long time, or it will not be long before the country itself will fall apart.

Just now I dreamed of Emperor Xuan, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wen in the dormitory, but they didn't say anything to me, but the reproach and disdain in their eyes couldn't be clearer...... I have made up my mind, rather than sit back and die, it is better to fight! ”

This, some time ago, we asked for a decisive battle with the other side in the state, didn't you press the Chinese army and not let it go? Now that the battle situation is at a stalemate, whoever strikes first will definitely suffer, and you are in a hurry to fight a decisive battle again? Also, at the beginning of the war last year, the Kanto families either supported the country or remained neutral in good faith. And now a few of the families have lost their sincerity to Ji Han, and most of them remain absolutely neutral - the so-called absolute neutrality means that the two do not help each other, and take this opportunity to wantonly embezzle the yeoman farmers!

Therefore, if this continues, even if Wu State keeps importing grain, the country will be unsustainable.

Let's fight a decisive battle! Die early and be born early, besides, what if you win?

……

The time came on the first day of January in the year 274.

Jizhou, Julu County, Ren County.

"Congratulations."

"Rejoice and rejoice."

Although everyone is on the front line at this time, after all, it is the arrival of the new year, so there are still necessary greetings.

has been stationed in Ren County for more than half a year, and Chen Qian has also done a lot of things here.

First of all, the city defense of Ren County was strengthened, and tens of thousands of people in the vicinity were mobilized to build an arc-shaped low wall in the east-west direction with Ren County as the center, which was more than ten miles long: there was not only one low wall, but several low walls with very short intervals, in short, this was to hinder Ji Han's powerful cavalry troops.

Second, it is to step up the training of new recruits in the 120,000-strong army (up to 70,000, of which 10,000 are temporary conscripts) and strengthen the run-in between various units.

There is also the constant search for money and food from the rear: the army has been stationed on the land of the country for a long time, and the hometowns of many soldiers (such as some Jizhou soldiers) have been captured by Ji Han, and this morale must be maintained, and the money and food of the imperial court must be enough.

"The subordinates and others pay a greeting to the general, and I would like to extend New Year's greetings."

"All the kings have fun."

After the greeting to the superiors and subordinates, everyone quickly entered the daily routine mode.

"At last night's night banquet, all the armies got enough food, right?"

"Please rest assured that the soldiers will have a sheep for every 100 people, and the soldiers and civilians will have a sheep for every 200 people, and all of them will be distributed in place. Those who were on duty yesterday also had enough mutton in this morning's morning meal. ”

"Good, for the sake of these more than 1,000 sheep, the old man wrote to Shang Shuling two months in advance to ask for the rear to prepare."

"The general is sympathetic to the soldiers, and we are blessed."

"Hahaha, there's no need to say more. Xuanwu, how much is the food and grass of our army now? ”

"This morning, my subordinates counted again, two grain depots in the city and four grain depots outside the city, with a total of 500,000 stone of grain. Enough for two months of military horses. ”

"Well, what about the armor battle? How much of the new stick that was supposed to be made in the rear is now in stock? ”

"At present, there are five thousand, and the king of Ruyin said that the rear is stepping up to catch up. Ten years later, when another 5,000 were delivered. ”

"Hate less! The report sent by Gou Dao to the imperial court before he was killed, as well as the intelligence of Jin Cao Cao, all showed that the Han army had a new type of armor. Its defense has been significantly enhanced. A simple spear or saber is extremely difficult to break through armor. Without this kind of blunt weapon, our cavalry and spearmen would have suffered a lot of losses when they encountered the enemy. ”

Spear and shield are always constantly drawing inspiration from each other and constantly upgrading. The new style of stick that Chen Qian mentioned actually has the prototype of the mace of later generations: the mace itself is a blunt weapon born because the opponent's armor is too good and its own sharp weapons cannot effectively break the armor. Now, because of the early appearance of the plate armor, Chen Qian was naturally forced to think about how to deal with it.

It has to be said that smart people are always able to think of a piece in the end: unable to break the armor? Then I'll blow your guts to pieces.

"General, King Ruyin said that he had urged the battalion to make it with all its might, but the arsenal had been too short before, not to mention, and many weapons had decayed. In order to create other weapons, it is true that there is not much manpower to craft the new stick. ”

"Hey, traitors have misled the country!" In the end, he is old, and he is no longer afraid of anything, so at this time, Chen Qian doesn't care that Sima Yan still left Yang Jun's younger brother Yang Ju in the center as a spare tire, and the Yang family still has the possibility of a comeback, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "But it doesn't matter, we are already very slow to make simple iron rods, and the new armor of the Han army will only be slower to make." Now we still have time. ”

"What the general said is very true."

Moreover, in the general's opinion, the Han army's new armor has a whole chest and abdomen wrapped in a whole piece of iron. Hehe, it's just that such armor is worn on weekdays, and if you dare to wear it in the summer dogs, I'm afraid that if you don't need us to fight, the other party will fall down by itself. Therefore, we now continue to hold on, waiting for Luoyang's military support on the one hand, and waiting for a better decisive battle on the other......"

"Report ~~ General, ladies and gentlemen, there is a yellow gate in Luoyang, saying that it has brought His Majesty's will."

“…… Yes? Hey, everyone, go out with Ben to receive orders. ”

……

"Shu thieves are rampant and invade for no reason. The state did not react in time, causing it to jump off the beam for a while...... Now all the armies of our country are here, and all the generals are gathered. Well-armed, morale is like a rainbow. Fight the thief with this and be invincible! Ordered the general Qian, lead the army to attack the thieves, and be sure to return the victory! ”
