The meeting lasted until the end of the hour, and Jiang Qian deliberately said a few more polite words when he left:

"My father asked the cadres to greet General Zhao on his behalf, and if there is anything to drive, please ask Zhao Shuai to give instructions."

Zhao Xun smiled slightly and returned the salute:

"Guangxin Gong understands the righteousness, and he understands it."

Of course, Zhao Xun knew in his heart that he knew that the righteousness was a lie, and he couldn't let Guangxingong's men and horses take the lead and send them to death, the so-called "driving place" was nothing more than a great achievement, and the relatively easy battle was to arrange the Guangxin army to fight as much as possible.

Before he could say anything, Zhao Xun said again:

"It's not too early today, and I ask Jiang Shaojun to go back to the camp for a while. Ben Shuai and Wei Xian have not talked for many days, and please leave Wei Xian behind, I don't know what Shaojun wants. ”

"Wei Xianfeng was originally recommended by Zhao Shuai, and it is common for him to reunite with Xiaoxu after a long absence, and General Zhao is light." When the words fell, Jiang Qian and Baili Yan said: "Wei Xianfeng should obey Zhao Shuai's orders, and he must not make a mistake." ”

"The last will obey."

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) bowed down and sent Jiang Qian away, and couldn't help but think: Treating me so harshly in front of Zhao Xun is nothing more than wanting to tell Zhao Xun that he is already Guangxin's general, so as to lay a tenon between himself and Zhao Xun.

As everyone knows, what kind of relationship he had with Zhao Xun back then, how could it be a sentence or two to sow discord. Presumably, this plan was not made by Luo Songting, most of it was Jiang Qian's own opinion, if it was Luo Songting, he would never say such things to his face.

After Jiang Qian left, there were only a few Zhao Xun guards left in the tent. Holding back from the left and right, Zhao Xun's solemn expression finally eased.

"It's great that Mr. Wei can come this time."

"Zhao Shuai is serious, Zhao Shuai has the grace of knowing the next place, how can he bear to abandon it in the next place."

"Hmm." Zhao Xun nodded, and his slightly relaxed face suddenly became serious: "The turbulence of this popular uprising, the sheer scale, and the ferocity of the means are unprecedented in ancient times. It is not easy for this marshal to be in command.

Now the Black Turban Army is twice as large as our army, and its combat power is fierce, and the danger is far greater than that of the Jiangdong Battle of the year. I wonder what Mr. Wei thinks about this battle? ”

"Please forgive Wei Xian for being bold and outspoken, there are 500,000 soldiers in the Black Turban Army in Xianguo alone, has the general ever thought about how many Black Turban troops are fighting in Xu State and Changsun right now?"

Ben Shuai also considered this matter, but I am afraid that there are not many believers, so when the palace discussed politics, Ben Shuai did not talk to King Xian and Pan, for fear of frightening everyone.

According to Ben Shuai's guess, the total number of Black Turban troops is probably no less than 800,000, and the number of people mobilized is at least 3 million. With such a huge amount of manpower, even the former overlord Sun Guo is nothing more than that. And now there are only a few countries that can gather 800,000 soldiers and millions of people.

I am afraid that there are only a handful of believers in this matter in the world, and since Mr. Wei said this, he must agree with Ben Shuai's words. ”

Wei Xian nodded and said:

What Zhao Shuai said is extremely true. But Zhao Shuai can know why the Black Turban Army can gather hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city overnight, and drive straight into Xianguo, and no one can beat it? ”

This is also where Ben Shuai doubts. Thinking that these millions of people are only half of the territory occupied by the Black Turban Army, almost including the old and the young, where do they get their food, drink and Lazar, even if they eat the official warehouse, are they not afraid that they will starve to death after eating the official warehouse? ”

"Zhao Shuai, the countries of Beihai were originally the land of fish and rice, and the cultivation was abandoned due to the locust plague, coupled with the extremely heavy taxes of various countries, the people were not able to make a living, and it was a matter of time before they rebelled, which was one of them.

Second, Pengyuan County of Sun State is the Central Plains Shangqu Yaojin, north to Changsun South to Zhiguo, east to Xianguo and west to Liang State, so Pengyuan County official warehouse is extremely rich, although I don't know how many official stores of grain in Pengyuan County, but Pengyuan County, Wanchuan County, and Chunan County have been devastated by locusts, even if the Black Turban Army has the intention to operate agriculture and be self-sufficient, there is no such possibility now.

And the rebellion has already been created, and it is impossible to cultivate the land to obtain grain and grass, so it can only devote all its manpower to the war, and with the grain and grass of Pengyuan County, it quickly expands the soldiers and plunders the countries.

This time, Muyang Cang was robbed of 4 million stone grains and grass, which was almost half a year for the Xian army at its peak, enough to support 500,000 Black Turban Army to capture the capital and survive until next year, plus the Black Turban Army used the so-called real gold to continuously obtain supplies from outside.

The land in the eastern part of the capital county is vast and fertile, and most of the locust plagues last year were very small, and once they were occupied by the Black Turban Army, they became the foundation of the Black Turban Army. If the war drags on until next spring to resume ploughing and summer harvest, the war situation will be extremely unfavorable to Xianguo.

Third, the Black Turban Army ruled the army with evil magic, held itself with the mandate of heaven, and called those who bestowed the favor of the monarch's father, after death, they could ascend to the kingdom of heaven to enjoy glory and sit on their wives and concubines, so as to bewitch the chaotic people to kill the enemy bravely. In addition, after the rebellion, the food and food were full, and most of the prostitutes and slaves were the wives and daughters of the powerful and noble, and the anger and hatred of the rebellious people could be vented, and the Black Turban Army was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, in the next view, the way of the Black Turban Army cannot last, and the stakes in this battle lie in whether it can be held, as long as it can drag on for two years, three years, or even five or six years, the Black Turban Rebellion will be settled sooner or later. ”

"Mr. Wei just said that if it is delayed until next year, the Black Turban Army will become a big disaster, why can it be flattened for three or five years?"

"Dare to ask Zhao Shuai, is the Black Turban Army human?"

"Wan Ne boasted that the gods descended to earth, but Ben Shuai did not see it, nor could he make any judgments. Whether there is a god in this world, Ben Shuai can't say. But for ordinary people, they are human after all. ”

In this case, he boasted that he was a god or a human being, but his subordinates, from the generals to the soldiers, were all human beings, and if they were human beings, they would have desires, and if they were human beings, they would need to govern. The root of the popular uprising lies in the overwhelming majority of the poor people who are in power and honorable. And the root of the Black Turban Army's uprising is also the shackles of the powerful and noble relatives oppressing the people.

Now that the Black Turban Army has become powerful, there will be millions of people in the territory under its jurisdiction in the future, how will the Black Turban Army govern the people under their rule? There is no tax or rent, and they have to do what the powerful and noble relatives have done, otherwise how can they raise an army and maintain the existing territory, and it is difficult to really fall from the sky.

Zhao Shuaigui is a doctor, when he knows that the people's livelihood is extremely difficult during the war, and the Black Turban Army was born in the war, how can he have time to recuperate and appease the people's livelihood. As long as the war continues, even if the Black Turban Army resumes farming and obtains grain and grass, it will never be busy between wars.

What's more, the Black Turban Army has offended the eldest grandson, Sun Guo, Zhiguo, and Xianguo this time, and even Xu Guo has the image of the Black Turban Army uprising, so that all countries have been cut off a piece of land by the Black Turban Army, which country can swallow this breath. ”

The Black Turban Army is not a god descending from heaven, they are human beings, and cults are also human beings, and it is inevitable for people to satisfy their desire for survival, and at the same time, they also have to face the political fate that cannot be avoided after the establishment of the power class.

There is never absolute fairness in this world, as long as there are more than two people, there must be a class, and the Black Turban Army is no exception.

At present, the Black Turban Army has become a trend, and it is impossible to extinguish it in a short period of time. But such a huge beast has to govern millions of people in its jurisdiction, and the Black Turbans, who are always at war, still have to collect taxes and rents to keep this huge machine running, repeating what they have overthrown in the past.

After a long time, various interest groups and power strata will emerge on their own, and their emergence will still not be able to escape the fate of the existing reality, and it is only a new class overthrowing the old class, and it will not be able to fundamentally change the existing pattern.

"Therefore, Zhao Shuai, I think that the key to this battle is to preserve the strength of the Xian army, not to defeat it in a decisive battle, and our army will have no chance of winning in a frontal battle."

"Mr. Wei's opinion is already understood, but if all the west of the Yongxing River is occupied by the Black Turban Army, how can Ben Shuai explain to King Xian and the people of the world."

"Zhao Shuai, now is not the time to fight for a while, how to preserve the strength and keep the tomb is Zhao Shuai's primary military affairs, if you are determined to fight a decisive battle with the Black Turban Army, I am afraid that the Black Turban Army will fall into the hands of the Black Turban Army.

He even suspected that there must be a master in the Black Turban Army, and this war was related to the long-term survival of the Black Turban Army. If the Black Turban Army wins, the Xian Kingdom will perish, and the Central Plains will be owned by the Black Turban Army sooner or later. If the Black Turban Army is defeated, even if it is a draw, it will seriously delay the momentum of the Black Turban Army, making it difficult to replenish and repair. As long as the confrontation lasts for a few years, the Black Turban Army is exhausted, and it is not too late to regain the lost ground. ”

With the strength of the Xian army, there is no chance of defeating the Black Turban Army, and the defense can be fought.

What the Black Turban Army wants is to compete for living space and arable land, exchanging time for space, and Bailiyan intends to exchange space for time and get rid of the negative assets of Xianguo.

At present, the land occupied by the Black Turban Army is without exception the place where the locust plague was infested last year, and the people's livelihood is like fire and water, and the locust plague has risen again this year, and it will even continue until next year, as long as the Black Turban Army is blocked west of the Yongxing River, even if it is given up to Xianxi, Qiunan, and Dujun Xijun, and this burden is thrown off to the Black Turban Army.

After all, the essence of the Black Turban Army is just a rabble organized by a cult, and heresy is a fallacy that cannot stand the test of time; when internal interest groups rise, who will care about the divine mandate of heaven, but all individuals and things that block interests can be trampled on and torn up at will.

Now Zhao Xun is no longer the governor of the year, and now Zhao Xun is a national fortune, how to choose is related to the survival of Xianguo and his first reputation. Bailiyan's strategy is to abandon the two counties of Xianxi and Qiunan, as well as half of the capital counties, and use space to buy more time.

But if he wants to give up almost one-third of the existing territory of Xianguo, can he, Zhao Xun, agree? Can King Xian agree.

Leaving the Chinese army late at night and returning to the camp of the Guangxin Army, many generals still showed no signs of sleeping. The army has just arrived on the bank of the Yongxing River, and the Black Turban Army has not yet seen a human figure, and all kinds of rumors about the magic miracles of the Black Turban Army have been rampant.

Sikong Nan also did not sleep, as the vanguard deputy general, Sikong Nan never saw Baili Yan return to the camp, and he always felt uneasy in his heart.

"Lord Wei, where have you been, why did you return to the camp so late?"

Bai Liyan's expression was calm, and he said:

"Zhao Shuai and I have a life-and-death relationship, he left me in the tent to talk and ask some military questions."

"Yes, I heard that Lord Yu was brave back then, and even Zhao Shuai admired it. I don't know if you have heard that Lu Ji's army was defeated by the black turban army's demon magic. ”

Bai Liyan nodded, and Sikong Nan's eyes faintly flashed with fear.

"I have heard Zhao Shuai talk about this, but there are some things in this world that must not be fully believed, you and I, as soldiers, even if we die, we must not be stopped by fear, and we must die vigorously, even if the enemy is a demon beast."

"Soldiers?!"

Sikong Nan was surprised by the word "soldier". At present, there is no deeper understanding of serving as a soldier to eat food and work for the country, and even many soldiers who eat food and serve as soldiers do not know that being a soldier is to protect their families and defend the country, while generals only know how to kill the enemy and accumulate merits, and they will be rewarded in the future, and they only stay in the agricultural army driven by money and interests.
