"Report ~~ Qiyu Young Master, a report came from Cao in front of him, saying that the Shu thieves drove out of the brigade in Jiexiu County, and it was estimated at the beginning that there were no less than 60,000 troops out of the city. The flag of the leader is the puppet dynasty of the Great Sima Pass. ”

"Got it, probe again!"

"Whoa!"

On Sheepshead Mountain, in the camp of the Jin army. After receiving the information from the scouts that Guan Yi had left the city, Du Yu sounded the drum of the gathering generals.

Under Du Pre, there have been five major generals since he was in Chang'an: Zhou Zhi, Fan Xian, Yin Lin, Du Gui, and Zhou Qi. The most courageous Zhou Zhi unfortunately died in Yixian County, and the remaining four people, although there is no more fierce general like Zhou Zhi who can take charge alone, are all old in the army and proficient in battle formations. In addition, he has been under Du Pre for many years, and can carry out Du Pre's orders well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the state of the war. After Liu Yuanhai raised the flag, Guan Zifeng had to send troops from Jiexiu, and the fighter plane we had been waiting for finally arrived! ”

It can be said that like the Battle of Changping in the past, the Jin State, which could not fully mobilize its national strength, was just like the Zhao State in the past, and the war had not yet made decisive progress, and the logistics could not keep up.

The Jin State began to mobilize after the autumn harvest last year, and now more than a year has passed, and the spring ploughing and autumn harvest in 272 AD have been seriously delayed. Moreover, compared with Ji Han, due to the strength of the family and the corruption of the official style, after a large number of yeoman farmers were forced to join the army, their family members who stayed at home were inevitably oppressed and annexed by various families. In the short term, there are not many such cases. But as long as it lasts a little longer, the Jin yeoman farming families who have lost their strong labor at home will go bankrupt and be annexed in large numbers.

In Pei Xiu's private letter to Du Pre, it was clearly stated that according to Shangshutai's statistics, according to the statistics in October this year, the number of mouths controlled by the state in the eight states of Kanto has disappeared by 10,000. And it's still the first year, and if the war drags on until the second year, I'm afraid 100,000 people will be gone. If it drags on to the third year, 300,000 mouths will be swallowed up by families everywhere.

Moreover, Pei Xiu also said that at present, there are no less than 10 million stones of grain on paper in the warehouses of Luoyang, Xuchang and other places. But now the northern front is tight, and the southern front is ready to retreat to Soochow. More than 100,000 troops are stationed on the side of Bingzhou, and the grain and grass that the state transports to Bingzhou every month is considered the loss of the road, which is almost 500,000 a month.

The monthly consumption of 500,000 stones is nothing for the Jin Kingdom, which has tens of millions of stones in storage. But these tens of millions of stone grain are only data on paper. As the war unfolded, the granaries of the Henan prefectures of the Jin Kingdom were suffering from fires all day and night. Among them, I am afraid that there is no one that was really ignited by Ji Han's Si Wencao!

There are so many granaries, there is no fire in the morning and no fire in the evening, and when it comes to the front line when a large amount of grain needs to be transported, there are frequent fires, what is the reason, who TM still doesn't know?

Therefore, although Pei Xiu's letter did not have any words urging Du Yu to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible to defeat Guan Yi, there was one meaning in the words: look for fighters and fight a decisive battle as soon as possible! The country can still hold on now, but if it continues in such a stalemate, the first to fall down must be Dajin!

For a patriarch of a big family like Pei Xiu, although he is extremely talented, he can see many problems clearly. But in Du Yu's view, Wen Xi Pei's family has been high for a long time, and he lacks understanding of the grassroots. In fact, there are many more terrifying questions that Pei Xiu does not see.

If nothing else, let's talk about the military heart. Du Wuku is a bit of a soldier. It is precisely because of this that he knows that the current military spirit is actually unstable.

If you think about it carefully, it's not wrong: Oh, we are fighting life and death on the front line, and you officials and masters are bullying our wives and children in the rear, who doesn't have any ideas in your heart? How do we know, you ask? Hi! Some time ago, wasn't "The White-Haired Girl" staged everywhere? Even if you haven't seen it, your relatives have seen it, right? The neighbors have seen it, right? Didn't you hear them tell you the general plot?

Therefore, Du Yu has actually been working hard to find fighters, yes, the distance of the Han army's grain route is too long, and it is really difficult to transport. But whoever made the family suppress the family very well since the founding of the country, and cut off a batch before sending troops. What about worry-free domestic worries? We're different! If the time drags on, and the army of more than 100,000 collapses without fighting, won't I, Du Yuankai, be regarded as a thousand-year-old joke in the history books in the future?

Some time ago, Guan Zifeng's more than 100,000 hedgehogs gathered in Jiexiu, and there was no way to fight. Now that the enemy has divided his forces, such a fighter must be seized!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Liu Yuanhai has raised troops in Xihe, Guan Zifeng will definitely send a large army to suppress it in order to maintain the prestige of the so-called Han and ensure the safety of the grain route. It is now preliminarily estimated that the enemy's defenders at Jiexiu are less than 60,000. Although the enemy army has cement as a weapon for building cities, you and I all know that in Jiexiu County, not to mention the low city walls, the key is that the foundation is unstable. Therefore, the meaning of this official, our army is dispatched with the troops of the King of Taiyuan and the King of Wang, and the troops of the king of Taiyuan will attack Jiexiu County with all their might! ”

"Whoa! Obey the young master's orders! ”

"Good, you guys go down and prepare your troops and horses, time is pressing, we must be able to send troops tomorrow. Well, General Fan, what do you have to say? ”

"Young Master, the fighter plane appears, and the whole army will have no objection at the end of the attack. It's just that the last general wants to know, how much time can Liu Yuanhai buy us? If this captive chieftain was destroyed by Guan Zifeng as soon as he raised the banner, and then the Shu thief returned to the division......"

"Hehehe, Liu Yuanhai, I know it very well. This man is both civil and military, and has outstanding strategies, and once he raises troops, he will leave Pingzhou immediately. will never be stupid and wait for Guan Zifeng to come to the door. Therefore, according to my calculations, Liu Yuanhai can buy us at least three months. ”

"March...... Well, that should be enough. In this way, there will be no objection to the end. ”

"Good, then hurry down and reorganize the troops. Today is December 4th, and Guan Zifeng has already set off yesterday. If the battle is full, our army will have a maximum of 88 days if it leaves tomorrow, so everything must be completed as soon as possible. I have sent an envoy to ask the king of Taiyuan and the king's envoy to lead an army to join us at the foot of Jiexiu on December 7. ”

"Whoa! The last general will be ordered! ”

……

On the other side, Xihe County, Pingzhou County.

This place has been entrenched by the Huns for a long time, and there are really few Han people on the right side inside and outside the city. After Liu Yuan raised the flag, all the Han people who were originally few ran away. Yes, there are only all kinds of bald-haired, left-handed Huns.

"Yuan'er, this flag has been erected, but our test has also come."

"Yes, Father. Originally, with his son's original intention, he wanted to show favor to the Great Sima of the Han State, and if the things given by the Great Sima were good enough, it was not impossible to help the Han State attack the Jin State. It's a pity ......"

"Now that the Jin State has sent information from Cao, saying that the Great Sima of the Han State and the Tiefu mongrel have dispatched more than 60,000 troops to attack us, how to deal with it, have you thought about it?"

"Father, we Huns have been sleeping for too long, and we have forgotten the glory of our ancestors for a long time. In the past, when the Han Dynasty was not very strong, not to mention him, that is, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, my Great Huns suffered repeated setbacks, didn't they also deal with the Han Dynasty on the grassland for nearly a hundred years? If it weren't for our internal division, we might still be galloping on the grassland today. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Father, we Huns have long since recovered. This is something that the child can see very clearly in Luoyang. It's just that the days of peace have been so long that we have forgotten how we used to deal with the powerful Han Dynasty. We are a people on horseback, and of course we have to fight on horseback. This Pingzhou county, Guan Da Sima wants, I give it to him. I have given the order for the whole army to prepare and go to Meiji. ”

"Go to Miji?"

"Yes, that's where Shan Yuting used to be. When we go there, Liu Meng's mongrel will definitely go crazy, and he will definitely urge Guan Da Sima to move forward as soon as possible, and at that time, the child will let Da Sima understand that we Huns and the Huns, who are more worthy of being won over by the Han! ”
