History was changed by the instigation of the wings of the little butterfly.

In fact, in the original history, Yu Luzhi was killed a few years later, and the Helan clan gave birth to three sons Tuoba Qu and four sons Tuoba Gu, all of whom were saved from hiding in the Helan tribe and finally made a comeback. However, on this timeline, those two boys naturally turned into clouds of smoke, and Pei Cai couldn't remember it in such detail.

He originally asked about Yu Lu's heir, because he wanted to test that there were other characters within Tuoba who had the qualifications of heirs, and who had the skills to compete with the Qi family and He Wei, and they might be available in the future. After all, Tuoba Xianbei dominates the grassland desert, and its momentum is very strong, although it is currently an ally, after the unification of the Central Plains in the future, it may be transformed into an external threat, so it is necessary to take precautions. If you can support other forces and split their tribes, perhaps it will be much easier to solve the Mobei problem in the future.

I wanted to start with the question of whether Yu Lu still had children, and gradually asked about other branches in the ministry, because in Pei Cai's mind, the Qi family would most likely kill all of Yu Lu's sons, so this question was meaningless, just throwing stones to ask for directions. Who would have thought of the unexpected joy that they had heard of the Acacia and Shi Yiqian.

There was an idea at the moment, and after Tuoba resigned, he instructed Pei Xiong: "If I send you to Helan to meet Huai and Shiyiqian, are you willing to go?" ”

Pei Xiong was not stupid, and immediately understood Pei Gai's intentions, so he asked: "The lord wants to raise the son of Yu Lu, so that he can restrain the mother and son of the Qi family in the future, so as not to cause trouble for China, which is indeed a clever trick." But since it is the order of the lord, it is best to send a messenger to Helan Mountain, the villain is just a slave, how can he take on this heavy responsibility? ”

Pei Gai replied: "I will send my troops to accompany me, and I will use your token to make the trust of the Helan Department." However, if the envoy is sent seriously, it is inevitable that the news will leak, and I am even more afraid of delaying - your uncle has remembered this matter, but when he returns to Shengle, do you think that he will report to the Qi family and go to the Helan Ministry to search for and kill the second son? ”

Pei Xiong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Uncle did do this kind of thing. ”

Pei should be right, I'm afraid that before he leaves Chang'an, he will send his subordinates to gallop back to Shengle, then once we move slowly, it is likely that we will be one step worse - "You and more than a dozen people from my tribe are all riding fast horses, and you are in the north, and you must be familiar with the surrounding geography and Helan Department, so you may be able to take the first step......"

As for whether the Helan Ministry agreed to hand over the people, Pei Gai was not worried. As far as the situation is concerned, Helan Yi pinched these two boys as hot potatoes, and she couldn't wait to throw them out quickly; As for family affection, if he does not obey the order of Pei Dasima of my Jin Dynasty, it is estimated that the Qi family will send someone to go in the future, and he will not hand it over, and the lives of the two sons can be preserved for me to use in the future.

After explaining to Pei Xiong, Pei Cai urgently summoned Pei Wei and Tao Kan to the pivotal department to discuss the issue of dealing with Shihu in the state.

Guo Mo asked Yang Qing to summarize the opinions of the cardinal department and play them in detail to the metropolitan governor - Yang Qing has already married Mao'er, and he has been worshiped by General Yangwei, and he has been in the limelight in the three armies of Da Sima for a while, Guo Sidao deliberately put him in front, and also had the intention of flattering Pei Gai.

The reason why I went to the pivot instead of discussing it in the Great Sima Mansion was because the most delicate sand table in Chang'an City was stored in the pivot, and it was inconvenient to carry it. This sand table covers a wide range, east to the sea, west to Qinzhou, north to You, and, south to Jiang, Hunan - as for Liang, Jiao, Guangzhou, Ning and other prefectures, it is really remote, the information is incomplete, and it is still being gradually improved.

The whole sand table is spread out, the length and width are more than three zhang, and the general room still can't put it. Fortunately, Pei should have already planned, and at the beginning of the production, he ordered the sand table to be divided into sixteen pieces, and under normal circumstances, one or two pieces can be moved out alone, and it is not necessary to put the whole yard on the whole yard - to be honest, if it is placed, people on the outside may not be able to see clearly the heartland of Yan and Yu in the middle of the world.

Therefore, this time the matter of merging states, especially the counties of Xihe and Taiyuan in the west, can just put a sand table. Yang Qing held a long staff in his hand, pointed to the sand table, and explained to Pei Qi and the others:

"Before Tuoba went south, he was frustrated by thieves south of Jiuyuan, and it is rumored that Shihu captured tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of horses......

"Originally, it was planned that after the autumn harvest, the army would go out in two ways and kill Taiyuan and Shangdang, but Shi Hu was powerful, or he would take the initiative to go south to attack Pingyang before the autumn harvest - even if he could not win, he could also ravage my territory, so that I could not harvest safely.

"Fortunately, Bingzhou is mountainous, and the only road in the north and south is flat, especially at the junction of Xihe and Pingyang, there are Huoshan remnants blocking the road, so the main force can only take this road, and it is impossible to do a large-scale detour. And I shall build fortifications on the top of the mountain in the other place, so that the thieves may not be able to go down easily. ”

"However, Shihu's department was originally no less than 20,000, and if he had Xianbei horses and sheep, he might be able to increase the number of soldiers on the spot to 30,000 or 40,000. If the upper party branch Qu Liuliu leads his troops to join again, the enemy is expected to be lenient, and there can be 50,000 or 60,000 people. My Pingyang garrison is less than 10,000, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist ......"

Pei Gai pressed the edge of the sand table with both hands, while paying attention to the situation of the mountains and rivers, he pondered carefully, and when he heard this, he suddenly spoke, interrupting Yang Qing's words: "At that time, what kind of movement will there be in Shile, Hebei?" ”

Yang Qing and Guo Mo glanced at each other, Guo Sidao bowed his head to encouragement, and Yang Qing continued to report: "At the end of the general's research, the thief who defended in the west and attacked in the east in the last year, and Shi Hu won this year, it is likely to do the opposite, and change it to defend in the east and attack in the west." ”

Then the long staff in his hand shook and pointed out of the sand table: "Shi Le may transfer some soldiers and horses to join the Shangdang, replace the six divisions of Zhiqu to aid Taiyuan, and on the river, take the defensive." It's just that the governor of the city confronted the thieves in Hanoi last year, and the grain and straw were greatly consumed, and the king waited for the report that the treasury of Xiangguo was empty, and it was impossible to respond to the war on the Western Front on a large scale.

"The slaves will entrust Shi Hu with the affairs of the west, in a vain attempt to break through the heavy hurdles in one fell swoop and re-enter Pingyang, so as to mobilize our army and consume our supplies. Even if it can't win, it can also make my soldiers and horses in Guanzhong have no time to look east. As for the eastern front, both the Duan clan was broken, and the Youzhou soldiers could be adjusted to go south to protect Xiangguo, and a part of the Hebei troops, or go straight to Leling, in order to attack General Shao. Although Cao Wei bowed his head and the entire territory of Qingzhou was recovered, after all, it was separated by a big river, and I am afraid that it would be difficult for General Su and others to come to the rescue with all their might, so the Chinese army would definitely go east to save the tired times.

In this way, the two divisions of the king and the division are thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult to coordinate with each other. And tired of the distance from Xiangguo, closer than Luoyang, and the situation of last year is just the opposite, but our army is far away to resist the enemy, then the enemy consumes food for one minute, and I have to ...... two minutes"

Pei Gai nodded and added: "The same is true of the merger of states, I am afraid that I will have to transport grain from Hedong and even Guannai to support the war of merging states, and the losses will be huge...... What are the countermeasures? ”

Yang Qing pointed to several locations in Pingyang and Hedong counties with a long stick, and reported: "The last general thinks that the grain of Pingyang counties should be gathered in Pingyang first; The grain of the counties in Hedong gathers in Wenxi; If it is necessary to win grain in Guanzhong, it will be transported to Anyi in advance to prepare for the big war. Our three armies should also go out a little forward, that is, in the name of training, they will enter Xiayang and Liangshan first, and then they can cross to Pingyang at any time through Caisangjin......"

Tao Kan frowned and asked: "Since you want to send your troops out for reinforcements, why don't you cross from Weiwei to the east of the river and go north to Pingyang, but to the north of Feng Yi?" There are many mountains there, and the road is difficult to travel, even if you cross Caisangjin, there are many mountain roads within more than 100 miles, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to walk......"

Yang Qing looked at Guo Mo, and Guo Sidao explained: "If you wade to the east of the river in advance, you are afraid that it will only be detected by the thieves, and if you stop at the west of the river, it will not be easy for the enemy to detect." However, we still have some considerations, that is, the reinforcements can wade from Xiayang, and they can go straight down to the plain, bordering the mountains and going north, and the distance is much easier. I don't know how many reinforcements the governor is willing to send in the end, if it exceeds 20,000, I am afraid that Xiayang Yiyi will not be able to absorb it, and it will be forced to disperse to Liangshan, so it is better to gather together to cross Sangjin.

"In addition, if Shihu comes in a big way, but our army kills from the mountains, it may be able to promote the effect of surprise, and even form a situation of encirclement......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Yang Qing: "General Yang thinks that the battle of Bingzhou is useless to defend in vain, and if you can break the thieves in advance, you may be able to turn into an offensive and go straight to Jinyang......"

To put it bluntly, let's fight a round of defensive battles first, and then wait until after the autumn harvest and the food is guaranteed, and then we will continue to march two ways to attack and annex the state!

"And the state is narrow on the flat, there are many mountains, and the frontal resistance to the enemy must be from the flat, only climbing the mountains and crossing the mountains can build miraculous feats! It's just that our army may not be good at mountain warfare, so it must be trained in Liangshan and other places first. ”

Tao Kan twisted his beard and couldn't help smiling: "The young man has a big appetite, and he is not enough to defend it, and he still wants to go forward to attack the enemy - it is really sharp." ”

Pei should tilt his head and ask him, "Doesn't Tao Jun approve of taking the opportunity to collect and merge the state?" ”

Tao Kan shook his head and said: "If you can successfully defeat Shi Hu and kill and injure the enemy on the battlefield, you can turn from defense to attack, everything depends on the development of the war - there is nothing wrong with the cardinal planning in advance." ”

Pei Gai nodded, turned his gaze to the sand table again, and asked slowly: "If Shi Hu really comes to attack in the autumn harvest, how many soldiers can be needed for a month in Guanzhong and the second county?" ”

Pei Wei said: "You Ziyuan also knows that the war is imminent, and he will lose 10,000 Hugu into Chang'an, and in addition, he will calculate the inventory of each county and government, if he moves troops before the autumn harvest, he will not be able to supply 20,000 regular soldiers at most." After a pause, he added: "This also calculates the loss along the grain transport; And these 20,000 regular soldiers, including the defenders of Binh Duong. ”

Pei Gai couldn't help frowning and said: "In this way, I can only send another 10,000 troops to Xiayang to standby, and reinforce Pingyang at any time......" The special Yu Lu is really a waste of dim sum, he gave more than 100,000 cattle and sheep to Shi Hu in vain, he is full, I am still hungry here!

After thinking about it for a while, he turned his head and said to Pei Wei: "But I can order the wanderer to borrow some grain from Liangzhou merchants...... You can also borrow grain from Hanzhong Zhou Shida and promise to return it after the autumn harvest. ”

Pei Wei nodded, and then asked: "I heard that Tuoba's envoy has arrived in Chang'an, but did he come to make an appointment to attack and annex the state this autumn?" Can you ask Tuoba to move troops in advance? ”

Pei Cai pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "Tuoba can't be trusted!" ”

Immediately, he roughly introduced the information provided by Tuoba to everyone present, and then explained: "Since tens of thousands of cattle and sheep have been damaged, Tuoba must suffer from famine this winter, so he will definitely go south in autumn to plunder Xinxing and Taiyuan." Moreover, the Qi clan and He Weifang were in power, and they also urgently needed a victory to establish their prestige.

"It's just that Yu Lu lost his teacher before, and he was defeated too badly, and he was so powerful that most of them would come out in multiple ways, purely for the sake of looting, and they didn't dare to directly attack the front of the army. They wanted to use us to contain the main force of the army first, so as to facilitate its southward movement, so they sent envoys to Chang'an to make an appointment. If I am attacked by a stone tiger, I will not be able to say that I will respond first; If I have defeated Shihu and headed north to Taiyuan, I have no hope of joining ......"

To put it bluntly, this autumn Tuoba Xianbei only has the power to plunder, and has no intention of facing the enemy head-on, whether we are defending or attacking, this ally is basically not counted on - forget Tuoba.

Pei Wei couldn't help but sigh softly, and said in a low voice, "Yu Lu really should ...... Damned! ”

I heard Pei Gai ask Guo Mo again: "Pingyang and Hedong counties, what is the total number of grains?" If I send ten thousand troops to help the battle in Pingyang, does Chang'an still need to send grain to Anyi? ”

Guo Mo turned around and took out a roll of paper from the case, presented it to Pei Gai with both hands, and said: "The number of grain stored in the two counties, we have already asked the Changshi Mansion for information...... "In fact, Changshi is only a separate position, and there is no official office, let alone the qualification to open a mansion - except for the "Western Regions Changshi Mansion" - but now Chang'an Xingtai has twelve departments, which are subordinate to Changshi and Sima, so Pei Wei and Tao Kan alone can't manage it at all, so they have to recruit subordinates, and there are more people, so they naturally need to have a special office space, so internally, there is a "mansion." "Name.

Guo Mo said that we have obtained detailed figures from the Changshi Mansion, and after repeated calculations, we have counted a few numbers according to the number of reinforcements - "Metropolitan Governor, please see." ”

Pei Gai took the paper, unfolded it and took a look, and sure enough, it clearly marked the number of grain stored in each county in the two counties, as well as the possible loss of grain transported to Pingyang and Wenxi, and then transported from Pingyang and Wenxi to Yong'an and Jiexiu...... In the end, a few figures were obtained: if Guanzhong transferred 5,000 troops to help, there would be no need to send more food; If 10,000 troops are sent to help, 13,000 Hugu must be transported to Anyi first; If 15,000 troops are transferred to help, 28,000 Hu valleys must be transported first......

The more grain is transported, the more labor is needed, and the loss rate will increase when it is eaten on the way.

Pei Caixin said that this is right, the staff should deal more with numbers and make the grain account as detailed as possible - this is one of the main reasons why he established the cardinal department. In the past, there was no special agency responsible for counting the amount of labor, grain and grass, and it was only a few staff officers who made a general accounting, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions. Today's cardinal, with Guo Mo as Peng and Yang Qing as the deputy, has nearly 100 subordinate officials at all levels, both scholars and martial artists, who can count and use soldiers, work together, and make plans that are naturally different from before.

I heard Yang Qing interject and say: "There is another strategy for the general, the grain transportation in the rear can be completed by the relay of the soldiers of each county on the way, and the use of tunmin and even household as little as possible can avoid delaying agricultural work and reduce the loss." ”

If you directly transport grain from Guanzhong to Anyi, and come back empty-handed, you can't help but let people bring enough rations for the return trip, right? And if the relay is carried in sections and returned to the city after the handover, the journey is shorter, and the rations need to be paid much less.

Pei Cai thought about it for a while, and said: "If it is transported by the same batch of people from beginning to end, it is convenient to manage; If it is divided into multiple paragraphs, it will be difficult to calculate...... "Attention Yang Qing: "Since Qing has this discussion, can he dare to take full responsibility?" ”
