In fact, Hao Meng is just in the name of praying for his son, and he needs to stop for a while.

It is advisable to chase after the poor with bravery, why doesn't Hao Meng know this?

The problem is that Hao Meng's current plate is too big, and he has to stop and rectify.

It takes a lot of energy to expand the territory from the original four prefectures to the current Kyushu, clean up household registration, rectify localities, assess officials, restore people's livelihood, etc.

Although most of this work is the business of civilian officials, the generals can continue to maintain an offensive posture.

However, the local guerrillas scattered and roared in the mountains and forests, as well as the monsters and bandits that appeared from time to time, and there were already some disobedient families, which also had to be exterminated by the army (generals in the army) one by one, right?

This is not a small piece of territory like the original one county and one state, but now it is the land of Kyushu!

This will have to contain a large amount of military power.

Moreover, the expansion of the army is too rapid, and it is necessary to stop and reorganize at this time, and it is necessary to intensify training.

Before the Great War last year, although Hao Meng had an army of 500,000, the real elite was only in the early 100,000s, and the other nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses were either recruits or auxiliaries. With such an army structure, the battle of Dashunfeng is okay, if it encounters the battle of Chibi in the uprising, as long as the more than 100,000 elites of the Hao army are almost lost, it will be a defeat like a mountain.

Fortunately, under the favorable time, place and people, the power of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Quan and Cao Cao in Guanzhong has become a thing of the past.

However, after the war, Hao Meng's army expanded again, expanding to no less than a million people.

It must be known that these expanded forces are all surrendered after the other princes have been wiped out.

At this time, in Hao Meng's army, the proportion of surrendered troops was more than that of Hao Meng's headquarters.

……

This is also a dangerous thing.

In the Battle of Chibi in the Romance, Cao Cao led millions of people, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiangdong. In Jiangdong at that time, the Sun-Liu coalition army was only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. In terms of the comparison of troops, Cao Cao should be like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

However, in the end, Cao Cao's army was defeated by Chibi, and the million-strong army almost disappeared.

Why?

What Zhou Gongjin's conspiracy, what Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, that is all nonsense!

How many people can Zhou Yu's fire burn, it is impossible to burn millions of Cao Jun in one hand, right?

If millions of Cao troops work together and cross the river to sweep Jiangdong with loss, where is there anything else to do in the world?

This is to convince people with strength!

In fact, the main reason for Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi was because the army was filled with a large number of surrendered troops.

According to the romance, when Cao Cao sent troops to Jingzhou, he actually only had an army of 500,000.

Among them, there are at least 300,000 Tuntian soldiers, which can be regarded as auxiliary soldiers.

Because Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, Cao Cao not only obtained the seven counties of Jingxiang without much effort, but also collected 330,000 Jingzhou soldiers, which gave rise to Cao's army of more than 800,000 troops, known as one million people.

Because there are too many surrendered troops in the house, they have to fight Jiangdong before they have time to digest it.

If you can defeat Jiangdong in one go, there will naturally be no big problems.

However, when Cao Cao was burned in Chibi, the first to scatter and flee must have been the Jingzhou soldiers. These troops are fighting against the wind, and everyone must be vying for the lead. Once you encounter a defeat, even if it is only a small defeat, it will be a flight from the wind.

Secondly, it is the Tuntian soldiers of Cao Cao's headquarters. When Jingzhou surrendered troops and fled, could these Tuntian soldiers still be calm?

When Cao Cao fled back to Nanjun, most of his soldiers and horses were scattered along the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi was the first contribution of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, but the fundamental reason was that Cao Cao's troops expanded too quickly, and he did not have time to digest it, and he made great efforts to practice.

……

Hao Meng's current situation is so similar to Cao Cao at the time of Chibi in the romance!

The expansion of troops is too fast, and the army has too many surrenders, and if it encounters a defeat, it is very likely to trigger an avalanche of rout. When the time comes, Hao Meng will not say that he will clear the world, and it will be good to be able to keep the land of Kyushu.

And Shuzhong is not as easy to attack as Jiangdong and Jizhou.

Even if he knew the road to attack Shu, Hao Meng did not dare to guarantee that he would win a hundred battles when he attacked Shu.

Taking history as a mirror, we can understand the gains and losses.

Although the Battle of Chibi in Romance is not history, it seems impossible to happen in this world.

But Hao Meng still has to learn from it!

Therefore, Hao Meng must stop at this time, not only to rectify the territory of Kyushu, but also to reorganize the army and train soldiers.

However, the current situation is that the successive victories of the Hao Meng Group have given birth to the generals in the army, and the soldiers are eager to start another big war, and they are eager to sweep away the remaining four states in one go.

The territory is bigger, there are more troops, and there are more generals in the army; No matter how awesome Hao Meng is, sometimes he has to listen to the voice of the army.

Of course, Hao Meng can rely on his personal prestige to temporarily suppress all kinds of ideas in the army.

However, who can guarantee that some generals who sit in the "border areas" will not be "outside the country, and the king's order will not be affected"?

Once the generals start a war against Shuzhong privately, it is possible to win a few battles, but it is definitely not possible to win a hundred battles and sweep Shuzhong away. Once there is a slight defeat, even if it is not an avalanche, it will affect the fighting spirit of all Hao Jun.

Although afterwards, Hao Meng was able to deal with generals who did not obey orders. But how can the lost fighting spirit be regained?

In this case, it is better to take the opportunity of the birth of the son of the world and order all the troops to rest on the spot.

When the army rests for a year, the troops in the army are almost run-in, and the million-strong army is also trained like an elite, at that time, you can enter Shuzhong in one go and fight in several ways.

In Hao Menglai, the son of the world was born, and in order to pray for the son of the world, the whole army died down.

This is a big event, and it is to pray for the heir of the Jin Kingdom who has just become, and the generals and colonels in the army dare not act rashly if they think about it.

Because, if someone acts rashly again, are you praying for the blessing of the Son, or are you cursing the Son?

At that time, those who don't listen to the king's orders don't need Hao Meng to teach them a lesson.

……

The order of King Jin, who was temporarily resting, was issued, and the army was really a little disappointed.

However, this is to pray for the blessing of the prince of Jin, and the soldiers have nothing to say, naturally everyone wants the prince of Jin to grow up healthily.

After all, the continuation of the merits of the soldiers is not only in the King of Jin, but also the son of the King of Jin is also the guarantee of the merits of their descendants!

On this day, in the palace of King Jin, Hao Meng comforted Wei Yan, who came back to ask for battle.

"Wen Chang, since you are a general, you should know that although the morale in our army is high now, there are also many instability. Shuzhong is not something that can be conquered in a hurry, and if there is a slight defeat in the big war, it is very likely to cause a major defeat on the whole front. ”

"Yes, Lone Cai had to use the name of praying for the prince to temporarily stop the army."

For ordinary soldiers, Hao Meng naturally fooled them with nonsense about praying for the blessing of the prince. But the generals in the army, during this time, Hao Meng was very appeased, and these nonsense words couldn't fool them.

Wei Yan sits in the middle of the town, looking at Hanzhong, and Hao Meng is most worried about him.

In the history and romance of later generations, although Wei Yan was capable, in the late Shu Han period, he didn't listen to orders much, but it happened from time to time.
