Chapter 109: Lobbying
Hanzhong Zhang Lu wants to fight back, according to estimates, it will take at least two months.
It didn't take much time to transfer troops from the front line of Jiameng Pass.
The key is to gather food and grass.
Jia Mengguan and Lang Zhong must also be hoarding some grain and grass.
But these grains and grasses are definitely not enough to support a big battle. If there was enough grain and grass in Jiamengguan and other places, Zhang Lu was afraid that he would have continued to fight Xichuan Liu Zhang a long time ago, how could he have died down for a whole summer?
Therefore, there is not a lot of grain and grass on the front line of Jiamengguan.
Perhaps, it is enough for the daily consumption of the soldiers stationed at Jiameng Pass.
However, the grain and grass needed for the war are definitely not available in Jiamengguan.
Moreover, there is also consumption in transporting grain and grass.
In the era of relying on manpower transportation, a thousand stones of grain and grass were transported from Jiamengguan to Xicheng County, and I am afraid that there were only two or three hundred stones left.
If Zhang Lu wants to counterattack, he must at least prepare more than 100,000 stone of grain and grass on the front line in Xicheng County. There is so much grain and grass, not to mention whether there is anything in Jiamengguan and Langzhong, just the loss of grain in transit is enough for Zhang Lu's heart and liver to ache.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang estimated that Zhang Lu Shiyou** would not move his troops until after the autumn harvest.
After the autumn harvest, the grain and grass collected by Zhang Lu can be directly sent to the front line in Xicheng County.
Not to mention other places, just the small plain within a radius of 100 miles from Nanzheng City is enough to levy 200,000 stone grain and grass. If Zhang Lu sets the tax a little heavier, it will not be difficult for Zhang Lu to collect 500,000 stone grain and grass near Nanzheng City!
After the autumn harvest, the troops were mobilized, which undoubtedly gave the lord Uncle Liu Huang two months.
In two months, for Uncle Liu and Zhuge Liang, a lot of things can be done.
For example, the six newly occupied counties were rectified, and the troops and horses were reorganized.
Another example is the combination of vertical and horizontal.
With Uncle Liu's current strength, if he wants to withstand Zhang Lu's counterattack, it is not that he can't do it, but he is a little reluctant.
In this case, it is necessary to connect Liu Xichuan to the west and Liu Jingzhou to the east.
Not to mention anything else, when Zhang Lu counterattacked Xicheng County, Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Jiameng Pass and pull Zhang Lu's hind legs, it's always okay, right?
As long as Jingzhou Liu Biao relaxes the restrictions, Liu Huangshu's group will be able to recruit displaced people from Jingzhou, recruit soldiers, buy grain and grass, and so on.
Of course, the most important thing is that it would be better if Liu Jingzhou could be persuaded to support some grain and grass.
You must know that what Uncle Liu lacks most is grain and grass!
So, Pang Tong, under the escort of Zhao Zilong, went to Xichuan to lobby Liu Zhang.
And Zhuge Liang chose to go to Jingzhou to lobby.
……
Zhuyang Pass, in the general's mansion in the city, Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping sat opposite each other.
After half a month, the old place revisited, although it was just passing by, Zhuge Liang still chose to rest overnight in Zhuyang.
At the beginning, Wen hired borrowed roads, borrowed soldiers and borrowed grain, and vigorously supported, so that there is now half of Uncle Liu Huang's Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang is now passing by Zhuyang Pass, how can he not express his gratitude?
In particular, it is a move to borrow troops.
Of course, it is also necessary to notify the civil servants about the war damage.
After all, the 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers were all borrowed from Wen Ping!
"General Wen also asks for condolences."
Zhuge Liang persuaded.
Just now, Zhuge Liang had already given a brief explanation of the situation in the general and to Wen Ping.
In particular, nearly 2,000 people were killed in the battle, and more than 500 were disabled.
When he knew so much about the war damage, Wenpin was inevitably a little sad and lost.
It must be known that these 5,000 soldiers and horses are all his hometown soldiers.
"If the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle."
"Now is a troubled time, as long as you are a soldier and eat food, it is inevitable that you will die in battle one day."
Zhuge Liang comforted.
Wen Ping also knows that in troubled times, it is possible to die in battle when he is a soldier, and no one can avoid it.
However, these battle losses are all his hometown soldiers!
Wen Ping can already imagine that when he returns to his hometown one day, how ashamed he is to face his hometown fathers?
Sad for a while, Wen Ping asked, "How about the bereavement?" ”
Casualties are inevitable, and the only thing Wen Ping can fight for now is to fight for more pensions for the children and soldiers in his hometown.
If it is according to the pension of Jingzhou soldiers, the families of these war dead, especially the families of disabled veterans, are afraid that they will be overwhelmed and their lives will inevitably fall into hardship.
"I only hope that the bereavement pension issued by Uncle Liu Huang can support the families of the soldiers!" Wen Pingxin said.
Pension?
At this point, Zhuge Liang is proud.
At the suggestion of his Zhuge Liang, the bereavement under the command of Uncle Liu Huang was enough to be proud of all the princes. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was not worried, Wen Ping would be satisfied when he knew the pension set by Uncle Liu Huang.
Zhuge Liang replied: "My lord has issued a decree that all those who died in battle will be given a pension of 5,000 yuan and 20 acres of land. Disabled veterans who retired from the service were given a pension of 2,000 yuan each, and they were also given 20 acres of land. ”
"In addition, the lord also arranged a livelihood for the disabled veterans."
"Disabled veterans who can move can train recruits for my lord, and they can also serve as officials and patrols in each county."
"Even if you can't move, with those twenty acres of land, you can always enjoy your old age in peace."
"Of course, whether it is a war dead or a disabled veteran, if his family moves to Shangyong City and other places to live, he can also give each person another five acres of land according to the population of his family, and the lord will also reduce some taxes."
Zhuge Liang said, and Wen Ping instantly felt surprised.
Yes, a surprise!
At this time, what is the price of food in the market?
A pension of 5,000 yuan and cheaper grain can be bought for more than 20 stones.
For a family of five, how many stone grains does it take to chew in a year?
What's more, there are still twenty acres of land!
According to Mr. Kong Ming, if the families of the war dead and disabled veterans also migrate to Shangyong City and other places, a family of six will be given 30 acres of land; Add in the twenty acres of land given by the war dead, and that's fifty acres of land.
With a pension of 5,000 yuan, plus dozens of acres of land, the war dead can indeed rest in peace.
Disabled veterans, no regrets!
"Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent!" Wen Ping thanked him.
This is Wenpin's heartfelt gratitude.
As long as you are a soldier, you may die in battle, or be disabled and retire one day.
However, how did the princes of all walks of life in the world recover from the war dead and disabled?
According to the pension of Jingzhou soldiers, a war dead is only a thousand yuan of pension, and there is no other pension and reward.
How long can the families of the war dead be able to spend on the thousand-dollar pension?
It is important to know that for every war dead, their families have lost a pillar.
In comparison, the pension given by Uncle Liu Huang is not ordinarily high.
……
Thanks to Wenpin's borrowing of troops, and talking about the issue of war damage and pension, Zhuge Liang was ready to continue to fool Wenpin.
If nothing else, Zhuge Liang is ready to steal the beams and change the columns.
