There are 30,000 pairs of rattan armor! Zhuge Liang's calm face hung on his face. （_o_m）

The rattan armor is very practical, but it takes more than ten or twenty years to make a pair. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was most worried that the number of rattan armor was too small to form combat effectiveness. But now that there are 30,000 rattan armors, it is enough to equip 30,000 troops. Wherever 30,000 people are placed, they are a very powerful fighting force. What's more, these 30,000 people are still invulnerable.

"Prime Minister, I want to go to Meridian Valley.

Adou said suddenly.

"Walking the Meridian Valley?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that Adou was going to lead the vine armor soldiers to the Meridian Valley raid army to surround Chang'an's Hu people's coalition army.

The distance between the Meridian Valley is long, and the road is dangerous, so it is necessary to take the Meridian Valley by surprise and attack it unprepared. However, because the road in the Meridian Valley is difficult to navigate, at most it can maintain a march of 5,000 men and horses, and now there are hundreds of thousands of Hu soldiers besieging the city, and 5,000 people appear under Chang'an City, which is difficult to play a role at all.

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Prince's Palace, this matter is still good step by step." Now that the Hu army is spread all over Yongzhou, we should still go out of Qishan and slowly advance eastward. Moreover, it can also cooperate with His Majesty's army in Chang'an City to attack the Hu people on both sides. ”

"Prime Minister, I want to leave all the Hu people's soldiers and horses in Yongzhou this time, and don't let any of them go! If you go out of Qi Mountain, the Hu people will be aware of it, and if the Hu people run away in advance, it will become a big disaster in the future. ”

"The road in the Meridian Valley is difficult to navigate, at most five people can pass, how can it stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Hu people? With only 5,000 men and horses, even if the Hu people want to run, they can't stop it! Zhuge Liang said.

"The prime minister is wrong, it's not 5,000 but 30,000!" Adou said with a smile.

"Thirty thousand?" Zhuge Liang was stunned. Then Ma understood: "You said that the land is 30,000 vine armor soldiers? ”

"Not bad. That's 30,000 vine armor soldiers. This rattan armor knife and gun are not: avoid arrows. It is the Hu cavalry that is feasible. As long as you stand in good formation, it is an army of 100,000 Hu people. It can't break the ground formation of 30,000 vine armor soldiers! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince. The Meridian Valley road could not have allowed 30,000 men to march. Grain and grass alone are not available. ”

"Prime Minister. This rattan armor is much lighter than ordinary armor. Wearing rattan armor means that you can bring a lot of food. Adou replied.

"That's not allowed. Even if you can bring more food and grass. But the roads in the Meridian Valley are difficult. 30,000 people went out of the valley. I'm afraid it will be reduced by more than 20%! And the mountain road is difficult to walk. Even if it succeeds in getting out of the Meridian Valley, the successor will be powerless. Exhausted to fight. ”

"This prime minister doesn't have to worry about it. When I was conquering land in the south, I once surrendered a Yinye cave, and the owner of the cave was named Yang Feng. Yang Feng had an army of 30,000 under his command, wearing armor and fighting the army. Walking through the mountains and mountains is like walking on flat ground. So I want to take these 30,000 people in rattan armor. Go to the Meridian Valley to raid the Hu people. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, these 30,000 people are barbarians in the end, lack of training, and their combat strength is difficult to compare with the elite of our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task."

"Prime Minister, I plan to send troops to Meridian Valley in April next year and arrive in Chang'an in May, and I can train these 30,000 barbarians from now until April next year. And Ma Liang's side also needs time to make arrows, and I think you also need time to allocate grain, grass and soldiers and horses, Prime Minister. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, Yongzhou alone has 400,000 Sanhu, so this time to support Yongzhou, at least 100,000 horses must be sent. And Zhuge Liang also calculated that in addition to some of the men and horses left behind in Hanzhong, it is also necessary to add the Southern Expedition army that Adou just brought back, 20,000 people transferred from Jiangzhou Zhangren, plus some barbarian soldiers, it is absolutely no problem to make up 150,000 people. The key issue is the issue of food and grass for 150,000 people.

This year, neither Hanzhong nor Xichuan has suffered a major disaster, and the grain can be regarded as a bumper harvest, and the new grain that has just been harvested recently can be used to solve the problem of grain and grass for sending troops to support Liu Bei this time. But whether it is the allocation of grain and grass, or the adjustment of soldiers, it takes a lot of time. The mobilization of 150,000 people, plus grain and grass, will take at least a few months, and it will not be completed until February or March next year. In other words, to support Liu Bei, it will not be able to send troops until February or March next year at the earliest.

Zhuge Liang remembered what Adou had just said that he would send troops in April and arrive in May, and he would also stop all the Hu people in Yongzhou and prepare to annihilate the Hu troops. However, the Hu people have an army of 400,000, if you add the Qiang people and clans who are still in Liangzhou, the number will be more, even if Shuzhong goes to 200,000 reinforcements, plus the men and horses in Liu Bei's hands, the number of people can only be comparable to the Hu people, if it is a head-on battle with the Hu army, how can we talk about the total annihilation of the Hu people?

Adou said that he wanted to annihilate the Hu army, naturally it was not without a target, and suddenly, Zhuge Liang understood that Adou singled out the troops in April, and there must be a plan in it.

"The prince wants to flood the Hu army?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked.

Adou was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "What the prime minister said is right, I am just preparing to flood the Hu people!" Yongzhou has Weishui, Jing River and Yellow River, so I plan to arrive in Yongzhou in May, then store water for a month, and wait until June and July, when the water is sufficient, dig a barrage and flood the Hu army! ”

Zhuge Liang gasped. During the Three Kingdoms period, the central and western regions of China did not want to be so arid as they are now, and in Yongzhou, the Yellow River was only secondary, and the most important thing was Weishui.

Weishui is the largest tributary of the Yellow River, while the Jing River is the largest tributary of Weishui. What people usually call Guanzhong

Wild, all in the vicinity of the Weishui River and the Jing River. The people of Yongzhou also often take irrigation, and the more famous Zhengguo Canal is built on the Jing River.

Weishui is a tributary of the Yellow River, and it is also the most important water transport in Guanzhong, its basin is covered with loess, the soil texture is loose, especially the nearby people in order to reclaim farmland, long-term indiscriminate reclamation and logging, destroying a lot of vegetation, making the Weishui River contain a relatively large amount of sediment. The high sediment content in the water also causes the riverbed to be constantly raised.

During the dry season, the amount of water in Weishui is severely insufficient, which affects the continuity of the waterway, but in the season when the water is abundant, it is easy to cause floods because the riverbed is unstable. Therefore, once the Weishui is broken, most of the entire Yongzhou will become a Ze country.

Thinking of this, Ge Liang immediately shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, absolutely not!" It's not going to work! Once the Weishui River bursts, both sides of the Weishui River will become a fertile country, and the fertile fields will also be flooded. The root of Yongzhou is on both sides of the Weishui, if it is flooded, the people along the Weishui will not be displaced and have their homes to return! ”

"Prime Minister, the Hu people entered Yongzhou, burned, killed and looted the people of Yongzhou are displaced, homeless, and will be poisoned by the Hu people! As for the fertile fields, they can be cultivated when the water recedes, but they will lose a year's harvest! In exchange for this year's harvest, the vitality of the Hu people is greatly damaged, and it is worth it! ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still hesitating, Adou then persuaded: "Prime Minister, the food is gone, we can plant again!" If the house is gone, you can build it again! But if all the people are killed by the Hu people, who will grow food? Who will build the house? Although flooding the land of Yongzhou is a last resort, it is also a necessary measure. Although it will make the displacement of the people of Yongzhou, it will also make the vitality of Xianbei, Xiongnu and the tribesmen greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to become a disaster in our Central Plains within 30 years. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince's move will hurt innocent people, and it will hurt the peace of heaven!"

"Prime Minister, what is and? Is it true that the few dead are the harmony of heaven? Does it hurt heaven and earth when people die too much? From the Yellow Turban Uprising to the present, how many people have died in my Central Plains! If Yongzhou is flooded, many innocent people may die, and a large number of people will be homeless, but today's sacrifice can be exchanged for the peace of future generations. We have hurt the vitality of the Hu people now, and in the next few decades, our people in the Central Plains will no longer have to worry about the attacks of the Hu people. Even if Yongzhou has become a Ze country now, but at least three or five years, at most ten years, Yongzhou will return to its former prosperity. If we can't take advantage of this opportunity to hurt the vitality of the Hu people this time and be fled to the grassland by the Hu people, then next year, the year after that, and even every year thereafter, the Hu people will invade our borders, slaughter our people, and loot my property. Now that the Central Plains has been in chaos for so many years, the vitality is hurt, if we let go of this good opportunity, maybe we have to be like the ancestor back then, and the three generations can break the Huns! ”

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, what Adou said was that food can be planted every year, and houses can be built at any time. But if the Hu people continue to loot and harass them, what if they have food and houses, the food they grow will not be robbed by the Hu people, and the built houses will be burned by the Hu people!

At that time, Gaozu Liu Bang took advantage of the momentum of the next unification and wanted to defeat the Xiongnu, but was surrounded by Baideng. After experiencing the cultivation of Wenjing II, it was only during the period of Emperor Wu that he was able to defeat the Xiongnu with the national strength accumulated by the three generations. And now the Central Plains has been in turmoil for many years, and the princes have been divided for decades, although the Three Kingdoms are now in full swing, but the mess left behind is similar to that of the early Han Dynasty, but the Xianbei people on the grassland are stronger than the Xiongnu back then. The only difference is that now the Xianbei people are not united and are divided into three parts. However, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be a strong man in the Xianbei people in the future to unify the Xianbei tribes, and at that time, a powerful Xianbei will not be able to be defeated by any of the three countries alone.

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that a big one might destroy most of Yongzhou, but for the people of the entire Central Plains, for all the Han people, this flood might be a good thing!

"Got it!" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, and said: "The minister will go to prepare grain and grass for the disaster relief in Yongzhou." ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he retreated, leaving Adou in the empty hall.

"The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!"

"A chivalrous man is not a chivalrous man in one city and one place, but a chivalrous man in the world......"

Back then, Wang Yue's words constantly surrounded Adou's ears.

"For the sake of the future life of the Central Plains, I can only temporarily wronged these people in Yongzhou!" Thinking of this, Adou also shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Adou remembered that Wang Yue had given him a golden knife ornament and asked him to find a person surnamed Pu. So Adou immediately called Zhang.

"Zhang, go check it out immediately, among the people, there is a big surname of the Pu family......"

All the branches, and even the foreshadowing that was laid a long time ago, are finally coming together. I still don't write much today, mainly thinking about the war in Yongzhou as a whole.

There are too many involved, Chang'an Liu Bei, Adou Reinforcements, Liangzhou Ma Chao, Tongguan Cao Zhen, and the contradictions between Wuhu will be involved. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, there are more chapters, support the author, support UC e-book!) )
