Chapter 235: Deployment
Lu Chang told Liu Yuetian all the deployments of Liang Ji's troops this time, and now he is preparing military food and weapons, it stands to reason that 30,000 troops are not much, and 10,000 quintals of food for a thousand miles are enough, that is, Tianshui, it only takes a few days to prepare 10,000 quintals of food, but it takes two months to prepare a huge Chang'an, which shows two problems, one is that the bureaucratic system in Chang'an has basically reached a state of stagnation, and no one is working at all, and the other is that Chang'an does not have much food, Liang Ji and these high-ranking officials naturally can't take it from their own pockets, so they can only rely on looting the food in the hands of the people, which does take a lot of time.
"Such an army is not to be afraid at all, it just suffers the common people!"
Sun Shangxiang sighed on the side.
"Now that Liang Ji has been preparing for more than a month, and he will send troops in more than ten days, how can this battle be fought? What do you think? ”
Liu Yuetian stood up and came to a huge sand table, on which is a miniature figure from Chang'an to Tianshui, and all the checkpoints and mountains and rivers are displayed on it, and everyone can see it at a glance.
"Lord, as the so-called soldiers are fast, the strength of the other party's soldiers is weak, that Wang Tong is also a straw bag, they are just a rabble, and they don't need them to come to our Tianshui, we are setting up an ambush in the boulder mountain, and we only need five thousand cavalry to attack to win!"
Schler was the first to speak.
"Brother Chang, what do you think?"
Liu Yuetian looked at Chang Yuchun.
"Hehe, what Brother Shi said is indeed right, if you talk about the comparison of strength, you don't need 5,000 cavalry, only 3,000 cavalry with crossbows is enough to wipe out these 30,000 troops, but this is our first battle, and we must win 100%, so I think we should be cautious, it is best to use 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and I will lead 10,000 infantry to meet in the back, so that it will be foolproof."
This battle is the first battle of Tianshui, for Tianshui has extraordinary significance, as a soldier, everyone yearns for meritorious service, although Shi Le and Chang Yuchun have a very good personal relationship, but in terms of meritorious service, can not give in, this credit has made you Shi Le rob me of the opponent how to explain? Therefore, this battle often meets spring and cannot be abandoned.
"Yes, Brother Shi, don't want to monopolize the credit, my soldiers are also eager to try now, just waiting to make contributions in this war, so I think Brother Chang is right, and I also want to participate in the war!"
Sun Shangxiang on the side has a straightforward personality, Chang Yuchun said it a little tactfully, she directly picked out Shi Le's thoughts, and Shi Le was a little embarrassed, and half of his old face was red.
"Haha, you all have a point, but I have an idea!"
Liu Yuetian waved his hand and smiled.
"You guy always has all kinds of ideas, I don't even know how you have a brain!"
Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said, she always thought that this young county king could be so powerful no matter how powerful he was? But after more than a month of getting along, she found out that she had never even heard of the countless ideas in Liu Yuetian's head, and every time it was amazing, and there was almost nothing in the world that he didn't know, no wonder they all said that he was a fairy, and now if someone said that he was not a fairy, she had to be anxious with the other party.
"Isn't there a shortage of soldiers in our Tianshui now? These 30,000 troops are simply a gift to us, so I think we will let them come and not stop them, and let them get to this place all the way. ”
Liu Yuetian pointed to a position on the sand table a hundred miles away from Tianshui and said.
"We are here to annihilate the enemy, and here is more than 800 miles away from Chang'an, those remnants of the defeated generals can't run back to Chang'an, they can only be captured by us obediently, with these soldiers, our army will grow in a very short time, of course, they are a group of soldiers, I can't train them, the rest will be handed over to you."
"Hmph, your mouth is the most powerful mouth in the world, I think even a dead person can make you say that you are alive."
Sun Shangxiang didn't believe that Liu Yuetian, who could even be persuaded by a group of vicious killers, couldn't even settle a group of soldiers.
"Yes, the lord said very much, what Brother Shi and I lack most now is soldiers, the more the better, as for training them, it is not a problem, it only takes a month for us to make them obedient."
Liu Yuetian's idea hit the hearts of the two of them, and he immediately got their support.
"That's right, we will do it according to the way of the lord, and give him a ruthless time here, this time Liang Ji has lost miserably, not only to destroy the whole army, but also to help us grow stronger, I am afraid that he will be angry when the news comes back."
Shile also nodded frequently.
"In this case, then the two big brothers will go and prepare, and Brother Fang, you must also hurry up and prepare for the military rations, once our army is expanded, food and shelter must keep up, and this logistics work is the top priority."
Liu Yuetian said to Fang Xuanling on the side.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have made preparations according to your idea, nearly 10,000 acres of land outside the city have begun to be sold, and about 2,000 people in the city have bought these lands, and now it is spring ploughing, and they are cultivating every day, and when the autumn harvest season comes, we will collect nearly 10,000 tons of extra grain, which can afford the expenses of the extra soldiers."
Liu Yuetian and Fang Xuanling worked together to formulate a land policy, that is, a large area of wasteland outside Tianshui can be provided to the people for 50 years of use rights, of course, this is not free, and each mu of land needs to be exchanged for five quintals of grain.
Of course, ten quintals of grain per mu of land can not be handed over by the people in a year, Liu Yuetian stipulates that forty percent of the grain can be handed over every year, as long as the task of ten quintals per mu is completed, this land will be used for 50 years, and you can do anything.
Fifty years is long enough for two or even three generations to enjoy the benefits of the land.
Although it seems that there is no benefit now, in the eyes of those businessmen, it is clear what fifty years represents, such as today's rapid development of water under the leadership of Liu Yuetian, and many merchants from all over the country have run to Tianshui to open merchants.
Liu Yuetian himself may even become the king of Zhou, even if the world is in chaos in the future, and finally ruled by one party, Liu Yuetian is also very likely to become a prince, and then the land of Tianshui will be valuable, just like the current Chang'an, the same land is several times more expensive than other places, but it is impossible for the people in other places to occupy the land, which day is favored by an official and said that if you get out, you have to get out, and in addition, five loads of grain per mu are actually the same as giving them away for nothing, and they can be made up in five years, Some merchants even directly handed over five taels of silver to buy.
