After Wolf Ting went out, the venue was still very quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people wanted to go out to arrest people, but they were stopped by the bark wave.

This man in his thirties with a mustache on his face was gloomy. Others felt a little heavy, too.

The king ascended the throne, the dynasty was established, the blessings of the dragon spread everywhere, and the people of the dynasty began to live a slightly better life, but these internal moths began to plague the dynasty and began to cooperate with the enemy.

"When the king was young, someone named Tooth Wound stole iron tools and fled, killed Liantu, and injured the current Prince Kuan." Tree Bark sat on the main seat and slowly spoke: "The first tombstone in the martyr's cemetery is Liantu's. Even my sister-in-law has been able to serve my mother until now, and her son has all kinds of care, all because of this. Prince Kuan's leg injury is also because of this. ”

Bark looked at everyone: "That time, the king and General Bihu chased out on elephants, and killed the tooth wounded family, along with his comrades. As a result, their women were expelled from the tribe and most of them died tragically after that...... This matter was said a few years ago, but no one says it now, probably you have forgotten about it. ”

He slapped the table indignantly, and the bark shouted: "The king has gone to great lengths to establish a dynasty in order to feed you people!" In order to bring you out of the wilderness, I taught the things taught by the dragon without concealment! For you to make your life better, it is still floating on the sea to the south! What about you, the iron tools of three years ago, when the dynasty was just established, they sold the dare things to the barbarians. You say, "Should such a person, besides killing their heads, send their families to the horse farms in the north, and make them slaves to the savages?" Shouldn't they be told to spit out every piece of meat they eat and let you remember that? ”

"I agree. No matter how many people are involved, I'll report to my grandmother and let them know what happened to them! The Spirit was the first to raise his hand in approval.

The bark calmed down: "Others talk about their opinions, shouldn't they be punished severely?" ”

Severe punishment should be given, and no one present dared to say a word. Decided to reunify, Bark immediately asked Shenlongwei to set off and go everywhere to arrest and interrogate. If there is resistance, it will be killed.

At present, there is no independent police, and the functions of the police are still held by Shenlongwei. The people of Shenlongwei took over the task, and immediately gathered all the people and horses, and killed in all directions with murderous spirit. They are definitely more resolute and resolute than those old men in the court. Everyone didn't dare to say anything.

After arranging this, Bark turned his head and said, "Although I don't care about the army, I just want to ask, after the barbarians have a few broken iron weapons, will the people in the army not be able to fight?" ”

The bark was known as a cunning fox in its early years, and now that it gets older, the more steady it becomes, but it is still often used where it should be scheming. And after all these years of tempering, it is often quite effective.

The people in the army are the most enthusiastic and the most unquestionable. The bark's question immediately provoked several people in the army at the venue to scream, even if the barbarians had iron weapons? The haze brought about by the barbarians' possession of iron tools has been dispelled.

In the middle of the room, the next topic became whether to wage an all-out war to conquer the barbarians.

Over the years, the dynasty has been carrying out various constructions, and it also wants to wait for the time to be ripe before using troops against the barbarians on a large scale. As the power of the barbarians grows bigger and bigger, although the preparations here are getting more and more, they always feel that it is not yet time to reach the ideal conditions for a full range of troops.

But at this point, there is no way to delay it any longer. The barbarians have iron tools, they can make iron, give them a certain amount of time, and they will definitely develop expansively. If it drags on any longer, the gap between the two sides may be narrowed.

The result of the discussion was that the use of troops against the barbarians was urgent. It's just that the king is not there, so I have to make my mother nod my head. Bark immediately went to report the situation to his mother. After convincing the mother, the mother appeared in the Tianxuan Hall the next day and declared war against the barbarians. At the same time, it was announced that a unified operational command center would be set up, with Bark in charge of logistics and Zhuangniu as the commander in command of operations.

Immediately, the whole of China revolved around the war.

The whole dynasty began to mobilize for war, expand the source of troops, prepare weapons and armor, reserve food, collect intelligence, do war deductions, and so on.

In terms of war rehearsal, the army's general staff is the main force. There are more than a dozen young people in the staff department, all of them are army elites who have been on the battlefield and can write and calculate, and when Wang Chuan was in Wangcheng, he also gave them individual lectures to explain the concepts of war and deduction models he understood. To a large extent, these people have mastered Wang Chuan's core ideas about war. For example, war is to strike the enemy to the maximum extent and maintain oneself to the maximum. A battle mode that can be won with minimal casualties is a good battle mode. In war, all means that can kill and injure the enemy are good means, and so on.

A few days after the dynasty unilaterally declared war on the barbarians, the General Staff took out a terrifying battle plan and reported it to the operational command center.

"According to the information received so far, the position of the barbarians is in the central island of Osawa in the south, in the meadows, and on the shore in the south, in the water. The terrain in these places is complex, and the roads in spring, summer, autumn and winter are different, and we have not fully figured out the roads in these places until now...... It will cause a lot of trouble for our attack, and it is tentatively estimated that if we send 10,000 men now, it will take three to five months to push through steadily...... Estimated casualties...... Estimated ship losses ......"

The young staff officer was in front of the conference table, pointing to a large map and explaining with a calm expression.

"The current population of the barbarians, according to our estimates, is more than 280,000, and there are some estimates outside the data, which should add up to 300,000. And expect even more. It may take a few more years to completely conquer them, in addition to regular combat. ”

"So we are considering using some means of quick victory, at least to concentrate the enemy's main forces and annihilate them with one blow. Our starting point is to consider where their food comes from. ”

"There are three main sources of food for them. The first is the seafood of Osawa in the south. Because of the limitations of fishing methods and the part of the water in the north, they did not dare to set foot in it, mainly for fear of encountering our slave traps, and the proportion of aquatic products in their food was limited. We don't have the full assessment information here, and we don't think so. Based on various observations, it is concluded that it will probably make up about one-tenth of their food. ”

"The second part of the food source is farming. That's right, some of the people who joined the salt clan went there and taught them to farm. At present, their main crop is rice, and the cultivation method used is slash-and-burn. They don't plough deeply, they don't know how to weed, but they do scatter ash and manure into the fields. How much is such a yield per mu, about sixty catties, less than a back. According to this year's statistics, their arable land area is about 500,000 mu. The annual output is about 30 million catties. This number sounds like a lot, but per capita, one person is only about 100 catties. This is the unhulled grain, which in our royal city, is a little more than a month's ration for an adult. If the barbarians eat bran and wild vegetables together, they should be able to eat it for three months, and after four months, there will be a problem. ”

At this point, someone asked, "In other words, we are going to send people to burn their grain before the autumn harvest?" ”

The young staff officer said: "The grain is grown more dispersed, and the retaliation that comes from doing so may hurt us even more." So we're looking at their third food source. It's the Beast Hunt. That's right, they hunt beasts, too, and they are harder than we are. Because at least half of their food comes from these herds. ”

"In the past few years, everyone should have felt that the scale of the beast tide is decreasing. According to the comparison of our staff in the past five years, after reaching its peak five years ago, the beast tide has now decreased to less than half of its original size. Many people say that when the beasts besieged the city five years ago, they slaughtered too much. The king has analyzed with us, there are reasons for this, and the other reason is that we and the barbarians hunt too hard. ”

"The barbarians have built up on these beasts, and the least casualties for them to break up or force them out of Daze are for us to cut off the tide of beasts on this autumn day. How to intercept it? As long as we set up a hundred fire points on the west side of the Taijiang River and burn the entire passage when the vanguard of the beast tide reaches the Taijiang River, we can burn about half of the migratory beasts that are burned away. You may be worried about the beast siege in previous years, but in fact, with good preparation, this event will not be repeated or will be much less severe. The reason is that the herd is small, and the proportion of beasts that entered our hinterland back then is actually not high, and many beasts will still go the same way according to instinct. After all, less than half of the beasts that have entered our hinterland will not have any problems with us. The remaining beasts that walked along the passage would walk for ten or twenty days without enough food, and most of them would not have enough strength to cross the river and die in the water. As a result, half of the barbarians' food was gone. ”

"What will the barbarians do when we cut off these beasts? There's a good chance they'll not see the problem right away, because some beasts will still get to them. They hunted the last remaining beasts and waited for the arrival of the large herd. Until it snows. By the beginning of spring next year, they should know that our problem is ours. At this time, they will cross the river with hungry people to trouble us, probably on the grounds of getting back the meat that belongs to them. At this time, we can have a beautiful battle on the front. them. In the future, because there is no beast tide, it is impossible for the barbarians to gather like this, and we can expand southward step by step to include them. ”

"Ridiculous!" After saying this, the elders in the venue immediately jumped out and objected: "How much meat has the Beast Hunting News provided us, how can we exterminate these beasts like this?" ”

The dynasty was able to develop to its current stage, and in addition to farming, migratory beasts also played a great role. For a long time, there has been no shortage of meat for people in the surrounding area, and various constructions can be carried out, also because the Beast Hunting News provides almost half of the meat. Hunting beasts has basically become a habit of life in the dynasty.

The young staff officer had obviously also considered these issues, and said calmly: "It has provided us with a lot of meat, but have you ever wondered if the dynasty still needs to hunt beasts?" This year's autumn harvest is imminent, according to the Ministry of Agriculture's estimates, this year's autumn harvest can get 1.5 million backs of grain, about 10 backs per capita, that is to say, we can actually eat a full stomach without hunting animal news, not counting the output of fish and animal husbandry. Let's think about it now, do we eat fresh meat every day, or dry and hard pieces of meat? How much of the salted jerky we get from hunting animals is what we eat ourselves? Now these salted jerky are either used for foreign trade or for slaves to eat. It doesn't really make much difference if there is or not. Moreover, the king had predicted that if the hunting rate continued, these beast tides would disappear in ten years at most. Now we're just making them disappear in advance. But you can think about how many sergeant casualties we can reduce and how much the cost of war can be reduced by implementing our plan. After destroying the barbarians in one battle, we will also have the southern Daze, and how much benefit can we get. Don't forget, now that the barbarians have iron weapons, it's time for you to live and die, and everything must be done with the first purpose of destroying them. ”

"With so many dead and wounded beasts, what should I do if there is a plague?" Someone asked weakly.

"Do your best to stock up on military rations. Mobilize labor to bury. I can't handle it, I can't manage it so much......"
