"I came to Liaodong just to come and relax." After Liu Pojun told him about the analysis of the entire Liaodong, and even the entire domestic and foreign trends. Zhao Zhe drank tea and said leisurely: "As for how to fight the battle, that's your Liu Pojun's business." I'll be your backup, helping you remove any resistance that would affect your command. In addition, if you need something, manpower, if you are in trouble, let me know, and I will find a way to help you get it. ”

Liu Pojun's tiger body trembled, knelt down, and said deeply: "The emperor's grace and love cannot be overstated. Even if the minister is crushed to pieces, he will not allow the Jin barbarians to invade my Great Zhao and succeed. To repay the emperor's trust. ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about those useless things. I'm just asking you if you need anything, and if you do, just mention it. I don't want you to be crushed, I want you to win this battle. Zhao Zhe stopped and said, "Is the army enough?" If it's not enough, I'll find a way to send some people over? But you also know that most of the elites that my Great Zhao State can mobilize have gathered here. The armies on other frontiers cannot be mobilized. Even if you can come over, most of them are some local guards in the interior who are not in the climate, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier." Liu Pojun said unceremoniously: "The soldiers of the inland guards, although they are slack. But if it is used as a defender, it can barely be used. In addition, the ministers have trained a group of more than 1,000 instructors, who are scattered into the local guard army and sharpen their guns in battle, which will be more or less effective. If the minister can have 300,000 local guards, he should be able to fight with Houjin. ”

Damn, 300,000 people. Zhao Zhe's face was also stiff. However, he knew that Liu Pojun was telling the truth. The Houjin Kingdom will come out of the nest this time, if it relies on the current 400,000 elites to fight, it cannot be said that it is a steady loss or a win. At the very least, the battle will be very difficult. After thinking for a while, he said: "Cheng, Yang Gong, you break the army, you all help me to take a closer look, where is it most appropriate to raise 300,000 guards." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Both of them were in a straight posture, and carefully analyzed the details of how the 300,000 guards were raised.

The total number of troops currently in the Great Zhao State is about 3 million, but in addition to the millions of troops guarding the borders, it cannot be transferred, and in addition to the security problems of the Beijing division, it must not be transferred again. and the remaining distant places such as the land of Liangguang, there are really not many armies that can be squeezed out. After some discussion, the three of them finally decided to draw 300,000 troops from the local guards who assisted in quelling the rebellion this time, and distribute them equally among the heads of each province. First, these armies were already in a state of mobilization, and they were assembled in Shandong and Henan to suppress the remnants of bandits, assist in the reconstruction of the two places, and maintain law and order, and they were relatively close to Liaodong. Second, although these guards were only assisting, they also won a battle, and their morale was high. Thirdly, these armies have more or less experienced some battlefield atmosphere, which is better than soldiers who have never seen war.

Finally, the appointment was drafted by Yang Dingshan and approved by Zhao Zhe, after going around the capital. It was quickly sent to the various guards. Among them, Zhao Zhe also adopted Liu Pojun's opinion, and distributed the more than 1,000 sect leaders he cultivated to each guard after being dispersed.

After doing this, Liu Pojun raised the issue of logistics support, food, armor, war horses, gunpowder, cannons, guns, grease, medicinal materials, bows and arrows, and so on. All of this should be supplied as well as possible. Liu Pojun put forward these requests one by one, and Zhao Zhe's heart was also sudden. Na, each of these items is money, and it is a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction. In addition, in addition to the total number of 700,000 troops, it is also necessary to pay close attention to the recruitment of reserve troops for unified training to supplement the attrition of personnel in battle.

However, he also knows that the war between the two countries is not simply a group of people, and I call a group of people to make an appointment with a place to open the film. It is a real contest of national strength, and whether the soldiers are strong or not is only one of them. What is more is the logistics of the fight and the national strength of the whole country. At this point, although Da Zhao is no longer as majestic as he used to be, he still has a great advantage over the Houjin Kingdom. Whoever has strong national strength, whose national strength lasts long, and who can persist until the end, is the winner.

After gritting his teeth, Zhao Zhe also agreed, although this kind of national strength contest requires a large group of people to participate in the work, but Zhao Zhe promised to keep an eye on the logistics support, and would not let anyone play in it. In the past and after Jinguo, everyone was just a small fight. But this time it was a national war, although the Houjin State only had more than 200,000 troops on the surface. But its logistics and reserves will also closely follow the replenishment at any time. It's just that its foundation is weaker than that of the Great Zhao Empire.

originally thought that after making these two very large demands, Liu Pojun would no longer have any more requirements. Unexpectedly, Liu Pojun thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, the Houjin people are fierce and strong, and they have become martial arts." In a small country, there are four grandmaster-level masters. The emperor came this time, and fortunately brought two Wang Pin grandmasters, but because the national teacher needed to protect the emperor, it was impossible to participate in the war. And Weichen and Yang Gong had to command the entire battle, and it was impossible to rush into the battlefield by taking the lead. As a result, our cutting-edge forces are a little less than those of the Houjin Kingdom. Grandmaster-level masters, in battles involving hundreds of thousands of people alone, can't kill many enemy troops. But it can often work wonders and boost morale. Therefore, if possible, please ask the emperor to give several more grandmasters for Weichen to call. ”

Zhao Zhe didn't care about Yang Pojun's identity as the commander of Liaodong, let alone that he was a grandmaster-level master. got up and flew up and kicked him hard, but he didn't dare to dodge, nor did he dare to rebound hard. After being kicked hard, he kicked back a few steps. Zhao Zhe scolded angrily: "Damn, Liu Pojun, you really think I'm an immortal, and give you a few more grandmasters for you to call?" Do you think the grandmaster is a white-flour steamed bun, and you can make one by pinching it casually? Why didn't your grandmother ask me to transfer you an army of 10,000 grandmasters, and one person stepped on the Houjin? ”

"Hehe, if the emperor has a force composed of 10,000 grandmasters, it is just around the corner to set foot in the world." Yang Dingshan saw that the emperor was finally a little angry by Liu Pojun, and he couldn't help but joke funny.

The grandmaster deserves to be the grandmaster, and after Liu Pojun was kicked by Zhao Zhe, he didn't have any bird incident. After patting the footprints on his chest, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that Weichen casually made a request?" Wechen is just thinking about how to win this war. If you don't have a few, you can give two more. You know, putting the Grandmaster in the army, even if he doesn't do it, is extremely helpful to improve things. ”

"Your grandma's ......" Zhao Zhe glared, paused for a moment before twisting: "In this way, send envoys to all the sects with grandmaster masters in my Great Zhao territory, so that those seven grandmaster masters in the martial arts must attend this war within a month after receiving the order, and wait for General Liu's call." Moreover, each of them must bring at least one first-grade master and two second-grade masters. The rest have two or more first-class masters, and at least one first-class sect is produced. The more people who come out, the more rewards the court will give them after this war. ”

"Your Majesty, the people in the martial arts are a little unruly." Yang Dingshan was a little worried: "I'm afraid I will not comply with the order." ”

"Disobedience?" Zhao Zhe sneered: "Then first ask them if they are from Da Zhao?" Could it be that they were happy that Da Zhao and Hou Jin were defeated in a battle? Let the messenger tell them that when the whole country is mobilized in this kind of national crisis, whoever does not come will be the rebellion of my Great Zhao State. Lao Tzu first did not fight with the Houjin State, and first concentrated the army in Annei. If any sect does not obey the order, I will directly destroy them first. Between the words, there was a faint hint of murderous intent.

"But, Your Majesty. Emei and Shaolin are all people outside the world, usually not asking about the world. Liu Pojun really didn't expect that the emperor would order all the grandmasters to be mobilized. Originally, he just wanted the emperor to open his mouth and see which patriotic grandmaster was willing to come over to support.

"A bird out of the world." Zhao Zhe secretly thought that he was tired of jumping up and down for this country, and he worked hard to resist the invasion of the enemy country. And those who practice martial arts are self-proclaimed people in the rivers and lakes, but they are very free and easy. Chanting of sutras, chanting of sutras, and sando of approaching. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became: "I don't care, whoever doesn't come anyway is against me." Even if I don't want it in this world, I have to shovel this tumor clean. Don't be polite to them, just point it out in the letter. ”

Is that okay too? Liu Pojun and Yang Dingshan stared at each other, but they had never thought of such a way to make people in the martial arts obedient. has always believed that if the people in the martial arts are forced to participate in the army war, it will cause chaos, and even the resistance of the people in the rivers and lakes will be united. But the emperor's words may scare many, many people. What is this called, the ruthless are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned are afraid of dying.

The emperor of his own family, uh, is really a talent. Not only is he very ruthless, but he is quite stunned when he gets angry, but the most important thing is that if he provokes him, he will not even want the country anymore, and he will fight with you. You say, if an emperor doesn't even want the country, what else can't he do? Not to mention that the people in your rivers and lakes boycotted and made trouble, even if you rebelled collectively, he would not change his mind. Whoever wants to compete with him, I'm afraid they can't compare with him. People don't even want the country, and they have to fight to the end.
