CHAPTER XXVII
A sound of footsteps came, and Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin bowed to Zhao Wuming: "I don't know if the lord is in a hurry to recruit ministers, what should I do." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"When Fang Cai came to Seoul alone, he found good timber and edge wood transported by Wei outside Handan City. It is estimated that the time for Wei to send troops is not far away." When Zhao Wuming talked about this incident, he was sad. It would be nice if I could stay in Seoul, but unfortunately this is just a luxury.
Xiao He and the others fell into deep thought, thinking of the situation that Zhao Wuming was facing. After a while, Zhang Liang raised his head and looked at Zhao Wuming: "The lord lives outside the city of Handan, if the Wei State raids Handan, I am afraid that it will be the most unfavorable to the lord."
"It's not the Wei army that the minister is worried about, but some people in the city." Xiao He seemed to have thought of something, looked at everyone, and finally turned to Zhao Wuming.
Hearing Xiao He's worry, a thought flashed, and Han Xin subconsciously asked: "Prime Minister is worried, King Zhao of Zhao State, Zhao Wei and Zhao Fan?"
"If they learned that the Wei army was besieging the city, sent the dead out of the city to hunt the lord, and then pushed the fault to the Wei state, wouldn't it be all right." Xiao He said as he spoke, his brows gradually furrowed, obviously this crisis is not easy to solve.
Fan Xu listened to the discussion of several people, and subconsciously blurted out: "There is a way that soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, and they have soldiers in Zhao and Wei, don't we have them in Seoul?"
"What General Fan said is reasonable, and when Liang and the lord discussed, it should not be difficult to have a large number of personal soldiers with them." Hearing Fan Xu's words, Zhang Liang thought of the discussion with Zhao Wuming at the beginning, and showed a smile.
Xiao He seemed to think of something, and shook his head again: "Even if the lord has a large number of personal soldiers, how can he settle down and explain?" You need to know where it is Zhao Guo after all".
"The prime minister didn't know that in order to punish the orphans, King Zhao once relocated the people within a radius of 20 miles to other places at one time. If you let the soldiers scatter and hide, it shouldn't be a big problem." When Zhao Wuming talked about the relocation of the people, his mouth was full of bitterness. A twelve-year-old child was kicked out of the city with a green sparrow. King Zhao was still not at ease, and his intentions were really good at relocating the people within a radius of twenty miles at one time.
Feeling Zhao Wuming's bitter heart, the City Lord's Mansion was silent for a while. After a while, Han Xin looked at Zhao Wuming: "Since there is a place to settle the pro-soldiers, then the remaining thing is to try to upgrade the city and expand the scale of the pro-soldiers."
"If it weren't for the general's reminder, I almost forgot to watch the information after the city upgrade." Han Xin's prompt made Zhao Wuming come to his senses. Hurriedly picked up the official seal on the table, and a virtual interface slowly opened.
City Name: Seoul, Grade: Small City 2 Levels, Floor Area: 200 (One point is equal to one square kilometer). The current resources are full, the prosperity is full, and the city can be upgraded.
Population limit: 100,000, current population: 100,000.
Army Limit: 20,000, Current Number of Troops: 20,000.
Copper coin limit: 200,000, current copper coin 200,000.
Stone limit: 200,000, current number 200,000.
Wood cap: 200,000, current number 200,000.
Bronze cap: 200,000, current number 200,000.
Food cap: 200,000, current number 200,000.
Servant army forces: six small Xiongnu tribes, with a population of 240,000 and a strength of 24,000. There are two small tribes in Donghu, with a population of 160,000 and a military force of 16,000. It has a total population of 400,000 and a military force of 40,000.
Zhao Wuming blinked, and blinked again in disbelief: "Why are resources and prosperity full?"
"During the absence of the lord, the ministers make their own opinions. In exchange for these resources and copper coins in exchange for 300,000 sheep and 300,000 horses in the treasury." Shen Wansan was a little proud when he talked about this matter.
Thinking of the one who was cheated by the traveling merchants when I left Seoul last time, I only felt a little depressed: "At the beginning, I used 200,000 sheep and horses for 100,000 yuan in exchange for various resources, and now I think about it, it's really embarrassing."
"The lord does not need to blame himself, after all, prices fluctuate from time to time, and these are normal." Shen Wansan comforted that the prices of sheep, horses and various materials were actually uncertain. If you are slaughtered once, let him spit it up next time.
A question of most concern appeared in his mind, and the matter of being slaughtered was suppressed in an instant. Zhao Wuming watched carefully on the virtual interface, but in the end he still didn't see the information he needed most: "Why didn't Lone see the scale of the guards."
As soon as the words fell, another virtual interface opened. Due to the upgrade of the city, the value of Sun Buji's command rate has increased to 100 (you can go to the barracks by yourself and choose your own guards). Han Xin's command value has been increased to 100,000.
Zhao Wuming suddenly realized, and smiled at a few people: "I see, why can the general only see that you and Sun Buji's command is worthy of promotion."
"Have you forgotten? For privacy reasons. If others don't want to show it to the lord, then the lord can't see it." Han Xin reminded Zhao Wuming, and then his mind moved. As for your own command value, it is also hidden.
Seeing Han Xin's command value disappear on the virtual interface, Zhao Wuming tapped his hand on the virtual interface, and the virtual interface turned into nothingness: "Since the city has been upgraded, it is better to upgrade alone and discuss other things."
"The lord is slow, upgrading the city requires us to get out of the city lord's mansion. It's better to finish the negotiation at this time, and it's not too late to escalate." Seeing that Zhao Wuming was about to upgrade the city, Zhang Liang hurriedly dissuaded him.
Zhao Wuming looked at a few people suspiciously: "Oh, what's so urgent."
"There is a medium-sized Xiongnu tribe located in the north of our Hancheng, and there are four small tribes around it, three of which were taken by our Hancheng. At this time, the letter proposed that after the lord upgraded the city, he would immediately attack the middle-level tribe in the north, so that my Seoul could be upgraded to a large city as soon as possible." Han Xin hurriedly told Zhao Wuming about the things he had discussed with Zhang Liang and them during this time.
Zhao Wuming obviously didn't expect this incident, and was slightly surprised: "How is the comparison of forces?" What are our odds?"
"The medium-sized tribe has 200,000 people and 60,000 troops. In addition, subordinate tribes can be mobilized to participate in the war. In addition to the three that we have surrendered, the middle tribe in the north can also mobilize the strength of a small tribe, which is about 68,000 Hun cavalry." Han Xin talked eloquently, and he had discussed this matter with Zhang Liang for a long time. If Zhao Wuming came some time later, it was estimated that this medium-sized tribe had already been taken down by him.
Zhao Wuming thought about it, thought of the information about Seoul he had just seen, and nodded slightly: "I have 20,000 troops in Seoul, and 40,000 servant troops can give it a try."
"Since the lord agrees, the ministers immediately go to prepare." Han Xin was overjoyed, so his hard work was not in vain.
Zhao Wuming nodded, Xiao He looked at Cao Shen and Shen Wansan, and then saluted Zhao Wuming: "Since the lord is in favor of this expedition, the ministers and others will also go, and they will leave first when they prepare grain, grass and supplies."
"Food, grass and supplies?". Zhao Wuming was stunned by what he said, he didn't seem to need these last time.
Xiao He nodded and explained to Zhao Wuming: "That medium-sized city is more than a thousand miles away from my Seoul, and our army has more than 60,000 people, how can we not need grain, grass and supplies?"
"I see, there is no one to work for you." Zhao Wuming thought about it and felt reasonable, the original strength was only 5,000, and the battlefield was only hundreds of miles, so he naturally didn't feel the follow-up supplies. But now that the 60,000 army is dispatched, the battlefield is thousands of miles away, and if there is no follow-up supply, there will indeed be a big problem.
Han Xin, Fan Xu and the others saluted, and then turned around and left, preparing for this expedition.
