. The Han State sent troops this time, and it was indeed to mobilize soldiers and horses from the three counties, as well as soldiers from other allied countries, but it was not as many as Chengzi Lu imagined. 【Full text reading】The purpose is that from Guangling City to Zheng Guonan Zheng, the grain road is more than 800 miles long. Even if it is calculated according to water transportation, it will take about 19 days to come to 150 miles a day.

Suppose a boat carrying two months' worth of food for a soldier arrives at the front line, and nineteen days of food are consumed. But that's not all, the return voyage "also needs food, so that it is equivalent to nearly 40 days of grain used on the grain road."

Of course, it is not so simple to calculate, there may be situations such as overturning, falling into the water, and heavy rain on long distances, and the walking speed is different along the river and against the current. But in any case, the burden of the grain road is also very heavy. And it's a waterway, and if you take a slower land route, it's even more logistically stressful.

In order to alleviate the logistical pressure, it is impossible for Yang Zilu to take too many soldiers north. Therefore, Yang Zilu only mobilized three soldiers of the Yulin Army from Guangling County this time, 2,000 county soldiers, 2,000 county soldiers from Shouchun County, and 3,000 county soldiers from Donghai County, and set off after raising enough 10,000 people.

Eastern Chu and other allies also mean it, and each country also sends three to five thousand, but the Song State has the largest number of troops. That's because Yang Zilu insisted on "sexuality", who let Song Guo get close to Zheng Guo, and also bordered Zheng Guo, so it was convenient to send troops! As a result, the Song State sent troops this time, and there were more than 200 troop vehicles, including infantry and officers, totaling more than 16,000 people. As for the supply of food, most of it is supplied by the Chu State, but most of it is supplied by each ** team itself.

And among the vassal states that sent troops this time, Eastern Chu came out of the least number of troops, and this time the troops were sent to help the Chu State, how could the people of the Eastern Chu State be willing? So only two thousand people came out. However, in terms of food, Yang Zilu asked Dongchu to provide food to the Han army, Yang Zilu is not stupid, although his own troops are not much, but now the situation of the Han treasury is not very good.

Yang Zilu knew that if the Han army's grain was to be transported from Guangling City to Yeyi, I was afraid that after this war, the Han State's already inadequate treasury would immediately become a place that rats were unwilling to patronize.

Although the other countries of Lu and Di did not send many troops, the combined number of troops was not small. Let the coalition led by the Han army this time have a strength of more than 40,000 people, but don't forget that there is also the state of Chu. Although the state of Chu was defeated, there were still 50,000 people in it, and the coalition forces combined with more than 90,000 people, which can be described as the largest war in the past two years.

This made Zheng Guoren's face turn pale with shock, and they had not yet figured out how to deal with the multinational coalition army, which was almost twice as strong as them. Qin State came to join in the fun again, Qin State didn't want to take advantage, they didn't border Zheng State, and occupying Zheng State's land was also chicken ribs, and it was a pity to abandon it.

The Qin people were still relatively simple in their thinking at this time, they felt that they were allies with the Han State, and if the country they attacked was far away, it would be fine. But Zheng Guo is not far away, why is he embarrassed to watch coldly from the side? Besides, the Han State also listened well to the Qin State, and when it fought the Chu State, it even occupied a lot of land with the Qin State.

So Qin Mourning, the monarch of Qin, sent his son, the crown prince, as the commander, to lead the Qin army in the Shangyong area where the eight cadres were stationed to Yeyi in the Chu State to help in the war. The Qin State has sent troops, and the Ba State is embarrassed to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not send troops, even if it is pretending, it has to be done! Pakistan also sent a general to lead three cadres of soldiers to help in the war, but it is obvious that Pakistan is here to fight soy sauce.

Pu State was a vassal state of the Han State, and although Yang Zilu did not order them to send troops before, he saw that everyone else had sent troops. Even if Pu Guo really doesn't send troops, although there is nothing on the surface, fools know that they are afraid that they will be secretly hated. The father of Wei Kong, the monarch of Pu State, also immediately mobilized troops and horses, and sent his younger brother Luo Shoutong to lead 10,000 Pu barbarian soldiers to the north to help in the war.

Originally, Yang Zilu was going to launch a general attack on Zheng in January, but now in order to wait for reinforcements from the princes of Qin and Ba, he had to adjust himself and delay the general attack until mid-February. However, there are also many benefits, and the army has also jumped directly from 90,000 to 110,000 troops, which is more than twice the strength of the current confrontation between Zheng and Chu.

Although there are many troops, it is also very troublesome to arrange, and so many soldiers and horses naturally cannot be put together. And the soldiers sent by various countries should also be separated, such as the State of Di and the State of Lu, although there is no war now, both sides are feuds, so naturally they cannot be put together. The other vassal states, if not feuds, have some grievances to a greater or lesser extent.

Although Yang Zilu had already arrived in Yeyi in January, there was not a single clash between Zheng Guo and the coalition forces.

And in this buffer time, there was a person who came to see Yang Zilu.

"Ye Yi ......" Yang Zilu is playing chess with Hou Xiong, compared with Yang Zilu, Hou Xiong is obviously a hardcore rookie, and he has no temper when he is abused by Yang Zilu.

"Lord, the minister admits defeat!" Hou Xiong said depressedly.

"Don't! One more plate! Yang Zilu grabbed the back bear who was about to slip away, and said unrelentingly.

"Lord, aren't you bored? Just find someone like me to play chess! Hou Xiong said with a sad face. I don't want to, they either don't know how to play chess, or their chess skills are all high in me, and I play with them, and the ** out of ten will lose. Only your chess skills are lower than mine, so I only have two choices, one is abused, and the other is abused by others, you say I should choose that nickname? Yang Zilu said with a grin.

Hou Xiong was helpless, he was depressed, why was his chess skills so poor?

At this time, Mang Gao walked into the tent and said to Yang Zilu: "Lord, there is a man named Mo Zhai outside who asks to see you.

"The doctor of that country?" Yang Zilu asked casually while packing up the chess pieces.

"Neither! It's a civilian! "Mangao's face is a little embarrassed and says.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he "touched" and "touched" the short beard of his chin and said, "What is the matter with him looking for a widow?" ”

"He said he had the means to deal with the ladders and thunderbolts!" Mang Gao was also half-convinced, and when he said this, he paused and added: "In addition, he knocked the six soldiers guarding the door to the ground, with his bare hands!" ”

"Isn't it?" When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although the soldiers guarding the door are not first-class soldiers in the army, they are also relatively elite and have relatively fast reactions. Otherwise, if you are attacked, you will not be expected to report it, but you will have to close the door. At the same time, they were neatly dressed, unlike the soldiers who patrolled the camp, but wore a linen coat for the sake of ease, but the soldiers guarding the camp gate wore a piece of leather, with goggles on their chests and iron helmets. Not to mention that these soldiers have weapons in their hands and are bare-handed? Yang Zilu asked himself if he didn't have this ability when he was in his heyday.

"Bring him in!" Yang Zilu was also curious about this person named Mo Zhai, but he thought that this was just a fierce general.

Seeing Yang Zilu receiving others, Xiong Dengri breathed a sigh of relief, immediately packed up the chess pieces, and hurriedly retired to Yang Zilu. Yang Zilu pouted and said, "You guy, you will find a chance to slip away, let's go!" ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Hou Xiong immediately smiled and retreated.

Hou Xiong had just come out of the tent, and it didn't take long. Mangao lifted the curtain of the tent, but did not come in, but said, "Please! ”

At this time, walking in from the outside~ people, the figure is not tall, but relatively thin. Yang Zilu knew that this was Mo Zhai, and Yang Zilu began to carefully look at Mo Zhai who entered the tent. This man named Mo Zhai was dressed in a short coat made of linen, straw sandals on his feet, and his face was full of wind and frost. Mo Zhai's appearance is ordinary, and he does not have the appearance of a fierce general with eyes like copper bells, a face like black iron, and beards like beards. If he saw it outside, Yang Zilu would definitely think that he was an ordinary farmer and would not pay too much attention.

However, hearing Mang Gao's introduction of Mo Zhai's force value, Yang Zilu did not despise Mo Zhai because of this, and focused on Mo Zhai's hands, Mo Zhai's hands were very rough, but the right finger bone was obviously larger, and he looked at the distribution of calluses. Yang Zilu can be sure that even if the other party is not a master of swordsmanship, he has practiced swordsmanship for at least seven or eight years.

"The contemptible people of the north have seen Han Hou!" To Yang Zilu's surprise, Mo Zhai, an old farmer who walked into the tent, actually gave him a standard etiquette.

Yang Zilu became more and more curious about Mo Zhai, it seems that Mo Zhai should be from a noble background! Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so familiar with etiquette. And looking at his movements is not improvised, but learned since he was a child, and he has the atmosphere of nobility in his bones. But how did he become an old peasant?

Yang Zilu was curious and curious, and did not forget to return the gift.

"Flat! Mr. Mo Zhai, please be seated! ”

Mang Gao immediately moved a Mazha to Mo Zhai, Mo Zhai was not stage frightened, sat on the Maza, and asked Yang Zilu: "Xie Hanhou!" Contemptible people heard that Han Hou was preparing to attack Zheng Guo? ”

"That's right! The widow is mobilizing soldiers, and it won't be long before he will go to war with Zheng Guo! Yang Zilu did not hide it.

Mo Zhai thought for a while, and said very sincerely: "There is a misunderstanding between Zheng Guo and Chu Guo, but now the misunderstanding should also be settled."

Why did the Han Marquis let the war break out and plunge the world into war? ”

"The widow wants to be the overlord!" Yang Zilu does not hide his intentions, in fact, it is no secret that Yang Zilu wants to become the overlord. The question now is just when Yang Zilu chose to lead the Han army north to compete for hegemony with the Jin State.

When Mo Zhai heard this, he was not discouraged, but said sincerely:

"The land of the Han Kingdom is very large, with a radius of 3,000 miles, and the land is vast and rich.

Zheng Guo is only a radius of five hundred miles, the land is not good, and the products are not rich! Why did Han Hou have a luxurious carriage and steal other people's broken carriages? Why would you throw away your own silk clothes and steal someone else's patched ragged linen clothes? Is this the behavior of the hegemon? ”

Mo Zhai's words immediately made Yang Zilu speechless, and the ministry didn't know how to refute Mo Zhai.
