In any case, if we want to establish a base area, we will certainly not build it in a place with better conditions, and it is inevitable to endure hardships. And it is likely that in order to establish a base area, it will be necessary to fight hard battles. Therefore, it is important to unify consciousness.

When Hu Guang thought of this, he was patient, turned his head to look at Wang Heizi and said, "Indeed, the Ming army cannot all be elite. We call the Heavenly Army unable to defeat today's Ming Army, which does not mean that it cannot defeat other Ming armies. But have you ever thought about it......"

When he said this, he turned his head and looked at the leaders in the hall, and asked seriously: "A man like us who is strong and healthy and has no diseases and disasters can go to the Quartet, but what about those old and weak women and children?" Will they be able to afford to go with us to the Quartet? ”

The emphasis of the heavenly army is that it is like a family, not that the strong is king. Hearing Hu Guang ask, the leaders were dumbfounded. It is indeed a problem to call the old and weak women and children in the heavenly army!

"Also, whether it is a weak army or not, as long as you fight, especially this kind of cold weapon combat, you will definitely have your own losses when you kill the enemy. How to replenish the dead in battle, and how to recuperate from the wounded? Without a logistics base, without a base area, these will also become our problems. ”

"In fact, the most important thing is not only these, but also food! In this era, the most important thing in fighting a war is food. But how much food can we save when we are fighting on the move? Every time you get a place, you have to keep the local food for yourself. Because we don't produce food, we have to do it. ”

"But now there are famines, and in the next ten years, there will inevitably be famines, how much surplus grain will there be in each place? When we hit the back, how much food will there be to grab, have you ever thought about it? ”

Those who have no place to stand are called heavenly armies. In the end, they will inevitably become the same thieves as in history. If you don't harm the people, but just fight the local tyrants, with the addition of the peasants who are going to starve to death, you will inevitably drag down the army of heaven.

Unless you enforce the elimination of the weak and the strong, this is not in line with the purpose of calling the heavenly army, but it is the same as a thief.

Hu Guang's questions were asked one after another. There was silence in the lobby, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

"If we stay in one place for too long and want to take a good rest, the Ming army will immediately surround us. After the trouble is bigger, not only the Ming army in our Qin land, but also the neighboring Jin army, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Sichuan Tusi soldiers may be transferred over to besiege us. Can we be so strong that we can defeat them in a constant mobile war? ”

In fact, Hu Guang has already told them about the history that happened. These things will inevitably happen as long as they follow the trajectory of history.

At that time, the Central Plains was full of smoke, and it was the people who suffered the most, but it was the cheapest to build a captive in Liaodong.

Hu Guang's questioning one by one exposed the shortcomings of having no base area, or not having a suitable base area. The leaders in the lobby no longer had a fluke mentality, and they fully realized the importance of the base area.

But the more so. The more grim their expressions became, and the more ugly their faces became. Because they found that if they want to have good development in the future, they must have a suitable base area. But where is this base?

After Hu Guang's words fell, there was silence in the lobby. But the heavy breathing was much louder.

Hu Guang saw that no one spoke up, and sighed in his heart. Indeed, it is too difficult to find a base area. So, tell yourself what you want and let them discuss it!

He was about to speak. A person who no one expected suddenly spoke, a little cowardly, and said without confidence: "I want to ...... I want to have a place, I don't know...... Yes or no? ”

When everyone heard the sound, it turned out to be Hu Guang's sister-in-law Wulan.

When the female compatriots hold a meeting of the chiefs, they rarely speak, and usually act as a foil. In the environment at that time, it was all men who spoke, and women who didn't interject.

Based on Hu Guang's insistence, women can hold up half the sky, and Ulan and they all participate in every meeting, but they consciously rarely speak.

The sudden speech at the moment is extremely surprising. Now this issue, when everyone is at a loss, it is even more surprising that she said that she wanted to mention a place.

In this context, even if Ulan is usually more generous, he is ultimately lacking in confidence.

When Hu Guang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, we are just having a meeting to discuss." ”

Hu Kuan looked at his wife in disbelief, but did not speak, and listened with a curious expression.

After receiving Hu Guang's affirmation, Ulan had more courage, spoke coherently, raised his head and said quickly: "There is no suitable place in the pass, so what about outside the pass, is it possible on the territory of our Tumut tribe?" ”

When Hu Kuan heard this, he subconsciously said: "Nonsense, what can you do outside the gate!" ”

When the others listened, they had a similar attitude. How could the base area be chosen to go outside the Guan, this is impossible!

Who knew that after Ulan said it, his courage became stronger, and he immediately retorted: "Why can't you do it outside the gate? Will the Ming army still chase them out? ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent. Indeed, the Ming army will not chase out of the pass, but there are Mongols outside the pass!

At this time, Hu Guang spoke a little excitedly, and affirmed loudly: "Sister-in-law is right, Guanwai is also an option." Why it works, why not, we can discuss! ”

As soon as Hu Guang said this, the leaders in the hall did not oppose it all at once, and began to think about the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a base outside the gate.

Hu Kuan first faced his younger brother and put forward his own opinion: "Second brother, it is obviously impossible to be outside the border. That's the territory of the Mongols, their cavalry is in the thousands, coming and going without a trace, how can we fight? ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes, and this is the reason.

But Ulan was not convinced, and she immediately retorted: "We Mongolians are divided into many tribes, how can there be so many thousands of cavalry troops in normal times?" That's when those noble lords unite and want to enter the customs to grab things, they will gather. ”

Hu Guang smiled, waved his hand, first quieted the scene, and then said with a hint of excitement: "Everyone, the reason for opposing the base building outside the customs should be one, it is the territory of the Mongols, and they are afraid of the Mongolian cavalry's trouble, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, Childe!" Many of the leaders replied in unison.

"Well, that's a reason to object." Hu Guang nodded approvingly, and then said to Ulan: "Then sister-in-law, you proposed that the Tumut side outside the Guanwai be used as a base area, what is your reason, tell us about it, and then we will decide whether it is okay or not?" (To be continued......)
