Chapter 962:-for-tat

Han Mo turned his head to Han Xuandao and asked, "Governor Han, do you know how much grain there is in Kyoto City?" ”

Han Xuanling said: "General, I have also sent a fine work to infiltrate Kyoto City, and I have inquired about the news, and the grain and grass in Kyoto City are not as insufficient as we imagined. Although the Wei army lost a large amount of grain and grass materials at Nanyang Pass, after the Wei army retreated from Nanyang Pass, the emperor of Wei was already ready to gather troops to focus on protecting Kyoto City. Not only did they quickly collect and gather grain and grass from all over the country, but also the rice and forage stores of the Wei State directly incorporated rice and grain into the grain depot of Kyoto City in the name of borrowing grain. It is said that the merchants in Kyoto Castle also rebelled and were suppressed by the Wei city defense army, killing and wounding many people. ”

Han Mo smiled indifferently: "This emperor of Wei is very positive to save his life. ”

Xia Houde said: "General, no matter how much grain and grass he has in Kyoto City, he has a lot of people and horses. The Wei army that was used to participate in the defense of Kyoto City alone had more than 100,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of war horses. In addition, there are still more than 300,000 residents in Kyoto City, which is more than 300,000 mouths, could it be that his food only supports the army and not the people in the city? If that's the case, we don't need to fight Kyoto City, and the people of Wei in the city can open the gate for us themselves. ”

Xiahoude's words were quite reasonable, and everyone nodded.

Han Mo also smiled: "What Chief Xiahou said is good. In order to attack Qingguo, Wei sent the elite of Wei to defend itself, and in order to shorten the logistics supply line, after occupying Nanyang Pass, a large amount of grain and grass were transported to Nanyang Pass and hoarded. It's just that they definitely didn't expect that in the battle of the Nanyang Plain, they would be defeated with one blow, and they didn't even have time to evacuate the grain and grass...... The iron horse cavalry was completely annihilated, although it dealt a heavy blow to the Wei army, but what really hurt their vitality was the loss of a large amount of grain and grass. He touched his chin and said slowly: "Now that it is summer, it is still early for the autumn harvest, what they have hoarded is nothing more than last year's grain, and there is no new grain to pay, so they can only emphasize the old grain, but they will be very puzzled, Wei really has a lot of old grain to adjust?" ”

He got up from the chair, asked people to take the map of Wei, and then spread it on the ground, all the generals got up from the chairs and gathered around, only Han Cang was expressionless, leaning back on the chair, closing his eyes slightly, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.

On the map, the six counties of Wei are all presented.

The city of Kyoto, which the Yan army attacked this time, was located in Wei County, which was the largest group of the six counties of Great Wei, and was second to none in terms of land area and population.

Geographically, Wei County is in the middle of Wei State, Suiding County is in the east, Shanbei County is in the northeast, Shannan County is in the southeast, in the west of the Wei Army, in the northwest is the most mineral-rich Anxi County, and in the west is Tianshui County.

Han Mo held a thin wooden stick in his hand and pointed to Shanbei County: "According to Ben General's understanding, the six counties of Wei State, the real production area, are none other than Shanbei, Wei and Tianshui County. Shannan County has continuous mountains, there are many medicinal herbs and beasts, which are not suitable for growing grain, and only one-third of the places in its county grow food, which can only maintain the rations of the local people in Shannan County, so we don't have to care about this county. Suiding County is now in our hands, and it is impossible for people to transfer food from here, so it can also be ignored. He moved the small wooden stick to Anxi County and said, "Anxi County is rich in minerals, fertile land, and a huge area, so it was originally a good place to grow grain, but Ben will know that the grain actually produced in Anxi County is not even as good as that of Shannan County, which is surrounded by mountains. ”

Tie Kui immediately said: "General, that's exactly the case, this Anxi County is the place where Wei State is used to mine and smelt iron and domesticate war horses, and Wei State has a strong army, and this Anxi County is a great contribution." ”

"Yes." Han Mo said with a smile: "In order to develop armaments, Wei has always used Anxi County to train horses, although it is fertile for hundreds of miles. Hundreds of miles under the Snow Mountain, are all grasslands, countless horse farms are all over it, in addition, Anxi County is rich in minerals, the weapons of Wei are sharp and strong, and its materials are produced in Anxi County, so it is impossible for Wei to get too much grain from this county. ”

"Then only the three counties of Shanbei, Wei and Tianshui mentioned by the general are left." Charhoud said thoughtfully.

"Shanbei County is now in the midst of a war, Yuan Mu's troops are storming Shanbei County, there is already a shortage of soldiers, and it is a problem whether the local food can supply the needs of the Shanbei Army, not to mention that there is still food to be transferred to Kyoto City." Han Mo said slowly: "So after all, now Kyoto City wants to mobilize grain and grass, or can go to Kyoto City to support grain and grass, except for Wei County, there is only Tianshui County." ”

Everyone present listened to Han Mo's words, and they were quite admired, and it seemed that the general was already familiar with the grain and grass supplies of the Wei State.

"As you said before, although the vitality of the Wei people is greatly damaged, they still have combat effectiveness. Lin Chengfei still has tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, and the surrounding area of Kyoto City is open, and the cavalry will definitely be able to play a great role. Han Mo said solemnly: "So even if the Wei people are unwilling to fight a protracted war, Ben Jiang is really willing to spend it with them." ”

Han Xuanling said with a smile: "Is the general going to let them go without food?" ”

"Whether the Wei people surrender or not, the general doesn't care, but it is necessary to run out of food." Han Mo's eyes shone sharply: "Without food, there will be chaos inside Kyoto City, even if those Wei soldiers are brave, how long can the soldiers without food last?" Speaking of this, he felt gloomy in his heart, thinking that when he was in Shannan County, he and his subordinates were cut off for several days, and then they had to take the risk of breaking through, without food, the combat effectiveness of the army must be weakened day by day.

Tie Kui clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "General, what are we going to do?" ”

Han Mo said slowly: "After entering the Wei army, our army does not need to rush to attack Kyoto City, the main force is to confront them." Then his voice turned cold, "But we can't let another grain into Kyoto City." ”

"The Great General means...... Encirclement for reinforcements? "One of the commanders understood.

Han Mo nodded and said, "Yes, the encirclement point will not be attacked, and the grain road of the Wei people will be attacked." ”

"Brilliant plan!" Xia Houde said excitedly: "General, besiege the city of Kyoto, so that they have no food to help, we divide our troops to cut off the Wei people's grain route, the food hoarded in the city of Kyoto will supply more than 10,000 dead people to eat, but we have to see how much food supply they have in the city." As long as the grain and grass in Kyoto City are cut off, the Wei army will be defeated! ”

At this moment, Han Cang's indifferent voice was heard: "Although the grain and grass of the Wei people can't be supported for too long, can the grain and grass of our army be able to support it forever?" ”

Han Mo stood up and didn't look at Han Cang, but said lightly: "At present, our grain and grass are enough to support a long time, and compared to the Wei people, our logistical support is much stronger. ”

"The transportation route from China to this is extremely long, and the manpower and material resources consumed will be extremely huge." Han Cang said lightly: "If you besiege but don't attack, and keep dragging it out like this, can you afford it, can my Dayan Imperial Court afford it?" A sneer crossed the corner of his mouth: "As the commander of the first army, you should understand that if you transfer grain from the country, the people will be extremely powerful, and along the way, they will also have to eat grain, the longer the transportation line, the more grain will be consumed on the road, and 100,000 stone of grain will be needed in front, so the grain transported from the country will exceed 200,000 stone...... At that time, I am afraid that I will not drag down the Wei people, but will drag my Dayan first. ”

Han Mo smiled indifferently: "Commander Han is afraid that he has forgotten that now that several countries are in a war, the competition is who has the strongest national strength and whose logistics can guarantee it." I have worked hard for many years, and if it is so easy to be dragged down, this battle will not have to be fought. If you want to destroy a country, is it just a matter of paper and you can succeed with a single fight? He returned to his chair and sat down, and said calmly: "Even if our army attacks, it may not be able to settle the battle in one battle, but will lose countless brothers, and consume their logistics, our army will not only be able to reduce damage, but also be able to fight a winning battle, and fight with national strength, which can not only reduce the loss of life, but also be able to win the battle, why not?" ”

Han Cang said indifferently: "I hope so, don't be afraid of taking the responsibility of defeat, so I don't dare to attack!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent changed color slightly.

These two people are both children of the Han family, and they are cousins, but listening to Han Cang's words, he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Han Mo, which really surprised everyone.

Han Xuanling's brows were already furrowed, and he stopped talking, but he didn't say anything.

Han Mo said solemnly: "In the camp today, there is only a distinction between upper and lower levels, and nothing else. If you put forward your own suggestions and offer suggestions for my Dayan strategy, I will be very happy, but if you want to disturb the morale of the army here and desecrate the military prestige, don't blame the general for being ruthless, you are all people who lead the army, you should know the military law, and please remember who is the commander of the army! ”

Han Mo's words were not intended to confront Han Cang.

It's just that he knows in his heart that during the war, orders are forbidden, and military law is ruthless, and if he can't restrain his subordinates well and let every general under him carry out his orders without mistakes, he must strictly enforce military regulations and establish absolute military authority.

Han Cang is dissatisfied with himself, Han Mo knows it, he knows that Han Cang is an arrogant person, but he is worried that he will disturb the military law because of his dissatisfaction with himself. Law and discipline maintain military prestige, and when the time comes, Han Cang must not be forgiven for personal reasons.

He said these cold words at this time, in fact, to warn Han Cang, so as not to really cause trouble that is difficult to deal with in the future.

Han Cang listened to Han Mo's words, although Han Mo claimed to be a "general", but the fool also understood that this was what he said to himself, he suddenly stood up, looked at Han Mo, and sneered: "In this way, my words are still blasphemous to the military?" Then you can ask someone to tie me down and cut me down now, and see if I Han Cang frowns! ”
