The proportion of the army of the Chu State, since the period of the General's Palace, has always been relatively small, and it is ...... Less and less!

After all, manpower is becoming more and more expensive, and the salaries and military supplies for maintaining the army are also very high.

The elite of the army that can really fight outside and are not ordinary defenders, the army standing reserve is only 300,000, and some of them are in rotation Tuntian, which has been launched at this time, totaling more than 400,000.

Another 80,000 navy......

At this time, seventy percent of the army was assembling in Jinghu North Road, and the navy was also ready to land in the area of Nanpi in Jizhou.

If it weren't for the country's already basic railway network, Bai Tu would really not dare to do this - not only is it a problem of excessive consumption of military transportation, but Bai Tu himself also has to be weak-minded, will he be smashed into Huanglong.

However, now that there are wireless precision reports and railroad tracks, even if Wei really has this meaning, it is impossible to be faster than the Chu army's return of reinforcements, not to mention that the Wei army is now in the middle because of the "pseudo-Han", and it is not so easy to really want to sneak attack Chu State.

It's just that I really think that Chu has a "small army", then it is a big mistake, if you change the algorithm, the official workshops that directly produce military equipment, military equipment, and the workshops that cooperate with downstream industries are all summed up, you will find that the "Chu army" is several times larger than Wei in terms of numbers!

After all, how arrogant is the Wei State, with the technology of the skillful craftsman battalion, how many can individual soldiers spend if they want to spend money?

In terms of equipment, it is just "sophisticated weapons" and "passable armor", and the cost is higher than the true qi bullet crossbow of the Chu State, but the actual effect is not as good as the Chu State!

After all, the cost of the real qi bullet and crossbow is "invisible", and it is the people who have eaten enough and even started to discuss the issue of nutrition, and the real qi that is piled up is the combat effectiveness that can only be maintained by "luxurious" military supplies as logistics support.

Even behind every Jizao soldier of the Chu State, it is equivalent to three or four workshop workers working to produce equipment, ordnance, and military supplies in all aspects......

This is still not counting the manpower investment in the shipyard and the rail real gas car!

If you count them all, I am afraid that it has already been drawn from six draws and seven draws by one, and it is also because the Chu State is rich enough and has determined the commercial tax from the source as soon as possible, so that the people can invest so much manpower in the military without feeling too much pressure.

This proportion is not far from the Wei State, and if you consider the huge population of the Chu State, it has already exceeded the total of the Puppet Han and Wei States.

More importantly, the efficiency of the Chu State Workshop, as well as the effect of various types of equipment and ordnance......

If you do simple math problems, the weight coefficient of Chu is far greater than that of Wei......

If it is really a math problem, the Chu army no longer has to fight, and the hard power far exceeds that of the Wei army, but it seems that the number of heads is relatively small.

It's a pity that the battle for hegemony is not a math problem, and after comparing the size, Wei will surrender, not to mention that Wei has not yet realized how big the gap is!

Bai Tu was also about to see it, and he knew a little bit about Zhuge Liang, who had a big gap.

"Grass people Zhuge Liang, meet the King of Chu." Zhuge Liang simply called himself a "grass people", obviously because he didn't want to get into trouble.

"Mr. Zhuge is exempt from courtesy, and don't be a grass people, we don't want this." Bai Tu gestured directly to Zhuge Liang on the guest chair.

"King Xie Chu." Zhuge Liang sat down generously.

If it was an envoy on behalf of the Qi State, Zhuge Liang would consider many others, and now...... Liu Bei has been controlled by the Chu State, and the Qi State, or the Great Han Dynasty, has died, what are you doing with all this?

Zhuge Liang naturally got up a little bit by his own temperament......

"When I first came to Xiangyang, I really wanted to see my husband, but unfortunately I missed it after all kinds of reasons." Bai Tu said with emotion.

This is not a lie, when he first entered Nanjun, although Bai Tu was already one of the strongest princes, he was not yet "the general trend has been achieved", and he was naturally full of expectations for a capable person like Zhuge Liang.

However, now Bai Tu is not very entangled - whether Zhuge Liang is willing to do anything or not does not affect the "general trend".

"Thank you King Chu for your kindness, maybe it's bright and shallow." Zhuge Liang did not deny that he deliberately left before Bai Tu came to his cottage.

Although he modestly said that it was "shallow", his tone was obviously saying that he would not change his original intention.

"It's not too late, or maybe it's just right! When the Chu State is in the world, the Central Plains and the north are all in ruins, as well as the overseas Golden State, the northern desert, the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, and even the Western Regions...... All kinds of fertile land to be developed, Mr. Zhuge can show his strengths. Bai Tu heard what Zhuge Liang meant, but he still had to go through the procedure to ask.

Zhuge Liang felt that Bai Tu's tone was too big at first glance, but if he thought about it carefully, when he was in Hanzhong, he received a wireless report from his brother Zhuge Jin - specially shown to him - and he could understand some of Bai Tu's "tone".

Wireless precision report, real gas locomotive ......

The combination of these two things is equivalent to "compressing" the governance area, and the natural "territory" can become larger!

However, Zhuge Liang still shook his head and said: "Thank you King Chu for his kindness, Liang no longer has this heart, and in the second half of his life, he only wishes to cultivate and read the heirloom, and I sincerely hope that after the Great Chu is in the world...... It can be passed down through generations. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't take the opportunity to pat himself on the back, but really wished - after all, it is impossible to count on the Han family for thousands of generations, so it is best for the Chu State to do it.

Otherwise, wouldn't the people have to suffer again in the future?

Especially if Chu Guo's heart is so big, will it be more chaotic in the future? Zhuge Liang didn't want to think about it, but just wished Bai Tu to be able to come for generations.

"Mr. Zhuge is vulgar." Bai Tu explained.

"Doesn't the King of Chu want to be eternal, and he still wants the war to continue?" Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this, and said-I bless you so generously, do you still want to slap me?

"What is there for generations? I don't know if the state of Chu can last for generations, but I want to come...... Eighty percent can't. But this king believes that Chu Min will get better and better...... Mr. Zhuge Why bother to be high and low, the world is the world of the people of the world, why not have more confidence in the 'people of the world'. Bai Tu said casually.

Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Bai Tu probably understood - Zhao Yun and him passed the fine report before.

To say that these "great sages" just think too much, and treat the people of the world as "grass people" all day long, even if they are well-intentioned and hope to create peace for all generations, their role is limited after all.

Zhuge Liang was also frightened by Bai Tu's "big words", the best scholars have always wanted to create a prosperous world and make the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the so-called governing the country and leveling the world, and I have never heard of what the people do to do.

But thinking about what the State of Chu did, saying that the King of Chu really thought so, Zhuge Liang did not question it.

Of course, Zhuge Liang still didn't believe it, Bai Tu really didn't want to "last forever", and Bai Tu couldn't explain to him that he also had a long-term plan of "Chu II and fade away, and the third world and hand N as a mascot......
