Wang Jun repelled Zhuge Liang with lightning speed, greatly disappointing Sima Yi, who received the news; Under normal circumstances, Sima Yi would definitely be annoyed by Zhuge Liang's stealing behavior, how to say that Guanzhong is also the territory of Wei; However, in the current situation, Sima Yi hoped that Zhuge Liang could contain the Wang army and reduce the pressure on Chang'an's defense, but Zhuge Liang was obviously not strong enough.

After driving away the Shu army, Wang Jun asked Deng Zhi to arrange 2,000 cavalry to cross Weishui to encircle and suppress the scattered Shu army; If the thousands of routs are not dealt with well, it is inevitable that there will be some demon moths, and in addition, the plank road in the slope valley also needs someone to set a fire, and how much can be burned; On the way back to Fufeng County, Wang Jun summed up some recent problems, and if people want to make progress, they need to constantly summarize and reflect.

The most serious problem is obviously communication; Now that my territory is slowly getting bigger, the problem of inconvenient communication is becoming more and more obvious; Take the incident of the Shu army stealing the plane this time, fortunately, the distance is close, if it is a thousand kilometers away, and when the news reaches his ears, it is estimated that the territory has been robbed.

Beacon fire, except for the fact that there is an enemy, can't express anything, who is the enemy? Centaur geometry? It's all vague.

If the post post is increased, if the density of the post station is increased, and a large number of horses are added, it can barely be used; But now that the war is raging, it is difficult to deal with it, regardless of the security surname, just because it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Thinking about it, it seems that only the development of the pigeon industry is the most suitable.

So, after returning to Fufeng County, the first order issued by Wang Jun was not the attack on Chang'an, which the generals expected, but the "order to catch pigeons"; Whether it is a soldier or a general, or the people under his jurisdiction, as long as they can catch a pair of healthy pigeons, whether it is a forest pigeon or a rock pigeon, they will be rewarded with an "artifact...... The so-called "artifact" is a lighter. In addition, Wang Jun also recruited 10 women with experience in raising chickens and ducks from Fufeng County, and hung the female soldiers of the Suzaku Army; As long as someone catches wild pigeons, they are handed over to these 10 female soldiers to take care of, and Wang Jun also explained how to raise pigeons to these female soldiers.

Deng Zhi, Zhang Jaw and other generals were very puzzled by this, and privately thought that Wang Jun liked to eat pigeon meat, and planned to raise a group of them, and they could eat them if they wanted; As for the selection of some young women to raise pigeons, considering that the queen Cao Ying is happy, all the generals know ...... Wang Jun didn't know that he was put on a hat that he was going to take a concubine, and this gossip was passed on to a certain lieutenant general, and a certain lieutenant general was passed on to a certain lieutenant...... In the end, the female captain of a certain Suzaku Army bit Cao Ying's ear.

…………

In addition to communications, another prominent issue is the issue of population, especially the issue of troops.

Since the opening of the Guanzhong War, a total of 35,000 soldiers from the Wei army and the Shu army have been surrendered, plus the Xuanwu and Yulin armies, the soldiers and horses that the Wang army can use for the Guanzhong campaign seem to be more than 80,000; In fact, there are only 65,000 men and horses who can be put into attacking Chang'an City, and there are more than 20,000 people and horses, distributed in various cities in Anding, Xinping, and Fufeng counties in addition to Fufeng County, of which Chen Cang accounted for 4,000 men and horses, and Xiao Guan went to 5,000 men and horses.

As soon as he simply settled the account, Wang Jun began to have a headache about defense; Historically, in order to solve the problem of defense and management, the conquerors killed all the men who were higher than the wheels everywhere they went, which really alleviated the problem of insufficient troops after occupying a large amount of land. Of course, Wang Jun didn't want to do this, the three kingdoms have been fighting for many years, which has caused the Chinese population to drop sharply, besides, this is also a civil war.

After the slaughter of Wuzhangyuan, Wang Jun actually regretted a little, there are many ways to solve the problem, for Mao himself must use violence?

The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu combined, historically said that there were only 7 million people during this period; For this number, Wang Jun, who has not yet unified the whole country, cannot be determined, but according to the current situation of his own territory, the population is indeed sparse; In the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, Wang Jun went crazy and made a sudden attack, and the result was equivalent to dropping the country's population by one thousandth...... And it's a strong population.

Obviously, if Wang's army had gone on a killing spree every time he fought, when China was unified, it might be a situation where there were no people.

After arranging the matter of pigeons and considering the killing of the enemy in the future war, Wang Jun focused on how to attack Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was originally majestic and abnormal, because of the ability of the Han army to attack the city, since last winter, hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians have been mobilized to carry out a comprehensive repair; The city wall is 12.6 meters high, 12-16 meters wide at the bottom, and has a circumference of 26 kilometers. There are 12 gates alone, and each gate has 3 openings and is about 6 meters wide; The moat is a must, 7 meters wide and nearly 5 meters deep; In short, the huge and majestic Chang'an City amazed the Wang Jun from later generations. From 192 to 196 AD, Chang'an fell into war and was almost completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo's gang; After more than 30 years of recuperation, Chang'an gradually regained its prosperity, and according to Zhang Jaw, there are now about 150,000 people in the city.

At the military meeting, Wang Jun sat aside and drank tea, while five generals Deng Zhi, Zhang Hu, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Guang began a heated discussion; The captive Wang Ping has not yet decided to defect to Wang Jun, but he also sat next to him to drink tea with Wang Jun and listened by the way.

The world is big, but it's actually very small; Wang Ping not only knew Deng Zhi, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Guang, but also knew Zhang Jaw and Zhang Hu, because everyone had been in the Wei army camp in the early days; However, at that time, Wang Ping's status was lower than that of Erzhang, and he didn't have much friendship.

Wang Jun did not expect that his practice of letting the generals discuss freely was recognized by Wang Ping from the bottom of his heart; Wang Ping, who doesn't know a few big characters, is a rare pure illiterate general, who talks little but thinks well; Although he got Zhuge Liang's respect, Wang Ping didn't like Zhuge Liang's style of words, he had the final say in everything, and when the generals went out, he would give you a bag or something, so he would treat you as a fool...... In order to protect himself, Wang Ping had to hide himself.

In Wang Jun's view, if you want to unify the world, you can't rely on yourself in everything, and you should let your subordinates do what you should do; As the top leader, the key is to grasp the overall situation, and other things, at most, when subordinates need support, just help in time.

In Wang Ping's envious gaze, Deng Zhi and others discussed and deliberated, and successively finalized three sets of plans with a high success rate; Wang Jun lit a cigarette, and the patient audience will explain one by one, and his face will always maintain a faint smile.

The wisdom of the ancients is definitely not to be underestimated; Deng Zhi and Zhang Jaw's three sets of plans are very distinctive, the time of the attack, the coordination of troops, etc., are very thoughtful; However, these generals did not take into account two issues, or rather, they really didn't care......

So, Wang Jun asked Ada to draw a huge map of the world on the ground, Deng Zhi and Zhang Yi had already seen it once, but the four generals Zhang Jaw, Zhang Hu, Zhao Guang and Wang Ping were stupid; However, the focus of Wang Jun's words this time was different from last time, and Deng Zhi and Zhang Yi were shocked again.

In addition to the simplified version of the brief history, geography, and politics, Wang Jun focused on population theory; The world is so big and there is no population, do you rely on gods to grab land and manage territory? In later generations, there were many brick families who called the beasts to excuse the incompetent, saying that because China has too many people and few resources, it is poor, so backward, so the welfare is not high, so it must have family planning...... It's all!

Generations of enemies, said Ben, extremely densely populated, resources? No kidding...... Is this backward? Poor? ……

Oh, can't you compare the Chinese with the Yue himself?

All right!

Hong Kong and Macao, which have a huge population density and ...... resources Got a gross resource? Backward? Poor? Are benefits low?

Monaco, Singapore...... Whether it is Chinese or not, many places with extremely dense populations, poor resources or ordinary are definitely not lagging behind! Definitely not poor! Absolute benefits are not low!

The subject of population, obviously, the bricks and beasts are not up to par; It doesn't matter if you fail, but if you don't pass, you still run out and bark, that's their fault.

…………

In short, Wang Jun made a group of generals understand one thing, population, very important, don't take it seriously; Of course, except for a small number of alien races, the generals will look at a certain island in the map and understand it.

In addition, the key cities should not be destroyed casually, which is also a point emphasized by Wang Jun; Since Wei has repaired Chang'an City well, why must it be destroyed? It's all like Chen Cang to let the dragon cannon guards blow up indiscriminately, wouldn't it be necessary to renovate it yourself if it is taken down, and it will cost the people and money, what a waste!

In response to this military operation, Wang Jun put forward two principled requirements: first, Chang'an City, which must be completed completely; Secondly, the more than 120,000 Wei troops should be killed as little as possible.

Wang Ping, who had been listening with his ears pricked up, was stupid at the time; Since he personally experienced the terrifying methods of the Wang army in Wuzhangyuan, Wang Ping had no doubt that the Han army could defeat the seemingly powerful Wei army, but there is always a limit to everything, right? With such high requirements, it is difficult to ...... Wang Ping's head was buzzing, and he looked at Deng Zhi and the others who didn't care suspiciously.

The generals discussed again, selected a set of plans that were closest to Wang Jun's requirements, adjusted them, and assigned Wang Jun a task...... Send a mission to the King of Han?

Wang Ping's jaw almost fell to the ground...... For Wang Ping, who often looks down on himself in his heart, the atmosphere of the Han Army is too tempting! After the meeting, Wang Ping naturally joined Wang Jun and became the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, under the command of Deng Zhi.

On the morning of March 13.

Tens of thousands of Han troops appeared near Chang'an City; For a time, the drums of war in Chang'an City shook the sky, and there were many swords and guns on the city tower, and a large number of soldiers hurriedly assembled; For the Wei army, which was defending the city, repairing the defense and shrinking the strength was to wait for the Han army to attack.

However, things are not going as Sima Yi and others thought; The Han army bypassed the north of Chang'an and marched directly to the east, ignoring the nearby city of Chang'an; Looking at this momentum, it seems that the Han army plans to go straight to Tongguan and enter Hongnong County in Sizhou...... Then, attack Luoyang!

This behavior is crazy, abandon Chang'an and don't fight, and kill Luoyang directly, isn't the Han army worried about the back road being cut off?

Sima Yi was not stupid, and he already had a judgment in his heart that the Han army's eastward advance was fake, and the purpose was to lure him out of the city to fight; But the problem is that if Sima Yi lets it go, these Han troops really kill Luoyang, then they will die; You must know that because the eastern and western fronts of Wei fought at the same time, and the northern front needed to guard against Xianbei, the strength of the whole Sizhou was only about 100,000...... Moreover, the elite battalions of Zhongjian and Xiaocai, together with just 10,000 horses, were brought to Guanzhong by themselves.

Half an hour later, 60,000 Wei troops poured out of Chang'an City like a tide and rushed to the east; The main general will be Xu Qian, commanding 50,000 ordinary soldiers and horses plus the backbone and the second battalion of Xiaocai.

To be honest, Sima Yi was very worried, and when he made the decision to pursue, he was really forced to be helpless; The Han army's conspiracy directly hit Sima Yi's vital point, even if Sima Yi wanted to fight to the death, the commanders of the two battalions of the backbone and Xiaocai would never agree; The backbone battalion Hulie general Dian Lin and the leading general of the Xiaocai battalion Cao Yan, although their positions are not as good as Sima Yi, they are the henchmen of Emperor Wei Ming's lineage, how can they sit back and watch the Han army threaten Luoyang?

If Sima Yi didn't fight, Wang Jun would really go east...... However, it is just to lay down the Tongguan.

Zhang Jaw, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Guang led 35,000 horses to stay in Fufeng County, and Arnold, Ada and more than 200 dragon artillery guards also stayed; On the one hand, it is necessary to maintain the deterrence of Chang'an City, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prevent Sima Yi from taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack to regain lost territory.

Wang Jun, Deng Zhi, Zhang Hu, and Wang Ping, with 30,000 horses, seduced the 60,000 Wei troops who chased them out of Chang'an City, and wandered on the vast Guanzhong Plain.

The horse's hooves are flying, murderous; Cao Yan, the leading general, ran wildly on the open field with 5,000 Xiao horses, and the figure of the Han army in front of him was already faintly visible.

After only advancing with the army for a while, Cao Yan couldn't hold back, and almost forced the main general Xu Zhen to agree to the request to pursue first; As the chief general of the "First Army" of Wei, Cao Yan has enough self-confidence and capital, and he will be afraid of the so-called "tough" Han army.

the Battle of Nanpi and the slaughter of Yuan Tan; The northern expedition to Wuheng and the angry slashing of Dun; said that he traveled a hundred miles and defeated Liu Bei; Break through the Western Army and defeat Jinma Chao; broke Wu Lan and forced Zhang Fei back...... The Xiaocai battalion originated from the tiger and leopard cavalry, which can be described as a great achievement, and should be the most powerful army of the Wei State; These dazzling feats, Cao Yan's father Cao Chun, included three of them, which was enough for Cao Yan to be proud of.

What Cao Yan wants most now is to reproduce the glory of his father, with 5,000 soldiers, to defeat the 30,000 Han troops in front; The main general Xu Zhen still had 2,000 ordinary cavalry in his hands, which was originally going to be handed over to Cao Yan to take with him, but Cao Yan refused; In Cao Yan's eyes, the entire Wei State, except for its own cavalry, which can be called cavalry, is an infantry on horseback.

Feeling the shaking of the ground, Deng Zhi's blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull his 10,000 Yulin cavalry and turn around to do a big job to see whose cavalry had a good nose...... However, the lord said very clearly, the population, the civil war, let's go as planned!

The desolate sound of the trumpet sounded suddenly.

20,000 Yulin foot soldiers, under the command of Zhang Hu and Wang Ping, stopped moving forward and turned to line up; Deng Zhi commanded 10,000 Yulin cavalry, divided into two parts, and placed on the two wings of the infantry phalanx.

Cao Yan looked at it from a distance and smiled.

It is good to say that the Han army did not have cavalry, and it is absolutely correct for the infantry to meet a large group of cavalry on the plain and defend in formation; However, the Han army obviously had tens of thousands of cavalry, and it was supposed to turn around and accelerate to meet the battle immediately, but now they actually chose to stay still; Hehe! Cavalry without speed, not even as good as infantry, just a pile of garbage.

Cao Yancai didn't plan to directly collide with the infantry battle formation, which was a loss; The bows and arrows and strong crossbows fired in the array were very dangerous to the cavalry, and the spears seemed to be not lacking in the Han army; Cao Yan's first goal is to attack the opponent's standing cavalry, foot soldiers, as long as they dare to move, Cao Yan can always find an opportunity to attack.

The beauty of the skinny, Cao Yan, as an ancient person, obviously doesn't understand this topic.

As the distance between the two sides approached rapidly, Cao Yan suddenly noticed something; There seems to be a pile of things piled up in front of the Han army, only to the height of the waist of the Han soldiers, this is a divine horse play? Blocking yourself? Not to mention that Cao Yan didn't have the idea of storming the infantry phalanx, even if he really wanted to rush, this high obstacle didn't make any sense; What's even more ridiculous is that the cavalry of the Han army actually hid far behind the obstacles, but there were sparse foot soldiers in front of them.

The Xiaocai battalion maintained a suitable speed and rushed towards the Han army, and according to Wang Jun's judgment, it was estimated that the speed could reach 40 km/h, and the distance between the two sides was less than 500 meters.

"Accelerate!"

Cao Yan howled excitedly; As long as he and his subordinates lead the horse's head slightly to the left, after more than twenty breaths, he can brush the right flank of the Han army's formation; The Xiaoqi battalion is not only able to stab and cut people, but also one of the unique skills of running horses and opening crossbows, and his father relied on this unique skill to defeat the Kansai Army led by Ma Chao.

"Ignition!"

Almost at the same time, Wang Jun's huge voice resounded across the plain.

After 2 breaths, Cao Yan's smile was gone; Miles wide walls of fire suddenly appeared on the field, and the raging flames cut off their sight; In fact, it was not complicated, the Yulin Army carried some branches, weeds, and fire oil as planned; While lining up in front of the formation, the soldiers just went to the front of the formation, and it didn't take any effort.

The incident happened suddenly, and Cao Yan had no choice but to take his subordinates to slowly turn and reduce his speed; Sudden braking? Zig? These two things are impossible for the cavalry of the brigade that has come up in speed, and they will also be fatal.

Cao Yan secretly rejoiced that this distance was enough, the team would not crash into the wall of fire, and besides, it was daytime, and the war horses were not as afraid of fire as at night; He didn't notice the direction of the wind today, let alone the thick black smoke that was rolling up along with the wall of fire...... And the Yulin sergeant behind the wall of fire actually began to add mud to the fire! Is this setting a fire or putting out a fire?

In spring, the branches and weeds are not so easy to burn, and the smoke is particularly large; After adding oil, combustion is not a problem, but the smoke will only be more intense; After adding dirt...... Not everyone understands this truth, and not everyone will pay attention to it.

The 5,000 horsemen who slowed down were like a long curved snake, horizontal in front of the Han army; At this time, the billowing smoke had completely enveloped Cao Yan and the others, and neither of us nor the enemy could see each other; However, the situation of the two sides, one in the field and the other in the coal kiln, is completely different.

The eyes of the 30,000 Yulin army were full of sympathy, and the billowing smoke rose from the front of the formation, heading towards the northwest, and the southeast wind was the result; The 5,000 bull-nosed roaring Xiaoqi suddenly suffered a great tragedy, and even the people and horses were dizzy, and it was a little difficult to distinguish the direction.

"Whew! …… Ahem! Cough! ”

In the chaos, Cao Yan and the others will notice that there is a ghostly person with a strange mask in the team; Wang Jun's current speed, not to mention the smoke cover, is that the vision is good, and no one can see clearly. The strange mask is nothing more than a U.S. military-standard gas mask; The smoking tin cans on the ground were the tear gas thrown by Wang Jun, and as long as he felt that the smoke was not fierce enough, Wang Jun threw a few.

"Alright, bury it with soil." Not long after, Wang Jun's figure flickered, and he returned to the Yulin army formation with the unconscious Cao Yan in his hand.

At the sound of the order, the Yulin sergeant immediately became busy, and a burst of dirt flew; Soon, the wall of fire was gone, the source of the smoke was also broken, and the smoke that shrouded the Wei army's Xiaocai cavalry camp lost its replenishment and quickly faded, and the figures of the Wei army's horses gradually became clearer.

At this time, Deng Zhi and the others moved.

One person wrapped a wet cloth around his mouth and nose, and Deng Zhi led the Yulin cavalry to trot and rush out of the array; Wei Junxiaoqi, who was full of tears and snot and coughing, had just regained his feelings, and Deng Zhi and they had arrived.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

20,000 feather forest foot soldiers, roaring in unison, like thunder rolling across the sky; As the "murderers" who create smoke, they no longer need to go forward to hunt the enemy, it is enough to be strong and powerful, and remind the confused enemy what to do; In other words, Deng Zhi's cavalry were covered with wet cloths on their mouths, and they didn't seem to be able to shout......
