Chapter 176: The Purpose of the Xia Kingdom
Without food and grass, it is impossible to win a war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Everyone knows this, and the analysis of the two revolves around the problem of insufficient productivity in Xia Guo, which can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
If there were no egrets, the logistical strength of the Xia Kingdom itself would not be able to support foreign wars at all. There is no doubt about that. However, there are so many miraculous and unreasonable situations in the world. The egret solved the problem of food and grass, and with the full support of the Huofeng Army, there was no problem with the army and logistics of this operation.
The egret took a breath and was about to speak, but a voice suddenly interjected.
"Ridiculous. Zhou An shook his head and looked at the two with contempt.
"Whether Xia Guo fights Chu State or not, that's a matter of Xia Guo having the final say, but it's not a matter of what the two of you say. Zhou An retorted fiercely, "The annihilation of the border army by the Xia State is already in a state of momentum and unstoppability, and the other party is not going to attack our Chu State in one go, do you have to wait for my Chu State to set up a border army to defend it before coming?"
To be honest, Zhou An himself has no real talent and learning, and he is just refutating Zhang Changyan by saying this. This person is so smug that he can't see anyone making a big fuss in front of him, especially in front of a beautiful woman like Liu's family, because he didn't think about it so much, he just said what he wanted to say.
"Zhou An, what you said is a joke. Zhang Changyan smiled coldly, "Do you think that the major events of the attack can be decided by attitude? Xia Guo wants soldiers but no soldiers, and there is no food for food. Why did you come to fight in my Chu State? Do you think that the high walls of the fifteen county towns and the two major state capitals on my border were erected in vain?"
"Oh, you know or I know. Now whether it is a county town or a state capital, without the border army, the total number of city defense troops is less than 30,000. There is no need to send more than the state of Chu, 50,000 people will cross the border to attack, and they will ask me to eat a pot on the border. "Zhou Annai is the son of the city commander of the Daimyo Mansion, so he naturally knows the strength of the army, so he uses this to fight back. "Besides, this egret on the side of the Xia State is newly arriving, and the so-called new official took office with three fires, not to fight against our Chu State, and to repel the border army, why don't you go back to the royal capital, but instead set up an army on the border of the Xia State, and the soldiers are all over the place. It's not for the purpose of attacking my Chu State, what's it for?"
Oh, this is really a fool's thousand worries.
Even the egret was surprised that Zhou An could think of this point, and Zhang Changyan and the others didn't expect Zhou An to be able to say such a reasonable truth, and they were shocked and found that they were indeed lacking in consideration.
However, the two themselves do not deal with the children of nobles like Zhou An, so they naturally will not admit each other's statements.
Zhao Xifeng said: "This egret caused such a loss at the border pass, I think Xia Guo is asking him to make meritorious service and appease the victims." What do you say about attacking my Chu State, how can it be so simple. You have no conditions to support this prediction on the basis of this. It is an objective fact that the logistical forces of the other side are insufficient. ā
"Logistical, logistical. You're endless!" Zhou An said with an unhappy face, "Xia Guo has no grain and grass, can't you rob it?!"
"Rob?" Zhang Changyan laughed out loud, "Where do you rob it?" The three major granaries of the Daming Mansion of my Chu State are all built in the important places of the military town. Xia Guo wants to rob it, I'm afraid I can't even find the door!Zhou An, are you joking?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou An's face turned red with anger, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Changyan, and he was about to have a seizure. But everyone Liu coughed lightly on the side, and suddenly dispersed the momentum of Zhou An'an's body. Zhou An didn't want to lose his demeanor in front of the Liu family, but he was so angry that he stood in place, extremely embarrassed.
Seeing that the time had come, the egret slowly opened his mouth.
"I just listened to the high arguments of Zhang Wenshi and Zhao Wenshi. I think the two of them really deserve to be the young heroes of my Chu country. This statement is so coherent that I can't find anything wrong with it at all. I think that if Xia Guo really fights, the two of them will definitely be able to hinder them with this high theory, so they may not be able to make meritorious contributions. ā
If you start first, Zhang Changyan will still feel happy, but the second half of the sentence will turn around, but it will be a direct humiliation, which instantly makes Zhang Changyan's face change color.
"Master Lu, you can say it directly. Such personal attacks are not necessary. I believe that Zhang Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi are indeed good for my Chu country, and their loyalty does not need to be expressed. "Everyone Liu came out to be a peacemaker, and the timing was just right. She could see that Zhou An and the two of them did not deal with each other, and now that she had help, she was afraid that things would go wrong, so she comforted her.
"Okay, then I'll have something to say. The egret smiled slightly and nodded at Zhou An, "I agree with Zhou Gongzi's statement." Xia Guomo has gone through all his ranks, invited a new marshal to take office, and sent his well-known military advisor Bai Lu to lead the army, definitely not to be safe with my Chu State. ā
"There is not enough food and grass, and logistics are weak. Or Zhang Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi are right, but Zhou Gongzi is not wrong. This grain and grass is insufficient, but it can be grabbed!"
"Ridiculous, ignorant!" Zhang Changyan said angrily, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the egret again.
"You're the one who is ignorant. Bai Lu shook his head, "Who told you that the granary of my Chu State is heavy, and only the three granaries of Daming Mansion can be robbed?" What Zhou Gongzi said just now was right, but he didn't explain where to rob, why are you in a hurry to refute?"
"Then tell me, what is the goal of Xia Guo?" Zhao Xifeng couldn't help it, and scolded him.
"Simple. If the Xia State wants to attack our Chu State, the other party is short of food and suffers from logistical replenishment, so it will inevitably streamline the government and send the elite to pass the test. The target is not the granary of my Daming Mansion, but the border armament and grain land, the Hanguan Valley!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was obviously stunned.
Zhou An's mouth opened slightly, and then he was overjoyed, and shouted: "That's right, that's right! That's what I mean! The border army suffered heavy losses! Han Hu's Han border army also suffered heavy losses, and it was completely powerless to resist the Xia army's attack around the pass! This valley with heavy grain and grass will definitely be difficult to defend!"
did not come to the Daming Mansion guarded by the Li Haibian Army, but went to the Han Pass where Han Hu was still there. This is something that no one can imagine. But the feasibility is real.
Liu's eyes also lit up, and looking at the egret was as if they had seen some rare treasure.
"Master Lu, please tell me in detail. ā
Bai Lu hehe, "What else can I say in detail, the Xia army is not a fool, and the Egret army is a genius who first annihilated the grassland and then flooded the border army of my Chu State." I don't believe that he can't think of this, the big city of Chu is difficult to attack, and in the state of lack of food, it is impossible to maintain the army to attack the cities of our Daming Mansion, but General Han's Han border army is now undefended. Originally, General Han's elite was only more than 50,000 people, and now those left are all veterans and recruits, and there are not a few generals left. How did you resist the elite attack of the Xia Kingdom?"
"I took the valley, and there was enough grain and grass to feed an army of 100,000. This Xia country has grain and grass, and the army is like a rainbow. If you take away the fifteen counties and two states of my Daming Mansion again, can it still be difficult to do it?"
