readx;?? At the end of this meeting, no one would say anything else at the meeting, that is, to deal with Xiang Yu's three or four hundred thousand Chu troops outside Hangu Pass through a head-to-head duel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not that Zhang Jiashi can't do this even if he concentrates on all the troops in Shangjun, Beidi County, Neishi Zhiguan and Longxi County, but what are the benefits of doing so.

Obviously, it is possible to concentrate nearly 200,000 troops, but it is not only costly, but it is also quite time-consuming and impractical to concentrate these troops to face the Chu army head-on.

The cost is very large, referring to more than 200,000 military strength of grain and logistics, which is obviously not a small amount, and it is very important that Zhang Jiashi and others do not think that before the autumn harvest, they can transfer so much grain and equipment through Liaodong County.

Although the Liaodong County area has been well developed, and the income can also have a certain surplus, it does not mean that Zhang Jiashi can support the long-term consumption of about 200,000 troops with the previous grain stockpile.

Wasting time means that if the defenders in these places start to be mobilized from now on, I am afraid that there will not be half a month or even a month to assemble, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to mobilize the corresponding personnel.

Impracticality means that these troops cannot be mobilized at will, especially the troops of Longxi County, Beidi County and Shangjun County, which mainly correspond to the three forces of the Qiang, Dayue and Xiongnu.

Once these troops are deployed, in the unlikely event that one of the three forces takes advantage of the situation, I am afraid that these border counties will not even be able to prepare to react.

Maybe there is no time for the two forces of the Huns and the Dayue clan to take care of anything else now, after all, according to Gao Jian's statement, that is, a war is breaking out between the Huns and the Dayue clan.

Zhang Jiashi was relieved at the same time as such a news, he couldn't help but feel a headache, that is, the Dayue clan certainly attracted the firepower of the Huns, but as Zhang Jiashi expected, Touman Shan Yu's small life is estimated to be over, and the current Xiongnu Shan Yu is likely to be a difficult opponent to deal with in the history of the Huns, which is even more famous than Shan Yu in later generations.

As the head of the most outstanding Shan Yu of the Huns, both the head of the Xiongnu power and the Yizhi Evil Shan Yu who made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel very headache (The trouble brought by the Yizhi Evil Shan Yu to the Han Dynasty is not comparable to the military minister Shan Yu, especially when the Yi Zhi Evil Shan Yu was in power, the national strength of the Xiongnu has declined a lot. ), can not compare with each other, not to mention the series of Huns after that.

Although Mao Dun Shan Yu did not officially destroy a huge force, if Mao Dun Shan Yu had not been killed, maybe the Han Dynasty would not have had to play any peace measures.

So Zhang Jiashi had to have a headache about this.

He couldn't risk being driven straight by the Huns and send the garrisons in the corresponding area to deal with the Chu army. Once there is a problem because of this, Zhang Jiashi thinks that he has no place to cry.

In this case, Zhang Jiashi could only personally lead the army into Sanchuan County, looking for an opportunity to let Xiang Yu retreat without a fight.

......

Of course, to achieve this, there is another premise, that is, Hangu Pass cannot afford to lose.

After discussion, Han Xin, Jiang Lie, and Gao Jian's troops went to Hangu Pass to assist in the defense after a corresponding period of rest.

The defense of the area around Xianyang was handed over to Nangong Period, Xiahou Ying and Dubu, or Yingbu, a guy with a name that surprised Zhang Jiashi very much, to carry out the corresponding garrison.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi really didn't think that Duo Bu was Yingbu, of course, he didn't think such a thing was a bad thing.

If it weren't for the urgent need for the prisoner army to recover, this operation would be very difficult to do in terms of the configuration of the prisoner army, and I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi would have asked Yingbu to command this operation.

Wang Li's troops stationed in Wuguan should not be moved lightly for a while. Although the defense capability of Wuguan has decreased a lot now, even Wang Li does not think that Liu Bangjun wants to easily capture Wuguan again, which is a problem that can be easily done.

paid such a big price to beat Liu Bang, the bastard, away, Zhang Jiashi didn't want to give such a chance again, so that Liu Bang could once again peek into Guanzhong, a territory that Zhang Jiashi could not let go of.

Obviously, Wang Li could not command this operation either. As Zhang Jiashi said, the most suitable person for this operation, except for Wang Li, is him.

Han Xin's ability to do this, there should be no problem, but Han Xin's prestige is far inferior to Wang Li, let alone compared to him as the boss. If you want to command the knight troops that have been drawn from the corresponding units and regrouped, there may be problems.

There are a lot of horse farms within Zhang Jiashi's forces, and the military horses are relatively sufficient, but it does not mean that there are a large number of cavalry if there are horses. You know, it takes a long time to train a passing knight, both in terms of investment and time.

Of course, if Zhang Jiashi wanted to, he could naturally be concise and train a large number of mounted infantry in a year or so.

But Zhang Jiashi didn't think he wanted such a thing to be useful.

The mounted infantry is not a regular knight, but a special infantry unit that is considered highly mobile, but inferior to traditional infantry in various configurations.

At the very least, Zhang Jiashi's gradual popularization and replacement of equipment of hoplites to train a mounted infantry is meaningless.

Even if this kind of mounted infantry may have a certain effect on the internal turmoil of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi does not think that such a thing has enough combat capability against nomads like the Huns.

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi did not want his current large amount of investment, and when the time came, he would really have to fight the Huns, and these horseback infantry units, which were not small, would directly become a pile of cannon fodder.

What Zhang Jiashi needed was a knight who could deal with regular combat, not the kind of mounted infantry that could be regarded as useless in a sense.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi's operation this time can only draw a certain number of knights from other troops to assemble again and form a knight army.

Because of his current descendants, the number of cavalry is not too much. Even if Su Jiao, who is located in Liaodong County, received an order to immediately train a knight army of about 15,000 people, if he wants to let this knight force go to the battlefield, there is no need to count on it for a year and a half.

Suffice it to say, if this operation is messed up...... So for Zhang Jiashi, it's really a nightmare.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After several days of preparation, on May 13, 207 BC, Zhang Jiashi led his army from a temporary military camp in the east of Xianyang City to move eastward.

This force, numbering 40,000 people, was the team of Jiang Lie, Kong Gang and Zhang Jiashi.

Of course, the goal of Jiang Lie and Kong Gang was not to follow Zhang Jiashi on the expedition, but to support Hangu Pass.

The Chu army's offensive against Hangu Pass is becoming more and more fierce, but for Hangu Pass, which is already quite strong, Xiang Yu needs to increase his strength if he wants to capture Hangu Pass with the army in his hand.

And Zhang Jiashi himself thinks that if things continue to develop like this, it will be bad for them.

Although it is said that as a defensive side, Huan Feng, Ruan Weng Shao and others are indeed quite advantageous, but the casualties brought to them by the Chu army are also quite heavy, in such a situation, Zhang Jiashi wants to completely put his hope on Hangu Pass, and he himself feels that such an idea is quite unreliable.

Because in contrast to the large number of cannon fodder under Xiang Yu's command, the troops he used to defend and lose had a considerable number of regular troops.

Of course, both of them can be regarded as consumables, but those who basically know how to use weapons and the captured strong men are easier to replenish than the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command.

Zhang Jiashi has not complained about one thing, that is, the corresponding materials consumed in Hanguguan now are more of the corresponding materials transported by Zhang Jiashi from Jixian County and even Liaodong Military Construction.

The military supplies stored inside Hangu Pass have long been consumed in the offensive and defensive battles of the past few months.

In order to alleviate the pressure in this regard, Zhang Jiashi had to send corresponding personnel to recruit craftsmen at such a time, and once again put the military construction headquarters of Daqin, which had been emptied, about 20 miles southwest of Ganquan Palace, into production again.

And if you want this military base to be put into production as soon as possible, you can only follow the original corresponding production standards of Daqin military manufacturing for weapon production.

Such a situation is not a good thing for Zhang Jiashi, because the current Liaodong Army itself has formed a new specification process of the assembly line, and the bigger problem is that the ordnance standards of Zhang Jiashi's Liaodong Army are a little different from the standards between the Great Qin Empire.

But things are in a hurry, so Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well. At present, it is not a good way to adopt the standard of Liaodong military construction to deal with the production plan of Guanzhong military construction.

What made Zhang Jiashi feel a little comforting was that these craftsmen who were drawn from the army and recruited from the people were indeed able to put the Great Qin military into production soon. Cao Shen didn't think that such a situation was a bad thing, and Zhang Jiashi could only deal with the signal of this operation first, and chose the plan to rectify the situation in Guanzhong at the right time.

......

According to a document provided by Chen Ping's subordinate intelligence officers, if you want to enter Guanzhong from the mountains south of Hangu Pass, the road is very difficult to walk, and basically for a long time, you can only march from the mountains.

Such a situation is not a good thing for Zhang Jiashi, because a long march means one thing, that is, the amount of grain and grass carried and the corresponding materials cannot be carried too much.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that these two problems were unavoidable, and he himself felt that one was the first and two big, but it was even more impossible for him to directly break through the tent of the Chu army outside the Hangu Pass, and then enter the Kwantung region.

Such a thing is impossible to do with your knees.

Therefore, choosing to march from the mountain path seems to be an inevitable choice.

Of course, there are two more routes to the march that were directly vetoed by Zhang Jiashi:

The first is to go out from Wuguan, and after defeating Liu Bang's army again, go north from Nanyang County to Sanchuan County.

Not to mention how big a detour such a road is, just wanting to count on the more than 10,000 knights under his command and the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers under Wang Li's command to solve Liu Bangjun, Zhang Jiashi has not had such a big idea.

Even if he took 10,000 steps back, he could really beat Liu Bang away, but Zhang Jiashi didn't dare to imagine how much combat strength the officers and soldiers who had gone through the fierce battle.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi directly vetoed such a road.

The second route is to cross the river from several small ferries in the southern part of Kami-gun, and then take Heseo-gun and head south to Kanto Road.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think he could succeed in this matter.

He forcibly crossed the river from the south of Shang County into Hanoi County, and it was not a big problem, but even the situation in Hanoi County was not too bad, and those small princes and the leaders of the small rebel army did not dare to stop him at all, and how he crossed the river again was a very serious problem.

He didn't think he could easily cross the river and reach Sanchuan County without taking control of the upper reaches of the river.

Contrary to this idea, that is, he can really find so many ferries, but the enemy sailors on the river can teach him a truth in minutes, what is called half-crossing and attacking them.

Therefore, under such a premise, the idea of crossing the river in Kuhara-gun in the north ...... Naturally, it was directly vetoed by Zhang Jiashi.

Therefore, if you really want to be more serious, crossing the Yanlian Mountains and then leaving the western part of Sanchuan County is the most suitable road for Zhang Jiashi.

It is also the only route that is actually possible.

......

Although, it would be safer to send someone to explore the road ahead before setting off.

But Zhang Jiashi thinks that he does not have time to wait another month or two, or even something that may not get any results.

Against all odds, he insisted that he would lead his army to find such a path.

Zhang Jiashi himself felt very helpless, because he felt that he had been cheated for such a thing.

Because the Great Qin Empire used troops in the Kwantung region, it was basically to go out of Wuguan (mainly to attack the Chu State, and in the Battle of Yanying, a Qin army also went south from Wuguan. ), out of the letter Guguan (the most important route of the march, after the battle of the Fifth Battle of Hexi, the Qin army sent troops to the eastern part of the country, and there are ** to take this route), and there are also routes from the banks of the river and land and water.

Compared with Zhang Jiashi's practice today, it can indeed be regarded as a precedent for creating a route for the Qin army to send troops to Guanzhong.

At the very least, Zhang Jiashi really did not find any record of large-scale Qin army troops doing this.

......

In order to deal with the corresponding problems of this marching route, Zhang Jiashi still made a lot of corresponding preparations.

For example, each officer and soldier was given a small box of ointment that could repel mosquitoes and insects. The effect and cost of this ointment are not a problem, the problem is that it is a little difficult to refine, at least after Zhang Jiashi makes this ointment mass-produced, the amount of ointment that can be obtained is still quite small.

At the very least, this ointment did consume all the output that Zhang Jiashi got after going south to the Guanzhong area.

If you get mosquito-infected malaria or something at such a time, then it's a big problem.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also asked some knight medical workers to equip some serum or something...... Well, whether this serum works or not, or whether it will kill people or something, Zhang Jiashi himself remains silent.

Because Zhang Jiashi is not an immortal, although he did find a relatively primitive serum production plan, and made syringes or something.

However, the serum is not a panacea, because even if it is a compound serum of later generations, the types of snake venom that can be dealt with are only a few relatively common. In such a situation, the serum that Zhang Jiashi asked these medical workers to carry with him was more of a psychological comfort.

Originally, in Zhang Jiashi's eyes, the most difficult needle was actually quite difficult. Sure, the aperture of this needle still looks a bit thick, but for a craftsman who can make a gold wire that is less than five microns, this needle has an aperture of about one millimeter......

Zhang Jiashi himself was indeed sweating, but there was no better choice than it.

Perhaps, the technique of the iron rolling method can improve this problem, but at this time, even the most skilled craftsman known to Zhang Jiashi could not do this kind of thing.

Of course, the biggest problem is not that the needle looks a little thick, but that, according to Zhang Jiashi's assessment, this needle is easy to oxidize, after all, this needle is operated by hand with molten iron.

Zhang Jiashi could only think of such a situation, and only be able to get these craftsmen to switch to silver as a raw material.

After all, silver is more difficult to oxidize than iron, so why do that?

It's very simple, Zhang Jiashi doesn't want to promote this kind of thing in the future, which will make people get tetanus or something......

In addition to that ointment and the kind of serum that Zhang Jiashi felt was a little unreliable no matter how he thought about it, Zhang Jiashi also brought an anti-wolf artifact......

Of course, this kind of wolf is not a pervert or anything, but the kind of "aborigines" who are very common in the mountains and mountains of this world, that is, the wolf pack as the saying goes.

Encountering a large pack of wolves in the mountains and forests is not a good thing even for a large army.

And this anti-wolf artifact is naturally the white wolf that followed Zhang Jiashi.

After Yingxi and the others returned to Shuangyi, the nine-tailed fox said goodbye and left, and the white wolf continued to live in their home.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi's family, who are accustomed to the existence of white wolves, have no opinions.

As for whether the white wolf has the ability to keep the wolves from approaching, Zhang Jiashi expressed optimism about this point.

But no matter what, after Zhang Jiashi thought that everything was completely ready, the army under Zhang Jiashi's command, under the leadership of Zhang Jiashi, went to a future road of undetermined fortune and misfortune.
