Chapter 501: Finally the Best of Both Worlds
Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin glanced at each other, and the two of them looked sad and sad, but Luo Shixin had a lot of ideas, and after rolling his eyes, he stood up with an impassioned look. "There will be a plan in the end."
"Oh? Brother Shixin said it quickly, so that everyone could take a closer look. Ben Gongzi stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a pleasant face.
"Hehe, the last general thinks that let General Wei make an offensive posture in the land west of the river to attract Xue Renguo's attention, and then the last general will lead the headquarters to ride through Longxi and attack Qinzhou directly." Luo Shixin stammered at first, but later on, he spoke smoothly.
"Shixin, your subordinates are just a Praetorian Cavalry Division, do you think you can take Qinzhou with the strength of one division?" I touched my chin and said unhurriedly.
"My Chinese Revival Army is invincible, invincible, and Qinzhou, how can it be done." Luo Shixin had a stiff neck, looking like an iron-blooded warrior.
"Nonsense!" General Qu Tutong finally couldn't help it, and glared at this guy and said angrily. "With a division of men and horses, a surprise attack on Qinzhou, the old man asked you, if Xue Renguo finds out about your actions, how should you deal with it, Qinzhou City has thick walls, and your first division of cavalry has no siege equipment, what do you use to attack Qinzhou? Should the soldiers dig the gates with their blades, or should they let their horses build high walls for the soldiers to trample into the city? ”
Hearing this, Luo Shixin grinned for a long time, his face flushed, and he couldn't hold back a fart, and the people in the hall laughed even more happily.
I patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder. "Although this policy is difficult to implement, it seems that Brother Shixin still works hard and hard." Hearing this, Luo Shixin couldn't help but show a grateful expression, bowed deeply to me, and sat down in his place.
Then, my eyes fell on Li Xuanba, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and a monkey's ass was on fire. "Brother Xuanba, don't make such a perfunctory gesture, or quickly tell me your good strategy? So that everyone can see it. Cheng Yanjin leaned over with a look of schadenfreude and squeezed his eyebrows at Li Xuanba.
Damn, I know that this product is not a good bird, and his favorite thing to do is to fall into the well.
Li Xuanba was stunned for a long time, and then he actually came up with a sentence: "Or, transfer Uncle Pei and them to help General Wei." ”
"Huh?" Ben Gongzi couldn't help but be stunned, don't say it's me, everyone in the hall was stunned. Syllable! Li Jing slapped himself on the thigh. "Good! This strategy is very good, why didn't we think of this strong team guarding Tongguan? ”
The generals who fought for a vote with foam on their mouths finally came back to their senses and showed a sudden look. That's right, the Tiger Prison Army of Pei Renji and his son, who guarded Tongguan, and the Seventh Army were definitely elite, and in the past, because they wanted to blockade Guanzhong, they all stuffed the elite of these two armies in Tongguan, just in case we were not able to occupy the entire territory of Guanzhong, and were attacked by the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong and the Eastern Capital.
Now the entire pass is in my hands, and outside Tongguan, first Li Mi and the remnants of the Sui soldiers and horses in the eastern capital were choked to death, and then Li Mi was fooled by Yang Tong and others to follow Yu Wenhua and strangled to death. Then, it was Wang Shichong and Li Mi who fought to death.
Although Li Mi is now defeated and has become a lost dog and fled to Shanxi, where Li Yuan is located, it will take a lot of time for Wang Shichong to recover all the newly swallowed Wagang Army territory, and although Wang Shichong is better than Li Mi, he has also suffered a lot of losses.
In addition, he collected so many remnants of the Wagang Army and wanted the entire army and horses, which was a very long thing, plus Li Mi, who defected to Li Yuan, stared at the south with both eyes, looking at Luoyang, Wang Shichong would never have the courage to provoke this son at this time.
Then, now that the two elite legions that have been in battle for a long time are placed in Tongguan, it is indeed too wasteful, if they go north to join forces with Wei Yunqi, it will inevitably make Wei Yunqi's strength greatly increased, and he will be able to have greater confidence when seizing the land of Western Qin.
After a heated and eager discussion, everyone agreed that the mobilization of the Tiger Prison Army and the Seventh Army was definitely a stroke of genius and a feasible strategy. With these nearly 30,000 elite divisions joining, Wei Yunqi's unhappiness and madness already showed that he was nervous.
In addition, Pei Renji is strict in governing the army, and his son Pei Yuanqing is brave and good at fighting, and he is quite compatible with Nawei Yunqi, and he will go to help in the war, and there will be no command problems.
In addition to the new 21st Army, two additional garrison divisions will be able to defend the Tongguan Pass as solid as gold, plus the cement straight road to Tongguan has been repaired to the end, from Chang'an to Tongguan is only two hundred and sixty or seventy miles away, in case there is really a strong enemy to attack, the elite Janissaries guarding Chang'an only need three days of effort, if the army is transported by cavalry and carriages, Then it only takes less than a day to rush to Tongguan for reinforcements.
Now that it is good, both the southbound and northbound factions have all praised and strongly supported it, believing that in this way, without affecting the southward advance, the strength of the northern route army will be greatly increased, and it can completely fight on both sides, and it will not affect the original strategy.
"Well, if that's the case, then it's decided. Hehe, Brother Xuanba is really good, he can actually think of such a good strategy, it seems that he is not talking nonsense here. Ben Gongzi slapped Li Xuanba on the shoulder who was quietly wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and smiled.
Li Xuanba's head was like a chicken pecking rice. "That's, how dare the little brother brag nonsense......" The look of escaping death with palpitations suddenly provoked a burst of good-natured laughter.
And hearing the news, Fang Xuanling's face wrinkled almost like the bitter gourd that had been pickled for many years, if nothing else, because he was now the head of the General Logistics Department. Well, this is also one of his part-time jobs.
Originally, it was just a battle, but now, although there is still a time lag between the two sides, the problem is that he has to mobilize so many characters and material resources at once, which is enough for him to have a headache. If you don't complete this task, you can give him more bonuses.
After determining the strategy, Ben Gongzi signed a military order, ordering the newly organized 21st Army, the 55th and 56th Garrison Divisions to assemble within three days, and rush to Tongguan to change defenses. After the Tiger Prison Army and the Seventh Army completed the change of defense, they rushed straight to the land of Hexi to assemble, obeyed Wei Yunqi's general orders, and implemented the battle plan of attacking the land of Western Qin and opening up the Silk Road.
As for the army on the southern route, it will still be assembled according to the original plan, and the second, fifth, sixth, and eighth armies and the newly formed fifteenth army will assemble in Chang'an and go straight along the cement straight road to attack Shuzhong. And those who remained in Chang'an were the Praetorian Guards and the Fourth Army, as well as two garrison divisions.
The establishment of the Praetorian Guard is much larger than that of ordinary armies, and the Praetorian Guard has three infantry divisions, each division is organized according to four or four, that is, the establishment is still a group of ten people, a team of 100 people, and then from then on, every four teams are a battalion, every four battalions are a regiment, every four regiments are a division, and there is also a division for the Praetorian Guards Cavalry Division, which is also organized according to four or four, and a cavalry division has nearly 7,000 elite cavalry. Li Xuanba is currently serving as the commander of the Praetorian Cavalry Division.
The second army was commanded by Qu Tutong, the former third army, which is now the Hexi Army, is the commander of Wei Yunqi, and the fourth army is Yaoguang Meizi, the fifth army is Han Shige, the sixth army is Qin Qiong, the seventh army is Pei Yuanqing, the eighth army is Cheng Yanjin, and the Tiger Prison Army is Pei Renji.
In addition to these most elite field armies, there were still seven armies equipped with Sui Dynasty armaments and armor, and most of the officers and soldiers were the original Sui army, for example, the three new armies belonged to this category.
In addition, Yang Gongdao served as the commander of the garrison headquarters, and his subordinates are currently two garrison divisions, full-time responsible for public security in and around Chang'an City. In addition, each county has a garrison battalion, and each county will have a garrison.
In Hancheng County, there is a garrison division, and there is also a naval division fleet stationed in it, after all, it is the old nest of this son, and there is absolutely no room for the slightest mistake.
With the Praetorian Guard and the Garrison Headquarters responsible for the security of Chang'an and the surrounding areas, and the garrison soldiers and horses in various places responsible for maintaining stability, the soldiers and horses under the command of this son are about 240,000, and among them, including the Praetorian Guard, garrison divisions and brigades, the garrison is about 70,000.
With Guanzhong, the counties of Yan'an in the northwest, plus the land of Hexi, the territory under the hands of this prince has a population of more than 5,787,300 people, well, this is the total number of people obtained after re-checking Guanzhong and the hidden households in various places.
As for the field census, it has been re-launched, and strive to complete the work in the summer of next year, but as far as the fields around Chang'an are currently clarified, Mei County alone, in the year of the Great Cause, the total number of fields clarified is 2,8075 hectares, that is, 287,500 acres, but after the prince cleaned up the wealthy families of Ganyi County, it was strictly re-examined and clarified.
In a small county alone, there are nearly 50,000 acres of hidden fields, and the ratio of hidden fields to actual fields is close to one-fifth. There are 852 hidden households, totaling more than 4,000 people, accounting for nearly one-tenth. After hearing the news, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but shudder, no wonder those family lords were so resistant to the official gentry paying for food, the reason is that these guys not only occupy a large amount of land, but also collude with the gentry to conceal or underreport the land.
According to this estimate, at least nearly one-fifth of the fields in the entire Guanzhong are hidden fields, and about one-tenth of the population is hidden households, and the hidden households have been roughly figured out, but the clarification of the hidden fields is slowly progressing, and many family gate lords know that they cannot fight by force after seeing the end of the rebels in Hanzhong and Yixian, and are currently trying to carry out soft violence to block them.
However, I believe that in the face of a strong military force, all their resistance and obstruction will be useless.
Now, under the rule of this son, he supports an army of 240,000 with a population of more than 5.7 million, which is definitely a terrifyingly high ratio in later generations.
