Specifically, in this campaign, in addition to the 100,000 troops that have now been put into the Yingchuan front, the remaining armies will be roughly divided into three batches and put into battle.

The first reinforcements came from the three counties of Shangdang, Zhongshan and Daijun.

Among them, Shangdang County is the front line for war, with 80,000 soldiers and 30,000 Tuntian soldiers.

And Zhongshan County, because of the existence of the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall, also has 20,000 soldiers plus 10,000 Tuntian soldiers;

As for Dai County, because Jiuyuan County has been annexed, there are only 20,000 Tuntian soldiers;

In total, 160,000 troops, 100,000 soldiers, and 40,000 Tuntian soldiers.

Among the 160,000 troops, 40,000 were left in the direction of Kongcangling in Shangdang County, and the remaining 120,000 troops were all headed for the Yingchuan front.

Among them, Los Angeles, which is the fulcrum of the grain road, has 40,000 garrison soldiers; The rest all drove into Xinzheng City on the Yingchuan front.

This batch of reinforcements has only one goal, to arrive at the front line before the Qin army launches an offensive and enrich the combat power of the front line.

The second batch of reinforcements came from Handan, Hejian, Jibei, and Huaisi Hedong Counties, a total of five counties.

Among them, Handan, as the capital, has a full 50,000 elite troops, as well as 3,000 heavy cavalry led by Zhao Wei;

Dongjun and Huaisi County, because of the pressure of Wei and Qi, had 50,000 and 40,000 armies respectively.

As for Hejian County and Jibei County, they each had 20,000 troops;

The total is 180,000 troops, 120,000 soldiers, and 60,000 Tuntian soldiers.

These 180,000 troops,

Not all of them were prescribed.

Only 20,000 of the 50,000 elite troops in Handan were dispatched, and the remaining 30,000 troops would wait for Lü Buwei's new troops to ensure that the third batch of troops still had combat strength.

At the same time, in Dongjun and Huaisi County, 50,000 troops were left behind to ensure the military pressure on Qi and Wei.

In other words, the second batch of troops will be around 100,000.

The goal of this batch of reinforcements is also very clear, according to the rhythm of the Qin army's attack, the troops will be divided in time to reinforce Xinzheng and Luocheng, so as to withstand the most crazy attack of the Qin army's first wave.

Obviously, this second batch of reinforcements is crucial.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the second batch, Zhao Kuo not only sent Zhao Wei's heavy cavalry, but also let Li Mu personally take command to ensure that the 100,000 army could have enough mobility and flexibility.

Finally, the third batch of support was made up of Handan's 30,000 troops and Lü Buwei's 80,000 troops.

Needless to say, this third batch of reinforcements was intended to be used by the Zhao army to launch a counterattack after the Qin army completed the first wave of attacks.

And this will also be the final blow that Zhao Kuo gave to Qin Jun.

Judging from the overall military deployment, including the 80,000 troops collected by Lü Buwei, for this battle, the Zhao side will use 520,000 troops.

Even if you don't count the 40,000 troops stuck in the direction of Shangdang Kongcangling, or the 50,000 troops in Dongjun and Huaisi County, just in Yingchuan County, the army invested by Zhao State will exceed 430,000.

This terrifying number is actually close to or even more than the Battle of Changping.

With an army of more than 500,000 troops, this is undoubtedly another huge test of Zhao's comprehensive national strength.

Fortunately, today's Zhao State is no longer what it used to be.

After more than two years of accumulation, Zhao Guo's granary has already been refilled, and the rich people of the people are the confidence of Zhao Kuo to dare to fight this decisive battle.

After arranging the military-related matters, Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Pingyuan Jun.

Suddenly, the pressure fell on Pingyuan-kun's body.

"Plains-kun." Zhao Kuo immediately called.

Taking a deep breath, Pingyuan Jun immediately calmed down, looked at Zhao Kuo calmly but resolutely, and said, "Weichen is here." ”

"Two things." Zhao Kuo immediately stretched out two fingers and said.

"The first issue is the issue of military rations." Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and even when he unfolded, he said: "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Roughly calculated, our army will have to invest at least 500,000 troops in this battle, and even as the war progresses, we will continue to recruit troops, and there will be no room for loss in the supply of grain and grass. ”

"My request is that before the troops arrive, the food will arrive, and the food stocks in Xinzheng and Los Angeles on the front line must at least have enough soldiers and horses for three months." Zhao Kuo immediately put forward his own request.

"Wechen understands." Pingyuanjun didn't have any prevarication, and immediately agreed: "This year's autumn grain has been basically put into the warehouse, and at present, the warehouses in various places are basically full, and it is not a problem to support our army in fighting for two to three years just by storing grain." Wechen began to allocate at this time, and he will definitely be able to complete the delivery of food before the arrival of reinforcements. ”

Listening to Ping Yuanjun's affirmative words, Zhao Kuo was also slightly satisfied, but then instructed again: "We have to do a good job for a long time."

Preparations for war, in a word: as long as the Qin State can continue to fight, our army must not have the problem of shortage of grain and grass.

To fight a protracted war with the Qin State, it is not enough to rely on inventory. The large number of young and strong soldiers and the transfer of soldiers from Tuntian will inevitably affect the harvest in the coming year, and the cabinet must also find ways in this regard. ”

"Wechen understands." Pingyuanjun nodded and continued: "Weichen suggests that according to the situation of the field register in the past two years, the state government will fund the regulation and control of the fields, and ensure that the cultivation of the fields is given priority as much as possible. ”

Zhao Kuo, who heard the words, not only did not rest assured, but frowned.

The so-called thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in the anthill, if the hard-to-establish system of acres was destroyed, or even a large-scale land annexation, even if Zhao won this war against Qin, it would lose the future.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo asked quite seriously: "How to regulate it?" People should not be forced to buy or sell land. ”

"You can rent the surplus land of the people in the name of the official family." Pingyuan-kun immediately replied, "Then I will give the upper field to the people who only have the lower field to cultivate." So ......"

Before Pingyuan Jun finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhao Kuo and said: "How can the people have extra land, and which people are willing to rent out the land?" Once the official intervenes, I am afraid that if there is no more redundant, it will become redundant, and Ueda will become Shimoda, and Shimoda will become Ueda. Between the upper and lower hands, the government has more grain in stock, the government has more income, and the gentry can also exploit it, but it has suffered the people. ”

"This?" Pingyuan Jun was a little speechless for a moment, and immediately wanted to explain: "You can send more monitoring envoys, so ......"

"How many people to send,

In order to take care of the land of the ten counties of Zhao State, there are so many idlers, isn't it good to send them to the farmland and send them to the battlefield? Zhao Kuo coldly interrupted Pingyuanjun's thoughts again.

There is no way, it involves the hundred-year plan of Zhao State, even if it is Pingyuanjun, Zhao Kuo can't relax.

"Alright." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, "The people's fields can't be moved no matter what. The land of the military cantonment was handed over to the local government and the people's cantonment was implemented. Whether it is a family or a common people, it can be planted, and the grain produced by the government and the peasant households is seventy-thirds. After three years, the tax is changed to 55, and after 10 years, the land can belong to the peasant households. ”

"Of course, in order to avoid the theft of germplasm farmers." Zhao Kuo then added: "There should be a base amount of grain handed over in from previous years, and the insufficient amount needs to be made up by farmers." Also, in order to avoid the monopoly of the gentry, each household should not exceed ten acres. ”

Obviously, Zhao Kuo's plan is to exchange the fertile land that the country has reclaimed with great difficulty to exchange food with the people.

The absolute risk of the people is the problem of insufficient yield per mu. But even with ten years of harvest, it is worth exchanging the fields of the army.

"This?" When Pingyuanjun heard this, he was still a little hesitant.

Of course, you have to hesitate, it can be said that Zhao Kuo is doing a bad job.

However, rather than letting those acres of land go barren there, Zhao Kuo is more willing to put these acres into the hands of the people. At least in this way, not only can the acres of land be saved, but also the enthusiasm of the people can be mobilized.

Of course, it is inevitable that the local gentry will definitely find a way to allocate more land to their own names.

However, such losses are only in the interests of the state and will not result in large-scale land annexation. That's it too

stabilized the basic plate of Zhao Guo.

As long as the basic situation is not messy, some gentry are not difficult to deal with.

The reason is very simple, it is not terrible to make the common people's national fortune, but what is terrible is to put the greedy hand into the pocket of the national government, that is, to die.

When the war is over, he will replace the officials in various places, and the new officials will immediately make many gentry understand: what can be taken and what cannot be taken.

From this point of view, where is Zhao Kuo exchanging acres of land for grain, this is clearly using acres of land to distinguish inside and outside!

Those who obey orders and get ten acres of land in one house are good comrades who share worries for the country, and earning a little is also a reward for this loyalty;

As for those who take advantage of the fact that the national war has no time to take care of and try by all means to win the interests of the country, they are naturally dissidents who need to be eliminated.

In this way, the settlement of accounts after the autumn is justified.

Soon, Pingyuan-kun also realized this.

Since the loss is not large, and the internal cancer can be removed, why not?

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, the king, I know what to do." ”

"Okay." Zhao Kuo also nodded, and then continued: "The second thing is the issue of diplomacy. ”

"Of course, the best case scenario is that the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Chu will attack Qin together with my Zhao State, but in such a situation, it is almost impossible." Without waiting for Pingyuan Jun to speak, Zhao Kuo analyzed: "Even, such a large-scale action of the Qin State is very likely to have persuaded one or even more countries. ”

"Therefore, what I ask for diplomacy is." Zhao Kuo then looked at the map and pointed at it

Looking at the countries on the map, he said: "Guarantee the state of Chu and fight for Qi Wei." ”
