"General. The Mengyuan people have weakened. Our next goal is to attack Gwangcheon Province. Feng Chong couldn't bear it, raised his head, and said with his fists clenched.

This time the battle.

All the generals have merit. Especially Wei Xiang, a female streamer, actually repelled Wan Yanxian. And he, a dignified general, was arranged to guard his home, which was too special and condescending.

Next time, he must be the main force, capture the flag, and shock Liaodong.

Wu Nian put away the thoughts in his heart and looked at Feng Chong with a smile.

The attack on Gwangcheon Province is a cliché.

Gwangcheon Province. It has a coastline.

Yingqing Province is a mountainous area, and the grain production is actually not high. The reason why he can feed so many troops now is because the people are supporting him.

Eat frugally, and take out the export grain to feed the army.

There is a large iron mine, which can produce weapons and armor.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It's all good.

But there are also many disadvantages. For example, it does not produce horses, nor does it produce salt. Easy to be controlled. If you capture Gwangcheon Province.

You can raise horses, and you also have access to the sea.

You can also boil sea boiled salt.

Gwangcheon Prefecture is a place of progress. In the past, the civil and military forces had disagreements. Whether to seize Yingqing Mansion first, or attack Guangchuan Mansion first.

Now that the Yingqing Mansion is already in hand, the Gwangcheon Mansion is of course the next target.

And.

There is another benefit to Guangchuan Province.

Wu Nian reached into his arms, took out a map and put it on the coffee table to watch. Gwangcheon, Gwangyang, and Hwanglong are three provinces.

They are of course contiguous, but they don't make up a large area. Rather, it is an arc, which can also be seen as a snake.

Huanglongfu is the head, Guangyangfu is the body, and Guangchuanfu is the tail.

It was very troublesome to transfer grain from Mengyuan and reach Guangchuan Province. Moreover, the defense of Guangchuan Mansion is the weakest, and there is currently only Hou Wancheng and 10,000 households.

Guangyang Mansion has two thousand households, Jin Ruiyun and Wanyanxian.

There are 60,000 households in Huanglong Province.

As long as you send elite soldiers and strong generals, you can block the enemy's reinforcements. Gather a large army and attack Gwangcheon Province. You can take it down in one battle.

This is the place to enter.

"Good idea. But put it down first. As the saying goes. Iron must be its own. Now we have just captured Yingqing Mansion, and I have attacked the land of Mengyuan again, and the soldiers have suffered serious losses. ”

"Surrenders, recruits, Zhao Yanting, etc. The establishment of the army is chaotic, and the combat effectiveness is not a rabble, but it is not much better. ”

"How can you fight with the nine thousand households of Mengyuan?"

"First of all, the army should be reorganized, and the army should be expanded appropriately. It's not too late to hit Guangchuan Mansion again. Take one step at a time, walk steadily. ”

Wu Nian glanced at Feng Chong, his expression calm.

It's not like it was then. Back then, he was a gambler, and he talked about the big with the small. Now you can play it safe and don't have to take any risks.

Feng Chong was not convinced, and said, "Why bother so much. As long as the general appoints me as the commander in chief and gives me four lieutenants, I can help the general take down Gwangcheon Province. ”

"Give you four lieutenants? Isn't it five of you plus yourself? Shall I take three captains to resist the pure distance of the Huanglong Mansion? ”

"Besides. Xiong Wuyi is ill-intentioned. Wu Nian glanced at Feng Chong, and his tone became stern.

Feng Chong was still not convinced, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't continue to find fault.

Wu Nian was right.

"Knowing and doing. Take out the population roster, and let's discuss how many soldiers we can expand. After suppressing this thorn, Wu Nian raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing.

"Yes." Liu Zhixing was prepared, took out a fold from the wide sleeve on the right, stood up and handed it to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian opened the fold and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly.

Wu Nian believes in Liu Zhixing's ability.

He can't be wrong about the numbers. However, the actual population of Yingqingfu is now far from the expected value of Wu Nian.

The current population of Yingqing Province is six counties. The male and female population was 723,638.

The original population of the three counties was more than 420,000. Now three more counties have been added, but the population has only increased by 300,000.

The size of the population directly determines how much grain is produced and how many soldiers can be fed.

If it is possible, Wu Nian wants to do it in one step. The captains under his command directly became ten thousand households, and each of them commanded ten thousand households.

There are 100,000 people in eight lieutenants.

But this population is .......

"I originally had eight captains. I plan to promote Zhao Yanting to lieutenant. In this way, there are nine lieutenants. ”

"Including Feng Chong's cavalry. I plan to expand the strength of each lieutenant to 6,000 households. What do you think? ”

Wu Nian thought for a while, raised his head and looked at the people present, took out a tone of discussion, and said in a deep voice.

There were at least 1,200 soldiers from a thousand households.

Six thousand households is seven thousand two hundred.

Nine lieutenants, that's almost 65,000.

With the total population of Yingqing Prefecture, the ratio is almost ten to one. It's already considered a desperate army.

The life of the people will be very bitter, very bitter.

"General. I'm against it. Although Zhao Yanting has the courage of ten thousand people. But the back of the head is anti-bone. I don't think he can be trusted, let alone hold the rank of a general like a lieutenant. ”

Liu Zhixing stood up, his attitude was very firm, and his tone was very sharp.

Four words.

I disagree.

Li Yong thought for a moment, and also hugged his fists and said to Wu Nian: "General." I have no opinion on how to expand the army. For Zhao Yanting, my thoughts are the same as Liu Changshi's. ”

"General."

Wang Youxiao and Zhang Haiping also followed with their fists. Let's not talk about Li Yong, the other three are all scholars and care about filial piety.

They all thought that it was very unfilial for Zhao Yanting to send his old mother to Wu Nian as a hostage for the sake of glory and wealth.

According to this, Zhao Yanting must be disloyal.

Wu Nian is a person who can listen to opinions very well, but this time he wants to be arbitrary. He smiled and said, "Zhixing." Don't get excited, listen to me first. ”

"There's a saying that's called. As long as you can catch mice, both white and black cats are good cats. ”

"Now I am still alone, and if I want to deal with the Meng Yuan people, I need a general like Zhao Yanting."

"People who have achieved great things in ancient times are all heroes, and they are thirsty for wisdom."

"And I think Zhao Yanting is also a wallgrass. But wallgrass has the benefit of wallgrass, as long as I am strong enough, he will not betray me. Besides. ”

"If Zhao Yanting betrays me. Feng Chong. Speaking of this, Wu Nian turned his head to look at Feng Chong and said with a smile, "What should you do?" ”

"You don't have to do it with the general. And I slaughtered him. Feng Chong held his head high, raised his right hand and patted his chest, looking proud.

Although Zhao Yanting and Zhu Qishan were tied, I didn't pay attention to it.

Hum.

"Hahaha." Wu Nian laughed when he heard this, looked at Liu Zhixing and the others, and said, "Look. He Zhao Yanting can't afford to turn over the wind and waves. ”

After laughing, Wu Nian stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let Wei Yu retire and return to Jiang County." Gather the captains back. ”

"Set the names of the nine captains, and then train the soldiers. occupied Guangchuan Mansion and slaughtered Hou Wancheng. ”

"Yes." Liu Zhixing and other civil officials are still very uncomfortable with Zhao Yanting's affairs. But since Wu Nian said so, none of them objected anymore.

Everyone stood up together, clenching their fists.
