…

"No wonder when Li Dao and the others went west, in order to preserve their strength, they didn't forcibly do anything to the Qiang people..."Xi Zhong finally understood this situation.

Why did Li Dao and the others leave a large number of Xiliang Iron Horsemen, and they didn't take this pile of Xiliang Iron Horsemen directly to Ximang.

Although there is a part of the friendship that used to be there, this cannot be the dominant factor.

"Even if Li Dao and the others are fierce enough and forcibly fight out of this area, at least half of the troops in his hands will be lost..."Cheng Yu estimated the combat effectiveness of both sides and said thoughtfully.

Compared with the past, although the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry has increased, the overall combat effectiveness has indeed decreased a lot.

However, the Qiang tribe, because of the perennial battles and wars, and the Han people for many years, their own combat effectiveness is actually not weak.

Being able to fight with the Han people, even back and forth, already shows its own combat effectiveness.

Li Dao and the others, if they really force them over, even if they cut out a 1:5 battle damage, they will have to lie down half of the people, not to mention that they may not be able to achieve this level.

has an edict from the Son of Heaven, and on the surface, it is carrying out the orders of the Son of Heaven after all.

There is no problem in terms of righteousness, so naturally he will not forcibly kick the former auxiliaries.

Even along the way, there are still a large number of Qiang people, trying to join the command of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But under the thinking of Li Dao and others, they finally gave up this simple and clear idea.

Because no one can guarantee that the ghost place in the Western Regions will be able to support so many cavalry?

Li Dao and the others have not been there, so naturally there is no way to guarantee it.

As for hearsay, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others just have a general understanding and have a mental and ideological preparation.

"The troublesome Qiang people, forcibly swallowed, will inevitably suffer heavy losses in strength, even if they can get some things back, they will not be able to make ends meet, so let's use a plan, although the Qiang people are afraid of power but not morality..."

It's not that he can't beat it, but the profit he got after beating is completely different from what he imagined, and in this case, it's more realistic to use a strategy.

The princes who planned the Central Plains were more sad, and it was possible that others would see through and counteract, but planning the Qiang people, Xi Zhong still felt that he had no big problem.

Their own strength, troops, logistics and popular support are far beyond the Qiang people.

For such remarks, everyone present did not raise objections, but nodded quite seriously.

Xun Yu, who had rushed to Chang'an from Chen Liuzhong, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he listened to such discussions and negotiations.

Stud-style warfare is really not suitable for people like him, and in any case, it is too dangerous to do so.

Although the benefits of stud are large, if possible, Xun Yu still hopes to take the right path and avoid accidents.

Liu Bei's development speed, he can't understand it, in this case, he has to drag the army to a stud, I'm afraid it's not a crazy rhythm.

But if the casualties exceed 20%, Xun Yu feels that he can't accept it.

What's more, in this kind of large-scale war, the materials consumed can be called massive, not to mention that in this kind of pure cavalry, the materials consumed are even more terrifying.

Although there was a calculation in advance, most of the material consumption and food problems were solved.

But that doesn't mean they can start wars with impunity, ignoring the attrition of wars.

"If you can appease the Qiang people, millions of people can be supplemented by a population, whether it is a labor force or an army, you can have a pretty good promotion..."Xun Yu briefly calculated the racial reserves of the Qiang people, understood the strength of these Qiang people, and what such a huge population can do, and briefly said it.

Some simple data, but it reveals incomparable authenticity.

Compared to examples, data is the real thing.

You may be tired of saving for a year, and a battle will be gone.

If the problem can be solved by non-war means, Xun Yu fully supports non-war means.

"And this kind of problem?" Xi Zhong glanced at Xun Yu sideways, and finally believed Xun Yu's words and nodded seriously.

"Although there are strategic reserves collected in Yanzhou in the past two years, plus the full support of the Wei family, as well as taxes from various places, the income of the Tuntian soldiers..."Xun Yu simply calculated for everyone present, so that everyone understood the source of income of their forces, as well as their own source of reserves.

"These things together, there are a lot of them, in the Yongliang area, it is more than enough to support the battle of about 100,000 people..."Chen Qun calculated the result in an instant, and looked at Xun Yu with deep meaning.

With so many supplies, it is a bit strange to think about it for such a reason.

"If according to the current standards of our army, according to the ratio of infantry to cavalry, 8:2 is calculated, without affecting next year, the scale of about 100,000 people will be guaranteed, limited to the Yongliang area, and it will probably be able to support less than two years..."

"In that case, then give up force, after all, there are more places where force needs to be used in the future, so there is no need to waste these precious materials in the hands of some Qiang people..."Xi Zhong waved his hand and said lightly.

If in order to deal with the Qiang people, they all emptied their reserves, then how should they deal with Liu Bei and others?

"Okay, I'll go find Boda (Sima Lang) and use the strategy directly, although the delay may be a lot more, but at least the loss is not so big..."Chen Qun nodded on the spot.

Now that the main tone has been confirmed, it's good to do it.

It's a pity, supplies, how the hell did you get this thing?

In the past, the materials they had could be said to be quite luxurious and sufficient.

But in the face of Liu Bei in the east, Chen Qun could only say one sentence when he looked at the materials piled up in the warehouse in the group, these materials were too few.

To this extent, Chen Qun can't quite understand how so many materials are made?

Can food and people alone really cobble together so many strategic materials?

Thinking of what was involved, Chen Qun shook his head,

Although they were able to find out a lot of information under Liu Bei's rule, and they were able to speculate a lot of nodes, the number of these nodes was not enough, and it was not enough for them to deduce enough complete details and logic.

Although there can be a lot of gains, there is a gap after all.
