Sima Bi followed Sima Qu back to Xuchang.

He mainly wants to play.

Sima did go back to gather soldiers and horses.

The spring ploughing has been completed, and the soldiers of Xuchang can be gathered from the fields.

There were twenty thousand on the books, and in fact sixteen or seven thousand could be gathered. As for why there are fewer people, the main reason is that people don't like to be soldiers and flee.

The first batch of world soldiers has long been cleaned up by the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the second batch is almost finished, and now it is the third batch.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the governor of Xuchang can reward some food and silk from time to time, and for the sake of disasters for many years, whoever loves to be a soldier should go, anyway, I don't want to be.

After Sima Qu returned, he immediately gathered 7,000 soldiers stationed under the city, and then sent people to Chenliu to meet.

At the same time, he managed to gather craftsmen and began to make arrows and chariots in case of emergency.

The oil bottle left temporarily, and Shao Xun was overjoyed.

But Concubine Pei was very quiet all the way, she was closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she stopped to rest, she was also reading and writing letters, so she really didn't give him a chance.

When Junyi was approaching, Shao Xun received news that Zhou Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, asked to move the capital to Shouchun, but the Son of Heaven issued an edict to comfort him, but he was not allowed.

In addition, Li Shu, the assassin of Yanzhou, had a banquet in Beijing, said goodbye to relatives and friends, and prepared to go on the road.

Finally, there is also good news: Beigong Chun led 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers to Tongguan.

This is the person who was urgently shaken by the Son of Heaven before Luoyang was besieged last year. The people were indeed loyal, and the winter in Hexi was extremely harsh, and the fodder was scarce, so it was not suitable to send out a large force of cavalry, but still squeezed out a mixed infantry and cavalry force to the east, and after several months, it was about to arrive in Luoyang.

Wu Qian also came back.

Over the years, 2,000 soldiers were recruited and 1,000 horses were purchased. In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Liang ordered him to go on the road with Beigong Chun, so he also went to Tongguan at this time.

When Shao Xun saw the news, he was greatly relieved.

He had long been annoyed by Guang Chengze's infertile geldings. Over the years, we have vigorously collected mares and bred Xianbei stallions that have not been castrated, and it has only grown to more than 1,000 so far.

This time, he got a thousand horses at once, and I heard that there were 100 horses given by Zhang Liang as a gift in return, and his horse herd grew again.

But that's not enough to be proud of.

Horses are a consumable and consume more on the battlefield.

Rapid marches will be consumed, charges will be consumed, and chasing the enemy will be consumed.

As long as you ride on horseback, there will be wear and tear.

In a large-scale cavalry battle, it is normal to have thousands of horses killed and wounded - wounded, in most cases means death.

More than 2,000 horses, which is really not enough to consume a few times.

After receiving these news, Shao Xun felt the need to report to Concubine Pei, so he called Tang Jian: "Go and drive, I have confidential matters to report to the princess." ”

"No." Tang Jian immediately dismounted, drove the driver away, and drove himself himself.

When the soldiers heard the secret, they immediately scattered and did not let anyone approach.

Shao Xun came to the car and said, "Princess, the servant has something important to report." ”

Concubine Pei lifted the curtain, looked at Shao Xun, and bowed slightly.

Shao Xun immediately got into the carriage.

"What?" Concubine Pei asked in a calm voice.

Shao Xun leaned into her ear and whispered, "The Xiongnu are already sending grain and grass to Hedong. ”

"Don't worry, Concubine Liu is still in Tangli Courtyard, if I don't go back, she won't leave." Concubine Pei stabilized her mind and said.

"Oh......" Shao Xun felt like he had nothing to say.

Under Concubine Pei's gaze, why can't you let go so much? Are all the flirtatious skills gone?

The two were silent for a moment.

The carriage shook a little, swaying, and Concubine Pei snuggled in his arms.

Shao Xun is overjoyed, is Hua Nu going to give me a little sweetness?

"What other women do you have?" Concubine Pei asked suddenly.

"...... at home"

"I know both of them." Concubine Pei said: "What else? ”

"Liu ......"

Concubine Pei glanced at him amusefully and said, "You dare to covet her?" ”

Shao Xun smiled.

"What else?"

Shao Xun hesitated slightly.

Concubine Pei changed her posture, pressed her face to his chest, and said in a low voice: "Say it now, I won't be angry." ”

The eyes are very serious and sincere.

Shao Xun thought about saying more? Tell what you did and what you didn't?

"Empress Hui Yang." Shao Xun said the first name.

Concubine Pei's eyes showed some surprise.

She sat up straight and asked incredulously, "Do you know what the crime of insulting the family of heaven is?" ”

"It's done." Shao Xun recalled the scene when he hugged the Queen of the Sheep overnight, and secretly said that if I have another chance, I still have to do it.

"I really didn't think you still had this courage and ability." Concubine Pei didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Yang Xianrong is the queen, and she is the widow of the first emperor, so she can't bear the loneliness?

Moreover, this woman gives her a very bad feeling.

She couldn't see through and felt she was dangerous.

This dog thing even Queen Hui dared to provoke, and she got it, Concubine Pei didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Struggling to control her emotions, she asked, "Who else?" ”

And also? Without.

Shao Xun looked at Concubine Pei's eyes and silently calculated in his heart.

Sima Yue didn't die before, and Concubine Pei may not have made up her mind completely, so she indulged him a lot.

Now that Ah Yue is dead, Concubine Pei's mind may have changed.

She is also a woman, no matter how dignified she is, it is impossible to watch Shao Xun Hu Tiandi.

It is true that you can learn from Wang Dun, and after marrying the princess, she also bought dozens of concubines at home, and Concubine Pei can't strictly control it.

However, in the final analysis, the world is just a trade-off. Shao Xun thought about it, but Concubine Pei was still very attractive to him, much more.

But the impulsive side of his personality made him want to gamble and write off the account at one time, so as to save himself from getting into trouble later.

"There are also sisters Wang Jingfeng and Wang Huifeng." He said.

Concubine Pei was not as shocked as before this time, but she was still surprised.

She remembered the rumors in Beijing, and immediately sighed and said, "Wang Yifu is so easy to get along with?" What a haughty man he is, yet he grovels before you, and he will ask for something. ”

"Hua Nu is right." Shao Xun hugged her tightly and said cheekily.

Concubine Pei didn't struggle, just looked at him quietly.

"Who else?"

"It's gone."

"Where's Princess Xiangcheng?"

"Me and her didn't—uh, sort of." Shao Xun nodded hesitantly.

"You go down first, I still have to think about it." Concubine Pei said: "These women you provoke are not simple. They depend on you now, they obey you, and if they settle down in the future, God knows what will happen. ”

Shao Xun nodded, knowing that the timing was not right, so he got out of the car.

Concubine Pei looked at his departing figure, pondered for a long time, and began to write a letter to Pei Dun, the assassin of Xuzhou.

******

Tang Jian was slightly surprised when he saw Shao Xun come out. But his expression did not change at all, and after a different person drove the car, he silently followed.

Shao Xun came to the side of the road, asked the soldiers to bring the case, and sat cross-legged.

The spring is warm and the roadside wildflowers are brilliant.

Sitting on the earthy meadow, he began to write and draw.

Jizhou and Bingzhou should also complete spring sowing, right?

After planting a year's hope, some people will not be able to resist it.

He sketched a rough strip of the Yellow River on paper, and then wrote down several ferries.

Now the enemy will only send a small force of cavalry south, which will play a harassing role. And don't dare to go too deep, because there is not enough food.

In ancient times, the army fought, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

The lack of logistics and the execution of any tactical maneuver are nonsense, and this has not changed until the 21st century.

Shao Xun wrote the mileage between the various strongholds, silently calculating the consumption of infantry and cavalry.

This is also a skill that must be learned by the general, and the distance of the post road can be used to calculate the farthest the enemy can move.

In addition, when marching, small scale is sufficient, large troops cannot do without water sources, and many times march along rivers, through which it is possible to guess the enemy's route of advance.

Some of the roads were in disrepair and were not very wide, which greatly limited the ability of the enemy's main forces to pass, forcing them to divide their forces - everyone knew that it was best to go together, but sometimes it was a last resort.

In this way, Shao Xun marked several possible routes of march on paper.

The most likely one is a little rougher.

He silently calculated the number of troops he could muster at hand.

The Tuntian army can mobilize about 10,000 people.

Xuchang has 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers.

The government soldiers and troops can levy up to 4,000 people.

There are more than 1,000 volunteers.

The Yamen army is in the early 4,000s.

Six thousand silver spear troops.

That's an army of 40,000, which is basically enough. If it is really urgent, you can also wantonly levy the guests of the fort households, tunding, and the family department, and gather tens of thousands of people.

Of course, more than eighty percent of them are peasant soldiers, and they don't need you to raise them in normal times, but don't expect how strong the combat effectiveness is.

Fortunately, the enemy is also an ordinary person, and the eldest brother Mo laughs at the second brother, so he makes do with it.

After fighting for a long time, even the peasant soldiers will improve.

Shao Xun was sure that the combat effectiveness of the peasants and soldiers in the fifth year of Yongjia (311) must be stronger than when he first came to Luoyang.

Some peasant and soldier units have gone into battle more often, and they can even skillfully line up and fight.

"Give Pei Chun an order, mobilize the county soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass, and strictly check the passers-by."

"Please ask the king of Xincai to choose two generals, each with 3,000 troops to Guancheng and Xinzheng to garrison. Xingyang Pei Fujun also levied part of Ding Zhuang to help defend the two cities. ”

"Give an order to Chen Kuang in Xuchang, and send 3,000 guests from all departments to the Changshe to garrison in the north."

"Tell King Xincai that in the important town of Xuchang, there are thousands of people who dare to fight to make the enemy know the difficulty and retreat, and don't give it up."

After the scribe finished writing, he repeated it again, and after there was no problem, Shao Xun used the seal and handed it to Tang Jian.

The messenger quickly galloped away.

The scribe continued to wait.

After writing too many of these orders, he seems to understand a little bit, so why is this all the way arranged? What about the other roads?

Tang Jian was a little surprised.

It's just a county in Xingyang, which has taken up so many troops, and it is shocking to fortify and intercept layer by layer.

The point is that the enemy is not necessarily coming yet, they can take other routes.

"Let's go out first." Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "Chen Liu, Puyang, I'll take a look at it again." ”

This is a trip to receive Sima Yue's heritage, and it is also a staff trip.

Luoyang's attractiveness gradually decreased, which was not a good thing for Shao Xun, because it meant that the enemy army was using more troops in more directions, and would no longer be cramped in the Luoyang Basin.

At the same time, it also means that his stall is getting bigger and bigger, from Hongnong in the west to Dongping in the east, and he is confronting the enemy on a front of more than 1,000 miles.

This requires a huge number of troops.
