The town guard mansion is actually part of the Weiyang Palace.

For example, the main hall where Liu Chan arrived now, at first glance, is not a place that can be found in the town guard mansion, but it is more like a palace in the imperial city, but it is better preserved and is included in the scope of the town guard mansion.

In the hall at this moment, a cadre of ministers and generals is already in second place.

Civil officials are dressed in robes, with large sleeves as the majority, the cuffs are obviously convergent, and the collar and sleeves are decorated with lace. The collar of the robe is dominated by a collar, which is cut into a chicken-hearted style, revealing underwear when worn. The hem of the robe is often lined with a row of dense pleats, and some are also cut into a crescent curved shape.

The ministers wore a virtuous crown on their heads, and the pen was inserted in their ears, and the tip of the pen was not dipped in ink, which was purely used for decoration, and was called "hairpin white pen".

Some of the generals were dressed in armor, some were dressed in military uniforms, and they wore military crowns on their heads.

The hall is full of civil and military officials, and it is really a glance at the lead of the Han Kingdom.

Take out any random person, and they are all famous figures.

Liu Chan was dressed in the crown prince and sat on the main seat.

"I'll wait to see Your Highness."

His Royal Highness's ministers saluted, Liu Chan waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to be polite. ”

After the salute, the ministers all knelt down and sat down.

"Lone is only in Chang'an, and I am not familiar with the affairs of Guanzhong, Prime Minister, you can talk about it."

Zhuge Liang immediately stepped forward and said slowly: "The minister is in charge of logistics, now the army has enough grain and grass, the equipment is neat, and the grain collection in all parts of Guanzhong is carried out in an orderly manner, and within half a year, there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass." ”

After half a year's buffer, it seems that the problem of grain and grass is no longer a big problem.

Zhuge Kongming's internal affairs can be described as full marks, with Zhuge Liang in charge of logistics, this logistics problem, there is really no need for Liu Chan to bother.

"Shang Shuling?"

Zhuge Liang is in charge of logistics, and Shangshu Lingfa is the position of military advisor.

Fa Zheng naturally knew what news Liu Chan wanted to know, and immediately said: "Now the Han army in Chang'an City has 30,000 people, 25,000 infantry troops, and 5,000 cavalry troops. There are 20,000 people in Maoling, all of whom are Hu soldiers, 10,000 infantry troops, and 10,000 cavalry troops. There are 20,000 Han troops, 15,000 infantry troops, and 5,000 cavalry troops in Baling. Yongxian County has 15,000 Han troops, 4,000 cavalry troops, 10,000 infantry troops, tribes of various ethnic groups, counties, states and counties, and a total of 20,000 people, most of whom are infantry troops. ”

Thirty million twenty two thousand two hundred seventy five thousand.

In other words, there are now 105,000 soldiers of the Han State in Guanzhong.

What an army of 100,000!

And it's a real army of 100,000.

With the addition of the people, it is said that there are 300,000 people, which is no problem at all.

Of course

It can't be said that among these 100,000 people, Hu soldiers and Hu cavalry, tribes of various ethnic groups and state and county soldiers are also included.

It turned out that this was all the military strength of Wei, but after Chang'an was occupied, it was annexed in turn.

Their loyalty is questionable, and their combat effectiveness can only be described as worrisome.

It is impossible for them to fight a tough battle, and even to prevent them from turning back at any time.

Retreat and advance, its speed is like the wind, attacking the enemy, its Xu is like a forest, harassing the people, looting like fire, friendly troops are in difficulty, not moving like a mountain, the enemy's movements are difficult to know like yin, surrendering and fleeing like thunder.

That's what they're talking about, Hu soldiers and state and county soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that Guanzhong wanted to maintain stability now, Liu Chan would definitely have to deal with these Hu Bingzhou county soldiers.

"The counties in Guanzhong, can they be attached?"

"There are also Zuo Fengyi, and several cities are still resisting." The law answered truthfully.

"Zuo Fengyi guards Zheng Hun, there is really a way to die."

Liu Chan's face was grim.

"How is the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong?"

At this time, Du You stepped forward slowly, he saluted Liu Chan, and then said: "Guanzhong suffered from the war, the people were scattered, many fled to the mountains, and the dead and wounded were countless, during this time, the people in Chang'an City, only 50,000 people remained, and the people of Jingzhaoyin were only 200,000. Counting the right Fufeng and a few cities attached to my Han, there are only 500,000 people. ”

Half a million people?

So little?

Liu Chan's brows suddenly furrowed.

"There are only 500,000 people who have registered for the register? Or are there only 500,000 in Chang'an City? ”

was asked by Liu Chan like this, Du You also knew that Liu Chan was not easy to fool, and immediately said: "There are 500,000 people who have registered and made a register. ”

That's right!

There are almost a million people in the land of Nanyang Runan County, and the land of your Guanzhong Three Counties has a large plain, and there are only 500,000 people?

Isn't that?

Zuo Fengyi, the sixth year of Emperor Wu's founding was divided into Zuo Neishi, and the first year of Taichu was renamed Zuo Fengyi. At that time there were 235,110 households and 917,822 mouths.

Even if it encounters another great chaos, it will not reach the point of 500,000.

"There are people who have fled between the mountains and forests, and they are not counted, and there are also some aliens who live as nomads, and they are not on the list."

Du You said slowly.

I'm afraid that more black households are hidden in their homes?

But Liu Chan did not pull away from the topic.

Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity.

Now that the Han Kingdom needs the support of these families, it naturally needs to give them some benefits.

The hidden population of these families, after Guanzhong settles down, he will come to clean it up.

"Is there a delay in spring ploughing in Guanzhong?"

Du You immediately said: "The part that was delayed, there were many green seedlings, trampled by the sergeants, and the losses were not small. ”

It seems that the situation in Guanzhong is not so easy!

On the surface, the population is 500,000 and the army is 100,000, what kind of military-civilian ratio is this?

Five people to support a sergeant?

If it weren't for the fact that there was still grain in Guanzhong and the grain and grass transferred in Yizhou, otherwise, this battle would really not be able to continue.

Fighting a war is burning money!

It's even more wasteful.

"If you mistake the land for farming, you should also plant some beans on it, and don't waste it, and as for the people who have fled in the mountains and forests, let them return to their original places at once, and give each person a hundred acres of land."

When there are fewer people, there is more land.

The Guanzhong Plain is still large, not to mention that it can accommodate 500,000 people, but it can accommodate 2 million people, which is more than enough.

The Guanzhong region is located in the Weihe River basin in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, where the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, and the water source is abundant, which is conducive to the development of agricultural production.

In ancient times, agriculture was the economic foundation of the country, and the agricultural production conditions in the Guanzhong region were superior, which could provide a stable supply of food for the country, thereby supporting the country's development.

And Liu Chan's words, hearing the ears of those who have a heart, are another matter.

A hundred acres per person?

Du You showed a distressed look on his face, such a good land was given to those people, isn't it a waste?

But Liu Chan is on top, and he has no choice but to take orders.

"Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, the Qin and Han dynasties are all prosperous here, taking Guanzhong and controlling Guanzhong is the top priority now."

The Guanzhong area is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with Huashan Mountain and Kunshan Mountain in the east, Longshan Mountain in the west, Qinling Mountains in the south, Huanglong Mountain and Yao Mountain in the north, etc., these mountain ranges constitute a natural barrier, making the Guanzhong area easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Historically, many dynasties chose to build their capitals here, such as the Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Xin, Eastern Han, Western Jin, Former Zhao, Former Qin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, etc., all of which made full use of the geographical advantages of the Guanzhong region to consolidate their rule.

But now that the Wei army has entered the Guanzhong Basin, how to drive them away, and then close this opening, is a very important and critical matter.

Zhang Fei, the general of the cavalry, stepped forward and said: "The front army reported that the Wei general Zhang Liao was stagnant in Zheng County, and he should be waiting for reinforcements after him, if the Wei reinforcements arrived, it would not be easy to defeat him." ”

Zhang Fei's meaning is obvious, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Wei army has not yet arrived, Zhang Liao will be cleaned up first.

Drive it out of the Guanzhong Basin, take Tongguan by the way, and completely close the gateway to Guanzhong.

"Zheng County, how is the situation of the Wei army?"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "According to the news, there are nearly 20,000 Wei troops in Zheng County, and listening to their accents, they are Jianghuai people. ”

Cities such as Gaoling and Wannian have all been abandoned by Zheng Hun.

In the lotus spoon and Chongquan, it is on the same line as Zheng County, so as not to be too prominent, and was besieged by the Han army.

Zhang Liao of Zheng County, it is Tongguan that is guarded, and Pubanjin is prevented in Chongquan and Lotus Spoon.

One is the Guanzhong waterway, and the other is the Guanzhong Pass.

If these two roads are not broken through, they will not be able to master Guanzhong at all.

"How many Wei troops will come to support in the future, and how long will it take, is there any news?" Liu Chan asked.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Nanyang news, the Wei army returned to the north, only took away part of the Wei army, most of the Wei army, or stayed in the area of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, that is, the Wei State collected the Central Plains troops, and the number of people was only fifty or sixty thousand at most. ”

The Wei army reinforced 50,000 or 60,000 people, plus the 40,000 people who are now in Guanzhong, the total number of people is 100,000.

Although the 20,000 people led by Zheng Hun are mostly composed of soldiers and civilians from prefectures and counties, it is not possible to fight in the field, and it is estimated that it is also very difficult to defend the city.

But it can't stand the Han army, and tens of thousands of people are here to drag their feet.

Moreover, Cao Zhen is behind, which is bound to pull some of the energy of the Han Kingdom.

If you wait for the Wei army reinforcements to arrive, then the strength advantage of the Han army will immediately cease to exist.

Liu Chan frowned, and immediately said to Zhang Fei: "Can the general of the chariot cavalry be sure to defeat?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Zhang Liao is a general, it is not so easy to defeat, but Zheng Hun in the north of Weishui should be eradicated first, recover most of Zuo Fengyi, and also supply grain and grass for our army and recruit people." ”

The persimmon should be pinched softly, recover Zuo Fengyi, and control Pubanjin, which is also very important for the current Han Kingdom, which means that the materials of Hedong County need to go around in a circle to come to Tongguan.

Lengthening the enemy's food routes and increasing their consumption can also give our county some chances of winning.

"Then take the general of the chariot cavalry as the commander, command the 20,000 soldiers of Baling, and 10,000 people from Chang'an, 10,000 from each family, a total of 50,000 people, and cut Wei!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty has taken orders!" ”

"Sun Qian is the military advisor, Dong Yun is the military Sima, Zhao Yun, the Marquis of Yongchang Pavilion, is the vanguard, and Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, is the deputy general, and he is the commander of the expedition ahead!"

The ministers who were called by Liu Chan came forward one after another, saluted Liu Chan, and shouted loudly: "No! ”

"Is there anything else besides that?"

Liu Chan is about to say that there is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat.

Shang Shu Lingfa immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the Temple of Heaven outside the city has been repaired, and three days later, it will be an auspicious day, and you should worship God and comfort your ancestors." ”

Etiquette and etiquette are the act of collecting the heart.

This is also a declaration of legitimacy.

"Lone knows."

Fa Zheng continued: "When Zhang He was defending Chang'an, he killed a lot of officials, and now the number of officials at all levels of Jing Zhaoyin is insufficient, and he also asks His Royal Highness to recruit talents for driving. ”

Recruitment?

This is another move to stabilize Guanzhong and recruit talents.

Liu Chan nodded again.

"The matter of recruiting talents is fully responsible for the Shangshu Order, and the Prince's Family Order is responsible for the recruitment of talents in the Wutang."

Since it is to collect its heart, since it is to maintain stability, and since it is to be in power, Liu Chan's martial arts hall must not be absent.

"Those who are famous in the pass can enter the Chongwen Hall and preach the scriptures for solitary people."

The small ones are enveloped, and the old ones can't be let go.

"Great goodness!"

A smart person is a smart person, and if he just mentioned such a sentence, His Highness would already draw inferences.

Now that the night is already deep, Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "As for the rest of the specific affairs, I will discuss them carefully and retreat from the dynasty later." ”

The internal official beside Liu Chan immediately pulled the male duck and shouted: "Retreat to the dynasty~"

The ministers in the hall got up one after another, saluted Liu Chan, and slowly retreated.

The outer dynasty is over, and the next thing is the meeting of the inner dynasty.

After all, there are some messages that should not be disseminated.

There are not many teams in the Inner Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei, Wu Yi, Du You, there are only five people.

The inner court is not in the main hall either, but in the inner chamber.

"Your Highness."

The four of them had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Liu Chan coming up, they immediately saluted Liu Chan.

"No need to be polite."

Liu Chan sat on the main seat, adjusted his sitting posture, and then asked: "Prime Minister, the grain and grass in the army are really safe for half a year?" ”

It must be known that the number of Han troops in Guanzhong is not a small number.

There are hundreds of thousands of people, so many people, can the grain and grass in Guanzhong be supported?

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan and said, "Three months will be fine." ”

As soon as the news goes out, it will definitely be known by the school government.

If the school government knows about it, Wei Jun will also know it, and he will "prescribe the right medicine" for the Han army in response to these messages.

The amount of grain and grass for half a year, Zhuge Liang exaggerated it for three months.

"As for three months later, after the opening of Wuguan, it should be worry-free to rely on Nanyang to transport grain and grass."

Break through the martial arts.

This is variable.

The Han army wants to fight a decisive battle with Wei in Guanzhong, where will the troops come from to break through the Wuguan?

Sending troops from Nanyang, the dangers of Wuguan are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

If you want to break through, it is best to cover the past from Lantian's side, and under the attack from both sides, Wuguan will collapse.

"The cultivation of various places in Guanzhong must be done well, and part of the land around Chang'an needs to be requisitioned for the purpose of tuntian."

If the forbidden army arrives in Chang'an, it is natural to allocate land to them and settle their families.

The mode is similar to that of the Soldiers.

As for the payment of military salaries.

I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as a military pay.

"Mobilize the people of Guanzhong, transfer grain and grass, repair roads, and dredge water conservancy."

sprinkled hundreds of words, which made Du You suddenly look at Liu Chan with admiration.

When he heard Liu Chan's reputation before, he thought he was a general who fought on the battlefield, but now it seems that this highness is not only good at fighting, but also no worse than fighting in war!

After talking about the relevant matters of people's livelihood, Liu Chan turned his head to look at Zhang Fei.

"If you want to defeat the Wei army and control Guanzhong, it is not a simple matter, how should the general of the Che Cavalry prepare to use his troops?"

Zhang Fei immediately went out of the queue. (End of chapter)
