Chapter 324: Fighting for Hegemony: The National Strength of the Three Western Kingdoms
Dongfang Yu returned to the side hall, scribbled breakfast, and found the person in charge of the dark hall, Xu Meng and others.
The person in charge of the Dark Temple, Yin Shu, is also one of the deputy hall masters of the Dark Temple.
As one of Dongfang Yu's most trusted figures, he has not much intelligence information in his hands.
Almost every piece of information can be used as a metaphor.
"Yin Shu, the national strength of the Western countries, you can find out clearly."
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, has been the same truth for thousands of years.
Yin Shu said: "King Qiyu, the most powerful and powerful country in the west is the Three Kingdoms, followed by the Three Kingdoms!" There are fifteen small and medium-sized countries in the west. ”
"And the most powerful one is the ...... of Silla"
Silla has a population of more than 3.2 million, 250,000 soldiers, and the general Murong Xiao, etc., and is also known as the god of war in the western country.
The second is the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Wave Kingdom, the national strength of the two is not much different, and the soldiers of various countries are about 200,000.
The country's population is around 2.5 million.
There are a few medium-sized countries in the west, and the population of the country is not large, and the number of troops is about 30,000 or 40,000. The second is only 70,000 or 80,000 in population and only a few thousand in force.
In the west, the real boss still belongs to the three kingdoms of Silla, Daxia, and Dabo.
However, the Three Kingdoms are not big, but when the troops are combined, they will eventually be three or four times better than him, which should not be underestimated, and they should not be careless.
Yin Shu continued: "However, the soldiers of the western countries are not high in combat effectiveness, and their weapons and equipment are also very backward. ”
"The secret guards placed by the ministers in the three countries, there has been an analysis of the soldiers of the three countries, except for the king's personal guards, who have a relatively full set of armor, most of the rest of the soldiers are bare-shouldered."
"The Great Xia Kingdom is even more fur as a Jiage, and its defense is extremely poor."
"With the combat effectiveness of our Qin soldiers, as well as their armor, even if they fight several times the enemy head-on, they can easily win."
The battle armor of the Qin State is not an ordinary war knife that can be pierced.
In addition, Daqin has strong bows and crossbows, and strong artillery support, forgive the western countries, no matter how many troops there are, they can only be used as fire targets.
And the three western countries, after all, have been angered to his bottom line, and with his character, he will definitely teach the western countries a good lesson with a war of annihilation.
Otherwise! I really thought that he Qin Guo could be provoked by anyone!
"In this way, the western countries are nothing but mud destroyers, and in an instant, they will fall apart." Dongfang Yu couldn't help but say.
"King, the joint efforts of the Three Kingdoms are just for the sake of interests after all, and the so-called soldiers of the Three Kingdoms are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they can be destroyed with a wave of their hands. The only thing we have to be afraid of is the power of the major princes in Shandong. ”
"King Chen, Emperor Wu, King Yan, King Chen, King Qi, King Chu, the six major forces, entrenched outside Qin, are all eyeing our country. And this time, I, Qin, sent an army of 150,000 at one time, and I was afraid that Shandong and other countries would have bad intentions and attack our Qin State. ”
"Especially in the north, Wei Qing took away 50,000 troops, leaving behind two generals, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who may face Daliao alone, and they have to be guarded." Tian Pingzou frowned and said worriedly.
Xu Meng said, "Da Liao is not afraid, and my border army can leave with confidence." In the east, there are General Wei Chiyan and General Fang Deng, a total of 100,000 troops, eyeing the right side of the Great Liao, and there is the Wuhuan King in the west, tens of thousands of troops are entrenched, staring at the Great Liao. ”
"These two forces can help Qin. In addition, a few years ago, General Wei Qing destroyed 100,000 Liao alone, but now the foundation is destroyed, and he does not dare to send troops without authorization. He Cook is a smart person, and he may take this opportunity to reconcile with my Qin State. ”
Well?
What Xu Meng said is indeed reasonable, today's Da Liao is not facing one of the Qin families, but four families. Don't forget, the big tiger of Beiyan has recently encroached on a lot of land in Liao.
In desperation, the Liao State could only station 100,000 troops on the border between Liao and Beiyan, guard the delay of guards, and Fang Deng's stealing home, at least 50,000 troops, and defend against Wuhuan, and also have 50,000 troops.
This worry can be solved, then! The real hidden danger is still the countries of Shandong.
Fortunately, Dingzhou and Zhengzhou have already prepared, with an army of 180,000 and famous generals stationed there, King Chen and Emperor Wu are still very difficult to steal their homes.
Moreover, the recruits who have been recruited in various states for three months, 50,000 recruits, have already arrived in the Qin State and officially enlisted in the army, that is to say, at this time, Beiliang still has nearly 80,000 troops.
"If you can reconcile with Liao, it would be the best." Dongfang Yu muttered.
After all, Dongfang Yu is busy now, how to deal with the Shandong countries, but he has no time to take care of foreign affairs.
"Military division, for the western countries, can it be destroyed!" Dongfang Yu asked.
There are disadvantages and advantages to extinguishing and not extinguishing.
Xu Meng said: "The king, according to the opinion of the ministers, it will not be extinguished for the time being. ”
"If the king wants to control the minerals in the west, he can temporarily colonize the Three Kingdoms, or! To make the Three Kingdoms surrender, the king can lead the army, destroy the main force of the Three Kingdoms, and empty the power of the emperors of the Three Kingdoms as much as possible. ”
"Once the three western countries are afraid, they are not afraid of them, and if they do not hand over the right to use the western minerals to us, then the time comes! Whether it is for huge profits or direct occupation, it is all handed over to the king to dispose of. ”
But Dongfang Yu still has his own careful thoughts and worries.
The land of the western countries cannot be encroached upon for the time being, after all! The battle line is too long, and troops have to be transported to garrison it, which is not a matter of national strength at all.
And! The top priority at the moment is to unify the customs in order to destroy the foreign states.
Only by concentrating troops can we do great things.
The dispersion of troops is not a good thing.
So far, the strategy for the western countries has been to support puppets.
Let the trifecta be in turmoil.
It is secretly stirred up that all the countries in the west will be plunged into civil strife. It's better that you fight me, I fight you, and the war is raging.
I believe that the hegemon of the west, this synonym, the central country of the west, also wants to touch it!
"Order!"
Dongfang Yuyan.
"Wait here."
"Five days after the army, the western expedition began."
"Prime Minister left and right, the two of you will dispatch as soon as possible within three days, 150,000 troops, two months of grain and grass to the west, and five days later, the three armies will set off at the same time."
"Calculating the time, if our army wants to completely enter the realm of the Three Kingdoms, it will take more than a month just to march."
Dongfang Yu frowned, this is the biggest trouble, the march is too far, and the battle line is too long.
"No!"
Fortunately! Dongfang Yu's invention of dough cakes, compressed biscuits and other things are beneficial to carry, transportation of grain, is still more convenient.
At least, the 150,000-strong army, on the way to the west, can solve the food problem well.
And the eight-hundred-mile expedited paperwork was delivered to Usa City one day later.
At this time, in the city of Usa, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the war drums rumbled.
