Chapter 667: Gathering

The Han Dynasty should be martial for two years

In the first month, the war situation in Jizhou tended to be sluggish, the Han army did not use troops on a large scale, only concentrated on hoarding spirit stones, and sent messages to Luoyang one after another, and then forwarded to the various counties and counties in the ruling area, and the people's sentiment in the north and south of the country slowly produced some changes, brewing.

The saint promised to join when Ye Qing attacked again, but they didn't make a move for a while, and they seemed to be preparing.

At this time, it was the end of winter, not far from spring, I heard Long Jun say that Biyou Palace had struck the golden bell, and there were sect members on all islands in the East China Sea, which reminded Ye Qing of the Shen Gongbao he had seen, the person from the outer realm, but unfortunately the sect was located in Kunlun, which had been out of the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence for a long time, and he couldn't detect the movement.

But with a little rumor, Ye Qing could clearly feel that the saints were mobilizing the strength of their sect.

"Let Luoyang step up preparations, and the spring offensive cannot be delayed......"

"Yes!"

Starship

The entire command hall, except for the slight breathing of the Taoist, was really silent, and Yi Daoren's clear face was expressionless, staring at the map on the screen, and seeing a piece of blood gradually spreading.

"The main force of the Han army stopped, obviously accumulating strength, and the other rose, and our real people increased their attacks, leading a small group of Yellow Turban troops to infiltrate the counties outside Jizhou, carrying out attacks and blood sacrifices......"

"The Han army is accumulating, can there be any other movements?"

Outside the Lower Earth World, a large net has been quietly laid down, and the Great Priest will pretend to come over to maintain the Taoyuan every month, or Long Jun will come over to receive the resources of the East China Sea......

Seeing this situation in his eyes, Yi Daoren was very depressed, and at this time, his cheeks twitched slightly, and although his voice was not high, he faintly had the sound of gold and stone.

The real person who spoke heard this, shuddered, and replied: "Due to our repeated attacks and killings of ordinary people, the Heavenly Dao is rejecting us more and more, and the scope of our investigation is rapidly shrinking - the specific situation is not clear, and we ask the real person to forgive us." ”

Yi Dao people know that they can't be demanding, indeed, these scattered demon cultivators are constantly dying, which has completely caused the backlash of the dark side Heavenly Dao.

Some of the movements aroused the alarm of the Yi Dao people, but after thinking about it, they still believed in the hidden technology of the Star Monarch Ship.

"We have the Star Monarch Ship, at most it is just to break away, and the enemy has been mobilized by false signals one after another outside, so there is no need to risk breaking away during this time, as long as you lie dormant patiently, you will eventually wait for the loophole, after all, the initiative of when to break away is in your own hands......"

The initiative to be able to fight and go is the biggest advantage of the Star Monarch Ship.

"As for the madness of those peripheral real people, it's just a cover to give full play to the residual heat. The real people on the Star Monarch Ship looked at the blood that was spreading on the screen, shocked, and thought so.

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, the self-proclaimed orthodox little emperor received Liu Yan and canonized the prince, which is said to be the best attempt of Prime Minister Wang Yun to unite Chang'an Yizhou.

However, in Luoyang's view, this can achieve the effect of self-preservation, and it is not to mention the enterprising - because of the lack of cavalry in Yizhou and the lack of troops in Chang'an, there is no threat to Tongguan in the west of Luoyang in terms of quantity or quality.

However, in response to this political incident, the Luoyang side could not help but react.

Soon, Xu Huang led a partial cavalry gallop out of Tongguan, marched into the army to attack the main road in the valley between Yizhou and Chang'an, weakened Xijing, and continued to bleed.

By February, the second snow fell in Luoyang City, and three or four thousand Taoist soldiers were newly trained, which were the essence of the veterans of various counties.

It's a pity that the training of formal magicians is slower, and they don't get much new supplements, and it is expected that a new batch of students will graduate in early autumn, but Ye Qing can't wait for that time, and orders to postpone coming to Jizhou for an internship until March at most.

The time of day is changing rapidly, and it is rare to match the four saints, Ye Qing must do his best to bulldoze the outer realm, set up the four immortal sword formations, and solve the source of the scourge of the Star Monarch Ship in one fell swoop, not to mention cooperating with the capture of the nine Earth Immortals outside, at least to expel the Star Monarch Ship.

Social promotion is the capital of his promotion, and any enemy who stands in the way must be eliminated.

When it was almost spring, what surprised Ye Qing was that Luoyang had spied on some news, and the princes of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong and other places put on a posture of hatred and hatred for the enemy, and spontaneously asked for reinforcements.

This sparked a heated debate in the main camp of Qinghe County.

"At present, although these regions are under rule, there are still strong princes, which is a legacy problem, and it is difficult to say whether it is reliable or not. Someone said.

Zhang Fangbiao shouted: "None of them are reliable anyway...... Why don't you kill them all?"

Everyone laughed, the times were different, and they didn't take it seriously.

"Or maybe the general mobilization plan has leaked, and these princes are afraid of being swept away by the aftermath of the army, so they simply join?" guessed Empress Xiaomi

ZHANG Liao...... Or Jiang Chen coughed lightly and expressed his opinion: "It should be treated differently, Tian Kai and Gongsun Zan are obedient to the command of His Majesty, and Gongsun Du, who is self-reliant in Liaodong, does not tolerate foreigners, or has the intention of showing goodwill to the new dynasty...... But what does Cao Cao think?"

He was not the only one who frowned and was puzzled, at this time, all the people attending the meeting were people from the ground, and they knew the details of the cunning of the strict patriarch, it was difficult not to suspect that there was a conspiracy inside.

After Ye Qing pondered for a moment, he asked Ji Caizhu, "What has happened to the Cao family recently?"

Ji Caizhu glanced at the brief in his sleeve and reported: "In terms of luck, the monitoring magician has recently determined that Cao Cao's luck has dropped by half...... It proves that Yan Shenyuan activated the official's avoidance authority and did not enter the lower earth, which may mean that he knew that the lower earth was hopeless, and he was afraid of being plotted. ”

"On the political zhì table, the doppelganger did not receive the new information, so he simply surrendered and lost his sincerity, and he closed his door for several months after resigning from the post of Yanzhou assassin, preparing to be a public ......"

"What is puzzling is that there have been frequent actions recently, apologizing to the Queen Mother, relocating the clansmen, and now assisting in the attack on the foreign lands......"

"Oh, there is another strange thing, late at night on the eve of the Spring Festival, when the old and the new are alternate, it is reported that there is a yellow dragon flying west on the river, and someone saw Cao Cao's cloak coming out, drawing his sword and hacking more than 20 retainers to death......"

Huanglong flew west...... Ye Qing listened to the movement in his heart, wasn't that night the time when he dreamed of the Yellow River turning into a dragon and the inspiration of the clan?

Am I not the only one who can sense it?

Queen Xiao Mi turned her eyes to look at him, silent, and thought of something.

Everyone talked about it, speculating that this was pretending to be crazy, until Zhang Fangbiao asked: "Who was hacked to death? Did you hack your wife and son to death?"

This question aroused Ji Caizhu's interest, he recalled, and shook his head: "There are no relatives, and when you get it on the list, there is a common feature, none of the dead are old ministers, all are new ministers...... It's all earthlings. ”

The scene was silent, and everyone felt something strange and turned their heads to look at the emperor.

"And don't care about other people's family affairs...... But Jizhou has a lot of merit on this side, who doesn't want to fight?" Ye Qing smiled, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and set the tone of the matter: "The more forces participating in the war in the foreign region, the better, and we welcome him to all the reinforcements!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and emphasized again: "This attack on the enemy has been prepared, and it is not feasible to go deep alone, so the group will crush it...... Strive for more strength, one more chance of winning, and put the past suspicions on one side first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This resolution was quickly replicated throughout the army and unified understanding.

"Give the order to mobilize. Ye Qing ordered this, I believe that after half a year of preparation in autumn and winter, Luoyang has clarified the operation.

I have to say that this is a special mechanism inherited from the Warring States period of the Qin and Han classical empires, the Warring States period was the war between the seven countries, and the Qin and Han dynasties were fighting with the Xiongnu for hegemony in Shenzhou orthodoxy, the so-called national war, are large-scale battles with millions of levies, and the final victors are the embodiment of comprehensive national strength.

After that, the dynasty was wiped out due to the great enemy equivalent to the national strength of China, and this mobilization mechanism was quickly annihilated in history.

From the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the mobilization ability became worse and worse, and it was not until the two major wars of the industrial age that Western civilization discovered the meaning of general mobilization -- so that the strong of comprehensive national strength could stand to the end.

But at this time, Ye Qing ended the civil strife in less than 20 years, and completely inherited the political, military, and economic heritage of the two Han Dynasty, and there were many people who understood this mechanism between the government and the opposition, and he expected that he would be able to gather more mobilized troops than Cao Cao during his southern expedition, and the dispatch of the news disk became even more so.

This order was transmitted to Luoyang, and the imperial court upgraded the wartime mechanism and officially transferred to the general mobilization mechanism - the first was the military conscription and expansion of the army, and the standing number of local county soldiers was small, which was originally a framework, once the war time could be used as seeds, and new soldiers could be filled in and expanded, which was a unique feature of the Qin and Han classical empires.

Immediately, the Empress Dowager He issued an order to give tax exemption for one year to the local counties that sent troops to Jizhou, and gave subsidies for ploughing cattle in the spring...... The aim was to minimize the impact of the spring war on agricultural affairs.

In terms of communication, the post station network was upgraded to a Xunpan network, and the newspapers and governments in various states were quickly publicizing it, with a unified slogan: "The survival of the Han family is here in one fell swoop." ”

In terms of transportation, the rail network is boundless, and it is actually impossible to do the national mobilization at present, and the imperial court only mobilizes the Luoyang Plain, the Jinghan Plain, the Henan Plain, the Shanxi Plain, and the Jianghuai Plain, which are the five main grain-producing areas, Hebei Jizhou is the war and cannot be supported, the Yizhou Chengdu Plain is refused to support, and the Jiangdong grain-producing area is guaranteed, which is too far away from the north, and the benefit ratio of support is too poor.

It is said that this is a volunteer soldier who brought his own dry food, and it is difficult to say how much enthusiasm he can have, but the nascent empire does have a vigorous and upward pioneering spirit, and it seems to be stimulated by the ethnic spirit in the underworld, and it is indeed understood that at this time of danger, the young and strong people in the five mobilization areas are organized in large numbers, filled with flesh and blood under the framework of the county government soldiers, and formed a local army, and went to Jizhou, where the emperor was driving.

The military spirit is soaring, and the dragon time looms.

In February of the second year of Yingwu, many earthly magicians were surprised to find that the mobilization in these five states had reached almost every household, and a large number of young and strong people were ordered to join the army.

"It's ......good to lose such a big mobilization," some people thought to themselves.

However, when the newspaper learned the total number of volunteers, these people on the ground who were secretly cautious were silent—the population of the whole empire was 40 million, and even if the local mobilized force was very considerable, it was estimated that 700,000 young and strong, close to twice that of Cao Cao at the time of the Battle of Chibi.

This force simply only appeared at the time of the pre-Qin State War, such as the Qin and Chu State Wars 600,000 against 400,000, and the Qin and Zhao State Wars 600,000 against 450,000, when such a big force is launched, every gear of the entire country is turning, transmitting power, and no one can stop the front, either the enemy falls, or they fall.

"The emperor still understands it...... Our only absolute superiority over the enemy is the combination of manpower, material resources, and luck, and this general mobilization together has made the whole country boiling, and only the one with the strongest comprehensive strength has always been able to survive to the end. ”

"What is this? The weak side is not defeated, but he dies of blood loss in the bloodletting, it can be seen that Ye Qing's water in a hundred battles is not as good as when he was outnumbered before, I can also do this kind of flat pushing. A young and vigorous earthly man said so.

Some older people shook their heads: "There is a cloud in "The Art of War" here: Therefore, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods...... Ye Qing's strategy has always changed due to the enemy, when did you see that his methods were inappropriate?"

"And the famous marshal water is not just what you say, there is a core standard, that is, the upper limit of effective troop leadership -- this upper limit directly determines the command power of a general, you see how many people have successfully led more than 600,000 to 1 million troops in the 2,000-year history of this land? ”

The young man was speechless, but sneered: "It's just some natives, this kind of system, how can I go to the Dao Law." ”

Hearing this, the people around avoided the circle, secretly thinking that this is really a fool who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, strength is power, and it is good if the system or the individual can win.

The strength of these 700,000 mobilized soldiers is not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality, the troubled times are not far away, young and strong people who have seen blood abound, and the basic ones who support and participate in the war have good combat power, and they can be organized under the framework of the county government soldiers, and theoretically they can directly work hard, and they can drown thousands of real people - the mana of the spirit pool also has a limit, and the body will also be tired.

Unlike all kinds of speculation between the government and the opposition, Ye Qing is not ready to use cannon fodder sea tactics.

He has recently figured out how to use dragon qi, and what he wants is not the combat power of the mobilized troops, but the huge military qi formed by the large group army, which is mutually beneficial to the dragon qi.

Compared with the current population of 40 million in the Han Dynasty, the largest state in the outer region is only a million people, how can there ever be a million troops?

Ye Qing believed that when this force entered the battlefield, it would surprise all the enemies - if the elite raid was not good, then change the method, and what you want is to be crushed by the group!

Until March, the main force of the Han army gathered in Qinghe County, looking like it was not moving, and it took care of itself to accept supplementary reinforcements from Luoyang.

The soldiers of the local county government arrived at the request for reinforcements, and they were self-sufficient in weapons and food, all of which were fought in Mianyuan County, mainly to break the enemy's magic array, and their strength was that they did not dare to go deep into Jizhou, forming an encirclement of Jizhou.

Spontaneous reinforcements from the ranks of the northern princes were long overdue, but they still came.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the military spirit, murderous spirit, and blood qi were intertwined, and the wolf smoke shrouded the entire war zone, and the entire Jizhou became a meat grinding field, and the blood rushed to the sky for a while.
