The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 440 Prelude to the Battle ([-])
"Report~~Qi report to Shaofu, the forward advance Cao sent a report, saying that the Shu thieves came out from the brigade in Jiexiu County. Chu Mo estimated that there were no fewer than [-] troops out of the city. The leader of the flag is the puppet dynasty Da Simaguan."

"Understood, let's explore again!"

"Here!"

On the sheep's head mountain, in the camp of the Jin army.After receiving the information from the scouts that Guan Yi was leaving the city, Du Yu also beat the Jujiang drum.

Under Du Yu's command, there have been five generals since he was in Chang'an: Zhou Zhi, Fan Xian, Yin Lin, Du Gui, and Zhou Qi.The most valiant Zhou Zhi unfortunately died in the battle in Mei County, and the remaining four, although there is no such thing as Zhou Zhi who can stand alone, they are all veterans of the army and proficient in battle formation.In addition, he has been under Du Yu's command for many years and can execute Du Yu's orders very well.

"Everyone, this is how the battle is going. After Liu Yuanhai raised the flag, Guan Zifeng had no choice but to send troops from Jiexiu. The opportunity we have been waiting for has finally arrived!"

It can be said that, like the Battle of Changping in the past, Jin, whose national power could not be fully mobilized, was like Zhao in the past, the war had not yet made decisive progress, and the logistics could not keep up.

It has been more than a year since the state of Jin mobilized after the autumn harvest last year, and the spring plowing and autumn harvest in AD 272 were seriously delayed.Moreover, compared with Ji Han, due to the power of the family and the corruption of the official style, after a large number of self-cultivating farmers were forced to join the army, their families who stayed at home were inevitably oppressed and annexed by families from all over the world.In the short term, there are not many such cases.But as long as it lasts a little longer, a large number of self-cultivating peasant families in Jin who have lost their strong labor force will go bankrupt and be annexed.

In Pei Xiu's private letter to Du Yu, it has been clearly stated: According to the statistics of Shangshutai, in October of this year, the number of people controlled by the state in the eight states of Kanto disappeared by 30.And it's still the first year, if the war drags on to the second year, maybe [-] people will be lost.If it is delayed until the third year, the [-] people will be swallowed up by aristocratic families from all over the country.

Moreover, Pei Xiu also said that there are currently no less than tens of millions of shi of grain in warehouses in Luoyang, Xuchang and other places.But now the northern line is tight, and the southern line is ready to give in to Soochow.There are 10,000+ troops stationed in Bingzhou, and the food and grass transported by the country to Bingzhou every month is regarded as the loss of the road, which is almost 50 a month.

The monthly consumption of 50 shi is nothing to Jin, which has tens of millions of shi in storage.But these tens of millions of stones are only data on paper.With the development of the war, granaries all over the Henan provinces of the Jin Kingdom were on fire all day long.Among them, there are probably none that were actually ignited by Ji Han's Si Wencao!

There are so many granaries that do not catch fire in the morning and do not catch fire in the evening. When the front line needs to transport a large amount of grain, it frequently catches fire. Who the hell doesn't know the reason?
Therefore, although there was nothing in Pei Xiu's letter urging Du Yu to make a decisive battle to defeat Guan Yi as soon as possible, but there was one meaning in the words: look for opportunities to fight and fight soon!The country can still hold on now, but if this stalemate continues, the first to fall must be Dajin!

For the patriarch of a large family like Pei Xiu, although he is extremely talented, he can see many problems clearly.But in Du Yu's view, Wen Xi Pei's family has been on top for a long time after all, and lacks understanding of the grassroots.In fact, there were many more terrifying questions that Pei Xiu didn't see.

If nothing else, just talk about military spirit.Du Wuku is very fond of soldiers.It is precisely because of this that he knows that the morale of the army is not stable now.

It’s not wrong to think about it carefully: Oh, we are fighting life and death on the front line, and you officials and lords are bullying our wives and children in the rear, who has no idea?You ask how we know?Hi!A while ago, wasn't "The White-haired Girl" staged everywhere?Even if you haven't seen it, have your relatives seen it?Have the neighbors seen it?Didn't you hear them tell you the general plot?

Therefore, Du Yu has actually been working hard to find a fighter. Yes, the distance between the Han army's food roads is too long, and it is really difficult to transfer.But who let the family suppress the family very well since the founding of the country, and cut off another batch before sending troops.How about peace of mind at home?We are different!If time drags on and the 10,000+ army collapses without a fight, won't I, Du Yuankai, be treated as a joke for thousands of years in the history books?
Some time ago, Guan Zifeng had 10,000+ people gathered in Jiexiu, so it was impossible to fight.Now that the enemy is splitting up, such a fighter must be seized!
"Everyone, now that Liu Yuanhai is raising troops in Xihe, in order to maintain the prestige of the so-called big man and ensure the safety of the grain road, Guan Zifeng will definitely send out a large army to attack. According to preliminary calculations, the enemy's defenders in Jiexiu are less than [-]. Although The enemy army has cement as a powerful tool for city building, but you and I both know that Jiexiu County is a small county in the interior, not to mention the low city walls. Wang, Wang Shijun's troops, attack Jiexiu County with all their strength!"

"Here! I respect Shao Fu's orders!"

"Good, everyone, go down and prepare your troops. Time is running out. We must send troops tomorrow. Well, General Fan, what do you have to say?"

"Young Fu, when a fighter plane appears, the whole army will have no objection to attack. But the general wants to know, how much time can Liu Yuanhai buy us? If the captive chieftain was wiped out by Guan Zifeng as soon as the flag was raised, and then the Shu thief returned division……"

"Hehehe, I know Liu Yuanhai very well. He is both civil and military, and has outstanding strategies. Once he raises an army, he will leave Pingzhou immediately. He will never wait for Guan Zifeng to come to his door foolishly. Therefore, according to my calculations, Liu Yuanhai At least it can buy us three months."

"March... well, that should be enough. If so, there will be no objection at the end."

"Good, let's hurry up and reorganize the army. Today is December 88th, and Guan Zifeng had already set off yesterday. We have made every effort, and our army will have at most [-] days to set off tomorrow, so everything must be completed as soon as possible. I An envoy has been sent to ask the king of Taiyuan and Wang Shijun to lead an army to meet me at the city of Jiexiu on December [-]th."

"Here! The last general is waiting to take orders!"

……

On the other side, Xihe County, Pingzhou County.

This place has been occupied by the Huns for a long time, and there are really not many Han people in the city outside the city.After Liu Yuan raised the flag, all the Han people who were originally few ran away.Yes, there are only various bald-haired, left-handed Huns.

"Yuan'er, the flag has been raised, but our test is also coming."

"Yes, father. Originally, the son's original intention was to show his favor to the great Sima of Han. If the things given by the great Sima are good enough, it is not impossible to help Han to attack Jin. It's a pity..."

"Now that the Jin State Jin Zou Cao has sent information, it is said that the Great Sima of the Han State and the Tiefu bastard have dispatched an army of more than [-] to attack us. How to deal with it, have you thought about it?"

"Father, we Huns have been asleep for so long that we have forgotten the glory of our ancestors. In the past, when the Han Dynasty was not too powerful, let alone him, it was when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, my Great Huns We suffered repeated setbacks, didn’t we also dealt with the Han Dynasty on the grassland for nearly a hundred years? If it weren’t for our internal division, we might still be galloping on the grassland today.”

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Father, we Huns have already regained their vigor. My child saw this very clearly in Luoyang. It's just that the days of peace have been too long, and we have forgotten how we dealt with the powerful Han Dynasty before. We are Ma The nation on the back, of course, wants to fight on horseback. In Pingzhou County, Guan Da Sima wants it, and I will give it to him. I have ordered the whole army to pack up and go to Meiji."

"Go to Meiji?"

"Yes, that's where Shan Yuting used to be. When we go there, that bastard Liu Meng will definitely go crazy and urge Guan Da Sima to move forward as soon as possible. At that time, the boy will let Da Sima understand that we, the Huns, Who is more worthy of being wooed by a big man!"
