Chapter 1102: Three Hundred Thousand

What Sima Lun put forward is only a strategy in the general direction, and it is specific to how to implement it, which requires professional personnel to calculate, because recruiting such a large number of troops involves all kinds of problems, including the problem of weapons and equipment, the problem of grain and grass, and other various problems, if these problems cannot be effectively solved, this strategy cannot be established.

All the long histories, military members, chief books, bookkeepers, and officials of the General's Mansion participated in the accounting process, and a handful of account books were moved in, piled up on several cases, piled up, and these officials were all busy sweating profusely and nervous, for fear that a number would be miscalculated and had to be reversed.

Although Sima Shi does not have to participate in this process, he is also obviously nervous, after all, the result of this accounting will determine how many men and horses should be recruited, that is to say, with the current financial resources, how many recruits can be fed at most, if the number is sufficient, Jizhou's defense problem should be solved, if the number is lower than estimated, it is still not possible to effectively solve Jizhou's problem.

The problem of Jizhou is completely related to the problem of Youzhou, now that Youzhou is lost, Sima Jun has no ability to recover Youzhou for the time being, then they must hold on to Jizhou and wait for the opportunity, if even Jizhou is lost, then the situation in the entire Hebei will completely collapse.

And Hebei sits on half of Cao Wei's country, once lost, Luoyang is in danger, for Sima Shi, who is ambitious to take over the power of the world, such a result is simply unbearable.

This night, the wing room of the General's Mansion has always been brightly lit, except for the toilet, all people are not allowed to leave the office, even dinner, is sent in by the servants of the General's Mansion, hastily eat two bites, and have to bury their heads in calculations.

Sima Shi ordered that he must get accurate accounting results before dawn, after all, Sima Shi had promised Zhong Hui to come the next day. The loss of Youzhou has made the situation in Jizhou suddenly become severe, and if reinforcements are not sent to Jizhou as soon as possible, the loss of Jizhou is also imminent.

However, Zhong Hui put forward a request of 100,000 foot soldiers to Sima Shi, which really made Sima Shi a little embarrassed, in such a short period of time, where did he go to raise such a large army, it was difficult to solve the fire from afar.

Rather than tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall and transferring troops everywhere, so that the defense of various places has become very tense, it is better to tap the potential of Jizhou on the spot, enrich the army with the local people, and strengthen the momentum, so as to hold on to the city and ensure that Jizhou is not lost.

Sima Lun put forward this suggestion, so that Sima Shi was amazed, you must know that Sima Lun is only ten years old, ordinary ten-year-old children, at most can read a Analects, read a Book of Poetry, and Sima Lun is young, he already knows the three Tao Six Strategies, knows the general trend of the world, he can put forward the concept of all the people are soldiers, it is already quite remarkable, as for how much of the army can be supported by Jizhou's money and grain, this has nothing to do with Sima Lun, only the number of strict calculations is the most correct.

The entire east wing room was bright all night, and Sima Shi also stayed awake all night, he didn't even take off his coat, but just took a nap on the side of the case, until Zuo Changshi reported to him: "General, the results of the accounting are out." ”

Sima Shi immediately opened one eye, sat up on the ground, and asked urgently, "What is the result?" ”

Zuo Chang Shiyu reported: "According to Jizhou's current grain stocks and estimated taxes that can be received, as well as the ordnance, equipment, baggage, grain and grass, and supplies that can be transferred from Luoyang, the most conservative estimate is that 300,000 troops can be conscripted in Jizhou, and all the grain and grass can be spent for one year." ”

"Three hundred thousand?" Sima Shi suddenly had a sense of overjoy, Zhong Hui named 100,000 soldiers and horses, Jizhou can recruit 300,000 people, even if the newly recruited army is weaker in combat effectiveness, two to one, then 200,000 horses can meet his requirements, now to 300,000 people, Sima Shi believes that Jizhou's defense will be significantly improved to a large extent.

The strength of the Bingzhou army lies in the powerful cavalry, if you really have to put these 300,000 people on the plain and fight with the cavalry of the Bingzhou army, then it is estimated that you don't know how miserable the death is, and no matter how many people there are, it will be useless.

But these newly recruited soldiers are not fighting in the field, but defending the city, in front of the city wall, no matter how strong the cavalry of the state army is, it will not help, as long as the Jizhou army can control the important cities, the situation in Jizhou will be firmly in their hands.

At present, Sima Shi claims to have an army of 500,000 troops, but less than half of the troops can really be mobilized.

If Jizhou can suddenly add 300,000 mobile forces, this is simply incredible.

"Have you checked it? Are the results accurate? Sima Shi is most concerned about this problem, even he is a little incredulous, in Jizhou suddenly added 300,000 people, the pressure on logistics support is not too great, if the logistics support grain and grass supply chain drops, no matter how much the army will collapse, in the end it is just empty joy.

Zuo Changshi swore solemnly: "General, please rest assured, this result has been carefully checked three times, and everyone agrees that there is no problem, and these 300,000 people are the minimum guarantee limit, if the war situation is urgent, there is no problem in temporarily recruiting about 100,000 people." ”

Sima Shi nodded and said, "Okay, everyone has worked hard, you go back and rest, those who participated in the accounting last night will be rewarded." In addition, it is rumored that the right long Shi Zhong will come to Jin to see him. ”

Although Zhong Hui has been appointed by Sima Shi as the general of Zhengbei and the governor of Hebei, and he did not participate in the accounting work last night, this appointment has not yet been officially issued, and the official position of Zhong Hui is still the right long history of the general, so Sima Shi will call him so.

Zuo Changshi retired, returned to the east wing, and said to everyone: "The general is very satisfied with the result, everyone disperse, go back to rest early, the general will not treat everyone badly, and there will be another reward later." ”

After staying up all night, these people all had red circles under their eyes and were exhausted, but after hearing the good news of the reward, they were overjoyed, and this night was not in vain.

Everyone retired one after another and went back to make up for sleep, Zuo Changshi didn't dare to rest, and immediately sent someone to inform Zhong Hui that the general was invited.
