Chapter 716: The Wonderful Buyeo
Although the Buyeo Kingdom is small, the pomp and enjoyment of the monarch are no worse than the magnates of the Han Dynasty.
Eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, drink good wine made from grain and fruits, and the dancing girls in the hall are also selected beauties.
Even the plates and plates for food are made of gold and silver, the wine vessels are inlaid with precious stones, and the chopsticks are carved from ivory.
You can see how extravagant it is.
Guan Yu and Zhang Liao glanced at each other, their faces were ugly.
The country is about to be annexed, and these officials are still living a drunken life.
The two looked at Huang Xu in unison.
This time, the commander was neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Liao, but the sick Huang Xu.
Huang Xu has some city mansions, he should eat, he should drink, and he didn't have any expression at all.
Seeing that Huang Xu didn't make a sound, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao had to drink in a sullen voice.
After a while, it was almost time to eat and drink, and Huang Xu put down his wine glass.
"Your Excellency, I don't know how many military horses you have in Fuyu?"
This time they came with a secret mission.
Ma Jia was the chief official in charge of commanding the troops in Buyeo State, and I saw him say: "We have 10,000 military horses in Buyeo State. ”
10,000 people?
Hearing this, Huang Xu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Liao were a little stunned.
Buyeo has a population of one million, and even if there are more old, weak, sick and disabled, it can at least come up with 100,000 young and strong.
Take a step back, and half of the 100,000 young men will be left to work, and 50,000 troops will be gathered.
With these 50,000 troops, it is also a little difficult for the Xianbei people to capture Buyeo, after all, the Xianbei people are not good at conquering cities.
Why does this Buyeo country have so few troops?
Ahem!
Niu Jia, the Minister of Civil Affairs on the side, said embarrassedly: "The envoy doesn't know, the territory of Fuyu is small, the income is limited, and it can't afford to support so many soldiers." ”
Can't afford it?
Everyone in Yunzhou looked at each other again.
As far as the pomp of the king's banquet is concerned, it can be described as a poverty and luxury, and he can't afford to raise soldiers?
In fact, they did not know about the situation of Buyeo, the finance of Buyeo was divided into two parts, the first part was for the king and the nobles, which accounted for more than half, and the rest was the income of the local tribes.
Each side reckoned its own accounts, and each spent its own money.
Even if the local tribes can't get by, the king's side will only let them fend for themselves, and he won't give them a penny.
The soldiers of the royal city were distributed by the king, and there were more than 3,000 people in this part, and the remaining 7,000 people were the armed forces of the royal city government and the surrounding government offices, and the military salary should be distributed by the government, which means that these 10,000 people were also divided into different establishments.
The soldiers directly belonging to the palace are the ones with the best treatment and the strongest combat effectiveness, and the rest are not satisfactory.
After listening to Niu Jia's explanation, everyone in Yunzhou was dumbfounded.
This Buyeo country is really an apprentice of the Han Dynasty, and he has learned even the class level. In such a big place, the army is still divided into three, six, nine and so on.
It's really weird!
It is a miracle that such a strange country has not been destroyed.
Huang Xu frowned and said puzzledly: "What if there is a war?" ”
Fight?
Maga said embarrassedly: "If you fight a war, it's still like this, each small tribe sends troops according to the quota, and each army spends its own expenses. ”
I see!
Huang Xu nodded.
He finally found the reason for the defeat of Buyeo's army in the first battle.
Because they have problems with this model.
Although this method is wonderful, it also has its own advantages, and the king can always maintain his strongest strength.
But once there is a war, there are some problems.
The king's army will naturally fight to the death, but the rest of the army may not.
This is also the disadvantage of treating the military differently.
The Han Dynasty is also divided into central and local armies, but once the war is organized into a single army, it will be treated equally.
This allowed the soldiers to work together.
……
After the banquet, Wei Qiutai personally sent everyone in Yunzhou to the Jingshe to rest.
"This battle can't be fought!"
Guan Yu slapped the table and said angrily: "No wonder these barbarians were defeated in a battle, it turned out that these officials were reluctant to give food." ”
He saw that the palace and the nobles were extremely poor and luxurious, but the soldiers outside could not afford to pay the military salary, and he was very resentful.
Brother!
Zhang Liaogui persuaded: "The small countries on the border are like this, they are directly divided very clearly, and the war is also based on this." ”
He has lived in the border for a long time, and he is still very clear about this.
Guan Yu snorted and was speechless.
"This Buyeo country is just mud that can't support the wall, and we are simply a trip for nothing."
He said to himself.
Originally, when Guo Jia sent them to Fuyu Kingdom, Guan Yu was a little unhappy.
He is the future of guarding the border fortress, and now the Xianbei people are eyeing the tiger, and it is the time to fight.
Guan Erye has been in Guo Jia for some years, but he has never had a chance to come out, and the brothers who have sworn with him, except for Dian Wei, who has been acting as Guo Jia's guard, the rest of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun have also become independent generals.
Guan Erye was very depressed, and it was easy to have a chance to fight, but Guo Jia lined him up in this strange small country?
Come on, let a sick man be his life and death, how can Second Master Guan not be depressed?
If it weren't for the fact that Xiliang's prisoner Pang De taught him a lesson some time ago, Guan Erye would have slapped the table with Huang Xu at this time.
"Huang joins the army!"
Zhang Liao's gaze fell on Huang Xu's body.
"What is the purpose of the lord letting us come this time?"
Guan Erye also pricked up his ears to listen.
When Guo Jia asked them to come out, it was very mysterious, but they just explained everything to obey Huang Xu's arrangement, and the two of them were not very clear.
Two generals!
Huang Xu showed a smile on his face and said: "You don't have to be impatient, the lord naturally asked us to come here, but now is not the time to tell the two, when the time is ripe, I will definitely let the two of you know." ”
After speaking, he hugged his fists and said, "Little brother has to go out for a while in advance, see you in the evening!" ”
Soon Huang Xu left.
He has something to do to find Aman.
Of course, it's also for business.
Aman's father is Wei Qiutai's younger brother Niu Jiaren, and he still has some strength in Buyeo Kingdom.
Soon, Huang Xu left.
This time, he has an important task to do.
And whether this task can be achieved or not, the key lies in this Aman.
Guan Yu slammed the table and sneered: "A certain family looks at this guy as a womanizer." When is this, I haven't forgotten to flirt with the little girl. It was a mistake for the lord to be exclusive. ”
Brother!
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "You can't say that, the lord is like a god, and he sent Brother Huang here, so he naturally has a good intention." You and I just have to do it. ”
He knew that Guan Yu was a little arrogant, and he was not angry at Huang Xu's command, so he persuaded a few words at the moment.
I hope so!
Hearing Zhang Liao's persuasion, Guan Erye calmed down a lot.
The country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change.
Although the incident some time ago made Guan Er's arrogance somewhat restrained, it is impossible to completely eliminate it.
But thanks to Zhang Liao, they can get along with him, and if they want to change things to a bad temper, the two of them have already done it.
I'm sorry, there's something going on in the past two days, I'm going home late, and I'm late for the update, but I'll rest tomorrow, and I'll be sooner, more!
