Chapter Ninety-Eight: Expansion of the Army

The sky was shining at dusk, and the whole sky was blood-red. The smell of blood in the air could not be dissolved, and Ying Fei held the county chronicle and stood at the head of the city with a solemn expression.

What catches your eye is a huge Gobi Desert, with only a few bushes, scattered alone. The yellow sand in front of you, the lonely city, adds a touch of desolation to this sky.

Fight strong troops to capture the three counties of Yuanquan. Although Ying Fei can be based in Dunhuang, there is a big problem in front of her. It spanned four thousand miles all the way, came out of Luoyang City, and traveled all the way.

In addition to embezzling grain, grass and money along the way, he carried 3,000 stones of grain and grass without taking a penny. Now the capture of the three counties, the rations of the three armies, and the livelihood of the people are all pressed on Yingfei's shoulders.

At this moment, the talent crisis finally broke out. Dealing with government affairs, appeasing the people, and ensuring the smooth flow of grain roads, such a talent as a prime minister is what Yingfei is currently in urgent need.

At dusk, Ying Fei's desire to seek talent skyrocketed. The three counties are hundreds of miles long, and although they are connected, they cannot be guarded together. Now that the three counties are in hand, it means that the troops in Yingfei's hands will be diverted.

Excluding the dead and wounded, nine thousand soldiers. The lack of troops under the diversion will be a major dilemma.

"Most of the protections."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed and he walked towards the city tower. When Ying'an County was captured, Ying Fei's command center moved over, and Guo Jia naturally followed.

"Now the three counties have been taken, our army is 9,000, and the troops are insufficient, what does Fengxiao have to say?"

Listening to the footsteps, Ying Fei knew that Guo Jia had arrived. Dian Wei's footsteps were deep, and he walked with the unique sonorous voice of a martial artist. And Shi Ah walked, quietly.

Only Guo Jia will have a lack of footsteps and a lack of middle qi, which is related to Guo Jia's physique and stubborn diseases.

"Yuanquan, Shatou, and the three counties of Shen'an. It is a place where we stand, and we must not abandon it. Guo Jia's eyes moved, and the bright light flickered, and said.

"Most of them want to annex Qiang, Qiangrong, Jiangqiang, and unify Dunhuang County. Based on Dunhuang County, Jiuquan was conquered in the east and 36 countries in the Western Regions in the west. ”

"Then, Shen'an County will definitely become the source of war. The center of our army is located in the underworld, and we need a large army to be stationed. Jia believes that Xiao Zhan led a thousand horsemen and town Shatou. Gan Yi led a thousand horsemen to guard the Yuanquan. ”

"The 7,000 army will be led by Dadu, with Dian Wei, Helange, and Qin Chuan as generals, sitting in the underworld and planning the world."

word by word, Guo Jia said plainly. He didn't hesitate at all, and it was clear that he had already planned. Ying Fei's eyes flashed, and she turned her head and looked at Guo Jiadao.

"Come with Fei."

The two of them walked back and forth and walked towards the middle hall of the county government. In the middle hall, Ying Fei spread out the map, glanced at Guo Jia, stared at the map and said, "Fengxiao, you look."

Shatou County is located in the northwest of Jiuquan County, with Yuanquan in the west and Ganqi in the east. The Jiuquan county guard did not pay much attention to this, and with five hundred horses and five hundred black shields, he was towned. ”

"Good."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a gleam and nodded. He had to admit that it was a wonderful method.

Ying Fei's fingertips drew a straight line on the map and said to Guo Jia: "Yuanquan County is sandwiched between Shatou and Ming'an, once the enemy invades, our army can send troops from Shatou and Ming'an to solve its crisis."

"And Ming'an County is close to Guangzhi, which is the place where our army is soldiers." Ying Fei's finger stopped in Shen'an County, stared at Guo Jia's eyes and said, "Therefore, this place should be a heavy soldier."

After a pause, wait for Guo Jia to digest it. Ying Fei swiped his finger all the way, pointed to Jiuquan and said: "Fei has consulted the files, there are 1,206 households in Jiuquan County, totaling more than 58,200 people."

In Dunhuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of Han people to the border. More than 400 years have passed, and now there are less than 100,000 Han people in Dunhuang County, and only 300,000 people in the two counties are mixed with Qiang and Xiongnu. ”

The population is sparse and cannot support Ying Fei's ambitions at all. In one remark, the biggest shortcoming at present was exposed. Guo Jia has always been resourceful, but this matter is no longer human.

"There is no good plan for this matter."

Glancing at Guo Jia, Ying Fei's eyes flashed and she was silent. He naturally knew that Dunhuang County could not be used by him to compete for world domination. Grain, grass, and population will all be limited.

Even if it is the four counties of Hexi, they all occupy it. The people are less than a million, and the resources are scarce, and they are not enough to serve as the foundation of the emperor. But Ying Fei knew in his heart that in this era, he had a chance.

The Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and for a time rioters in eight states were rampant. Once the center of the Han Dynasty reacts, these millions of thugs will be a huge source of troops.

At that time, Ying Fei only needed to send a strong army into the Central Plains and shelter it from Dunhuang. It will fill Dunhuang and Jiuquan for a time.

It's just that at this time, there is still a year and a half before the outbreak of the yellow scarf. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and Ying Fei can't tell Guo Jia frankly about this matter.

Ying Fei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then became sharp. is like a divine blade, killing people between opening and closing. Ying Fei hesitated for a moment, and Ying Fei said.

"If you want to conquer the 36 countries of the Western Regions, you must first take Dunhuang, and then take Jiuquan, with the human, financial, and material resources of the two counties. Train a strong army and conquer the Western Regions. ”

"Fengxiao, Fei wants to take Jiuquan County to strengthen it, why do you think so?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, he took a deep look at Ying Fei, and was silent for a long time. Ying Fei is the county guard of Dunhuang, once he sets foot in Jiuquan, this is a rebellion.

Although the Han Dynasty did not have enough control over the four counties of Hexi, there was a sense that it was beyond the reach of the whip. However, Ying Fei's move is tantamount to challenging the dignity of the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty will be furious with thunder and wrath, and he will punish the army to destroy him.

"Dadu Hu, this matter is very important, and you need to be cautious." Facing Ying Fei's sharp gaze, Guo Jia hesitated.

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Liu's orthodoxy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which could not be changed overnight. In Guo Jia's eyes, doubts flashed, he had already noticed that Ying Fei was wrong.

Combined with Ying Fei's surname, Guo Jia looked shocked. A little panicked, he didn't expect that Yingfei was not plotting against the 36 countries of the Western Regions, but the Great Han Kyushu.

Glancing at Guo Jia, Ying Fei's expression changed, and murderous intent appeared in her eyes, and then disappeared. He has never underestimated Guo Jia and has always been cautious.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia still noticed it.

"Fengxiao, the new occupation of Ming'an County, and the matter of Zhang Bang'an and the people are at your disposal." Ying Fei's eyes moved, and she decided to skip the topic. This matter has been entangled and is not good for anyone.

"No."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then understood Ying Fei's plan. Skipping this matter can avoid embarrassment for the two. The Han Dynasty, four hundred years, for him Guo Jia, a son of a poor family, the centripetal force is not great.

Ying Fei is not anti-Han, Guo Jia doesn't care, all he cares about is what he has learned. As long as Ying Fei is reused and biased, Guo Jia doesn't mind subverting the Han Dynasty.

"Fiji wants to expand the army by 20,000, why is Feng Xiao?"

In Guo Jia's silence, Ying Fei's eyes moved and said to Guo Jia.
