Chapter 428: The Problem

There is no such thing as a large-scale troop transfer, after all, the troops of the five counties should have been transferred to Nanling a long time ago, except for the necessary remaining troops, and the troops that should have been transferred to Nanling were gathered early, so that in some ways there was a much less chance of being detected by the spies.

Xiao He, as the chief logistics dispatch officer of the military marquis, is very busy, and the expedition of an army will not be as simple as shouting at the master to open up, how many troops need how much grain and straw they need at what time, which troops lack what equipment needs to be dispatched, and the collection of vehicles, horses and other materials will not be a simple matter.

In the end, it was determined that the number of troops that would be transferred south again was 200,000, of which 50,000 belonged to the Eastern Corps that was already in Zhouling, 30,000 was the Janissary Guard that had not yet completed its training, and the rest were the troops that were supposed to be used as Tuntian soldiers.

It must be explained that after the whole army was reduced to the old and weak, even the Tuntian soldiers were still strong and young, and the reason why they were not in the main battle sequence was due to many factors, such as hesitation or sluggishness in the execution of orders, lack of awareness of seeking war, and flamboyance.

In fact, Lu Zhe would regard such a strong and strong army as a miscellaneous soldier, and a force composed of young and strong people in the nations could be treated as the main force at any time.

The army was concentrated in Nanling, and Nanling, as the administrative center of the five counties, also had sufficient supplies, so it could be said to be ready within two days.

"You want to go to the army?" Xiao He came to report on the preparation of materials, and overheard that Lu Zhe was going to personally lead the troops south, and felt deeply inappropriate: "The implementation of the internal affairs of the five counties still requires you to sit in Nanling. ”

The implementation of internal affairs will more or less destroy the interests of some people, so it is necessary for Lu Zhe, the master of the five counties, to be in charge.

Kuaitong also felt inappropriate, now it is not entirely in the entrepreneurial stage, what Lu Zhe should do is to sit in the center to deal with government affairs, and at the same time, because of the marriage with Zhao Chu, some communication can only be done by Lu Zhe himself, not to mention that the situation in the Central Plains has been changing, so that Lu Zhe can not devote himself to a battle of the Southern Expedition that he does not know when it will be finished.

Several people joined the ranks of persuasion, and they all had the same idea. The foundation of the five counties is not easy to come by, and Lu Zhe has no descendants now, if there is an accident on the battlefield that is not afraid of 10,000, what should it be.

Why isn't it the start-up stage now? Lu Zhe thinks that now is the real beginning of entrepreneurship, and what five counties may have chaos due to many reforms in internal affairs, it is purely a matter of thinking too much.

Regarding the implementation of internal affairs, Lu Zhe is very clear that he has taken care of almost all aspects, not only has there been many policies to benefit the people in Qianshou, but the interests of the gentry and clans in various parts of the five counties have not been touched. Does this kind of administration, which does little harm to the interests of many parties, create chaos? Isn't that a joke?

"It would be nice to have a son now." Yan Bi muttered as if he was talking to himself.

Lu Zhe's ear power has always been good, so he naturally heard what Yan Bi was saying. In an instant he understood. It turned out that he was worried about what would happen to the pro-conquest, as the founder of this foundation, that is, once he had an accident, the pattern of the unification of the five counties would inevitably be broken, and many people who were vested interests might be beaten back to their original shape.

Seems like that's really the case, huh? Lu Zhe was silent for a long time and asked, "Who is the commander of the second wave of southbound troops?" ”

Everyone didn't speak for a while, Sima Xin was the commander of the Southern Army, but Sima Xin was now besieged by Luo County, and it was obviously impossible to command the second wave of troops going south.

The rise of their side was short, although they fought many battles of at least 100,000 people. However, it has always been Lu Zhe himself who commanded the battle, and there have been several times when he led the army alone to lead the battle, one of which has gone to Hengshan County, and the other is in Lujiang County. Except for the co-lieutenant and Jibu. Who among the rest can command an army of 200,000 men?

After being dumbfounded for a long time, Yan Bi glanced at Mei Kai, who was a little nervous.

Mei Kai's performance in the Battle of Danyang was not bad, but that time he only commanded 10,000 defenders.

This time the battle in the south is not to defend the city, it needs to be detoured, outflanked, and encircled. There are quite strict requirements for the talents of generals, and Mei Kai is afraid that it is difficult to do it.

Su Lie had the experience of leading more than 100,000 troops to aid Danyang in that battle, but everyone knew that Su Lie's appearance in that battle was a bit bad. This guy was originally going to be left by Lu Zhe as the general who commanded the pro-army. Later, he asked to go out himself, and only then did he become one of the deputy commanders of the Eastern Army.

Looking up, the generals in Nanling seemed to be unable to command 200,000 troops to complete the strategic goal of the southward operation, and they sighed that there was no one to recommend, and finally they could only look at their own masters helplessly.

The position where Lu Zhe was sitting could see everyone's expressions, and he was also sighing that there were really few generals under his command who could take charge alone, and what should he do if there were many battles.

If the battle of Changsha County was just a simple regain of territory, Lu Zhe could let the generals under his command train him, so it didn't matter who he sent over. It's just that this time they not only want to recover the territory of Changsha County, but also annihilate all the Baiyue people in Changsha, so they can't afford any experience, they can only go all out.

Mei Kai also thought through this heavy relationship, hesitated and felt that her ability was insufficient, so she suppressed the idea that was about to move. He swept his eyes around, and found that Yan Bi was stunned for a moment when he showed a meaningful smile to himself.

"Why don't you ......," Kuaitong said hesitantly: "Transfer Ji Bu back?" ”

Lu Zhe showed a smile that seemed to be smiling, Ji Bu had enough time to be transferred back, but who would replace Ji Bu, who led the army to attack and harass Chu in the east. In addition, does he really have a reason not to leave Nanling? If you think about it, there seems to be no reason why you can't leave, except for the worries of accidents!

"Lord, Qin State, Qin State." Kuaitong doesn't know if his master really forgot or thinks so-called.

"Qin State?" Lu Zhe didn't react a little, he had already sent Lu Jia to Qin to alleviate the impact of the marriage with Zhao Chu, what else was there besides this?

"Didn't you get a request before?" Kuaitong was sure that Lu Zhe had really forgotten, and reminded: "You asked Luo Shao to lead the army to Shu County, but later ordered Luo Shao to go south and make a detour. ”

Lu Zhe patted his forehead and groaned, he really omitted this matter, who let Qin Guo not reply after two months of writing.

Luo Shao led the army to the south, and Lu Zhe had no main generals in Tong County and Qu Ren County that Lu Zhe had captured earlier, and there were only a few less than 40,000 troops left in Ba County, and the Qin army's garrisons in Ba County and Hanzhong County were more or less 50,000 or 60,000.

Tong County and Qu Ren County were the two important places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River controlled by LΓΌ Zhe, in order to prevent the Qin State from descending the upper reaches of the Yangtze River as the Qin State once attacked the Chu State.

At the risk of tearing his face, he took the Tong County and the Qu Ren County, if he was taken back because of omission, not to mention whether the Qin State would attack the South County at a time when there was a war in the Central Plains, a war in Shu County, and the Hu people in the northern grasslands who would go south at any time, it would be careless and mistaken to just say that the strategic danger was not in his control.

The radiation to Bajun is related to the possibility of a war in the Qin State, and it is also a quick way to send troops when the Qin State changes, and Kuaitong grasps this point with an eye on the future. He didn't want Lu Zhe to leave the administrative center of Nanling and had many purposes, in addition to the marriage matters that Lu Zhe himself had to deal with, it was also in consideration of the changes in the Central Plains because of the shrinkage of Zhao Guo.

Wang Ben sent troops to attack Huguan under the pass and was blocked by Wuchen, Zhang Er led his troops to defeat the Qin army's foot soldiers and then defeated in the hands of Wang Ben, this news has been carefully transmitted back to Nanling.

As a partial division of the Central Plains Army, Wang Ben won first and then lost, and then defeated and then won, just from the perspective of intelligence, it was full of drama, which made people laugh and cry at the same time, and at the same time had to think about what this meant for the Central Plains war.

The embarrassing result of Wang Ben's undefeated and undefeated army was to retract back to Taiyuan County, but in the sense of the overall situation, this partial division of the Central Plains Army was equivalent to losing the strength to fight again for a long time, after all, Wang Ben's army was defeated again, so it took some time to clean up the troops and restore the combat effectiveness of the army.

It is not that Xu Yan can not attack alone, but the grand strategy of the Qin army's north-south attack is bankrupt because of Wang Ben's reckless moves, but Xu Yan's attack along the way may be able to achieve results, but the lone army to advance step by step is the most demoralizing and physical, and it is estimated that Xu Yan will not have the ability to attack the fortified position when he leads the army to Handan City.

Moreover, the news of the marriage between Lu Zhe and Zhao Guo must be exposed, if Xu Yan was sensible, he would not have launched an offensive independently when Wang Ben lost the strength to fight again and Lu Zhe married Zhao Guo, after all, since Lu Zhe married Zhao Guo, it is possible to send troops to the north, and at the same time, Xu Yan will have to wait for the reaction of the Xianyang center.

As soon as the marriage with Zhao was reached, Lu Zhe was going to personally lead the army to the south, so if Zhao Guo knew, would it be misunderstood as just a marriage and not save each other?

At the same time, Lu Zhe personally led the army south, if the Qin State reacted violently to the marriage of Zhao and Chu, and the Xianyang Center ordered Xu Yan to turn south, how should it be handled?

Qin Guo was annoyed and embarrassed and changed his strategic intentions, and this matter had to be considered and prevented, so Kuaitong really didn't understand what Lu Zhe was thinking about to want to go to the army.

Everyone present looked at each other when they saw that Lu Zhe had not spoken for a long time, the military generals among them were holding their breath, and Wen Chen was looking at the soles of his feet.

The new forces are so troublesome, the situation has just opened, there are layers of concerns, and there may be quite a lot of ways to make a choice, but there are few people who can stand up and take responsibility, in the final analysis, it is not that the forces are not mature enough?

"Alas!" There was no general to send, and what he thought in his heart was not understood, Lu Zhe sighed speechlessly. (To be continued......)
