Chapter 370: Desire~Hope (I)
There will be problems, and sooner or later there will be problems.
Everyone is happy to see the construction of the army, after all, now is the time for a great use of troops, and the absence of an army is equivalent to the absence of security. The construction of the army is also willing to support, but what if it gets out of control if it trains an army that is so extreme that only the collective has no right or wrong?
Many people know that attaching importance to the military is not the same as indulgence, but they don't understand why their own masters would choose to turn a blind eye and ignore such a blatant truth.
Fooling around? Do you know the military discipline to restrain the soldiers? Is it really that simple?
There are many question marks hanging over the heads of many people, who do not feel that an army that has been indulged can be restrained by military discipline. Because people learn badly quickly, it may take a lifetime to learn well.
"They're just foolish!" Lu Zhe said with a smile to the generals and colonels in the surrounding military system.
As a member of the military, the lord's preferential treatment of the army is naturally something that the generals and colonels are very happy about, so that they will not care about the things that the civilian system is worried about.
Lu Zhe's preferential treatment of the military can be seen by anyone in the military system, but on the other hand, Lu Zhe's preferential treatment has a premise, that is, the military should unite around Lu Zhe, and they also understand this.
If in modern times, these people in the military know the meaning of the term "warlord", they will surely understand why Lu Zhe did that.
Isn't it just to entrap the military? In the era of war, only the army is the foundation of a qiē, and people with a little brain will first gain the heart of the army, and others such as the contradictions between the military and the people, the arrogance of the military attaché, etc., are all "small things" that can be put aside temporarily.
Lu Zhe's current identity and status are all brought by the army, and he is very aware of the importance of the people's will, but the military spirit is even more important to him. Besides, he is just educating the soldiers of the army to have a sense of community, and he didn't let them oppress the good, right? Ideological education and military discipline will be used to restrain them later, and things have not happened yet, so why would people in the civilian system have such a big reaction?
Being difficult to understand is not the same as not understanding. In fact, since the order for the separation of military and political affairs was issued, the distinction between civil and military has existed. The civil service system is admonishing, complaining, worrying, and all kinds of things are speaking out, reminding Lu Zhe that he should at least think about local affairs.
This phenomenon is what happens to every group of Chinese martial arts, when their own monarch completely biases their attention and preferences to one side, regardless of whether the civil and military will try their best to increase their chances of showing their faces and attract the attention of the monarch. If you want to describe it in two words, it is called inviting pets.
"Lord, it is divided into three periods, the first of which is one month. The second phase is three months, and the third phase is half a year. After these three periods, if the number of qualified soldiers exceeds the predetermined number, then ......" Ji Bu shyly faced, he already knew that he would be the commander of the legion of one side, and he would receive the rank of lieutenant general, so he should strive for more benefits for the military no matter what.
Lu Zhe was talking to Han Xin, and when he heard Ji Bu ask about the final number of troops, he glanced at Ji Bu and didn't bother to deal with it at all.
The threat of the Qin army has been preliminarily resolved. Less than half of the 100,000 Qin soldiers chose to stay, and the other half had already been sent in batches to let them return to their hometowns.
Why is it preliminary? The answer lies in the fact that the Qin army is no longer organized, but the people who are difficult to keep will really be of the same mind as the Southern Bloc, and God knows if the war will not go well or be in an embarrassing situation in the future, and those who remain will have other thoughts.
The original planned main battle force was 150,000. However, the Southern Army Corps, which was originally scheduled to go south in full batches and composed of the Qin army, no longer exists, so there is only an appropriate increase in troops.
At the same time, with the disappearance of the Qin military system, it will inevitably cause a follow-up reaction. After all, the army left in the south by the Qin State disappeared from the organization, and the generals and colonels of the various ministries were attached to them, and those who were not attached were all locked up. The capital that Great Qin used to contain Lu Zhe no longer exists, so it must have to make a further reaction.
In Lu Zhe's expectation, the increasingly difficult Great Qin did not have the troops to transfer south, in fact, even if Great Qin had surplus troops and did not concentrate enough troops to sweep out the Southern Group at one time, Great Qin would not choose to make a big move.
There are too many wars that Great Qin needs to deal with now.
Great Qin battles have always liked to sweep all the way through in a flat way, so it also indicates that the strength of the Qin army cannot be much less than that of the enemy.
The 150,000 formations of the Central Plains Army to the south have disappeared, which is equivalent to saying that the strength of the Central Plains Army has lost almost one-third. The formation of the Central Plains Army was to sweep away the rebellion in the Central Plains, and in the face of the restoration of all the states of Shandong and the restoration of the administration and establishment of the army, it was obvious that the 250,000 troops could not form a superior force.
If you want to sweep the Central Plains, facing Zhao, Qi, and Yan, who have been restored and built an army, only 250,000 troops are definitely not enough. Qin State has done a secret work, Zhao Wang Xie is crazy to expand the army, the total number of Zhao army has expanded to nearly 600,000, and the restored Qi and Yan are also expanding their armies frantically, and when the Qin army solves Zhao, I don't know how much it will swell.
Zhao expanded the army, Daqin was not too worried about this, because Zhao lost step by step on the battlefield, the army expansion was expanded, but it was not well trained, even if it was expanded to one million soldiers, the Qin army was very confident in the battlefield in the face of those Zhao troops who lacked training.
The state of Qi and the state of Yan have the state of Zhao as a barrier, and there is time to train the newly expanded army, and the Qin army is one day late to solve the state of Zhao, and the combat effectiveness of the armies of the two countries will be strengthened.
In order to solve the Zhao State more quickly, the Qin State could not only rely on 250,000 troops, so it was imperative to replenish the troops of the Central Plains Army.
In the counties that the Qin State was still in control, a large number of young and strong people received notices of military service, and they first concentrated in Neishi County, formed a system, and then opened to Wang Ben or Xu Yan's headquarters in Taiyuan County and Dang County respectively.
The Great Qin Center expects to increase the strength of the Central Plains Army to 500,000 by the beginning of spring next year, including 200,000 for Wang Ben's division on the north route and 300,000 for Xu Yan on the south route.
As long as the winter passes, even if the corresponding baggage does not arrive, the Qin army on both routes will immediately launch an offensive.
I was in a hurry, but the Qin State had no choice, the countries had been sitting back and watching the Zhao State alone for so long, and they couldn't expect the countries to sit back and watch all the time.
Under Meng Tian's plea, the Northern Frontier Army also increased its troops by 50,000, with a total of 200,000 Northern Frontier Army. At present, Meng Tian is trying to build a fortress system, and intends to build a denser and stronger defense system in the direction of the grassland in the northern and upper counties than the one built by Lu Zhe in the southern county.
To tell the truth, if the 200,000 Northern Xinjiang Army wants to prevent the steppe cavalry coming and going without a trace, it can only rely on a perfect fortress system to block the defense. If you are engaged in a field battle, you can't be completely wiped out, and it's not easy to kill even if you want to; If you lose, it will be miserable, and two legs will definitely not be able to outrun four legs.
Meng Tian's prediction of the battle for the Xianyang center was more pessimistic, he believed that it would be difficult to plug the gap of the Hu people to the south by relying on the 200,000 northern Xinjiang army alone, and if the Hu people relied on the mobility of the cavalry not to fight with the main force of the Qin army but to break through from the empty range, the Hu people were likely to kill directly under the city of Xianyang. He was trying his best to come up with a plan to let the Hu people not bypass the northern Xinjiang army and go south, and try his best to seek a decisive battle with the Hu people on the border.
Want the Hu people to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army? There seems to be only one way to go. Meng Tian said that what he needed to do was to approach the Xiongnu court in Yinshan, so that he could force the Hu people to fight a decisive battle. However, in this way, it is difficult to leave a garrison in the fortress system and approach the Xiongnu royal court, and the 200,000 troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army are simply unable to do this.
For Great Qin, Shu County couldn't ignore it, so after the defeat of Moshui, the center of Qin State cobbled together nearly 30,000 troops and was consolidating the defense line after recovering Yandao County. The Qin army, with a total of less than 50,000 people, faced the 130,000 people of the Qiang and Baiyue, and it was not known whether they could stop the increasing number of invaders.
Considering the situation that the Qin State was about to face, Lu Zhe believed that the center of the Qin State was only criticizing with a fierce reaction, and could only eat this dumb loss.
The form of Daqin is too complicated and too difficult, even if you understand that Lu Zhe is a bone spur in the flesh, all you can do now is to try your best to stabilize Lu Zhe, otherwise there are three fronts in the north, the Central Plains, and Shu County, and then let Lu Zhe enter Ba County to attack Hanzhong County, then it is predictable to be forced into Neishi County.
"I don't understand, sooner or later, we will be at war with the Qin State, why not join while the world is attacking Qin. Now as long as we choose to attack Qin, the nations, including Baiyue and Xiongnu, will immediately form an alliance with a vast territory and a large number of manpower, and it seems that it is not difficult to destroy Qin, why don't we seize this opportunity? Xiao Hanxin asked very practically.
It's a great opportunity, it's really possible to destroy the Qin State from multiple fronts, but what about after the Qin State is destroyed?
"All the countries have incense love, and they will confront and compete after destroying the Qin State, but what they are more likely to do is to work together to destroy the Qin State and then neatly point the finger at us. For the nations, once the Qin State is destroyed, we are the most threatening to them. ”
"Why? Aren't we also anti-Qin? And it was because we joined the attack on Qin that the dilemma faced by the Qin State was expanded by at least ten times, and we made great efforts to destroy the Qin State, how could they do that? ”
"Yes, when we join the attack on Qin, it is the last straw that is pressed on the overwhelmed back of the Qin State. Once our troops force Neishi County and march to the city of Xianyang, then the Qin army in various places will definitely retreat if they need King Qin, whether it is the Hu people, the Baiyue people, or the Central Plains countries, they will be able to chase after the ass of the Qin army from all walks of life and participate in the joint siege of Xianyang without paying much price......"
Xiao Hanxin won't understand, for the nations, Lu Zhe is an upstart, no matter how much effort he puts into the war against Qin, as long as the Qin State is gone, this upstart is a rat mixed in with them, and he must have the intention of getting rid of it quickly. (To be continued......)
