Chapter 171: No Time
After ordering the troops to train every five days and ready to go to war at any time, Wang Buye directly summoned the two prime ministers.
When the country is established, many things cannot be as casual as before.
Generally speaking, except for the enemy invasion and internal rebellious forces, when the country needs to use force, it is necessary to conduct temple calculations in advance.
A long time ago, the function of temple calculations was only to inform ancestors, pray for blessings and blessings.
With the development of the times, as wars become more and more cruel, and as humans understand wars become more and more deeply.
The practical significance of temple calculation has gradually shifted towards reality.
Especially after Sun Tzu's Art of War was published, temple calculations were gradually taken seriously.
Temple calculations are to count logistics, count troops, select generals, formulate combat strategic plans, and estimate internal forms.
To put it simply, it is to deduce the upcoming war. If the temple calculation cannot predict that one's side will win, then when other methods can be used to stabilize the situation, it will generally not send troops.
The siege of Bai Deng in history made Liu Bang recognize the form, so the whole man began to get up.
After decades of savings, the country could only support the consumption of this war by Emperor Wu of Han, so the battle started.
Regularity has the benefits of formality, and regularity has the disadvantages of formality.
"How long can our grain reserves last?" Wang Buye asked directly.
"Your Majesty, it's almost done when the autumn harvest is over!" Chen Ping replied.
It has been months since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and no grain has been collected from the people. All the grains and grasses used are directly received from warehouses in various counties.
In fact, military farming is a helpless move. If military farming is not carried out, Wang Bue ordered the tax rate to be reduced. At the same time, he also announced a policy of exempting tax for the whole people from three years and exempting tax for the six years for the country's meritorious soldiers.
In other words, if he did not farm, he would not be able to hold on for even a year.
"What if I send troops to Guanzhong?" Wang Buye asked again.
"The food and grass are enough to support it. According to the situation learned from the scout, it will be no problem to take Guanzhong within half a year, but it will be a problem in the future!" Zhang Liang shook his head and said.
The current situation makes him less optimistic than sending troops directly to Guanzhong.
"Originally, after the autumn harvest, more than 400,000 troops had been formed. After the autumn harvest, it was the slack farming period. The king could continue to recruit soldiers and stayed behind to train new soldiers. The combat power would be achieved in one or two months. At that time, the 300,000 troops were heading westward, and Qin Ting could not stop them. After taking Guanzhong, the new troops could be transferred to Guanzhong to replace them. The westward troops went out of Zhao to fight with the Qin army. In this way, both of them would not be delayed." At this point, Zhang Liang sighed.
"Hey, there are still tens of thousands of troops in the 400,000 army. It is also the time to farm. Even if the grain planting is sown, they will go on the expedition. After taking Guanzhong, there will be no troops to replace them. At that time, the main force will probably fall into Guanzhong and cannot escape. If the Chu army cannot stop it, the Han territory will inevitably fall into war..."
"Not necessarily..." Wang Buye interrupted Zhang Liang's words.
Although history has changed, some things in history may not be able to change.
How did Liu Bang enter Guanzhong in history?
How did Liu Bang win Guanzhong?
Wang Buye knew very well that what Zhang Liang was worried about was nothing more than the difficulty of dealing with the old nobles of the six countries.
"What if I can get rid of the nobles of the six countries?" Wang Buye said.
"This..." Zhang Liang was speechless.
How to solve it?
What a fuss?
How many nobles in the six countries in Xianyang are there?
Not to mention too many, there are still ten thousand people, right?
Although they have been away from their hometown for many years, if Wang Buye really attacked these people, how should he recover their hometown in the future?
Although the people may not care about them, they are afraid that those who are interested will fan the flames.
"Put your heart into your stomach, I am not that stupid!" Wang Bue smiled slightly.
These nobles in Xianyang are indeed a big trouble.
It is troublesome not to let them go, and it is not easy to deal with these people in their own hands.
It is even more troublesome to let them go, because the Six Kingdoms don’t want them to go back at all.
"Continue to recruit soldiers from all over the country, train every five days, and don't have to leave the village, just leave the training to the military farming troops."
"I ordered Guan Ying to speed up the farming speed, sow the grain seeds and hand over the official fields to local management, and all gathered to prepare for the expedition."
"In addition, I will send an order to Zhang Han to induce surrender to Hangu Pass!"
Wang Buye issued three orders in succession, each one without doubt.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Liang was shocked. Why is this so good and not following the rules?
Didn’t you agree to prepare the temple?
I'll just ask about the situation and then decide to start a war?
However, Zhang Liang not only has IQ online, but also emotional intelligence.
"Your Majesty, you have to let me know some confidence, right? Otherwise, what if you make a conflict when you make a mistake?"
Wang Buye nodded and then said, "Summon Peng Yue!"
In a short while, Peng Yue arrived anxiously.
There was no one who could turn away the others, and only these people could appear here, plus the imperial guards. If even these people were trusted, then Wang Buye was too aggrieved.
"The people in Guanzhong are easily able to get the hearts of the people. I will go to the battle myself in person, but before that, Peng Yue..."
Wang Buye explained his plan in detail.
If Wang Buye could go as planned, of course he wouldn't be so anxious.
But now the plan obviously cannot keep up with the changes. The Qin army led by Wang Li is too fierce. If Wang Li occupied Xindu before the Chu reinforcements arrived, then it would be hard to say what the battle will be like.
More importantly, although there is no Zhang Han and Li You in the Central Plains, there are Han troops larger than them.
According to information, the Chu army did not come out in full bloom.
For this reason, Wang Buye did not even doubt that if Xin did not persist until the Chu army arrived, he would fall, and the Chu army would probably turn around and return to Chu State.
From a strategic perspective, attacking the Han army that was in the military farm was obviously more suitable than attacking the Chu army that had fully returned to defense.
If the Han army is held back for half a year, the Han army will be in a crisis of food shortage.
Although the Chu army was slightly weak, their family was still there. Even if they didn't farm for three or two years, they could ensure that the army had food.
Therefore, at this time, the Han army, which is more powerful and has more obvious weaknesses, will be more spiritual.
For the Qin army, as long as the Han army can be dragged to death, the future will be promising.
"Your Majesty, can this work?" Zhang Liang expressed his suspicion with a confused look on his face.
"Your Majesty, why not let the scout do this first, and then mobilize troops after the matter is completed..." Chen Ping also gave his own suggestions.
Wang Buye shook his head and immediately signaled Peng Yue to do it immediately.
Chapter completed!
