Chapter 1017: Success in the East and Success in the West (Part 10)
The entire atmosphere in Jicheng seemed extremely solemn. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the prosperous Han Kingdom was at its most dangerous moment. The once good situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for the Han Dynasty. It was attacked on three sides and the strongest in the world. The two Zeng states, Da Qin and Da Chu, simultaneously bared their fangs towards the Han Kingdom.
"Wudi, is the treasury still rich?" Gao Yuan's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. His original plan was suddenly broken by his opponent. The big man who had just regained some strength had to face attacks from several directions at the same time. war.
"Back to the king, last year there was a bumper harvest in Hetao and other places, and there was plenty of food in the warehouses. However, Tianhe, Langya and other places were in need of prosperity due to the war. Therefore, the whole country can basically only balance the balance of payments. This year, the war broke out. I'm afraid the harvests in Hetao and other places are hopeless, but hinterland areas such as Tianhe Langya are beginning to recover. As for the treasury's silver, it can still barely support a year of all-out war." Wang Wudi bowed.
Jiang Jiaquan stood up and said: "The Great Council has passed the resolution, and the Political Hall has also approved it. We are preparing to ask the king for the final decision. The whole country of the Han Dynasty is mobilizing. This is a battle that will overwhelm the country. If we win, the Han Dynasty will definitely become the largest country in the world." , if we fail, we will enter the most dangerous situation."
"The Kingdom of Han never gives up!" Gao Yuan patted the table and looked at Jiang Jiaquan, "I have approved the nationwide mobilization to fully respond to this war. Ye Chong, what is the current situation of the army?"
Ye Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now our main army of the Han Kingdom, the Eastern Field Army Helan Xiong, is withdrawing to Jishi City. Commander Helan himself is leading the cavalry to conduct guerrilla operations on the prairie, while the main force is entering the Jishi City. Shicheng, strive to ensure the safety of Jishi City. Beiye Xuyuan's troops are currently resting in Tianhe. His 60,000 soldiers and horses have completed pre-war preparations and are waiting for the king's order. The Shangguan Hong Division of the Young Guards Corps is stationed in Jicheng and has also completed war mobilization. , Meng Chong's Southern Group Army and the Qilu Army are in the Qi State, and Ye Zhen's Southern Army is preparing to enter the Wei State. Now if our entire army is mobilized, nearly 300,000 troops can be dispatched, but they are spread out on various battlefields, but It seems that the strength is insufficient. Please ask the King of Han whether to recruit militia reserves nationwide?"
Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, "The militia reserves in Yuyang, Jishi, Hetao and other places will be mobilized first, and other places will be postponed."
"Yes!" Ye Zhong nodded.
"There must be no room for loss in the direction of Jishi City. There is only He Lanxiong's army there, which is too weak. I ordered Agu Huaien's Donghu Independent Cavalry Division to take the lead in marching to Jishi City and follow He Lanxiong's command."
"yes!"
"Xu Yuan's Beiye immediately stationed in Yuyang and launched a full-scale attack on Zhao. Zhao Qi betrayed his trust and opened up Shanggu County to allow the Qin people to attack our Dai County. This is unbearable. He is afraid of the Qin army. Could it be that we, the Han, are afraid of it? Is he easy to bully? Give him a beating first."
Xu Yuan stood up with a ferocious smile on his face, "Xu Yuan understands."
"Ye Zhen's midfielder immediately entered the Wei State. Ye Zhen unified all the armies in the Wei State. In this direction, he did not seek merit, but sought ineffectiveness. He guarded the main beams of the Wei State and blocked the armies of Meng Tian and Lu Chao. It’s victory.”
"Ye Zhen obeys the order."
"Shangguan Hong!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead two infantry corps of the Young Guards Corps and march to Korea. In order to win over Chu, the Qin people ceded Korea to the Chu people. At this time, the two sides are still completing the handover. I ask you to use lightning speed to cover up your ears. , enter the Korean land, seize the Korean land for me, and fight back the outstretched hands of the Chu people. If possible, teach the Chu people a lesson and let them understand that although the big man is a piece of fat, he is not Anyone can open his mouth and take a bite."
"clear."
"Immediately send an order to Meng Chong and Bai Yucheng. It's time to settle the affairs of Qi State. We don't have time to work hard with them. By completely solving the problem of Qi State, we can free up two legions to fight against Qin and Chu." Gao Yuan Cold voice said.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to deal with the Chu people first?" Jiang Jiaquan asked.
"Yes, King Huai of Chu was short-sighted and eager for quick success. He thought he had obtained such huge benefits and reached out to us. However, Chu State was not prepared for a full-scale war. There was not even large-scale mobilization in the country. But we, the big men The difference is that we have been fighting all the time over the years. We only need to give an order to quickly mobilize the army, food, grass, and equipment for a national war. However, their efficiency is low, so we have to take advantage of the early stage of the war to attack them harshly. We will beat them painfully and frighten them. At that time, even if Huang Xie and others still want to fight with us even if they bow down, King Huai of Chu will definitely frighten us and force him to retreat, so that we can concentrate all our efforts on dealing with the Qin people. Gao Yuan took a deep breath: "It seems that King Wulie of Qin has spent a lot of money this time to defeat us beyond redemption. Hehe, let's have a good fight. Is it us who are beyond redemption, or their Qin country is in ruins. Qin people This time, of the two armies, we focus on Li Xin's army. As long as we defeat Li Xin on the vast grassland and defeat the Qin Kingdom's God of War, the Qin Kingdom will be shaken and civil strife may arise. Come, you know, the people of Qin are not living very well!"
Gao Yuan suddenly laughed.
"Your Majesty, are you prepared to lead the expedition in person?" Jiang Jiaquan asked.
"Of course, when everything is ready, I will lead the two cavalry corps of the Young Guards into the prairie and have a good fight with Li Xin. God of War, ha!"
Seeing Gao Yuan's expression slowly relax from the previous solemnity, everyone in the room also relaxed. Everyone here has experienced extremely dangerous battles. Compared with before, every battle seems to be dancing on the tip of a knife. , I don’t know how much better the current form is,
Gao Yuan set the tone, and the next step was for the various armies to contact the political offices, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and other service offices. The raising of grain, grass, ordnance, and the mobilization of major merchants for transportation were all a huge plan. Although it was said to be starting immediately, But it will take at least a month for the army to actually set off. Which army should go first, and which army can be postponed, are all issues that need to be discussed.
After a whole day of discussion, when the lanterns came on, a general outline was finally worked out. The ministers hurriedly left the palace and went to their own yamen. What followed was an extremely busy period, but for the big man For officials, this kind of busyness is just a normal working state. Because the Han Dynasty is strict in selecting officials, there is a shortage of officials in various ministries and yamen. Even the top officials of each department sometimes have to do it themselves. Take on some tasks that were originally done by officials.
There was an official document from the Political Affairs Hall. All the students who had just entered Jicheng Comprehensive University were temporarily assigned to major yamen to take on the most basic jobs. Jicheng suddenly accelerated its pace, and war horses came in and out non-stop every day. , and went to various places with orders one by one.
But that's all. Only the officials and the army were busy. The lives of the people in Jicheng did not seem to be affected in any way. The market was still prosperous, teahouses and restaurants were open as usual, and business was much better than usual.
Gao Yuan rubbed his forehead and slowly walked back to the harem. Dealing with these paperwork was much more laborious than fighting on the battlefield. Fortunately, he had already left most of the political affairs to political affairs. Hall, and a series of matters such as the departure of the army are planned by the newly established Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of War. This large-scale war is just a test of the abilities of the students of the Staff Headquarters. Although they cannot completely let go, it is better than what happened before. Everything must be done by oneself.
As a time traveler with two lifetimes of experience, Gao Yuan would never base a country's prosperity or dream on a wise monarch. That would be a precursor to the country's demise. Throughout the history of dynasties, the founding monarchs were not wise and mighty heroes, but How long can the dynasty they established last? Even the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was the first to rule the world, only lasted for eight hundred years, and the world fell into turmoil again. The Han Dynasty could either maintain good operations under its own rule, or it could Zhiyuan's generation can still maintain a prosperous state, but three generations or more later, will the king who has been in the palace and ignorant of the sufferings of the world still have the same knowledge and experience as the king at the founding of the country? No ,That is impossible.
Only systems can ensure the long-term peace and stability of a country. In your own lifetime, you must establish a powerful country with a basically complete system, so that the entire Han Kingdom will not rise or fall with honor or disgrace just because of one person's thoughts, and kill the weak king from the source of the system. possibility of birth.
"Daddy!" came the clear voice from the front. Gao Yuan looked up and saw little Gao Yuan running towards him staggeringly. What made Gao Yuan funny was that the three-year-old little Zhiyuan was actually wearing a complete set of small armors, and there was also a small suit of armor on his waist. Carrying a knife and a knife, every step he took, the nails and leaves collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.
This suit of armor was obviously tailor-made for Gao Zhiyuan, but it was obviously still too heavy for a three-year-old baby. After running for a few steps, there was a bang and Gao Zhiyuan dropped his head. When he raised his head, wow cried out loudly.
Gao Yuan laughed and stepped forward quickly, stretched out his arms and hugged little Zhiyuan, "A true man, if you bleed, you won't shed tears!"
"But it really hurts!" the little guy sobbed.
"It's because the swallows got used to this little guy and just taught him how to ride a sword. A few days ago, I got a small set of armor from nowhere and gave it to little Zhiyuan, which made the little guy very happy. You know , he has always liked the Kaijia you put in the back room. Yanzi found someone to make one based on the pattern of your armor. This little guy just wore it when he had nothing to do, and it jingled all day long. That’s right.”
"Well, it's a good thing to be martial since you were young." Gao Yuan chuckled.
"Dad, is there going to be a war again? I'm going to fight too. I can ride a horse very well now. The third mother even praised me two days ago!" A clear children's voice sounded, making Gao Yuan laugh.
"No wonder you are dressed so neatly today. Do you want to follow me to fight? But you are too young now. When you can carry daddy's sword, dad will take you to fight, okay?"
When little Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately grimaced. In his father's bedroom, on the weapon rack next to the armor, there was the cold-light Mo Dao. Little Zhiyuan secretly moved it, let alone moved it. Even if I wanted him to move, I couldn't do it. Even if I tried to use all my strength, I couldn't even move an inch.
"Are you going to fight in person?" Ye Jing'er walked over and asked. (To be continued)
