Shaanxian County (Sanmenx City, Shaanzhou Q) is only twenty miles away from Hangu Pass.

A baggage team arrived here with tens of thousands of vehicles and 200,000 shi of grain under escort.

This is the fifth time this team has returned here.

And this will also be the last time.

Spring is about to begin, and the troops also need to prepare for spring planting. This is a plan that King made early in the morning.

Unlike the armies of other princes, Wang Buxu never ordered the disbandment of his troops, which was simply unbelievable during this period.

Take Chu State as an example. In order to avoid the consumption of food and grass during peacetime, troops are usually disbanded and sent home when there is no war, and they will be recruited when needed.

Nobles do not keep so many idle people all the time.

In order not to call for labor and because of his future plans, Wang Buxu did not disband.

Before spring planting begins, let the troops transport grain and grass to the front line.

Similarly, in order to improve efficiency and save the consumption of food and grass.

Wang Cheng racked his brains and finally had to adopt a gradual transportation method.

That is to say, point-to-point, each point prepares the rations needed by the army in advance, and then directly loads the trucks for supplies upon arrival, without consuming the grain and grass transported by the grain team on the way.

It takes one day for the grain team to travel from Luoyang to Yicheng, three days from Yicheng to Xin'an (now east of Mianchi), less than one day from Xin'an to Mianchi, and finally from Mianchi to Shaanxi County, which takes one day.

Half a day.

By arranging the number of vehicles and personnel according to the distance of the road, it is basically possible to ensure that there will be no backlog in any warehouse for more than one day.

In this way, with the transportation of grain teams by various front-line troops, the granaries in Shaanxi County were filled to the brim throughout the winter. Even in the military camps outside the city, there were stacks of grain everywhere.

"General Wang, are the grain and grass transportation almost done?" Guan Ying looked at Wang Cheng with dissatisfaction, but he could not stumble Wang Cheng.

The king personally issued the order, so even if it delayed the training of the troops, he had to fully support Wang Cheng's work.

"Well, that's enough!" Wang Cheng nodded.

Of course he could hear Guan Ying's complaints, but so what?

The king does not impose corvee labor. If he wants to transport enough food to various places, he can only rely on the army to transport it.

Although the generals didn't give him a good look, fortunately no one was overtly or covertly causing trouble. Now that the first step of the transportation task has been completed, Wang Cheng gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shaanxi County now has 700,000 stones of grain and grass and 80,000 soldiers. The next step is to prepare for farming. After the autumn harvest, let the troops behind bring food. This will basically be enough for this expedition. If the war goes well,

Maybe you can still use it all!" Wang Cheng said.

"Okay, I'll organize the troops to train for a few days. I haven't practiced much this winter. By then, not all of them will know how to fight!" Guan Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a lot of pressure on me...

The number of troops assigned to him by the royal court was 200,000, and 80,000 were stationed in Shaanxian County as the first support camp for the first front line.

Then there is the camp opposite Hangu Pass, about fifteen miles away from here, with 30,000 troops led by Zhang Han.

Mianchi has 50,000 troops and Xin'an has 40,000 troops. These are the troops he needs to lead next.

Once he decides to go to war, he can assemble 110,000 troops in one day, 160,000 troops in three days, and 200,000 troops in five days.

This is the kind that can be directly taken out to fight. After all, 80,000 people are farming in Shaanxi County, and the food obtained from farming is enough for them to consume in the first wave.

Wang Buxu also attached great importance to this matter, which can be seen from the composition of his troops.

Among the 200,000 people, 100,000 were veterans who had joined the Han army for more than one year.

Fifty thousand are the soldiers who have joined for half a year, and the remaining fifty thousand are the surrendered troops gathered after the defeat of Zhang Han and the soldiers recruited from the local area.

Almost the entire elite Han army has been sent here. If they don't train for a year, won't the elite Han army be ruined by themselves?

However……

"No!" Wang Cheng didn't want to speak, but he had to speak.

He is not only General Xingyang, he is also General Baggage, and General Tuntian, who just added an epitaph to himself two months ago. Now we have four titles, and there is also a big Han Shaoshangzao.

In other words, before the autumn harvest, all the troops stationed in the field were assigned to Wang Cheng. If the army commander wanted to train, he must obtain Wang Cheng's consent, otherwise he would be punished.

And if Wang Cheng unrealistically agreed to the training requirements of the army commander and affected the farm output, then Wang Cheng would eventually be punished.

"General Guan, I know you are worried about the combat effectiveness of the army, but you still have time. This has delayed spring planting. Where can I find time, brother? This is absolutely not possible now. The army will soon arrange for farming. This

There are still a lot of things to do. After planting the seeds, you have at least a month to train. In addition, I guarantee that you will be able to train 10,000 people every day..."

After some quarreling between the two, Wang Cheng finally had to agree to Guan Ying. Every ten days, the soldiers in the field could have two days of free time, one day for training and one day for rest.

…

In front of the queue, 24-year-old Han Xin looked at his soldiers.

For him, there are expectations, goals, and hopes.

Being humiliated by the butcher in his early years, Han Xin defected to the Chu army, but was never reused. Although Lord Wu Xin treated the soldiers fairly well, Han Xin found it difficult to get ahead.

At that time, he was just a small general.

Later, the King of Han issued a summons order. Han Xin was moved by the summons order, so he left the Chu camp alone and came to seek refuge.

Compared with the other Han Xin, Han Xin felt that he seemed a bit stupid.

If I had known if I had brought a group of people to fight all the way, I wouldn't be just a five hundred leader now.

But fortunately, the Han army talked about merit rather than capital. Although the five hundred masters were not high officials, several of today's generals all started from the five hundred masters.

Han Xin was also very confident that he could make military exploits in the next battle to destroy Qin.

No, because of his meritorious service under his leadership, his battalion won first place in two consecutive internal competitions. The military prince submitted a request to promote Han Xin to the rank of thousand men.

Three days ago, he was approved by General Guan Ying and officially promoted to the rank of Thousand Personnel.

Twenty-four-year-old Qianren is already considered one of the successful people in this era.

But Han Xin was far from satisfied with this.

Today, General Wang Cheng convened a meeting with thousands of people from various ministries to allocate tasks and read out new incentives.

After returning from the meeting, Han Xin felt that he was full of energy.

"Brothers, General Wang has assigned us a task today. We and another team of 1,000 people are going to go 20 miles southeast to farm. There are a total of 50,000 acres of official land there. We can farm as much as we can!"

"In addition, the king also issued a new incentive measure. Those who produce two stones per mu in farming will be recorded as third-class individual merit. Those with a thousand-man team who have the first output and average yield per mu will be recorded as first-class collective merit.

All members were promoted to the first level. Finally, General Guan also said that the thousand-man team that won the first place can be appointed as general..."
