One thousand two hundred and sixty-one Juyongguan [4000
Hahahaha~ I won again~ So cool!
Weixin Gongzhong: I want to leave Jingke, please pay attention to me
………………………………
At this time, Ji An and his men came to the palace carrying a huge map, and then unfolded it.
Liu Che immediately said to Zhou Yafu and others: "My lords, let's discuss first where the Xiongnu may invade?"
Now, the Huns have not even attacked Yanmen County.
Instead, it continues to move eastward. In fact, there are not many places left for its main force to attack.
It is nothing more than the area from Shangjun or Shanggu to Youbeiping.
As for Shangjun, the Huns will definitely not fight!
Are you kidding me? One hundred thousand cavalry, break into Shangjun... and then eat the dirt?
Shangjun is not enough for the Huns to spend so much effort and cost to fight!
Therefore, the only possibility is the Youbeiping area of Shanggu County.
As for Anton, it’s completely impossible!
The reason is very simple. The Huns traveled thousands of miles from the grasslands outside Yanmen Pass to Anton?
Either the military officials are crazy, or the Huns themselves have something wrong with their minds!
The area from Shanggu County to Youbeiping looks like a long, narrow and curved line of defense from the map.
But in fact, it is at least several hundred kilometers from Youbeiping to Shanggu County!
Because Youbeiping was probably in Tianjin and Hebei in later generations, and Yang was probably in Zhangjiakou in later generations. Even if there is an error, it should not be much different!
Even if you drive, it will take several hours to get from Tianjin to Zhangjiakou!
This is also due to the development of highway networks in later generations.
As for now, even Qingqi cannot complete the inspection of the Zaoxiang defense line within two or three days.
"How many beacon towers and forts are there from Zaoyang to Youbeiping?" Liu Che looked at the map and asked Ji An.
"Your Majesty, according to the data from the Prime Minister's Office, from Shanggu County to Youbeiping, there are more than 100 beacon towers and about 30 forts..." Ji An replied.
The beacon towers and forts are the eyes on the Great Wall!
On the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty, there was usually only one regiment, and at most one regiment of troops.
They guard all parts of the Great Wall, serving as eagle eyes watching the distance.
Once traces of the enemy are discovered, beacon towers will be lit immediately to notify the defenders and cities behind them.
The most important thing is to inform the people in the countryside to quickly hide in the city or enter the mountains and forests for safety!
This is important!
Every time the Huns invaded, they would kill and plunder wantonly and commit all kinds of evil!
With these eyes, early warning will be provided to the people in time, so that they can quickly escape into the city and be protected by the army!
Or go into the mountains and forests to avoid the Huns' troops!
The defenders of these beacon towers can retreat after completing their missions.
Liu Che nodded and then asked: "How many captain's offices are there between Shanggu and Youbeiping?"
The Duwei Station was the gathering place for Han army and county soldiers.
In history books, people can often see titles such as the Eastern Captain and the Western Captain of a certain county.
Generally speaking, there is at least one captain's post in a county.
The counties along the Great Wall will have multiple military offices.
Generally speaking, these captain's offices are close to the Great Wall, guarding dangerous passes. Within the headquarters, soldiers and armor are fully prepared, and food and water are sufficient.
According to the frontier defense system designed by Chao Cuo, these captain's offices should have at least a month's supply of food and drinking water, as well as arrows, rolling stones, and wood.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, from Youbeiping to Shanggu County, there are eight military governorships... They are the western captaincy, eastern captaincy, and central captaincy of Shanggu County..." Ji An looked at the data and reported: "
Judging from the situation in last year's plan, the western captain of Shanggu County has insufficient troops. The southern and northern captains of Yuyang County are ineffective in managing their troops and their armor and soldiers are uneven. The situation of the three captains of Youbeiping is better, but the strength of the soldiers
The amount of training is a problem..."
Liu Che frowned slightly after hearing this.
The military system of the Han Dynasty is a tribal military service system in which two teams are made into commanders, five commanders are called teams, two teams are made into commanders, five commanders are called captains, and two commanders are called captains.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the troops under the command of a captain should be the full combat strength of one thousand.
Historically, Emperor Wu's Qimen Army and Yulin Guards were organized according to this system.
But this is just a source of combat troops!
In fact, when the army goes out to fight, it will swell.
A captain went out to fight, and halfway through, he gathered more than 5,000 troops, which was unusual.
As for the captain's office in the frontier fortress, under normal circumstances, the captain should have at least 1,500 combat troops (various other commanders are used at this time)
But now, Ji An said that there are even insufficient troops in the government?
This immediately made Liu Che full of questions!
How could there be insufficient troops?
Why are there insufficient troops?
A captain cannot even maintain the combat strength of a thousand men under normal circumstances. What is this captain doing? Is he eating Xiang's food?
"The Sheriff of Shanggu County, I remember it was boiled jujube and Jiwu. What does Jiwu eat?" Liu Che immediately got angry: "There is also Zhang Ciwen, the governor of Yuyang County. I remember he was recommended by the Prime Minister, right? Why is this happening?
The trouble? What is the quarter team in Beiping doing?"
No wonder he got angry!
The people of Yin have already said: The most important affairs of the country are military service and sacrifice!
If the military is not in order and the armaments are lax, the country will surely perish!
Since Liu Che came to the throne, he has been reluctant to eat or wear clothes. He doesn't even have a few concubines, and the palace has not been repaired. All the money has been used to support the army.
As a result, the local scum were indifferent and could not even maintain a normal army establishment.
How could this keep him from being angry?
Especially now, the enemy is at hand, and the Huns may invade at any time.
But every captain's office has problems of one kind or another!
If he didn't have to worry about the emperor's face, Liu Che would have wanted to throw something!
You must know that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the local army, especially the frontier captain system, is actually the second division, hidden army system that Lao Maozi once played.
Don't look at normal times, a captain only has more than a thousand troops.
However, this is the core backbone, and each one of them is an elite who has been trained for a long time.
Once something happens, the order is issued and the militia is recruited, and the situation can snowball immediately.
Easily expand your army several times!
This is also a system that only the Qin and Han Dynasties can play!
This is because the Qin and Han Dynasties implemented a system of all soldiers on the border. All adult men had received formal military training, and most of them had even served in the Duwei Administration.
Therefore, as soon as a battle begins, you can expand quickly, and you can go into battle to kill the enemy in a short period of time!
The Huns often suffered from this system. According to the investigation before the war, the county in the Han Dynasty only had three to five thousand troops, but what is going on now? Where did the twenty thousand troops in front of me come from?
Damn it, Mumal Gobi!
The Han Dynasty people were cheating!
Under such a system, in other words, the fewer troops there are in the captain's office, the smaller the snowball will be!
If a captain's station has one hundred fewer people, its expanded military strength may eventually be reduced by one thousand or even two thousand!
"I know you are guilty!" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Yizong, who were in Zhidu, saw Liu Che getting angry and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
Especially Zhou Yafu, because the governor of Yuyang County belongs to him, and he is still the leader!
Although the continuous sitting system has been abolished, the traditional thinking still remains in the continuous sitting era.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty often saw that when a giant fell, all the officials, big and small, died.
"Your Majesty, please suspend your thunderous wrath. Rong Chen will wait for the report..." Zhou Yafu kowtowed and said, "Since your Majesty's imperial edict to open Andong in the second year of Yuande, the military strength and non-commissioned officers of Yuyang, Youbeiping, and even Shangjun have been reduced. All were transferred to Anton, and some of the captain's offices, even the captains and soldiers, were all transferred away..."
Liu Che was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
This is indeed true!
Moreover, Zhou Yafu said it tactfully.
Where is the adjustment? It is clearly digging!
Especially after Chen Jiao and Chen Xu left, these two guys directly poached people from the frontier in order to quickly raise their profile.
Uncle Guo doesn't need reasons or excuses to poach people.
What's more, they still lured them with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
but……
This is not an excuse for Shanggu County, Yuyang County and Youbeiping to become what they are now.
Three-legged toads may be hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged officers in Wuyuan!
But there was a reason after all, which made Liu Che calm down a little. He asked coldly: "Why didn't you add it in time..."
Zhou Yafu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words, bowed his head and said: "This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me..."
In fact, he could explain that this was because of the subsequent battle between Mayi and Gaoque.
Yuyang is more than just a Shanggu.
Now, the whole world is like this!
It's just that the situation in Yuyang and other places is serious.
Because now everyone wants to join the field army...
The students in Wuyuan were very happy when they heard that they were assigned to the field corps. When they heard that they were assigned to the county soldiers, they were dejected. Some even pretended to be sick and refused to go.
Zhou Yafu couldn't do anything against them.
Could it be that he could hold a knife to someone's neck?
This makes it very difficult to replace elites from Youbei and other places when they are poached.
So, I could only top it with some crooked melons and cracked dates!
After the experienced elites were transferred away and even the backbone was hollowed out, the quality and ability of the new officers were only average. This result is naturally conceivable.
Zhang Ciwen, the governor of Yuyang County, wrote to him many times to complain about these things.
But as a minister, Zhou Yafu knew that he could not contradict the emperor!
Especially now, when the Xiongnu troops are pressing on the border and the frontier is likely to be in danger, the unity of the monarch and his ministers is particularly important.
Besides, he is about to retire, so there is nothing to argue about.
Now that you have become Liu's prime minister, you must be prepared to take the blame!
Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and knew that getting angry now would not help. The key was to see how to make amends.
Since every governor's office has problems of one kind or another.
Then we can no longer expect them to complete the tasks required of them under the system!
After thinking for a while, Liu Che said to Ji An: "The minister issued a decree for me, and sent an order to all counties in Yan and Zhao, and ordered each county to announce to the heroes under their rule: Anyone who is willing to go into battle to kill the enemy will be exempted from guilt! Then organize the prisoners ,Standby!"
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, prisoners and rangers can actually be counted as reserve troops.
Especially the prisoners!
I think back then, Zhang Han sent out prisoners from Lishan and almost wiped out the peasant uprising army!
This shows how powerful the prisoners are!
This is because the prisoners in the Qin and Han Dynasties, written as criminals and pronounced as reform-through-labor prisoners, were all managed in a militarized manner. Basically, as long as they were given weapons, they could form an army!
During Emperor Wu's period, when he was conquering Dian Kingdom and South Vietnam, he sent out prisoners many times, but the results were always unfavorable!
However, Liu Che didn't like it.
Because the army is professional, and if there are too many amateur soldiers like prisoners, it will bring bad morale.
But now there is no other way. In order to protect Yanzhao, we can only close the door and release the prisoners!
As for Yanzhao prisoners, there are at least tens of thousands!
This is determined by the laws of Qin and Han Dynasties...
Although the Han method is milder than the Qin method, the difference is actually indescribable between extreme and mild.
The former always arrests people.
As for the latter, they should think about it before arresting them.
In fact, there is not much difference in essence.
Therefore, there are many prisoners, and the total number of prisoners in the country often reaches hundreds of thousands!
This is a number that only comes from the Liu family's frequent amnesties, otherwise a million would be possible.
Liu Che always wanted to change the law to make the law gentler, but he was afraid that it would lead to the power of the landlords and gentry, so he tried to avoid it.
Now, taking this opportunity to liberate more prisoners and free more people can be considered a good deed!
"No!" Ji An naturally likes to do this.
Liu Che turned around and asked Zhou Yafu and others: "Prime Minister, General Chariot and General Wei, where do your three beloved ministers think the Huns will invade?"
After looking at the map, Zhou Yafu said: "I think that if the Huns invaded, it would be in these three places!"
He pointed at the map and said: "Either we can go to Yangyang and break through the defense line of Yangyang, then the Huns cavalry can go straight to Juyang. If Juyang goes down again, they can go south to threaten Yanji, or they can go north to attack Yuyang, or they can go east to Zouma City.
Enter Pingcheng and break through Shenhe..."
"But I think that the possibility of the Huns coming here is only 30%..." Zhou Yafu pondered for a moment and then said: "Because the Shipi County behind Zaoyangdi has a dangerous terrain, one man can guard the pass and ten thousand people cannot open it! It is difficult for the Huns cavalry to pass quickly.
... Therefore, I feel that the Xiongnu are more likely to break through Yuyang, go down the Luanhe River, use Baitan, take down the slippery salt plugs, attack Wuzhong County from a high position, and thus cut off Yanzhao and Anton.
This connection can also threaten Jicheng!"
"As for its partial division, it may go to Beiping on the right, attack Pinggang, and contain the reinforcements coming from western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning!"
Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and nodded.
Because the route of the Xiongnu advance mentioned by Zhou Yafu is very reasonable.
In later generations, the Mongols and Jiannu of the Ming Dynasty often took these two routes to harass and invade.
but……
Liu Che disagreed with some aspects.
He tapped heavily on a fortress above Juyang with his hand and said: "I think our army should station a large number of troops here!"
Zhou Yafu and others looked over intently and discovered that the name Juyong Pass was marked somewhere on the map.
Yi Zong looked at it, nodded immediately, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I used to attack the guards and rebel against them. From now on, I will cross this pass. It is indeed a powerful pass. If one man stands in front of it, ten thousand people will not be able to open it!"
Zhi Du also said: "The "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" said that one of the nine fortresses in the world is the most mediocre, so this is probably what he is referring to..."
"Yes!" Liu Che nodded proudly. This was one of the few times when he could play a role in the military.
After all, many strategic locations and fortresses have not yet appeared.
He can point out the country at will without worrying about making mistakes. (To be continued.)
