Li Wan felt distressed when he saw it: "With Zhenguo's military strength, how can we use so many soldiers and horses? They can't recruit a few people now. If we send more than 10,000 troops, we can win it within a month..."
Do you know the daily military requirements for 30,000 soldiers and horses?
Li Wan did not dare to think about how much logistical pressure Kang Guo was facing at the moment. The military supply of 30,000 people could seriously deplete a country's vitality, not to mention that Kang Guo was at war last year and this year. In her opinion, she could save a little.
Yes, it is not easy to support a family.
Qian Yong gnawed on the dried meat: "What? Still within the month?"
Li Wandao: "An optimistic estimate."
Qian Yong chewed and swallowed in few mouthfuls, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"If we provide tens of thousands of people to go out to conquer the Zheng Kingdom for a few months, I'm afraid that Yushitai will embezzle our free wages. Instead of delaying and giving them time to react, it's better to be ruthless and bring more troops and solve the battle in twos and twos. Tens of thousands
It is much more economical to feed a person for a few days than to feed tens of thousands of people for several months. We need to be able to settle accounts. What we teach in the academy is dead after all. We need to be more flexible when fighting."
Li Wan looks very smart, why can't he even settle this account?
"How many days?"
Qian Yong used martial energy to form a fine needle to pick his teeth, and he said casually: "To be precise, it's three days. I have issued a military order. If it cannot be achieved, military law will be dealt with. The time starts from the time when the troops and horses are mobilized. Three days
It’s very economical to eat ten thousand people for three days.”
Li Wan: "..."
Qian Yong said proudly: "You don't know, my lord originally planned to allocate 60,000 elites to me, but that's 60,000 elites. We can also attack the Northern Desert. But I made a calculation and felt
There is no need to push the 60,000 yuan."
The effect of 30,000 and 60,000 is almost the same, both are equal.
At most 60,000 square meters will be pushed faster.
Why did Qian Yong refuse?
Because 30,000 and 60,000 march at the same speed!
It takes three days to fight for 30,000 yuan, and three days for 60,000 yuan. The consumption cost of the latter is double that of the former. Those misers in the Ministry of Revenue who are obsessed with money will definitely not approve the funds easily. Qian Yong does not want to argue with Xun Zhen.
The push for military pay every year made him exhausted mentally and physically.
It's not that Xun Zhen was so stingy that he didn't even provide enough military pay, but that the Ministry of Accounts checked the accounts carefully, and he checked carefully if a few taels didn't match up. He saw that the money was as urgent as a spark, and he wished he could pay for the few taels from his own pocket so that the military pay could be issued as soon as possible.
But Xun Zhen refused.
The people in Hube are indeed the most hateful!
Li Wan: "...three days?"
If this was possible, most of the battle would have been spent on the road, right? Time was running out, but she couldn't see that the coach Qian Yong was a little anxious, or was he confident?
Qian Yong smiled and said nothing.
Of course he has confidence!
Li Wan soon understood where Qian Yong's confidence came from. The sky was dark, and she keenly noticed that there was a place on the horizon where the light and shadow were different from other places. She immediately climbed up the sentry tower and looked at that place from a high place. Three differences were visible to the naked eye.
The stream of lust is chasing you and me.
One white, one green, one red.
Qian Yong was in high spirits: "It's finally here."
Then the Dan Mansion's martial energy was aroused, and the roar shook the sky.
Three streams of light fell almost simultaneously.
Among them, the white one is the most eye-catching.
Li Wan took a closer look and discovered that there was a path of ice and snow in the path of the stream of light, connecting the sky and the earth, and little ice crystals were flying. As the white light approached, the air temperature dropped significantly, and the biting cold penetrated into the texture tyrannically, arousing goose bumps: "It's so cold.
"
Just when I was trying to use my energy to resist this strange cold, countless green buds came out of the ground, the spring breeze blew on my face, and the warmth was intoxicating.
The one with green light stands between the red and white.
He said with a dark face: "Can you control your martial energy?"
It froze him all the way.
Caught between Yun Ce and his brother, it is like a world of ice and fire. Should he spiral forward to neutralize the temperature between them?
The young warrior, who was radiating chills all over, had a face that was not cold. When he heard his companions complaining, he hurriedly and embarrassedly restrained his breath, and then the coldness in the air dissipated a little. Qian Yong was frightened and a little bit at the same time.
Envious, he stepped forward and clasped his fists in congratulations: "It's been a while, General Yun's cultivation has improved a lot."
This cultivation speed really makes people jealous to death.
Yun Ce smiled a little awkwardly: "Marshal, you are so complimentary."
Gong Xiqiu didn't like talking nonsense with people he didn't know well, so he went straight to the point: "Mama asked me to come over, and you decide who to hit!"
Qian Yong smiled so brightly that his wrinkles were squeezed out.
"Hahaha, don't be in a hurry."
"What are you doing? You came here a few days early and haven't rested enough yet?" Gong Xiqiu avoided Qian Yong's open arms, with disgust written on his face, "Finish the fight early and go home early. It takes too long.
Well, my niece won’t remember me again.”
A few months old baby doesn't remember people at all. Gong Xiqiu finally became familiar with his niece. Mama said that there was going to be a war and asked him to spare a few days to help. He had to come. But his partner was still Yun Ce.
…Didn’t you know that snakes hate low temperatures?
He didn't hate Yun Ce, but he hated Yun Ce's uncontrollable martial spirit. Even if he got even slightly closer, he could feel the valor totem protesting.
Qian Yong didn't have much contact with Gong Xiqiu, but he also knew what kind of unruly temper the other party had, so he comforted him: "We will set off early tomorrow morning. We still have to be auspicious in the war. Tomorrow is a good day, and we have raised flags and sacrifices."
Just two days to slaughter."
Gong Xiqiu waved his hand: "Okay, call me when the time comes."
Qian Yong looked at Gong Xiqiu in confusion as he yawned repeatedly. The latter almost half-closed his eyes. He found an empty camp tent and fell asleep. Is this state really okay? He looked at Jimo Qiu as if asking for help, doubting
Gong Xiqiu deliberately manipulates his own mentality!
Or is it that Gong Xiqiu didn't even sleep the entire time taking care of the children?
??????55.??????
Jimo Qiu revealed the answer: "It's too cold."
Qian Yong: "???"
Jimo Qiu said: "It will make him sleepy if it's too cold."
Snakes have to hibernate!
Qian Yong clicked his tongue: "Isn't General Gongxi a human being?"
I haven't heard that the Martial Arts Totem can change the owner's species. The normal changes in the seasons have little impact on warriors. It is not said that the Martial Arts Totem will hibernate, and its owner will also hibernate. If so, Gong Xiqiu would have gone to a place where the seasons are like spring.
Active.
Jimo Qiu looked helplessly at Yun Ce, who smiled awkwardly and felt guilty.
The reason lies with Yun Ce.
The current sudden drop in temperature is not due to the rotation of the four seasons, but because of Yun Ce's overflowing martial energy. In addition, Gong Xiqiu has been stuck in a bottleneck recently and has merged with the martial arts totem at a critical moment, so the impact is greater. Qian Yong
Ran nodded: "In this case, wouldn't it be dangerous for General Gongxi to go to the battlefield? Do you want to..."
Qian Yong wants to change someone!
He issued a military order!
If Gong Xiqiu was forced to hibernate and his combat status declined, and the military order could not be completed, wouldn't he die unjustly?
Jimo Qiu said: "That's not necessary."
As long as he sees blood, Gong Xiqiu will become excited.
Qian Yong: "..."
The Commander-in-Chief Prince-in-law was awakened by the sound of noisy footsteps.
Suddenly a ray of light came from the dark tent, and the would-be prince consort subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes. Several soldiers entered and dragged him away without saying a word. He was panicked: "What are you doing?"
He had an ominous premonition.
This premonition reached its peak when I saw the altar.
Although Zhenguo has been without war for many years, he has seen what the expedition altar looks like and knows its purpose.
What frightened him even more was that he didn't see the sacrifice.
In panic, he asked Li Wan for help.
Before he could open his mouth, he felt something was stuck in his throat. He couldn't utter a single syllable when he opened his mouth. He covered his throat in fear, his eyes were about to burst, and he silently cursed Li Wan, the poisonous woman! Then he was kicked hard on the knee! Both hands
He knelt on his knees and made a muffled sound.
The piercing pain goes straight to the heart.
Yes, he is the sacrifice!
When he lost consciousness and his head fell to the ground, he saw Li Wan not far away with a silent expression. His lips moved and he didn't know what he said, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness. Qian Yong said a few inspiring words, got on his horse, and suppressed
So excited!
"Army, let's go!"
What is enough to do in three days?
When the bad news came, the leader of Zhenguo was lingering in the countryside of Wenrou. He had few offspring, so in order to relieve the pressure, he worked harder and harder, hoping to have a successor who would lead Zhenguo to become stronger. But God refused to show mercy.
He had worked hard for many years but failed to get the reward he had dreamed of. The panicked voice of the chamberlain interrupted his interest, causing his enthusiasm to stop abruptly and his glory to decline.
He was furious: "What happened?"
The chamberlain reported truthfully.
Kang's soldiers and horses attacked the border, and the border guard sent a letter asking for help.
The Lord of Zhen Kingdom suddenly threw back the bed curtain and his eyes widened in anger.
There was a tremor in his voice: "Presumptuous——"
Immediately summon the ministers to discuss matters regarding facing the enemy.
The ministers were roughly divided into three factions.
One group faced the battle and immediately mobilized troops and horses to support the border. Li Wan's mission to Zhen State caused a lot of chaos, and then he eloped with the quasi-consort Captain and disappeared. They knew that Kang State was going to take action. They started recruiting troops and horses early.
, preparing military supplies to cope with the current situation. This group accounts for 40% of the officials in the DPRK.
One group felt that they should immediately ask for help from neighboring countries that they had good relations with and borrow troops.
The Kang State is approaching fiercely, and they should be prepared for the worst. Instead of deploying troops to meet the enemy now and destroying all the elites, it is better to retreat temporarily, save their troops to fight with the friendly troops, and then fight back in one go. This is
The safest!
The remaining group is more passive and wants peace talks.
They say they are trying to appease them through peace talks, but in fact anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are a group that surrenders, and peace talks are just a more euphemistic way of saying it.
The leader of Zhen Kingdom found out that there were many people in this group: "Peace talks? Can you find other branches, but can you survive?"
Peace talks are impossible.
If peace talks can be achieved, the mission sent before to please Kang Guo should be effective. They did not say anything about Zheng Guo, but also sent Li Wan to stir up trouble, obviously trying to find a justifiable reason for starting war.
Seeing that his ministers and servants had their own thoughts, the king felt sad and angry.
He immediately decided to send troops for support.
Zhenguo is about to face the biggest crisis since the founding of the country!
"Also, immediately send a message to friendly countries to borrow troops!"
The ambition of the wolf surnamed Shen may not be satisfied with this. Before the soldiers and horses from neighboring countries arrive, he must try his best to defend the territory of Zhenguo. If he cannot hold it, there will no longer be Zhenguo in the world. Who knows that the order given has just left the palace gate, and another
The bad news soon reached my ears.
Three border towns were lost!
The leader of Zhen Kingdom stood up suddenly: "What?"
How long did it take before and after the two news?
Two hours at most!
Three towns were lost in two hours?
"Where are the border barriers?"
