Hearing what Yue Ze said, the generals and guards on the left and right almost laughed out loud. The country of An was prosperous and rich, but the people of An were more greedy for comfort and enjoyment than anyone else. This was clearly demonstrated by Yue Ze.
Tang Yin was also happy and said to Yue Ze, "Brother King Yue, don't worry. It may take as long as a month or as little as half a month. The army of Feng Kingdom will arrive in Chizhou."
"With the words of a wise brother, Brother Yu can rest assured." Yue Ze let out a long sigh, and it was not until Tang Yin was sent ten miles away from Meicheng that it came to an end.
On the way back to Zhenjiang, Tang Yin was not idle, but took the time to discuss the plan to send troops with Xiao Muqing and Nie Ze.
Now there are as many as eleven legions in the Feng Kingdom. Which legion should be sent to join the war and which legion should be left behind in the country is also a big question.
The Chifeng Army headed by Peng Haochu must stay in Fengdi and cannot be mobilized. The Sanshui Army headed by Liang Qi and the Tianying Army headed by Ziying are currently stationed in Ningdi. These two armies are the main force of the Feng Army.
Legion, and the current situation in Ningdi is relatively stable, it would be too wasteful to put these two main legions in Ningdi. After consultation with Xiao Muqing, Tang Yin decided to replace the Sanshui Army with the Feilong Army led by Zuo Shuang
and the Skyhawks.
The predecessor of the Feilong Army is the Western Border Army, which is mainly composed of Ning people. To govern Ningdi, we should also rely on the Ning people themselves. It is most appropriate and safest for the Feilong Army to garrison Ningdi.
As for the Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army, they did not return to the country, but went directly south from Ning, entered the Yu Kingdom, and then moved from the Yu Kingdom to the border between Yu and Huan. They could be used as a surprise force in the battle against Huan.
The most troublesome thing is Mo Di's garrison. Mo Di has just been merged into Feng Kingdom, the situation is unstable, and rebellions are happening one after another in various places. Now that the war has broken out in Chizhou, it will easily spread to Mo Di, triggering a new round of war.
A large-scale rebellion requires the Feng Army to keep a large number of troops stationed in Mo Di to prepare for any eventuality.
Considering that the border of Huan State was mountainous and forested, which was not suitable for cavalry operations, Xiao Muqing proposed to Tang Yin that the Ninth Army should be left in Zhenjiang to guard the capital, while the Huben Army and Huwei Army should be left in Mo Di to suppress any rebellion that might appear at any time.
The legions participating in the war can choose from the Plains Army, the Directly Affiliated Army and the Hundred Battles Army. Among them, the Plains Army and the Directly Affiliated Army both have a strength of 100,000. The current strength of the Hundreds of War Army is 300,000. The total strength of the three armies is 500,000. Compared with Anguo
Working together, it should be more than enough to deal with Huan Guo. Book mi group 2
After careful consideration, Tang Yin felt that Xiao Muqing's words were reasonable. He had not returned to Zhenjiang yet, but the transfer order had been conveyed first.
He dispatched the Feilong Army to move westward to change defenses and garrison Mo Di; he dispatched the Sanshui Army and the Sky Eagle Army to go south and enter the Yu Kingdom; he dispatched the Huwei Army and Huben Army to change defenses in counties where rebels often appeared in Mo Di; he dispatched the Pingyuan Army to directly subordinate
The army and the Baizhan Army all went south and headed towards Chizhou.
The scale of the Feng** regiment's mobilization this time is unprecedented. Millions of troops are either changing defenses, setting up defenses, or heading south. With the large-scale transfer and mobilization of the main armies of the Feng Kingdom, the suspicion of war has returned.
Beginning to permeate the sky over Feng State, even ordinary people can feel the unhappiness. Tang Yin's team returned to Zhenjiang. The first thing he did when he came back was to summon the civil and military ministers of Feng State to discuss how Feng State could kill An Huan.
Hold urgent consultations on the war.
War is nothing more than two points, one is people, and the other is money and food. Now the Feng Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, and the total strength of the Central Army has reached 1.5 million. We need soldiers and generals. The key is the issue of money and food.
, based on the current inventory of Feng State's treasury, does it have the ability to support Feng State to fight a war that may be protracted?
Regarding the issue of money and food, people's focus will naturally be placed on Zhang Zhe, the imperial censor in charge of the treasury, and Zhang Xin, the official in charge of food.
Zhang Zhe answered simply. At present, the national treasury is abundant, and it can fully support the Feng army to fight a large-scale war. At this time, his tone is completely opposite to his previous unyielding style. It is ridiculous, but now
It's an extraordinary period, and no one cares about him so much anymore.
Zhang Xin's answer was not as straightforward as Zhang Zhe's. There is a lot of inventory in Fengguo's grain depot now, but it does not last. The reason why there is so much grain in stock is that it has been accumulated over the years by the Central Army's farmland in Yancheng.
Yes, the Feng Kingdom has just moved its capital, and all the Central Army has moved south to Zhenjiang. The farmland in Yancheng has been abandoned, and the farmland in Zhenjiang has not yet been launched. In other words, once the war breaks out and the current grain and grass stocks are used up, and they want to replenish it, then
It became a big problem, requiring the court to levy it from various counties. And an army of more than one million people consumes astronomical amounts of food and grass every day. Relying only on food levy is not only a time-consuming problem, but also a levy.
The food supply is also a drop in the bucket.
Zhang Xin is a cunning person who is narrow-minded and likes to gather party members, but he is also a person with real talents and learning, otherwise Tang Yin would not be able to put him in such an important position in governing the internal history of Su.
If it were anyone else, seeing how abundant Fengguo's grain and grass stocks were, they would have assured Tang Yin that they could support future wars. However, Zhang Xin was keenly aware that there were hidden dangers, and they were still very big.
He explained his concerns to Tang Yin in detail, and finally said bluntly, "Your Majesty, with the current situation in our country, it is really not suitable to fight a big war, and this war is likely to involve the Sichuan Kingdom. Once the war
Being dragged into a protracted war, our army's food and grass supplies are in danger."
When Tang Yin heard this, he frowned and asked, "In your opinion, when is the right time for our country to start a war?"
"We have to wait for at least a year, then our army's field operations in Zhenjiang will begin to bear fruit..."
Before Zhang Xin finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "We can't wait that long. We can't afford to wait even a month, let alone a year. The Anhuan War may break out at any time. If our army does not participate in the war,
The An army will probably be defeated by the Huan army. If the An army falls into the hands of the Chuan and Huan states, our country will be in danger. Therefore, our army must fight this battle. As for the food and grass issue, it is up to you to find a solution.
, even if you are plowing and planting now, you must ensure that the entire army has sufficient food and grass!"
Tang Yin was so anxious that he was sweating, but when he saw Tang Yin's face was gloomy and his eyes were flashing with cold light, he was frightened back when he spoke.
At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang muttered in a low voice, "What's so hard to solve about the food and grass problem? Let An's army go and fight Huan's army first. After An's army is all dead, let An'uo transfer their food to our country."
, you won’t have to worry about running out of food!”
Shangguan Yuanrang is a straight man, he will say whatever he thinks in his mind. Zhang Xin raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, my General Yuanrang, don't make fun of me now."
Already..."
However, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, and he felt that Yuan Rang's words might be a solution. He rolled his eyes and said faintly, "In this battle, we are helping An Guo to fight, and let An Guo share our country's military rations."
, it’s also a matter of course!”
Zhang Xin said cautiously, "I'm afraid Anguo's central army will be out in force this time. Anguo's own food and grass are in question, so how can we reinforce our army?"
Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile, "Zhang Xin, when it comes to internal affairs, Yuan Rang is far inferior to you, but when it comes to war, you are not as visionary as Yuan Rang. In fact, Yuan Rang is right. When we go to the battlefield, we can secure the army."
He will die soon."
"Ah?" Zhang Xin was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. How could he curse his allies to die so quickly before the war started?
In any case, after this discussion, Tang Yin finally finalized his participation in the war, and the problem of money and food was temporarily resolved. After that, Tang Yin handed over the specific combat details to the Military Government Hall to formulate, and asked each army to
The commander-in-chief went to participate together.
This battle is of great importance, and it directly determines the future strength of the two countries, Sichuan. How could Tang Yin, with such a bellicose character, hide away? This time, he had to personally lead the troops to fight.
In Huaying Palace, Tang Yin saw Wu Mei. Before he could speak, Wu Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Will your husband go on an expedition with the army again this time?"
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Mei'er has also heard the news."
"How could I not know about such a big matter?" Wu Mei asked seriously, "I heard that the Sichuan Kingdom may also participate in the war. Are we... going to fight with the Sichuan Kingdom?"
"Actually, there will be a battle sooner or later between Fengchuan and Fengchuan. If it continues to be delayed, I will always worry about it. If the fight is over sooner, I will feel at ease sooner!" Tang Yin said nonchalantly with a smile on his face.
Although he said it was easy, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart when he faced Sichuan.
He had fought with the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army was well-trained and experienced in actual combat. Not only were the soldiers powerful in combat, but their weapons were also advanced. For a long time, the only one that Tang Yin had truly regarded as his opponent was the Sichuan Army.
It was not the first day that Wu Mei met Tang Yin. She knew his character very well. The more powerful and terrifying the enemy, the more relaxed he would be. Tang Yin walked up to Wu Mei and gently took her into his arms.
He said, "Don't worry about things on the battlefield. That's a man's problem."
Listening to his words, Wu Mei was heartbroken and a little unconvinced. She rolled her eyes and said, "I was also a general in the army back then, and you were still my subordinate..."
Every time she talked about the war, Wu Mei always wanted to mention the old things again, but Tang Yin never minded, and it was the same this time. He burst out laughing, teasing her and saying, "My husband is ashamed of your wife's abilities."
