Episode 10 Chapter 515

Chapter 515

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 prosperous, but the people of An were more greedy for comfort and enjoyment than anyone else. This was clearly shown in 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.

There are now as many as eleven legions in the Feng Kingdom. Which legion should be dispatched 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, which 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 and the Tianying Army with the Feilong Army headed by Zuo Shuang.

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. Instead, they went directly south from Ningdi, entered the territory of Yu State, and then moved from Yu State to the border of 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, and the situation is unstable. 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 and trigger a new round of large-scale rebellion. This requires Feng. The army left a large number of troops stationed in Modi to prepare for any eventuality.

Considering that the mountainous and forested border of Huan State 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 plain army, the direct army, and the hundreds of battles army. Among them, the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army both have an establishment of 100,000 people. The current establishment of the Hundred War Army is 300,000. The total strength of the three armies is 500,000. Together with An Guo, 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. Others have not returned to Zhenjiang yet, but the transfer order has 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; The army and the Baizhan Army all went south and headed toward Chizhou.

The scale of the Feng** Regiment's mobilization this time was unprecedented, with millions of troops either changing defenses, setting up defenses, or heading south. With the large-scale transfer and mobilization of the main armies of Feng State, the suspicion of war began to fill the sky over Feng State again. Even ordinary people felt uneasy, and Tang Yin's team returned to Zhenjiang. The first thing he did when he came back was to convene the civil and military ministers of Feng State to conduct urgent consultations on how Feng State would take part in the Anhuan 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. With the current inventory of the Feng Kingdom's treasury, can we support the Feng Kingdom? Fighting a war that could be drawn out.

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 he 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. Now that Feng State has just moved its capital, the Central Army has all moved south to Zhenjiang. The farmland in Yancheng has been abandoned, but the farmland in Zhenjiang has not yet Expansion, that is to say, once the war breaks out and the current grain and grass stocks are used up, it will become a big problem to replenish it. The court will need to collect taxes from various counties, and the army of more than one million will consume a lot of food every day. The amount of food and grass is astronomical. Relying only on food collection is not only time-consuming, but also the food collected is 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, they might see that Fengguo's grain and grass stocks were so rich, and would guarantee to Tang Yin that they could support future wars, but 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, given 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 begins, Being dragged into a protracted war, our army’s food and grass 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 at least a year, then our army's farming in Zhenjiang will begin to show results..."

Before Zhang Xin finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "We can't wait that long, let alone a year, even a month is not worth it. The An-Huan war could 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 in one fell swoop. If An falls into the hands of Chuan and Huan, our country will be in danger. Therefore, our army must fight this battle. As for the food and grass problem, you have to find a way. Even if you are farming now, you have to guarantee me that the soldiers have enough food and grass!"

Tang Yin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but seeing Tang Yin's face gloomy and his eyes flashing coldly, he was scared back with words on his lips.

At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang muttered in a low voice, "What's so difficult about solving the food and grass problem? Let Anjun fight Huanjun first. When all Anjun are dead, let Anguo transfer their food to our country. Then we won't have to worry about food!" Shangguan Yuanrang was a straightforward person. He said what he thought. Zhang Xin raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly, "Oh my General Yuanrang, don't make fun of me now..." However, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, thinking that Yuanrang's words might be a solution. He rolled his eyes and said quietly, "On the surface, we are helping Anguo in this battle. It is only natural for Anguo to share our military rations!"

Zhang Xin said cautiously, "I am afraid that Anguo's central army will come out in full force this time. Anguo's own food and grass are a problem, so how can it reinforce our army?"

Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile, "Zhang Xin, Yuan Rang is far inferior to you in terms of domestic affairs, but you don't have the vision of Yuan Rang in terms of fighting. In fact, Yuan Rang is right. On the battlefield, Anjun will definitely die quickly."

"Ah?" Zhang Xin was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. How can you curse your allies to die quickly before the war starts?

In any case, after this discussion, Tang Yin has completely finalized the matter of participating in the war, and the problem of money and food has been temporarily solved. Then, Tang Yin handed over the specific details of the battle to the Military and Political Hall to formulate, and asked the commanders of various armies to participate together.

This battle is of great importance and directly determines the future strength of Feng and Chuan. With Tang Yin's warlike character, how could he avoid it? This time, he had to lead the troops to fight in person.

In Huaying Palace, Tang Yin saw Wu Mei. Before he could speak, Wu Mei couldn't wait to ask, "My husband is going to go with the army again this time?"

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Mei'er also heard the news."

"Such a big thing, how could I not know." Wu Mei asked seriously, "I heard that Chuan might also join the war. Are we... going to fight Chuan?"

"In fact, there will be a war between Feng and Chuan sooner or later. If it is delayed, I will always be thinking about it. It will be better to finish the battle sooner and feel at ease sooner!" Tang Yin said with a smile on his face.

Don't look at his easy words. In fact, he doesn't have much confidence in the face of Chuan.

He had fought with the Sichuan Army, which was well-trained and experienced in actual combat. Not only were the soldiers strong in combat effectiveness, but their weapons were also advanced. For a long time, the only family that Tang Yin truly regarded as an opponent was the Sichuan Kingdom.

Wu Mei had known Tang Yin for a long time, and she knew his character very well. The more powerful and terrifying the enemy was, the more relaxed he would be. Tang Yin walked up to Wu Mei, gently took her into his arms, and said, "Don't worry about the things on the battlefield. That's a man's problem."

Listening to his words, Wu Mei felt warm 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 fighting, Wu Mei always had to bring up the old things again, but Tang Yin never minded, and this time was no exception. He laughed and teased her, saying, "Madam's ability is something that your husband is ashamed of!"
