"No, no!"
Yun Zheng still shook his head, "Although I am not talented, I can still see the disadvantages of doing this!"
"More than 100,000 field soldiers are gathered here. Supply alone is a big problem!"
"They could have supplied supplies in a nearby city. If they were all transferred to Shuofang for training, how long would the supply line have to be?"
"Winter has arrived in Shuobei. How much manpower and financial resources will be wasted on such a long supply line?"
Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, supplying more than 100,000 people is a big problem.
He dared to take over this matter, and he was happy to do so.
But the premise is that the supply line must be guaranteed!
If we can't get supplies, everything is nonsense.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and thoughtful, I admire you so much!"
Wei Wenzhong first praised, and then said with a smile: "I have already thought of the prince's concerns! I have my own solution."
"any solution?"
Yun Zheng frowned and asked.
Wei Wenzhong smiled and said: "I have already thought about it. When the field soldiers from each department come to Shuofang, they will escort them with enough supplies to support each department for two months!"
"After that, field soldiers from each department can be sent to each city every two months to escort the headquarters' supplies back."
"After these field soldiers complete the drill, they are basically responsible for escorting grain and grass supplies. This is actually a kind of drill to allow them to become familiar with matters such as escorting grain and grass as soon as possible."
Looking at Wei Wenzhong's smiling face, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart.
It seems that this birdman is determined to give himself all the field soldiers!
Do you want Tian Bing to eat you up?
It’s a beautiful thought!
"I still feel it's inappropriate."
Yun Zheng frowned, "It's inappropriate for a city like Shuofang to store more than 100,000 troops, isn't it?"
He couldn't wait to agree immediately.
However, he couldn't agree yet.
He knew in his heart that the more he refused, the more Wei Wenzhong would throw those Tian soldiers to him!
He wants to make this matter more concrete!
The best thing is to get some benefits from Wei Wenzhong!
It's not that easy to be the sixth prince in front of him, the sixth prince!
"right!"
Shen Luoyan immediately nodded in agreement: "More than 100,000 troops are hoarding around Shuofang City. Let alone training, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even deploy them, right?"
"The prince and princess are worrying too much."
Wei Wenzhong shook his head and said with a smile: "How many capable soldiers are there among these field soldiers? In fact, we all know that after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people who can survive."
Shen Luoyan choked slightly and was momentarily speechless.
Yes!
More than 100,000 field soldiers may sound like a lot, but there are not many that really need training.
If a war breaks out, the old, weak, sick and disabled may be more useful than civilians.
Moreover, the current commanders of the field soldiers of each department must have eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled before training.
That's what they themselves did!
It's really not possible to refuse on this basis.
"Having said that, I am afraid that the abilities of these people under my command are limited and they cannot train so many people!"
Yun Zheng got into trouble with Wei Wenzhong again.
"Your Majesty, there are some capable people in this department!"
Wei Wenzhong said with a smile: "Besides, this is just a drill, not a march to fight. Why do you need such a huge ability?"
Yun Zheng frowned and spoke again: "But many of them don't even have full armor!"
"Don't worry, Prince."
Wei Wenzhong smiled and said: "I have received the news. The imperial court has prepared 30,000 troops to come to Shuobei. They will also escort a large amount of armor and supplies this time! Once the armor arrives, I will give priority to the prince's side. The armor of those field soldiers who have been trained has been replenished!"
Damn it!
This birdman is really well prepared!
Even this reason has been blocked by myself.
Yun Zheng frowned again and looked at Wei Wenzhong with a puzzled expression, "General, do you have any objections to this king?"
"Why did the prince say this?"
Wei Wenzhong asked pretending to be confused.
"We don't talk secretly between people in plain sight."
Yun Zheng looked at Wei Wenzhong quietly, "Don't you want me to improve the food for these field soldiers in this camp, force myself to have so many field soldiers, and want these field soldiers to eat me up?"
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
Wei Wenzhong said with a smile: "The prince is willing to use his own silver coins to improve the food for the soldiers. I admire him very much! If the prince wants to cut expenses, I will definitely have nothing to say! Do you want to give these soldiers some land?" Improving the food is entirely up to the prince’s decision!”
At this moment, Wei Wenzhong was laughing in his heart.
Conspiracy!
Yunzheng knows how to use conspiracy, doesn't he?
It's not like the imperial court didn't provide supplies to these field soldiers.
If he himself is willing to continue to improve the food, then continue!
If he is afraid of being eaten out, then don't improve the food of these field soldiers!
When the time comes, he can just find any excuse to transfer the field soldiers entrusted to him!
The commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army is himself!
He couldn't help Yunzheng playing these little tricks in the army!
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "If I don't take over these field soldiers, what will happen to you?"
"Your Majesty, this is a military order!"
Wei Wenzhong said seriously: "Although the prince has a noble status, I said when I first met the prince that once the prince enters the military camp, he must obey orders!"
"Military order?"
Yun Zheng frowned, "I suspect that you are targeting me!"
"The prince is joking."
Wei Wenzhong shook his head and said: "If the prince did not have this ability, how would I dare to hand over these more than 100,000 field soldiers to the prince for training? Moreover, I have no choice but to do this."
Yun Zheng smiled, "Tell me, why are you so forced to do so?"
Wei Wenzhong raised his eyes slightly and said sternly: "Since Beihuan dares to betray his trust, how can he not know that our dynasty is willing to fight? Beihuan will not wait until all our dynasty's troops gather in Shuobei before engaging in passive defense!"
"As long as the ice on the Baishui River is thick enough to run a horse, Beihuan may launch an attack at any time!"
"Although the combat power of these field soldiers is limited, there are still more than 100,000 people after all!"
"Concentrating these field soldiers in Shuofang for training can also greatly strengthen the defense of our left wing!"
As Yunzheng expected, Wei Wenzhong also knew that Beihuan would not passively defend.
The reason he gave is really sufficient.
It was so full that neither Yun Zheng nor Shen Luoyan could refute.
Seeing that Yunzheng and Shen Luoyan were both silent, Wei Wenzhong added: "If the prince suspects that this commander is targeting you, he can send someone to report it to the Holy One! If the Holy One wants to punish me for his crimes, I will have no complaints!"
"Is it?"
Yunzheng snorted coldly, "So, I still have to take over these field soldiers?"
"I have no choice but to do so. I hope your lord will be considerate!"
Wei Wenzhong looked at Yunzheng apologetically, "In addition, Shuofang has accumulated more than 100,000 field soldiers, and its defense force is already very strong! I will transfer the current defenders in the city to Tianhu City to assist in the defense to strengthen our army on the right wing. Defense, the important task of guarding Shuofang, will be left to the prince for the time being! When the elite troops mobilized by the imperial court arrive, I will send another person to assist the prince in guarding Shuofang!"
