Zhao Shan praised without hesitation and said: "I think Fang Qing's strategy is very good and can be called a groundbreaking strategy. If we can mobilize 30,000 troops from the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty, we will have very few troops to mobilize. , it is enough to mobilize the Xuanjia Army, the Modao Battalion, and more than 10,000 infantrymen."
Zhuge Shang is also a man of outstanding insight.
After thinking for a while, you can understand the power of Fang Weihu's strategy, which can reduce your own casualties and weaken the enemy at the same time.
However, after Zhuge Shang thought carefully, he said: "I agree with Master Fang's strategy, but I have a few questions."
Fang Weihu said: "What's the question?"
Zhuge Shang asked: "Master Fang said that he would arrange for the troops of the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty to enter Luoyang. So, will they raise the food and grass they need to go south by themselves? Or will we supply it?"
"After they arrived in Dagan, they helped us attack Zhao Gou. Should the money they grabbed be distributed uniformly, or would it belong to them after they grabbed it? Even more, how should military discipline be restrained?"
Zhao Shan also looked at Fang Weihu and said with a smile: "Fang Qing, what do you think?"
Fang Weihu explained: "Your Majesty, when the armies of the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty go south, they need to have the Jin Kingdom provide a certain amount of food and grass to support them until the war begins. In other words, they must have at least a few months' worth of food and grass."
"This is a food and grass supply situation."
"The troops of the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty are going south. There is a big general plan. We must mobilize the troops of the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty to do things for us. We must also make them grateful to His Majesty and die for His Majesty."
"In other words, we need to create the effect of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars."
"For example, after the First World War, His Majesty, as the Emperor of Daqian, conferred official positions on the generals of the Jin Kingdom or the Northern Wei Dynasty who had made outstanding contributions, and gave them support. In addition, he would also reward a certain amount of money and provide benefits. "
"In addition, orders and prohibitions must be followed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. Those who dare to rob a large number of people will be killed without mercy. All property must not be left alone and allowed to be robbed. Once such robbery is done, it will harm our people."
Fang Weihu spoke eloquently: "We must use them, but we must also restrain them, and we must make them grateful, so that they can have further enthusiasm. For example, in future foreign wars, these troops must also be mobilized to participate in wars."
Zhuge Shang praised: "I understand what Mr. Fang said."
Zhao Shan added: "What Fang Qing just explained is the way of fighting in the country. In the future, we will attack the countries in the Western Region. By mobilizing these troops to participate in the war, we can allow them to rob property and exert their fighting power. Fighting at home, and fighting abroad. The fighting is two different things, so we can let it go more freely."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Fang Weihu saluted with sincerity.
Zhao Shan continued: "That's basically it. I will adapt to the situation. The weather is cold now. Although there is nothing to do, Fang Qing must also pay attention to the adjustment and layout of the army to prepare for the attack on Yangzhou after the spring of next year. Zhuge Qing wants to mobilize Food, grass, equipment, preparation for war.”
"I accept your order!"
Fang Weihu replied solemnly.
Zhuge Shangdao: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that everything is going on in an orderly manner. For next year's autumn harvest, I have another idea to expand the granary along the Grand Canal that goes south along the Yellow River."
Zhao Shan asked: "Why do you want to expand the granary?"
Zhuge Shang explained: "After a bumper harvest this year, people's lives improved rapidly. There was a lot of food in the local area and the price of food dropped. The court set the lowest purchase price. On the one hand, it purchased food to maintain the people's income. On the other hand, it purchased food and stored it in the granary. .”
"The granaries near Luoyang are already full, enough for the imperial court to consume."
"However, there are insufficient granaries in many places along the Grand Canal, and other grains purchased have to be transported to Luoyang for consumption. I believe that granaries can be built along the way for storage."
"It can be mobilized at any time when needed, which can also reduce losses during transportation."
Zhuge Shang solemnly said: "For the imperial court, it can solve the urgent need. For the local government, once there is a problem in the local area, food can be allocated for disaster relief at any time to alleviate the difficulties of the people. Of course, the premise is to completely recapture Yangzhou and control the country. The canal runs completely through Yangzhou."
Zhao Shan ordered: "I have no objection to Zhuge Qing's proposal and can start making arrangements."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhuge Shang had a smile on his face.
With the emperor's approval, Zhuge Shang can directly arrange it. This is not a trivial matter, but a major event and a major project, and it can only be done with the emperor's approval.
After Zhao Shan had discussed everything properly, he said no more and asked Zhuge Shang and Fang Weihu to go down and prepare for the war and administration in the coming year.
Zhao Shan did not summon Xiao Li and Shusunchang immediately. He waited for two days before summoning Xiao Li and Shusunchang.
This is summoning two people at the same time.
There was no separate summons.
The last time, Yao Qian and Shusunchang came to negotiate, it was to discuss compensation, and Zhao Shan had to use Yao Qian to summon him alone. This time there was no need, as Da Gan's strength had already been proven.
After Zhao Shan's edict was passed down, Shusunchang and Xiao Li went to the palace hand in hand.
The two met outside the palace.
After Uncle Sun Chang saw Xiao Li, he said solemnly: "Prime Minister Xiao, when we go to the palace to see Zhao Shan, we must advance and retreat together. Only in this way can we barely protect ourselves, do you think?"
Xiao Li said without hesitation: "Prime Minister Uncle Sun is right. No matter how Zhao Shan forces him, I will definitely stick to the bottom line."
The two looked at each other in silence.
They entered the main hall of the palace hand in hand, and after standing in the main hall, Xiao Li and his uncle Sun Chang saluted together, and each said their congratulations to Zhao Shan, the gifts they had sent, and their respect for Zhao Shan as the Khan of Heaven.
The two of them looked extremely respectful.
Zhao Shan glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "I have received your thoughts, and I am very relieved."
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and boasted: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, respected by all the ages, and it is natural for him to become the Khan of Heaven."
Uncle Sun Chang said: "My uncle Sun Chang, I would like to pay my respects to His Majesty Tian Khan."
Zhao Shan smiled slightly and said: "You all respect me as the Khan of Heaven, does that mean you all obey my orders and follow my dispatches?"
"yes!"
Xiao Li and Shusun Chang answered simultaneously.
Zhao Shan's expression turned cold and solemn, and he continued: "If I want to clear out the hidden dangers in Daqian, I need the help of Jin Kingdom and Northern Wei Dynasty. I don't need many troops. You each send 15,000 troops and carry them for another month. They came to Luoyang to participate in the war."
Xiao Li frowned and argued with reason: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin has just suffered from civil strife. I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Shusunchang also planned to respond to Xiao Li, but saw Zhao Shan looking over, especially the fierce light in Zhao Shan's eyes, which made Shusunchang's heart tremble. He said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the Northern Wei Dynasty promises to complete the mission."
Xiao Li looked over instantly.
His eyes were puzzled and full of anger. Shusunchang, you bad old man, didn’t you say we would advance and retreat together? Aren't you sticking to the bottom line? Why did you just give in?
I believe you as a ghost.
