Night time.
The palace of the Lord of Qinghe City.
Ying Ziye summoned Han Xin, Dao and other military generals to come to the city lord's palace council.
In the main hall, the lights are brightly lit.
The entire building and decoration are resplendent and jeweled.
The military musicians of the Great Qin Empire played bells and drums and played the long qin.
Thin and plump, the delicate and charming woman stretches her figure and sings poetry.
"The morning breeze is blowing, and the northern forest is gloomy. I haven't seen the gentleman, so I am worried. No matter what, I am so selfless!"
"There are bud oak trees in the mountains, and there are six thorns in the sun. I haven't seen a gentleman, and I am worried and happy. No matter what, there is so much selflessness!"
"There are buds in the mountains, and trees in the sky. I haven't seen a gentleman, and I am as worried as drunk. No matter what, there is so much selflessness..."
The song is melodious and full of emotion, carrying the longing and sadness of a woman waiting for her husband at home.
It is the morning breeze in the Qin Feng chapter in the Book of Songs.
Even the brave and brave soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, who had experienced hundreds of battles, could not help but feel silently for it, with tears shining in their eyes.
Ying Ziye waved his hand, and the attendant brought up a tray filled with letters.
"This is a letter from your family in the Great Qin Empire."
Ying Ziye said: "It's not just you, all the soldiers in the army have letters."
In this era of underdeveloped communications, it is necessary to leave home to fight, or even travel across mountains and rivers to conquer barbarian enemy countries!
The soldiers were naturally homesick, but they couldn't go back.
At this time, a letter from home is needed to comfort the army...
After all, people not only need material things, but also spiritual comfort.
Even though it is just a letter from home, it can relieve the stress caused by soldiers fighting on the battlefield, mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
These family letters were collected by the officials of the Qin Empire from door to door, based on the list of military officers and soldiers.
Then the martial arts experts rushed to deliver it.
Moreover, the Qin Empire officials also took great care of military households, the families of soldiers who were fighting abroad.
"Thank you, Sir (His Royal Highness)!"
All the generals in the army paid their respects one after another.
"Ah!"
Ying Ziye smiled lightly and said, "You can read the letters from home when you get back, and now we can discuss business matters."
"I have sent a message back to the Qin Empire, informing my father to send troops and officials to garrison and govern various places."
After all, the army under his command now, even including the zombie army, is only more than 135,000, which is too few soldiers.
And there are more than 200 cities in the entire Eastern Xinjiang!
Moreover, although the students of the Qin Empire can participate in the governance of various places, they lack experience. Even military officers need experienced officials to assist them...
Therefore, the Qin Empire had to send troops and officials to support the Mauryan Dynasty's eastern border.
"I know this!"
Everyone nodded when they heard the words, responded, and waited for the next step.
After all, Ying Ziye could decide these matters alone. There was no need to summon them, he just needed to inform them afterwards.
"Besides this, I need your advice on how to face the upcoming attack by the elite troops of the Mauryan Dynasty!"
Ying Ziye looked around at everyone and said solemnly.
"There are seven regions in the Eastern Border, with a total of 213 cities!"
Shisong Dao said with a serious face. He knew these things by heart.
"There are two hundred and thirteen cities. Even if one city is only guarded by 500 Qin soldiers, it will still need 106,500 soldiers to guard it!"
"I'm afraid we won't have many troops left in our hands by then, so we need to concentrate our forces to face the coming Maurya army..."
But when he finished speaking.
But a general stood up and put forward different views and opinions.
He is wearing armor, has a tall and majestic figure, has thick beard and hair, and has a rough face. With five thousand people under his command, he is a veritable general.
Tian Ye said: "If we gather our troops in one place and don't guard the regional cities, how can we control the military?!"
"Do we only rely on Da Qin students, military generals and officials?"
"But their numbers are too small. Without elite soldiers to obey orders, they cannot complete military control, and the rebel army of the Maurya Dynasty cannot stand alone!"
All the generals talked about their opinions and debated heatedly.
Han Xin was also deep in thought, his eyes flashing with unknown colors and light.
"If a large army is sent to guard various places, as Shi Congdao said, more than 200 cities will require more than 100,000 troops!"
"How should we deal with the elite troops of the Maurya Dynasty then?"
"But if the troops are not divided and gathered in one place or various places, I am afraid that the efficiency of military control in other cities will be greatly reduced, giving opportunities to the Mauryan Dynasty spies lurking in the dark. They are likely to incite speech and cause trouble..."
And no matter which method is used, except for the place where Ying Ziye and his army are stationed, no matter whether they divide their troops to guard various places, the rest of the places cannot resist the Mauryan Dynasty's troops.
By dividing the troops, the Qin garrison in each city was too small, and it was easy for the opponent to gather their troops in one place, and the peacock army could be several times or even ten times the number to defeat them.
If you don't divide your troops, it will be easier to break!
The rebel army's combat effectiveness is too poor. It's just that there are many people. It is difficult to compete against the elite division.
Only the place where the armies of Ying Ziye, Han Xin and others are stationed can resist the enemy.
Ying Ziye was also troubled by this matter, and sent men to the territory of the Qin Empire to inform the First Emperor Ying Zheng to arrange military support as soon as possible...
The Maurya Dynasty was not blocked by the Great Wall like the Qin Empire, and the Great Wall was also blessed with formations and runes, making it difficult to attack and break.
This not only facilitated the invasion of the Qin Empire, but also facilitated the Maurya Dynasty to come and recover.
But in the end, Ying Ziye made a decision.
"Divide the troops, but not all!"
Ying Ziye summarized the opinions and countermeasures of both sides, and said with a serious face: "Deploy troops in every main city in the Eastern Border and important cities, and station them at each pass."
"Those less important cities only have one or two teams of soldiers left."
In this way, the number of soldiers needed to divide the troops is only 10,000 to 20,000.
There are only fifty to one hundred people in each city. Although the number is smaller, it will affect changes and the intensity of military control will be reduced, but it is enough to have the rebel army to help.
After all, some cities now do not have Qin garrison...
The main cities in each domain will be guarded by an army of 5,000 to more than 10,000 people.
At every pass, there are at least a thousand people.
We do not seek to fight head-on with the Mauryan Dynasty's elite army and defeat it, but only seek to delay time and continue the stalemate with the enemy...
Once the enemy attacks, except for the regional cities, run away if you can.
Moreover, the army stationed in the territorial city will not die. If there is a danger of destruction, it will be evacuated in time.
After reinforcements from the Great Qin Empire arrive, the number of troops in various places will also be strengthened.
