After listening to Chai Yuan's words, Han Yun smiled and said,
"How can you calculate the strength of troops like this?"
"What? Did I calculate it wrong?"
"Of course it's not right, and it's absolutely wrong. Fighting is not something that can be done just by looking at the data.
Let's talk about your two million Western Region army first. If the Western Region can really organize two million people, then they will be the least worrying force.
The Western Regions were bitterly cold, and the supply of grain and grass was scarce every year. The people could barely feed themselves. When Zhao Long swept through the three countries in the Western Regions, he could not find much food.
With two million people, it would cost half a million shi of food just to eat horses and chews for one day, and this war would definitely be a protracted one.
If we really want to organize the two million people, it will be difficult for them to reach Yumen Pass. When the time comes, there will be another disaster in Loulan, and they themselves will have to start chaos first.
Moreover, our strategic depth is very long. Even if Yumen Pass cannot be defended, the army can retreat inward. Longchuan is barren and there is not much food. At that time, we only need to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and drive away the people. They will starve to death soon.
Last time, it was because those kings lost their minds and the Bodhisattva Wonderful Desire did not understand the art of war at all, that such a disaster occurred.
This time, after Jin Chan takes power, he will definitely not mess around. The Western Region can send millions of troops to its limit.
Let’s talk about the demon tribe. There are indeed not many high-level demon tribesmen and barbarians, but they can drive wild beasts over and serve as cannon fodder and food.
But there are limits to the beasts on the grassland. We just need to try our best to block them and prevent them from going deep into the hinterland of Yanchuan. As time goes by, they will naturally have to withdraw.
Let’s talk about the Southern Demonic Cult. I think this is the force that cannot be underestimated. "
"Demon Cult?"
Chai Yuan frowned when he heard this. He had never faced up to the power of the Demon Sect.
At this time, Wang Fugui nodded and said,
"Yes, there is news from the Demon Cult that their leader Liu Baitian has broken through to the first level, and they have secretly trained a hundred thousand elite soldiers deep in the mountains.
These 100,000 elite soldiers are the limit of what they can do. Any more and they will be exposed.
But after the uprising, they will recruit bandits and refugees from Yunchuan to join the army.
By then, the number of people may reach 200,000. "
"Two hundred thousand is not much."
Chai Yuan frowned.
Wang Fugui said,
"But there is another piece of news. The Demon Cult has been making small moves in the Land of Demon Fall. I don't know what they are plotting. I only know that Liu Baitian attaches great importance to it, even more than his own army.
Liu Baitian was very suspicious and my people couldn't get in. "
"That really shouldn't be underestimated. It's time to mobilize troops to reinforce the south."
"Right now, there are 500,000 forbidden troops outside the capital, more than 200,000 troops on the northwest frontier, and 300,000 guards along the Great Wall. A total of one million troops. How should we allocate them?" .z.
Han Yun shook his head and said,
"You can do this yourself. There is no need to discuss it with me and Chai Yuan. Neither of us have a professional background.
Tomorrow you can summon the officials and generals from the Ministry of War, formulate tactics, and mobilize troops to defend against the enemy.
If there are not enough troops, I still have a way. "
"any solution?"
"First, aren't there a lot of refugees in Chuchuan and Luochuan Yunchuan now? Instead of opening warehouses to provide food relief and raising them in vain, it would be better to let them serve as soldiers, let them fight, and give them military pay and food.
They have full stomachs, receive military pay, and can provide food for their families. They will be grateful to the court.
The more refugees we gather, the less the enemy will be able to win over, weakening the enemy. "
"Recruiting refugees as soldiers?"
Wang Fugui frowned and said,
"It is only natural for the imperial court to provide disaster relief and provide food for the refugees. Now that they have to fight to have food to eat, I am afraid they will be dissatisfied? You are really a living king of hell."
"Special situations are dealt with specially. Now isn't there a war coming? Besides, they followed the rebels so that they could have enough to eat. Now they are following the imperial army, not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also get military pay.
After all, the imperial court is orthodox and upright. If you follow the rebels, you will be a traitor and you will be beheaded. Rebellion is a big deal, and they will still be afraid of it subconsciously.
Our Dachuan is different from those peasant uprisings at the end of the dynasty. That kind of dynasty could no longer produce much food, grass and money.
But our Dachuan is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and we have plenty of food, grass, and money. We are fully capable of providing disaster relief and quelling rebellions, as long as the emperor is not a coward. "
"Okay, stop scolding me. You just said one, what about two?"
"Secondly, I will publish the imperial list today and tell the world that I defeated the demon clan and the first-class Buddhist clan, so that my prestige will be higher among the people.
Then, after those families have sent troops, they will issue a proclamation against thieves, calling on the young and strong people to join the army enthusiastically to protect their homes and country.
As for me, I will use my influence to call on the martial arts world and invite friends in the rivers and lakes to help the defenders defend the city and defeat the enemy.
At that time, I will go back and lobby several other major forces, and with their influence, the martial arts people in the world can be mobilized.
Although these people have not received military training, they are all highly skilled in martial arts and can play a considerable role. "
"Okay, it's settled. When you call on the world's martial arts community, I will also inform the secret agents in the Chamber of Commerce and let them lobby the big forces together."
Wang Fugui made the decision on the spot.
Han Yun nodded and then said,
"Actually, I'm not too worried about the battlefield at the bottom. What I'm most worried about is the lack of combat power at the top.
On the second-tier and first-tier battlefields, one person like this can influence a local battle. The enemy has a lot of second-tier and first-tier enemies, so we have to deal with them.
How many second-grade ones are there in the Demon Sect? "
"There are four great protectors, all of whom are second-grade, but no one knows how many are hidden."
"Then let's count them based on the four. There are six Buddhist clans, seven demon clans, and five barbarian clans. Counting this way, the opponent has twenty-two light second-level experts.
On our side, there are only three second-grade people in the palace who can guarantee participation in the war. At most, if we add aunt and Pan Dengyan, there will be none.
There are more than a dozen of them at Tianshi Mansion. You can fight for them. After all, Tianshi Mansion has always shouldered the important task of resisting foreign aggression. They are also very responsible. I will contact them after a while. "
When Han Yun said this, he paused and then said,
"What I'm most worried about is the first-grade battlefield here. With my current combat power, I can barely deal with a first-grade one. Xin'er is pretty good and quite strong, but we can't do it alone.
It is not yet known whether Tianshi Mansion has a first-class man, and whether he will take action. There are three first-class men on the other side, and the methods of the Demon Cult leader are still unclear. The two guys, Jin Chan and Monkey King, are really more perverted than the other. "
