What is the ability to command troops? Simply put, it is the ability to march and fight. To put it more complexly, the ability to command troops refers to military abilities, including military management, strategy, combat, courage, and other aspects.
The war in ancient times was not like those in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a confrontation between two armies. It was also a confrontation between the comprehensive capabilities of the two generals.
As the saying goes, a commander with 30,000 troops is a general, and a commander with 100,000 troops is a commander. This Li Lu has an army of hundreds of thousands, which shows how terrifying his ability to command troops is.
During Yang Gan's march.
Zhang Yumeng came over on horseback.
"Yang Gan, I feel very strange."
Yang Qian was watching with pieces of information. The time spent riding horses was boring, okay?
"Huh? Why are you using your brain now? Tell me?"
The corner of Zhang Yumeng's mouth twitched fiercely. Are you kidding? He has no brains. He is a doctor after all. He has skipped several levels.
"The soldiers we have now are all recruited from Guan County, Yuntong County and Liaodong County. Can't you recruit soldiers from the other three counties?"
"If we can form an army of one million people, wouldn't it be enough to defeat Shangguo?"
Yang Qian was stunned, slowly closed the information, and rolled his eyes.
"The other three counties have already been conquered on a small scale, and what do I need to do with so many soldiers? Don't I need to feed them at ordinary times? Do you know how much food it takes to feed an army of one million people, and how many auxiliary troops I need to prepare?"
"Of course, this is not the key reason!"
Yang Qian took out a cigarette from his arms, gave one to Zhang Yumeng, lit it, and took a nice puff.
"Then what is the key reason? We should not be short of food and grass now."
"It's not a problem of food and grass, but a problem that social development does not allow. Without a large amount of labor force, it is difficult for all walks of life to develop. If we really recruit millions of soldiers, then only farmers and soldiers will be left in my entire territory. There is still no way in this world. What hope?"
"The most important reason I said is..."
Yang Gan tilted his head.
"It's not that I look down on myself, it's just that I don't have a strong ability to command troops for the time being."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Yumeng somewhat understood it, but he didn't understand it thoroughly.
"The ability to command troops."
"The ability to command troops? You seemed to have said last time that it was the number of troops you led, right?"
"To put it crudely, this is it. The generals I have trained so far can only lead thirty to fifty thousand people. Even if they command one hundred thousand troops, they can only fight with the wind. Ran Jing is more capable and can command troops. I only have two people with more than 400,000 yuan."
Zhang Yumeng thought quickly, and then looked at Yang Qian with a look of shock.
"What? Can Krisna lead so many troops?"
Yang Gan's face darkened, he looked at Krisna who was nearby, and lowered his voice.
"Fart, she is just a reckless person. She can only lead tens of thousands of people. Her lieutenants have to take care of many things."
"My subordinate Lian Angxiong can command more than 400,000 troops."
Zhang Yumeng was surprised and said, "What about that old boy? Does that mean you have an S-class general?"
"That's the red SSS class, but the opponent has now dispatched the gold SSS class, so having more soldiers now is not a good thing, and it will also put more logistical pressure on us."
"The Li Lu you mentioned is a golden SSS-level person, but is there another person?"
"Ahem!"
Yang Gan turned his profile towards Zhang Yumeng with confidence on his face.
Zhang Yumeng was confused. After thinking for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"You're not talking about yourself, are you?"
Yang Qian raised his eyebrows, took his hair at the temples between his fingers and stroked it.
"Isn't it similar?"
"Then you still want to be a military commander?"
Yang Gan twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered.
"I feel like I can do it, but I'm not too sure. After all, I rarely command such a large army."
Zhang Yumeng is a little confused
.
"When you were in Goguryeo, you had a lot of troops."
"There are almost no armies of four to five million people commanded by different people in batches, with full authority under my command."
Yang Qian knew very clearly how much he weighed. He was sure to command so many soldiers, and he was sure to start a million-level battle.
After all, he worked his way up from the bottom. Although he had never been a soldier, he started out as a school captain.
But it depends on the quality of the other party. If it is an ordinary person, forget it, but the other party is the famous general Li Lu who is famous all over the world.
Since his debut, he has never lost a single game. Currently, he only has five or six levels of confidence. If you round up, it means nothing. What is the difference between this and courting death?
Yang Qian would not joke with the lives of the soldiers he cultivated with his own hands. Ran Jing was a talented general, but Jing Huai and others had not yet grown up.
Those who fought were either foreign races or remote countries. In Yang Gan's opinion, those were just giving away experience.
Now is the time to have dinner. In the Central Plains, no matter which vassal state it is, everyone who rides on a horse is at the level of a king and can beat thieves.
"Your Majesty, the information is here!"
At this time, a member of the Tianshou Division ran over on horseback.
Yang Qian opened it and nodded suddenly, but he couldn't understand what was going on.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Yumeng said happily.
Yang Gan shook his head, "I don't know. According to the scouts' observations, the army led by Li Lu is not the rumored 400,000. It seems to be less."
"That's a good thing!"
"A good thing?"
Yang Qian took a deep breath and scratched his head, "It's hard to say."
"Notice down, march at top speed, and capture Changshan before this afternoon!"
"promise!"
The land area of Shang State is not large, but there are some relatively important cities, Changshan is one of them, Changshan is very close to Baihu Pass.

Although it is a big city, there are not many defenders. Taking this city will be easy for Yang Qian with his current armaments.
In the afternoon, some soldiers in Changshan City were talking with relaxed expressions.
At a glance, they are all middle-aged or above, and there are even some people with gray hair.
"You, look at it!!!"
A soldier pointed in the distance and saw dense, black and uniform troops gathering from a distance.
"Quick, close the door."
The soldiers were not fools. Before the guard could make any next move, they slammed the door shut with all their might.
Are you kidding me? You can tell by looking at the armor that it's not from your own family. How can they recognize their own armor?
When the army and the city were more than five hundred meters apart, they stopped neatly.
Guardsman Chang Shan swallowed unconsciously, Damn, this is just a small town, but I sent so many troops to attack.
Isn't this obvious, bullying honest people?
"Who are you? You dare to attack Shangguo's city. Do you want to start a war with me, Shangguo?"
At this time, a large wave was raised from the Chinese army camp.
【summer】
【Wu'an】
As soon as he saw the words on Da Tao, General Changshan felt like he was dead.
"Ah~~What is Baihu Pass for? We just declared war on Xia Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom's army came in. Is this our declaration of war or theirs?!!!"
"General, what should we do?"
Several lieutenants ran over.
The soldiers were ready, but the generals had gloomy faces.
They know better than anyone how many pounds they have. The entire city has no more than 5,000 defenders. This is a big city. Once the big city is broken, can the nearby small towns be preserved?
A group of cavalry ran over, and the leader shouted loudly.
"People in the city, please listen to me.
Well, we are the Daxia Yuntong border army and the commander-in-chief Wu Anjun. Now we ask you to surrender immediately. As long as you surrender, we will not disturb anyone. If not, we can attack the city! "
"How reckless! Although Changshan is just a small town on the fringes, there is no reason why our soldiers from Shang Kingdom should surrender without a fight!"
"If you have any tricks, just bring them out and I will follow them!"
When the team saw it, they immediately retreated and reported.
Guard Changshan's heart had reached rock bottom, and he hurriedly spoke to the people next to him.
"Quick, go get help."
"promise!"
"Everyone, cheer up. We are Shang people and Xia people are tigers and wolves. After entering the city, they will definitely rob our people and insult your wives and children. Can you bear it?"
"I can't bear it!"
"Okay, I have already gone to ask for help. We don't want to kill the enemy, just defend the city!"
"promise!"
The impassioned words cheered up the soldiers defending the city.
Vats and vats of golden juice were boiled on the city wall. Unfortunately, the time was too short and the golden juice could not be boiled at all.
Huge logs and stones the size of human heads were transported to the city wall. All the soldiers' eyes flashed dangerously, waiting for an order.
Just when General Chang Shan thought that the opponent was about to attack the city, he discovered that hundreds of cavalry were slowly walking towards a general guarding them. These cavalry were very strange. They had no weapons, but they were holding huge shields.
"Who is under the city?"
When they were fifty meters away, everyone stopped.
"I am Daxia, the governor of Yuntong County, the general of Zhenbei, the lord of Wu'an, Yang Qian!"
"boom!!!"
In an instant, everyone on the entire city wall was in a state of panic. The soldier just said that, but he didn't see anyone, so he generally felt that the general in charge was far away, and he might not even be in this army.
But who would have thought that he would come to the city
"You~you~you~~~~"
The guard was lying on the female wall, his eyes widened. After talking about you, he could no longer say anything.
It is impossible for Shang Guo to declare war first. He can fight, but others cannot fight back.
Yang Qian raised his head slightly and took out a loudspeaker in the room, which sounded like a bell.
"I will give you a cup of tea. Surrender. This is not for me, but for your own good."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
General Changshan laughed suddenly.
"I have met Mr. Wu An. You are indeed a famous general in the world. But if you want me to give up Changshan, is it too childish?"
Yang Gan's face was as usual. He also knew that it was impossible for others to open the city with just one word. His face was not that big.
"Baihu Pass has been captured by me, and the vanguard of Li Lu's army has also been captured by me. There are more than 130,000 Shangguo soldiers and civilians in my hands. With your five thousand defenders, we can't stop them. Don’t stop my sword!"
After speaking, Yang Gan gave the soldier next to him a look, and the soldier next to him immediately picked up the flag and waved it.
