Wang Shumao stood up suddenly, his eyes full of shock.
"Wang is a merchant, but he also knows that it is not easy to change generals before the battle."
"Hmph, do you look down on me? Do you know the relationship between me and Li Lu?"
Wang Shumao's face was full of embarrassment.
"Who doesn't know this? The relationship between Xiangbang and the general has always been bad! Rumors, rumors..."
Guo Chong immediately pricked up his ears.
"What's the rumor?"
"It is rumored that the general scolds you every day in the military camp, calling you a sycophant!"
Guo Chong gritted his teeth.
"Old man, you've gone too far!"
After getting angry, Guo Chong looked at Wang Shushu.
"If the truth is to accomplish this, Tongtie..."
"I can't eat so much, but my savior can eat it, even if it's slightly eroded."
Guo Chong's eyes flickered, "Who is your savior?"
Wang Shumai hesitated for a moment, dipped some tea in his hand and wrote the word "Han Yin" on the table.
When Guo Chong saw these two words, he nodded immediately. The princess could not rely on her mother country, so she planned to rely on Lord Wu An. Naturally, she did not want anything to happen to Lord Wu An. This reason was understandable.
Heavy snow keeps falling.
In the military camp on Yang Gan's side, they began to shovel the snow, stuff it into the trailers of the baggage trucks, and then pour water on them. After the frozen water turned into ice, the defense was even better.
In order to better attack, a large number of holes of suitable size are left. As long as the opponent dares to attack, they can be smashed into sieves.
Because it is all ice, climbing becomes extremely difficult, making it even more difficult for the opponent to attack.
As time goes by, this Chinese New Year will probably be celebrated here.
In fact, every war is always protracted, especially if they are evenly matched.
Yang Gan, who originally wanted the blitzkrieg to end, had already resigned himself to his fate. It must be said that he was helpless.
In fact, the actual fighting time in ancient wars was very short. Many large-scale battles may be completed in half a day.
The reason why ancient wars took so long was basically spent on marching and waiting for the opportunity to fight.
To be honest, when both sides have nothing to do with the other, they will either trap the other party to death, or see who makes the mistake first.
As soon as the fighter plane arrives, it may take an hour or half a day.
Now Yang Qian and Li Lu are at odds with each other, and it depends on who makes the mistake first.
Many battles in history that lasted for three to five years were almost always in which one side was strong and the other was weak, but the strong side could not defeat the weak side in one fell swoop.
Or the stronger side sacrificed its generals in order not to lose its troops.
Based on the above two reasons and some other circumstances, the stronger party will adopt a situation of besieging the other party.
As for when it will end, it generally tests the will and the reserves of food, grass and medicine.
The really difficult thing is the preparation before the war. Maybe just to fight once, the preliminary preparations will take half a year, a year, or even several years or more than ten years of preparation.
Sun Tzu said: Anyone who raises an army of 100,000, marches out for thousands of miles, pays for the people, pays tribute to the public, spends thousands of gold a day, causes turmoil inside and outside, is lazy on the road, and cannot do anything, will have a family of 700,000.
The meaning of the translation is that Sun Wu said that if he raises one hundred thousand troops and marches thousands of miles, the expenses of the domestic people and the expenses of the country's royal family will cost one thousand gold every day; at the same time, the front and rear are turbulent, and the civilian soldiers are tired from running around and cannot engage in normal work. There are as many as 700,000 families.
Therefore, the war must be fully prepared and ended as quickly as possible.
Yang Qian calculated the consumption of the army every day. After calculating every day, he clutched his heart.
A man who doesn't know how much money is worth, seeing Zhang Yumeng holding a tablet and smiling like a fool, a flash of envy flashed in Yang Qian's eyes.
Yang Qian did some calculations. Calculated based on the precise calculation, he dispatched so many troops, and the daily consumption was about a thousand gold. That was because the county had already realized the industrialization of some products.
Looking at the output of some things on weekdays
Not much, but once it is used and the machine is started, the output is terrifying for this era.
There are also grains and meats available free of charge. In terms of cost, they are much cheaper than those on the market.
However, this is consumption, and the military expenses of the army have not even been calculated.
There are no other twists and turns here in Yang Qian. The salary is based on the annual salary. If you lose to a fight, if you win, it will be a huge expense.
Whenever he calculates military expenditures, Yang Gan's eyes are like rabbits. If he doesn't get huge benefits from this war, he will suffer a loss.
Of course, if these consumptions are compared with the entire country of Shangguo, it is just drizzle. Let alone the entire country of Shangguo, even the cities and nearby lands that I have obtained have already returned a mouthful of milk. Unfortunately, Shangguo will not be destroyed. , that cannot be defended.
The phone rang, and after Yang Qian picked it up, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, keep going. Pay attention to your own safety. If possible, ask Guo Chong to come over with a wine bag and rice bag."
"promise!"
"Can you go back?"
Zhang Yumeng crossed her legs on the bed, and her white feet looked very cute. Although she was tall, her feet were not big.
Yang Gan shook his head.
"It's not that simple. If you want to go back, I can go back with a military order. But if I go back now, I will lose all my pants."
Zhang Yumeng suddenly sat up.
"Brother, look at the current situation. You still want to conquer Shang Guo. You haven't even seen Shang Guo's country."
Yang Gan's face darkened, he leaned back and closed his eyes tightly. At this time, a pair of soft, white catkins pressed on his shoulders and kneaded them continuously.

Smelling the body fragrance, Yang Qian immediately guessed who it was. They were an old couple. He could tell who it was by the sound of walking, smell and touch.
There is only fragrance and touch but no sound, then there is no one but the elusive Qingqing.
Yang Gan patted Qingqing's catkins and said with a smile, "What?"
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about you. You're under too much pressure!"
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows, and probably only Qingqing in the audience could tell that he was under a lot of pressure.
Nothing in this world is absolutely certain. Even if you want to be circumcised, you will have to sign a consent form for the operation.
Yang Qian's pressure is undoubtedly huge. No matter what plan he makes, accidents will happen. For a huge matter, with every additional plan, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Yang Qian is now walking on a tightrope, he will fall if he is not careful, but in order to prevent accidents, every plan must have two or three plans to make up for it.
One can imagine how many things Yang Qian has to consider now.
Even successful planning often depends on a part of luck.
"You only get motivation when you have pressure. To put it harshly, the benefits have not yet reached the standard. I have invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, and have been preparing for several years. I can't just get back the money, and I can't get back the money now. I have to win the Shang Dynasty." country, I will make a lot of money, or I will be driven away and lose everything."
Yang Gan turned to look at that beautiful face, his eyes were solemn, as if he had the mentality of a gambler, but also seemed to have the determination of a strong man.
"If I retreat, the development of the entire Yuntong County will be stuck in a bottleneck, and years of work will be destroyed in one day!"
"Then we have to stay here!"
Yang Gan laughed and said, "When we stay here, it's almost the same as in Zhuangzi. Apart from being a little more inconvenient, there's not much difference. Just wait, the situation will be solved soon."
The girls had great trust in Yang Qian. Zhang Yumeng looked at Yang Qian with admiration on his face, but his eyes immediately turned mocking.
After the pretense was over, Yang Gan returned to the hard work of handling government affairs, especially the management of occupied cities.
Inside Changshan City.
Some scholar-officials began to plot something, and the city fell, although the soldiers did not commit any crime against them.
But the feeling of being surrounded by tigers and wolves can really kill someone.
If they ever turn against each other in the future, the most unlucky ones will definitely be their family of scholar-bureaucrats.
Ordinarily, in Guizhou, ordinary people and tenant farmers' homes are nothing more than plundered for money, food, and women.
To the defeated deserters, they were picky eaters, but to the elite army, these things were disdainful.
What they can see is naturally the things in the scholar-bureaucrat's family, the food in the warehouses.
Boxes of gold, coins and rare treasures.
In fact, women from scholar-bureaucrat families are more fragrant and beautiful than ordinary women, so they are naturally the targets of this group of elite soldiers.
Therefore, this group of scholar-bureaucrats felt that they should unite at this time.
It has to be said that one person is short-term and the other is good-looking. After these scholar-bureaucrats, country squires, and local landowners were added together, they immediately selected a few people and sneaked out during the day.
They were prepared to resist, but this did not affect their plans to invite reinforcements from outside.
Several of the smarter servants were sweating from their temples when they left the city.
Fortunately, they all made it out of the city safely.
After leaving the city, I ran for a long time to find my own village that was not crowded outside, and set off on horseback in the direction of Fu Yan.
The young city guard held a telescope and watched several people set off from a distance.
After putting down the telescope, the young general asked the subordinate next to him, "What did Amagari say?"
"Tian Shousi said that from the thirty cities, we are the only one to send out men and horses to ask for help. If we can draw the opponent's main force over, the defenders of Baihu Pass will provide appropriate cooperation."
"good!"
The subordinate hesitated and said.
"General, do you want to ask your Majesty for more troops? The opponent's main force is hundreds of thousands. If you randomly allocate a few troops to attack the city, we will be under great pressure here."
The young general looked disdainful.
"Shangguo's main force is indeed more numerous than us, but just to hold you back will require a lot of energy from them, Amagoriji has speculated."
"Either the other party doesn't come, or if they come, there won't be more than 10,000 people. The Shang* system is different from us."
"If we calculate it based on an army of ten thousand people, the number will not be less but more, but the number of combatable soldiers will not be more than three thousand. The rest are just civilians."
"The casualties may have been between four and five hundred before they collapsed on their own. Plus, with the white tiger taking care of them, I guess there won't be any big problem."
"Report~~~~!"
At this time, a young man, wearing the same armor as others, walked over. The only difference was that the decoration on the chest was slightly different.
