Before occupying Yunwu, Wuwei county alone could raise less than 20 thousand foot soldiers, and the continuous smallscale conflicts constantly offset the occasional recruitment source; After the surrender of Jincheng, the targeted selection of the army was carried out, and barely enough 30,000; Then, after the victory, a small number of recruits joined the army, and they also recruited one or two thousand soldiers in Longcheng. Therefore, from the perspective of quantity, our total strength is about 35,000, which is called 40,000although we don’t know who this socalled 40,000 is to deter.
This is really too difficult. Although Liangzhou is still a serious city in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are a total of 100,000 people with less than 500,000 people. If compared with Yuzhou, Jizhou, a county or even a big county, it is not as good as adding barren farmland in the northwest, less farming, less profitable resources, and little coal, iron and salt. It is not difficult to recruit soldiers in troubled times, but it is not easy for Liangzhou to raise soldiers. I really can’t imagine how Uncle Han Sui can support 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers by relying on poor Jincheng County.
What? Is 30,000 to 50,000 imaginary? This imaginary number is too unbelievable?
Cough, cough, imaginary number should also have a concept. Didn’t it just happen a few years ago? Han Sui and Marten merged and invaded Sanfu, which matched the capital Luoyang at that time. At that time, the court was afraid that there would be no soldiers in hand, so that Dong Zhuo, who was holding tens of thousands of military forces in Hedong, could act as the firstline commanderinchief of the bandits.
Dong thief’s hands were all brought out by himself, and he jumped into politics. Later, before he died, the emperor asked him to pay his troops. He refused to pay himself. Of course, he cherished the military forces all the more. It should be said that he and Huang Fusong Han Sui Marten fought for several games, which was barely repelled. However, when they were chasing Han Sui, they fell into a brave and brazen ambush by Jincheng Qiang people. Dong Zhuo himself escaped and did get a promotion when he came back. It is understandable that after all, he defended the capital.
This disaster should not be small. Without 20,000 to 30,000 people, it is impossible to cause such a general trend. Even if the number of 30,000 to 50,000 in Han Sui is imaginary at most, thousands of heads are wet. So I wonder if such a huge army has supported him for so long.
Pang Rou told me that the answer was the simplest but predatory.
Plunder?
This is indeed a simple and economical method.
Especially when the yellow turban insurrectionary breaks out one after another, the imperial court has long been decadent and can survive. Fortunately, the border is tinkering with each other, and it is controlled by its own strength.
Therefore, the more chaotic the world is, the smaller the population is, but the more troops there are.
The fourth chapter marten ambitions
It’s definitely a ten thousandprofit business to plunder this kind of business without money if it can be reinsurance without too much loss
Jincheng County is bordered by Qiang in the west, Hanyang in the east, Wuwei in the north and Longxi in the south. Its geographical position is roughly the same. Among them, the biggest force in Longxi County is Dong Zhuo’s family, Han Sui, who has the courage to rush to plunder? Jincheng is a place where Qiang and Han live together. If you want to wage a largescale western QiangQiang war, his own strength will not be up to standard. The Qiang people are poorer than he is, otherwise they will not come to invade Xiliang from time to time. If you want to make a conquest, you will have your own money and food. In the north, Wuwei is Marten, Han Sui Marten. Although both sides have frequent fires, they have always been selfcontrolled. Moreover, Wuwei Jincheng is equally poor. Unless you are hungry in winter, the general law will break out.
To plunder eastward as much as possible.
Then Hanyang County, although the first county in Liangzhou is much more prosperous than Takeshi Kaneshiro, a simple Hanyang was not the primary target of being slaughtered in the past. Han Sui often bypassed the Liangzhou secretariat and made concerted efforts to March eastward in the periphery of Chang’ an. The socalled Kou Sanfu refers to harassing Zuo Fengling, You Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin.
It is said that my grandfather Ma Su is a righthanded person. As a result, every time he invades the righthanded person, Marten Han Sui is always the first to bear the brunt. This kind of thing has happened frequently in the past decade. Of course, the court has also issued an ultimatum and sent troops several times to wipe out thieves and bandits. But the result has always been a winwin situation. Ma Han and his two men are slightly inferior, so they can ask for a retreat. Recently, the court has been unable to control them. Han Sui has made great efforts to recruit young people, which has led to more and more intrusions. The court has made great efforts to crusade and Dong Zhuo After the Han and Ma belonged to their tribal forces in name, the harassment intensity and scale were slightly reduced. When the salary was insufficient, they could attack each other, while Dong Zhuoli consolidated his position in the DPRK. Others would not attack Luoyang, but he would also do nothing. Ma and Han often showed filial piety and gave some indication to Li Rushou’s cronies on holidays.
So with Dong Xiangguo’s secret edict, Marten and his nephew led 25,000 soldiers to stride across from more than 10 counties in Youfufeng, which really made me feel guilty.
After sending troops from Hanyang to the southeast, we marched through Jixian, Chongqing, Yongxian, Yan, Wugong, Huaili (Youfufeng County), Maoling, Ping Ling and other places, and then we reached the junction of Sanfu and Chang ‘an to the east.
The scale of this ancient capital of the two dynasties has not yet reached its peak, but it is enough to make the soldiers who have never seen the world stunned. Just looking at the old man from ten miles away, he can’t help but sigh, Gu Zang, Yunwu and Longcheng are not as good as dog kennels and cowsheds as Chang’ an!
No one has any objection.
We’re going to get it is not high, but I have heard it.
I hope it goes well. I whispered my prayers and turned around and asked, How many troops are there in Chang ‘an? Who is the defender?
Sir, the intelligence article can of course be Pang’s eldest brother now. His younger brother will not be interested in such meticulous and interesting work, and he will also let Pang Rou work for the time being.
Chang ‘an is Dong Zhuo’s brother, Dong Min, who is also the assistant to Niu Fu, Mona Lee and Su Li.
There is no need to be afraid. Of course, I won’t worry about these ninestream generals. Marten Pound is enough to kill the fourmember mediocrity in terms of rank.
It is reported that Niu Fu has personally led the troops to support the defenders in Luoyang three days ago, which should be less than half, about 20,000 to 30,000, but even so, it is impossible for us to storm. I was relieved by the news of Pang Rou.
Who said we were going to storm? In the face of impregnability, most of Chang ‘an is cavalry, and we don’t have decent siege equipment at all. Why do we have to smash the horse’s head into the city gate? !
Dad asked, Are there any soldiers stationed nearby?
There are 20,000 county soldiers in Huaili and more than 10,000 Zhang Ji military forces in Dongzheng County.
Zhang Ji? I laughed at the foot massage.
oh? Zhang Ji? Torre a slight frown immediately stretch I remember he should be ZuLi people
Uncle said it was Zhang Ji, a great clan of Zuli, who was … Ah Pang Rou seemed to want to say something, but he still froze.
In those days … we wanted to recruit Zhang Ji’s nephew Zhang Xiu, who was scolded by him. Zhang Ji, of course, remembered that a few years ago, he broke the news and took over Pang Rou’s words. Now Zhang Xiu has taken refuge in Zhang Ji. I don’t know how the two brothers will react when we occupy Chang ‘an.
Dad suddenly smiled. I heard that although Zhang Ji is a lout, his wife looks very good?
I was dazed. Did he say that he was right about Zou? The general status of ancient women was extremely low. In general, based on historical reasons, even the surname could not be kept, so her surname could still be known, which was definitely related to the affair with Comrade Lao Cao.
A soulstirring battle in Wancheng is one of the few major setbacks in Lao Cao’s lifeZhang Xiu had surrendered for various reasons, and he was dissatisfied with Lao Cao’s attitude. He pulled up Zhang Xiu’s early death and attacked Lao Cao when his father Zhang Ji and his wife Zou Shi were sleeping. He unexpectedly killed Cao’s parents Cao Ang and his nephew Cao Anmin, and Cao Cao’s personal bodyguard Dian Wei Lao Cao escaped from the ancient E Lai, which is rare in his lifeprobably comparable to the two things in the romance, that is, Cao Cao San Xiao left a beard and a robe by the Wei River.
This counterattack has achieved the dignity of Zhang Xiu, the decisionmaker of the four people, as a matter of course. Secondly, Jia Xu, the counselor, was wily, unaware of the natural beauty. The third bodyguard, Dian Wei, is loyal to the Lord, even though he died at the expense of loyalty and courage; Fourth, Zou’s peerless and beautiful widow provoked Cao Gong to say, Are there prostitutes in this city? Attracted my nephew to come up with a plan, invited me to be a femme fatale, and let old Cao Le spend a night. In a blink of an eye, the fireworks army in the city flew to dust and eventually suffered a crushing defeat. My nephew’s prohealth was completely unknown. Although Zou’s name was widely known, there was no news after the war.
Does dad mean that, too
Uncle, you … Pang Rou obviously felt very abrupt about Comrade Lao Ma, and it was quite difficult to accept the tactical direction he was discussing.
