Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ren, who is so confident, naturally doesn't know what kind of posture he met Filippo, but even if he knows, I'm afraid Zhang Ren doesn't care, this guy is now in a period of expansion, and after all, Filippo has also been hammered by Zhang Ren Several times, Zhang Ren didn't worry about the other party at all.

Therefore, Zhang Ren's letter to Yuan Tan is very interesting. After the supply is completed, the morale is high, and the momentum needs to kill the fourth eagle flag to sacrifice to heaven. Yuan Tan wrote a letter to persuade Zhang Ren, meaning to let Zhang Ren fight Just two hits. I heard that there will be a military parade in Rome in the autumn, so don't attack too hard. You will maim the opponent, and when the opponent finishes the military parade, they will come to trouble you.

After Zhang Ren received it, he expressed his understanding, and then flicked the broad sword in his hand into the air, and the destiny guidance was activated. Zhang Ren had a feeling in the dark that as long as he walked around, he could meet what he wanted to meet Therefore, Zhang Ren set off arrogantly and vigorously.

Naturally, Chen Xi and the others in Chang'an don't know about these things. To be precise, Chen Xi and the others are still thinking about what Fu Ward and the others want to do.

"It's gone, it's nothing important, Mendeting Hou and the others are in Congling, even if Forward wants to attack, they can't take it in a short time." Chen Xi was stunned for a while, but he didn't find anything, so he shook his hand. Just pretend it's okay.

"It's the same thing, but it's inevitable to be a little worried. If the opponent flees to Xinzhou and can't beat our Han army, it should be no problem to fight those miscellaneous fish in Xinzhou." Liu Bei said worriedly, the Western Regions had just been won In a few years, Guishuang came in to mow the grass, and the locals definitely couldn't beat it.

"This is easy to deal with, don't worry." Li You waved his hand and said, "There is no need to worry too much about the Western Regions, the people of Liangzhou will solve it by themselves."

Liu Bei looked at Li You strangely. Li You was quite cautious and prudent. To be able to say this meant that he really looked down on those people who came in from Guishuang.

"Because the Western Regions were managed by Liangzhou governor in the past." Jia Xu explained from the side, "Recently, when I was young, Liangzhou governor Meng Bolang brought Liangzhou people and Shule people to work in Shule. In fact, Liangzhou people often fight Wai Hu, because there are opponents to fight, at least it means that this year they will not worry about being blamed."

"Meng Bolang?" Liu Bei recalled for a while, and he remembered who this was. This is Meng Da's biological father. This person's reputation is not very good, but his ability is not bad.

After all, in ancient times, those who crossed 3,000 kilometers to fight against opponents and were able to retreat were all masters. Although Meng Tuo did not win this time, he only besieged the opponent's Zhenzhong City for more than 40 days and was not defeated. It is a symbol of the weakening of the Han Dynasty's dominance in the Western Regions to a certain limit, but in fact, they traveled more than 3,000 kilometers to beat people and surrounded their opponents, but they did not break the city, which is already very powerful.

In addition, many records have proved that Shule was standing behind Guishuang at that time, and Guishuang hooked up with Guishuang, and Meng Tuo didn't beat him down, so it was not too bad.

The problem is that at that point in time, the Han Dynasty was actually quite weak, and they ran more than 3,000 kilometers to beat people. Liangzhou did not feel that there was any problem. The problem.

"In fact, the people in Liangzhou have some problems with their reputation. You know the environment there, lack of water and food." Li You sighed and said, "So it would be better to go out to fight, although the Western Regions are far away. , it’s okay for Liangzhou people to run over there to suppress them.”

In fact, it is no longer a simple suppression, but a very complicated reason, so complicated that Li You is too embarrassed to say, because the boundary markers in Liangzhou are fake boundary markers, and Liangzhou people went to the Western Regions to become officials, pretending that they are from Liangzhou The situation is not unheard of.

By the way, this is also why when Sansha quit Yongzhou, he was canonized as Wuji Captain, because this official position was the official position Dong Zhuo once held, and more importantly, when Dong Zhuo was the Wuji Captain, he was stationed in Che Shiguo.

Do you think it is a modern way to garrison troops abroad and station them in the capitals of other countries? No, not at all, at least during the Han Dynasty, the governor of Liangzhou really didn't think that I arranged a school lieutenant next to your capital, and your family helped me raise 2,000 people, and it would be a problem to defend your country.

Liangzhou people themselves don't think there is a problem, because Liangzhou's grain industry is really rubbish, so it's better to go to the Western Regions to be an uncle, at least go to the Western Regions, the Western Regions distribute grain and grass, and the governor of Liangzhou will be used as a resettlement population. Stable elements make trouble.

However, after Sima Lang took over the Western Regions, the days when Liangzhou people ate food and grass from the Western Regions were over. Although Chen Xi didn't bother to collect taxes from Liangzhou people, and didn't expect Liangzhou people to farm, Liangzhou just served as a reserve army for training. But such a day is not good.

There is a kind of mentality called, feel good, eat state subsidies, how can you eat other people's home, plus the Qiang people are gone, there is no need to fight, and the Western Regions don't rebel, the Liangzhou people are already a little bit sluggish Yes, although I am still actively joining the army recently, it is obvious that some motivation is lacking.

"Oh, that's it, it's just that, will it really be in time?" Liu Bei said worriedly, "If Fu Ward finds an old road in Congling and enters Xinzhou, will Liangzhou's support be in time?"

"Of course I can." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, don't look at the short legs of the Xiliang cavalry, they are not slow to march long distances, and the road has been repaired now.

"That's fine." Liu Bei didn't think there was anything wrong with people from Liangzhou doing this. After all, in other states, military service was at most two months a year, and the captain would just try it out. I heard that Liangzhou was doing training all year round. , basically no farming.

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, is Liangzhou not farming, but only growing cotton, linseed, and some drought-tolerant plants, is it really all right?" Liu Bei said worriedly.

"No problem. Every year, the grain transported by the canal from Yongzhou is sent overland to the counties in Liangzhou. It's actually quite good." Chen Xi said after a moment of silence.

Chen Xi originally planned to set up some villages in Liangzhou, but later gave up. Liangzhou's farming really involves a lot of investment and little output. It's better to transport grain, anyway, the price of grain is now a fake grain price, which is the result of official leveling.

Chen Xi is now sincerely using Liangzhou as the core weight for leveling grain prices. The entire Liangzhou depends entirely on commodity grain, and the local army is fully engaged in military service. Speaking of which, the problem is quite big, but with the reorganization of the Liufu Canal in Yongzhou and the completion of the Chenghan Expressway, it is actually quite good for Liangzhou to be so messy.

Two grain-producing lands, one barracks for milk, is actually not a big problem, and it is relatively easy to manage. As for the disadvantage, I am afraid that under the training of unlimited military service, the combat effectiveness of Liangzhou people will be outrageous. In fact, the military service of the whole people is the largest The biggest advantage, and the biggest disadvantage is this.

Because military service is required every year, and in accordance with national regulations, long weapons, cavalry, and chariot training are carried out. From the age of twenty to fifty-six, one meter six is ​​considered disabled, so you don't need to perform military service. The result of this is The fighting power of ordinary people will gradually change.

In addition, if ordinary people have the opportunity to see blood, after decades, even if they do not join a fixed legion, their combat effectiveness will be abnormal. For example, at the end of Emperor Wu's dynasty, Liu Ju launched Chang'an West City without soldiers. Tens of thousands of people worked together with the Jianzhang battalion led by the prime minister and the Chang'an Northern Army for five days and five nights...

The reason for the final loss was that the people found out that the prince rebelled and Emperor Wu was still alive, not that the Jianzhang camp and the northern army defeated the people.

So this is the abnormality of the conscription system. You have no idea what level of combat effectiveness the tens of millions of people across the country have achieved after decades of training. Maybe the so-called elite backbone you have been relying on is really fighting and organizing. Not much better than the militia.

To put it simply, if the Han Dynasty still maintains the conscription system during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there will be a hell of a situation, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Northern Army School led by Huang Fusong will not be significantly different from that of ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers. difference.

It’s just that the conscription system began to be abolished gradually after such a mourning problem occurred. In the era of Liu Xiu, it was completely abolished and changed to recruiting soldiers. Then it was picked up again in the Yuanfeng Dynasty, because the conscription system was true. can fight.

In fact, if you look at Beigui, you will know that Beigui is a proper conscription system, plus a national military service system, so it is a regular army that is recruited by individuals. In fact, this is because Beigui's conscription system is not perfect, and it is replaced by the Emperor Wu era. , Ordinary people, after the prince issued the equipment, they were able to ride with Jianzhang, and the Northern Army was tough, so there was really no need to fight.

"You just have to know it in your heart." Liu Bei nodded. Although he really felt that the loss of such transportation was quite large, Chen Xi didn't think so, so that's fine.

"In fact, the manpower and material resources wasted in transporting grain are much smaller than the manpower and material resources wasted in growing grain for Liangzhou people, and it can also allow Liangzhou people to train with peace of mind. I don't know why. Liangzhou people may really be born able Fight." Chen Xi said with a smile as if he understood Liu Bei's thoughts.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, he really didn't understand this.

"I'll send an official document to Liangzhou in the future, asking each county to transfer 5,000 people to train in Xinzhou, so the problem will be solved." Li You said calmly.

"This is tens of thousands of troops." Liu Bei asked after pondering for a while.

"They don't work, they're just training. If they change places, they'll be considered as serving." Li You said with a gentle expression, and Chen Xi had nothing to say.

"Okay, just watch it. Anyway, don't let people from Guishuang come in. The terrain in Congling is too complicated, and there are not many crossings." Liu Bei warned very seriously, with a defensive tone.
