Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 875 Conquest of Qin

"Okay, Li Mou did a good job!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but patted his thigh and exclaimed.

"You're just taking selfies of your own thighs, why are you taking pictures of mine!" Gao Guiying couldn't help but scolded.

"Uh" Zhang Shun glanced awkwardly at Li Sanniang who was arranging her clothes next to him, and quickly explained, "I accidentally took the wrong photo, wrong photo!"

Li Sanniang already knew what his virtues were, but she wasn't really angry.

She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is Zhang Sheng happy today?"

Although Zhang Shun was lustful in the past, at least she had never seen him behave in such a frivolous manner. From this, it can be seen that Zhang Shun was very excited and excited.

"I'm really happy!" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "There is a saying that it's like having a stuck in your throat. Now that you've been stuck on it for three or four months, the 'hidden' in Tongguan has finally been taken out. Can you not be happy?"

"What is Kun?" Li Sanniang asked in a low voice after being silent for a long time.

"鲲? "鲲" is the fishbone!" Zhang Shun explained with a smile.

"Oh!" Li Sanniang suddenly understood and praised, "Zhang Sheng, you know so much!"

"Of course!" Zhang Shun replied with an air of dignity, as if he knew everything.

Gao Guiying looked at these two people like idiots, asking and answering questions, as if they had practiced it thousands of times.

She couldn't help feeling both contempt and jealousy: Damn, I was fed a mouthful of dog food by my man in front of me, I don't want to live anymore!

Zhang Shun stood up, looking like a guest who had just eaten at the inn, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, Sanniang!"

"Oh, then go ahead!" Li Sanniang didn't even get up, she just packed up the bed.

As soon as Zhang Shun came out of the room, he said to Gao Guiying: "Pass my order to quickly summon Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, Song Xiance, Zhao Yutou and Hong Niang to discuss matters!"

"Red Lady?" Gao Guiying hesitated.

"She has been in confinement for a while, and she still needs to attend some important things!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

Although Madame Hong had some temper because of Li Sanniang's appointment, she wouldn't be beaten to death with a stick.

It would be too petty to fire her from the ranks of important ministers just because of her little temper.

Not long after, Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, Song Xiance and Zhao Yutou arrived one after another, and then they saw the red lady wrapped up tightly and walking in a little vain.

Zhang Shun quickly went up to help her and helped her to his side.

The red lady sniffed and asked in a low voice, a little unhappy: "Where did you go just now?"

Isn’t this why the pot should be lifted if it is not opened? Zhang Shun chuckled and did not dare to say anything.

"Death sign!" The red lady secretly pinched the flesh of his waist with her hands and twisted it. Zhang Shun's face was expressionless, as if nothing happened.

Everyone sat down respectively, and Zhang Shun smiled and said: "I wonder if everyone has got the news? Chen Changzhen and Li Mou did a good job this time. They finally broke through Tongguan. The original plan of seizing Guanzhong to look down on the world can be implemented!"

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!" Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this, and hurriedly said congratulations.

"We are all our own people, why should we be polite?" Zhang Shun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's pass it on to everyone. Let's see what Li Mou is capable of first. Then, we will all discuss what we plan to do in the future!"

The red lady couldn't help but feel a little happy when she heard Li Mou's name.

It turned out that this man was originally a general under the command of "Running General" Li Zicheng, but he had no choice but to follow Zhang Shun when he eloped. After all, he is considered a member of the Red Lady's faction. Now that he has made military exploits, he is also honored!

Not long after, everyone had finished reading. Zhang Shenyan heard this and was the first to remind: "The soldiers of the Western Expedition are no more than the three battalions of Cao Wenzhao, Chen Changzhen and Li You. The total number is only 9,000. Compared with the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers under the command of Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, There is no obvious advantage in comparison. I think we should increase our troops in time to attack Shaanxi!"

"This is a valid argument!" Zhang Shun concluded, "It's just that how many people do you think are needed to capture Shaanxi?"

"This" everyone murmured for a long time, and finally the red lady said honestly, "I'm afraid it's not 100,000, but 80,000 or 90,000!"

Not to mention 100,000 troops, the rebels were now tied together hand and foot, and there were only over 50,000 troops. How could he conjure up so many troops and horses with him?

"What should we do?" Zhang Shun asked.

Everyone knew that this was Zhang Shun's test, but they didn't know how to deal with it. How could they respond to him?

After a long while, Lu Weiqi finally said tentatively: "My lord previously said the strategy of 'eat one, pick one up, and watch one'."

"Today, the 'eat one' is Henan Prefecture, and the 'take one' is Nanyang Prefecture, both have been realized. Only the 'see one' land of Qin and Shaanxi has not yet been included in the rebel army's bag."

"In my opinion, it can be divided into three steps, and it should be done according to the law!"

"The first step is to send Chen Changzhen and others to follow the plan of 'Peng Yue harasses Chu' and harass the Qin Dynasty, making it impossible for the court to live in peace and unable to deal with the rebels with all its strength;"

"The second step of the rebel army took the opportunity to recruit troops and expand the army, train soldiers, build weapons and armor, and prepare food and grass to wait for the opportunity;"

"The third step is to mobilize our elite troops stationed in Nanyang, Ruzhou, and Zhengbian, in order to gather 100,000 troops and attack Qin!"

"Okay, this is a good strategy!" Zhang Shun nodded. It's a good thing that his central ministers have learned to think. "It's just that Mr. Lu speculates how long it will take for the rebel army to gather these 100,000 troops, and how many weapons it will need. Armor and food?”

"I am afraid that the food will be no less than one and a half million dan, and the weapons and armor cannot be purchased without one million taels of silver, and it will take more than half a year!"

"Regardless of whether these can be realized or not, under the rule of the rebel army, it is even more necessary for men to fight and women to lose to have a chance!" Before Lu Weiqi finished speaking, Zhang added by the way.

"It's true what my lord said!" Lu Weiqi couldn't help but said a little shyly.

At first, Zhuge Liang was very effective in governing Shu. When Liu Chan presented his surrender, the Shu region "sent Li Hu, the Minister of Shu, to deliver the records of the people, with 280,000 households, 940,000 men and women, and 102,000 armored soldiers." Thousands, 40,000 officials."

In other words, the well-governed Shu region at that time had a population of 280,000 households and supported 102,000 soldiers and 40,000 officials.

According to the yellow book records, the three places Zhang Shun currently controls, Henan Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture and Ruzhou, have a population of 67,210 households, 67,870 households and 10,000 households respectively. Twenty households, totaling 145,200 households.

Even if they concealed something, the rebels now had no time to conduct a population census. Not to mention that even if the population were doubled, it would still only be the same as the population of Shu.

Although both Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi are rare talents, I am afraid that their governance abilities are much inferior to those of the famous Wuhou Zhuge Liang.

How could the rebel army squeeze out 100,000 elite soldiers within half a year from a population of 140,000?

Not to mention Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi couldn't do it, Zhang Shun and Zhuge Liang still couldn't do it!

Even if they can barely get enough heads, the baggage and organization and management of these 100,000 people can directly consume and collapse the two prefectures and one state.

Lu Weiqi and Zhang Shenyan were also experienced in political history and were familiar with history. How could they not know that the rebel army was now relying on these two prefectures and one state to barely feed 50,000 troops, which was already at its limit. How could this strategy be implemented?

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. They are still helpless and can only look at Zhang Shun helplessly.

Damn it, it seems that we need to recruit more talents. How many nails can we make if we are made of iron?

Zhang Shun slapped his forehead in pain, and then realized that his current staff team still had shortcomings that needed to be filled urgently!

I'm really sorry, everyone, I got mixed up in what I wrote before, and then I discovered that the general under Chen Changzhen was Li Mou. No wonder the writing doesn't match the character setting. Fortunately, I found out after reading the outline that it had been changed back.

Li Mou was historically one of the generals under Li Zicheng, and his abilities and experience were sufficient, which is in line with my original setting. The author accidentally wrote Li You, who had just earned a wife from Lu Xiangsheng's family. The character's personality and experience are completely inconsistent. I hereby apologize to everyone!
