The rise of the prince

Chapter 477 The Second Passage
Li Xingzhou had his own plans in his heart. He couldn't sit back and wait for the spring to start next year. In fact, he knew well that his position was different from that of the emperor. The emperor wanted the land of deep clouds, and he wanted to keep the people in Jiangzhou and the surrounding villages safe.

Once it is delayed until next year and the army sets off, Jiangzhou and Youyun cannot take care of it at the same time. The emperor will definitely not care about the life and death of this generation of people. This is the countermeasure he said.

Presumably in the Land of Nether Clouds, the suffering of tens of thousands of people is nothing at all.

The emperor doesn't care, the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty don't care, they have higher ideals, he just foresaw this situation, so Li Xingzhou became alert as soon as he heard that the black bandits were united, and began to train the army and recruit mules , determined to clean up the Black Bandits in winter.

But he never imagined that the emperor would come to Jiangzhou because he didn't know which muscle was wrong.

The emperor blocked it, but he was an envoy from the north of Beijing. He had the right to send troops. The emperor could stop it, but he needed an imperial edict. It only takes effect if it is stamped under the door. It makes sense that he is not resisting the decree. As long as it makes sense, he can argue for it.

As for the evil result, it is to offend the emperor.
If it is not a last resort, Li Xingzhou does not want to offend the emperor, he still wants to hang around here, besides, the empress and emperor are good to him, but he can't just watch tens of thousands of people die tragically for the emperor's grand plan .

The emperor may demote him, or dismiss him if it is serious, but in any case, the other end of the balance is the lives of tens of thousands of people
Some things, if he doesn't do them, everyone will do them. Li Xingzhou feels that he is unlucky, but he can't shirk it. Maybe it's his conscience, or maybe he is more civilized after a thousand years?But no matter what, he will send troops.

The only thing he can rely on is his knowledge, "Knowledge is power." Li Xingzhou reminded himself in a low voice.

Yes, knowledge is power, his most powerful power!

He only has a thousand men, among them, the five hundred troops in the forest are considered well-trained. Although they have not fought a big battle, they are at least reliable.

There are two hundred musketeers in the new army, and each musketeer carries three grenades, six artillery squads, and six artillery pieces, which are his main force.

The other 300 people belonged to the auxiliary soldiers, who were responsible for feeding horses, putting on armor and removing armor, escorting food and luggage, lighting fires and cooking and other sundries. There were about 50 people in total.

In fact, 300 logistics auxiliary troops are far from enough, and logistics supplies are always the most important in war.

The more he thought about it, he felt that it was necessary to recruit some people and expand the auxiliary army.

He couldn't help but think of those war histories in his mind, thinking that for reference, in Chinese history, there are actually historical records, not romantic dramas, and there are very, very few hearsay wars involving millions of people.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty and Jin Faliao, the soldiers of the whole country added up twice, and there were only 10,000+ troops in total.

However, the famous Battle of Changping was one of the few epic battles in which millions of people were invested before and after, and the data is very reliable.

The whole country of Zhao sent 45 troops, of which about 15 were regular troops with armor, and the other 30 were militiamen who were responsible for logistics supplies and could also go to the battlefield temporarily.

The Qin State sent more than 50 troops, which is one-tenth of the country's population. In the later period, the king of Qin personally recruited men over 15 years old to go to the battlefield.

In other words, according to this data, the population of Qin State is more than 500 million.

Among the people in Qin State, the regular army is also 10,000+, and the rest are militiamen. They are usually only responsible for transporting the army's supplies and food, and they will join the battlefield when they have to. This shows how difficult and important logistics is.

In the later period, when Bai Qi pitted and killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the State of Zhao, the regular army was basically wiped out, and all the people killed were militiamen.

Thinking of this battle, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but look towards the foot of the majestic Taihang Mountain in the north, and he couldn't help but hiss, it was there, a battle of millions of people.

Changping is at the source of Danshui, in the north of Jiangzhou, at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Unlike many people's impressions, in fact, the Changping War between Qin and Zhao was evenly matched at first, because both Qin and Zhao were the most powerful countries at that time.

Lian Po, a veteran of Zhao State, has a very foresight. He saw from the overall situation that the Qin army might take the Taihang way, so he retreated while fighting, retreating to the east of Danshui, and giving up a large area of ​​plains near Danshui. Qin Jun.

The Qin army was completely stuck in the east and west plains of Danshui, and could not advance an inch. In addition to the expedition, the Qin army wasted a lot, and the logistical supply was several times more difficult than that of Zhao, because Handan, the capital of Zhao, was very close to the front line of Lianpo.

This stalemate lasted for three months, and the logistical supplies made the two countries suffer, but it was obvious that Qin State was even more troubled, because they fought deep into the local territory, and the supply line was too long.

At this time, the famous Zhao Kuo came. Because of Qin's countermeasures, Zhao Guo's coach was changed from Lian Po to Zhao Kuo.

The first stop of Zhao Kuo's life is also the last battle. After being a young and vigorous general, he led his army to rush through Danshui. You must know that Lian Po retreated to Danshui Dong'an in the first place to prevent the Qin army from taking the Taixing way to outflank them. .

This is all right, Zhao Kuo rushed over very cooperatively, Qin Jun immediately took the Taihang Road to cut off the back of Zhao Jun, surrounded more than 40 Zhao Jun with better troops, and wiped out Zhao Jun in just two months.

Zhao Guoben was separated from the first dominant Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty also meant the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

You must know that the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period is definitely the number one hegemony. If you want to understand the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, but find it difficult to read the three fragments, then you can just understand the history of the State of Jin, because the history of the State of Jin is [-]% of the history of the State of Spring and Autumn, and almost everything has the shadow of the State of Jin.

Although there are three kingdoms divided into Han, Zhao, and Wei, each country is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, which shows how strong it is.

So Zhao Jun is also brave and good at fighting. He fought back and forth with Qin Jun in the early stage, and Qin Jun was also battered, but when Zhao Kuo came, more than 40 people disappeared in two months.
Can't help but think of a famous saying, that is, more than 5 pigs. Etc.

Then, even if there are more than 40 pigs, Qin Jun can't catch them in two months, and Zhao Jun is also brave and good at fighting.

What's more, it is still the era of cold weapons. The era of cold weapons is limited to conditions such as communication and command, and it is impossible to fight a large-scale war of annihilation.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous general Duan Jiong defeated the Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang. He fought for several years, and spent more than 180 battles, large and small. At a cost of 44 billion, he killed more than 8000 enemies and took more than [-] prisoners.

But under the command of Zhao Kuo, in two months, 45 soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom disappeared!So the command of Zhao Kuo is simply.
Bai Qi is indeed powerful, but it also depends on the cooperation of his peers.

The infamy of talking about military affairs on paper is actually nothing compared to Zhao Kuo's real mistakes.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzhou shook his head. This battle ruined the fortune of the powerful Zhao Kingdom at that time.

When he had time, he also wanted to visit Changping. After thinking about it, Li Xingzhou thought of the way of Taixing after being scrupulous by Lian Po and sending troops in vain.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, no, he remembered that Bai Qi seemed to come out with two broken soldiers, where did all the way come here?
He couldn't remember it at once, but the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Yes, he dispatched two routes of soldiers, and they all ended up at the end of Yangtou Mountain. The black bandits went north from the area around Yangtou Mountain. Many villages
What about the other one?Could it be another one?Where did Bai Qi go the other way when he dispatched surprise soldiers?

He hurried downstairs and walked towards the backyard
