I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 680 Xu Shu Zhuge Liang, Han Wudi

"Recruitment>

"Naturally." Liu Feng nodded without hesitation.

"General, at present the Han Dynasty is in difficulty, and the general should be aware of it." Xun Yu said with a wry smile and raised his fist.After a pause, he continued: "The cavalry lost a lot, so we need to recruit troops. Cao Cao sent cavalry to plunder Yuzhou, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with no food left. Soldiers who died in battle should be compensated, and those who have meritorious service should be rewarded. With Xiangyang, the foundation of Hanzhong is there, so I'm afraid it won't last long."

"What Shang Shuling said is true. I am afraid that it is not suitable to recruit soldiers at present." Fu Wan also said in advance. [

Jiang Wan didn't speak, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he didn't agree very much.

"Gold, silver, and food can be found. But soldiers and horses can't be trained overnight. The sooner they are trained, the sooner they can be at ease. Otherwise, if there is a big battle, they will be in a hurry." Liu Feng said indifferently.

Immediately, Liu Feng turned his head and looked around the crowd, and said: "Now the Han Dynasty has a population of about 300 million directly under its rule, and its influence spans Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou, and even a little Sili. Such a vast land, How many soldiers and horses are there? Zhao Yun in Hulao Pass, Wenpin in Xudu City, Gan Ning, Dong Cheng, Pang Tong in Hanzhong, Wang Wei, Lu Su in Xinye, Huang Zhong in Xiangyang, Jushou in Shouchun. The Nine Route Army, but Fifty-four thousand elite soldiers. Look at Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and hundreds of thousands of troops. Even Ma Teng and Han Sui have more than one hundred thousand. With such a vast land and such a large population, the number of troops is too small .”

Speaking of this, Liu Feng took a breath and continued: "This population and land are equal to flesh, while elite soldiers are bones. If the flesh is bloated and the bones are not fine, how can it support the whole body?"

"Even so, it can't support such a huge expenditure. It will take a year or two." Xun Yu frowned and said.

Xun Yu is not just a minister, he is very familiar with the state treasury and the situation in Xiangyang.Worry about financial problems.

"I can't bear children, I can't trap wolves. But I think it's just right to increase troops now." Liu Feng shook his head and said.

"Oh? How should I say it?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and asked.

"Cao Cao ordered the cavalry to loot all over the country. Even if hundreds of thousands of people were short of food, the imperial court had to mobilize countless grains from Xiangyang and Hanzhong to help the people. This made our national strength decline for a long time. This is Cao Cao's poisonous plan , He really succeeded. But why was Cao Cao able to succeed? Because our cavalry is not strong and capable. But this time, my son prepared a killer move against the cavalry. If Cao Cao comes again, he will definitely be overwhelmed Let's go. Moreover, in Yuzhou, hundreds of thousands of people were plundered by Cao Cao, and they hated Cao Cao to the bone. If the Han Dynasty ordered the conscription, there must be a gathering of followers, with high momentum. It is also very brave. In addition to what my father said, if we want to implement the system of filial piety, we must hold military power. Conscription, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Liu Feng took a deep breath and said.

"Oh, can the emperor fight against cavalry with infantry?"

"Can the general defeat Cao's cavalry again?"
