Chapter 495 Guarding the Railway
Wu Tian listened to Huarong's words, pondered for a while, and nodded: "Brother Huarong is very reasonable, that's fine. Dai Zong, you pass on two imperial edicts for me, one to Hu Yanzhuo who is stationed in the south, ordering him to lead the south. An army of 40 marched northward, entered the Liao land, guarded Yunhai City, and listened to Brother Chai Jin's dispatch at any time. Send it to Liangcheng and hand it over to Grand Master Wu Yong, who asked him to mobilize another million soldiers. At the same time, he ordered Brother Tang Long to create a bureau , step up to create weapons."

Dai Zong took down what Wu Tian said and stepped back to do it.

That night, Wu Tian summoned the generals of the three armies on the train, and told everyone Chai Jin's words with a serious face, and informed them of the content of the two imperial decrees. They have all been mobilized. In the country, except for the naval army led by Li Shilang who has combat experience, only the newly recruited soldiers from the Wu Yong brothers are left. They can maintain the domestic order of Liang, but it will be difficult to lead the troops. Therefore, I am here to issue an order to all brothers. Starting today, all brothers who command troops to go to war must be more careful and must not be careless. We have at least 240 troops in our hands. If there is any mistake Not to mention the heavy casualties, we don't have any extra soldiers who can go to the battlefield immediately."

The leader on the left, Wu Song, and the leader on the right, Xu Ning, both bowed their hands to Wu Tian with serious expressions, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be more careful and will never disappoint Your Majesty."

Wu Tian nodded and clapped his hands, Dai Zong came in with the map and spread it on the table and chairs.

This is a map of the tsarist state, which clearly marked the tsarist towns, major traffic routes, mountain and river terrain, as well as the areas occupied by the Liang state and where the tsarist army was stationed.

Below the map, there are also the status and family members of many famous nobles in the tsarist country.

Wu Tian pointed to the map and said: "Now, the tsarist army is mainly stationed in the central part and a small part of the eastern part near the central part. The central part is mountainous, with more than 50.00% of the forest area covered, and most of the people here are natives of the tsarist state. , It is very different from most of the foreign migrations in the eastern region, and their support for the tsarist regime is very high, so here we not only have to suffer from unfavorable terrain and unfamiliar troubles, but also it is difficult to open up a base here.”

"In addition, there is a more important and the biggest problem, that is, we have more than 170 million people advancing to the west, and the food and clothing and other materials we need are very huge. Although Liang Guo's reserves Money and food are enough to support the consumption of our 200 million army for ten years, but there is only one railway at the fastest to transport the army from the eastern region to the front, and that is the railway that transports the army from the middle road. Therefore, this railway is the lifeline of our army. Of course, other roads can also be transported, but they are far inferior to this railway in terms of time and quantity. Therefore, I need a general to guard this railway. I wonder who among you is willing to take this responsibility?"

After finishing speaking, Wu Tian glanced at the generals.

The two generals on the left and right have to command troops, so naturally there is no way to guard this railway.

As for Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, and Dai Zong, if they wanted to follow Wu Tian and lead the central army and the left and right armies, they couldn't stay behind to guard this road.

Apart from them, there are only some side generals and young generals, such as Liu Tang, Huang Xin and others.

Wu Tian glanced across their faces without stopping.

Guarding the railway is a very difficult task, not only to ensure the smooth transportation of food to the front line, but also to prevent the sneak attacks of the people in the central area of ​​the tsar.

This is simply a thankless job.

Wu Tian frowned slightly when he saw that the side generals and young generals were silent, it was embarrassing now.

Hua Rong saw Wu Tian's embarrassment, and looked at Liu Tang and Huang Xin.

This time the crusade against the Tsarist Kingdom, the two of them made the first contribution, and their rewards for meritorious deeds will definitely not be lost in the future.

At this moment, they are left here to guard the railway. Although there are few opportunities for meritorious deeds, being able to guard the railway is considered a great contribution.

Liu Tang and Huang Xin, seeing their old boss Hua Rong staring at them and winking at them from time to time, knew in their hearts that they were asked to take over this task.

The two of them glanced at each other and finally complied.

They stood up and bowed their hands to Wutian: "Your Majesty, the two ministers are willing to stay here to guard the railway."

Wu Tian saw that it was Liu Tang and Huang Xin who came out to ask for it, and he was even more happy. He walked over to help them both up, and said: "The two lovers have already made the first decision when they crusade against the Tsarist Kingdom. Gong, now he took the initiative and is willing to take on this resolute task. Well, I will seal you two now, Liu Tang will be Zhongyonghou, Zhenxi General, Cong Sanpin. Huang Xin will be Yiyonghou, Zhenxi Chief Lieutenant, It is the fourth grade."

Liu Tang and Huang Xin were very happy to hear that Wu Tian was the first to reward them. They both knelt in front of Wu Tian and kowtowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, your majesty. Even if you go all out, you must protect this road. .”

Wu Tian helped them up, patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "You two dear ministers, as long as you can guard this railway transportation line, after the tsarist state is eliminated, I will definitely seal your official positions."

Liu Tang and Huang Xin were even more delighted when they heard that there was still a possibility of being promoted to a higher rank, and they secretly rejoiced that they came out and took the initiative to take on the task of guarding the railway.

Seeing that both Liu Tang and Huang Xin had received heavy rewards, and that they would be promoted in the future, the rest of the generals and young generals were both envious and regretful.

The envy is that they have such a good opportunity, and the regret is that the opportunity has clearly landed on their heads just now, but they did not seize the opportunity.

"The generals who will guard the railway have been determined. The next step is how many people will stay here to ensure that they can guard this place?"

At this time, Wu Tian raised a new question.

The generals look at me and I look at you, but they don't know how to reply.

The tsarist army in the central region is now known to have 140 million people, but recently the tsarist has started recruiting again with the help of the Yaka family. It is estimated that millions of troops can be recruited, so there are as many as 240 million.

And they, in addition to staying in the eastern region, can directly mobilize 170 million troops, which is indeed small in number with the Tsarist Army, but they are elite and can still fight.

But now it has to be reduced from the 170 million horses. How much should be reduced to ensure that the railway can be defended and there will be enough strength to fight the tsarist army?

Wu Tian pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a suitable amount.
