Chapter 300 Unequal Needs

Uh, the chapter name is wrong, but the content is right.

…………

When the first snow fell from the sky in winter, the last batch of envoys arrived in Xiami.They were the envoys of the Zhang family from Xiliang to the Liang Kingdom, but they did not go through the Shijie and Zhao Kingdom borders. They entered Guanzhong and then walked along the Lingqu Canal line, entered the Li family's Chenghan territory and then transferred to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Finally, they took the Yangtze River to Xuzhou and went up. It took nearly eight days to arrive on land.

There is a snow season in Qingzhou in winter, which is a kind of weather where snow and rain fall together, which makes the weather not only cold but also freezing, and the roads everywhere become extremely muddy.

Not fighting in winter is a very correct thing, even if the body is tossed a little, it will catch the wind and cold.

Wind-cold is actually a kind of cold. In modern society, it would be better to drink some granules or take some quick-acting medicines.In the era of extreme lack of medicinal materials, a cold is not a minor illness. Basically, you have to rely on your own physical fitness to endure it, resulting in a runny nose, causing throat inflammation, and then turning into a fever or even a high fever. If you survive it, you will survive it. It must be dead.

"This kind of city has completely turned into a strong city. Not only is the main city strong, but there are as many as four sub-cities around it!"

Xie Ai is the envoy of the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family. He is an extremely gentle man, but not many people know that he has led the army to fight against the invasion of Shijie's Zhao army several times, and he has won many battles.He is from Dunhuang, and he can be regarded as a true frontier fortress. He has entered the officialdom with his own talent, but he has done more work as a civilian leader in combat. However, this is also in line with the pursuit of today's scribes, farming and reading, and wearing armor in battle. , both civil and military.

Jiang Gan should be said to be the first envoy to come to Xiami. He witnessed the repeated expansion of Xiami, saw the rise of sub-cities that looked extremely majestic one after another, and saw one army after another coming from the ground. Come elsewhere, and the army will leave again.

"Before we came to release secrets, we landed from Jiangdu, and saw that the Han army and civilians over there wantonly rebuilt the city and erected water fortresses." Xie Ai was actually confused and shocked that the Han army had so many ships. attitude: "Is Qingzhou really that rich?"

One thing to be really aware of is that any Han army that has been assembled in Xiami, they have at least one metal weapon in their hands, and you can even see a large number of armor-piercing soldiers. Most of them are in leather armor, and many are wearing iron armor.

Then, as Xie Ai who came from Xiliang, he had to wonder, what kind of treasure was found during the rise of the Han tribe, or did they capture a large number of craftsmen and find iron ore in the first place?

"I don't really know. I just know that Mr. Liu had a lot of soldiers from the beginning, and he never lacked armor and equipment." Jiang Gan envied anyone who was rich. Before they entered Guanzhong, they were poor. No improvement: "Comparatively speaking, it is very difficult for us to provide weapons for [-] to [-] soldiers, not to mention wearing armor. Isn't it?"

Zhang's Liang country has been established for a long time, but it was located in a border county from the beginning, and it is absolutely incomparable with the hinterland of the Central Plains in terms of economy and population.If it weren't for Xiliang's rich warriors, it would be difficult to persevere in defending against the invasion many times with the barren land. Even with such repeated casualties, there are surprisingly many soldiers, causing the entire Zhang Liang country to be troubled by the population base.

"How many troops are there in the Han?" Xie Ai wanted to know this very much, because the entire Zhang Liang Kingdom had a total of only [-] standing soldiers. The emergency call-up should be able to gather [-] to [-] troops, and any more would hurt the country. .He said: "I saw at least [-] people in Xiami alone. I heard that there are soldiers and horses in Pingshou and Hanting, and even Guanggu City?"

how to say?Jiang Gan is a bit clearer about how many Han troops there are. For example, he knows that the field elite of the Han army will not exceed 20.But there is a very big problem, that is, if the auxiliary soldiers in the Han army are placed in other forces, how can they be regarded as county soldiers? algorithm?
"We just need to know that the Han army has the ability to take the initiative to attack." Jiang Gan looked deeply at Xie Ai, and said softly: "We need them to take the initiative to send troops!"

Xie Ai agreed with this point, but why did Liu Yan need to take the initiative to send troops?It wasn't Ran Min or Zhang Jun who opened the mouth, and then Liu Yan sent troops out of the way!
"Dayi, haven't they been clamoring to protect the Miao descendants of the same ethnic group?" Jiang Gan licked his lips: "That's why they have to send troops."

Xie Ai didn’t answer the words, righteousness is a fig leaf, shed blood in order to gain more people’s support, when necessary, you can lift the fig leaf, let others sacrifice and bleed, and just throw it away when you don’t need it.

Everyone thinks that they have righteousness. For example, Shijie is not guaranteeing their own hegemony. They kill anyone who is not a Jie tribe, which belongs to the righteousness of the Jie tribe. On the contrary, the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, and Hun tribes...no one has it. Your own righteousness?Just look at which camp you belong to, then you will have your own righteousness.

There is an absolute reason for Xie Ai not to speak. The entire Zhang Liang Kingdom is in the same camp as Ran Min because of needs, not because of how good the relationship between the two parties is, or because they agree with each other's ideas.Xie Ai couldn't accept Jiang Gan's words, just because Ran Min had lost the righteousness belonging to Ran Min's group when Ran Min occupied part of Guanzhong and immediately declared himself king.

"No matter what, we need to let the Han tribe send troops." Jiang Gan is a smart man, and he no longer said anything righteous: "There are nearly 30 Zhao troops outside Tongguan, and nearly [-] outside Xiaoguan. If the two passes If we are breached, the Zhao army will flood into the pass, and we will certainly be wiped out, but we will also face hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops when the Liang army is introduced."

Yes, just because of need, so they need to find a way together, whether it is cheating, or other means, in short, both Ran's Qin State and Zhang's Liang State need Liu Yan to provoke Shi Hu, if they can get Shi Hu's attention The power transfer from Guanzhong to Qingzhou is really perfect!
Here comes the question, why did Liu Yan send troops?Or to put it another way, why would you sacrifice your blood for your so-called allies... or for your allies who have tricked you several times in a row, when you could cultivate your health and well-being?

"They have the ability to send troops." Xie Ai pointed this out first, and then said: "What price can we pay to make the Han troops send troops?"

"Support them to establish a country, whether it is called Qi or Han." Jiang Gan knew that his only bargaining chip was this. He gritted his teeth and said, "It is actually the best to be called Han!"

Xie Ai understood in a second that once Liu Yan established the country as a Han, he would be almost extinct from the world. Once this big pit is dug, it does not know how many corpses will be needed to fill it.
