Chapter 181 Within three years
"Okay, stop grinding and wash your face quickly."
Feng Yong drove Amei away, turned around, and was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that at some point, there was a person standing at the corner, not speaking, just looking at him quietly.
“Wenxuan scared me!” Feng Yong was so frightened that his heart beat faster. “Didn’t I tell you to go rest? Why are you standing here?”
Li Yi did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward, lowered his voice, and asked, "Brother, do you think the imperial court can pacify Nanzhong within three years?"
“How long have you been here and how much have you heard?”
Feng Yong had a slight cold sweat on his head, but he did not answer the question.
It's okay for Guan Ji to know about asking her maid to put her hair up but not letting her sleep with her. She can guess the reason, but if anyone else knows about it, it's not an ordinary shame.
Perhaps the Li Yi in front of him is thinking in his mind at this moment, does he have any hidden illness? Or something unspeakable?
Microsoft? Matsushita? Lenovo?
If this is really the case, how can you explain it?
There is no way to explain it!
"My little brother has been running around outside for a long time. He just took a shower. There are some things on his mind that he can't let go. If he doesn't tell his brother, he really feels uneasy, so he came here to look for him." Li Yi said a little apologetically, "Brother, I'm very worried. It was my younger brother who wanted to eavesdrop on purpose, but when I came over, my elder brother was comforting Mrs. Amei, so I didn't show up for fear of disturbing my elder brother."
Having been with Feng Yong for so long, Li Yi is also used to Feng Yong not only having to keep himself clean, but also asking those around him to be clean on a regular basis.
Feng Yong looked at Li Yi suspiciously. Do you mean that Amei came just when she was crying? I felt relieved when I saw that he looked like he had just taken a shower and changed his clothes. It seemed that he had not heard what he said before.
“Brother, do you think Nanzhong can be pacified within three years?”
Li Yi asked again, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about this issue.
"It will take three years to calm down." Feng Yong's tone was as relaxed as saying that the weather today is very good.
“Brother, how can you be so sure?” Li Yi seemed to be unusually persistent about this issue.
Because history has already proved it.
Feng Yong thought for a while and asked: "Wenxuan thinks, how many troops are needed to pacify Nanzhong?"
“It can range from 30,000 to 50,000. If it is less than 30,000, it will be difficult to pacify.”
Li Yi seemed to have considered this question for a long time and answered immediately.
“Let’s go inside and talk.” Feng Yong patted Li Yi on the shoulder.
30,000 to 50,000, this number is higher than later estimates. Later generations estimated that Zhuge Lao Yao used between 20,000 and 25,000 troops to pacify Nanzhong.
“If we use 30,000 troops, how long does it take for Wenxuan to pacify it?”
Enter Feng Yong's house and personally poured a bowl of water for Li Yi. After the two sat down separately, Feng Yong asked.
“It can take as long as two years or as short as one year.”
In fact, it only took Zhuge Laoyao more than half a year.
“What does Wenxuan think is the biggest difficulty in pacifying Nanzhong?”
“It’s difficult to travel and people’s hearts are hard to accept.”
After hearing this, Feng Yong shook his head slightly and smiled, "There have always been conflicts between the Han barbarians in South China, but this time it was a bit bigger. If it is pacified and the army moves over, it will be a matter of winning people's hearts. That will be a matter for the local officials behind. Let’s not discuss it if we have to worry about it.”
"As for the inconvenience of traveling, it is indeed a problem. However, I have also talked with the veterans who have retired from the battlefield in the mansion. I heard from them that the rebels in Nanzhong are mostly barbarians. They are indeed brave, but they are rarely brave. Iron weapons are usually made of bamboo and wood, isn’t that right?”
Li Yi nodded, "Those barbarians are mostly brave and unafraid of death. Fortunately, they are ignorant and do not know how to make siege equipment. It is difficult to attack the city, let alone make iron. Otherwise, how can you defend it with the strength of your troops?" Live in a city?"
"Although this road to Nanzhong is difficult to walk, as long as you proceed carefully, it will be no problem. Otherwise, how could General Fubo have conquered Jiaozhi? The biggest difficulty in pacifying Nanzhong, in my opinion, is how to mobilize enough troops. And how to raise food and fodder to support the army."
Why is it said that when the Han Dynasty was at its most powerful, one Han soldier could defeat five Hu soldiers? The reason lies in the advancement of technology. One holds a variety of sharp murder weapons in his hands and wears various iron and leather armors on his body. The other only wields wooden sticks and animal bones and charges with a howl. He is completely like Sam in the future. The sense of sight of an uncle hitting children around the world with various missiles.
In the battle to pacify Nanzhong, apart from Zhuge Laoyao and a group of second-generation officials and generals, there were a few more famous people who would be used to guard Nanzhong in the future.
However, none of the famous generals of the Shu Han Dynasty participated. In addition to having to consider the need for someone to help Adou calm down the situation, Nanzhong is not worthy of sending out all the big guys. That would be too derogatory to those who are fighting independently and do not even have a unified organization. Rebels.
Feng Yong nodded to the east and continued, "To pacify Nanzhong, we must also consider the east. After all, the rebels in Nanzhong have the support of Soochow. Now the Han Dynasty and Soochow are re-establishing friendship. When this is completed, If there is no more pressure from the east and the army marches into Nanzhong, those rebels will be nothing more than dogs to be slaughtered."
After listening to Feng Yong’s analysis, Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Feng Yong with admiration, and said: “Brother’s words coincide with what the adults said. I really admire him.”
What is there to admire about this? The Han army and the rebels are not on the same level in terms of weapons, command, or organization. The generation gap is too big, several times greater than the generation gap between Lao Mei and Sha Damu. As long as the logistics can keep up, Flat push is not a thing at all.
Li Yi looked at Feng Yong's calm expression, as if he just said a very ordinary thing, and he was even more impressed.
The rebellion in Nanzhong was originally started by the local powerful families.
As one of the big families in Nanzhong, the Li family firmly stood against the big families. In addition to being unwilling to betray the imperial court, the bigger reason was that their own family did not view this rebellion at all.
Although the Nanzhong Rebellion started when the late emperor died, there were already signs of it before. After the death of the late emperor, the Han Dynasty was in dire straits, and the chaos in Nanzhong was like adding fuel to the fire, making the crisis even more uncontrollable.
It’s not like the rebels didn’t send people to persuade them, they even brought Soochow lobbyists with them. However, instead of listening, the adults directly killed the people who came to show their loyalty and sent them to Jincheng to show that they were incompatible with the rebels.
Facts have proved that adults’ vision is still very accurate.
Soochow did not take the opportunity to attack, and the Cao thieves in the north were also blocked from Hanzhong. Now the situation is getting clearer. The rebels in Nanzhong have no way out. The day the prime minister frees up his hands, they will be destroyed. time.
Your Excellency, I estimate that within three to five years, Nanzhong will be established.
I never thought that Feng Mingwen would be even more bold. He said frankly that within three years, he would be more confident than the adults.
