War is the most expensive thing at any time.
In addition, Wei Yunyi directly summoned an army of 200,000 this time, which was a large number of people.
Although he had not yet seen the specific accounts, he could already foresee that a huge amount of money must have been spent just during the time it took to travel from the capital to Zhennan Pass.
After all, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, the soldiers must eat and drink well, and he did not choose to march quickly.
My father-in-law said that all the food and supplies for the next month's southern expedition have been prepared.
It seems to be just an understatement.
But there is no doubt about it.
The process is very complicated. After all, when an army goes out to fight, all aspects must be arranged.
Of course, Wei Yunyi knew very well that after the successful implementation of the land-based tax system, the court's finances increased significantly.
Perhaps a month's supply of food and fodder for an army of 200,000 would not be enough to cause serious damage to the current Wei Dynasty.
But the good thing is, everything is just beginning.
Therefore, his next plan was to continue spending time in Zhennan Pass. He believed that it would not be easy for his father-in-law to raise another month's worth of food and fodder.
After all, the court's expenses were not limited to the southern expedition, but also included the northern border, military pay for other prefectures, and the salaries of officials.
More importantly, the Grand Canal and Weizhidao projects are also underway, which also constitute the major part.
So what if there is a lot more tax?
Wei Yunyi just didn't believe it.
Doing this myself will not allow the Wei Dynasty's finances to reach rock bottom.
Anyway, it's just a matter of wasting time, which is very simple, and he can also use this time to improve his strength safely and steadily.
I don’t know when there will be any news from the young Taoist priest. Without elixirs, it will be very difficult to improve in a short period of time.
However, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, just let Wang Jin handle it.
After a pause, Wei Yunyi stopped thinking and began to improve his strength with peace of mind.
Since the last breakthrough.
The effect of the practice during this period was not very great.
Yes, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to improve. Besides, how long has it been since he broke through?
Therefore, Wei Yunyi felt that there was no need to be too anxious. It would be better to spend more time and effort to consolidate his own realm and improve slowly. Once the foundation was no problem, it would be smoother to rely on the system or elixirs, right?
Immediately, he sat cross-legged and began to practice according to the Emperor's Dragon Transformation Sutra.
For him, tonight was just like any other night, nothing was different.
As for other things, just ignore them.
Nothing unexpected will happen anyway.
Just wait quietly until the settlement day comes.
However, Wei Yunyi felt that tonight was normal, but it was not the case for others.
Because of Lu An's order, all units of the Zhennan Pass army were prepared to prevent possible sudden enemy attacks.
Of course, Lu An did not tell the exact news that Baiyue would be dispatched in the next few days, but for the generals of each department, orders must be obeyed and military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Since the order has been given by the superiors, they must be carried out seriously.
Even for some generals, they had not fought a major battle for a long time and felt very depressed.
Who can blame the good news coming out of the northern border recently, which completely defeated the grassland army?
Many people are well aware that the soldiers in the northern border will definitely be rewarded by the court.
But what about the southern border? Apart from passive defense, there is nothing else to do.
They also want to achieve great things and win battles.
Just at this time, Lu An issued an order to all departments to pay attention, which made many generals feel that perhaps the opportunity had come and they must seize it.
In this way, time passed bit by bit until the second half of the night, which was close to the hour of Yin.
At the south gate of Zhennan Pass, Wang Lin led his trusted men to the closed city gate.
He had been working under Lu An for some time, and naturally cultivated some people he trusted. Now, it was time to use them.
Originally, in the previous plan, Wang Lin didn't need to do anything. He just had to wait for the Baiyue army to appear and then meet them in the city.
But he believed that tonight the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp was leading Lu An and two important officials of the court to purge the court, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The barbarian leader also led his army here in person.
Therefore, Wang Lin felt that he had to do something. After all, although Zhennan Pass was not a strong pass, it had a large number of defenders.
There are 200,000 troops stationed in various places in the city. What if the people led by the Barbarian Lord are unable to attack the city for a while and alarm the defenders?
Even though the Barbarian Lord was powerful, the Wei army was large, and since they were in Zhennan Pass, they would be in great danger. But if I were to open the city gates and welcome the Barbarian Lord's army in,
Then take them and rush to the palace where the Emperor of Wei lives. Wouldn't that save a lot of time?
Maybe we can capture the Emperor of Wei alive at the lowest cost, and then this war can be over.
As for whether his identity will be exposed...
Wang Lin didn't care about this at all. He had earned Lu An's trust so that Baiyue could better deal with the Wei Dynasty. If this battle could capture the Wei emperor alive, it wouldn't matter whether he was exposed or not.
"Who?"
Just when Wang Lin and his men arrived at the city gate.
A patrolling team noticed it, and the leading military leader immediately drew his sword and stepped forward, but when he saw the person coming, he quickly put away his weapon, bowed slightly and said, "So it's the military advisor. Forgive my poor eyesight and for offending you."
