“No, no!”
Yun Zheng still shook his head, "Although I am not talented, I can see the disadvantages of doing this!"
"More than 100,000 soldiers gathered here. Just the supply is a big problem!"
"They could have been resupplied in nearby cities. If they were all transferred to Shuofang for training, how long would the supply line have to be?"
"Winter has arrived in Shuobei. How much manpower and financial resources will be wasted on such a long supply line?"
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, supplying more than 100,000 people is a big problem.
He dared to take over this matter and was happy to take it over.
But the prerequisite is that the supply line must be guaranteed!
If we can't get supplies, everything is bullshit.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and thoughtful. I admire you!"
...
...
Wei Wenzhong praised him first, then said with a smile: "I have already thought of what your Highness is worried about! I have my own solution."
"What is the solution?"
Yun Zheng frowned and asked.
Wei Wenzhong smiled and said, "I have already thought about it. When the soldiers from each division come to Shuofang, they will be accompanied by enough supplies to support each division for two months!"
"From now on, every two months, you can send soldiers from each division to each city to escort the headquarters' supplies back."
"After these field soldiers complete their training, they will basically be responsible for escorting food supplies. This move is actually a kind of training, allowing them to quickly familiarize themselves with escorting food supplies and other matters."
Looking at Wei Wenzhong's smiling face, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curse him as an old fox in his heart.
It seems that this birdman is determined to force all the Tian soldiers onto himself!
Do you want Tian Bing to bankrupt you?
That’s a nice thought!
"I still feel it is inappropriate."
Yun Zheng frowned, "It's not appropriate to stockpile more than 100,000 troops in a city like Shuofang, right?"
He wanted to agree immediately.
However, he couldn't agree to it yet.
He knew in his heart that the more he refused, the more Wei Wenzhong would throw those Tian soldiers to him!
He wants to make this matter more solid!
The best thing would be to get some benefits from Wei Wenzhong!
It's not easy to be the sixth in front of him, the sixth prince!
"right!"
Shen Luoyan immediately nodded in agreement: "More than a hundred thousand troops are stockpiled around Shuofang City. Let alone training, I'm afraid it's hard to even deploy them, right?"
"Your Majesty and Princess are worrying too much."
Wei Wenzhong shook his head and smiled, "How many of these field soldiers are capable of fighting? In fact, we all know that after eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only about 20,000 to 30,000 people who can be trained."
Shen Luoyan choked slightly and was speechless for a moment.
Yes!
More than a hundred thousand field soldiers may sound like a lot, but not many of them actually need to be trained.
If a war really breaks out, the old, weak, sick and disabled may be more useful than civilian laborers.
Moreover, the commanders of the various field soldiers must have eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled before training them.
They did the same thing themselves!
It is indeed not acceptable to refuse with this reason.
"That being said, I am afraid that the abilities of my subordinates are limited and they cannot train so many people!"
Yun Zheng started to argue with Wei Wenzhong again.
"Your Majesty, there are capable people under your command!"
Wei Wenzhong said with a smile: "Besides, this is just a drill, not a march or a battle, why would it require such great abilities?"
Yun Zheng frowned and spoke again: "But many of them don't even have complete armor!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Wei Wenzhong smiled and said, "I have received news that the imperial court has prepared 30,000 troops to come to Shuobei. They will also escort a large amount of armor and supplies this time! Once the armor arrives, I will give priority to replenishing the armor of the field soldiers who are undergoing training on the prince's side!"
Oh shit!
This birdman is really well prepared!
Even this reason has been blocked by myself.
Yun Zheng frowned again and looked at Wei Wenzhong with a puzzled look, "General, do you have any opinion about this king?"
"Why do you say that, my lord?"
Wei Wenzhong asked in a confused manner.
"Let's not talk in secret."
Yun Zheng looked at Wei Wenzhong quietly, "Are you unwilling to see me improve the food for these soldiers in this camp? You force so many soldiers on me, hoping that these soldiers will bankrupt me?"
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
Wei Wenzhong said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty is willing to spend money to improve the food for the soldiers. I admire you very much! If Your Majesty wants to cut expenses, I will definitely have nothing to say! Whether to improve the food for these soldiers is entirely up to Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Wei Wenzhong laughed in his heart.
Overt conspiracy!
Yun Zheng can use open tactics, so why can’t he?
It’s not like the imperial court didn’t provide supplies to these farmers.
If he wants to continue improving the food, then let him continue!
If he is afraid of being bankrupted by eating out, then he shouldn't improve the food for these soldiers!
When the time comes, he can just find a reason to transfer the Tian soldiers assigned to him!
I am the commander of the Northern Army!
Yun Zheng has no right to play these little tricks in the army!
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "If I don't take over these Tian soldiers, what can you do?"
"Your Majesty, this is a military order!"
Wei Wenzhong said solemnly: "Although the prince is of noble status, I told him when I first met him that once he enters the military camp, he must obey orders!"
"Military orders?"
Yun Zheng frowned, "I suspect you are targeting me!"
"Your Majesty is joking."
Wei Wenzhong shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty did not have the ability, how could I dare to hand over these more than 100,000 field soldiers to Your Majesty for training? Moreover, I have no choice but to do so."
Yun Zheng smiled, "Tell me, how did you get so frustrated?"
Wei Wenzhong raised his eyes slightly and said sternly: "Since Beihuan dared to betray their promise, how could they not know that our dynasty has the will to fight? Beihuan will not wait until all our troops gather in Shuobei before passively defending!"
"As long as the ice on the Baishui River is thick enough for horses to run, Beihuan may launch an attack at any time!"
"Although the combat power of these Tian soldiers is limited, there are still more than 100,000 of them!"
"Concentrating these Tian soldiers in Shuofang for training can also greatly strengthen the defense of our army's left wing!"
As Yun Zheng expected, Wei Wenzhong also knew that Beihuan would not passively defend.
The reason he gave was indeed very sufficient.
It was so convincing that neither Yun Zheng nor Shen Luoyan could refute it.
Seeing that Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan were silent, Wei Wenzhong said, "If Your Majesty suspects that I am targeting you, you can send someone to report to His Majesty! If His Majesty wants to punish me, I will have no complaints!"
"Really?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "So, I have to take over these Tian soldiers?"
"I was also forced to do this, I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Wei Wenzhong looked at Yun Zheng apologetically, "In addition, Shuofang has accumulated more than 100,000 field soldiers, and its defense force is already very strong! I will transfer the current garrison in the city to Tianhu City to assist in the defense, so as to strengthen our army's defense on the right wing. The important task of guarding Shuofang will be temporarily handed over to the prince! When the elite troops transferred by the court arrive, I will send others to assist the prince in guarding Shuofang!"
