Er, the chapter name is wrong, and the content is right.

When the first snow fell from the sky in winter, the last group of envoys arrived in Xiami. They were Zhang's diplomatic mission from Xiliang, but they didn't go to the boundary of the state of Zhao in Shijie. After entering Guanzhong, they took the first line of Lingqu, entered Li's Chenghan, and then transferred to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Finally, they took the Yangtze River to Xuzhou, and arrived on land after nearly eight days.
There will be a snow season in winter in Qingzhou. It is a weather of snow mixed with rain, which makes the weather not only cold but also cold, and the roads everywhere become extremely muddy.
It is a very correct thing not to fight in winter. No matter how good your body is, if you toss a little, you will catch wind 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 drugs. In the era of extreme lack of medicinal materials, a cold is not a minor disease. Basically, you have to rely on your own physical quality to boil hard, resulting in runny nose, throat inflammation, fever and even high fever. If you survive, you will survive. If you can't survive, you must die.
"This kind of city has completely become a solid city. Not only is the city strong, but there are as many as four sub cities around it!"
Xie AI is the envoy of Zhang's Liang state. He looks very gentle, but few people know that he led his army to resist the invasion of Shijie Zhao army several times and won many wars. He is a native of Dunhuang. He can be regarded as a real frontier fortress. He entered the officialdom with his own talent. He did more work under the leadership of civilians. However, this is also in line with the pursuit of today's literati. He cultivated and studied in his spare time and fought in battle in wartime. He is both literate and martial arts.
Jiang Gan should be said to be the first envoy to Xiami. He witnessed the repeated expansion of Xiami, saw one after another looking at the rise of incomparably majestic sub cities, and saw another army coming from elsewhere, and the army pulling away again.
"Before coming to Xiami, we landed from Jiangdu and saw that the Han Army and civilian men over there wantonly rebuilt the city and set up a water stronghold." Xie AI was confused and shocked that the Han army could have so many ships: "is Qingzhou really so rich?"
You should know that any Han Army that has assembled in Xiami is at least armed with a metal weapon. You can even see a large number of soldiers wearing armor. Most of them are leather armor, and many are wearing iron armor.
Then, as Xie AI from Xiliang, he had to wonder what treasures he found in the process of the rise of the Han Dynasty, or captured a large number of craftsmen and found iron ore at the beginning?
"I'm not sure. I only know that there were many warriors at the beginning of Duke Liu. He has never lacked military armour." Jiang Gan envied anyone who was rich. Before they entered Guanzhong, they were poor. After occupying some sites in Guanzhong, they didn't improve: "relatively speaking, it's very difficult for us to provide weapons for 20000 or 30000 soldiers, not to mention wearing armor. Isn't it?"
Zhang's Liang state has been in the country for a long time, but it was located in the border county at the beginning. It is absolutely no better than the hinterland of the Central Plains in terms of economy and population. If Xiliang were not rich in fierce men, it would be difficult to resist the invasion many times in the frontier and wasteland. Even so, there are surprisingly many soldiers and men who have suffered repeated casualties, causing the whole Zhang's Liang country to be distressed by the population base.
"How many troops are there in the Han Dynasty?" Xie AI wants to know this very much, because there are only 20000 standing soldiers in the whole Zhang Liang country. The emergency recruitment should be able to collect 50000 or 60000, and any more will hurt the foundation of the country. He said: "just in Xiami, I saw at least 70000. I heard that Pingshou and Han Pavilion, and even Guanggu city were covered with soldiers and horses?"
How to put it? Jiang Gan was clear about how many Han troops there were. For example, he knew that the field elite of the Han army would not exceed 50000, and the remaining auxiliary soldiers, slave soldiers, new attached troops and slave soldiers should add up to about 200000. However, 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 the level of county soldiers, and the slave army and the new auxiliary army also have considerable combat effectiveness. What kind of algorithm should it be?
"We just need to know that the Han Army has the ability to take the initiative." Jiang Gan looked at Xie AI deeply and whispered, "we need them to take the initiative to send troops!"
Xie AI agrees with this, but why does Liu Yan need to take the initiative to send troops? Ran min or Zhang Jun didn't speak, and then Liu Yan sent troops!
"Dayi, aren't they always shouting to protect the Miao people of the same ethnic group?" Jiang Gan licked his lips: "that's why they have to send troops."
Xie AI doesn't answer. Righteousness is a shame cloth. You can bleed in order to get more people's support. When you need it, you can raise the shame cloth and let others sacrifice and bleed. If you don't need it, you can discard it.
Everyone thinks they have great righteousness. For example, Shijie is not ensuring their hegemony. Killing any non Jie people is the great righteousness of the Jie people. On the contrary, Qiang, Di, Xianbei and Xiongnu... Who doesn't have their own great righteousness? Just depending on which camp you belong to, you will have your own righteousness.
Xie AI has an absolute reason not to speak. The whole Zhang Liangguo is in the same camp with ran min because of the need, not how good the feelings of both sides are, or agree with each other's ideas. Xie AI couldn't pick up Jiang Gan, just because ran min occupied part of Guanzhong and immediately became king. He had lost the great righteousness belonging to ran min group. On the contrary, Zhang Liangguo has been adhering to the great righteousness and fighting for the common survival of the Jin people.
"Anyway, we need Han troops." Jiang Gan is a wise man. He no longer says the general righteousness: "there are nearly 300000 Zhao troops outside Tongguan and nearly 100000 outside Xiaoguan. If the two passes are broken, Zhao troops will flow into the pass. Of course, we will be destroyed. Liang Junjie will also face hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops."
Yes, just because they need it, they need to find a way together, whether it's deception or other means. In short, Ran's Qin State and Zhang's Liang state need Liu Yan to provoke Shi Hu. It would be perfect if Shi Hu's attention could be transferred from Guanzhong to Qingzhou!
The question is, why did Liu Yan send troops? Or why should anyone, when he can cultivate and recuperate, go to the so-called allies... Or pit his allies several times in a row to shed blood and sacrifice?
"They have the ability to send troops." Xie AI first pointed out this, and then said, "what price can we pay to make the Han Army send troops?"
"Support them to establish their country, whether it is called Qi or Han." Jiang Gan knew that this was the only chip on his side. He gritted his teeth and said, "calling Han is actually the best!"
Xie AISI understands that once Liu yanliguo is called Han, he is almost cut off from the world. Once this big pit is dug, he doesn't know how many bones it takes to fill it.
