The yard of the third entrance hall of the Luodu General Administration in Luoyang City is brightly lit, and under the eaves and on the side of the corridor are covered with red lanterns, driving away the hazy night.

The young and beautiful maid in a silk dress held a plate of wine and delicacies, and quickly walked through the hall and the veranda like bees and butterflies.

In the huge hall and the wing halls on both sides, hundreds of Hu generals and Han officials sat in a mixed manner, with cups and plates on the tables and cups and cups and drinks, some beat the fists and yelling, some throwing silver pots with feather arrows for fun, and several Hu generals took off their robes and wrapped them around their waists, ran to the yard to wrestle and have fun, and it was noisy.

Many Hu generals were drunk and blushed, drunk and opened their chests and exposed their arms, hugged the young and beautiful maid on their thighs like a rabbit catching a little rabbit.

Of course, Wululie, the king of Zhennan Sect, was present today. Even the rude Hu generals were somewhat restrained and did not act boldly and directly took off the thin dresses of the maids and played with them.

However, they have experienced a lot of this kind of scene.

What they talked about most was that some of the generals and officials were "lucky" enough to escort them????????????????????????????????? The children of the Yueting royal family and their female relatives went to Mobei and headed north all the way north. They stopped and rested in the big city. The situation of the Yueting imperial concubine and princess accompanying the banquet was really unforgettable.

When I was drunk, there was a Hu general who participated in the escort that year and couldn't help but show off:

"Princess of the Southern Dynasty, the princess is really tender. Her hand feels like touching the softest silk in the world. Her skin is as white as a horse's milk. I can't help but want to take a few sips..."

Many Hu generals were also keen on this matter and became very interested, and they were making noise that the more detailed the man was, the better.

Cao Shixiong, Meng Jian, Meng Ping and others were all Hanmins in Yunshuo and had no sense of identity with Da Yue, so they joined Yueting for a short time. At this time, they were not moved by hearing this, and they even agreed with many Hu generals drinking and making fun of each other.

Yue Hailou, Zhong Changqing and others were more or less embarrassed.

Yuehailou bowed to Wululie, the king of Zhennan, and said, "I was summoned by Your Highness and rushed to Luoyang in a hurry. I feel tired at this time and cannot drink with Your Highness. Please forgive me..."

Someone noticed the real reason why Yue Hailou wanted to leave at this time, frowned slightly and felt unhappy. However, Wululie did not think it was offended and said with a smile:

“I don’t like drinking too much.”

Wululie then said to several generals and commanders around him:

"It is rare for the generals and officials of the various palaces to gather together. I am afraid that this wine may not stop even if it is all night long. Don't disturb their interest, and talk in another place..."

Most generals from Chihu like to drink from top to bottom; the newly ascended Khan Kuosa sometimes even stayed for several days without stopping, and it was even more common for all night.

But Wululie didn't like to drink hard, and often advised his elder brother to pay attention to moderation, but today's rare occasion did not want to discourage the interests of the generals and officials.

The generals and officials continued to drink in the hall. He and Muchi, Meng Tulie, Wuge, Yue Hailou, Cao Shixiong, Xiao Yunqing, Zhong Changqing, Meng Jian, Meng Ping and other generals moved to the flower hall for discussion.

In the hall of Journey to the West Garden, except for Zhong Changqing and Meng Jian who came with Yuehai Tower, Meng Ping and others had a weak qualification. The others were all important figures in the Zhennan Zong Palace. As a general of the Wanhu-level rank under the command of the King Ku Sigu of Jingyan Zong, Wu Ge was the plenipotent representative who came to discuss taking over the defense of Guanzhong.

Yue Hailou no longer held it and spoke directly to Wululie: "The time to attack Jingxiang should not be delayed anymore. Even if you cannot win quickly, you cannot give it the opportunity to increase your ambition..."

"Aren't you planning to wait for the autumn to come, and the water situation of yours will not be so fierce, so you gather troops to attack Ru Cai. Why are you still having to worry about this at this time?"

Wu Ge, the deputy commander of the military commander of Guanzhong, was a playmate who grew up with Wululie, the king of Zhennanzong. In recent years, he fought many times and was separated from other generals from the royal palace of Zhennanzong. Now he is rarely gathered in Heluo. Before he could drink a good drink, Yue Hailou didn't like to listen to the romantic affairs of the concubines and princess of Yueting, everyone had to accompany him to come out, and he felt a little unhappy.

Besides, everyone has discussed the attack on Jingxiang in their correspondence letters. Wang Ting also specifically asked them to focus their strategic focus on attacking the remnant Yue in the middle.

Without letting everyone drink it well, Yue Hailou couldn't wait to mention this matter, and anyone else would be upset.

"..." Although Yue Hailou was highly regarded by Wululie to serve as the general manager of the military commander of the western Beijing military capital, his nominal position was higher than Uge, he knew that he was not Chihu's direct subordinate and could not argue with Uge, so he sat awkwardly aside.

????????????????????? Cao Shixiong did not dare to take care of his eyes at this time, and said to Ululie:

"According to the past, it may still be insufficient; we cannot expect to achieve success in one battle..."

The old Khan passed away, and the inheritance of the new Khan throne had some twists and turns, but the Chihu still made a smooth transition overall.

In recent years, Chihu not only swept across the Western Regions countries (parents), but also completely conquered the two most powerful opponents of the past, Khitan and Dangxiang, and the military front can be said to have reached its peak.

This will inevitably lead to a considerable number of Red Guardians who are arrogant and cherish the arrogance of their hands.

Even though the offensives launched against the East and West Qinling Mountains last autumn and winter did not finally break through the Qinling Mountains’ defense line and entered Sichuan and Sichuan, and even lost many soldiers and generals, this did not suppress the optimism of Chihu’s monarch and ministers.

On the one hand, when he advanced into the depths of the Qinling Mountains, he encountered sniper attacks. The dangerous terrain was rare in the past. On the other hand, the Chihu fought south and north for many years, so he could not even be unable to bear this setback.

More importantly, they easily seized all the cities north of the Qinling Mountains, completely controlled Longyou, Guanzhong and other places, and achieved the most core strategic goal of the offensive last fall and winter.

What's wrong with this?

After the new Emperor Yueting ascended the throne, although he successfully pacified the Dongting Lake bandits, on the one hand, the instability in Huaidong caused by the Zheng family was not eliminated for a while. On the other hand, the disagreement between Jingxiang and Yueting was almost an open secret in the Southern Dynasties.

Therefore, he was confident in leading the Chihu Iron Cavalry to destroy the Southern Dynasty and drink the Chihu generals such as Nanhai, Wuge, and Mengtulie.

However, Yue Hailou and Cao Shixiong fought with Chushan over the years and suffered so much loss. They led the Heluo troops directly confronted Chushan, but they were far less optimistic than Wuge, Mengtulie and others.

At this time, Chihu had reached its peak in his military strength. He conquered Khitan, Dangxiang, Hehuai, Heluo, Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei and the Western Regions countries. There were as many as 20 million young and strong men who could sign for conquering. In addition to elite troops who could throw whips and break the current, they could sign for conquering young and strong men to the battlefield continuously.

There were indeed many internal contradictions within the Southern Dynasty, and it was not that everything would be fine because of the inability to pacify the Jinghu gang of Dingdong. It was even more severely divided than when Emperor Jianji was reigned.

However, Yuehailou, Cao Shixiong was very clear in his mind that the problem they had to face was that Jingxiang was too strong, and it was far more than Xu Huai and the generals of Chushan who could fight well. It was as simple as mastering tens of thousands of elite troops under his command.

In addition to being good at fighting, Xu Huai was a rare martial arts man, and also had a large number of elite soldiers and generals who followed the battles in the south and north, Jingxiang had amazing potential in various aspects such as mobilization of troops, preparation of troops, city construction, water conservancy and settlement, and even iron making tools.

In this regard, Cao Shixiong and Yue Hailou have the same views.

Perhaps in the early days of the rise of Tongbai Mountain, these things made them not feel deeply. However, when Yue Hailou suffered an extremely violent defeat in Ruying, he deeply felt that the situation at that time was already different, and many clues had emerged.

The superficial reason for Ru Ying's defeat seemed to be that Xu Huai was good at using strange strategies, as if he was repeating the strategy of rushing to Taiyuan for thousands of miles.

In the early days, Xu Huai also contacted the remaining defeated soldiers who insisted on resisting in Hehuai. He infiltrated the north of Yingshui and launched a surprise attack on Bianliang, and pulled their troops on a large scale, so that they could not understand what the strategic intention of the Southern Dynasty was. They wanted to rely on the Ruying and Ying Rivers to intercept Xu Huai in Hehuai and encircle and annihilate him, and eventually defeated by the flooding plan.

After the defeat, Yue Hailou also repeatedly reflected on it, but found that the decision he made at that time was not a big problem, and the most important points were:

First, at that time, the Chushan Army built a large number of solid and lightweight fine iron shield vehicles for actual combat, which made the silence of the moon formation reappear on the battlefield for hundreds of years. It was also the silence of the moon formation with strong mobility. This made Xu Huai lead his troops to evacuate from Bianliang and rely on the river channel to move south, and he was not afraid of the encirclement and interception of the Chihu superior cavalry in the plains along the river.

Secondly, the Chushan Army had the ability to build a batch of high-quality warships in a short period of time, which caused Xu Huai to lead the retreating troops in the south to stop north of the Yingshui River. They did not have the corresponding naval force to relied on the hydraulic power of the navy to surround and annihilate the fastest speed. At that time, everyone advocated delaying until the cold winter of frozen rivers and launching the final general attack.

The third is that the Chushan Army dug up the river before the river was frozen and lured Ru water to the north, which was completely beyond their imagination.

Even at this time, the craftsmen with extremely high attainments in astronomy, water conservancy, etc., had not figured out how Chushan had already calculated the correct mountain-drilling drainage point.

Cao Shixiong killed Yang Lin in Ruyang and won the Ruyang victory, but then failed to occupy the entire territory of Ruzhou. This battle also allowed them to appreciate the extremely powerful mobilization ability of Chushan.

Xu Huai occupied Rucai and ruled only 600,000 to 700,000 people. However, after the fall of Ruyang, Xu Huai mobilized a total of 100,000 troops to sneak into the defense lines of Liang County, Xiangcheng, Zhaoling and other places to resist the pace of attacking Rucai in the west and Heluo.

Although Chu Shan's mobilization was temporary and the total number of people lasted for three months, this was enough to be shocking.

After Chihu unified the south of the desert and north of the desert, mobilized 160,000 troops to conquer the Khitans with less than two million people, which made the Khitans feel trembling. This was mainly because Chihu and the conquered Hu males grew up on horseback since childhood, and were able to ride and shoot with good cavalry.

What was the mobilization proportion of Chihu at that time? What was the mobilization proportion of Chushan after the Ruyang victory?
