Chapter 931: Expanding Pojun (Second update)

Yizhou, Chengdu City.

Chengdu has undergone great changes over a period of time.

In the past, Chengdu was the hinterland of Shu, and because the mountains and rivers in Shu were dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Liu Zhang was not very careful in repairing the outer wall of Chengdu.

But Kou Feng was different. The sharpness of Chu State did not allow the city walls to be even a little bit dilapidated. Therefore, since Kou Feng was named queen.

The outer wall of Chengdu City was completely renewed.

This is a change from the city walls. This is even more so in terms of prosperity. Kou Feng was the queen and used Zhengdu to govern Shu County and developed the well salt in Shu.

And a series of projects that can be developed have created a certain degree of prosperity. In addition, Chengdu has further flourished due to the capital's relocation to the west and the entry of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Although there is still a little gap compared to Xiangyang where Liu Biao and Kou Feng have successively governed, the gap is no longer big.

In the end, the local people were also benefiting from the local people. They all received stability, and the entry of the powerful Chu State made Shu extremely stable.

Therefore, the pedestrians on the road are basically smiling.

The Palace of Chu King, in a side hall.

Kou Feng summoned Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Jiang Wan to discuss the major event.

Because it was not a formal occasion, Kou Feng dressed more casually, but he could not hide the aura of dominating the world. During this period, Kou Feng had already summoned all his ministers to court in the name of the emperor.

Review memorials and issue edicts.

This momentum has been accumulated bit by bit.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Jiang Wan and others did not change much. Zhang Song was still the same and his appearance was not good. Fa Zheng was relatively weak, while Jiang Wan was very imposing.

"I received the news that Gongsun Kang Yingzhao became the General of the Cavalry and led his family to migrate into Yecheng. The Yan Kingdom is over." Kou Feng sighed and said.

Gongsun Kang, I thought it was still a chess piece that I could use, but I didn’t expect it to be so useless. Zhang Xiu alone was dealt with.

"Since Lu Xun captured the four counties of Han and established Yanzhou, Liaodong has been extremely destructive, and Gongsun Kang could not even sustain his food. He was no longer in the plan, so Your Majesty did not need to care too much." Jiang Wan persuaded after hearing this.

"Mr. Situ said very much. Now it is the real Warring States Period. Only three forces are competing for the world, Yongliang, Wei, and Chu."

Fa Zheng nodded, agreeing very much.

"Yes." Kou Fengben just sighed and didn't care much. After listening to the two of them's persuasion, he immediately put away his thoughts and turned to focus on the current situation.

For the general trend, it may be that the north and the south. The Chu State in the south is an independent country, while the Liang State in the north, Qin State and Wei State are an alliance that jointly respects Emperor Xian of Han.

However, if the division is more detailed, that is, to distinguish the northern forces as the State of Chu, it can divide the three forces.

Liang State and Qin State are a force, lying in the north of Chu State. If Kou Feng wants to get the land of Yongliang, he must kill them. It is also the first obstacle on Kou Feng's road to unification of the world.

Only by eliminating these two countries can we compete with Cao Cao.

So Fa Zheng said that there are three forces today.

"I took the year name Xingba, of course, to revitalize hegemony. Hegemony is to conquer. In the first year of Xingba, there must be no war. I plan to raise troops to attack Ma Teng at the end of the year. How is the situation of food and supplies now?" Kou Feng asked Jiang Wan after pondering.

The State of Chu has always been a war machine. The soldiers of the State of Chu are all elite soldiers who can adapt to the battles every year, so there is no possibility of war-weariness.

The Chu State was very strong, not only the national treasury reserves, but also the same was true for food. Jingzhou and Shuzhong were all places with high grain yields.

As for weapons, Kou Feng was in the vast south, and it was not very difficult to produce weapons, and the rest of the baggage troops were the same. Kou Feng asked Jiang Wan, just wanted to make sure.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, the weapons and supplies are prepared. In addition, the grain was quickly transported to Hanzhong because of the wheelbarrow. Now the food accumulated in Hanzhong is enough for 200,000 troops in March." Jiang Wan was very familiar with these and quickly answered.

"Two hundred thousand troops consumed for three months." Kou Feng nodded after hearing this. Although it was a little less, there was still time. Kou Feng's goal was to accumulate food for 200,000 troops to consume for two or three years.

On the one hand, it is to prepare for a long-term war, and on the other hand, it is also to prepare for a series of problems that may arise after sending troops to the north. For example, war will definitely lead to disaster victims.

If the war lasts for more than one year, a large amount of food is needed. Kou Feng is very kind to the Han people.

"Where is the army?" There is nothing wrong with food and supplies. The next step is naturally the army. Kou Feng turned around and asked the right way.

At present, Fa is the leader of the Chinese army and is the nominal commander of the imperial guards.

"After the Battle of the Southern Expedition, the casualties caused by the accident have been replenished. In ten months, you can completely form an army." Fa Zheng also knew his job well and answered quickly.

"Um."

Kou Feng nodded to express his satisfaction. Although the last southern expedition was not much, there were always losses. Now it can be quickly replenished. On the one hand, it is due to the large population in Shu, and on the other hand, it is also the efforts of Fa Zheng and others.

Currently, the elites gathered around Kou Feng are all elites, and Fa Zheng is the military and represents combat power. Jiang Wan is a civil servant who is in charge of the mobilization of supplies in the rear, as well as some soft forces, etc.

Zhang Song can be said to be a counselor and comes up with ideas.

These three people combined with Kou Feng represent the highest will of the entire Chu State. What the four people discussed was the major event to conquer the world.

The current Chu State can be said to be a clockwork machine that is ready to start at any time.

Just as Kou Feng and others were discussing major events, a guard walked in.

"Your Majesty, the general of the army is looking for a visit outside." The guard reported.

"Chen Da?" Kou Feng was stunned when he heard this. Chen Da was a foreign general, guarding the city. He was not a wise man like Fazheng. He was rarely summoned to the palace, let alone the palace to meet him.

I'm afraid something is going to happen.

Kou Feng guessed in his heart, and he was even more slow on his face, and immediately said, "Please come in."

"No." The guard Yingnuo said, and immediately turned around and walked out. Not long after, Chen Da walked in from outside. Seeing the situation in the side hall, Chen Da was stunned.

He did ask to see Kou Feng for something, but he didn't expect that there were so many people there.

"Your Majesty." After being stunned, Chen Da immediately saluted Kou Feng.

"No gifts. Sit." Kou Feng raised his hand, then pointed to the empty seat next to him and said.

"No." Chen Dayingnuo said and sat down.

"What's the point of finding someone if you don't guard the camp?" Kou Feng asked with a smile.

"Report to Your Majesty, I want to request the expansion of the Po Army." Chen Da raised his fist at Kou Feng and explained his purpose.

"Pojun."

Whether it was Kou Feng, Jiang Wan, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, his eyes flashed and he became solemn. Pojun was the top-notch army in the State of Chu, although there were only one battalion of eight hundred people.

But the combat power is worth ten thousand people.

The most rare thing is that in terms of number of people, it can be used on the blade. For example, two armies with similar numbers and ability meet in the wilderness, and the stalemate cannot be reached.

If these eight hundred Pojuns are added, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

Of course, the more such an army, the better. But for a long time, there were only 800 people in the Pojun. That was because when the Pojun was first established, Kou Feng was still very poor, with little money, little territory, little army, and a small population.

To feed 800 people, you have to give a certain amount of meals for each meal. The best treatment and the most special training. Money is one aspect, and candidates are also the other aspect.

The various reasons were softened, and the number of the Po Army was only 800. Later, Kou Feng's power expanded, but also because of the expansion.

Kou Feng also stagnated with the expansion of Pojun. He was used to it. Pojun had only 800 people. Until today, Chen Da proposed it.

Kou Feng realized that it was time for Pojun to expand. His population was nearly 10 million, with hundreds of thousands of armors, and the top-notch army was only 800.

It's so pitifully few.

Just like Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, there are about 50,000 people all year round.

According to Po Jun's treatment, it is a bit difficult to expand to 50,000 people sharply, but it can be considered if it expands ten times or reaches 10,000 people.

"How much is your dear plan to expand?" Kou Feng immediately made a decision after pondering and asked.

"There is still seven thousand people." Chen Da replied. Regarding the number and salary issues, Chen Da had already made a draft before entering the city.

"Seven thousand people?" Kou Feng frowned when he heard this, which was difficult to understand.

"There are still 200 people in the Shen'an arm camp." Seeing Kou Feng's doubts, Chen Da explained: "The Shen'an arm camp was established because the king had not many troops, and it was an army used in special areas. However, with the powerful army of Chu, the 200 people have no effect. In addition, there are crossbow soldiers, the Shen'an arm camp has been weakened. Therefore, the last general had already trained the Shen'an arm camp in the training method of Pojun a long time ago. Now it has achieved great results. There is no problem with the two hundred people in the Shen'an arm being incorporated into the Pojun. In this way, the Pojun will be one thousand people. In addition, seven thousand is exactly ten times the expansion, reaching eight thousand people."

"Yes." Kou Feng immediately eliminated his doubts when he heard this. He also believed that what Chen Da said was reasonable and that the Divine Arm Camp was indeed unnecessary. Although this was a special team created by Huang Zhong.

However, the emergence of the crossbow soldiers replaced the purpose of this special team. Merger was a matter of nature.

"Pojun not only needs good food, but also needs sufficient food and salary. Can we afford to support eight thousand people?" Kou Feng had only this question left in his heart, and he turned his head and asked Jiang Wan.

Food is important, and food is also important. Pojun is called the most expensive army of Chu, and it is not without foundation. Pojun must have military achievements in every battle.

He received a large number of rewards, the most common of which were women. The captured alien women or some orphans were the first choices of Po Jun.

It means that a Pojun may have to support a few women and many descendants. The food and salary must be high. Finally, there will be pensions for death in battle.

Raising eight thousand people is estimated to be equal to twenty or to thirty thousand cavalrymen.

Kou Feng was rich and powerful, and he believed that Chu could afford it. But after all, he did not understand the finances of Chu, so he asked Jiang Wan.
