Chapter 805: Focus on me
Yangguan, a powerful pass for the former Great Qin Dynasty to curb the forces outside the pass.
Its existence means guarding against the army outside the pass, which is more meaningful than being the last line of defense for the invasion of the Northern Di.
The appointed Yangguan Guard will always be incompatible with the Protectorate of the Protectorate outside the Pass, and even have a grudge.
But now, Yangguan has become an important advance base for Beiting Protectorate to enter the pass. Almost all the important officials of the Beiting Protectorate also gathered at Yangguan.
This is the starting point for tens of thousands of troops and the supply point for tens of thousands of troops. In the entire rear, there are endless streams of carriages and horses transporting more supplies here every day.
Once the army is started, the daily consumption is astronomical.
Since the Battle of Yangguan last year, Xiao Changche has judged that Linghu Ye must take a single step to take large-scale military actions outside the pass, trying to determine the world with one battle.
The facts now are verifying Xiao Changche's original judgment one by one, and also prove that Xiao Changche's right to double the expansion of the army last year.
If Mao Daxian and his team followed the strategy of digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king, the Linghuye army was approaching the border and would inevitably be in a hurry outside the pass.
Expansion of the army is not just a matter of increasing the number of troops. It involves a systematic project, from the superficial expansion of the army organization to the deepest level of the military supply system and military expenditure, and all aspects of the entire government's operation.
Because it started early, the Beiting Protectorate now seems orderly and walks step by step extremely steadily.
In war, most of the time, we really fight economics and logistics.
When the Central Plains were strong in the past, they maintained strong military pressure on the outside of the pass, forcing all forces outside of the pass to bow to the Central Plains dynasty. The most important factor was its advantage in financial resources.
In the past, the nomadic peoples outside the pass had a strong seasonal nature in fighting. When to fight, when to put weight on livestock, when to honestly deliver livestock, there is time. If you miss these times, this year will be difficult.
The Central Plains dynasty, based on agriculture, raised a large number of standing troops and allocated production materials from various places to supply troops. The wealthy Central Plains dynasty would hold a large amount of food and salary to deal with the war.
When the Central Plains maintains strong pressure on the nomadic peoples all year round, even affecting production and life outside the pass, preventing them from fighting for many years, the outcome is self-evident.
However, since Li Daechui rose, he has paid great attention to the development of agriculture. Helan was originally an important granary for him. After he mastered the entire pass, the government system further promoted the development of agriculture.
There is no shortage of fertile land outside the pass,
What is lacking is the population, the stable production and living environment is lacking, agricultural technology is lacking, and means of production is lacking.
But in recent years, these things have been greatly improved.
A large amount of land has been reclaimed. Although the yield per mu is not as good as the mature land, its advantage lies in the large quantity, and the wide planting is the thin harvest.
In fact, with the help of old farmers with rich farming experience and a large number of agricultural technical officials in Helanyuan, with the blessing of the latest compost and fermentation technologies, the grain output outside the pass is really good.
It is precisely because of the efforts of the past few years, and Mao Daxian's desperate efforts to import food from the south in the past few years, that the Beiting Protectorate has the economic foundation for a great war.
In fact, Linghuye’s life is not better than Li Dachu.
Li Dachui was too weak in the past few years and finally made a little money, but he seemed very stretched to fill the past deficits while dealing with the big things in front of him.
Linghu Ye is trapped in the Central Plains in recent years due to frequent wars, family annexation, natural disasters and other factors, which also make financial resources extremely tight.
Both sides are actually half a dozen now, not very good. It is precisely because of this situation that Linghu Ye had to make a last try.
In the long run, Li Dachu's vision is definitely much better than Linghu Ye.
Not to mention Li Dachui's layout in the pass, just looking at the Beiting Protectorate now has an extremely stable rear that can provide him with endless war momentum, which is not something Linghu Ye can compare with.
Whether it is Shuzhong or Nanchu, Linghu Ye will be more and more sad in the future.
Therefore, it is justified to gather the strongest power now and defeat Li Dachu, the vicious tiger, has not yet grown a pair of wings.
Now it seems that Linghu Ye feels that he is still slightly stronger than Li Daechui.
But every day, the other party will become stronger.
For this battle, Linghu Ye did countless tasks, and even set out in person, using his credibility as a guarantee, tricking Na Wei into starting the war between Danyang and the Eight Towns of Jiangnan.
However, Linghu Ye forgot one thing, that is, Xiao Changche, who had fought under his command for nearly ten years, his keen intuition about war and Xiao Changche and Li Dachui's absolute control over the Beiting Protectorate outside the pass.
Although many people opposed it, when Li and Xiao made up their minds, the Beiting Protectorate's military expansion preparations were irreversible.

Now the curtain of the war is being unveiled bit by bit, and all the chips are about to be exposed to the sun.
"Now, from Boling to Shanggu and along Yuyang, small-scale teams of both sides penetrate and attack each other. The battles that break out every day cannot be counted. There are four battles of more than a thousand people, according to the data collected five days ago. We win and lose two!" Qian Jia said: "As time goes by, there are probably more and more such battles, and I don't know when and where it will cause large-scale investment from both sides. At present, we cannot confirm the direction of Linghuye's main attack."
At the battle preparation meeting, Xiao Changche has always been the main focus. After Qian Jia introduced the most basic situation during this period, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Changche's face.
"Why should we dance with Linghu Ye's baton?" Xiao Changche closed the file in front of him, glanced at the people in the room, and then fell on Li Dachu's face beside him.
Li Daechui smiled and nodded: "You should focus on me."
Xiao Changche nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the main thing. It's Linghuye who is anxious to fight us, not we are anxious to fight him!"
Mao Daxian coughed dryly and said, "You can't say that. You two protectors, with the preparations of our Beiting protectors, as the intensity as you are now, in three months, we will be exhausted."
"We know we can last for three months, but Linghu Ye doesn't know, and their financial situation is better than ours?" Xiao Changche sneered: "So my opinion is to shrink the front line and wait quietly for Linghu Ye to attack us. No matter how many times he comes, I will only wait for him all the way!"
Qian Jia looked through the file in his hand and said, "The two protectors, Chang Lei, launched the Southeast Battle, exceeding our expectations. Once Chang Lei succeeds, the overall situation in the world will change greatly. Overall, it will be unfavorable to us!"
"The battle in the southeast has not yet ended, and the outcome is unknown." Xiao Changche said lightly: "And in my opinion, Beiting is the root, the main trunk, and the south is the branches and leaves. The trunk should be the main trunk and the branches and leaves are supplemented! If the branches and leaves are dead, as long as the root system of the main trunk is not damaged, it can still grow again!"
Qian Jia coughed twice and turned his eyes to Li Dachu.
"What Xiao Dupu said is reasonable!" Li Dachui said without hesitation: "And I believe that the Southern Bureau has their own solution. In this battle, we only consider the duel with Linghu Ye, without considering other factors!"
"I understand!" Qian Jia said.
