Chapter 485
It can be said that it is a long way from White Horse City to Mingjing City.
Coupled with the bad weather, the wind and snow along the way hindered.
Wait until the urgent report arrives at Mirror City day and night.
Twelve days have passed.
After reading the battle report sent from thousands of miles away.
Luo Ji, who had just made another big profit just now, instantly lost the joy in his heart.
"boom!"
The palm of his hand slapped heavily on his desk, and the dull sound echoed in the council hall.
It attracted the attention of the guards and Lu Yang.
Looking at Luo Ji with a gloomy face.
Any fool knows that something must have happened.
After thinking about it for a while in Lu Yang's heart, he finally took a deep breath, and then bite the bullet...
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
"See for yourself."
While speaking, Luo Ji directly slapped the emergency report on He Liang's body.
He Liang, who received the urgent report, hurried to Lu Yang's desk and handed the urgent report to him.
When Lu Yang took a look, his expression changed.
For a while, I didn't know what to say.
Because the content of this emergency report not only involves political affairs, but also involves military affairs!
If the two sides cannot reach a consensus, it is impossible to negotiate a result.
"He Liang, summon Guo Jia and Zhou Yi into the hall to discuss matters!"
The audience hall outside is the outer hall, and the government hall at the back is the inner hall.
The seats on the left and right under Luo Ji's throne in the current council hall have long been occupied.
The left is the civil service seat and the right is the military officer seat.
After Guo Jia and Zhou Yi arrived, they naturally sat on the right side.
Among the civilian seats on the left, only Lu Yang, who is an assistant officer, is currently eligible to enter the inner hall.
He motioned for He Liang to pass the urgent report to Guo Jia and Zhou Yi for circulation.
After reading it, the faces of the two undoubtedly sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Guo Jia, Zhou Yi, what do you two think?"
Facing Luo Ji's question, the two exchanged glances before Guo Jia spoke.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the things mentioned in this urgent report, Your Majesty should be worried about those big tribes who should have stayed in the depths of the grasslands honestly. After migrating to the periphery, they were forced to unite for their livelihoods and set their sights on our world. Civilized grain transport team."
"According to General Brigude's guess, if several major tribes join forces, plus some small tribes that are attached to them, I am afraid that at least 5,000 cavalry teams can be assembled."
When this number was mentioned, everyone's eyelids jumped obviously.
This cavalry is not a cabbage.
Under Luo Ji's careful management over the years, they managed to gather 3,000 cavalry from the three grassland cities of the Myriad Realms Civilization.
Two thousand cavalry commanders, Bai Ze and Brigude, each led 1,500 cavalry.
Then add Luo Cheng's five hundred cavalry on the side of Mingjing City, and the small cavalry in several other cities.
All together it is more than 4,000 rides.
As a result, the big tribes that lived in the depths of the grassland all year round, Burigude actually said that if they united, there would be at least 5,000 cavalry.
Especially at least!
In terms of the number of cavalry units, he was crushed at once.
In the face of this situation, Luo Ji's mood is good.
Because this means that once the other party unites, even if he transfers all the cavalry in his Wanjie civilization to escort the food and grass, he may not be able to protect the stability.
Luo Ji didn't even want to think about the casualties!
As for mobilizing infantry.
This is icy and snowy, not to mention the temperature, just to say the snow.
The snow on the ground has piled up enough to bury a person's legs.
Relying on the four long legs of war horses, the cavalry can also carry grain through the snow.
But the two legs of the infantry are no longer inefficient, but not at all.
"The food sent to the three grassland cities must be transported, but in this climate environment where the infantry cannot be mobilized, the number of cavalry of the other party still exceeds ours..."
Having said that, Guo Jia has already felt a clear headache.
After rationalizing his thoughts, he silently raised two fingers.
"There are only two ways Wei Chen can think of at the moment, but neither of them is a good strategy."
"Say it."
After getting Luo Ji's permission, Guo Jia slowly spoke...
"The first way is to change the grain transportation route and divide the troops to transport grain at the same time."
"The large-scale grain transport team is too noisy, and it is impossible not to be discovered."
"Under this premise, the number of people will be reduced to two or three hundred riders as a team, and the food delivery route will be changed at the same time."
"Although it greatly affects the efficiency of grain transport, this method can at least make the movement of the grain transport team more concealed and relatively safe."
"At the same time, even if a grain transportation team has bad luck and is discovered by the grassland people, the loss will not be too heavy."
After talking about the first solution, Guo Jia took a breath, took a sip of hot tea, and at the same time confirmed Luo Ji's reaction.
I saw Luo Ji, who was sitting on the main seat at this time, with a look of thought on his face, obviously thinking about what Guo Jia said just now.
"The decline in efficiency will cause many people in the three grassland cities to starve to death due to lack of food. Moreover, if two or three hundred cavalry teams encounter those large tribes of grassland people, I am afraid they have no chance of winning, even some The risk of being mobbed."
Luo Ji saw the flaws of this method very thoroughly.
As Guo Jia said at the beginning, this is indeed not a good strategy, it can only be said to be a way.
Rubbing his brows vigorously, Luo Ji couldn't make up his mind for the time being, because transporting food in batches was equivalent to dispersing power, and there was a risk of being defeated one by one.
"What's the second way?"
"The second method is even more inappropriate."
Before saying that method, Guo Jia decisively took a dose of vaccination, and then continued to say...
"The second method of Wei Chen is to temporarily abandon the three grassland cities and transfer all the people and resources in the cities to the Central Plains."
As soon as this method was revealed, it immediately shocked everyone in the Hall of State Administration.
Even Lu Yang, who had been sitting there without saying a word, couldn't sit still at this moment.
Before Guo Jia and Luo Ji were talking about military matters, he didn't understand it, so naturally he wouldn't interrupt casually.
But this gave up the three prairie cities and transferred all the people and resources in the cities to the Central Plains.
That's about government affairs.
And it’s still a terrifying government affair with a huge workload!
He couldn't pretend he didn't hear this.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks this is not a good idea!"
While speaking, Lu Yang stood up directly.
"The total population of the three prairie cities is nearly 200,000 people! Does the transfer of all of them mean that they can be done?"
"And now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, how should the people who died of severe cold, disease, and starvation along the way be comforted during the transfer?"
"What if you are attacked by horse thieves halfway through, and there are a lot of casualties?"
"There is no doubt that in the process, the people will accumulate a lot of dissatisfaction."
"Even if the transfer is successful, how should the nearly 200,000 people be resettled?"
"How to calculate the huge loss of abandoning three cities at the same time?"
"Have you ever considered these questions, Mr. Guo?!"
