Chapter 2805: The kingdoms shake, chess players

How many troops did Daqin have after expanding its army?

This question has always troubled the nations, and although they have gone through many inquiries, they still do not have a definite answer.

First of all, Daqin's military expansion this time did not announce the specific number of military expansion as it did in the past.

Secondly, after the expansion of the army, there are a large number of recruit training camps, not to mention all over the country, and they are all hidden in deep mountains and old forests, making it too difficult to detect.

In the end, Daqin strengthened the arrest of domestic masters, causing heavy losses to the masters of various countries.

Although the countries do not know the specific military strength of the Great Qin, they guess that the Great Qin has at least a million troops. After all, a million is an astronomical figure, and it was even unthinkable in the past.

But this answer was completely overthrown after the Qin army divided into eight groups and dispatched 90 troops to attack the Central Plains.

After all, Daqin must have enough garrison forces. If 90 troops are dispatched to the Central Plains alone, then the total force of the country must exceed one million, at least 120 million, otherwise it will not be able to defend the vast local area.

The figure of 120 million is not a random guess of various countries, but a conclusion drawn after layers of analysis of the population, taxation, and grain production of Daqin and many other information.

Times have changed, and the cost of supporting the army is far greater than before.

Although Daqin is the overlord of the princes and has a lot of money, the cost is even greater, especially the three major projects. Although they are beneficial to the country and the people, they are also a gold-eating behemoth, which undoubtedly consumes a lot of financial resources, material resources and manpower of Daqin.

In addition to the three major projects, Daqin also has other large domestic expenditures, so the countries think that Daqin can support 120 million troops is the limit, but they have missed one point, that is, the sea trade is brought by Daqin. to great benefit.

It is also by relying on maritime trade that Daqin can take care of its own internal affairs and at the same time unscrupulously expand and support the army, but the countries know nothing about it.

It was not until the Sui State provoked the Great War in the Western Regions, and when the Great Qin sent troops to attack the Sui State while conquering the Central Plains, the countries realized that the Great Qin still had something to hide, but there must not be much hidden, and at most it could only be used to teach the Sui State a lesson. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to use it directly on the Central Plains battlefield?
However, when they received information from Liangzhou and learned that Daqin sent troops all the way on the surface, but in fact it was a three-way army attacking at the same time, even though the specific strength of Daqin's attack on the Sui Dynasty was still unknown, all countries were still manipulated by Daqin. I was stunned.

After all, if the troops used by the Great Qin to defeat the Sui were only [-], there would be no need to divide the troops into three groups. The division of troops would instead give the Sui a chance to defeat them one by one.

Therefore, since the Great Qin divided its troops into three ways to attack the Sui Dynasty, the total force must be more than 20, at least 30, or even [-].

If the army of the Sui Dynasty really had 30, then the total army of the Great Qin Dynasty was at least 150 million.

150 million, what an exaggerated number, just thinking about it will make people shudder, and even make people unable to resist.

After guessing the specific military strength of the Great Qin, the high-level leaders of the various countries realized that perhaps this was a trap from the very beginning, a trap carefully prepared by the Great Qin for the Sui Kingdom.

First, Great Qin deliberately concealed its military strength, and vigorously prevented the countries from knowing the specific military strength. Later, through layers of misleading, it made the countries think that Great Qin's military strength was used to conquer the Central Plains, so that Sui State could let go of its vigilance, and Sui State was caught off guard.

In fact, just as Daqin had planned, the Sui Kingdom was indeed caught off guard.

All the countries in the world received the news that the Qin army had already arrived at Daxing City and cut off Daxing's connection with the outside world, and the Sui Kingdom was also in danger of subjugation before Cao Wei.

Daqin's operation stunned everyone in the world. After all, most people in the world thought that Daqin would occupy the Central Plains first and attack Liangzhou later. However, Daqin did the opposite and staged a scene Out: Attack the Central Plains openly, cross Liangzhou secretly.

As for why Daqin didn't invest the forces of the Sui Dynasty in attacking the Central Plains first?

Many people were puzzled by this. After all, after the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains were destroyed, it would be effortless for the Great Qin to destroy the Sui Kingdom.

Even some wise men couldn't figure out the key point, but those top wise men finally analyzed the reason why Da Qin did this through "reverse reasoning".

Fan Li stared at the map, and after a long period of contemplation, he revealed a look of comprehension, and said with a wry smile, "My lord, Li thought of why the Qin army destroyed Sui first, instead of sending hundreds of thousands of troops to the Central Plains."

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Military division, come quickly."

"In Li's analysis, there are probably three reasons for Ying Hao's arrangement:

One is that Daqin's conquest of the Central Plains was mainly offensive, and the role played by the 90 troops was not much different from that of the 120 million troops. "

Hearing Fan Li's words, Cao Cao, Cao Ang, Cheng Yu and others realized this, and immediately frowned.

Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed an indisputable fact that the 90 Qin army almost crushed the million-strong army of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.

In addition, the Qin army's attack speed is not slow at all. Even if it increases 30 troops, it still has to break through the major defense lines in the Central Plains one by one. This will not increase the speed of the advance, but will increase the logistical pressure.

Therefore, if the 90 Qin army cannot take down the Central Plains, then 120 million will naturally not be able to take it down. If 90 can be taken down, naturally there will be no need to dispatch an additional 30 troops.

"What about the second point?" Cao Cao asked.

"Secondly, for Daqin, there is an essential difference between first east then west and first west then east.

If the east is followed by the west, once the three kingdoms of the Central Plains cannot bear it, the western Sui kingdom will definitely participate in the war for self-protection, even if it knows it is invincible. Therefore, Daqin must leave a certain amount of troops to guard against the Sui kingdom. "

"But wouldn't it be the same if it's the other way around? We, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, wouldn't just sit back and watch the Sui Kingdom be destroyed." Cao Ang asked puzzled.

"On the surface, it is the same, but the military force used to defend against the Sui Kingdom is not the same concept as defending against the three kingdoms of the Central Plains. Relatively speaking, it is better to maximize the interests of Great Qin after going east."

"What about the third point?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.

"The third point is that we didn't expect that the Great Qin had hidden so many troops, and Yang Guang naturally couldn't think of it, and the difficulty of the Sui Kingdom being attacked by the Qin army under the neglect of defense is much smaller than the destruction of any of the three kingdoms in the Central Plains. .” Fan Li said with a light sigh.

Although it is said that a wise man is bound to make a mistake, Fan Li could have guessed these things earlier, but the information gap between the two sides is too great. Although Cao Cao knows everything about Da Qin, Cao Wei knows nothing about Da Qin. The information that should be guessed cannot be guessed.

When he thought that Li Jing had already approached Daxing City, and the situation of the dragon against Daxing had already formed, Cao Cao's face instantly became extremely ugly.

After all, the State of Sui under the situation of the trapped dragon will most likely be wiped out by the Qin army led by Li Jing before the State of Wei. At that time, the Qin army will have no hostile forces on the western front, so more troops will be able to be dispatched. The Eastern Front is gone.

Although Fan Li said before that for the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, the difference between the 90 and 120 million Qin Army is not big, but that refers only to the soldiers at the bottom. The Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains pose a great threat.

"This Yang Guang is too incompetent. It hasn't been half a month since the start of the war. Sui was beaten to the bottom of the capital by the Qin army, and the reinforcements were blocked. What a fart."

Cao Hong couldn't help sneering, he thought that if any country was destroyed by Qin first, his own Great Wei would definitely be the first, but according to this trend, the Sui Kingdom will most likely be destroyed before the Wei Kingdom.

"Military division, is there any way to make Sui Guo persist for a few more months?"

Cao Cao asked with a serious face. He also knew that the possibility was very low. After all, Daxing was now in a difficult situation. Unless the Qin army's blockade of Daxing was broken, the possibility of success was also very low.

Fan Li frowned when he heard the words, but finally shook his head and said, "My lord, Sui is not our great Wei, and Yang Guang is not you, my lord. The method that is applicable to us may not be courageous enough for Yang Guang to risk his life." fight.

Besides, Daxing is too far away from Chenliu. The news we received was all five days ago. When the news is sent back, the day lily may be cold. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao clenched his fist unwillingly.

Because of Xiahou Dun's death, he now hates Daqin extremely, so naturally he doesn't want to see Daqin's hostile forces disappear.

However, Daqin is really too powerful, whether it is in terms of national strength and military strength, or in terms of employment and strategy, there are almost no flaws.

Such an opponent is really too hopeless.

Thinking that the Sui Kingdom was about to perish, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling extremely anxious, and at the same time decided to speed up the opportunity to launch the Momen. After all, with the current situation in the Central Plains, only by leading a third party to end can the Three Kingdoms Alliance share the pressure.

After the meeting, Cao Cao met alone with a man in black, and he was Cao Wei's only great master, the pre-Qin sword sage, Cao Qiudao.

"Uncle, go to Dongjun personally and tell Le Yi and Xun You to let them speed up the plan to pull the demon door into the water. If necessary, they will not pay any price." Cao Cao said with a gloomy face.

"promise."

Cao Qiudao nodded, then jumped onto the roof, and soon disappeared from Cao Cao's sight.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Qiudao's leaving figure, his eyes became colder and colder. He naturally knew that this move was extremely risky. Each of the old monsters can take his life.

But so what?

He, Cao Cao, is a vassal and is protected by the agreement of the Hundred Schools. The old monsters of the Demon Sect will definitely have scruples. Bar?
In short, although the plan to pull the demon gate into the water is risky, it also has great benefits, and it is worth Cao Cao blocking it.

Cao Cao looked at the remnant flag that had not finished flying with Fan Li, and said to himself: "Would you wait for the extraordinary to become a sage, with great skill, but as long as you still have concerns in your heart, you will eventually be bound by the world, coerced by interests, and fall into the clouds." Enter this gangster world, become a pawn in this chess game, and be used by me, Cao Cao."

Although Cao Cao's strength is not strong, and his influence is not too strong, he is one of the masters of this big chess called 'Tianxia'.

Although Minghe and the other three masters of the Demon Sect are strong, they are still one of the chess pieces on the chessboard, just like Taiqing Zhulong.

If a chess piece cannot jump out of the chess game and become a chess player, whether it is willing or not, it can only become a chess piece in the player's hand and be used by the player.

----------

One day later, another piece of news from Liangzhou was sent back to the Central Plains, which aroused the indignation of a large number of people in the Central Plains, that is: Yang Guang issued an order to understand Qiang;

This news is naturally bad news for ordinary people. After all, the great man was dragged down by the Qiang people. After more than a hundred years of war, the Qiang people have finally been calmed down, but Yang Guang issued an order to understand the Qiang people. For the future unified dynasty, it must be a great hidden danger.

Therefore, a large number of insightful people yelled in the street that Yang Guang was not a son of man, had no lower limit, fornicated with other races, and was like a traitor...

But for the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, this is great news. After all, once the Qiang Order is released and the Qiang people are liberated, the Sui Kingdom will be able to add [-] Qiang troops in a short period of time. The army will naturally be able to last longer.
