Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

For this recruitment, Liu Chen originally planned to recruit 35,000 people in Changshan, raising the total army to 150,000.

However, due to the large number of people from all over the country who gathered in Changshan during this period, coupled with the effect of the [Military Camp], the number of people almost doubled.

In this recruitment, a total of more than 80,000 people were recruited!

After seeing that terrifying number, even Zhao Yun, who had been mentally prepared, was secretly frightened!

The Changshan Army originally had more than 100,000 troops, and Yanzhou recruited more than 15,000 troops. This time with more than 80,000 new recruits, the total strength reached 200,000!

Two hundred thousand troops!!

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, which other army can rival Chang Shan?!

Even the troops guarding the border definitely do not have such terrifying strength!

A large part of the reason is insufficient population and the inability to support them!

Today, the entire population of the Eastern Han Dynasty is only 70 to 80 million people!

Even those who are not included in the statistics, such as vassals, clans, guests, tribes, slaves, etc. who are occupied or hidden by aristocratic families and powerful landlords are not included in the statistics.

The entire Eastern Han Dynasty, with all its calculations, only had about a hundred million people at most. This is still an overestimation!

The current Eastern Han Dynasty's military strength is only 700,000 to 800,000!

Distributed throughout the country, the number of troops was greatly reduced.

And Liu Chen's Changshan Army now has a strength of up to 200,000!

Changshan is just a small county, but it is more terrifying and more numerous than the total strength of those large border guards!

This is not counting the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children like other troops, but real... elite soldiers and strong generals!

Even the fierce general Zhao Yun was a little shocked!

This is more than the first recruitment!

When Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Guo Jia heard the news, their legs softened and they almost knelt down!

"Isn't this too exaggerated? The corner of Guo Jia's mouth twitched,"

Can our Changshan's food supply be enough?""

"It’s a bit difficult! Jushou

's face turned a little pale,"But my lord said that if the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes can really be achieved, then there will be no worries at all." Tian

Feng sighed and said:

"Alas, if we can't reach it, our Changshan food supply will collapse! Although the fiscal revenue continued to flow, it was difficult to buy food after the feud with the Yuan family."

These are all top-notch counselors, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Moreover, their internal affairs level is actually not as good as Liu Chen's. They are all top-notch in making suggestions.

Cheng Yu asked in surprise:"How about... Shall we cut down some of our troops? Let them go home first and wait for them

"When the appointment letter from the imperial court comes and we take over the entire Jizhou, the food problem will be alleviated a lot."

Cheng Yu, Man Chong and Mao Jie have been tested during this period and have gradually integrated into Changshan's military and political discussions.

Of course, they do not know much about some core secrets, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, but only have a rough idea.

Therefore, for Changshan's current food problem makes them feel numb!

Changshan's glass, soap, books and other items are selling well, and money is pouring in.

But the Yuan family's fortification and huge demand for food make it difficult to get food from other places. Buy.

What's more, Liu Chen insisted on his own opinion and believed that all problems would be solved after the sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested.

In this way, they suppressed the food crisis that was enough to crush Changshan!

But now the total military strength has increased from 100,000 troops to An army of 200,000 people. This is actually doubled!

The problem of food crisis suddenly appeared!

"Absolutely not!"

Guo Jia shook his head and said:"If this is the case, Changshan's food problem will be exposed to the public's attention all of a sudden.

"At that time, the school will provide free tuition and food and accommodation will be included. A commitment to recruiting doctors from all over the world. Commitments to those people and so on. will be questioned

"This will trigger a crisis of trust in Changshan!"

What Guo Jia said made everyone nod.

"The lord will not agree to our cutting off our troops! Jushou shook his head and sighed, then said:"Forget it, I'll report it first and see what my lord has in mind to temporarily alleviate the urgent need!""

"exactly."

Guo Jia and others nodded.

Then the group of people and Zhao Yun paid homage to Liu Chen.

When Liu Chen learned the total number of recruits, his expression was normal, but there was a thump in his heart.

Then Liu Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Guo Jia. With the worried expressions on their faces, he was so smart that he naturally guessed the source of the problem.

——There are too many people recruiting troops this time!

——Changshan's food may not be enough!

Liu Chen was a little bit dumbfounded. The effect of [Military Camp] surprised Liu Chen, but now he really shot himself in the foot!

The effect is so good that it’s hard to bear it!

Liu Chen was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he maintained a calm and assured look of victory.

As the lord, he must maintain a good posture, not give his men a panicked look, and make them feel at ease!

Liu Chen asked calmly:"How many days can the warehouse grain last?"

"According to statistics from royal palaces, government offices, military camps, schools, medical schools and other places, it could have lasted for about three months! Jushou held up his hands and said,"But now there are nearly 100,000 new recruits, and their salaries have been released in advance, so there is only less than half a month left!""

Half a month!

Liu Chen was speechless.

Looking at Liu Chen's expression, Guo Jia raised his hands and suggested:"My lord, how about temporarily reducing the food expenditure by one-third? It should be hard for others to notice!"

"no!

Liu Chen shook his head and said,"I have said that there will be no more hunger deaths in the world." These words are still fresh, and you can find printed versions of them in previous issues of newspapers, so how can you take them back?"

Everyone murmured in their hearts.

Even if we reduce it by one-third, we won't starve to death!

"How long until the sweet potato and potato harvests are ready? Liu Chen asked calmly.

"About a month."Tian Feng replied with his hand.

That's half a month short of food!

Liu Chen looked at the system panel. After a series of expenses, there are only about 6.46 million points left.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes can be purchased within the system. , 1 point for 1.

That means you can buy 6.46 million!

Liu Chen recalled the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Each sweet potato weighed about 200 grams, and the maximum potato was 100 grams. This is obviously more cost-effective to exchange for sweet potatoes.

200 grams X 6.46 million = 1.2 billion 92 million grams. Most of the problem was solved at once!

A bright light suddenly flashed in Liu Chen's mind. He searched on the desktop and found a letter.

This was Liu Yu's contact with him after he took office as Youzhou Mu. and communication.

Liu Chen has a good relationship with Liu Yu and other Han clan clan members, so there is no problem buying grain from Youzhou.

In this way, all the problems are solved!

"You don’t need to worry, I have already thought of a solution to the food problem."Liu Chen calmed down completely. This time he was not pretending, but for real.

Guo Jia, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun and others did not ask Liu Chen for his solution, and immediately raised their hands and shouted!

"The lord is wise and mighty!"

"The Lord will know if there is one as soon as he takes action, and it will be hard for me to catch him!"

"The lord is really brilliant and can easily solve the crisis!"

"Your lord's talent is beyond our reach!"

……

Liu Chen was speechless. After the group finished photographing the horses, he said again:

"Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and I are kin, and I will buy grain from Youzhou to solve our urgent needs.

"I vaguely remember that there are still some sweet potatoes stored in the Beiyuan warehouse. I will send someone to check whether this is true.

"After the sweet potatoes and potatoes are harvested, all crises will be solved! You can rest assured!"

After Liu Chen finished speaking, Guo Jia and others finally calmed down.

Liu Chen looked at the recruitment list and said to Zhao Yun:"Zilong, start the recruit competition immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Yun accepted the order. After there was no food crisis, he felt relaxed.

Ps: The information found by the author is that the total military strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty is about 300,000 to 500,000. This is probably official history. However, the author is referring to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the price is slightly higher.
