Chapter 860: Sunrise in the East (85)

At this point, Gao Yuan had invested two cavalry divisions in western Liaoning, plus the 6,000 infantry cavalry, Xu Yuan's Northern Army, Ye Chong's Southern Army, Helanxiong's Eastern Army, and three large field corpses gathered more than 100,000 troops and slowly unfolded in western Liaoning.

"Governor, when our decisive battle with Tian Dan begins, Ye Zhen will launch an attack on Tianhe County. As long as we win, we will not only be able to capture the entire Yan State in one fell swoop, but even Qi State will be beaten to death by us." Jiang Jiaquan, who rushed from Jishi City to Fufeng, could not hide his joy, stared at the map, and said with a smile. "Take Yan State, we will conquer the area controlled by the East Prefecture, which is already larger than all the countries in this world. Governor can establish a country."

Gao Yuan laughed, "The territory is large, but the number of people under his command is still small. People are the most fundamental thing. Whether it is the grassland or the Liaodong Peninsula, they are all vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, the Donghu people ruled the Liaodong Peninsula for many years. This place has been exploited too strongly and has a thin foundation. If you want to run them, it will take much more effort than fighting. It is easier to win a battle, and it is even more difficult to make the people of a place rich!"

"The Governor said that when fighting, now, it is already a heavy debt. Fortunately, the continuous victory on the battlefield has given the people under his command endless confidence, but the debts always have to be paid back. This is a credit issue. As the Governor said, once the credit goes bankrupt, we will be in a disaster."

"This is exactly where our current crisis lies." Gao Yuan tapped the table with his fingers gently, "So, our building is still built on sand and gravel, and the chassis is extremely unstable. Even if we take over Yan State this time, we may not have much gain. After Tian Dan took over Jicheng, he moved the savings of Yan State back to Qi State!"

"They moved away, after a while, they had to move them back to us." Jiang Jiaquan curled his smile, "It would be necessary to add a lot of interest. Governor Wang Wudi stayed in the Ministry of Revenue to settle accounts every day. This time, if we didn't hit the single bill of the field, our finances would really have a big problem."

Jiang Jiaquan took his fingers and said, "After the army wins a battle, rewards are essential. This is a large expenditure. The pension for the soldiers who died and injured is also a lot. This time, Liaoxi paid a huge price to lure the enemy into the deep. It takes a large amount of expenses to recover after the war. In order to issue next year's bond volume, the principal and interest of last year need to be paid this year. The warehouse must have a certain reserve to issue the bond volume on this basis. Wang Wudi just made a rough calculation, and I am afraid that there would be no tens of millions of taels of silver to be taken down!"

Gao Yuan took a breath. "Is there so much? Did Wang Wudi calculate it wrong?"

"I don't know who Wang Wudi is? He said 10 million taels, but I'm afraid he's still severely compressing the amount of expenses in other aspects, so this is the basic number."

"Didn't you get a lot of money with Lin?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Governor, He Lin has indeed gained a lot, but this gain can only maintain our two major battles. The remaining money must be invested in Liaodong, which is our expense after the war." Jiang Jiaquan said helplessly.

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, "Those, this time, we will make him so poor."

"This is the right idea. After the governor's founding, his next goal must be Qi. Of course, he must take this opportunity to make a fierce decision to destroy Qi, and then knock on his bones and marrow, which will make his economy in trouble, which will be conducive to our next action!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "Many generals under his command are still thinking about taking this opportunity to destroy Qi in one fell swoop!"

"That's not possible!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Just break his backbone. Even if Tian Dan loses his troops and humiliates the country, he will inevitably adopt a high-pressure policy in order to maintain his rule. In Qi, there are many people who oppose him. This time he seized the excuse. How could he not take the opportunity to attack? Let Tian Dan go back and clean it for us again!"

"The governor said very much!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "It is better to ask him to clean it than to raise the butcher knife at that time. When Tian Dan cleans the house for us, we can move in comfortably. By then, the resistance will be much smaller. If we can achieve reputation and affordability, why not do it?"

"There is affordable, but the reputation is not necessarily good." Gao Yuan blinked, "After all, we are going to destroy other people's countries, which is not like we are in Yan State!"

"When it comes to the Yan State court, Ji Mausoleum will run to Wei State, which will be a problem at that time?"

"Why are there any trouble? Hasn't Wei State been asking us for weapons and equipment? This line must be maintained. When the overall situation here is certain, we will ask them to welcome back to Ji Mahal. Mr. Jiang, do you think Ji Mahal will come back?" Gao Yuan asked.

Jiang Jiaquan laughed so much that he was happy, "I was afraid that he would not come back if I was beaten to death. Since he did not come back, how could such a monarch who abandoned the country be remembered by the Yan people and replaced it with the governor, which is legitimate."

"The Wei people have something to ask for us, and then we will put a little pressure on us, so we will not be afraid that they will not make things difficult for Jiling." Gao Yuan said lightly, "I want to see where else can Jiling go?"

"Governor, Zhao Qi asked us to send troops to Shannan County to threaten the Qin border to relieve their pressure. How to reply?"

"Promise him!" Gao Yuan said: "This time Ye Zhen's troops went out of Yuyang and attacked Tianhe. In exchange, we can make a threat to the Qin people in Shannan County, but you also clearly told Zhao Qi that it was just a threat, not a real war, so don't expect too much."

"I think Zhao Qi also understands this. Feng Fayong has 20,000 troops from Shannan County, which is enough to make the Qin people nervous for a while." Jiang Jiaquan nodded. (To be continued...)r1292
