Chapter 185 consume it

"Your Highness's move will definitely make Goguryeo no longer a threat." He Long spoke in conscience, "It's much more skillful than the method below. Killing really cannot solve the problem."

"Just know!" Sima Ji smiled and said something as a confidant. "Things are never complicated, it depends on how to solve it. However, arresting people and repairing projects is just a temporary solution. What will this world look like in the end depends on ourselves in the end! I have always treated Hu Han equally and will not treat it differently."

Because the Jin Dynasty was a rare dynasty in history with insufficient population, Sima Ji could only temporarily seek the development of external forces. However, this kind of wool plundering is not sustainable. No country developed specifically through robbery, and only after it develops.

Once the population can withstand major projects, then these Grand Canals and Great Wall projects will still have to be done by the Chinese. Although it is not nice to say, this is the fate of China.

Just as China's population base is impossible to colonize, even if it is a force like Goguryeo with a population of hundreds of thousands, it is impossible to make a fundamental change to the Jin Dynasty. The robbery will definitely not last long. It is much easier to squeeze the Jin people than to squeeze these foreigners. The population base is large enough that it can be squeezed no matter how you squeeze it.

King Yan understood this point. When squeezing the Jin people, he would also squeezing the Hu people. If he wanted to win over, he would also win over at the same time, but he was currently in the stage of exploitation.

As for Luoyang, it is not a problem. I, the Jin Dynasty, do not advocate Confucianism. The masters of metaphysics do not care about such details. If you want to squeeze, you don’t have to find reasons to pack such shameless behavior.

After capturing the nearby Goguryeo people, Sima Ji soon let the Pingzhou army transfer the target, mainly three directions and one purpose: harvesting grain, hunting, and fishing. The ultimate goal is to accumulate food and grass.

In theory, the King of Yan hoped that Goguryeo would be destroyed the next day, but he had to be prepared for a protracted war. How long does it take to prepare this thing?

Sima Jitai knew the environment in the Northeast. As long as more than 10,000 people did not have problems with cold protection, they would definitely not starve to death even if they were cold. If he had a million troops attacked like the Sui Dynasty, the issue of food and grass would definitely be very urgent, and the war would not be too long, because once the cold winter came, there would be no other way for a million troops to starve to death, but more than 10,000 people, don't expect to retreat if there was not enough food and grass.

The Northeast environment is easy to produce fishing and hunting nations. Sorry, Sima Ji is also from the Northeast. He also grew up in this environment. He may not have all the things of the fishing and hunting nation because of the times, but the environment has not changed. He can guide ancient people who have this skill to adapt to this environment.

"Although the climate here is cold, it must be admitted that the fish here are so big and taste better." Sima Ji, the king of Yan, was feeding the maids to eat, without the style of a prince in the war.

This thing is called the thin-scaled fish in his hometown, but he does not know the scientific name of this fish, and it is rare. Because in the Northeast, the alternation of cold and heat is obvious, and the growth cycle of animals and plants is longer than that of the mainland. The advantage is that the long growth cycle will inevitably lead to the food being more delicious.

Rice that is ripe three times a year is not as delicious as rice that is ripe every year, which is inevitable.

"Your Highness, I am favored by Youth Highness. It is a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life." The little maid looked at Sima Ji with a brilliant look. Now she felt that her lower body was not so painful, and she could continue to serve in bed.

"I am a little anxious. I didn't consider your body. Let's open my mouth!" Sima Ji smiled with satisfaction with putting the fish into the maid's mouth with chopsticks. "You are already my king's person, so you don't have to be so restrained. Remember to change the bracelet after you go back. Do you know if you have different identities? When the army has accumulated food and grass, I will go to war. You sisters will stay here and wait for the king's triumphant return."

In fact, Qiaoxi did this kind of thing. Now that she was not around, Sima Ji knew the trouble. Because of the different color schemes of the maids in the Yan Palace, it can be seen whether this maid, King Yan, had touched it. As the spokesperson of the feudal landlord class, this trick was designed by Sima Ji.

"Your Highness also serves the country and has arrived in this bitter and cold place." The little maid's flattery made the King of Yan very useful, and it depends on who flattery. The little beauty flatters obviously, it is not the effect of the old man Yan Yan.

"You are also serving the country, so you came here to serve me!" The King of Yan showed an expression that I knew about you and I whispered, "I will ask you to sleep at night. Considering that you were injured, I will call you..."

"Your Highness!" The little maid's face turned red and she made a charming voice. She felt ashamed when she thought that there were still others there.

He Long was very depressed. Based on his experience in using troops in Liaodong in the past dynasties, he must avoid dragging war to winter. Once winter comes, the variables will be too great and no one is willing to fight in such an environment.

However, the King of Yan obviously didn't care about the seasons and weather, and it really meant to extend the war to winter. After occupying the Beisha City, he directly ordered the army to hunt and fish everywhere, and harvest the food that the Goguryeo people wanted to harvest was like their own family. People who don't know thought that the fief of the King of Yan would be here.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Goguryeo people have retreated back to the domestic city. We cannot delay it. Once winter comes, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to stand it!" He Long asked for the battle indirectly, and by the way, he saw what the King of Yan meant.

"It makes sense!" Sima Ji didn't raise his head, and threw out a pair of sheepskin gloves and asked, "Is there anything else?"

This is also a problem? He didn't see that nomadic peoples were frozen to death in winter. Can't they wear sheepskin without cotton? Some forests cannot cut down trees to keep warm? As long as food and grass are not a problem, the King of Yan couldn't see any problems.

"Your Highness, mainly gave the Goguryeo people time to defend. Our army has only 30,000 troops, and the Murong family's troops are only 60,000. Every day, the Goguryeo people will make the domestic city more and more difficult to conquer. What if the Goguryeo kings are not short of food, how can we conquer this capital?" He Long picked up the sheepskin gloves and said, "Your Highness thinks twice..."

"The Fuyu Kingdom has sent 10,000 troops and followed Murong Yun south!" Sima Ji took out a piece of paper and handed it to He Long, saying that the current force is not only 60,000, but also the Fuyu Kingdom, which is more suitable for the local area, to join.

I have to say that his external environment is much better than the Sui and Tang dynasties attacked Goguryeo. Thanks to Sima Yan's help, Sima Yan has not died for a long time now, and the friendship of fighting has not faded so quickly.

It was not like the Sui and Tang dynasties. After several consecutive defeats, they finally found Silla as an ally. Is allies important? Of course, the Wusun Kingdom also made great efforts in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns. At least the Western Regions were unstable, and the Huns lost a stable rear. Isn’t the effect of the Tang Dynasty’s joint Silla immediate? If there are different allies, that is a fool…

When he saw He Long, he had to speak. Sima Ji could not continue to be the old god. He put down the military book in his hand and said in a long voice, "The Dongyi Captain may not know much about the environment here. In terms of the environment here, in addition to being ashamed of not fighting because of food, there is actually a more immediate way!"

"What is Your Highness?" He Long asked a question with some difficulty. Throughout history, food has been a big problem in war. Is there anything more important than food issues?

"Cold!" Sima Ji said calmly, "The domestic city of Goguryeo may have stored a large amount of food. Retracted all its troops and defended for a winter. It may not be exhausted. I could have predicted this. However, it is unrealistic to stock up a large amount of firewood in a city. For a long time, we have avoided fighting in the northeast direction. The so-called history as a warning, the Goguryeo people can only find out based on their experience that once heavy snow falls, we will withdraw our troops. Once we retreat, the Goguryeo people will go out of the city to chase us."

"So I didn't think about leaving at all. I wanted to spend time with the Goguryeo people. So I asked you to go out to hunt and fish, and then dry it into jerky meat, just for the confrontation in winter. If there are not enough materials for fire making in the domestic city, the Goguryeo people will die, and it is definitely not us. And if there are mountains of wood that can keep warm in the domestic city, then it's better. I will find a way to burn the domestic city with fire." Sima Ji spread his hands and said, "To be honest, with the climate here, burning to death is not necessarily faster than freezing to death. Does the lieutenant understand this?"

Therefore, it is not a great thing for the entire Goguryeo army to return to the country to defend the city. The more people the consumption, the faster the consumption, and the things in the city will disappear faster and faster. Who may win this confrontation?

Of course, Sima Ji can also command the coalition forces to attack the city day and night, but the coalition forces do not belong to the same force. Whoever dies more and who dies less is a problem. Various forces are united. For recent examples, we can refer to the Battle of Hetao, King of Hejian and King of Fan Yang who are very happy to win the record.

"Your Highness seems that you have made all the preparations, and He Long is overly worried." He Long stood there and thought for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile and said in conscientiously, "Your Highness would rather waste it than let the soldiers suffer too much. He Long will let the soldiers understand such painstaking efforts!"

"I am just a family inheritance, and I can be anxious when fighting." Of course, the Pingzhou army suffered too much casualties, and the biggest loss was Sima Ji, the governor of Pingzhou. Of course, he could not let this happen.
