There are 300,000 large army, including 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry.

Li Jia was still preparing to leave the 100,000 imperial camp, and there were still 50,000 people left under Luoyang City.

Among the remaining 100,000, of which there are 60,000 in Youzhou, Shandong Prefecture and Hebei Prefecture each produce 200,000, which will form 200,000 infantry.

However, this is a pure warrior, rather than a militia that adds a number of militias, which is almost the essence of the Tang Dynasty.

"One hundred thousand cavalry, plus two hundred thousand infantry, consumed a monthly food of 500,000 stones."

Sun Zhao calculated roughly and said in a daze: "In this way, there are still many miscellaneous grains, salt, vegetables, meat, wine, etc., as well as weapons and clothes. You need to prepare another two million guan to last for three months."

"Three months are not enough, at least half a year!"

Li Jia shook her head and said.

Five soldiers on one horse, and ordinary war horses, just eating, exceeded five infantrymen, or even ten.

Therefore, if 100,000 war horses are consumed by 500,000 people.

Three hundred thousand infantry and cavalry, standing still, and every month it takes 500,000 stones of grain.

However, if it is considered as the operating cost of the porter, it will at least double.

In other words, the monthly royalties cost one million stones, and in half a year, six million stones have to be prepared, and the treasury has emptied 30% of them.

If this continues, then the food and grass will continue to support it. This will be a great loss of national strength for the court and will last for up to two years.

"Your Majesty, if this time is used in the Northeast, then the food transportation must be quiet and unexpected. If the Khitans know about it, it will be doubled!"

Zhao Pu was brave enough to show off.

"You guys miscalculated!"

Seeing everyone's faces, the emperor whispered: "I am not going to transport food and grass through the canal, the loss is too great!"

As he said that, he walked down, pointed to the always-off map on the table, pointed to the sea-to-sea area in Youzhou, and said, "I am going to build a granary here to store our military rations."

As he said that, his hand passed through the Yellow River and came directly to Jeju Island, forming a crease: "Starting from Luoyang, passing through the Yellow River, coming to the sea, and then to Jeju Island, transporting most of the grain here to store. The Khitans did not have a navy, so this place would never be Wuchao."

"Then pass through Jeju Island and slowly transfer to Youzhou, thus forming an extremely labor-saving food channel. Is there anything more labor-saving than water transportation in the world?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you store grain in Cangzhou?" Wang Pu asked: "Last time, there were still many granaries here!"

What this means is to use waste and save money and food.

However, before the emperor could speak, Li Huai on the side said, "Cangzhou is too far from Liaodong, hundreds of miles away from Youzhou, and hundreds of miles away from Liaodong. For such a journey, it is extremely difficult to transfer luck."

"So, Your Majesty, it is not enough to be a granary near Youzhou. Go two hundred miles north and arrive in Yingzhou, where there is Yuguan."

After hearing this suggestion, Li Jia did not wrinkle. He did not expect that Li Huai was so bold.

However, when he thought of Yuguan, he was quite moved.

If he was not wrong, Guo Jin had built several fortresses here, which were as solid as a rock.

As a granary, it's really suitable.

"Then, what if the Khitans come to attack? This place is too close to the Khitan."

Zhao Pu raised doubts.

"If the Khitans come, that would be better!"

Li Huai smiled and said, "As far as I know, Guo Jin stationed 150,000 troops here, and the fortress is extremely strong. If the Khitans come, they will inevitably be besieged."

"We set up the granary here to deliberately attract the Khitans."

"If the Khitans do such a thing, I'm afraid I'll laugh out loud!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

However, there was no objection to his establishment of the granary so close.

All are recognized.

However, although Wang Pu did not understand military affairs, he had a wide range of literature and talent, read a lot of books, and had a wide range of natural knowledge. He only pointed at Liaodong:

"The essence of the Khitan lies in the old Bohai Sea, Liaodong——"

As he said, Wang Pu said seriously: "Although I have never been to the grassland, I also know that the white disaster in winter is enough to cause heavy losses to the herdsmen. However, because Liaodong can hunt in winter and store grain, the Khitans are far more persistent than the Turks."

"Also, the land of Liaodong is not only rich in grain, but also with iron and iron tools. Most of the Khitans rely on this. Therefore, the Khitans did not pursue the resurrection of the Bohai Sea, because Liaodong has already made them overwhelmed."

"That's right!"

The emperor couldn't help but exclaim: "There are millions of Bohai people in Liaodong. If they swallow the Bohai Kingdom again, wouldn't it be a change of host and guest?"

"It is precisely because of the importance of Liaodong that it is the lifeblood of the Khitans. Once Liaodong is captured, the Khitans will not be worth worrying."

"But, your majesty, the others must know this, and they will definitely refuse to let go."

Deng Bin couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's so uncomfortable that he just watched it for so long!"

"Yes, the Khitans are not fools either!"

Li Jia said in a deep voice: "But no matter how difficult it is, it must be won. This is a success for the future. The foundation for the descendants to enjoy the happiness of their descendants, and we cannot let future generations carry this burden."

Once upon a time, Li Jia also thought that if there is no foreign trouble in the country, it will die, and she wants to leave a tail or something.

But when he sat on the throne, he immediately understood the truth that wildfires could not be blown away and spring breeze would be born again.

Therefore, killing everything is the bottom line.

However, it would be good to learn from the Qing Dynasty’s experience and develop a policy of long-term stability.

"So, even if these 300,000 people are gone, it will be worth it as long as the Khitans are eliminated."

The emperor was serious about his affairs.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

However, although Wang Pu did not understand military affairs, he had a wide range of literature and talent, read a lot of books, and had a wide range of natural knowledge. He only pointed at Liaodong:

"The essence of the Khitan lies in the old Bohai Sea, Liaodong——"

As he said, Wang Pu said seriously: "Although I have never been to the grassland, I also know that the white disaster in winter is enough to cause heavy losses to the herdsmen. However, because Liaodong can hunt in winter and store grain, the Khitans are far more persistent than the Turks."
