Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 816 A certain calculation of the White Lotus Sect

However, no matter what they did, Bai Lian and Da Qian paid less attention to the Han army.

Not because of anything else, but because as the capital was gradually built, King Li Tian finally decided to found a country and proclaim himself emperor.

It was under this circumstance that Liu Wu finally made the order to suppress bandits and eliminate evil.

After all, internal problems can easily lead to turmoil if something goes wrong, so it is best to make a time lag.

As expected, the Han army's campaign to suppress bandits and evil went very smoothly, and by the way, it brought disaster to the intelligence systems of Daqian and Bailian.

Therefore, after the eunuch in charge of intelligence in Daqian reported the matter, the final order he received was to monitor the White Lotus Sect.

At the same time, the Daqian court also issued orders for combat training to Yiyi, the southern camp, and Yizhou, the Jiangbei camp.

The purpose is also very clear. Once the White Lotus Sect establishes a country and proclaims itself emperor, it must be severely attacked.

Therefore, the Zhengnan Camp and Jiangbei Camp have begun crazy troop recruitment and training.

The White Lotus Sect was unhurried about this and ordered Yang Shida and Jiang Fenghua to command their troops respectively, with one facing the river across the river and confronting the Jiangbei camp. A leader led most of his elite troops to the west along the river, taking a defensive posture. At the same time, they continued to hoard supplies in the rear, always preparing to attack Chuanzhou.

Once the White Lotus Sect takes Chuanzhou, they will take over the entire Jiangnan area, and the Han army's voice in Jinling Mansion will completely decline, and they may even be driven out.

After that, the Han army could only be trapped in Leizhou and Fuzhou, and finally surrendered to the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect was ambitious, and the Han army could naturally see it, not to mention that Li Kaiping, the central sacrificial wine, was still helping the White Lotus Sect build the capital, hold enthronement ceremonies and other things.

This information is completely transparent to the Han army.

"The White Lotus Sect has raised the height of the city facing us, and is also constantly increasing its troops!"

Another year, after spring plowing, Lu Yulin reported to Liu Wu.

"It seems they are just going to fight a founding war!"

The time for King Li Tian of the White Lotus Sect to found his country and ascend the throne has been set, September [-] this year.

This time can be said to be very good. After the autumn harvest and tax collection, it’s time for a serious fight.

It can be said that Daqian Bailian is preparing for this battle!

"Not only that, they don't believe us either. This is just to prevent us from causing trouble behind them!"

Lu Yulin easily saw what the White Lotus Sect wanted to do and was quite unhappy.

Liu Wu could naturally see it, "The founding of the White Lotus Sect is not a small matter for them, so it is understandable that they treat it so seriously!"

"Humph," Lu Yulin snorted coldly.

"I understand, but they are really mean to treat us as enemies and be wary of them."

"Maybe it's because they have this idea of ​​sneak attack on our Han army that they have the idea that our Han army will cause trouble for them."

Liu Wu smiled at Lu Yulin's complaint, lowered his head and looked at the map again.

"By the way, does the White Lotus just heighten the city defenses and increase its troops?"

"Yes!"

"Then do you know what kind of troops are being added? Skitarii or Guardians?"

Lu Yulin thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly the Skitarii, but there are one or two thousand Guardians at each pass."

"Generally speaking, the number of the Skitarii has increased, but the number of the Guardians has decreased significantly!"

Liu Wu listened, then took out a ruler to draw on the map and sighed.

"Something's wrong. The White Lotus Sect is using all its resources to build the country!"

Lu Yulin was puzzled, and Liu Wu explained: "Look at the direction the White Lotus Sect has laid out for us. It is obvious that they are planning to rely on one pass city after another for defense."

"With so much important land, how many soldiers do they need? How much food do they need?"

"It's spring plowing now, and they are constantly increasing and training their troops. It's obvious that food production has been restricted. Their consumption of food is more based on their previous accumulation."

"On this point, it can be said that the White Lotus Sect has tried its best!"

Lu Yulin frowned and looked at the map in disbelief.

"Brother, you mean they have to give up food production in these two seasons?"

"In this case, why don't they establish the country and proclaim themselves emperor now, but after the autumn harvest? Isn't this the time to prepare for Daqian?"

Liu Wu was also curious, and after thinking for a while, he asked someone to bring the data on the White Lotus Sect's tax revenue in the past two years and the data on the Yanhan Trading Company's trade in the White Lotus Sect.

Then he took a look and finally confirmed what he was thinking.

Liu Wu handed the data to Lu Yulin, "Take a look!"

Lu Yulin took it and looked through it carefully, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"This was actually prepared two years ago?"

Yes, these data record in detail that the White Lotus Sect has been accumulating food in the past two years, and a lot of it was purchased from outside through Yanhan Trading Company. The purpose of this type of food is to be consumed in various cities. If it is not from the large From this perspective, you can't see it at all.

The remaining tax revenue was mainly from food, supplemented by money, which was hoarded.

In two years, the food stored in nearly six states was enough to support the White Lotus Sect in a founding war.

But similarly, the consumption of the White Lotus Sect in the past two years has also been huge. A large amount of grain, salt and other materials were purchased with money. Even after accumulating for so many years, they have almost been consumed now.

This is also the reason why the business of Han Army and Yanhan Trading Company has been getting better and better in the past two years. It can be said that the White Lotus Sect has single-handedly provided for the rapid development of Han Army and Yanhan Trading Company.

It's just that this rapid development has led to a detailed analysis of the internal situation of the White Lotus Sect by the Han Army and Yanhan Commercial Bank.

But this does not mean that the Han army's attention to the White Lotus Sect has weakened, nor has it relaxed.

After confirming the matter, you can easily get all the data, then summarize the intelligence, and finally get a surprising result.

Just listen to Liu Wudao: "This year's White Lotus Sect is unstoppable and extremely resilient. There is no need for us to confront them. Let Da Gan bear it!"

"By the way, since the White Lotus Sect is ready to establish a country, let Lu Shu go and express the attitude of our Han army and calm their hearts."

"As for the troops at the border, we also ensure that the current number will neither increase nor decrease."

"Yeah!" Lu Yulin agreed, and then asked curiously: "Now that Lu Shu is gone, where is Li Kaiping?"

"These two years..."

Lu Yulin didn't finish her words, but his frown was enough to explain a lot.

Liu Wu was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally just sighed.

"He will not come back. He reported that he must help the White Lotus Sect complete the founding of the country and ascend the throne, and he must verify his doctrine."

As for Li Kaiping's real thoughts, they are now somewhat incompatible with Lu Yulin and the others, and even gradually come into conflict.

Who can know what will happen in the future!
