Han Mo turned to Han Xuanling and asked, "Governor Han, do you know how much food is stored in Kyoto?"

Han Xuanling said seriously: "The general has also sent Xi Zuo to sneak into Kyoto City and inquire about the news. The food and grass in Kyoto City are not as insufficient as we imagined. Although the Wei army lost a large amount of food and grass supplies in Nanyang Pass, the emperor of Wei has been preparing to gather troops since the Wei army retreated from Nanyang Pass. Not only did they quickly collect and gather food and grass from various places, but the rice and grass stores in Wei directly included rice and grain into the grain warehouse of Kyoto City in the name of borrowing grain. The rice and grass stores in Kyoto City were not spared. It is said that for this matter, the merchants in Kyoto City had risen up and were suppressed by the Wei city defense army, killing and injuring many people."

Han Mo smiled indifferently and said, "This Emperor of Wei is very active in protecting his life."

Xiahou Dedao: "General, no matter how much food and grass he has in Kyoto City, he still has a lot of people. The number of Wei troops used to participate in the defense of Kyoto City alone has exceeded 100,000, and there are tens of thousands of war horses. The daily loss of these troops alone is a huge number. In addition, there are more than 300,000 residents in Kyoto City, which is more than 300,000. Could it be that his food only supports the army and not the people in the city? If that is true, we don’t need to fight Kyoto City, and the people of Wei in the city can open the door for us."

Xiahou De's words made a lot of sense, and everyone nodded.

Han Mo also smiled and said, "General Xiahou said well. In order to attack Qing State, Wei sent all the elite Wei State forces to win. In order to shorten the logistics supply line, after occupying Nanyang Pass, they transported a large amount of food and supplies to Nanyang Pass to stock up. However, they certainly did not expect that in the battle of the Nanyang Plain, they would collapse with one blow, and they didn't even have time to evacuate the food and supplies... The iron horse cavalry was completely wiped out. Although the attack on the Wei army was extremely severe, the large amount of food and supplies that really hurt their vitality were still the lost large amount of food and supplies." He touched his chin and said slowly: "It's summer now, it's early to harvest in autumn. What they stocked up was nothing more than last year's food. There was no new food to pay, so they could only emphasize the old food. But I was very puzzled. Wei State really has a lot of old food to adjust?"

He stood up from the chair, asked someone to take the map of Wei, and then spread it flat on the ground. All the generals got up from the chair and surrounded him. Only Han Cang had no expression on his face, leaning on the chair, closing his eyes slightly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

On the map, all the six counties of Wei State were presented above.

The Yan army attacked Kyoto City this time, and Wei County was the largest group among the six counties of the Great Wei, and was second to none in terms of land area and population.

In terms of geographical location, Wei County is in the middle of the Wei State. The east is Suiding County, the northeast is Shanbei County, the southeast is Shannan County, the west of the Wei army, the northwest is Anxi County, the richest mineral resources, and the west is Tianshui County.

Han Mo held a thin wooden stick and pointed at Shanbei County Road: "According to our understanding, the real production areas of the six counties of Wei State are nothing more than Shanbei, Wei and Tianshui County. Shannan County is surrounded by mountains and has many medicinal materials and beasts, which are not suitable for growing grain. Only one of the three counties can plant grains, which can only maintain the food of the locals in Shannan County, so we don't have to pay attention to this county. Suiding County is now in our hands, and it is impossible for people to transfer grain from here, so it can be ignored." He moved the small wooden stick to Anxi County and said: "Anxi County has rich minerals, fertile land, and a huge area. It was originally a good place to grow grain, but I will know that the grain produced by Anxi County is actually not as good as Shannan County surrounded by mountains."

Tiekui immediately said: "General, this is exactly what happened. This Anxi County is the place used by Wei State to mine, smelter and tame war horses. The Wei State has strong military strength, and this Anxi County has made great contributions."

"Yes." Han Mo smiled and said, "In order to develop military equipment, the Wei State has always been used to train horses for hundreds of miles. The places under the Daxue Mountains are grasslands, and countless horse farms are spread all over it. In addition, the Anxi County has rich minerals and the Wei State's weapons are sharp and powerful. Seven or eight out of ten of its materials are produced from Anxi County, so the Wei State cannot get too much food from this county."

"Then the only three counties of Shanbei, Wei and Tianshui as the general said." Xiahou De said thoughtfully.

"Shanbei County is now in full swing, and Yuan Mu's troops are attacking Shanbei County. There is already a chaotic war. Whether the local food can be supplied to the needs of the Shanbei Army has become a problem. Not to mention that there is still food to be transferred to Kyoto City." Han Mo said slowly: "So after all, Kyoto City wants to mobilize grain and grass, or to support food in Kyoto City, except Wei County, there is only Tianshui County."

Everyone present admired Han Mo's words and said that it was quite admirable. It seemed that the general had already taken the lead in replenishing the food and supplies of Wei.

"As you said before, although the Wei people were seriously injured, they still had combat power. Lin Chengfei still had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command. The surrounding area of ​​Kyoto City was wide, and the cavalry would definitely play a great role. If we blindly attack Kyoto City, it would inevitably cause great damage to our army." Han Mo said solemnly: "So even if the Wei people are unwilling to fight a protracted war, I am really willing to waste time with them."

Han Xuanling smiled and said, "Is the general planning to let them cut off food and surrender?"

"I don't care whether the Wei people surrender or not, but it is necessary to cut off food." Han Mo's eyes shining sharply: "Without food, there will be chaos within the capital of Kyoto. Even if the Wei soldiers are brave, how long can the soldiers without food last?" Speaking of this, he felt sad. He thought that when he was in Shannan County, he and his subordinates had no food for several days, and later he had to take the risk of breaking through. Without food, the combat effectiveness of the army would be weaker day by day.

Tiekui clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "General, what should we do?"

Han Mo said slowly: "After entering the Wei army, our army does not have to rush to attack Kyoto City, the main force confronts them." Then he said cold, "But we can't let another piece of food enter Kyoto City."

"What the general means... to surround the points and attack the aid?" One commander understood.

Han Mo nodded and said, "Yes, I will not attack the Wei people's food route."

"A clever plan!" Xiahou De said excitedly: "General, he besieged the Kyoto City, leaving them without food to help. We divided our troops to cut off the Wei people's food route. The food stored in the Kyoto City must be supplied to more than 400,000 people. We have to see how much food supply there is in their city. As long as the food and grass are cut off in the Kyoto City, the Wei army will be defeated!"

At this moment, Han Cang's cold voice sounded: "Although the Wei people's food and grass cannot be supported for too long, can our army's food and grass last forever?"

Han Mo stood up, not looking at Han Cang, but said lightly: "At present, our food and grass are enough to support us for a long time, and compared with the Wei people, our logistics support is much stronger."

"From the domestic grain transport, the transportation line is extremely long, and the manpower and material resources will be extremely large." Han Cang said lightly: "If you do not attack and keep dragging it like this, can you afford it. Can my Dayan court be able to hold it?" A sneer flashed across his lips: "As the commander of the First Army, you should understand that if you transfer grain from the country, the manpower of the civilian wife will be extremely large. Along the way, they also have to eat food. The longer the transportation line, the more food consumed on the road, and you need 100,000 stones of food in front of you, so the food transported from the country will be more than 200,000 stones... At that time, I am afraid that the people of Wei will not be dragged down, but I will be dragged down by my Dayan first."

Han Mo smiled indifferently and said, "Commander Han has forgotten that nowadays, the competition between several countries is the one who has the strong national strength and whose logistics can be guaranteed. My Dayan worked hard for many years, and if it was so easy to be dragged down, there would be no need to fight this battle. If you want to conquer and destroy a country, how can you succeed by talking about war on paper?" He returned to his chair and said calmly: "Even if our army attacks strongly, it may not be able to conquer the world in one battle. Instead, it will damage countless brothers and consume their logistics. Our army can not only reduce damage, but also fight a battle that will win. Fight with national strength, which can not only reduce the loss of life, but also ensure victory. Why not do it?"

Han Cang said calmly: "I hope so, don't be afraid to take the blame for defeat, so he dare not attack!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the tent changed color slightly.

These two people were also Han clans and cousins, but they did not hide their dissatisfaction with Han Mo at all.

Han Xuanling's brows were already frowning, and he wanted to speak but stopped, but he finally said nothing.

Han Mo said solemnly: "Now in the camp, there are only superiors and subordinates, and there is no other. If you make your own suggestions and offer suggestions for my Dayan strategy, I will be very happy. However, if you want to disturb the morale of the army and blaspheme the military power here, don't blame me for being ruthless. You are all people who lead troops. You should understand the military law. Please remember who the army is the commander of the army!"

Han Mo's words were not intended to confront Han Cang.

But he knew in his heart that during a war, orders were prohibited and military laws were ruthless. If he could not restrain his subordinates and let every general under his command execute his orders without any error, he would have to upright military rules and establish absolute military authority.

Han Cang was dissatisfied with him, and Han Mo knew it well. He knew that Han Cang was an arrogant person, but he was worried that he would disrupt military law because of his dissatisfaction with him. If Han Cang really disobeyed the control and touched the military law, in order to make the right and maintain the military authority, he would definitely not forgive Han Cang for personal gain.

His cold and harsh words at this time were actually to alert Han Cang, so as not to cause troubles that would be difficult to deal with in the future.

When Han Cang heard Han Mo's words, although Han Mo claimed to be a "general", the fool also understood that this was what he said to him. He suddenly stood up, looked at Han Mo, and sneered: "After saying this, my words still blasphemed the military power? Then, ask someone to tie me down and chop it up now, see if I, Han Cang, frowned!"
