    Chapter 1755: Such a man should die as soon as possible


    "Military advisor, how is the recruitment of the new army?"


    Liu Che looked at Huo Guang and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any full staff?"


    Huo Guang replied directly without thinking, "Report to Your Majesty, the 30,000 new troops have been recruited long ago. General Tian Yu has been training for more than a month and has begun to gain combat power."


    Although Liu Che decided to rely on his own strength to fight against Qin Hao''s 500,000 army, he still had too few chances of victory relying on the 150,000 army of the Northern Han, so he naturally tried every means to enhance his strength, and expanding the army was just the first step Liu Che took.


    Youzhou is no longer barren, but not very rich. However, if Liu Che broke the blame, he could barely afford the army of 180,000 in a short time.


    Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the four states of Youbian and Liangjiao were the least populous and poorest.


    Among these four states, the population of three states is less than one million. The only one that has exceeded one million is Youzhou. However, compared with other states, it is still a state with fewer individuals and poor.


    During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of refugees in the Central Plains fled to Youzhou. In addition, the coalition of the princes of Hebei defeated the Xianbei and killed the Xianbei Shanyu, which also allowed some grassland tribes to actively rely on it, which greatly increased the population of Youzhou.


    Later, Youzhou experienced the governance of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and Liu Che and Gongsun Xuanyuan. Although wars were still frequent, the weather was good and the government was harmonious, and the people naturally ushered in a major governance. The population was still on an upward trend, and the total population also reached more than three million for the first time.


    If Liu Che could unify Youzhou, he would naturally be able to easily afford an army of 180,000. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to unify Youzhou, but he also occupied most of the most elite areas of Youzhou.


    At present, Liu Che''s Northern Han Kingdom only has Dai County, Shanggu, Zhuo County, Guangyang, Yuyang, and half of Youbeiping, with a total of five counties and half of the land, with a total population of about 1.8 million.


    The remaining half of Youbeiping, as well as the six vassal states in western Liaoning, Liaodong, Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang and Dingfang, are all owned by the Gongsun family of Liao Kingdom, with a total population of nearly 1.2 million.


    However, under the gradual erosion of the Qing Dynasty, most of the Liaodong counties, as well as the four counties of Liaodong vassal states, Xuantu, Lelang and Dianfang, were successively occupied by the Qing Dynasty.


    The current Liao Kingdom, oh no, is Chen Kingdom, only one county in western Liaoning, half of Youbeiping, and some Liaodong counties, a total of more than ten counties, with a total population of less than 300,000.


    The total population of Northern Han was only 1.8 million. After fighting with the Qin army for so long, many troops were naturally injured and killed, but they still maintained the scale of an army of 180,000, which shows that the recruitment of Northern Han has reached its limit.


    Liu Che also knew that the recruitment of the Northern Han Dynasty had reached its limit. If the military was continued to be recruited, it would only arouse civil unrest. Even if the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack, the Northern Han Dynasty might be crushed because it could not afford the army.


    Liu Che knew how to measure his strength, so he maintained his troops at 180,000 and did not continue to force the army.


    Compared with the Qin army''s 500,000, the Northern Han army is indeed a little less, but relying on the advantage of Youzhou, it may not be powerless to fight.


    Liu Che had already made up his mind that even if Qin Hao was eventually destroyed, he would hold back the main force of the Qin army in Youzhou as much as possible and strive for and create opportunities for Shu Han and Chu Han.


    Since I am destined to be unable to revive the Han Dynasty, then give this opportunity to Liu Ji and Liu Xiu, who are of the same clan! Liu Che thought to himself.


    After Liu Che made full preparations, he thought that the Qin army was about to fight, but he never expected that the Qin army was not the Qin army, but the Japanese pirates who came first.


    There are many prefectures and counties near the sea in Youzhou. The five counties near the sea are Yuyang, Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Lelang and Daofang are all near the sea. Among them, Yuyang and Youbeiping have Liu Che.


    70% of the Northern Han army''s troops were concentrated on the front line, and the remaining 20% ??were responsible for guarding the capital Jixian. All other counties accounted for 10% of the troops. It is conceivable how weak the troops of each county were.


    The Northern Han Dynasty also had no idea of ??coastal defense, and Quanzhou Prefecture in Yuyang County had only 300 defenders, so it was naturally impossible to stop Sanada Yukihiro''s 5,000 elite Japanese soldiers. Sanada Yukihiko is actually Sanada Nobumura known as the "Nobunaire of Japan". He is ranked alongside Genyosuke and Masasuke Kumaki as the "three last tragic heroes" in Japanese history.


    If compared with the characters of the Three Kingdoms, Sanada Yukimura in the hearts of Japanese people is equivalent to the combination of Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun.


    The command of the army is not weaker than Zhou Yu, and his martial spirit is not weaker than Zhao Yun. Isn’t this the weakened version of Qin Hao?


    Of course, this is just the Yoshimura Sanada in the hearts of Japanese people. Although it is not so exaggerated, it is definitely not much different.


    After the 5,000 Japanese troops in Sanada Nobum landed in Yuyang County, they quickly targeted the wealthy Quanzhou County and launched a massacre-style robbery after capturing the county town.


    The army of Yukimura Sanada robbed Quanzhou Prefecture for three days and three nights, and finally massacred nearly 30,000 people, committed countless sins, and left after robbing them.


    After the news was returned to Ji County, Liu Che was furious. After all, the entire Northern Han Kingdom had a population of only 1.8 million, and one-sixty of the Japanese pirates were massacred at once. What’s wrong?


    In a rage, Liu Che completely ignored the dissuasion of his civil officials and was very tough to send a large army to encircle and suppress it.


    "Your Majesty, don''t act irresponsible. If you divide your troops to suppress the Japanese at this time, what should you do if the Qin army attacks?"


    "Yes, yes, the Japanese pirates are just a small problem with being addicted to moss. Even if they succeed for a while, they will not hurt the root of our great man. The Qin army is the enemy..."


    “Enough.”


    Liu Che slapped the document suddenly and shouted, and everyone immediately shut up.


    Seeing that no one was talking, Liu Che''s eyes were filled with anger. After scanning the ministers, he said coldly: "Raising the army is to safeguard the country and protect the people. If he ignores the people and allows these beasts to rob and insult, then what is the purpose of the army? What is the purpose of the king?


    Such a man should die as soon as possible. ”


    Even the deceased man said such words, which shows how angry Liu Che was at this time.


    As soon as this statement was made, the minister who had just advised him not to send troops quickly knelt down and cried and apologized to Liu Che.


    It’s not okay to not apologize for the crime. Liu Che’s words are too serious. If he doesn’t apologize for the crime, the surrendered faction who was imprisoned in the prison will end up even worse in the near future.


    After Liu Che looked at these people coldly, he said lightly: "Who is there any general who is willing to lead the army to wipe out the Japanese pirates?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the four generals Li Ling, Su Jian, Tian Yu and Xian Yu Fu stood up together and said in unison: "The last general is willing to go."


    Liu Che''s brows frowned slightly. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with the four candidates.
