What Simalun proposed was just a strategy in a general direction. How to implement it requires professional personnel to calculate it. Because recruiting a army with such a large number of troops involves all aspects, including weapons and equipment issues, food and supplies issues, and other various issues. If these issues cannot be effectively solved, this strategy will not be valid.

All the chiefs, officers, officers of the General's Mansion, the military officers, the chief officers, the record offices, and the officials participated in the accounting process. The books of the books were moved in and piled up on several cases, and they piled up like mountains. These officials were all sweating and nervous, afraid that a number would be calculated incorrectly and would have to be pushed back and started over again.

Although Sima Shi did not have to participate in this process, he was obviously nervous. After all, the result of this accounting will determine how many people should be recruited, that is, with the current financial resources, at most, how many new recruits can be raised. If the number of people is sufficient, Jizhou's defense problem should be solved. If the number of people is lower than expected, it is still impossible to effectively solve the problem in Jizhou.

The problem in Jizhou is completely related to the problem in Youzhou. Now that Youzhou is lost, Sima Jun still has no ability to take back Youzhou for the time being, so they must stick to Jizhou and wait for the opportunity. If even Jizhou is really lost, the situation in Hebei will completely collapse.

Hebei owns half of Cao Wei's country, and once it is lost, Luoyang will be in danger. For Sima Shi, who is ambitious to take over the world, this result is simply unbearable.

That night, the wing room of the General's Mansion was always brightly lit. Except for going to the toilet, everyone was not allowed to leave the office. Even supper was sent in by the servants of the General's Mansion. They had to eat a few bites on the ground and then they had to work hard.

Sima Shi ordered that accurate accounting results must be obtained before dawn. After all, Sima Shi had already agreed to Zhong Hui and asked him to come the next day. The fall of Youzhou made the situation in Jizhou suddenly become severe. If reinforcements are not sent to Jizhou as soon as possible, the fall of Jizhou is also imminent.

However, Zhong Hui asked Sima Shi for 100,000 infantry, which really made Sima Shi a little embarrassed. In such a short time, where could he raise such a large army, it would be difficult to relieve near fire from far away.

Now consider it, it seems that the method proposed by Sima Lun is the only effective method. Instead of demolishing the east wall and replenishing the west wall to mobilize troops everywhere, and making defenses in various places become very tense, it is better to tap the potential of Jizhou on the spot, enrich the army with the local people and strengthen the momentum, so as to defend the city and ensure that Jizhou is not lost.

Sima Lun made this suggestion, which surprised Sima Shima. You should know that Sima Lun is only ten years old. Generally, ten-year-old children can read the Analects of Confucius and recite the Book of Songs at most. Sima Lun already knows the three strategies and six strategies and knows the general trend of the world. It is quite amazing that he can propose the concept that the whole nation is a soldier. As for how much money and grain in Jizhou can support, this has nothing to do with Sima Lun. Only the number of strictly calculated is the most correct.

The entire east wing was bright all night, and Sima Shi did not sleep all night. He didn't even take off his coat, but just took a nap next to the case until the Zuo Changshi reported to him: "General, the calculation results have come out."

Sima Shi immediately opened his eyes, sat up, and asked anxiously: "What's the result?"

Zuo Changshi reported: "Based on the current grain storage in Jizhou and the estimated taxes that can be received, as well as the weapons, equipment, supplies, food and supplies that can be allocated in Luoyang. The most conservative estimate is that 300,000 troops can be recruited in Jizhou, and all the grain and grass can be spent in one year."

"Three hundred thousand?" Sima Shi suddenly felt overjoyed. Zhong Hui called for 100,000 troops, and Jizhou could recruit 300,000 people. Even if the newly recruited army was weaker in combat, two were worth one, then 200,000 people could meet his requirements. Now that 300,000 people were given, Sima Shi believed that Jizhou's defense would be significantly improved to a large extent.

The strength of the Bingzhou Army lies in its powerful cavalry. If we really put these 300,000 people on the plain and fight against the Bingzhou Army's cavalry, we would probably die miserably. No matter how many people were, it would be useless.

But these newly recruited soldiers were not in field battles, but guarding the city. In front of the city walls, no matter how powerful the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army was, it would be useless. As long as the Jizhou Army could control various important cities, the situation in Jizhou would be firmly in their hands.

Now Sima Shi is known to have an army of 500,000, but less than half of the troops can be mobilized will only have the results if it will affect the defense of various places.

If Jizhou can suddenly add 300,000 people to the motor power, it is simply incredible.

"Has the verification been made? Is the result accurate?" Sima Shi was most concerned about this issue. Even he was a little unbelievable. He suddenly added 300,000 people in Jizhou. Isn't the pressure on logistics support too much? If the logistics support food supply is lost, no matter how many troops will collapse, it will be a joy in the end.

Zuo Changshi said confidently: "General, please rest assured. This result has been carefully verified three times. Everyone agreed that there is no problem. Moreover, these 300,000 people are the minimum guarantee limit. If the battle is urgent, there is no problem to recruit about 100,000 people temporarily."

Sima nodded and said, "Okay, thank you all for your hard work, you can go back and rest. Those who participated in the accounting last night will be rewarded. In addition, the right chief Zhong Hui came to Jin to see him."

Although Zhong Hui has been appointed by Sima Shi as General of the North and Governor of Hebei, and he has not participated in the accounting work last night, this appointment has not been officially issued. Currently, Zhong Hui's official position is still the right chief of the general, so Sima Shi calls him that.

Zuo Changshi retreated and returned to the east wing room, saying to everyone: "The general is very satisfied with the result. Let's leave. Let's go back early to rest. The general will not treat everyone badly. There will be another reward later."

After staying up all night, all of these people's eyes turned red and exhausted. However, after hearing the good news of the reward, they were excited. This night was not in vain.

Everyone took their leave and went back to take a break. Zuo Changshi did not dare to rest and immediately sent someone to notify Zhong Hui that the general would invite him.
