Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 294
Fang Jing was watching the food being unloaded from the boats, and some horses and chariots got off the boats, which they brought over by boat from Dongjun County in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cars and horses carry more food, but unfortunately ships are limited and cannot transport more, and the rest can only rely on manpower.

After hearing the words of the prefect of Cangzhou, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Thank you, sir, it should be almost the same now."

"My officials have already arranged the arrangements along the way. Even if you go out of the Cangzhou boundary, don't worry too much, my lord has already communicated with Cangzhou, and they will give you convenience." The prefect of Cangzhou said.

"I'm sorry." Fang Jing laughed and said, "Ziyan."

Ziyan immediately came over and quietly stuffed a stack of bank notes into the hands of the prefect of Cangzhou.

The prefect of Cangzhou swiftly put the banknotes in his cuffs. He didn't count them, but under his fingertips, he could know that there were more than a dozen banknotes, each of which should be ten thousand taels.

Li Handie snorted coldly not far away.

Naturally, she noticed the situation here, and she was very disgusted when she saw the behavior of these officials.

After dismissing the prefect of Cangzhou, Fang Jing walked to her side and said with a smile, "Some things have to be changed."

"Your workaround is to bribe with silver?" Li Handie sneered.

"This is the way of the world." Fang Jing spread his hands, "You can't change him, so you can only get used to it. And spending some money can make the food and grass reach the barracks faster, isn't it a good thing?"

"Okay, anyway, these are your money, you don't feel bad, I don't want to take care of it." Li Handie said, "I just can't understand the appearance of those dog officials."

"It's not bad to be able to do things with money, but some people don't do things with money, that's really ineffective every day." Fang Jing said with a smile.

"There are others like this?" Li Handie asked in a daze.

"You really don't eat fireworks in the world." Fang Jing shook his head and said, "Are all of you Tianxianmen like this? If so, I'm afraid you can't beat Moxianmen."

"I am me, it only represents me." Li Handie said with a bit of embarrassment, "I really didn't pay attention to these things before."

"The world is like this, just get used to it." Fang Jing sighed, "The food and grass are transported to the camp, who knows how much will be distributed to the officers and soldiers below."

"Are you talking about withholding food and salary?"

"Things like this have happened in all dynasties, and it can't be eliminated." Fang Jing said, "It's just a difference of how much."

Fang Jing knew that the general in Jizhou Daying was pretty good, but the matter of embezzling food and pay involved too many things, even he couldn't control it in many cases.

Because those who are in charge of food and pay are often not his people.

This is the method used by the imperial court to check and balance the generals leading the troops.

Li Handie didn't say anything more, she knew what Fang Jing said was the truth.

"Don't think too much, you'd better put your mind on the magic fairy gate." Fang Jing glanced at her again and said.

"Want you to remind?" Li Handie snorted coldly.

Fang Jing smiled and walked towards Ziyan.

Ziyan was watching the ship unloading grain and grass.

"Master, there are no accidents on the way. There are 110 million stones in total here. If there is any accident on the way, you can make up for the loss." Ziyan said.

[-] stones are in case of prevention, and there is no accident on the road, and naturally, there will be more.

"Send them all over." Fang Jing said with a smile, "We can't let our guard down right now. Luoyang should get news of this matter soon."

"Young Master, even if they get the news, it's probably too late." Zi Yan said, "But I will still let the people below be careful."

"Very well, I will follow this trip."

"Master?"

"They're all here, it doesn't matter if you take a walk." Fang Jing waved his hand.

Fang Jing came here in person this time, mainly because he was worried about the masters of Moxianmen.

If the Moxianmen really intervened when the Turkic army went south, they would definitely not want to see the imperial court transporting food and grass to the camp.

"Okay." Ziyan smiled, "The imperial court gave it two months, but judging by the current situation, more than one month is almost enough."

Regarding the deadline, Fang Jing is not worried.

The imperial court's 30 troops were divided into three groups, and Jinzhou, Luzhou, and Jizhou each set up a big camp.

Jinzhou and Luzhou are almost in the north of Luoyang and south of Taiyuan.

If the Turkic army wants to go south from Taiyuan, these two states will bear the brunt. If they want to conquer the Turkic army, these two states will naturally become the frontiers of military use.

As for Jizhou, in the southeast of Taiyuan, it is possible to pinch the Turkic army from the southeast to the northwest.

As for the west, the imperial court only asked the local area to strengthen its vigilance.

The reason for this is that those state capitals in the west of Taiyuan were often harassed by Turks in the past, and they were often plundered, so there was little wealth in the place.

Even if you want to come to Turkic, you will not go west.

They'll just keep going south or east.

The camps in the three states each stationed 20 troops, and the three groups joined forces to attack the [-] troops in Taiyuan City.

Many people have objections to this distribution of military power.

When dispatching troops, there must be a priority. Now that the three armies have the same number, once the Turkic army finds an opportunity, they will be defeated one by one.

You must know that the Turks are all cavalry, and they come and go like the wind.

Of course, some people think that it is said that there is a three-way army, but it is actually a two-way army.

Jinzhou and Luzhou are adjacent, which can be regarded as a large army along the way.

There are 20 here, in the north of Luoyang, facing Taiyuan City, which is considered the main force of the army.

The imperial court only said that the grain and grass would be sent to the camp, but it didn't say which camp.

According to the intention of the imperial court, it must be the Luzhou Camp, because the Marshal of the Northern Expedition is in the Luzhou Camp this time.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Jing was able to take advantage of this loophole.

Otherwise, even if it is by sea, I am afraid that the time will not be enough.

After all, one month is not enough to travel from Cangzhou to Luzhou by land. For such a long time, accidents may happen at any time along the way.

Fang Jing would not think that if he transported 100 million shi of grain and grass to Jizhou, Jinzhou and Luzhou would be short of food.

Luoyang alone has hoarded a lot of food and grass, enough for the army to spend for several months.

In comparison, Jizhou Daying may be the worst of the three, lacking food and salaries.

"Master, you should be able to arrive at Jizhou Daying tomorrow morning." Ziyan handed a paper bag to Fang Jing while speaking.

It can be said that transporting food is a day and night.

After all, it was only a journey of two days and two nights, and everyone got through it, that is, they would only rest for two hours in the middle of the night.

Hundreds of thousands were stationed in the wilderness, and the Cangzhou magistrate's yamen and the Cangzhou Wulin Weiqian households sent troops to guard all the way.

"It's even more vigilant tonight." Fang Jing said.

He opened the paper bag, and there were three steamed buns inside, which were hot, obviously Ziyan had already been overheated.

"The slaves understand that if those guys want to play tricks, tonight is their last chance." Ziyan said.

Dark night and high wind are naturally the best time to do bad things.

When the sky is bright, it will not be so easy to do it again.

Fang Jing knew very well that Luoyang must have got the news, but they couldn't respond in time when they got the news.

They can transport the food and grass to the camp in two days and two nights, and they have no time at all.
