Chapter 416 Logistics
In April, Yang Zheng led his army back to Guzang.

Another year of spring plowing has started vigorously.

Wei Guan and Yin Chun were guarding Longyou, Du Yu was busy organizing the household of Qimin, and Lu Zhi was in charge of farming. Everyone was very busy.

"There are still more than [-] tribes in Henan who have been refusing to surrender, and it seems that they have been secretly supported by Chang'an." Pang Qing reported the situation.

"It's not like it seems, it's definitely." Yang Zheng said very firmly without looking at the information handed over.

During the battle of Chang'an, Yang Zheng had a little understanding of Sima Fu.

He is indeed the core figure of the Sima family. When Sima Yi gave him the position of the head of the three princes, it was obviously Tuogu.

In other words, the level of people selected by Sima Yi will certainly not be much worse.

The change of Gaoping Mausoleum, the rise of Sima Shi to power, the beheading of Xia Houxuan, the succession of Sima Zhao, etc., all have Sima Fu behind them.

Just "repelling" the coalition forces this time, they played very beautifully. It was expected that he and Jiang Wei would not be able to cooperate sincerely.

"It's best if the tribes in Henan don't want to join us!" Yang Zheng looked cold, "wolves are wild only in the mountains, and soldiers have to be released to practice to be effective!"

Pang Qing was stunned, "The general mean to use Henan as a training ground?"

"Exactly! The army rested for a month, and after a month, the army will flow into Henan in turn, with 5000 people in batches, for half a month at a time, and crusade against all disobedient tribes!"

The various tribes in Henan and the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou echoed each other, and there must be a connection in secret, and it must be a long-term process to crusade against them.

But Yang Zheng didn't care, as long as he had the loop in his hand, he turned the Henan land into a cavalry hunting ground, devouring the flesh and blood of the Huns one bite at a time, and by the way broke his wrists with the Huns in Bingzhou.

Three birds with one stone.

Looting is the fastest way to develop.

Thinking of plundering, Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Now the Sima family's energy is focused on Huainan.

I remember that the three traitors in Huainan fought for more than a year in history.

So is it possible to send cavalry to harass the pass?

No, the strides can be bigger, and the cavalry can enter Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen and other places in Bingzhou from Jiuyuan County.

It can also be regarded as solidarity with Zhuge Dan.

The importance of the Hetao was revealed at this time. It can bypass important places such as Tongguan and Linjin and attack the important places in Hebei.

If Yanmen could be gnawed down, it would be like a sharp knife hanging over Sima's head.

The gameplay of farming civilization in the Central Plains is a competition for one city and one place, just like Zhuge Wuhou's Northern Expedition.

But grassland civilization does not need to be like this.

Running thousands of miles, you will eat the enemy, fight if you can, and leave if you can't.

The more Yang Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and ordered Wei Guan to return to Guzang, and the defense of Longyou was handed over to Yin Chun, Zhou Zhi, Li Te and others.

Lu Zhi happened to be in Tianshui to appease the people, and he was naturalized and farmed. With him, Longyou should be safe.

It is of no use for Wei Guan to stay in Longyou.

Five days later, Wei Guan rushed back from Nan'an.

"Why did the general call me in such a hurry?"

Du Yu also temporarily put down the matter of registering household accounts.

Yang Zheng pointed to the sand table and expressed his idea.

Wei Guan laughed loudly, "Using Henan to raise and train troops, if we implement them all the year round, our army will save the food and grass of five thousand cavalry, which is very good."

But Du Yu couldn't bear it, "If you harass Guanzhong and Bingzhou with your cavalry, the common people will suffer greatly, and the general's reputation will be damaged."

This matter is really difficult to handle, now is different from before, you have to pay attention to food appearance when doing anything.

That's how Tadun played back then, which aroused the resentment of Tian Chou and other Hebei scholars, and they united to cooperate with Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan.

"This matter is easy, you can lead the cavalry to raise the banner on the side of the Qing emperor, spread the call for Sima in the land of Bingzhou, and call on the people to migrate to Hetao. If this is the case, it will not be harassing the people, but saving the people from fire and water!" Turn, and the plan will come out.

Yang Zheng admired again, according to Wei Guan's approach, he completely stood on the side of justice and rescued the people who were enslaved by the Sima family.

Du Yu was also reminded, "You can issue an order to divide the land and reduce the tax, and the people of Bingzhou will naturally follow suit! And the general's heart to help the Wei family can also spread to the world, and he can also support Zhuge Dan in Huainan!"

The robbery, which was not very bright at first, immediately became a good thing in the open and honest once it turned in the minds of the two of them.

It's really high.

Yang Zheng laughed loudly, "That's right, copy a thousand copies of Boyu's call to the Sima family, and refresh Sima Zhao!"

It's all right to scold the Sima family.

Yang Zheng secretly decided that every year he would bring up the shitty things that the Sima family did, with gongs and drums. If Sima Fu and Sima Zhao died in shame, they would make a lot of money.

Of course, Sima Fu's shameless swearing at the loyal officials of the Great Wei, to live up to now, is definitely thick-skinned, and he would have died of shame if he wanted to die.

Sima Zhao is even more impossible.

However, in such a big world, there may be someone who secretly cares about Wei, and one day he will be awakened, which will be a big help.

Anyway, Yang Zheng will eat this pot of Sima's family for the rest of his life.

A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.

Liangzhou has no shortage of swords and spears and armor.

Stirrups have always been used in concealment, and only in decisive battles are heavy cavalry equipped with double stirrups put into battle.

Qingqi is still single stirrup, low saddle, equipped with shoes, which enhances the expeditionary ability of war horses.

The equipment is fairly good, but food and grass is a major problem.

In the final analysis, the attack on Chang'an this time was still insufficient food and grass.

It is impossible to go on an expedition to Henan and Bingzhou, with the baggage team hanging behind the buttocks.

But this problem is not difficult for Yang Zheng to solve.

The beef jerky eaten by the Mongolian cavalry, the Saqima made by the Eight Banners, the fried noodles of the soldiers...

There is so much to learn from history.

After getting along with Du Yu and Wei Guan for a long time, Yang Zheng understood a truth, as long as his thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Ever since Xingtai was established, Guzang has had a center, and Liangzhou's government affairs, big and small, are all handled by Xingtai. Only important matters will be selected and decided by Yang Zheng.

So the whole Gu Zang was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, but Yang Zheng was alone.

Also have time for these things.

Beef jerky is easy to say, cut into long strips, boiled, sprinkled with a handful of salt, dried, and exposed to the sun. There are not many other things in Liangzhou. The northwest air duct is enough, and it can be dried casually...

But just eating beef jerky is not enough.

In order to enrich the tastes of the soldiers, Yang Zheng tried to make saqima, raisins, wheat flour, millet, millet, glutinous rice, caramel...

Things are out, but the price remains high.

Raisins, glutinous rice, and caramel were not affordable for everyone in the era, and it was impossible to mass-produce them. Especially caramel, the production method was time-consuming, laborious and food-intensive.

If you can't get this thing out, you can only fry noodles.

Grind wheat, millet, millet, and beans into powder, add salt and cook in a tripod.

Simple and easy to make, convenient for mass production, it can be eaten dry or mixed with water.

For a long-distance raid, it’s not enough to eat only these. The nutrition is single. It seems that if you eat too much, you will lack some vitamins. Yang Zheng also has tea, which is also put into a cauldron and stir-fried twice. Sufficient for long-distance raids.

Ding is not conducive to stir-frying, so Yang Zheng drew a blueprint and asked Tiefang to make an iron pot.

In the "Ancient History Research" written by Qiao Zhou, a great Confucian in central Shu, there is a description of "the Yellow Emperor made a cauldron".

Kettles and retorts are actually pots of different shapes.

It is only used for boiling and steaming, and frying has not been invented yet.
