Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 30 Prepare the army for war and go to Runan

() Everything is ready, just waiting for the expedition.Liu Qi assembled his troops and prepared his army for battle. In two days' time, he will go out to worship heaven.Liu Qi seized the time and enjoyed the last tenderness.

Liu Qi put his arms around his wife Cai Yuer, wrapped his arms around his slender waist, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and looked like a gifted scholar and beautiful woman. "Well, Yu'er, I'm going to fight again the day after tomorrow. This time I'm just going to fight against a few bandits, and there's absolutely no danger."

Cai Yu knew that her husband's important matter was the most important thing, so she didn't say anything silly like 'can you not go', just put her slender wrist around Liu Qihu's waist, and said in a low voice: "Husband, go early and return early." Then he seemed to be "provocative" Rubbing Liu Qi's 'lifeblood', it made Liu Qi angry for a while.Seeing his wife pretending to be innocent and innocent, Liu Qi couldn't bear it anymore and kissed her bright red lips.After the passionate kiss, he hugged the nephrite jade in his arms, and put his wife Cai Yu on the big bed, ignoring any 'white rixuan yin', and began to 'conquer' internally.

After some wind and rain, Liu Qi comforted him and said some love words to himself, and then left.Liu Qi's mansion is divided into several areas, the east is governed by government, the west is governed by the army, and the hall in the south is where Jingzhou officials hold meetings.The master of the house, Jiang Wan, was handling and dispatching the last supplies and weapons to the west.Fortunately, there are first-class talents to deal with it, so Liu Qi can be happy and leisurely, otherwise it would be a headache to watch all these things every day.Seeing Liu Qi coming to inspect, Jiang Wan hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was stopped by Liu Qi.Liu Qi smiled and said: "I just took a look, Gong Yan, how is our army food?"

Jiang Wan, who is usually honest and even a little dull, became excited when he mentioned the aspects related to his own government affairs, and said with dancing, "I have dispatched [-] shi of grain and grass to Xinyang City, enough for the army for more than two months. The rest will wait until When the army is marching, they can also dispatch five thousand shi of food and grass, and the ordnance will also be sent to Xinyang City."

Liu Qi couldn't stop nodding when he heard the words, and praised: "Good! Good! Gong Yan is really my Xiao He!" A great talent, with Jiang Wan, handling some government affairs that Liu Qi doesn't want to handle, Jingzhou can be in order.It's really my confidant!My Xiao He!Guard the rear and provide food and grass for our army.

"After this battle, how much food and grass do I have in Jingzhou?" What Liu Qi really cares about is the next battle.

Jiang Wan didn't even read the recorded books, but opened his mouth and said, "Sir, the several battles have consumed a lot of food and grass in Jingzhou. Now there are still a million stones, of which 70 are in Xiangyang and 30 are in Jiangling. For supply, Jiangxia, Chaisang, Wancheng, Zigui and other war fronts each have grain and grass ranging from 3 shi, which can supply [-] people for a year."

Then Jiang Wan said excitedly: "According to the young master's suggestion, the grain production in various places has increased greatly. Some counties have even doubled. The four counties in Jingnan were invaded by the Yellow Turban bandits a few years ago, and large areas of land were barren. In Pingding, one million hectares of fertile land can be obtained. Now the villagers and soldiers in the field can get grain and grass this year according to the ratio of three taxes and one. With the addition of a county payment, they can get grain and grass after removing the needs of the guard soldiers in each city. 300 million shi, this is a net surplus, which can be used by an army of [-] for ten years."

Seeing Jiang Wan's desire to continue talking, Liu Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, Gong Yan, I understand generally, that is, this autumn, our army will send [-] troops, attack thousands of miles, and fight for half a year. Is that enough?"

Jiang Wan frowned and calculated, holding the abacus invented by Zhuge Liang, he flicked it for a while, and said: "One hundred thousand troops, twenty thousand good horses, ten thousand poor horses, cattle and donkeys, at least 20 civilian husbands, and 70 grain and grass needed. But this year In summer, you can get 200 million shi of grain and grass."

"It's far enough, don't worry, my lord!" Jiang Wan made a calculation for a while and came to a conclusion.

Liu Qi was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's good. Fortunately, I let Zhuge Liang invent the wooden cow and horse, which saved a lot of manpower and animal power, otherwise the number would be even bigger."

"That's right! Kong Ming is really a genius in the world, astronomy and geography, military and government affairs, and many miscellaneous studies. He knows everything. It's a pity that he hasn't worked for the young master." Jiang Wan sighed.

Liu Qi was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, it's too early to become an official, Kong Ming is only a mere man. Pang Tong has already left the mountain, and Kong Ming will not be long." Confidence is exactly Liu Qi's strength.The world is so big, only Liu Qi and Liu Bei are the masters of Zhuge Liang.But it's a pity that Liu Bei is still wandering, living in no fixed place, who will serve him! ! !

After realizing his strength, Liu Qi was in a good mood, humming a tune, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walked away with grand steps.

Thirty miles outside Xiangyang City, Weiyan Camp.On the general stage, Wei Yan is doing the final mobilization.The soldiers below stood upright, majestic and full of murderous aura, they were really elites in all battles!All the soldiers were dressed in leather armor, holding swords and shields or spears, with excited faces, listening to the words of the general Wei Yanxun.

"The remnants of the Yellow Scarves in Runan, Liu Bigong, frequently violated our borders in Jingzhou, robbed me of food, attacked my city, and robbed my wife and daughter. What do you think we should do?" Wei Yan waved his long sword and said loudly.

The soldiers below were also furious, the mere thieves dared to invade Jingzhou, even Cao Cao and Sun Ce are honest now and dare not at all!Not to mention you!The soldiers were enraged and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Wei Yan also shouted: "I can't hear what you are talking about. Have you not eaten for a few days? Are you all soft-headed? How do I teach you normally?"

The soldiers shouted the usual slogan with all their strength: "Anyone who dares to offend me in Jingzhou will be killed no matter how far away!"

"Okay! This is my real man in Jingzhou! If you are a man, you have to defend your home and country! Today, my lord and governor, Liu Qi, has agreed to my request, leading my troops to have [-] elite soldiers, [-] cavalry, and armored and thick shield soldiers (broken shields) The name of the camp) one thousand, send troops to Runan, and completely pacify Runan in the first battle."

"Okay!" The soldiers cheered one after another.

"The lord has spoken. To conquer Runan, everyone will be rewarded with ten catties of wine and meat. The first to conquer Runan will be promoted to a higher level, rewarded with a hundred gold, a hundred rolls of cloth, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land! The rest will also be rewarded for their meritorious deeds." .” Wei Yan flickered.

"We will fight to the death!!!" The soldiers swore and shouted, the momentum shook the sky, and the murderous aura rushed straight to the sky.

Seeing that everyone's morale had been raised, Wei Yan asked all the soldiers to continue training under the leadership of their respective lieutenants.I went to Liu Qi's mansion to return to my life.

Wei Yan had just arrived at Liu Qi's mansion, and said to the guard outside the door: "Please send an order to the lord, saying that General Huwei Wei Yan is asking to see you." Come in."

In the small meeting room on the side of the hall, Liu Qi was flirting with the pretty maid, and when he saw Wei Yan approaching, he didn't let him avoid it.Asking Wei Yan to sit down, Liu Qi personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wei Yan. While pouring the tea, he said, "It's been a year, and I still remember when you were just promoted. Let you fight all the unconvinced captains, but no one can survive twenty rounds in your hands."

Seeing the young master pouring tea himself, Wei Yan was terrified and even more moved.Who in the army can get this honor.Only I, Wei Yan, the confidant that the young master single-handedly pulled out!
