Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Shu Zhao's words shocked everyone in the hall. According to this, Qi didn't have food for two months, so Qi had to starve to death? Ji Ling's deputy Chen Lan asked quickly: "Can't we buy some from outside the mountain?"

"If you really want to buy it, you need to buy at least 100,000 to 150,000 shi of grain to be enough for us to use. With so much grain, it is impossible for the Tang army to find us. If their army comes to attack, how long can our 20,000 army resist? Besides, even if we defeated Tang Jun once, our spring ploughing will definitely be affected. There will be no grain to collect at that time, and it will only be lingering for a few more months." Shu Zhao said with a wry smile;

"Then we can only reduce consumption and save food consumption as much as possible. Why don't we let a group of soldiers be disarmed and return to the fields?" Yan Xiang tentatively asked after pondering;

"Never!" Several generals headed by Ji Ling immediately objected: "Mr. Yan may not know that if the soldiers are disarmed and returned to the field, if they are recruited, they will only be mid-level troops at best, which is completely different from today's Royal Forest Army. The two thousand Yulin Army is now the only basis for us to settle down, so at the beginning I only agreed to disband the thousands of guards but I was unwilling to disband the twenty thousand Yulin Army because of this."

"This can only reduce the food for ordinary people!" Yuan Sidao;

"Not right!" Li Ling said: "Apart from our family members among the 40,000 people, they are the soldiers' family members. If the food for the family members is reduced, it will be quite detrimental to the soldiers' morale. Besides, four The food consumed by the families in one month is less than what is needed for 10,000 soldiers, and even if all of them are reduced, it will not help."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, then wait for the army to starve to death!" Yuan Si said angrily;

Everyone was embarrassed and speechless for a while.

For a long time, Ji Lingcai said: "General Li's words are reasonable. For the purpose, there is only one plan that can keep us going, and barely be able to support the harvest until next summer."

"General, please tell me!" Yuan Yao was energetic, and quickly asked; the rest of the people also looked at Ji Ling eagerly. Now these tens of thousands of troops are maintained by Ji Ling. With the support of 20,000 Yulin Army, Yuan Yao's position will be so stable.

"The Imperial Forest Army is our foundation. Withdrawal is absolutely not allowed. However, now that it is already in winter and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it is impossible for the Tang Army to enter the mountains at this time. So my solution is to leave only 5,000 people in the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army. Grain is distributed in full, and the food for the remaining 15,000 people is halved. In this way, more than 20,000 shi of food can be saved every month, and it will be able to last until tomorrow's summer harvest."

"General!" Chen Lan said anxiously: "It's just that the morale of the soldiers will inevitably drop, and the combat power of the soldiers will also be affected."

Li Ling also nodded in agreement with Chen Lan's statement.

"This is also a matter of no choice. When the time comes, the general will explain to the soldiers that the food saved is for everyone's family. As for the payment, it needs to be paid in full or even doubled. I wonder if there is a problem?"

The people of Shu Zhao were overjoyed: "There is no problem with the payment. Although it cannot be doubled every month, it can still be doubled in December, and there is no problem with the other materials."

"So there is no problem, besides, these five thousand people will be scheduled to rotate every ten days. Four thousand of them will be stationed in the county seat, and five hundred will be sent to Lianyun Town in the northwest and Caijiahe Town in the north. And you only need to survive the winter, and by next spring, you can send people into the mountains to catch all kinds of prey to increase the soldiers' food. In this way, the loss of morale and combat power should not be too great." After hearing what Shu Zhao said, Ji Ling was also relieved.

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, everyone was relieved, Yuan Yao also relieved: "So, the general and the adults have worked so hard. If there is nothing else, let's go away!"

"Nuo!" All the people clasped their fists and bowed back to Yuan Yao.

Outside the county government, everyone hurriedly left, and Shu Zhao chased him out of breath. Seeing that Ji Ling was about to turn on his horse, he walked a few steps quickly and grabbed the reins of Ji Ling's horse and said: "General! Is it convenient?"

The relationship between Ji Ling and Shu Zhao was relatively good. Seeing Shu Zhao holding him, he quickly said, "What's the important thing for Shu Zhao?"

Shu Zhao looked around, and Ji Ling understood, and said to his guard: "You wait and follow, I will say a few words to Master Shu!"

With that said, Ji Ling handed the horse rein to a guard, and walked forward quickly.

Seeing this, Shu Zhao hurried to catch up. When the guard was about 20 or 30 steps away from the two, Shu Zhao whispered: "This time the food is barely enough, but after the summer harvest? What about next winter? Has the general ever thought about it?"

After a few questions, Ji Ling was stunned.

"The general should know that the cultivated land just by relying on the valley around Yuqiancheng is not enough to provide food for these five to sixty thousand people. What's more, people need more than just food to survive. Did the general really think about the matter?"

Ji Ling's face was pale and speechless for a while, before he said for a long time: "I have understood Mr. Shu's meaning, but..."

"Shu Mou said it all, and ask the general to make a decision early!" After saying that, Shu Zhao bowed to Ji Ling and turned away.

Today’s Ji Ling is Yuan Yaojun’s Dinghai Shenzhen. Because of his persistence, Yuan Yaojun was able to take root in such lofty mountains. It is a pity that after Yuan Shu set himself on fire in Shouchun City, the Zhong dynasty had survived in name only. Tens of thousands of people are lingering here, but Ji Ling is a stupid and loyal person. His loyalty to Yuan Shu makes people think about nothing at all. He just wants to complete Yuan Shu's death and protect the prince Yuan Yao.

In fact, Shu Zhao wanted to leave as long as he broke through, but he and Ji Ling had known each other for many years, and he couldn’t bear to be so dusty. That’s why he followed Ji Ling all the way to the west, and he tried his best even though he persuaded him several times. Ji Ling, but Ji Ling is really too loyal. Now that's the end of the matter, Shu Zhao decided to persuade him again. If Ji Ling can listen to the persuasion, then Shu Zhao will make plans for him, but if he doesn’t let go anymore. , Shu Zhao decided to resign to Yuan Yao after the beginning of spring next year.

In fact, Shu Zhao's words had already caused turbulent waves in Ji Ling's heart. Ji Ling was loyal but not stupid. If he were a stupid person, how could he get such a high position under Yuan Shu. You must know that Ji Ling is a well-deserved general. Yuan Shujun is one of the best. There are many powerful generals in the army. If you have no real talents, how can you convince these powerful generals, just like Yuan Shu’s son-in-law? What about Fu Ma Ye, those soldiers still don't hang you.

Today, Shu Zhao's words are like a drum and a bell, once again ringing in Ji Ling's heart, yes, this year may be able to survive, but next year? What about the next year? Your Majesty, where are we going?
