Lin Yue is an excellent general. Not only does he use his troops like a god, he also has a great sense of strategy and overall situation.
He has also been considering the serious shortage of soldiers.
Half of the two thousand people they brought were scattered along the way, because bandits and bandits are extremely rampant now, and they currently don't care about suppressing bandits at all. They can only leave one or two hundred soldiers in some larger cities, at least It can defend the city from being breached by bandits and ensure the basic safety of the residents.
As for defending against foreign enemies? Then there is no need to think about it at all.
But it's not possible to recruit soldiers, because food is too tight. You can't let the soldiers you recruit eat porridge every day, right?
That's going to be a big problem!
Therefore, even though it felt that Yanyun County's soldiers were actually quite sufficient, they did not dare to act rashly.
But when I was worried about the lack of glue, a soybean bag suddenly fell from the sky!
Xiao Chen ordered people eight hundred miles away to send a piece of good news that was much bigger than a soybean bag, saying that they had found the hidden granary in Niutoushan!
How much food is there?
A few boys from the Flying Wing Guards came. They said that they didn't know yet, because our General Zhuge was sending people to count. They didn't dare to talk nonsense, but by visual inspection, there were always around 100,000 stones, right?
How many! Someone as stable as Lin Yue was shocked.
There must be 100,000 shi, and even this small one can guarantee it. This is just rice, and other soybeans, black beans, sorghum rice, etc. have not been counted...
General Lin, you think it's strange that the food you have saved for so many years is not exhausted!
We also tried it for a while and found that the taste was almost the same as that of new rice. The dried meat was just too hard and salty, hard to bite and expensive for teeth! Dried fish doesn't even taste like fish. It's just salty and has a fishy smell, but it's still edible. Smelly fish and rotten shrimp are the enemy of white rice.
Dried vegetables are no longer good, they will rot as soon as they are boiled, so we all use them to dry and dry salt... Honey is the best preserved, and everyone likes to eat that, but eating too much is not good, it will make your throat sore, and it will be too greasy!
General Lin, what's wrong with you?
Are you listening to me?
I haven't finished talking yet. In addition to food, there are many other supplies, such as cowhide tents, cotton...the cotton is not good, it is full of dirt, but it can still be used after playing it again.
There are also weapons, armor, lead, gunpowder...
Come on, serve some seafood to these brothers! And Ross’s foreign wine is also here, so that the brothers can eat and drink well and have a good sleep!
I won’t accompany you, General. I have to go find Mr. Chen Jisheng...
Chen Jisheng and Liu Mofeng were overjoyed when they heard about this. So we will definitely have nothing to worry about during the winter this year!
Man, how much of my beard have I lost worrying about food?
Xiao Chen is really capable. Can he find this?
"Old man, it wasn't the boss who found him. It was a man named Fu Yan who did the magic and finally found him." Lin Yue didn't know Fu Yan either. He only knew that he was the leader of Xuanming Hall of Tianxuanhui.
"How to do it? Is that Fu Yan a Taoist priest?" Chen Jisheng is a Confucian master, but he doesn't believe in these messy things.
"It doesn't seem to be the case." Lin Yue only heard what the brother of Feiyiwei said. He didn't seem to say he was a Taoist priest. However, this man is really powerful and must know magic. When he comes, he should be treated to a drink. A meal of foreign wine.
Speaking of which, Murong Heng, Li Chang, Li Tanhua and our boss can't be found, but he is more capable. What is this if he isn't a god?
At least he's a half-fairy.
"He is not a Taoist priest, nor does he know magic." Liu Mofeng said with a smile, "He can only read Feng Shui. You two don't know anything. This Fu Yan is a disciple of the Ouyang family. There are four major families in the world..."
As a member of the Jin Yiwei, Liu Mofeng was naturally very familiar with the situation of the Tianxuan Society's rebels, especially Fu Yan, who was also the leader of the Xuanming Hall.
Belongs to the level of thieves and bandits.
The four major aristocratic families in the world are the Shangguan family, the Nangong family, the Murong family, and the Ouyang family.
The medicine of the Shangguan family is unparalleled in the world, the martial arts of the Nangong family is said to be invincible, the Yi study of the Murong family is amazing, and the metaphysics of the Ouyang family is mysterious and mysterious.
The Ouyang family's metaphysics is all-encompassing, with hundreds of varieties, among which there is a discipline called Feng Shui.
When Fu Yan was young, he studied Feng Shui in the Ouyang family for five years. He was extremely intelligent and had a strong understanding of Feng Shui. Although he only studied Feng Shui for five years, he had already achieved great success.
If he had stayed in the Ouyang family, he would have definitely become a famous Feng Shui master. However, it was a pity that he later secretly joined the Tianxuan Society and was expelled from the family when the Ouyang family found out.
The reason why Xiao Xinghan relied on him so much was because he had this magical skill. In fact, he also used Feng Shui to help Tianxuanhui do many great things.
Feng Shui is also all-encompassing, including all kinds of wonderful formations and mechanisms.
That's why he was able to peek through the Dragon Elephant Prajna Formation in She'etu, and with just a move of his mouth, he instructed Tie Kunlun and others to break the formation.
After wandering around Niutoushan for a few days, I saw the location of the granary.
Ouyang Xuanxue is so awesome!
"Haha, this is a talented person!" Chen Jisheng was overjoyed, "When he comes, I will treat him to a drink."
"Hmph, which one of the dozen hall masters in Tianxuanhui is not a talented person?" Liu Mofeng said, "It's a pity that he went astray and followed the wrong boss. Fu Yan is still a talented man who understands current affairs. Isn't he abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side?"
"Old man, Mo Feng, we have food now, and I think we can recruit soldiers. We have too few soldiers now!" This was what Lin Yue wanted to tell Chen Jisheng.
"Well..." Chen Jisheng naturally knew this situation, but he really didn't want Yanyun County, which had just settled down, to cause any trouble due to recruiting troops.
I am afraid that when the common people hear about recruiting troops, they will think that there is going to be a war.
"Old man, don't hesitate, this matter is imperative!" Lin Yue said, "We are recruiting soldiers, not conscription. Let everyone do it voluntarily, and we don't force it. I recruited thousands of people in Haining Bay in just three days. , there are more people without food here in Yanyun County, I think as long as the publicity is in place, there won't be any trouble."
"Well, okay, I agree in principle, but this matter is important. It's best to wait until Xiao Chen and Xiaosheng come back to discuss it carefully. You can recruit troops, but don't make too big a move, and don't involve too wide a scope. Just Let's try it out in Changshan Prefecture first, and the number of recruits must be controlled..." Chen Jisheng still agreed.
"Come on, I know what to do! I'll take the first step while you chat." Lin Yue turned around and left.
"Haha, Lin Yue's Coke is broken this time. He is more worried than you these days. Your old man is worried about food, and he is worried about soldiers. He walks back and forth on the city wall all day long, saying that once the Russians send troops to attack, he will There is no way a thousand people can defend this place no matter what." Liu Mofeng said with a smile.
"The Russians are mainly powerful in the navy, and they may not be very strong in land warfare. When the Bailong River freezes, his warships won't be able to cross... By the way, Bai Qing hasn't seen him for several days. Things can be done. Why don't you come and report to me?" Chen Jisheng said.
