Halfway through the unitary hour.
The scorching sun is fading to the west.
The sunset glows in the sky.
The Yan Army's temporary camp illuminated by the setting sun.
There is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere everywhere.
After Fang finished a hard day's work, the officers and soldiers of the Yan army had dinner.
Groups of small and medium-sized people sat around the tents, chatting freely about their family's shortcomings, ambitions and so on.
Just when all the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army were enjoying the rare quiet and peace under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Chang Sanjin, who was responsible for the entire Yan army's logistical affairs outside the Great Wall, carried a thick stack of account books to the outside of the Chinese army's tent.
After Xu Yi agreed.
Chang Sanjin immediately walked to the outside of the Chinese army's tent with the thick stack of account books in his arms.
Fang Yi stepped into the Chinese army's tent.
Leader Wen Xin walked towards him and took the thick stack of account books from his hand.
"I will finally pay my respects to the prince."
With nothing in his hands, Chang Sanjin walked three steps away from his desk.
Then he faced Xu Yi, who was sitting behind the desk, and bowed deeply, clasping his fists and saluting.
"No gift."
Xu Yi, who had just sent off the zombies to chase King Haman, waved his hand slightly and then motioned to the leader of Wenxin to take a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Chang Sanjin immediately leaned over and clasped his fists in thanksgiving, and then took the bed from the leader Wenxin.
"Have dry food, sugar, salt, medicine packs, medical wine, etc. been distributed properly?"
After Chang Sanjin sat down on the bed, Xu Yi looked through the account books in front of him and asked slowly.
"Go back to your lord."
"Dry food, sugar, salt, emergency medicine kits and other items have been distributed to various departments."
"When the candles are extinguished tonight, they can be distributed to every soldier."
"According to your military orders."
"The soldiers of the three battalions of Fengzhen, Xiandeng and Xuanjia."
"Everyone has ten days of dry food, a pot of white sugar, a bag of white crystal rock sugar, a pot of snowflake salt and ten bags of emergency medicine."
"Fanduoyan's left guard and Duoyan's right guard are soldiers."
"Everyone has ten days of dry food, a bag of white crystal rock sugar, half a bottle of snowflake salt, and six bags of emergency medicine."
"The rest, such as medical wine, large medical kits, etc., have been distributed to the medical soldiers of each department."
"There are grains, white sugar, white crystal rock sugar, snowflake salt, and various medicine packages in the hilly camp."
"As per normal needs."
"It can barely be used by the soldiers and civilians who stay in the hilly camp for a month and a half."
Chang Sanjin pondered for a few breaths after hearing the words, and then answered truthfully.
"When will the next batch of grain, sugar, salt and various medical packages be delivered?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but pause slightly while flipping through the account books, and then asked again.
"Go back to your lord."
"Calculate it based on the footsteps of the civilians who left earlier."
"The next batch of grain, sugar, salt, and various medical packages should arrive in about a month."
Chang Sanjin immediately answered truthfully after hearing the words.
"After the civilian men who transported the spoils of war return from Guangning City."
"Immediately mobilize a thousand soldiers and three thousand civilians to rush to Guangning City."
"We will strive to transport another batch of grain, grass, sugar, salt and various medical packages to the hilly camp in about half a month."
"Tomorrow when Gu leads his army out of camp, he will leave fifteen hundred cattle and sheep for you."
"Captain Qu will lead his army to the hilly camp in about a month or so."
"Wait until Captain Qu leads his army to the hilly camp."
"You need to prepare enough dry food for twenty days for the eight thousand soldiers led by Captain Qu."
"At that time."
"Except for half a month's worth of supplies left in the hilly camp."
"The remaining sugar, salt, various large and small medical packets, saltpeter and other items."
"All of them will be transferred to Captain Qu."
Xu Yi paused slightly while flipping through the account books, then raised his head and looked at Chang Sanjin not far away.
He gave the order with a solemn look on his face.
Calculate the time.
After he received a secret letter from the head of the Ten Heavenly Stems under the command of King Xu Zhen of Jin Dynasty, and made the decision to attack Huanglong of the Xiongnu.
Immediately, he ordered people 800 miles away to rush to Juyang City to dispatch troops.
They will probably arrive at Wang Camp outside Juyang City today and tomorrow.
What if Qu Baotian immediately mobilized troops and horses and prepared the food, grass, baggage and other materials needed along the way after receiving the military order to mobilize troops.
Then he will definitely be able to lead his troops out of the fortress and reach the important logistics area of Yehuling in about a month.
At that time, the next batch of grain, salt, sugar, medical wine, and various medical packages will also arrive at the Yehuling logistics hub.
By then.
The eight thousand Yan army soldiers led by Qu Baotian could recover after a short rest.
Bring the dry food, sugar, salt, medicinal wine and other supplies prepared by the Yehuling logistics center and travel lightly.
He rode straight towards the Yan army soldiers who were opening the way from the front.
Until then.
This was when the Yan army really attacked the Xiongnu Huanglong.
The Yan army temporarily camped in the Chinese army's tent.
Upon hearing this, Chang Sanjin quickly stood up from his bed.
Then he faced Xu Yi, who was sitting behind the desk, and bowed deeply, clasping his fists tightly and saluting.
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Captain Qu led his troops to the hilly camp."
"The general will prepare enough dry food for him for twenty days!"
Chang Sanjin assured loudly with a solemn look on his face.
"Your words make me so lonely."
Xu Yi chuckled and waved his hand slightly to indicate that Chang Sanjin didn't need to be so polite.
The words are over.
After Chang Sanjin straightened up.
Xu Yi couldn't help but straighten his face, and then looked at Chang Sanjin again.
"Previous war profits taken from the Huns."
"Such as scimitars, arrow clusters, spear heads, armor and other weapons and iron weapons."
"As well as the weapons, iron tools and other items damaged by our soldiers in the battle."
"Everything was transported to Juyang City a few days ago."
"After all those weapons and iron weapons are remanufactured."
"It will be accompanied by the latest weapons, armor and other items."
"We will transport them together to the dock in Qiaotoubao Town outside Guangning City."
"Wait until those weapons, armor and other items arrive."
"It must be transported to the hilly camp in the shortest possible time."
"at the same time."
"Order people to send the news to the army as soon as possible."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then spoke again and gave the order.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Sanjin immediately faced Xu Yi again, leaned deeply and clasped his fists heavily in salute.
"It's getting late."
"You have also worked hard for a full day."
"Let's go back to our tent and rest first."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then spoke.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"I'll take my leave first."
Upon hearing this, Chang Sanjin immediately leaned over and clasped his fists in salute, then left.
Wait until Chang Sanjin's figure completely disappears behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi picked up the tea cup next to the desk and drank the strong tea in one gulp.
After a cup of slightly cool strong tea enters the stomach.
Xu Yi immediately focused all his attention on the thick stack of account books in front of him.
I read it carefully and slowly.
It is not difficult to see from the thick stack of account books.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army went through several battles since leaving the fortress.
However, the overall finance of the Yan army outside the Great Wall was in huge surplus.
That is: income from captured war profits far exceeds that of grain, salt, and sugar.
, medicinal materials and other expenditures.
Although the number of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and other livestock captured in the all-out battle with the corpse-chasing king Haman was far less than before.
However, the number of war horses, weapons, armor and other items captured from the Corpse Chaser King's army was twice as high as before.
In general.
Whether it is from the perspective of annihilating all the enemy troops on the battlefield, or from the perspective of capturing the corpses and chasing King Haman alive.
Or from the perspective of weapons, armor, war horses and other trophies captured after the war.
A previous battle.
The Yan army all deserved a comprehensive victory.
And now.
With the major changes in the overall strategy of the Yan army.
And Xu Yi once again mobilized eight thousand soldiers and horses from Yan to go out.
More than a month at most.
The number of soldiers in the three major battalions of the Yan Army in Mobei will suddenly increase to 18,000.
Among these 18,000 people, except for the 2,000 soldiers led by Chang Sanjin who stayed behind at the logistics center of Yehuling.
The rest need to go to the battlefield and fight bloody battles with the Huns.
Until then.
The Yan army's three battalions of sixteen thousand soldiers must win every battle.
At least in big battles, we must win every battle.
This way.
Only then can the good situation gained previously be preserved.
otherwise.
Once the Yan Army's three battalions of 16,000 soldiers were dragged to the Mobei battlefield.
Not only could the Yan army not maintain the good situation they had gained previously.
Even Yan's finances will be greatly affected by this.
This is the relationship between Xu Yi and the officers and soldiers of the Yan army and the people of Yan.
The same is true between Li Guangli and Xia Houdong's Zhou army officers and Zhou people's livelihood.
And now.
As the Zhou army officers and soldiers under Li Guangli and Xia Houdong continued to be defeated.
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty continued to increase its troops in Mobei and recruited civilians.
They even continued to increase taxes on the people of the Zhou Dynasty.
Although Xu Yi has never seen any of the court accounts.
But it is not difficult to infer the current financial situation of the Zhou court based on past knowledge.
If nothing unexpected.
At this time, the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty was probably completely empty.
As a result, Dazhou's finances completely moved towards a comprehensive deficit.
Emperor Zhengde sent more taxes to the people.
Although it can solve the temporary financial crisis.
But it is difficult to solve the fundamental financial problem.
And as Emperor Zhengde continued to increase taxes and forcefully levy civilians.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who were already living in dire straits, would inevitably rise up one after another because they were desperate.
Until then.
As a result, the entire Zhou Dynasty will inevitably be deeply involved in internal and external troubles.
The entire Zhou Dynasty will also be completely plunged into war.
Based on the information currently available.
This day is probably not far away.
And there is a great possibility that it will explode with the change of course of the Yellow River in the near future.
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi couldn't help but completely stopped flipping through the account book in front of him.
Then he looked up at Yan Di's direction with worried eyes.
"A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse after all."
"No matter how weak the Great Zhou Dynasty is, it suffers from internal and external troubles."
"If there hadn't been a strong invasion by foreign tribes and chaos among the aristocratic families."
"Just relying on the people to rise up and rebel."
"It will be impossible to endanger the capital Chang'an within a few years."
"As long as the capital Chang'an is safe."
"No matter how ambitious Dai Wang Qi even is."
"He would never dare to wage war against Yan."
"Otherwise, he will first lose his righteousness and then lose the world."
"This way."
"With the abilities of Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze, Yang Xianan and others."
"Plus the three thousand elite soldiers and horses outside Juyang City."
"The land of Yan will be free from worries in a short time."
Xu Yi looked at the direction of Yan Di, and the worry in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Instead, there is a deep and profound meaning.
After more than ten breaths.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, and then focused his eyes and mind on the thick stack of account books in front of him again.
...
...
I do not know how long it has been.
The night is getting darker and cooler.
The Yan army's temporary camp was brightly lit in the central army tent.
Xu Yi was still sitting on the Grand Master's chair, flipping through the thick stack of account books in his hand.
Just as Xu Yi twisted the paper again and turned over a page of the account book.
The sound of several horse hooves suddenly came from outside the quiet Chinese army tent.
"Owner."
"Go to the camp first to scout Yiqubo Commander Cao Zezhi to ask for an audience."
Xu Yifang raised his head and looked outside the Chinese army's tent.
The leader who asked the heart came out of his tent in a hurry.
"allow."
When Xu Yi heard this, he raised his hand and folded a few pages of the account book.
Then he stood up from the Taishi's chair, stretched his muscles slightly and sat down on the Taishi's chair again.
Not long after.
Cao Zezhi, the chief scout of Yiqu Bo who first ascended the camp, followed the leader of Wenxin to the Chinese army's tent.
"Your Majesty."
"There is no trace of enemy troops within ten miles of where King Corpse Chaser previously set up camp."
"Gongsun Quchang and Chen Quchang have now led their troops to densely cover the area of more than seventy miles from where King Zhichu previously set up camp to our camp."
"Once the enemy appears within more than seventy miles."
"Our army will definitely discover its traces as soon as possible."
First, he went to the camp to scout Qu Yi and Qu Bo Chang Cao Zezhi walked five steps away from the first writing case.
Then he faced Xu Yi, who was sitting behind the previous writing desk, and leaned deeply, clasping his fists, to report.
"I already know."
"Let's go back to camp and rest first."
"We will set off with the army at nine o'clock tomorrow."
Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, and then spoke.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zezhi immediately leaned over and clasped his fists in salute, then turned around and left.
After Cao Zezhi's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Xu Yi stood up from the Grand Master's chair again.
Then he walked to the map of Mobei hanging on one side of the tent.
He stared very deeply at the place marked on the map where the Corpse Chaser King's army once camped for nearly a quarter of an hour.
In the map, where the Corpse Chaser's army once camped more than seventy miles away, the terrain within a radius of fifty miles was extremely flat.
There are no mountains or hills to block each other, nor are there any wide rivers or deep ditches to separate them.
Although the terrain is so flat, there is no dangerous terrain to defend.
But it is extremely suitable for large-scale cavalry army operations.
And here.
Surprisingly, this is the battlefield that Xu Yi finally decided on in yesterday's military meeting to fight against the allied forces of Hunxie King Jiankun and Xinri King Wutusi.
It is different from the previous battle with Haman, the corpse-chasing king.
In this battle, Xu Yi did not insist on annihilating the so-called coalition forces of Hunxie Wang Jiankun and Xinri Wang Wutusi.
All they wanted was to completely defeat the nearly 40,000 Xiongnu coalition forces led by Hunxie King Jiankun and Xinri King Wutusi.
Thus, in the process of chasing the enemy's defeated troops, more results can be achieved with minimal casualties.
This way.
Flat prairie.
Naturally, it is more suitable as a battlefield than the hills and mountains of Yehuling.
As for the so-called disparity in military strength.
Not to mention that the Yan army went into battle this time with more than 13,000 troops.
Even if we face Hunxie this time
The nearly 40,000 Xiongnu coalition forces led by Wang Jiankun and Xinri Wang Wutusi only had 8,000 soldiers from the three battalions of the Yan army.
Inside the entire three camps of the Yan Army outside the Great Wall.
Up to the generals of the three major battalions of the Yan army.
Down to the soldiers of each of the three major camps of the Yan army.
No one had any fear of war in their hearts.
And this is not the so-called blind arrogance.
It's about the fine pieces of military equipment and hard training day in and day out.
And the real confidence brought by winning several battles!
