Seeing Liu Yu coming to the warehouse door surrounded by people, Zhang Hu and Tan Xu looked a little nervous, and neither of them spoke.
"You two are not in the camp, what are you doing here." Liu Yu said with a gloomy face.
For Liu Bogen's two confidants, although Liu Yu took away the power to command the army, he still provided them with delicious food and drink after entering the city.
After hearing Liu Yu's unkind tone of voice, Tan Xu lowered his head with a guilty conscience and did not dare to speak at all. Zhang Hu glanced at him angrily, looked at Liu Yu with a pair of triangular eyes, and said loudly.
"Now that Xia Mi City has been conquered, all the goods stored here should be sealed up until Duke Yin arrives before they can be disposed of."
"I followed Duke Yin's order to attack the bandits in the west, and I have the right to decide. Now that I have finally conquered Xiami, if I don't use the food, clothing and goods here, how can I supply military supplies and reward the sergeants?" Liu Yu said loudly Drink to.
"Hmph, that's nice to say. You are obviously using the city's savings to win people's hearts for yourself. I think you want to set up your own business. You are betraying Duke Yin!"
Zhang Hu saw that Liu Yu did not refute, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his judgment was correct.
"Liu Yu, let me tell you, I will report everything you did to Duke Yin. When Duke Yin comes, you will wait to die!"
After listening to Zhang Hu's words, Liu Yu was not panicked or angry. At this time, he just couldn't understand why a stupid person like Zhang Hu could still live for such a long time.
Liu Yu glanced at the soldiers behind Zhang Hu, "Do you think so too?"
Those soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down when they saw Liu Yu staring at them. In the past few days of marching, Liu Yu had strict military laws. Two auxiliary soldiers had already been beheaded for violating the ban.
"General, the villain doesn't know anything."
"Yeah, we didn't know anything. We thought it was the general's order."
Seeing Liu Yu's face, these soldiers all denied it in unison.
"Bah, you idiots, if it weren't for Duke Ying, Liu Yu would have died a long time ago." Zhang Hu was very disgusted with these temporary auxiliary soldiers and continued to speak loudly.
"No one can enter the warehouse door today. If anyone doesn't listen to me, he doesn't take Duke Yin seriously. When Duke Yin comes, you will be there..."
Before Zhang Hu finished speaking, his voice stopped suddenly because his head was already flying.
"So damn noisy!"
Dong Ping said impatiently, and then wiped the blood on the sword blade with the clothes on the corpse.
"Ah~~~, general, have mercy on me. This was all Zhang Hu's idea. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. I never dare to be an enemy of the general. General, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me."
Tan Xu knelt down with a bang, knocked his head as if smashing garlic, and cried for mercy.
With just one look, Dong Ping could immediately understand what he meant. Such a perfect tacit understanding made Liu Yu feel good.
"Well, Zhang Hu died yesterday in a battle with the thieves. Tan Xu has done a good job in defeating the thieves, so he will reward him with a hundred pieces of silk first. The rest will be decided when Duke Yin comes." Liu Yu saw that Tan Xu was like this, so he did so. Give up.
On the same day, Liu Yu opened the county government granaries and warehouses, provided relief to the homeless and poor, and recruited soldiers in the city. By the next day, he had recruited nearly a thousand soldiers from poor backgrounds.
On the third day, in the morning.
When Liu Yu was still thinking about taking a look at the soldiers' training, he received news from two scouts one after another.
One is that Liu Bogen and Wang Mi defeated the reinforcements from Chengyang County outside Jiaodong City a few days ago. Although the internal response failed and failed to break through Jiaodong City, they looted and looted outside the city. This battle completely solved their worries.
The number led by Liu Bogen has swelled to 40,000, and they are now marching along the official road in the direction of Xiami. They will probably be able to cross the glue tomorrow and reach Xiami City in two days.
Another news is that scouts from the west of Xiami City reported that the Jin army from Beihai County has crossed the Weishui River and should be heading in the direction of Xiami City.
In today's situation, Liu Bergen must be thinking of a quick resolution.
If Liu Yu's troops are included, Liu Bogen's troops have exceeded 40,000, and the Jin army in Beihai County may be a little more than 10,000.
Therefore, in terms of numbers, Liu Bogen had the confidence to fight, and an army of 40,000 people would consume a lot of food and supplies every day. If Liu Bogen continued to stay in Xiami without an attack by the Jin army, he would be able to defeat Liu Bogen with just 40,000 mouths to eat.
However, Liu Bogen failed to break through Jiaodong City and did not obtain the armor equipment in the city's arsenal, so the number of armored soldiers among the more than 40,000 people was still the original six or seven thousand. The number of armored soldiers of the Jin army in Beihai County should also be six to seven thousand.
Moreover, putting on a set of armor does not mean you are a qualified soldier immediately. You also need to go through a lot of training, and many people in Liu Bogen's army have no training at all.
So if the two sides fight decisively, the outcome is still uncertain.
While Liu Yu continued to send scouts to strengthen surveillance of the Jin army in the North Sea, he also sent people to bring a large amount of supplies to Liu Bogen, telling Liu Bogen that it was not him that Liu Yu would not come to greet Duke Ying, and that the Jin army to the west was getting closer and closer. , if Liu Yu did not sit in the city, most of the wealthy families in the city would rebel again and fall into the arms of the Jin army again.
In fact, Liu Yu's inner hope was that the Jin army saw that Donglai's soldiers were outnumbered, and then retreated in the face of difficulties, so that a war could be avoided.
If this is really the case, Liu Yu will have enough time to continue training his soldiers during the march.
Turning these current rabble into qualified soldiers capable of water, fire, sword and gun is really what Liu Yu looks forward to most.
