He touched his arm. There wasn't much flesh on it, but his wrist was slightly thicker than an ordinary person's. He could barely hold it with one hand. Yang Gan couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
"A humble position is not high, Jing Huai wants to see the general~~!" The voice came from the military tent outside.
Yang Qian immediately put on a silk plainclothes and walked out.
"Huh? So fast?"
Wu Gaolang smiled and said, "General, we have brought back more than 2,000 uninjured prisoners of the Liao Kingdom."
Being able to exchange prisoners, Yang Qian was full of surprise. Although there were hundreds and thousands of people, it didn't seem to be tens of thousands, so many, so nice.
But each one represents unlimited wealth.
If an adult can cultivate 50 acres of land, and with the addition of cattle and semi-mechanized harvesting and seeding machinery, it would be just as easy to farm a hundred acres.
You can harvest 500 shi of corn in one season and 1,000 shi in a year.
After extracting four levels of personal rent and removing one level of tax, there are still three levels of profit, which is 300 shi, which translates into 36,000 kilograms of grain.
Nima, this is just one person. If it were ten thousand people, that would be three million stones and three hundred and sixty million catties of grain.
This is the most terrifying thing. As the number of farmers and slaves in Zhuangzi increases, there will only be too much food to eat in the future.
In fact, there is no shortage of people in Yuntong now. What is needed is to reclaim wasteland and dig canals. As long as the canals are opened, there will be an additional 40,000 to 50,000 hectares of fertile land.
In ancient times, only by ensuring enough food could we develop other things. Otherwise, everything would be like a mirror in the mirror.
A drought, flood or locust plague can bring the entire county back to the Stone Age, no, to the primitive era, where cannibalism was the norm.
Thinking about being able to sleep on food in the future, Yang Qian's inner sense of security was about to explode. He wiped the crystal corners of his mouth and asked.
"What was Shang Guo's reaction when he saw the weapons we sent?"
Jing Huai said, "The other generals were very happy, except the general. His expression was very strange, but it passed briefly. It's just that he didn't seem to be as happy as I imagined."
Yang Gan's eyes flashed coldly. If there are any fish in the lake, if you can't see clearly, you might as well throw a stone down. You may not know how many fish there are, but you can know whether there are any fish.
"This person will definitely be a serious problem for our Xia Kingdom in the future."
Yang Qian suddenly said seriously, "If Shang Guo is to be annihilated at this time, how sure are you of capturing Li Lu alive?"
The two looked at each other in shock, Wu Gaolang raised his hand and said hurriedly, "General, with the strength of our troops at this time, we are no match for Shang Guo, and Li Lu is a famous general in the Central Plains. He has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, without a single defeat. I’m not completely sure, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with.”
Jing Huai also advised, "Moreover, if someone runs out, we will be in big trouble. Even Shangguo will tell the world that we have torn up the covenant. What if, what if, if Shangguo, Liaoguo, Xingguo join forces to resist?" Xia, we are passive."
Yang Qian sat down slowly, feeling extremely entangled in his heart. The unification of the world was the general trend and would not change due to the influence of anything.
Under such a general trend, whoever takes the lead will be beaten, that is, as the saying goes, the first bird will be shot. It seems that I still think about the war between the two countries too simply.
"Damn it, Yu'er didn't come, Mu Qing didn't come either, and there's no one who can negotiate." Yang Qian cursed secretly.
Shang Guo has a camp, but it is in the wild. There is no natural danger for the city to defend. Li Lu is a good fighter. If he has to defend the city in the future, it will really be like a dog biting a hedgehog and there will be nowhere to start.
With a roll of his eyes, Yang Qian immediately wrote an official document on the desk, stamped it, stuffed it into a bronze seal and handed it to Wu Gaolang.
"This sealed letter was quickly sent to Zhuangzi and handed over to Yu'er in person."
"No~~~!"
Wu Gaolang did not dare to neglect. After going down, he personally selected a scout and asked him to carry five horses each. After eating, he set off immediately.
When the scout saw that it was an important official document, he quickly picked up the food. Some of the scouts even opened cans and kept adding meat to his big bowl. With such an urgent official document, no one knew when the next meal would be available. After loading a few more bottles of kumiss and a butcher shop, we headed north.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Xiaoyu in Yuntong County was constantly sorting out information and managing personnel.
As the intelligence system becomes larger and larger and handles more and more things, it is necessary to regularly train personnel and do ideological work. It is nothing more than a big stick with sweet dates, and their credit and value need to be recognized. qδ.o
Of course, she is not so busy that she is not busy all the time. She is very satisfied with her current working status, having both busy and leisure time, and combining work and rest.
On this day, after settling the matter, Xiao Yu and Mu Qing were drinking tea on the balcony, while a scout delivered the letter in a dusty manner.
After Xiao Yu opened the letter, his eyes widened and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Mistress, take him down and entertain him with delicious food and drinks~~~!"
"No~!"
The mistress led the scout to the special reception area, took out a handful of silver beans from his arms and handed them to him.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest during this period. I'll call you when I get the official document."
The soldier weighed the heavy silver beans in his hand and said happily, "Thank you, thank you..."
Although the general's scouts were a little tiring, they were very fruitful. Every time they went to a place, they could eat well, drink well, and take hot baths.
Although he was happy, during the meal, the scout still held the chopsticks, leaned his head on the table, and fell asleep...
After handing the letter to Mu Qing, Xiao Yu was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Master, we are finally going to take action against Shang Guo."
Mu Qing's eyes couldn't help but shrink violently when he looked at the contents of the letter.
"Compile all the intelligence on Shang Guo, and allocate 50,000 gold from the private treasury to bribe officials, focusing on investigating Li Lu's information and all the battles he has fought..."
"What is Yang Gan going to do? Is it possible that he really wants to go to war with Shangguo, using my own county to fight the strongest vassal state? Madman, madman..." Mu Qing threw the official document to the ground and returned it. He stepped on his feet in frustration.
Just when she thought Xiao Yu would stop him, she found that Xiao Yu's face was filled with a sick smile, like the feeling of being suddenly released from pressure for a long time.
Mu Qing was silent. She knew a little about Xiao Yu's life experience. After being silent, she said, "Calm down. If we attack Shang Guo now, Yang Qian will be in a very difficult situation."
"I understand that it has nothing to do with me whether Shang Guo is destroyed or not. As long as that bastard dies, I can pay homage to the innocent souls of hundreds of people in my family."
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, she immediately found a thick pile of information and began to organize it. In fact, there was no need to organize it. No matter how many pieces of Shang Guo's information came in, she had already sorted it out.
Li Lu was very famous, but he was not the one to be cared for, so orders were still needed to collect all his information.
On the battlefield between the two countries, Yang Gan sent away another 10,000 people. In the past half month, Shang Guo violently attacked the border and took in more than 8,000 wounded people.
It is said that the cruelty of the siege battle far exceeded Yang Gan's imagination. Countless soldiers were as brave as ants and rushed forward time and time again, only to be beaten back by Liao Guo again and again.
For this purpose, a ladder was used, and Liao Guo also brought out the bed crossbow and destroyed the ladder. Some soldiers climbed up the wall, but were kicked out mercilessly.
The moment he fell to the ground, if he was unlucky, his brain would burst or his neck would be broken.
Others were even worse. The hot golden juice poured down, and the Shangguo soldiers below were burned to the point of screaming. If Xiaguo hadn't endured the nausea, these people would have died long ago.
Extensive burns and deep infection cannot be saved. It is extremely difficult to save them. Even with the use of burn medicine and allicin, the mortality rate is very high.
Every time a person dies, it means that Yang Gan will lose 36,000 kilograms of grain, which is 18 tons of grain. His heart feels like it is being pulled every time.
After the wounded left, Yang Gan immediately summoned his men to analyze the changes in the battle situation.
Wu Gaolang reported, "General, given the current situation, Liao's morale has dropped a lot. It is estimated that he will break through in another half month. The general is like a god with his troops. He can break holes in such hard-to-gnaw bones." Come."
Looking at a carefully drawn map, Yang Gan pointed to a large piece of land behind Guanguan Pass and said in a deep voice.
"Trouble, the Liao State has a large territory. Once this great pass is broken, you can drive straight in. What do you think?"
Jing Huai said, "Although we can break the barrier, Shangguo's food supply is low. For the wounded, they have begun to cut down on food and grass. Although it is not obvious, you can already feel it."
"According to my humble estimation, after breaking through the barrier, we can occupy at most one place. If there are more, I'm afraid the troops will be dispersed and it will be difficult to protect the victory."
Yang Qian let out a long breath and kept shaking his head, "It is indeed good for Shang Guo to break through Gu'an Pass, but occupying Liao Guo's city is of no benefit to our country."
Everyone fell silent, and they really couldn't think of any good solution.
"What does that mean?" Krisna asked.
Yang Gan explained, "My idea is to let them fight and consume each other. We accept wounded soldiers, but we cannot let one side gain too much advantage. Once there is a prominent advantage, it means that the war is about to end, and we can fight for another month at most."
Krisna smiled and said, "Isn't that very simple? Last time you asked me to investigate the Shangguo Grain Road, we have already found it. According to past experience, they will send another batch of grain and grass in three days."
Yang Gan's eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "How many people are there at each time?"
"5,000~8,000 people."
"Damn~~~!"
Yang Gan cursed secretly, it was simply impossible for 5,000 to 8,000 people to not be able to escape even one of them.
If you can wipe out half of them, thank God. If any deserters find the Shangguo camp and send troops to come back for reinforcements, it will cause a big fuss.
"Wugao Lang, Jing Huai, tell me if there is any way to annihilate them all."
The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads. Not only were their troops stronger than their own, they would be able to defeat them, but it would be very difficult to annihilate them all.
"Bang~~!"
Yang Gan slapped the case and said angrily, "Is there really nothing you can do?"
"I have an idea." Krisna smiled.
