The current military force left in Nanyang City includes three clones, three generals, 1,344 private soldiers, 273 private soldier commanders, 56 private soldier captains, 14 private soldier commanders, and 7 private soldier ministers.
There are more than 8,000 characters and more than 400,000 private soldiers, nearly 100,000 basic subordinates, 30 million "Hypo Legions", 60 million reserved generals, 100,000 Nanyang soldiers and 3 million Yellow Turbans.
Of the nearly 100 million troops, more than 90 million need military supplies to support them. Only a very small number of troops do not need military supplies. The current military supplies in Nanyang City are only enough to maintain these troops in the city, and then they have to be dragged out to fight.
, the military supply problem must be solved quickly. Relying on Nanyang alone is no longer enough to maintain the military supplies needed for the war. However, Nanyang
Such a large county also needs to be garrisoned with a large number of troops. Whether it has the military supplies to drag out for fighting is not very important. Moreover, the most important thing now is time, and strive to set up a favorable situation in the shortest possible time.
, after all, the court has not yet reacted, and it is time to take the initiative. If we have to wait until enough food is collected, the day lilies will be cold.
However, I still have an army of 500,000 that I can use. This free force should not be used in vain. I began to think about how to use this part of the force.
So now I started to look carefully on the map, looking for places where I can use troops. After looking around, I really saw the clues. For a long time, I couldn't help but sigh, it still depends on man-made things.
My method of using this force is to send it to Songshan Mountain, advance along the mountains, and at the same time hunt, fish and gather, and prepare military supplies for the subsequent troops. On average, each person needs to prepare military supplies for 200 people every day. But if then
The other troops will follow and prepare military supplies together, and then we can be self-sufficient. Then I will think of some ways in Nanyang City, and strive to lead the army across Songshan Mountain in three to five days, and approach Luoyang, ambush in the mountains, and be ready to attack at any time.
Tang Bai was immediately found, and he and Cao Yanshuang were asked to lead the army. The 500,000-strong army set off immediately, avoiding the eyes and ears, to Songshan Mountain to clear the way for the entire army and prepare military supplies for the follow-up army.
Tang Bai and Cao Yanshuang took the order and left, and what I need to do here is to continue to prepare military supplies. Within three to five days, seven counties should be able to capture, and then part of the military supplies can be provided. But Longzhong,
Some of the four counties of Xinye, Wancheng and Yuanxian will become the front line, and some will transport military supplies to the front line. Obviously, it is impossible to have the balance to send to Nanyang. So only
The three counties of Lower Xicheng, Wudang, and Xiangxiang can increase the military supplies of the army by about three to five days. Theoretically, Songshan can obtain the military supplies of the entire army, but no matter how big the mountain is, there are always production limits, which will turn Songshan upside down.
, it is estimated that it is only enough for the army for three to five days. In other words, it can currently guarantee the army's military needs for seven or eight days. If it is more, we will have to find some way.
After thinking about it, I already have a solution. I immediately ordered Long Wu, the commander of the remaining Yellow Turban Army, to take the Yellow Turban Army to "invite" the local big businessmen in Nanyang. While I was here to find Jiang Jun to understand the situation, I also based on my understanding.
When arriving, write several IOUs and donation certificates.
Soon all the big households in Nanyang were "invited". The formation was really overwhelming. Organizing these big households into an army could reach a battalion level. There was no way around it. As the hometown of Emperor Guangwu, Nanyang had many prominent nobles.
, and there are also many well-off families who have become prosperous by clinging to the nobility. In short, even if all the human flesh is eaten all over the country, Nanyang will not be short of food, and there will be no problem eating it for hundreds of years.
Now these big business owners are "invited" to me, and each one of them has a pale face and is trembling with fear. Everyone knows that our group of people now are, at best, "rebels"; at worst, they are "green forest bandits"
, one by one eats people without spitting out the scum, and it will be explained here if it is not good for one's life. Of course, it is certain to lose money, the only difference is whether the disaster can be eliminated after the money is lost.
There were so many people, so I had to invite them all to the school grounds, spread out mats, and let these people sit down. Then, I made my grand entrance.
"Everyone, I am the Chief Taoist of Jingzhou Yellow Turban, currently holding the post of Nanyang Prefect. First of all, I want to let you know what we do. You were born in Nanyang, and you should know the story of Emperor Guangwu's rebellion in the past. Now the court is unkind,
I regard the clear stream and the common people as stupid dogs. I, the Yellow Turban Great Master, feel the hardship of the common people.
We raised an army angrily to save all the people from the danger. However, our army is new and lacks food and pay, so we urgently need to solve this problem. We are not bandits, so we cannot come to your homes to rob, we can only invite you to discuss. I provide two solutions below:
Voluntary donation lending and guaranteed trading lending. Each large accountant will stipulate
There is a minimum limit for selling or borrowing grain. If anyone is willing to sell or borrow more, you can contact me quietly. I will send someone to your home to pick it up at night. Of course, I also know your concerns and fear that in the future
If anything goes wrong for me, the Yellow Turban, I will not be able to find anyone to repay the food, and at the same time I will be considered by the court to be a bandit.
Therefore, all the big business owners today will be temporarily placed under house arrest. Before dawn, the prefect will negotiate with each of the big business owners individually and finish all matters. At that time, they will be released to go home. Once the Yellow Turbans are defeated in the future, there will be no
People know the truth and falsehoods of other large households. I wonder what other worries you have?"
The big bosses shook their heads one by one, indicating that they had nothing to say. Just kidding, these people just hope that the matter will end as soon as possible. Who dares to take issue with my words?
I didn't waste time. I sent people to lock up these big households individually, and then asked for their opinions one by one. Anyone who was willing to donate money, borrow food, and sell more was brought to see me so that I could recognize their appearance so that we could get to know each other better in the future. Those who didn't want to
If you donate more food, borrow food, and sell more, you will only buy the food at the minimum limit. Send people overnight to get everything done. Of course, "everything" only refers to raising money, raising food, and issuing IOUs to the vouchers, not including payment. Payments must be made slowly.
Take your time.
I finally collected some and found that the donations raised could actually cover all the food purchases. This made me feel confident. I immediately ordered people to send the food purchases to each household. As for those who donated and borrowed money, as early as yesterday
I have already prepared the IOU and contribution certificate in the evening.
Overnight, the military supply problem that I was currently having a headache was solved. And judging from the reaction of those big business owners, everyone seemed to be very happy. Not only did they save their lives, but the money they offered was also acceptable. Besides, in addition to voluntary donations and loans,
Besides, I got paid all the time. I really didn’t expect that it would be so easy to pass the test.
So now I don’t have to wait for the people who attacked the county to come back. Since the military supplies are sufficient, I can naturally raise troops immediately. Only 10 million direct line troops and 100,000 Nanyang soldiers are left to guard the city, and the other 50 million direct line troops and 30 million "Haibo Army"
", plus 1 million Yellow Turbans,
As usual, we stayed day and night and drove into Songshan Mountain, preparing to cross the mountains and approach Luoyang.
However, I cannot leave for the time being. After all, our generals are out in force and Nanyang lacks defenders. I must wait until someone comes back to take charge of Nanyang affairs before I can leave. Send someone to Wudang to tell Liu Xin that after taking down Wudang, Cao Peng will be left behind.
Wudang, Liu Xin came back to serve as city guard, and then I began to wait for Liu Xin's return.
