[Five thousand stones of food, price - 100 stability points. Purpose: enough for five thousand soldiers to eat for a month. This item will be delivered one day after purchase. 】
Five thousand dan of food?
Delivered in one day?
Ma Su was startled for a moment, then overjoyed.
In the past two days, he had lost his appetite due to the lack of food in the army and could only eat three large bowls of rice in one meal.
Originally, when he learned that there was no surplus food in Shu, he felt a little broken in his heart.
The Northern Expedition is reaching a critical moment, how can it be abandoned halfway because of lack of food?
According to his vision, even if he was hungry, he would complete the second Northern Expedition.
Even if we cannot continue the Northern Expedition, at least we must capture the two counties of Yinping and Wudu in Longnan!
Taking these two counties has two advantages: firstly, it can defend the northwestern gateway of central Sichuan, and secondly, it can increase one's own strength.
There are hundreds of thousands of Qiang people living in the two counties and surrounding mountainous areas.
When it comes to the Qiang people, we have to start before the Jieting Battle. At that time, Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to pretend to attack a key point and personally led the army to Longxi, catching Wei by surprise.
Cao Zhenchi, the governor of Wei, sent a letter to the Qiang and ordered the Western Qiang to send troops to resist the Shu army. King Cheliji immediately ordered the state counselor Yadan and the marshal Yue Ji to raise 50,000 Qiang soldiers and chariots to attack Xipingguan. Afterwards, they were defeated and Yue Ji
He was killed in battle and Yadan was captured. Zhuge Liang returned all the captured Qiang soldiers, chariots, horses and equipment to Yadan and released him back to the Western Qiang.
King Cheliji of Xiqiang was grateful to Zhuge Liang for his kindness, so he formed an alliance with Shu Han.
In other words, the Qiang people there had been impressed by the force and magnanimity displayed by Zhuge Liang in his previous Northern Expedition, and they were eager to contribute to the Shu Han's Northern Expedition.
Therefore, pro-Han forces like the Xiqiang must recruit subordinates and cannot wait for a moment.
The food and fodder came in time.
This gave the Shu army, which was about to run out of food and retreat, a steady hand.
Ma Su knew that in this era, thirty kilograms was a jun, and four jins were a stone. As a unit of capacity, a stone was mainly used to measure the volume of various types of grain, and it could also be used for weighing.
One Chinese stone is equal to approximately 120 Chinese catties, and one Chinese catty is approximately equal to 250 grams. The converted weight of one Chinese stone in later generations is approximately 15 kilograms, which is 30 urban catties.
Thirty kilograms of grain is barely enough to feed a soldier for a month.
From this point of view, the system mall can be said to be innocent.
【Do you want to buy?】
Because the finger pointed on the grain and grass icon for a long time, the system issued a prompt.
"Buy!" Ma Su pressed it decisively.
[Congratulations: You spent 100 stability points and successfully purchased 5,000 stones of food. 】
[Five thousand stone grain is being delivered and will arrive in one day. Please pay attention to check it. 】
Ma Su silently experienced the thrill of online shopping, thinking about how the system would deliver the five thousand stone grain.
Airdrop? Mail? Special train delivery?
It doesn't seem to be reliable.
I thought about it for a long time and had no clue.
Ma Su shook his head and stopped worrying about this problem. He turned off the light screen and felt that he felt at ease all of a sudden.
'We have no worries about the Tucheng in Weixian County, we have no worries about the Tucheng in Lueyang, we have no worries about the grain roads in Chencang, we have no worries about morale, we have no worries about food and grass...'
'Well, it's another day for Gou to grow steadily in the city.'
'Zhang Hepifu, you can't beat me!'
‘Jiejiejiejiejie…’
A day goes by in a blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, before Ma Su got up, Li Sheng and Zhang Xiu hurriedly rushed in from outside and reported in unison: "General, thousands of Qiang people have come outside Lueyang City, armed with weapons, clamoring to see you.
…”
Xiqiang came with weapons at this time...
Are you here to help me defeat Wei?
Or are you helping Wei Bing to do me?
Ma Su opened his bedclothes and sat up, his thoughts changing rapidly.
Li Sheng took a breath and added: "General, don't panic, it's Prime Minister Yadan who has led five thousand Qiang soldiers to deliver food to us on the orders of Qiang King Cheliji."
It turned out to be friendly forces... Ma Su breathed a long sigh of relief, rolled his eyes at the two generals angrily, waved his hand and said, "Go and have a look!"
The three of them rode out of Tucheng in Weixian County and galloped along the inner line of Chencang Road until they arrived outside Tucheng in Lueyang.
From afar, I saw a tall Qiang man with sharp eyes like an eagle, a mustache, a beard, muscular muscles, and extraordinarily luxuriant hair. He stood beside the guard Huang Xi, pressing a hand on his chest and half
He bowed and said:
"Yadan has met General Ma."
Ma Su quickly got off his horse, helped Yadan up, looked directly into his eyes and asked: "Since ancient times, the Han and Qiang people have been a family, and they have always been connected by the same clothes. There is no need for the imperial master Yadan to be polite. I don't know why the imperial master came to climb mountains and ridges this time."
Why?"
Yadan stood up straight and said eloquently: "General, although we Xiqiang do not have much food, we are willing to contribute a small amount to the prime minister's great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty."
"My king is grateful for Prime Minister Zhuge's kindness and has specially ordered me to send five thousand dan of grain to support the army."
While the two were chatting, the five thousand Qiang people took off their backpacks, took out bulging gray cloth bags, and placed them on the ground.
Without even looking, you can tell that there must be corn inside the bag.
This is the food purchased in the system delivered to your door.
Ma Su understood and felt happy. With a smile on his face, he politely sent Master Yadan away. Looking at the corn on the ground, he suddenly sighed.
I realized that five thousand shi of food was actually only enough for half a month.
Because he actually had 10,000 soldiers, not 5,000.
Ma Su's face was smeared, and he felt that the math teacher's coffin board was a bit unbearable...
We have to continue to buy food.
But there is no room for continued simulation of the battle situation.
He had simulated it five times before. If both Shu and Wei sides stood still, nothing would happen in the next ten days.
Moreover, after simulating the same scenario five times, there is no gain anymore.
Without income (stable point), you cannot buy food.
To continue the simulation, only one side can take new military actions.
This is the most direct way.
For example, let's lead the troops to attack Zhang He now.
Ma Su glanced at the three generals beside him and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any way to provoke Zhang He to attack the city?"
If he had a choice, he didn't want to raise troops to attack Zhang He. He wanted Zhang He to attack him.
The enemy was outnumbered, and the Wei army was full of cavalry. It would be easy for the Shu army to go out of the city to attack Zhang He, but it would not be so easy to retreat safely.
In fact, every army of the Shu army has been trained and trained by Zhuge Liang, and the soldiers all know some military formations. Usually, when encountering battles in the wild, they are not too afraid of the Wei cavalry.
But the terrible thing is that Ma Su can't command the military formation to defend against the enemy.
If Zhuge Liang were here, he would naturally go wherever he wanted. If the commander-in-chief was Ma Su, he would have no choice but to stay motionless in the city.
So the best way is to induce Zhang He to attack the city.
In this way, he can continue to simulate the course of the battle without being injured. Then he can gain stability points, buy food, and fight a protracted war with Zhang He.
One-stop wool collection, perfect!
The three major generals looked at each other and shook their heads.
Huang Xi cupped his hands and said, "General, you know me. I'm relatively slow in terms of my brain."
Li Sheng followed closely and said: "General, you know me. Apart from running fast, I have no more advantages."
Zhang Xiu finally said: "General, you understand me. Apart from throwing stones and beating wild beasts, I don't understand anything else."
Damn it, these are a bunch of losers under my hands... Ma Su patted his forehead, his heart moved, and he asked urgently: "Are there any women in the army...clothes?"
"Yes." The three generals looked at each other again and replied slowly.
Zhang Xiu raised his hands hesitantly: "General, didn't we use this method at the street pavilion last time? It didn't work last time, and I'm afraid it will be even more useless this time."
Ma Di didn't care to think about why there were women's clothes in a military camp full of men. He immediately waved his hand and settled the matter:
"Whether it works or not, give it a try!"
"By the way, give Zhang He some more sets of women's clothes."
"By the way, if possible, I can also give Zhang He a set of bellyband pants."
Finally, Ma Su added: "Don't hide your secrets, I know you have them!"
Hearing this, the faces of the three major generals all fell.
