All the generals looked at each other, lowering their heads and thinking hard.
They are great at leading troops in battles, but it is a little more difficult to use their brains.
Of course, there are some smart ones among them, such as Cen Pei and Chen Sheng.
"General!" In order to "offset" his own crime, Cen Pei stood up after thinking carefully, "General, I think the soldier problem can be solved, it's not too difficult!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
"Yes!" Cen Pei stood up, "These soldiers are at your feet."
"What's the meaning?"
"General! Now that our army has occupied Bashui County, it can directly signal the young men in the city to join the army. It is not a problem to raise a hundred thousand troops in a short time! The county is the home of the people of Bashui. We only need to spread rumors that Gao Guo
The emperor was furious because of the loss of the city. He hated the people in the city who refused to fight to the death to capture the enemy. After breaking the city, he slaughtered the entire city, leaving no chickens or dogs behind! In order to save their lives, everyone in the city must actively join the army and work together to resist the enemy!" Cen Pei shouted loudly.
said.
"Hey!" Jia Zhengjin glanced at this young and delicate deputy general and said to himself that some people look quite elegant. They are fierce generals on the battlefield, and their strategies are extremely vicious. They are really the template of famous generals born for fighting!
Although the rumors spread, the people of Bashui County may not all believe them, but as long as some people believe them and spread them by word of mouth, the power cannot be overshadowed.
There is a saying called "three people make a tiger", which means exactly this.
"An army of 100,000 people?" A deputy general from behind stood up and questioned, "Nowadays, military rations are in short supply. At present, these troops cannot be fed. How can we support an army of 100,000 people?"
"Yes, General! How can we afford it if we don't have military rations?"
Many generals stood up and questioned.
"What did you say?" Jia Zhengjin asked Cen Pei.
"General!" Cen Pei immediately replied, "This military ration is also in the hands of the people of Bashui County."
"Tell me carefully!"
"Yes!" Cen Pei replied, "Our army spread rumors, causing panic in the city. In order to avoid a massacre of the city, the people naturally gave their full support. The people in the city donated their food reserves, and they will be able to survive until Danyang's reinforcements arrive!"
"What a great idea!"
"Sounds reasonable!"
"Not bad!"
"It's really a good plan!"
...
All the soldiers were talking about it and looked at Cen Pei with admiration.
"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin nodded and looked around the hall, "Vice Admiral Cen's strategy sounds good, does anyone have any other suggestions?"
"General!" Chen Sheng came out after hearing this, "General, I have something to add."
"speak!"
"Yes!" Chen Sheng said respectfully, "Vice Admiral Cen's plan must be miraculous, and I want to help him perfect it."
"How to say?"
"The general thinks that while spreading rumors to raise military rations, he can also promote military ration coupons!"
"Military ration coupons?" Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion, "What is that?"
"General! The so-called military ration coupons are documents issued by our army. All civilians who voluntarily donate military rations can receive military ration coupons recording the amount of military rations. When the enemy army is defeated and Bashui County is stabilized, those with this coupon can
If you get the grain back in full, you will get a corresponding interest rate, which can also be converted into silver taels. Lieutenant General Cen's strategy is to force a conquest, which will cause trouble in the future, but if you don't use this as a grain purchase strategy, there will be no future troubles! Military rations are not easy to raise.
This plan can solve urgent needs without causing public resentment due to forced recruitment, and it will more easily inspire people to take the initiative to raise donations..."
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin narrowed his eyes, "Very good! But who else wants to add?"
All the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all silent.
After confirming that no one came out, Jia Zhengjin directly ordered: "That's it, Cen Pei!"
"The end is here!" Cen Pei quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Diao Jun!"
"The general is here!" Diao Jun also came out quickly and stood next to Cen Pei, clasping his fists.
"Order you two to implement the plan and create rumors in the city!" Jia Zhengjin ordered, "Wait until the people are panicked, and then introduce the strategy of recruiting troops!"
"Here!!" Cen Pei and Diao Jun responded hurriedly.
"Yang Ting!"
"The end is here!"
"Chen Sheng!"
"The end is here!"
You two implement military ration coupons as soon as possible to solve the food shortage problem in the city!
"Here!!"
"Zou Yan!"
"The end is here!"
"You are responsible for cleaning up the troops and horses, patrolling the city gates on all sides closely, watching out for enemy troops to sneak in carefully, and being alert for enemy troops to attack!"
"Here!"
...
Jia Zhengjin arranged it, and all generals had tasks and all took action.
Cen Pei and Diao Jun left the prefect's mansion. Someone arranged for them to go to the temporary residence given by the general and change into brand new armors and military horses.
Cen Pei came to see Diao Jun and invited him to mobilize people to prepare for spreading rumors.
Diao Jun was in a bad mood and sighed after coming out.
"Don't sigh!" Cen Pei was unhappy after hearing this and stopped him, "This is a destiny that cannot be changed by manpower. It is better to stay in peace and make military achievements. When one day returns home in glory, wouldn't it be better?
good?"
"I'm worried about Brother Shao..." Diao Jun sighed, "I don't know if he's okay alone? Will something happen if I'm not around?"
"Aren't you okay on your own?" Cen Pei advised, "Brother Shao of yours should be fine and able to take care of himself."
"You're not him, how do you know he can take care of himself?"
"Then you're not him, so how do you know he can't take care of himself?"
"I..." Diao Jun didn't know how to refute. After a while, he sighed deeply.
"Why are you sighing again?" Cen Pei frowned.
Diao Jun looked up at the sky with a slightly melancholy look in his eyes: "That day I was wrongly accused, imprisoned for no reason, and later forcibly recruited into the army. I don't know if Xi'er knew about it? Or maybe she didn't know at all, but thought I didn't abide by the agreement.
When she met... I should have gone back to Qimu Town as soon as possible and explained to her face to face. But now I can't walk around, and there is no one to help me if I want to send a message... Xi'er must hate me to death, she should
What should we do?”
Cen Pei, who was standing next to him, looked at his side face with a slightly complicated expression: "It's useless to think too much, and you can't escape. It's better to focus on the things in front of you and complete the tasks assigned by the general! I will accompany you on the day of victory.
Qimu Town, go see your Brother Shao, and...and your Xi'er!"
"Why did you accompany me back to Qimu Town?" Diao Jun asked doubtfully, "I felt strange before. When we were in the cave, you also said that you would either accompany me back to Qimu Town or take me back to the military camp.
What’s the point?”
Cen Pei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You and I have a life-or-death friendship! I have no family, and I have nowhere to go back. We are brothers who have been through life and death, so why can't we go to your house?"
"That's not true..." Diao Jun scratched his head, "What you said makes sense. On the battlefield, we live and die together. You saved me many times, including yesterday when you saved me from the river.
This friendship is indeed not shallow. If you don’t have any family, it’s okay to go to Qimu Town with me. Brother Shao definitely doesn’t mind having another brother.”
"Isn't it settled now?" Cen Pei said with a smile, "Anyway, wherever you go in the future, brother, I will follow you!"
