When an army travels, they must collect grain and grass. Grain is for eating, and grass has many uses. It can be used as feed for livestock, as tinder, as fuel, and as a means of keeping out the cold.
"Fucking weather!"
The rainy season is ongoing.
Amidst Li Jie's curses, the heavy rain turned into... a very heavy rain.
Probably because I wrote many letters to Mr. Sishui before, Mr. Sishui was reluctant to leave his friend Lao Li, so he gave Lao Li a big gift.
The "Huaishang Branch" of the "Justice League" did not die on the battlefield of the Battle of Biyang, nor was it injured at the "Second Ring Road" construction site in Biyang State, but when Surabaya entered Huaikou, it suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
It is certain that the heavy rain that lasted from last night to the present has directly destroyed the troops of all the countries in Huaishang. The initial estimate of those who died directly is more than a thousand, and the remaining seven or eight thousand are missing, and another one or two thousand have been turned into bastards.
Whether we can survive it is still unknown.
If nothing else, the epidemic will appear soon.
What's worse is that the Huaishang countries are quite extensive in control, which is also a characteristic of this era.
People can conclude that a major disaster will be followed by a major epidemic, but the prevention and treatment methods are very backward.
In fact, as long as the management is more in place, there will be a qualitative leap.
"Shou Li!"
"What is the initial estimate of our department's losses?"
"Thirty-two people are missing, 327 injured, and no one is dead."
Sha Heng wiped the water from his face and said, "Sha Bei has built a camp on the high ground. The land is hard and there will be no landslides."
"How much hay?"
"Thirty ships are enough." After saying that, Sha Hen added, "Sha Bei has already brought people to dry the firewood, and with the twenty shiploads of charcoal, our army should have no problem."
The Surabaya River has surged, and the fields on both sides of the strait have been ravaged again. This year's harvest will not be very good.
The thought running through County Magistrate Li's mind right now is to wonder what kind of trouble will happen in this ghost place like Xucheng when the alliance comes.
But after thinking about it, it’s none of his fucking business!
It is a depression in Zeguo. Fortunately, Li Jie took away everything that could float in the water when he went out. Biyangzi Yubao is now continuing the great cause of the "Second Ring Road". The entire Biyang Kingdom only needs to develop the surrounding land
When he comes out, he is a little "little strong".
The country with the strongest ability to withstand floods in Si is currently Biyang State.
There are ditches all over the place, and there are also ditches that lead directly to the lowlands. I am not afraid that Lord Sishui will miss Lao Li and then go to Yangguo to find someone.
"Shou Li, how to deal with all the tribes in Huaishang?"
"What do you think?"
When Li Jie asked Sha Heng, his eyes were very calm.
After a moment of silence, Shaheng turned his palm into a knife and slowly moved it downwards.
In Sha Heng's view, if these weak chickens can do it all at once, then they only need to bring a few symbolic weak chickens to attack Cai.
As for the Huaishang Kingdoms... they did it in one fucking breath.
Half of the main force of these rookie countries are here, and then they were turned into water bastards.
"It's not good if we do it."
Li Jie patted the sand and hummed, this guy is also a fierce general at heart. He usually doesn't talk much, but he works hard to make himself talk more.
Unlike Shah, Shah is willing to use his brain and sum up his experience.
"Please also ask Shou Li for instructions."
"The news of our attack on Cai should have reached Cai by now."
Li Jie's smile was extremely sinister, "Do you think Cai Guo will recruit a large number of troops to prevent unexpected events?"
"meeting!"
"Then let me tell you another news. It is said that the troops of the Huaishang Kingdom have been hit by heavy rains and most of them have been lost. What do you think Cai Guo will do?"
"How to do it?" Sha Heng was stunned, and then said, "If it were me, I would attack first and destroy all the countries!"
"Yes, it's morally wrong, but the neighbors are so weak and have no ability to resist, and they are still being treated unjustly. Why don't you kill them?!"
Li Jie stared at Shaheng with a fierce look, "The disputes between countries are like vicious dogs fighting for food. In one sentence: If you fall behind, you will be beaten!"
"yes!"
"I can't trust others. Shaha is guarding this place, so don't worry. This time, you will personally lead the team, pretending to be the escort of Wudi merchants, and go to Cai State."
Hearing Li Jie's arrangement, Sha Heng was a little surprised: "Shou Li, I..."
Sha Hen was a little unsure when it came to dealing with this kind of thing. If he was asked to kill someone, he would not hesitate; if he was asked to charge, he would be fearless. But for this kind of job of dealing with people and then releasing rumors and expanding the rumors, he really had no confidence.
"I'll give you a deputy."
After saying that, Li Jie clapped his hands and called for a crocodile bodyguard, "Go and call Jia Gui, the captain of the newly formed 'Righteous' Brigade."
"yes!"
On the muddy mounds, the crocodile man didn't walk very fast, but he was very steady. In fact, he walked faster than those who were in a hurry.
The mud makes it difficult to march quickly.
Seeing this dire situation, Li Jie could only be thankful that he had prepared enough boats, as well as a large number of bamboo rafts and rafts.
This is not the beginning of the rainy season, but the end of the rainy season, but even though the rainy season may be coming to an end, the heavy rainfall in the Jianghuai region will continue into winter once the right conditions are met.
Even when it rains all year round, it is not without it.
The patter of light rain is tempting, it's like a mist-like drizzle. This kind of precipitation will be very frequent after autumn.
"Fortunately, I have prepared enough ships since I debuted."
Although there are not many boating experts in "Baisha", there are many in Suzhou. Fortunately, I did a good job of flattering the old monster earlier, and Jiangyin City has a lot of high-quality boatmen and boatmen.
In addition, although "Baisha" is not good at maneuvering large boats, she can still maneuver small boats.
Surabaya and Huai River have not yet reached the point where they need a large number of sailboats.
The skill of the punters determines the navigation ability.
After a while, Jia Gui, who had changed his title, walked in the mud and hurried towards Li Jie with mud all over his body. When he arrived at Li Jie's camp, he first wet himself with a cloth in a bucket nearby, and then wiped the mud off his body.
After he was clean and refreshed, he came to see Li Jie.
"A large group of Jia Gui, please see the general."
Jia Gui cupped his fists and bowed, very respectfully.
"Gui, I have an important mission. I want you to cooperate with Sha Heng and go to Cai Guo!"
"yes!"
Ugly, yes, a little bit ugly, but when I answered, I responded immediately without hesitation at all.
There is no doubt that this ugly guy really wants to keep his job under Li Jie.
"This time, I need you to cooperate with Sha Heng and spread rumors in Cai State."
"Yes! Gui, guaranteed to complete the task!"
"Well, you are the captain of the newly formed 'Righteous' team. You should have been allowed to familiarize yourself with the team first. However, this matter is of great importance and I cannot trust anyone who is not a confidant."
Hearing the word "confidant", Jia Gui was immediately overjoyed and saluted directly. Regardless of the muddy water on the ground, he said loudly: "Gui, I am willing to die for the general! I was raised by the general in the wilderness. Gui,
I am willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the general!"
This dirty talk...has a familiar flavor.
County Magistrate Li recalled it, and it seemed that it was a flirtatious talk he had made with his uncle.
I never expected that now it's not just one man making a fuss, but everyone making a fuss together...
But no matter how you say it, it’s so cool, it just sounds comfortable.
Damn it, no wonder Nichen has a future, this is really cool.
County Magistrate Li sighed inwardly, and then said to Jia Gui: "Select your own capable people."
"yes!"
Jia Gui still answered firmly. He never asked Li Jie how difficult or high-risk the mission assigned was, nor did he ask Li Jie who the enemy was. He only needed to know where the enemy was.
Whether or not you can beat the enemy is one thing, your attitude must be firm.
After so many years of wandering around, it was the first time that Jia Gui was so close to the peak of his life and was living a decent life.
No matter how others complain about what a rustic Jiangyin is and how barbaric Wu is, the reality is that Li Jie made him eat well and Li Jie made him have status.
Jia Gui's idea is very simple: I am not a national scholar, but I will repay him as a national scholar!
