Four hundred and fortieth chapters family background
Looking at his enthusiastic men, Li Xingchen sighed secretly in his heart.
Since he entered Ba County, he has fought non-stop against Baidi City, Linjiang County, Ba County, Hezhou and Luzhou. But now the New Year has not passed yet, the atmosphere has not yet taken a breath, and we have to fight again.
Two formidable opponents, Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan, battled to a decisive battle.
And what I want to do is just to struggle to find a way in this troubled world. God really takes care of me...
Instead of rushing to issue orders to the eager generals, Li Xingchen first made a gesture to silence everyone, and then looked at Luo Ya:
"Qimen, please tell me first how much money we have now. If you don't give me an accurate answer, I won't have the guts to fight this battle."
Luo Ya is now the governor of Chuzhou, but in fact he governs not only Chuzhou, which is Bajun in the traditional sense, but also Hezhou and Luzhou.
Li Xingchen now has enough generals, but there are still too few civil servants, so Luo Ya can only "work more for those who are capable". However, Luo Ya has been idle for half his life, and what he hopes most is to find something to do, so he
Working in three places on one shoulder, although the responsibility is heavy, I never complain about being tired.
Of course, Luo Ya's hard work is seen by everyone. Even Chen Zhishen, who has always looked at no one except Li Xingchen, Xiao Shilian and a few other powerful generals, they all treat Luo Ya respectfully.
Without the big housekeeper running around and working behind the scenes, everyone would be at a loss when it comes to fighting, so everyone still understands this truth.
A worried look appeared on Luo Ya's face, and he said in a deep voice: "As the general said, it is the season when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, so not only is it inconvenient for the enemy to come and go, but it will also be more troublesome for us to transport food, and the consumption will naturally become higher.
Big. The food that was originally estimated to be consumed in one day may now only be enough for half a day..."
The transshipment of grain is not a trivial matter. Before the soldiers and horses move, grain and grass go first. From ancient times to the present, grain and grass have been the basis of military campaigns. Most of the people present have been in the military for a long time, and of course they all understand what Luo Ya said.
After a pause, Luo Ya then said: "According to this calculation, our food can only last for two months in total. That is to say, after two months, unless there is a miracle or there is a transfer of food and grass from Jingzhou, that is
There is nothing I can do...after all, it is impossible for me to conjure food for the general from the plains."
Listening to the resentment in Luo Ya's words, Li Xingchen could only smile and shake his head. He had to admit that although what Luo Ya said was unpleasant, it was the cruel reality that Li Xingchen had to face now.
Two months, a serious shortage of troops and horses... In such a difficult battle situation, God was really testing him.
The high-spirited fighting spirit on the faces of Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others around them also dissipated a lot. At this time, they had deeply realized what kind of dilemma they were facing and cheered up. They were not wishful thinking about using their own blood to win.
This battle.
In the previous contest with Yuchi Jiong, they could already feel that the passion and fighting spirit of Yuchi Jiong's soldiers were no worse than theirs. Although Wei Xiaokuan did not know, since he could be called a famous general, how could he mobilize morale?
Is he an idle person?
This battle is really more difficult than imagined.
Li Xingchen coughed lightly: "Now that everyone knows what we have in hand and what we are facing, it is still too late to retreat. Although Li Xingchen is not a hero, this battle is still
Those who want to continue fighting, even if the possibility of victory is getting smaller and smaller... If any of you want to leave, I will never stop you, because this is a matter of your own mind, and I don't want to force anyone to do it.
.”
Suddenly, the entire meeting hall was silent, and Li Xingchen changed his voice: "Of course, if someone does not leave at this moment today, and there is a real fight later, no matter what the order is, even if you are asked to die, you cannot hesitate at all. So.
This is your only chance to think, otherwise don't blame Li Xinchen for being ruthless in the future."
The generals and officials were speechless. They never doubted Li Xinchen's determination to do this after he said this. However, no one came out to speak, and every glance was directed at Li Xinchen.
If the eyes before were more fiery and exciting, now there is a bit more stability and trust in these eyes. These guys really entrusted their lives to Li Xinchen's hands.
Li Xingchen nodded solemnly, and his eyes fell directly on the person at the back: "Du Qi!"
The people in the meeting hall looked at each other in surprise. They never expected that Li Xinchen would be the first to call Du Qi's name. After all, this was the first time Du Qi participated in a meeting of Li Xinchen's system, and he represented another person.
He was a Pu person who had just integrated into this group. Therefore, Du Qi, who was standing in the meeting hall, seemed to be out of tune with the people present.
Du Qi obviously had this self-awareness, so since the beginning of the meeting, he didn't say much except nodding in agreement. Now that Li Xingchen suddenly called his name, Du Qi immediately cheered up and hurriedly stepped forward: "General
?”
Of course Du Qi was grateful to Li Xinchen for settling down the Pu people so carefully, but he was not naive enough to think that Li Xinchen was really a living Bodhisattva. So Du Qi had been waiting for the day when Li Xinchen needed them.
Otherwise, he would receive salary for nothing, and Du Qi felt a little uneasy.
Although I don't know what Li Xingchen is planning now, at least they will use their Pu people. Of course, Du Qi feels relieved. No matter what Li Xingchen needs them to do, it can at least show that the Pu people still exist in Li Xingchen's heart.
status.
Sometimes the only thing more despicable than cannon fodder is the person who wants to be cannon fodder but has no chance.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Young Patriarch, there are many mountains in Langzhong, and the Ba people are more familiar with Langzhong than anyone else, let alone Brazil and Luzhou, so I want the Young Patriarch to lead his elite soldiers, Erlangqian."
Go out to explore the road and serve as the eyes and ears of the army. At the same time, you can take the opportunity to contact fellow tribesmen along the way. As long as they are willing to lend a helping hand to a certain Li Xinchen, then a certain Li is also willing to help them get out of trouble."
Du Qi was startled for a moment and opened his mouth, not believing his ears.
Li Xingchen made such a simple request? Could it be that he heard it wrong?
"Young Patriarch, we are going to Shu. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It is not a simple job. Being the eyes and ears of the army is not just as simple as spying on the opponent's movements. Do you understand?" Li Xingchen then emphasized.
