There was a light cyan shadow under Zhou Yan's eyelids, which was a trace left by not having a good rest for a long time.

His lips pursed tightly.

Years of battlefield career have made him accustomed to vigilance, even in front of his dear family, he is only a little relaxed.

Zhou Yan pondered the words and said: "General Zhang has managed the file of the report very well, but the personnel transfer, grain operation, and even the dispatch of soldiers are a mess. ”

Zhou Yan didn't arrive in Guizhou for a long time, but as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he began to rotate.

Zhang Qian has been here for so long, and he has basically not carried out a decent rectification of the state capital yamen. When Tian Chu, who was still sent by the Empress Dowager Tian to assist in the transfer, was in office, in order to raise military rations, he once carefully counted the stocks of major state capitals and managed the logistics officials.

On the contrary, the perfection of the scout team and the regularity of the report file have reached the level of nitpicking. Scouts are indeed important, but the number of scouts arranged by Zhang Qian can almost reach more than six times the regular configuration.

What was the reason for him to be so anxious to understand the movements of the Jiaozhi army near Guizhou City?

Guizhou is inland, far away from Jiaozhi, and it is more than ten days away from Yongzhou, so arranging so many scouts in Guizhou City, except for a little exploration when Jiaozhi attacks the vicinity, it will not play a role at all.

It is not on the march to be around the army, which can help to understand the distribution of the enemy's forces.

Zhang Qian is a general, it is impossible not to know this.

On the shelf, there are too many deconstructions of the defense of the major cities in Guangnan, the speed and method of Jiaozhi attacks, and the situation of Guangnan's troops.

The enveloped files are like practicing with Quang Nam and learning how to write a recital. It was as if I was deliberately telling the person who took over that I had a job, and that I had only been here for a long time, and that I had already made such a thorough analysis of the situation in Quang Nam!

But it was the situation of the Guizhou Mansion and the Guangnan Army system, and the dense reports on the file shelves made Zhou Yan suspicious.

To put it mildly, Zhou Yan has been using clay figures as soldiers and horses since he was three years old, and he and his brother have done deductions together, Zhang Qian has fought the Hehuang Domain, but the combat effectiveness of the feudal people is not even worthy of the shoes of those fierce Tartars in the north. Regardless of grain transportation, geography and weather, the garrison conditions in the north are many times worse than those in the river.

Zhang Qian's tricks and feet in the government may not have a problem to hide from others, and if he wants to deceive him, he is a little tender.

Mrs. Zhao spread out the paper in her hand and said: "I have also calculated for you in the past two days, according to the number in the newspaper, the surviving defenders in Guizhou are estimated to be less than 3,000, only with these 3,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention to rescue Yongzhou, if Jiaozhi once the soldiers come to the city, you will not even have enough soldiers to keep vigil in shifts!" ”

Zhou Yan did not deny it, he said: "There are three thousand two hundred and seven people left on the military register. There are also more than 5,000 newly recruited brave people who can't be of great use. ”

Old Madam Zhao sneered, she watched Da Wei fight all the way, and she couldn't have a say in the combat power of the recruits, she said lightly: "Then the recruits are five hundred." ”

Zhou Qin couldn't help but interject and asked, "Second uncle, there are three thousand two hundred and seven people on the military register, so how many are there?" ”

In her previous life, she had heard her uncle talk about the shortcomings in the Great Wei army, and she had given examples of empty salaries many times.

Some kind-hearted generals eat a 30% empty salary, and there are 1,000 people on the military register, and 700 are pointed, which has already been counted as a face for the imperial court. And when you encounter unkind, there are also six or seven percent to eat. As long as it is not found out, the DPRK and China will only turn a blind eye.

Guangnan is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and in the past, he was the old general who led the troops, and I don't think there were many flowers on the roster a year ago. But since Liu Yi took over, it is difficult to say.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he said: "After repeated counting, the actual number of soldiers in Guizhou is 1,630. However, Zhang Qian posted a list of recruits and recruited more than 700 people, and this part only ate 30% of the empty salary. ”

Zhou Qin quickly calculated in his heart. One thousand six hundred and thirty to three thousand two hundred and seventy.

The veterans in Guizhou actually ate fifty percent of their empty salaries!

Liu Yi is too greedy!

Didn't he know that this was going to kill him?!

It's good now, he didn't kill him, but it hurt thousands of people in Yongzhou, Lianzhou, and Qinzhou!

Guizhou only has this little force, this is called how the second uncle rescued Yongzhou!

Thinking about it, Zhou Qin couldn't help frowning.

Counting the troops is the first thing that all those who take over the military power should do after they take office, Zhang Qian has no reason not to know this situation, but since he arrived in Guizhou, he has never heard him ask Beijing to send troops for support.

Zhou Qingang came from Tanzhou, and he did not hear that Jingnan had sent troops south to aid Guizhou.

Is Zhang Qian confident that he can drive away the Jiaozhi army of said 80,000 with a mere 2,000 troops?

Then he is not a warrior, but a god!

Zhou Qin calculated the strength of Guangnan in his heart, and suddenly felt that it was wrong, and said: "Second uncle, it was said that Zhang Qian brought 1,500 elites from Fengxiang to Guizhou, and brought 1,000 to his brother, and the other 500, how can there be no shadow." ”

Zhou Yan smiled coldly, "He ordered the deputy general to lead the five hundred men and horses to rescue Pennsylvania, accompanied by his son and Su Zhongcheng's eldest son." ”

Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Qian's son was Zhang Jun, the little emperor's attendant. Zhang Jun and his brother Zhou Yanzhi and Su Zhongchang, the son of Cheng Su Quan in the imperial history, are classmates.

I remember that a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, Su Zhongchang also came to the Protector's Mansion to look for his brother, and at that time he asked his brother for the few gadgets brought out of the palace, but then somehow, it was gone.

Although Zhou Qin had never led his troops into battle, he also felt that Zhang Qian's action was a bit strange.

I don't have many troops, and I have to split the elites I brought from Fengxiang that can be used as big uses, what do you want to do?

Just thinking about it doesn't help the current situation. Guizhou is only this defender, how can the second uncle rescue Yongzhou.

The elder brother followed Tian Chu to the south, and calculated that he should have arrived in Yongzhou half a month ago. Now that there is no news, I have only gotten the news that the whole city of Qinzhou and Lianzhou was slaughtered, what is his condition, whether he is alive or dead.

Zhou Qin clenched his fists.

Zhou Yan saw that the atmosphere in the room was depressed, and hurriedly said: "Now General Zhang is bedridden, he only brought one son to Guangnan this time, he has already gone to Pennsylvania, and now he doesn't even have family members around him. ”

When Mrs. Zhao arrived in Guangnan, the Guizhou Houya was naturally handed over to her. Although he has been scolded by his mother for the past few days, with his family here, Zhou Yan is really a lot more relaxed. Now that he is leaving, the chores of Guizhou City can be handed over to the magistrates and subordinate officials, and the affairs of the rear office can finally be entrusted to his mother.

Old Madam Zhao said: "Now the affairs of the Houya are all handled by Aunt Xian, you only tell her." Then he asked, "Where did you get the soldiers, why don't you take all the people of Guizhou away?" ”

In a room in the back office, Zhang Qian, who was supposed to be unconscious, was secretly opening his eyes while the servant who took care of him went out to pour water. (To be continued.) )
