Dong'e County Governing Office, Ma Yue is the first.

On the left side of the hall sat Xue Zhi and the patriarch of the Fan clan, Cheng Li, Cheng Wu, and a cadre in the county. On the right is Guan Yu, Yang Feng and other Ma Yue henchmen and the overseers sent by the imperial court.

But those who are assigned by the imperial court to fight independently, there are small eunuchs in the army, and most of these who are sent to supervise the army are the henchmen of the eunuchs, and their loyalty is incomparable, but many of their abilities are not comparable to the eunuchs. As a result, there were many discords between eunuchs and generals. Because the life of these little eunuchs is not easy, they need wealth to bribe the officials, and they also need wealth to change their lives.

Fortunately, the eunuchs assigned to Ma Yue by the imperial court never had a bad idea on him, and the veteran Chang Rang took care of Ma Yue, and the newly promoted Huangmen Jian Shuo had a friendship with Ma Yue. Not to mention that Mr. Liang Hu is Ma Yue's teacher, and His Majesty is also very optimistic about Ma Yue, and these things have long been spread among the eunuchs in the palace.

However, because of this, few eunuchs in the palace were willing to come to the water camp of the minister of Ma Yue to be the supervisor, and they would rather go to the main front line of the Han army...... After all, that's where there really is oil and water.

In the Ma Yue army, this Zhonghuangmen redundant is Jian Shuo's henchman, named Li Jian, who is well-behaved and clever, from following Ma Yue to ask for thieves to the present, he will take the initiative to consult with Ma Yue before a battle report is recorded every ten years, and his hands and feet are also clean, I am afraid that no general does not like such a supervising army. Without affecting the salaries and grain of the Changshui Battalion, Ma Yue also acquiesced to the fact that this little eunuch was greedy for a small part of the military salaries and war profits.

"Guan Sima, how did you win this battle?"

Hearing Ma Yue's question, Guan Yu replied with a fist: "Captain Hui, there were very few casualties in this battle, three out of one hundred and ninety horses were lost, eighty cavalry were killed, and two hundred and thirty infantry were reduced. Eight hundred and ninety ranks, more than 2,000 prisoners, 400 knives, more than 600 spears, two pairs of iron armor, and nearly 100 leather armor. His subordinates have recruited more than 600 people to join the infantry. But ......"

Ma Yue nodded and asked, "How?" ”

Guan Yu said: "My subordinates are worried that the surrender may cause unstability in our army. Guan Yu didn't say too much, there were still a lot of outsiders sitting opposite, just shook his head slightly, Guan Yu continued: "The loss of archers' bows and arrows is too large, and most of the archers are hunting bows, more than half of them are damaged in the first battle, and the rest are not enough to fight again, are they incorporated into the infantry or?" ”

The hunting bow is different from the bow and crossbow made by the battle array, and it can't help but open the bow one after another in a short period of time on the battlefield, not to mention the lack of bow power, which is not a good choice.

"Don't be part of the infantry just yet, let me figure it out." Ma Yue nodded to indicate that he already knew, and said to Xue Zhi: "Xue Gongcao, how many people are there in Dong'e County now?" ”

Xue Zhi looked older than Cheng Li, was rubbing his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Back to the captain of the horse, the old man took more than 3,000 people back to the county, there are more than 2,000 people in Quqiu Mountain, and there are many homeless people in the countryside who are afraid of thieves and dare not return to the city. ”

"Ah Ruo, the materials in the small village of the king thief's army outside the city can be identified?"

Yang Feng had already taken off his ghost mask at this time, kneeling happily on the right side, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and hugged his fists and replied: "Captain, my subordinates have all found out that there are twenty carts of money and jewelry in the village, worth more than five thousand gold. Nearly 100 horses can be filled into the cavalry camp, and there are more than 300 carts of grain and forage, which can solve the urgent need of our army's shortage of grain and grass. ”

As soon as Yang Feng said this, everyone in the hall had different expressions, Fan and Xue Zhi's faces were not very good-looking, Cheng Li and Cheng Wu were okay, but they were also a little disliked. The meaning of Yang Feng's words is very clear, these things are war booties, and they belong to the name of the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army.

Xue Zhi looked at Ma Yue and opened his mouth, but finally didn't dare to say anything. And the patriarch of the Fan clan is named Fan Ci, who is also an old man who is over half a hundred years old, and coughed lightly and said, "Captain Ma...... The treasures that the thief gathered and plundered were all plundered from the houses of the people of Dong'a, and you see......"

"People?" Ma Yue looked at Fan Ci and chuckled, shook his head, he understood that these riches must be owned by the people in the city, but it is already very good for the people to take advantage of a success, and more of them are probably the surnames in the city, and even the county magistrates and county magistrates. However, Ma Yue didn't plan to take it all, so he stretched out his palm and pressed it down and smiled: "Fan Lao, don't be impatient, Cheng Wu, do you know how to count?" ”

Cheng Wu and Cheng Li both sat at the end, he thought that Ma Yue called him over because he killed Wang Du, only to hear that Wang Du had actually plundered such a huge wealth, and his head was still in shock. Suddenly, he heard Ma Yue call his name, so he came back to his senses and said, "Captain, what did you say?" ”

Ma Yue repeated with a smile: "Let me ask you, do you know how to count?" ”

"Xiaomin knows a thing or two." Cheng Wu glanced at Cheng Li, and when he saw Cheng Li nodding to him, he said, "I don't know what the captain wants Xiaomin?" ”

Ma Yue heard Yang Feng say that Cheng's father and son had a strategy and strategy, so he immediately asked: "Wang Du's first level is 50,000, 1000 is 20,000, 100 is 5,000, and the rest is 800 money, how much is it?" ”

Ma Yue did take a fancy to this batch of war profits, but he only planned to take a small part of them to reward the soldiers, and he would naturally calculate this amount, but it was not appropriate for this situation to come out of his mouth, so he wanted to use Cheng Wu's mouth to say this number.

Cheng Wu nodded and dipped his hand in water to sketch a few cases for a while, and before he could get a result, Cheng Li beside him said: "Back to the school captain, eight hundred and twenty-seven thousand dollars." ”

"Oh?" This time it was Ma Yue's turn to be surprised, he just roughly figured out about 100 gold in his head, but he didn't want Cheng Wu's father to be so good at calculating, he didn't know if it was right or not, but he knew that the correct result was not far behind. Although he didn't know Cheng Li's name, Ma Yue knew that he had met a great talent...... But this arithmetic ability can handle an axle load, eliminating the worries of the group of Liangzhou roughmen around him.

"Master Cheng is a good learner! In this case, please ask the Master to calculate it again. The Changshui camp has 1,400 horsemen, 2,600 people, and one rider counts as six, and the master counts the grain and grass needed for 30 years in the Changshui camp. ”

In these years, the people of Chen Mi and Lao Su can't eat enough at all, and they have to eat several liters at a full meal, not to mention that horses eat more than people, and there is no supply line, and the grain and grass in the Ma Yue Department has always been a big problem in his heart. Cheng Li's ability to help calculate the grain and grass needs couldn't be better in Ma Yue's opinion, but he also knew that this number was not easy to calculate.

At that moment, Ma Yue smiled at Cheng Li, who was frowning: "Master don't need to be in a hurry, I will rest in Dong'e County for a few days, and the distribution of grain and grass and war profits will be taken care of by the master, Cheng Wu and Xue Gongcao. The rest will be distributed to the people. Prison Army, write a war report! ”
