Chapter 21 Base Areas
After all, with a base area, and then a super military general Dian Wei and a second-rate first-class military general Guan Hai are in charge, and now his subordinates are also full of talents. Liu Tao brought 2,000 elite Northern Army elites from Luoyang, and collected more than 20,000 remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but there were less than 2,000 young and middle-aged people, and they were all seriously lacking in nutrition, and there was no way to enter the army.
Liu Tao's team suddenly expanded from 2,000 to more than 20,000 people, and the whole team also seemed huge and bloated, with most of them being old and weak, women and children. In order to take care of the entire team, Liu Tao had to slow down the speed of the march, fortunately, Qingzhou is now considered peaceful, and in addition to the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zanghong's good governance, after the surrender of Guan Hai, there is no one who can threaten the thieves of the marching team, and there is no danger along the way to Dongmu County in Luoyang.
Dongmu County is a county seat under the rule of Donglai County, Qingzhou, and when it comes to the boundary of Dongmu, Liu Tao's worries in his heart can be regarded as completely put down, at least now he has two thousand elites in his hands, plus Dian Wei and Guan Hai are in charge, no one in this Dongmu County dares to get along with him. However, when he saw the completion of Dongmu County, Liu Tao was also shocked, saying that a county town did not even have a city wall, only a small wall piled up with adobe, and the city wall was no more than a zhang high.
"The army is stationed outside the city, and Dian Wei will follow me into the city with five hundred elites." Although it is far from the base in his heart, but after all, it is his own base, Liu Tao took Dian Wei and Guan Hai and ordered five hundred elite soldiers into the city. The depressed county town made Liu Tao's brows furrowed, and it seemed that he still had a lot of ways to go.
When Liu Tao took people to the county office, he was not very satisfied with the only good house in the county seat of Dongmu County, and there were two officials standing guard at the door. Liu Tao asked a personal soldier to go up to explain his intentions, and soon an old man in his forties and fifties walked out of the county office, and he was the county governor of Dongmu County, Zhang He. After inspecting the official body and writings, Liu Tao took over Dongmu County, and the first step was of course to count how much money and grain there was in his treasury.
"My lord, now the treasury of my house is as empty as a wilderness, the grain is no more than ten loads, and the money is no more than a hundred wen." Zhang He is the county governor of Dongmu County, and he is also the part-time county magistrate before Liu Tao came to Dongmu County, so he is naturally very clear about the treasury.
"Why is this all there is? My Dongmu County has not experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how can there be only this thing in the treasury? Liu Tao asked dissatisfiedly, there was only this thing in the treasury of a county town, which obviously made Liu Tao very dissatisfied.
"My lord, although our county has not experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, our money and grain have already been transported to the state capital for the suppression of the rebels. Zhang He replied like a stream, and said to Liu Tao: "My lord, now I have more than 200 county soldiers in Dongmu County, and I have not paid money for two months, and there are many displaced people from all over the country recently, and the only money and grain in our treasury are very badly consumed, may I ask my lord what should we do next?" ”
"I will make up the two hundred salaries of the county soldiers on time, Li Chong, you take someone to do it, and send our military rations to the treasury. Zhang Hai, you go to investigate the situation in the county, and ask people to gather the county soldiers for me, so that our people can take over the city garrison, and if you don't obey, you will be killed. Liu Tao quickly gave a few orders, but fortunately, there were no particularly stubborn forces in Dongmu County, and Liu Tao took over Dongmu County very smoothly.
Liu Tao, who has never been an official, naturally does not know how to manage a county, and Liu Tao's belief in the creed is to leave professional things to professional people to do, and now there are no senior internal affairs talents in his hands, so he can only hand over everything to Zhang He. Liu Tao summed up the predicament he is currently facing, one is the lack of food and money, these problems are not a problem for Liu Tao, there is alpha in as long as it is purchased from the real plane and sent to the Three Kingdoms plane. The biggest problem is the lack of people, there are two generals in their hands, but none of them are civil officials, and Liu Tao himself has no way to make up for this.
"Boss, I have bad news for you." Just when Liu Tao was frowning, Alpha suddenly said to Liu Tao: "I just tested the space system, and found that now the space system seems to be imprisoned by something, and we have no way to use space to transfer materials as we like." ”
"What did you say?" Alpha's news made Liu Tao's heart suddenly cold, his biggest reliance at present is the independent space that Alpha gave him, if the space can't be used, then his biggest reliance will be gone: "Isn't this made by yourself?" How could anyone be able to restrict it? What the hell is going on? ”
"I don't know, I just did a little test, the space can still be used, but when transferring items, you must consume energy points, the more materials you transfer, the more valuable the more energy points consumed." Alpha's tone was also full of doubts: "I have tested, it takes ten energy points to transfer a bottle of wine in your space, and according to my speculation, if you transfer a ton of food, you need at least a thousand energy points, and the proportion of the transfer I am trying to calculate." ”
"And the space seems to be imprisoned by something, unable to transfer living objects, which means that the master is now on your own. I can help you until the plane system is fixed, not much. There is also good news, the owner, the materials you have placed in the space are not under the control of this range. ”
"Damn, how did this happen? How many energy points do we have now? ”
"Less than two thousand, that is, the boss, you have to replenish new energy points, and in less than a week, our energy points will be exhausted." Alpha's tone was very cold, and it also revealed an anxious taste, and the consumption of energy points was completely out of his control, which made him very anxious.
Liu Tao also let out a cold sweat after listening to Alpha's words, the energy points were consumed too quickly, he obtained more than 4,000 energy points from the reality plane, and half of them were consumed in less than a week, if he wanted to use the space to transfer some materials, wouldn't he face the danger of being wiped out again?
The actual energy point is very easy to supplement, and the coal mine can naturally buy enough coal through Wang Hai's relationship, but now he is facing a shortage of soldiers and food in the plane of the Three Kingdoms, which makes Liu Tao feel countless dangers. If you can't quickly change your current predicament, there is no doubt that you will be the fastest person to die in the next war.
"Come on, bring me Zhang Xiancheng."
