For three whole days, Wang Bu's head was drowsy.

As soon as I close my eyes every day, my mind is full of scenes of talking with Li You that day.

There are not so many intrigues, although he has been on guard, although Li You has always known about it, but from beginning to end, the two talked about it very happily.

The morale and morale of the army are getting higher and higher day by day.

Li You's head is still very useful at this moment.

The son of the prime minister, the commander of Mikawa.

What does it mean to kill such a big official?

It simply speaks for itself.

On this day, Wang Buyi changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and Zhang Buyi followed with a few guards in the same casual clothes.

Since the capture of Xingyang, the power of Wang Buyu's men has skyrocketed again.

The number of troops has increased from 80,000 at the time of arrival to 100,000 now, if you count the 50,000 stationed in Aocang, now Wang Buxing is also a bigwig-level figure with 150,000 troops.

Moreover, the 150,000 troops of Wang Bu are not hungry, and the battle is not the ordinary kind.

More than 20,000 people in the early stage have undergone at least three months of rigorous training.

Those who joined later were more or less trained for a period of time, and Wang Buxing deliberately recruited those who had served in the military, so the military foundation was much better.

The more than 30,000 people received from Wu Guang, although they are not elite, they are also old birds who have been fighting for several months, and their role should not be underestimated.

And the more than 20,000 people in Xingyang City, not to mention.

Under Li You's control, the offense may be insufficient, but if it is used for defense, it is absolutely fine.

What's more.

Now the whole situation has completely changed.

Wang Bu is not hungry now, not only has more soldiers, but also has more food.

There are more than 3 million stones in Aocang and more than 4 million stones in Xingyang, if it weren't for Wu Guang's early arrival, there would be more food hoarded here.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the king is not hungry and has 500,000 troops in his hands, this grain will be enough for them to eat for a whole year.

But some accounts are not counted that way.

Although Xingyang was captured, there were no problems.

Guan Ying suggested that some troops should be replenished in Xingyang, after all, there would never be too many troops in their line of work.

And if they can recruit troops here, they can also solve certain troubles, so that they dare not easily return to the arms of the imperial court again.

Your family fought and rebelled against the Qin army in front, and you want to surrender? Do you want to have a head?

Although the plan was good, however, the recruitment process did not go smoothly.

"His father...... His father...... You stop! Stop, ......."

A thin black woman was full of anxiety, and with tears on her face, she shouted to the man in front of her.

"Go back!" The middle-aged man stopped and scolded the woman behind him.

"Don't go! Don't go......" The woman looked at the middle-aged man silently.

"What are you going to eat if I don't go? Are you starving to death? I've already asked someone to give you a message to your mother's house, your brother will probably come over tomorrow, and then you can follow him back to your mother's house and hide for a while! The middle-aged man said reluctantly.

But what if you can't give up?

There is no food in the house, and the reduction in production around Xingyang this year can be imagined with closed eyes.

This battle was fought from the previous year to the new year, and the spring planting was all delayed, and even in September, there was no grain to harvest.

The two most feared points of time in ancient wars, spring planting and autumn harvest, once the war occurred at this point in time, then it was almost foreseeable that there would be a large-scale famine in the coming year.

"But you just came back, and you didn't even look at the child a few times, so you really left so ruthlessly?"

Speaking of the child, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned and a little guilty, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if I die, you can just take my life money and raise the child with peace of mind." ”

Hearing this, Wang Buxing had almost determined what had happened to this family.

"This old brother, since it's a separation, why is it so sad?" The king is not hungry and sees the stitches.

"What if it weren't?"

"You can hide it from her first, and this trip may not be lifeless."

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" The middle-aged man was visibly nervous.

"I guessed, in fact, I have the same idea as you, but before I defect, I plan to observe it first, and see if the king is not hungry and worth it." Wang Bu said with a deep face.

"The value is definitely worth it......" The middle-aged man was also defenseless, looked at the woman who was crying not far away, and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law gave birth to a boy for me a few years ago, I went to my mother's house to report the good news, but when I came back, I found that there was a war, I was in a hurry and couldn't do it, but I couldn't come back, so I had no choice but to go to my father-in-law's house to live temporarily, leaving their mother in the city."

During that time, everyone had a hard time, and a boy in the village of Zhang's family suddenly came back after the New Year, and lost a hand, saying that he had found a good master's family, and was willing to give him a way to live, and he would take some money and food to the family every year in the future.

Later, I heard that he didn't have that hand when he was fighting, and Wang Gongzi arranged a place for those wounded soldiers, that is, to help the soldiers with logistics, sew and mend something, do whatever they can, and give a lot of money and food.

On this basis alone, Wang Gongzi is worth following. ”

"In this way, Wang Gongzi recruited troops, and there should be many responders, why are there not many people who went to apply for the army these days?" Wang Bu was hungry and wondered.

According to this middle-aged man, his reputation among the people is very good and trustworthy.

So corresponding to this result, is it the sequelae of the plug-in? For example, the traffic brought by sending red envelopes is useless?

"Hey, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, the county guard will distribute some food every few days, which can make people barely survive, and won't the food in the family be saved? Although he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, if he has food at home, who wants to be a soldier to fight? Not to mention dying on the battlefield, even if it fails, the court will have to settle accounts afterwards. ”

Wang Buxing nodded, realizing that the reason for not being able to recruit soldiers was not the sequelae of cheating, nor was it because of the red envelopes, but the result of not panicking when there was food at home.

The people can wait, but they can't.

The front-line scouts reported that Zhang Han did not rush to march after defeating Zhou Wen in Mianchi, but rested on the spot.

It is uncertain exactly when it will be, but Wang Bu is hungry and has to be prepared at all times.

Once Zhang Han's army was launched, he had to immediately take his troops out of the city and look for opportunities outside the city.

It was impossible for Zhang Han to wait until the people in Xingyang City ran out of food.

Therefore, he must do something, there is still a long way to go, not to say that he will build a city, this city is his own, and the people here will not have a special view of themselves because of this.
