Chapter 19: Grain and Horses

There is no doubt about the importance of grain and grass, and everyone attaches great importance to Gongsun Du's words.

However, attention is attention, and in the end of some discussions, no useful results were obtained.

First, Liaodong is even dilapidated, there are not many people, you can imagine how much food there is, even if there is, it is the only ration that people have, and it may not be enough for the family to eat, how to pay the grain tax, if Gongsun Du is a ruthless person, he is just here to make a little merit, just grab it directly, but no, he wants to really hold Liaodong in his hands and prepare for the future hegemony of the world.

Second, everyone will not have the ability to make something out of nothing, buy, then forget it, no money is the key, the only little money, it is estimated that it will be less than a month to buy, of course, whether you can buy it is still a problem.

Third, they are military generals, and it's okay to march and fight, but if you want to talk about logistics, it's a bit of a chicken-and-duck feeling. At this time, Xu Rong, Liu Yi, and Yang Yi were not generals who could be in charge of thousands or tens of thousands of horses many years later, and they lacked experience. Jiaolu, easy to paint, can be ignored. As for Gongsun Du, in the first life, he was just an ordinary person, and the country was not short of food and drink at all, so he didn't need to think about these at all, so how could he understand this; In the second life, he crossed halfway, and in order to lower Li Er's vigilance, he rarely asked about these things, and he still didn't understand; The third life, that is, now, has not been here for a long time, and the time to escape for life has taken up less than half, and I still don't understand.

In the end, this matter still fell to Gongsun Du, there was no way, although he was a captain, although he was actually just a Qu Chang now, but he was the superior of Xu Rong and others after all, and he didn't do it.

That night, Gongsun Du thought hard all night, and finally had some ideas, so he called Yangyi.

After Yang Yi came, Gongsun Du didn't talk about his thoughts for the first time, but said to him: "Zhengyan, do you think that the captain of the pro-soldier is not worth paying attention to?" ”

Yang Yi originally thought that there was something for him to do, but when he came, he was excited, but when he heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, general, I feel very honored, I can be the captain of the general's personal army, this is my ......"

Gongsun Du interrupted him, frowned and said, "Do you know the duties of the soldiers?" Why do I have to find someone to call you when I want to find you? ”

As soon as Yang Yi heard this, he understood, and said, "General, the main purpose of the personal soldiers is to protect the general and convey the general's orders, I know this. But wasn't the general's pro-soldier corps formed only yesterday? How can it be ...... so quickly?"

Gongsun Du interrupted him again and said, "This is not a reason, I know that after you went down yesterday, you picked people first, and also started training, and you are very busy." But you have to be clear that I can't have no one around me, you can arrange for two people to follow me so that I can convey my orders, and the rest of the people will train, and then so on. Instead of having me go around looking for someone and having him call you. Got it? ”

Yang Yi is just straightforward, and his brain is a little simpler, but it doesn't mean that he is a big old man who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, he is still relatively smart, otherwise he would not have become a confidant under Gongsun Du in history. After all, it is not enough to be loyal to a confidant general.

Yes, Yang Yi bowed and said: "I'm sorry, general, this is all my negligence, so that I delayed the general's time, delayed the general's major affairs, and asked the general to punish!" ”

Gongsun Du said: "Negligence is indeed your negligence, and there are punishments, but now is the time to employ people, and you will be allowed to make meritorious contributions, are you willing?" ”

Yang Yi nodded hurriedly and said, "The last general is willing!" ”

"Good!" Gongsun Du said with a smile, "Now immediately take the pro-army team to search the uninhabited houses in the city to find out what food may be hidden in them, especially those mansions that used to be some people, and they must be searched clearly." ”

Yang Yi said excitedly: "Yes, General, the last general will ensure that this thing will be done beautifully." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing his impatient appearance, Gongsun Du was a little uneasy, and quickly stopped him and ordered: "Be careful not to affect the people in the city, and it is best not to let them see it, so as not to affect our reputation." ”

"Yes, General!" Yang Yi departed.

Just when Yang Yi's back was about to disappear, Gongsun Du remembered something again and shouted at him: "And don't forget, leave two people for me, don't make the same mistake twice." ”

"Got it, General!" Yang Yi's voice came from afar. Not to mention, if it weren't for Gongsun Du's reminder, he would have really forgotten about it as soon as he was excited.

This method is the result of Gongsun Du's thinking for a night, because in the past twenty days or so, he has learned that when the heroes and people in the city fled from the city, they were in a bit of a hurry, and there should be a lot of things left, especially the grain and grass that is not very valuable, but heavy enough and large enough. He didn't want to do this before, mainly because he was afraid of bad influence, but now he can't take care of it so much.

The problem of grain and grass is temporarily solved, and the next thing is the agreement with Xu Rong.

Gongsun Du had already planned for this matter, so he shouted: "Come on! ”

This time, there is no need for Gongsun Du to go out to find someone, Yangyi's movements are quite fast, and he has already arranged a personal soldier to guard at the door. Hearing the call, he pushed the door and walked in, saying, "General! ”

Gongsun Du looked at the unfamiliar movements of his own soldiers, smiled in his heart, and said, "Go and find my horse, and you can find one yourself." ”

The pro-soldiers were a little embarrassed when they heard this, and they didn't know how to deal with it. Gongsun Du was not angry, after all, it was not anyone's fault, so he said: "Ben will know that all the horses are used for cavalry training, and when you see Xu Rong, tell him that Ben will find him a horse, I believe he will agree." ”

After a pause, Gongsun Du's eyes became sharp, as if he was about to pierce into the heart of his own soldiers: "Also, you have to remember that as the general's personal soldiers, no matter what kind of orders the general gives, you just need to remember to convey it." Do you understand? ”

The soldiers were a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, general...... Checkmate. ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand when he heard this, signaling that he could leave. The soldiers hurriedly withdrew, but because the fear in their hearts was still there, they tripped and fell when they went out.

Gongsun Duda felt speechless, touched his chin and thought: Should I be gentler in the future? Lest all the soldiers have nothing but fear and no respect for me? Admire?

Not to mention this stubble, the soldiers quickly prepared the horses according to Gongsun Du's order, and came to reply: "General Qiyu, the horses are ready." ”

Gongsun Du also changed his clothes at this time, picked up Mo Gao, and said, "Okay, let's set off immediately." ”

"Yes, General." After the soldiers were finished, they cautiously followed behind Gongsun Du and walked to the gate of the barracks.

When he arrived at the gate of the barracks, Gongsun Du found that there were soldiers guarding the door, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Who are you?" ”

One of the soldiers replied: "General Qiyu, we are soldiers under Tun Chang Xu, and the tun commander arranged for us to be on guard here. ”

"Ting Fangguo has the talent of a general!"

Gongsun Du was very satisfied with Xu Rong's arrangement, and said, "Very good! I guess you know who Ben will be? ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du looked at the soldier who replied, and when he saw him nodding, he said again: "Tell you the tun chief, what he did, I would have been very satisfied." ”

Then, without waiting for the soldier to reply, he turned on his horse and said to his own soldiers: "Go, let's go at once, or we won't be able to come back before dark." ”

"Driving~" Gongsun Du raised his horsewhip, sat down and ran out.

The soldiers hurriedly answered, and they also hurriedly got on their horses and followed. It's just that the action is a little rusty. It seems that he doesn't seem to know how to do it very much, and even if he does, it may have been a long time ago, and he is not so skilled now.

After running not far, Gongsun Du discovered this problem, couldn't help patting his head, and said secretly: Why did I forget to let Zhengyan leave a personal soldier who can ride a horse? Is......

Thinking about it, Gongsun Du still lowered the speed of his horse, waited for his own soldiers to follow, and personally instructed him in his equestrian skills. I have to say that Gongsun Du has Li Yuanba's experience, and his equestrian skills are very good. However, because of this, although Gongsun Du finally returned to the barracks before dark, what he wanted to do was not done.

Fortunately, he didn't think about it in one day, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed on ten days.

For three or four days in a row, Gongsun Du went out early and returned late every day. And because the pro-soldier got his guidance on the first day, his riding skills improved quickly, and he didn't look for Yang Yi to replace him. At the same time, Gongsun Du also learned his name, surnamed Zhao, Mingming, I heard that it was because when his mother gave birth to him, it was about to dawn, and the rooster crowed, so he took "Ming".

This made Gongsun Du embarrassed for the ancients' naming technique, but fortunately it was not taken from "chicken", or "gong" or the like, otherwise......
