After listening to Wu Li's words, Jia Ke directly ordered the following: "Since Wu is in charge of the book, I have no opinions, then I will make a decision." You are right, now we should be in the same boat, from today onwards, all soldiers and strong men will be given 40 percent less food, and the elderly, women, and children will be given 50 percent of their food. No one shall hoard food, and whoever violates the order shall be beheaded. ”

There was a hundred households in this school who stood up and said to Jia Ke: "Adult, why do children also distribute food according to 50%?" ”

Jia Ke glanced at him and saw that he was not dissatisfied with himself, but was purely worried that there would not be enough food and would not be able to hold out until the arrival of winter. And seeing that this was not his own doubt, he patiently explained to him and to the generals below: "Children are our future, we Kaiping Weizhong soldiers' homes, there are no children in that family, we can't starve them?" They don't have much food now, if it is only distributed in 30%, I am afraid that many children will not last until winter, let them live, this is our responsibility, otherwise why should we guard this castle and confront the Tatars. ”

The following generals were all convinced after listening to Jia Ke's words, after all, everyone has children, that is, their own family does not have them, and which of their relatives does not have a few children, so they bowed down to Jia Ke and hugged their fists and said: "Obey the orders of adults." ”

"Zheng Kai took your hundred households, opened a big search in the city, every household must be searched, all the grain must be centralized and handed over to the government for management, but there is no forgiveness for those who obstruct it, but you must make it clear to the people, and wait until the siege of Kaipingwei is lifted, and the government will compensate for it." Jia Ke then ordered.

Zheng Kai hugged his fist at Jia Ke expressionlessly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my humble position will definitely live up to my trust." ”

Jia Ke looked below and asked, "Chen Xi, are you here?" ”

Chen Xi hurriedly came out from the back and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, Chen Xi is here." ”

Jia Ke asked, "What is our current ration standard?" ”

Chen Xi, as the chief bookkeeper of Kaipingwei, is mainly responsible for logistics. This is very clear, and when he heard Jia Ke ask, he quickly replied: "Lord Qiyu, now because soldiers and strong men are going to the battlefield, their daily rations are one catty and five taels, women and the elderly are one catty a day, and children are eight taels a day. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words and thought about it, and said to the following: "It's almost enough, at least we won't starve to death for a few months." ”

"There is one more thing, don't tell the people below about anything today, otherwise our military morale may be chaotic, and before the time comes, our city will be breached by our own people." Jia Ke finally instructed them.

After Jia Ke said these words, he let them disperse, and he returned to the study first. Thinking about what else is missing, and what benefits can I get after the war? Thinking about whether to reconcile with Wang Tao or bring him down when the time comes. Which one is best for you?

In the days that followed, the Tatars and Jake were completely consumed. If you don't come out and hit me, I won't hit you, just around you.

Under Jia Ke's strict control of grain, although there have been some fluctuations, there is no problem on the whole. There has been no starvation death for so long.

Nearly two months have passed in a flash, and Kaipingwei can still hold on, but the Tatars can't hold on a little. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and although it has not snowed yet, many soldiers are still suffering from frostbite. After all, the clothes they wear are still autumnal.

The tribal leaders are becoming more and more unbearable, and they have been here for almost three months. Not only did they lose their troops, but they also gained nothing. And the tribe doesn't know what happened to you? I don't know if the grain for this year's winter has been shipped back? What they were most worried about was whether anyone was watching their treasure during their absence.

Not only the leaders of the tribes, but also the ordinary cavalry below made even more trouble. If it weren't for the full strength of the leaders to suppress it, I'm afraid it would have been scattered in a hurry at that time.

Arslen Khan had sensed the danger, and he knew that the time was almost too late to stay here any longer. Now not to mention the riots of the soldiers under the tribes, even his own people are not in peace. If he insists on going his own way, he will not be able to return to the grassland.

Arslen Khan walked out of his big tent and looked at the Kaiping Guarded City in the distance, and felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the past three months, he has had several sneak attacks in the hope of breaking through the city wall and attacking Kaipingwei. But Jia Ke was too cautious. Day or night? There is hardly a hint of relaxation. Every time he sneaked up, he was discovered before he reached the city walls. Then he threw down hundreds of corpses and fled.

Arslen Khan has already made a decision, and in the next few days he is ready to withdraw his troops and return to the steppe for the winter. There is no way for him to take this Jia Ke. Thinking of Jia Ke's bravery and his cautious use of soldiers, I couldn't help but feel envious in my heart. I envy that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty has such a capable person under his command.

He didn't know that Jia Ke was completely inheriting Lu Bu from the army. And Lu Bu used his soldiers to go straight and straight, without any tricks, which made Jia Ke very weak every time he went out into battle. Therefore, he thought about it and came up with a way, that is, to learn from Zhuge Liang, he couldn't learn Zhuge Liang, how wise and close to the demon. But he can learn from Zhuge Liang's prudence, isn't there such a sentence? "Zhuge has only been cautious in his life." So Jia Ke now, try to think of perfection in any situation. Without leaving a single flaw, his current combat policy is to be cautious, cautious, and cautious, not to think of victory before thinking about defeat, and not thinking about advancing before thinking of retreating. It was also because of Jake's prudence that the Tatars were discovered every time they attacked in a sneak attack. This creates an illusion that Jia Ke is like a god and can anticipate the enemy's opportunities every time.

And when the Tatars were preparing to retreat, to return to the steppe. Xuanfu Town is also spending time in anxiety now.

The festival made Wang Tao unable to sleep at night in the past three months. The scouts he sent came back in waves. The message is the same every time I come back. "Kaipingwei is still holding on, and the Tatars can't attack Kaipingwei for a long time."

Wang Tao now has only one thought, that is, he hopes that the Tatars will quickly capture Kaipingwei, so that he will have a reason to refuse to send troops.

If the Tatars could not attack Kaipingwei for a long time, they finally had to retreat. Then he's in big trouble. To say that it is just mediocre and incompetent, if it is said to be large, it is to sit and watch the success or failure of friendly forces, and have ill intentions.

Now the main thing is that he has not reported this war on the border. The current emperor and the courtiers did not know that this war of tens of thousands of people was taking place on the border.

Now he regretted that if he had followed Gao Hong's advice at that time, he would not have sent troops with all his strength, but he sent rangers to harass the Tatars, and in the end he had something to say.

But now there is no way out for me. The only hope is that the Tatars will break through the Kaiping Guard and there will be no proof of death.

But what made Wang Tao angry was that this Jia Ke didn't look at his young age, he actually used soldiers like a god. With only a few thousand soldiers and horses, the Kaiping guards are impregnable. The Tatars had no way to take him with tens of thousands of horses.

Now there are bad rumors in the army, all of which say that he is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and he deliberately did not save Kai Pingwei and wanted to treat Jia Ke and die. This is completely wronging him, he and Jia Ke have only met once in total. And he is a dignified envoy of moderation, and he is jealous of a small royal house, and he is not sick.

The more Wang Tao thought about it, the more irritated he became, and now he didn't know what to do at all. He needed someone to give him advice, and at this time he thought of Gao Hong, a strategist he had been neglecting for months, and he must be able to help him solve his dilemma by now with Gao Feng's resourcefulness.
