Di Qing looked at Gan Qi, just looking forward to Gan Qi speaking at this moment and coming up with a countermeasure. Leading troops to fight is a thing, and Di Qing is better at it than Ganqi. But when encountering this kind of problem, Di Qing subconsciously pinned his hopes on Gan Qi.

Gan Qi didn't disappoint Di Qing, he really opened his mouth at this moment: "Uncle Di, the matter of grain and grass supply is not something that can be solved by a small county town like Lechang, let alone a small county town along the road." Here is still 3,000 miles away from Bianliang, trekking through mountains and rivers, no matter how fast the foot, it will take at least two months to walk. If there is no large amount of grain and grass into the camp, and the porridge is drunk like this every day, it will not be able to keep the soldiers from doing any disorderly. ”

"Dao Jian, you have a way, say it quickly, say it quickly." Di Qing heard Gan Qi speak, slightly excited.

Gan Qi looked at Di Qing and said, "Uncle Di, I brought money. ”

"You brought money?" Di Qing looked at Gan Qi in a daze.

Gan Qi nodded, and said, "I brought the money, and I brought it when I left the capital, just in case." ”

"Dao Jian, could it be that you already expected this?" Di Qing asked excitedly.

"I brought money out of Beijing just in case, but I really didn't expect today's events, although I brought a lot of money, but it is far from being able to support 8,000 people for more than a month's food and grass, if I can expect today, I will definitely bring more money on the road." Gan Qi also seemed to regret a little, regretting that since he had brought money out, why not bring a little more with him.

"How much money did you bring?" Di Qing asked.

"Three thousand." Gan Qi replied, this money is really brought out for backup, pulling 3,000 yuan from Bianliang for thousands of miles to Yongzhou, it is a thankless task, and there is no need to bring a little more.

Di Qing shook his head and sighed: "Three thousand guan, people eat horses and chew for two months, it is still far from enough." ”

Gan Qi also sighed: "Even if you have enough money, you can't buy so much grain if you go to a small city for hundreds of miles." Uncle Di, this season, where can there be a large amount of grain nearby? ”

Why did Gan Qi say that? Because now the army is located in Lechang, that is, near Chenzhou, which is mainly a hilly area, which is actually not a grain-producing area, and further north is Hengzhou, that is, Hengyang, which is still dominated by hilly terrain, and there is not much grain, and even the population is not dense compared to the plains.

Another problem is that this season is the height of summer, and it is not the season for the grain harvest in this area, and the grain will be harvested in autumn. The grain stock has been eaten for almost a year from last autumn to the present, and the grain stock will not be much.

Cutting off food for the army in this place, it can be seen how Han Qi spent his brains to dig out his mind, just to make Di Qing's henchmen and army chaotic, and they couldn't buy much with money, even if they plundered the army, they couldn't grab much food.

Di Qing thought for a while, pointed to the north, and said: "Dao Jian, only Tanzhou is here, and there is grain in Tanzhou." ”

Where is Tanzhou? It is Changsha, Changsha is different, there are large basins and plains, which is a place of production, where the population is large, the city is also prosperous, and there is a grain store that can afford to feed the army.

"Tanzhou? How far is Tanzhou from here? Ganch's mind was racing.

Di Qing calculated, and didn't know what Gan Qi was planning, but looked at Gan Qi expectantly, and said, "More than four hundred miles, at most five hundred miles." ”

"Horses come and go, four days?" Ganchi asked again.

"In this season, the days are long and the nights are short, and you can barely walk back and forth in four or five days." Di Qing helped Gan Qi calculate, a round trip in four or five days, that is, walking 200 miles a day, 100 kilometers, riding horses, and crossing mountains and rivers on the way, it should be enough.

Of course, horses do not run, but walk. Horses are not machines, it is impossible to gallop all the way, horses are the same as people, fast galloping can only hold on to a certain distance, and hitting horses to rush is actually horses walking at a normal pace. Unless you rush the method of changing horses along the way, you can keep galloping at high speed.

Gan Qi frowned again in thought.

Seeing that Gan Qi was silent, Di Qing was a little anxious, and asked, "Dao Jian really has a way?" ”

After a while, Gan Qicai replied: "There is a way, but I don't know if it will work, I won't know until I do it." Later, all the horses and carriages in the camp were gathered, and I took them to Tanzhou to transport grain. Leave tonight and stay outside Lechang City. ”

"Dao Jian, how can you transport grain and grass from Tanzhou?" Di Qing asked suspiciously.

"Uncle Di and rest assured first, it should be possible, don't steal or rob, I will go to Tanzhou, I will stay in Tanzhou for a day, and then I will take the food back to the camp, Uncle Di will not deduct the rations of the soldiers in the camp tomorrow, the soldiers will not be able to rush if they are not full, and they will try to buy more in Lechang tomorrow, so that the soldiers will be full and hurry. And so within five days, the new grain arrived in the camp, and all was well. Ganchi said.

Di Qing looked at Gan Qi, became excited again, and stepped forward to hold Gan Qi's hand: "Dao Jian, what you said is true?" Can you really bring back grain and grass? ”

Gan Qi was actually not so sure in his heart, but at this time he nodded solemnly: "If you go to Tanzhou here, you will definitely be able to come back with enough food." Uncle Di, you quickly go and gather all the horses and carriages in the camp, I will leave now, I can't delay it for a long time. ”

Gan Qi knew in his heart that the top priority at this time was that the catastrophe in front of him must pass, if this big battalion could not have food and grass in time, the consequences were really unimaginable, once there was really a rebellion, Di Qing was full of mouths, and it was impossible to explain clearly in front of the emperor, and even Di Qing would never have the opportunity to see the emperor again in his life, but he was afraid that before he entered Beijing, he would be surrounded and suppressed by people from all walks of life. Hit Tokyo to see the emperor? That's an even more impossible thing, if they all fight, then there is no room for maneuver at all, Di Qing is the thief who must be exterminated.

As for the rest, that's a story for later. After this catastrophe, I am qualified to think about those things like revenge in the future.

Di Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, go and gather all the horses and carriages in the camp, and do it quickly." ”

"Yes!" Pang Dang and his generals hurriedly went out to assemble the horses and carriages.

Gan Qi also went out of the big tent and went back to clean up, mainly to collect the three thousand yuan.

Zhao Zonghan also hurriedly followed, and asked worriedly behind Gan Qi: "Dao Jian, do you have someone who is familiar with the powerful in Tanzhou?" Can you really bring back food from Tanzhou? ”

"I don't know anyone in Tanzhou, but I'm going to bring food back." Ganchi replied.

"I'll go with you." Zhao Zonghan said.

Gan Qi did not refuse, and replied: "Well, you bring all your things, go to Tanzhou to do good things, and you and I will go back to Bianliang directly." ”

"Huh? Directly back to Bianliang? Don't you send grain and grass to the camp? Zhao Zonghan asked.

"Escort the grain and grass for Di Yong to do, if we don't hurry back to Bianliang first, something big will happen." Gan Qi said.

Zhao Zonghan nodded again and again: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

In the evening, Gan Qi rushed along the road with more than two hundred horses and seventy or eighty carriages in Di Qing's face full of anticipation and hope, and only a few dozen henchmen around him, and he was going to Lechang fifty miles away tonight.

Di Qing, who returned to the big tent, frowned, still worried in his heart, not for a moment, but gritted his teeth again, and the hatred in his heart was naturally the murderous Han Qi, such a vicious plan, Di Qing, who had endured it all his life, was furious in his heart at this time.
