Chapter 136: Temporary Arrangement
After a series of chaotic farces, Lin Feng temporarily settled the injured Niu Fei in Jiedu Mansion, and after being examined by the military doctor, it was confirmed that there was no major problem, Lin Feng was a little relieved, and then he went to the main hall of Jiedu Mansion with everyone to discuss important matters.
When they arrived at the main hall, after Lin Feng motioned for everyone to sit down one after another, Li Xiaofeng took the lead in reporting: "Brother-in-law, the battle damage has been counted. ”
"Tell me about it." Lin Feng replied lightly and raised his hand to signal.
"In the first battle of Chengdu Mansion, our army's baggage was almost exhausted, with more than 3,000 soldiers killed and nearly 10,000 wounded. A total of more than 23,000 troops from Jiannan Province were accommodated, and more than 10,000 rebels were killed or wounded. The total number of rebels who escaped from Chengdu should be around 15,000. With that, Li Xiaofeng got up and handed over a detailed manual of the casualties of each army that had been counted to Lin Feng, and at the same time added in a low voice: "In addition, the number of forbidden troops such as the surrendered Shence Army, Long Wuwei and others is about 40,000. ”
"Hmm." Lin Feng took the manual and flipped through it casually, although he had already expected the result to be very serious, but after the real numbers were placed in front of him, he still felt a little heartache. Then, Lin Feng felt upset, threw the book in his hand on the table casually, waved his hand at everyone, and changed the topic: "I saw the loss, what is the gain?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" Tang Yi below stood up and nodded, but then he looked at Zhuge Cheng on the side: "Mr. Zhuge , you should report to Lord Hou!" ”
In fact, there is a problem in the Feng family's army, that is, there are many generals who can go into battle and kill, but there is a bit of a "resource deficit" in terms of logistics. It's not that the generals under Lin Feng's command are all simple reckless people, but most of those people are not very interested in words and numbers. Although Zhou Chen, as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, has worked very hard in normal times, these things are not something he can do completely by himself. Needless to say, Li Xiaofeng and Mao Hao are completely war maniacs, if it is a military book, the two of them may have their eyes glow after seeing it, but if it is some daily affairs, the two of them are hiding farther than the other.
Further down, Yin Bo, Gao Jian and others are no less fanatical about war than the first two, and they are both young people, and they are generally unwilling to chew on words and brains in front of a large number of books all day long. At the same time, everyone usually likes a poem very much, and the fame is only taken from the horse, which is really a heroic husband. In addition, everyone has been promoted very quickly in recent years, and they regard military exploits as the top priority, and it is also regarded as a shortcut to quickly become a marquis and pay homage to the generals. Therefore, compared with managing logistics, everyone still attaches more importance to war.
Although most of the people are like this, it is inevitable that there will be some individuals, among which Tang Yi is one of them, and now he is also in the high-level of the Feng family's army. Coupled with Zhuge Cheng, who didn't know how to go into battle to kill the enemy, the two became important people in charge of logistics temporarily.
"Hmm!" Zhuge Cheng was not modest, he stood up according to Tang Yi's proposal, and after giving Lin Feng a salute first, he began to report the results: "Master Hou, this battle was panicked due to the retreat of the rebels, and our army was well protected after entering the city, so the grain, grass, baggage, and treasury in the city were relatively intact. The captured grain and grass alone is enough for our army to last for more than 20 days, plus the continuous transportation from the rear Hanzhong Mansion, in the subsequent thieves, our army does not have to worry about grain and grass! ”
"Well, that's a big bonus!" Finally, Lin Feng stretched his brows a little after hearing the news, his tense face relaxed a little, nodded at Zhuge Cheng, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhuge now, what our army needs most now is ballistas, including trebuchets, stone bullets, and even siege tower vehicles, etc., this time our army actually took advantage, after all, the rebels in the city are not aligned!" But if he attacks south again, Chen Jingxuan will definitely avoid this kind of mistake from happening again! So what awaits us next is the real tough battle! ”
"Hou Ye rest assured, when he first entered the city, Deputy Envoy Zhou had already sent people to start searching for various craftsmen in the city. It is estimated that work will start before tomorrow afternoon at the latest! Zhuge Cheng nodded and smiled at Lin Feng, and said with a guarantee: "With the existing craftsmen in the army, as long as there are enough materials, they will definitely be able to supply the army!" ”
"Good! I'm relieved to have your words! Lin Feng was also a little relieved in his heart, after all, he also knew that it was not entirely his strength that he was able to capture Chengdu Mansion this time, but by coincidence and accident. If it weren't for the Zhongshu in the city to help Liu Yonghao and others at a critical moment, the Feng family army might not be able to take Chengdu Mansion in a battle. And for siege cities, of course, siege equipment is the most important. After receiving Zhuge Cheng's assurance, Lin Feng raised his head to Zhou Chen again: "Zhou Chen, this matter will be handed over to you!" Fully assist Mr. Zhuge in his affairs, no matter what the problem is, find a way to solve it! ”
"Yes!" Zhou Chen solemnly hugged his fists, nodded heavily, and then bowed his hand to Zhuge Chengyi, and said with a polite smile: "Mr. Zhuge , if there is anything you need, just open your mouth!" ”
"Deputy Envoy Zhou is polite! If you need help, you will be tired! Zhuge Cheng also bowed his hand in return and replied with a polite smile.
"Pan Xianxian!" When the two of them were polite, Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed at Pan Zhigang below, and said with an apologetic smile: "Send a scout team from your vanguard camp to rush to our army's camp before dawn, and the whole army will set up camp and arrive at Chengdu Mansion before dawn." ”
"Order! This will be arranged! Pan Zhigang was also refreshed, there was still a thick tiredness on his face just now, as soon as he heard the order, the whole person immediately became energetic, and quickly got up and hugged his fists to receive his life.
"Wait!" Lin Feng smiled helplessly, stopped the "acute son" who was about to leave, groaned slightly, waved his hand at Mao Hao and added, "Hmm... Such! Xiao Hao, send the elite of a winged cavalry regiment to go together, and you must protect the safety of the holy car! ”
"Hmmm! I understand! I personally selected people and let Mao Xi personally lead the team! Mao Hao also knew that this was not a trivial matter, nodded with a serious expression, and said his thoughts.
"Alright, that's all for tonight!" Lin Feng lowered his head and thought about it again, and after thinking that he had missed nothing, he glanced at the hourglass on the side, only to realize that the time was almost over, so he got up and dismissed everyone: "It's not too early!" Everyone must be tired! Get a good night's rest! After the Feng family army enters the city tomorrow, be sure to replace the important defenses in the city before noon! Tonight's situation can't happen again! ”
"Order!" Everyone also got up one after another, clasping their fists in unison to receive their lives.
