Huang Che's fleet arrived at Jiangquan around midnight on the second day, and Huang Che wanted to withdraw the rest of the sailors and their families to Xingcheng, but Bailiyan was not allowed:

"Deputy marshal, seeing that more than 200,000 rebels are coming, there are still more than 20,000 small ones in the city that have not been withdrawn, and if they don't withdraw, it will be too late."

"General Huang, don't worry, this commander has inquired clearly, the rebel army has only enough food and grass for eight or nine days, as long as our army intercepts the three granaries of Taiqin, Ye Feng, and Xuandi, the rebels will definitely be defeated."

"But there are more than 10 million stone of grain and grass in the three major warehouses, where can my ship have time to transport it."

"The Zhijun Navy and the cargo ship are already on the way, and they will arrive in Taiqin in two days at the earliest, and it is more than enough to move all the grain and grass in Taiqin's warehouse. As long as our army holds the Biqing River, so that the rebels cannot cross the river, and waits for grain and grass to be transferred, 200,000 rebels can be trapped and killed. The siege of Jiangquan and Tingshan was self-relieved. ”

"It's a lot of attention, I'll have to think about it."

Although Huang Che doesn't know a few big words, he is a successful gambler, very shrewd, and in most cases he can and cannot calculate very clearly.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Che said:

"I pondered, no matter how smooth it was, the grain and grass in Ye Feng's warehouse would not be able to move. At that time, if the thunder comes from the north, the situation will not be the same. ”

"How much can be moved, and what can't be moved will be burned."

"Burn it!" Huang Che was taken aback: "How much grain does that cost." ”

"All the grain burned in the war will be brought in by the Xian country, and there will be enough to fill the burned grain and grass. At that time, if the rebels really hit the city, it would be enough to evacuate the people of the city with Zhiguo's boats, but at present, the Biqing River needs to be cut off as soon as possible, and the westward rebels cannot be allowed to cross the river. ”

"Nacheng, let's go today?"

"Yes, let's go today."

When the words fell, Bai Liyan and Gu Zhong said:

"General Gu, you withdraw Su Hong, Baihewu Battalion and your 6,000 men from the ship into Jiangquan City to repair and guard, replace the soldiers and horses in the city on the ship, and the rest of the men and horses on the ship will continue to march west with me."

"No!"

I have to say that Huang Che is a Hunjiang dragon in the lower reaches of the Sishui River, and everything is calculated inseparably eight, nine, and ten.

The transportation capacity of the Zhijun expedition to the west has 3 million stones, and the transportation capacity that can be quickly mobilized in a short period of time is 8.9 million stones, and the transportation capacity of hundreds of thousands of stones will be transferred within a month, and it will only take about 20 days to move away from Taiqincang.

There will be at least ten days and a half months before the thunder arrives at Dekang, in order to save time, the first batch of grain and grass transferred by Xuan Di will go ashore in Jiangquan, and Zhiguo's fleet will arrive in large numbers, and the second grain in Xuan Di Cang is far more than the first batch of food, and a batch can be taken away through Ye Fengcang.

This batch of grain will be transported directly to Changyin County, and when the fleet returns to Dekang again, then work with Huang Che to remove most of Ye Fengcang's grain stockpile, burn the surplus, and finally dock at Jiangquan to load away the grain, grass and population.

The whole process is simple and methodical, but it is not easy for ordinary people to think of this layer.

Huang Che is not like the new generation of military attaches in the Xian Army, many of them have been trained in professional logistics through the lecture martial arts, Huang Che is a complete old man, he can think of this layer, and his decades of experience are not grown by eating rice.

The real mystery of war lies not in the fighting on the front line, but in the turnover of logistics, and half of the ten wars were defeated by logistics, three by officialdom, and two by generals and soldiers.

The deep-seated reason for the Black Turban Army's transformation from prosperity to decline was the failure of its logistical and internal affairs, which eventually led to military failure.

Of course, logistics is a broad definition, parcel marching camp, enemy reconnaissance, intelligence analysis, are all part of the general definition of logistics.

Comprehensively in generals, it is often easy to equate with the generals' strategies, which is actually not the same thing.

A large part of the general's wisdom comes from logistics and experience, and the factors that really need to use the intelligence of decision-makers are not too many in nature.

Soon after getting on the boat, Huang Che opened a gambling game in the cabin, and asked Bai Liyan if he wanted to bet:

"Vice marshal, why don't you have a few games?"

Bai Liyan looked at the gambling equipment on the table, and actually thought about another thing in his heart, this Huang Che really didn't know how to write dead words, so he gambled in front of himself, and changed to other generals, and sooner or later he used this as an excuse to cut off his head.

Thinking of this, he said:

"General Huang, there will be no war in the future, does General Huang have other plans?"

"We are all rough people, what kind of business comes with money and what do we do quickly. Of course, those previous deeds naturally cannot be done anymore. So I heard that the business of Xianguo is very big, and the deputy marshal holds the good goods of Yongxing City, or the deputy marshal gives a way, how about we make a fortune. Huang Che asked tentatively, his eyes full of longing.

"It's no problem to get rich, but Ben Shuai has to remind General Huang today that after the world is peaceful, Ben Shuai will not be in charge of the three armies, so if General Huang is still serving in the navy, other commanders may not be able to tolerate General Huang's gambling and greed for alcohol. Therefore, if General Huang wants to find a way out in the future, you can go to Chenling to find Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai will give you a way to make money. ”

"Hehaha...... Well, that's a deal. ”

Huang Che's nature is not bad, at best he is a little prodigal and unscrupulous, whoever gives him pleasure, who he gives convenience, and whoever doesn't pleasure him, he can immediately turn his face.

It is foreseeable that after the four counties are defeated, King Xian will not let Bailiyan take charge of the three armies again, and Huang Che and other generals will make a wish for a few years, which will inevitably become a problem that the inner dynasty needs to solve.

With Baili Yan to protect, most of the generals who know each other can have a good death, and those who don't know each other can only wait for the fate of being killed and removed.

Huang Che is obviously the former, but his navy will be very tricky, once the dissatisfaction is aroused, the gang will flee into the river to do evil, it will inevitably become a huge hidden danger.

Water bandits are different from mountain bandits on land, the strength of the water army is far less than the number of infantry troops, the water area under the jurisdiction of the need is complex and huge, the water bandits can be beaten and beaten, and if they can't be defeated, they will run and hide, it is difficult to ban them all, posing a major threat to the bulk trade merchant ships, and is not conducive to the development of water transportation.

In the long run, letting Huang Che and his son go ashore to find a livelihood is the best result. Or simply let him take people and boats and run the business from Xianguo to Sishui River to promote the circulation of local goods.

The entrance of the Biqing River is more than 50 miles away from Jiangquan, it does not take half a day to sail along the river, the fleet arrives at the Yefeng warehouse two days later, the defenders surrender with grain, and the Xian army successfully takes over the granary.

At the same time, the heavy rain that had been falling for a month gradually stopped, and the weather gradually cleared.

It still takes two days from Ye Feng to Xuandiyong, and on the way, he has to wait for the scout to fly, and the former army of the King of Yin Tian rushed to Taiqin on the way to turn north, and the headquarters of the army is going north along the Mutao River.

It took some effort to take over Xuandi, and the guards were killed by the Holy Order, who took over the military power of the granary, and organized the people to go west to Peicheng and Lin Tao in the past ten days to transport 150,000 stones of grain and grass.

Previously, there was no civilian power available in Peicheng and Lintao, and there was no large-scale boat transfer, so Bailiyan was not worried that the two places could transfer grain and grass, and without the order of the Heavenly King, the defenders did not dare to give out food, but they never expected that the Holy Orders of the two places would send the civilian army to kill the guards.

Peicheng, Lin Tao, Xuandi three places are located in the rear, there is no army to defend, only the people's army can be used, the people's army usually grows grain and transports, wartime to defend the city to ensure public security, although the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, but it does not prevent them from transporting grain.

The total number of people's troops in the three places is nearly 10,000 people, and it is more than enough to use a wheelbarrow to transfer Xuandi's grain and grass in more than ten days.

Therefore, when the Xian army landed in Xuandi, it was bumping into the civilian army of Peicheng and Lintao to rush to transport grain and grass, and there was no reason not to do it, but the Shengxun Division has always been famous for its bad and vicious, and when he saw the grain and grass fall into the hands of the Xian army, he recklessly set fire to the grain.

"Master Hou, these bastard turtle grandsons can run fast, and the last general will chase more than ten miles, and they run headlong into the forest, and they can't catch up!" Jiang Jie said quickly.

"It's time to cut them with a thousand cuts!" Bai Liyan cursed, looking at the raging fire, and was furious in his heart: "Order all battalions, first ensure that the food is not on fire, those who can be saved will be saved, and all those who can't be saved will be given up, and human lives are important." In addition, Tian Peng strengthened the perimeter security to prevent them from killing the carbines. ”

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Kong grabbed the grain officer and came to the front. Seeing the visitor, Bai Liyan asked Zhou Kong:

"Who is he?"

"It's Lin Tao Ji Su Lang, after the Holy Orders killed Xuan Di's guard, Lin Tao and Peicheng's Ji Su Lang took over the grain and grass in and out, and they know best how much grain Xuan Di has."

Bailiyan's eyes turned to the person, her fat head and big ears were full of red light, even if she had high blood pressure, most of it was due to the fact that the nutrition was too delicious.

Ji Sulang is the grain officer responsible for the collection and transfer of grain and grass at the county and main city level, and in wartime he is in line with the army's quartermaster and grain officer, and in peacetime he is in charge of the grain production order of the higher level.

Therefore, the position of Ji Su Lang is a position that is very prone to corruption in the process of grain and grass collection, and it is no exaggeration to say that this official is ten officials and nine corrupt.

Under the Black Turban Army system, the Holy Orders Division is in charge of political propaganda and supervises internal affairs, and the collection of grain and grass naturally falls into the pockets of the Holy Orders.

After a moment of silence, reining in his anger, Bai Liyan asked:

"Are you Lin Tao's Ji Su Lang?"

"Yes, yes, yes, in the next place, please spare the villain's life, the villain must know everything."

"Then let me ask you, who paid attention to the guards and came to kill the guards and steal the food?"

"It's the envoy of the Peicheng Holy Order, I heard that Xuan Di Shou is going to rebel, so he came to Lin Tao to borrow someone, and then take the grain."

"Didn't you receive instructions from anyone else?"

"Nope."

"Who is the name of the Holy Order of Napei City, how can he be so bold!"

"The villain only knows that this person's name is Zhao Ning, who is over sixty years old this year, but Zhao Ning speaks quite like you, the general, and it seems that he is also from Xianguo."

"Shhh...... It's also a Xianguo person! ”

"Yes, perhaps."

It is a great crime to attack the granary without an order from above, but in extraordinary times, it is understandable to deal with it with extraordinary force and force.

Peicheng and Lin Tao's civilian power is limited, and sending troops to kill the guards without authorization not only requires decisive decision-making, but also risks losing their heads in violation of the ban.

Bai Liyan previously suspected that there was a master behind this, but now that she got this news, it was really unexpected.
