"The younger brother may be a little cheeky when he says this. However, if you want to capture Qiuchi Mountain, you really have to take a very big risk. Because the terrain is too dangerous, the current location, the younger brother only heard some hearsay information about it. The specific situation is not known to outsiders at all. In short, there are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, spring water, and salt pans on Qiuchi Mountain. Even if you keep your door closed and cut off from the outside world, there is absolutely no problem.

Big brother, your ambition, in fact, the younger brother has always been very clear. If you take here, eldest brother, you can take your family at any time, as well as the people of Sanfu who are willing to live in seclusion with you, into the mountains and live in seclusion. After saying this, Jin Jue stopped persuading.

"Do you really think so?" After listening to this, Bao Chu looked at Jin Jue for a long time and asked.

Jin Jue nodded and replied, "Naturally." If the eldest brother can't trust the younger brother, he doesn't have to participate in this surprise attack. ”

"So, if I don't participate, you have to lead the troops to capture Qiuchi Mountain!" Bao asked again.

"This is nature, since Qiuchi Mountain claims to have a hundred hectares, then there must be a lot of grain in the mountain. And now the situation in Luoyang County, you have also seen it, the eldest brother, there are more and more Yellow Turban soldiers who defect to the younger brother. And Ma Teng and Lu Bu deliberately ignored the passage between Wuguan and the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, so that these people could reach here smoothly.

Even if the number of people has become smaller and smaller since then, the current grain stocks in Luoyang County alone are no longer enough for so many people to survive until next summer's harvest. For now, there are only two ways for the younger brother to solve this problem.

First, find food sources.

Hanyang County, Longxi County and Sanfu can't be counted on at all, Hanzhong County has food, but since the last defeat, Zhang Lu actually took the initiative to give up the counties under the jurisdiction of Wudu County, which is close to Hanzhong County, and his intention is nothing more than to shrink his troops and guard the city. The terrain of Hanzhong is dangerous, especially better than Luoyang. The younger brother is not capable of capturing Hanzhong County in the short term.

Looking around, the rest are the four Di forces in Wudu County. However, according to the younger brother's estimate, among them, the only one with a large number of grain reserves is the Seven Tribes of Leiding, and then there is Yang Wan of Qiu Chi Mountain.

Second, throttling.

borrowed this battle against Wudu County and consumed a certain number of soldiers. Jin Jue described in detail the biggest difficulties in Luoyang County at present, as well as the solutions he thought of.

Hearing the end, Bao Chu and Cai Wenji on the side couldn't help but change their faces. This is indeed a good way to reduce food consumption by defeating the human lives of both sides.

It is said that the war should consume more food, but there is actually another account in this.

After this battle, Jin Jue's plan was not successful. The people in Luoyang County will inevitably be detached, and some people will definitely go to Hanyang County to join Ma Teng when there is no hope.

In addition, Jin Jue can take this opportunity to implement strict official food control in the county, reducing the daily food consumption of everyone in the county. In this way, the soldiers and people of a county will be enough to survive until next summer's harvest. At that time, if there is no disaster, the land in the prefecture will be enough to support all the remaining people.

The amount of cultivated land in Luoyang County is extremely limited, and Jin Jue is not there during spring ploughing, even if remedial measures such as fertilization and weeding are carried out later, the total output of cultivated land in the county can be increased by two to three percent at most. It's simply not enough to feed all the people in the county right now.

At the same time, after the next battle. Although the Jin Jue army suffered heavy casualties, in addition to the seven divisions of Lei Ding in Wudu County, the other three divisions were bound to lose a large number of elites. After the summer harvest next year, if Jin Jue concentrates his troops, he personally leads the troops, and if he breaks them one by one, he may not be able to control the entire Wudu County in his own hands.

The reason why he dispersed the troops in the county this time was that first, he inspected and tempered the ability of the four generals, and second, he wanted to consume a part of the county's population.

If this time he led the army to concentrate on attacking the seven Di tribes of Lei Ding, he might not be able to take down the lower way. It's just that at that time, Jin Jue had to worry about other Di forces in Wudu County and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. It's the new Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng.

Before, Jin Jue and Ma Dai almost broke through the strong Caohan City with a thousand cavalry, although it was very amazing, but it was only a very small war, and Ma Teng might not take it to heart even if he was amazed at Jin Jue's ability.

But if he really dared to lead the soldiers and horses of Qiluoyang County to break through the Lei Ding Seven Divisions in one fell swoop this time, Ma Teng would regard Jin Jue as a big enemy, and the small-scale combat capability and the combat ability of the large corps were completely different concepts. If this battle really happens, isn't Ma Teng afraid that Jin Jue will suddenly point the finger at him? It's not that Jin Jue thinks too much, but the personal personalities of Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son are like this.

"Well, I'll take over this raid for my brother. But who are you going to send to this operation? Bao Chu gritted his teeth and thought carefully for a long time before finally making a decision and asked.

"It's the group of mercenaries who went around Zhang Lujun with Li Feng last time. You can choose from any of them. Liu Xiongming is already waiting for you outside. Actually, Jin Jue had long expected that Bao Chu would agree, and he had also prepared a helper for Bao Chu in advance.

The mercenaries he was talking about were the mountain people in Luoyang County and the surrounding areas, as well as the barbarian men who lived in the mountains. In the last battle, it was because Liu Xiongming and these people found a lot of paths that could detour behind Zhang Lujun, which finally caused the remnants of Zhang Lujun to collapse collectively and was easily taken by Cheng Lian.

It can be said that in the last war, in addition to the blacksmiths and miners in Luoyang County, these people also made great contributions.

Hearing this, Bao Chu glanced at Jin Jue again, arched his hand at him, and left the back office.

At this time, Bao Chu knew very well in his heart that Jin Jue was actually using his martial arts, but he still had to drill this set.

In troubled times, especially after the battle of Lu Shan to recover the old lady, Bao Chu understands very well how difficult it is to live in a place where he can live in peace.

Sanfu is known as the 800-mile Qinchuan, the land of ointment, and the land of Sisai, but it is still made difficult by those warlords, and the people can only flee the countryside and take refuge in the south.

The Qiu Chi Mountain that Jin Jue said was too great for Bao Zhu. Once he is taken down, even if he dies in the future, his wife and several brothers can live in peace in the mountains.

After Bao left, Cai Wenji asked in a low voice: "Lang Jun, are you really willing to let your eldest brother leave?" ”

Jin Jue nodded and replied, "Yes, this time is different from the past, I am in the army, and my personal safety can basically be guaranteed." The eldest brother's personal strength is very high, but he is only suitable for being a guard or an assassin, and he cannot be a general who leads troops to fight. What's more, the eldest brother has a calm temperament and doesn't like to join the army or be an official, so why should I be strong?

Whoever I want to kill, I will personally lead the army to defeat him. I don't know how to learn from Wu Wangfucha and Yan Prince Dan, I need the righteous people in the world to learn from Nazhuanzhu, Qingji and Jing Ke, and shed blood for me, just to assassinate a few people. ”

"That's how it should be!" Cai Wenji replied with relief, and then, she said another thing, "Lang Jun, since Sima Yi has already informed you of the exact news of Du's husband, you should also go and meet Sister Du." ”

Sister Du naturally said that she was Qin Yilu's wife, and when Cheng Lian and Li Feng left Lu Bujun, they kept Cai Wenji and Mrs. Du by their side. They all thought that Jin Jue was young, but he was a lustful boy, and these two women were naturally stunning, but unfortunately one was pregnant, the other was already a human wife, and she gave birth to a son to that Qin Yilu. That is, Qin Lang in history.

Last time, when Sima Yi came, he also privately told Jin Jue a 'good' news, that is, it was the same as he expected, Lu Bu suddenly helped Liu Bei defeat Yuan Shu, and after Yuan Shu got the news, he immediately killed Qin Yilu, the envoy sent by Lu Bu to the peace talks.
