Yang Qing served as a squire in the military department, in the military and politics, mainly responsible for the overall planning and allocation of grain and grass materials, as well as the manufacture and storage of ordnance, he was good at calculation, and when he was Guo Mo's deputy in Chang'an, he had already shown a good talent - at least stronger than his ability to fight.

Guo Sidao theoretically only needs to listen to Yang Qing's report, and check and calculate it from time to time - he is completely responsible for himself, so he will be so tired, and even once thought of resigning and asking for release.

But Yang Qing was by no means uncomfortable, because in the battle of Xingyang last year, countless grains had already been consumed, and then Zu Ti ordered Wang Yue to collect half of the autumn grain that was collected by Wang Yue to be dumped in Xingyang, and the court might still take it out, which is really not much. Although theoretically speaking, the daily offerings of the ancestral soldiers are far worse than those of the old Guanzhong army, and since you have taken so much grain and grass, you can completely solve the problem by yourself. However, Pegai said:

"Marshal Zu led his troops to fight on the front line, and the only one he could rely on was the imperial court, so how could he not often supply and lose?"

The implication is that if Zu Ti feels that the court is not enough to rely on, is it all the same, then is he still willing to obey orders? Even if the ancestor can't disagree, what about the generals under his command?

And——"The people of Hebei, who have suffered from thieves for a long time, how can they take the food from their mouths again?" I have strictly warned all the generals not to plunder unless they have to, so as to calm the hearts of the people and boost the prestige of the king! ”

So over there, more or less, you have to supply grain and grass all the time. And since Zu Ti and Wei Hai have repeatedly played and asked for more food, it must be insufficient, and the soldiers can't be allowed to fight hungry, right?

Yang Qing also wanted to ensure that the warehousing was complete, and it could be used in response to special circumstances—for example, this Tuoba invasion of the south, wasn't it a special circumstance that was not expected in advance—and he had to supply the needs of the ancestral army for at least three months, and he was forced to move around, and he was really busy. That's why he said to Pei Cai, I calculated carefully, and I think that the food on the front line should be enough, even according to the quota of the old Guanzhong Army, I should not be so eager to ask the imperial court to lose again......

What did Marshal Zu think?

Pei Gai immediately scolded: "Qing has no suspicion of the ancestor marshal, or does he want to slander and blame him?" ”

Yang Qing hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and then argued that the minister didn't mean this, but he was worried that Marshal Zu would use someone other than him, and he was not as strict as us in the management of grain and grass, and there may be a lot of loopholes in the process. If we can plug those loopholes and re-plan, maybe the logistical pressure will not be so great.

Pei Cai ordered Yang Qing, you might as well go to Fangtou to verify it well, and then assist Wei Hai in managing the grain transportation. The main Wei Hai played the day before yesterday and asked to avoid changing his name, and it can be seen that this person, like Li Ju, is likely to break away from the ancestral camp and fall to the imperial court - at least some generals in the ancestral army may change, and these two are not among them - so that Yang Qing was sent there, which was neither dangerous nor suspicious to arouse Wei Hai's suspicions.

Yang Qing said goodbye to his wife, the pregnant cat, left Luoyang, and ran to Fangtou to sit down. He assisted Wei Hai in reorganizing the storage and transportation of grain, and as he said, the entire logistics system was greatly improved, and as much as two-tenths or three-tenths of the grain saved during this period was saved.

In essence, first, the control methods of materials in these years were relatively sparse; The second is that since the Jin Dynasty, the ancestral army has generally regarded the self-army and the national court as two less related entities - in fact, the tendency of the old Guanzhong army is even more serious - since the imperial court promised to supply military food, is it necessary to be so frugal to eat other people's food? Besides, the thieves were defeated in Xingyang, Hanoi, and Puyang the day before yesterday, and countless materials were discarded, and the food stored in Fangtou was also forced to be almost burned out.

It is said that the daily worship of the old Guanzhong army is richer than our army, although Marshal Zu did not explicitly change the system, but let's eat a few more bites in private, it shouldn't be taboo, right?

But after Yang Qing arrived at Fangtou, he set up the carriage and horses to inform Wei Hai, saying that the imperial court does not have much grain in stock now, and in order to ensure the sustainability of the battle, the province still has to be saved, if you can't save it, I can find a way to help you save - of course, those that were wasted in the past will definitely not be able to be recovered, and even if the imperial court is by land, even if the number is slightly reduced, it will still have to continue to transport grain to Fangtou.

——————————

Compared with the two, the defenders actually took a lot of advantage, plus Wang Yang's strict defense, Xuan An can win the hearts of the people, and Zhang Bin is resourceful, so it leads to more than a month, and the Chinese army can not take a step forward.

However, on the Zhao army's side, the transportation of grain and straw is also very stretched. In the battle of Xingyang last year, the defeated army, where can we take care of grain and grass materials? Naturally abandoned on the road, most of them were captured by the ancestral army. Therefore, Shi Le not only sent out all the grain stocks in the treasury of Xiangguo and the surrounding prefectures to supply the front-line generals, but even sent rangers to rob the people's food in Kong Chang's words—if it weren't for this, I am afraid that Wang Yang and Jiao'an would have been cut off long ago.

In order to show frugality, Shile only used two meals a day, only rough grain and clear water, not only forbidding alcohol, but also less vegetables and no meat, in order to show the ministers. However, some things may not be effective if they go up, Xu Guang and Pei Xian are also leading by example in the public office, and they also eat vegetarian food, but after returning to their own house, they still eat and drink behind closed doors - anyway, it is impossible for the army to grab food from us, right? As long as you don't show your wealth, how can the king of heaven blame him?

As a result, Guangping County and the entire Jizhou, and even Youzhou, heard the police everywhere, and thieves were everywhere - most of them were ordinary people who were forced to go to Liangshan, and some landlords were involved in it - Cheng Yao was ordered to arrest the thieves, but the thieves not only caught them inexhaustibly, but caught more and more......

Xu Guang reminded Shi Le about this matter, saying that if it goes on like this, there is no need for the Chinese to call, and the country will collapse. Zhang Jing said: "Although I drink to quench my thirst, I am helpless. Besides, before the king of heaven entered Xiangguo, Youzhou was still there, how is the situation in Jizhou different from today? But by expelling the Chinese Kou, you can re-seek to restore ......"

He is now a man with his tail between his legs, and he no longer dares to make random ideas, but he also refuses to stand by and keep his mouth shut—then he is afraid that he will never turn over—so he must take the initiative to stand up and help Shi Le when he has already made up his mind, so as to show that I will always be loyal to the Heavenly King, and I will never have the slightest doubt or dissatisfaction with the Heavenly King's decision-making.

Naturally, these news also spread to the front line, Wang Yang and the others were originally vulgar martial artists, just fighting with their heads bored, as for the people's livelihood, they never considered it at all - I think we killed all the way and robbed all the way back then, didn't we also fight a huge territory? The people are like leeks, cut and reborn, in order to resist the enemy, what happened to cut a few more ballasts? This kind of thing can't be killed or killed, as long as you repel Hua Kou, you can go south and grab people back to farm; And if the land is all obtained by the Chinese Kou, what use does it have to the common people? Do you eat meat when you slaughter it?

Only Zhang Bin, the town is sad; Xuan An had served as the central government and was in charge of political affairs, so he was also a little worried, but he tried his best not to show himself, so as not to add to Taifu's worries. Of course, this kind of thing can be understood by senior generals, and it must not be mentioned by ordinary soldiers - many of them are Jizhou soldiers, if they know that their hometown has been ravaged and the food in their mouths has been taken away, can they still have the heart to fight?

He had to encourage his soldiers every day, and promised to give heavy rewards after defeating the enemy, and from then on all those who conscripted, whether they were soldiers or servants, could be rich - anyway, it didn't cost food to paint a big pie.

However, this is not a long-term strategy, no matter how Xu Guang and others plan in every way, it is impossible to conjure up food out of thin air after all, and the three Zhao troops are hungry and full, and I am afraid that one day, there will be no more food and grass for Xiangguo. Zhang Bin racked his brains for this, and planned to send rangers to sneak south to intercept the grain of the Chinese army, the so-called "eat the enemy for one minute, and be me for twenty minutes", which is the essence of the art of war - but unfortunately Zu Ti, Wei Hai and other food guards are very cautious, so that the Zhao army repeatedly misses.

At the end of March, under Zhang Bin's planning, Zhao's army finally won a great victory - Xuan An led his troops to attack the Chinese camp, breaking and killing his general Zhang Ping. For this reason, Zu Ti reorganized his troops and rebuilt the camp, and it took six or seven days before he had the strength to launch another onslaught on Santai.

Zu Shizhi did not dare to conceal his defeat, played Luoyang, and asked Zhang Ping to be compensated. Pei Gai couldn't help sighing, and said that in the original history, Zhang Ping refused to accept the leadership of Zu Ti, which led to a conflict between the two armies, and was finally killed (it was Xie Fu who killed Zhang Ping, but this name is not seen in today's ancestral army, and Pei Gai can't recall it at all); However, Fan Ya was defeated and then fell, although there is no record in history, it is estimated that the ending will be better.

But on this timeline, due to various reasons, Zhang Ping and Fan Ya took refuge in Zu Ti without saying a word, and they actually accumulated merit and became generals. Moreover, Zhang Ping also died heroically in the war against China, not only a few more years of life, but also has the hope of being remembered in history. It can be seen that the life experience is really influenced by the trend of the times.

That is, Jin Zhangping was promoted to be a general, and the system was set, and those who were martyred for state affairs were all added to the two-level table. In addition, Zhang Ping was posthumously named the Marquis of Lingshou County, and his son was allowed to become a knight.

As for the position of brigade commander, he allowed Zu Ti to ask for it, and replaced him with Fan Ya.

Zu Ti was defeated for a while, losing a general, and was somewhat sullen, but on the contrary, there was a lot of noise in the Zhao army. Zhang Bin made Xuan An, Wang Yang and others announce the soldiers, saying that Zhang Ping is the first general in the ancestral army, and is the right-hand man of Zu Ti. When the news reached Xiangguo, Shi Le was overjoyed, and for the first time ever, he would bring out a jar of fine wine to drink with the courtiers.

Moreover, after the war, Zhang Bin also interrogated the exact news from the captured Chinese soldiers, knowing that Tuoba Xianbei disturbed Taiyuan in the south, the Chinese were forced to fight the enemy on two fronts, and the Yellow River waterway was cut off for more than a month, resulting in poor grain transportation. He couldn't help but look at the heavens and prayed: "The Heavenly King really has the providence of heaven, so there is hope for retreating from the enemy!" ”

But then Zu Ti strengthened the siege of Santai, and after several days of fierce fighting, although the losses were quite heavy, he finally broke through the outer fortifications of Jinfengtai. Wang Yang was quite frustrated, but Zhang Bin comforted him and said: "This will be the grain transportation of Huakou will not continue, so the ancestor is impatient, the general must not be discouraged, at most one month, the turnaround may appear." ”

The turnaround occurred a few days later, according to the report of the sentinels, another batch of grain trucks arrived in Linzhang from Anyang. Xuan An Nai personally led the elite five hundred horsemen to detour around the road, the Chinese army heard the police galloping, but only two car hubs could not work, its servants saw that the cavalry was approaching, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and Xuan An Nai took the car on the more than ten Hu Gu and returned.

After being classified into the three stations, I opened the grain bag and saw that it was all yellow and clear new grain, full of grains and fragrant. Seeing this, Wang Yang, Yu An, Guo Ao and others couldn't help but feel stunned, and looked at each other and said: "When counting the sky, the grain transportation on the river has been opened, and the Chinese have recovered the grain like this, how can they resist it?" "They're well fed, we're about to end here, how can we continue to fight this battle?

Zhang Bin pondered for a long time, and then said with a smile: "This is Zu's plan, I expect that his food will be exhausted!" ”

He immediately explained that the information we had obtained before would not be false, and the Chinese were fighting on two fronts, and they would inevitably be stretched thin in terms of food and materials. He wanted to rob his grain many times before but couldn't get it, how could he successfully snatch back two truckloads of grain this time? It's too good for the axle to break.

Besides, both cars are full of new grains, how can there be such a coincidence? Logically speaking, when the new grain is put into the warehouse, it must be covered on the old valley, and most of the ones that are transported to the front line are the new grain first and then the old valley. If we don't see each other for the first time, and we encounter a batch of all new valleys, which have been fighting for so many days, and the enemy's inventory is about to be exhausted, then it is more reasonable to turn out Chen Gu to supply the front line-

"This must be the ancestor of a certain grain and grass is about to run out, but he specially showed me a new valley, and he wants me to retreat without support!"

Zhang Bin's analysis is very reasonable, but it is not without coincidences in this world, in fact, he is still hesitant about this matter in his heart, but he must tell the generals like this, so as to stick to the heart. If you don't explain it like this, seeing that Wang Yang, Yu An, Guo Ao and others are all afraid, and the generals are cowardly, can they still expect the soldiers to fight? Santai is not only the second line of defense planned by himself, but also the most important line of defense, at this critical juncture, it is really impossible to retreat.

Zhang Bin's so-called "three lines of defense", the first line of which has been lost, and the third line is now useless - because there is not much food, how can we consolidate the defense? If you withdraw from Santai and have nothing to rely on, it is estimated that you can only flee all the way back to Xiangguo. So I don't care if this is a coincidence or a plan of the ancestors, I must be so inspiring to the soldiers, and there is no way back.

When the generals heard this, they smiled happily, and strictly warned the soldiers to be cautious, and promised that in half a month at most, we would have the opportunity to turn defense into attack. In order to survive the half of this estimate, he was forced to reduce the rations of the soldiers again, and Xuan An was temporarily unable to go forward to attack Hualai.

A few days later, Zu Ti launched a new round of onslaught, Guo Ao led his army to resist, and was hit by a stray arrow on the battlefield, almost dying. Because of this, the Chinese army once broke into Jinfengtai, and Xuan An launched two charges in a row, and finally blocked the enemy army. Based on his experience in fighting for many years, he said to Zhang Bin after he returned: "The enemy is tired, and this is a battle for trapped beasts." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "I expect that Zu Shizhi will retire within three or five days." However, his people are good at using troops, and they will inevitably ambush the army after it is broken, and the generals should be careful not to chase after it, but they will slowly follow behind, in order to recover Anyang, Dangyin and other cities. ”
