Chapter 259: Reorganization and Expansion of the Army

Zu Ti's face was a little pale, after all, there were more than 20,000 mouths at once, which was a big burden wherever he went, especially his own team of men and horses was still put together temporarily, and he hadn't seen a battle yet, once there was a problem with the food, no one could say what would happen, especially since he had just used such a cruel criminal law on that batch of He Lun's troops not long ago, once there was a shortage of food in his army, the consequences were really unimaginable......

Zu Na frowned and didn't say a word when he saw Zu Ti, he already knew in his heart that Zu Ti also knew the seriousness of the matter, but it was not okay not to explain some problems clearly, so Zu Na continued: "Third brother, in recent times, we have added a lot of new manpower from various ethnic groups to various departments in the army, now, I will give you the figures that have just been roughly counted, you listen to it!" ”

"Okay, second brother, you say!"

"Xu Liu and Zu Lian, that is, your personal guard has 3,000 people, and Han Qian, Dong Zhao, Yin Yi, Zu Yue, and Zu Ji each have 2,000 people. That is, the main army of 13,000 people! ”

"Well, that's right!"

"Then there is the new Hu Ying 2,000 people this time, jointly led by Wang An and Bald Tui Jin, this team, I suggest that we add another 1000~2000 of our people to join!"

"Add more people in? Well, the second brother is very worried, but this soldier and money and food are really stretched! ”

"Humph! You know now that money and food are insufficient, third brother, since you have decided, if Wang An does not have enough people around him, he will not be able to control these people in the baldness department! ”

"I understand what the second brother means, but do you want to be transferred from other ministries? Yin Yi and they won't divide their own people! ”

When Zu Na heard Zu Li's words, he was secretly a little funny in his heart, these generals around Zu Li, each of them were goods with arms to his side, and he had fought for a few people before, and now if he wants to redeploy the people and horses assigned to them, he will definitely make a stumbling block for himself, and he doesn't want to touch this mold!

Thinking of this, Zuna chuckled lightly and said, "Second brother, I don't dare to provoke your generals, I have also thought about it, I plan to select another batch of strong men from the homeless people!" ”

"Pick from the homeless?"

"Yes, in troubled times, if you want to survive, joining the army is the best way, it is a good thing for them to let these people join, and I believe that Wang An will not like to compete with Yin Yi and Han Qian!"

When Zu Ti heard this, he glanced at Zu Na strangely, he didn't expect that his second brother, who seemed to be isolated and difficult to contact, would have such a unique insight into the character of these generals under his account, and he was a little surprised in his heart!

When Zu Na saw Zu Ti's surprised look, he said a little angrily in his heart: "Why, your second brother and I are so annoying?" Annoying? That's why you're so strange that I know the temper of these living treasures under your account?! ”

When Zu Ti saw that Zu Na was angry, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand, and resolutely denied it: "Second brother, you think too much, there is nothing to do, hehe, but I am really surprised that you know so accurately, second brother!" ”

"Hmph, how old am I? Do you still want to be called brothers and sisters with you little hairy boys?! ”

When Zu Ti heard this, he was obviously stunned, he was forty-six years old, and this second brother even called himself a little hairy boy, and he himself was only a few years older than himself!

However, I don't know why, after Zu Ti heard Zu Na's words, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion and closeness in his heart, it seems that his second brother has indeed been paying attention to himself, and there is a strong family affection in and out of Zu Na's words!

Zu Na looked at Zu Ti with some emotion, and his heart was also warm, he was indeed rare to show some true feelings, and his third brother, to be honest, he liked it a little.

Zu Na stretched out his hand, patted Zu Ti lightly on the shoulder, nodded at Zu Ti, and continued: "Third brother, what do you think of the second brother's suggestion?!" ”

This is the first time Zu Ti has seen Zu Na show his true feelings so much, especially when Zu Na patted himself, the blood relationship between the brothers instantly made Zu Ti feel that the relationship between himself and Zu Na was much closer all of a sudden, and when Zu Ti heard Zu Na's inquiry, he thought for a while, and then asked: "The second brother's suggestion is very good, but I want to know first, how many people are there in our army now?" ”

"If you add the population of the bald department, it's about 27,000 people!"

Hearing this, Zu Ti fell into contemplation again, and Zu Na on the side did not disturb Zu Ti's thinking, just waited quietly on the side.

After a long time, Zu Ti asked again, "How many of them can use it?" ”

Of course, Zuna knew that the available people Zu Ti was referring to were strong men who could join the army, so Zuna thought about it for a moment and immediately said, "There are about seven thousand!" ”

"Then let's do it, Han Qian and the five of them will each increase the number of 1,000 people, and make up a number of 3,000! Then all the rest of the people will go to Wang An, so that there will be 4,000 people! ”

"Well, and your junior camp!"

"Well, what the second brother said is that the juvenile camp will also be expanded, I think the number of boys is 3,000 and 1,000 girls!"

"This girl should not be counted in the combat army, my suggestion is to find a name to protect them, let them help me do some logistics things, such as sewing and mending things, and then teach a little self-defense skills, this winter is not good, I don't want to really eat people......"

"Yes, second brother, I also think of this consideration, we can think of a piece, so let's decide!"

"Well, then our main army will have twenty-two thousand men! There are about 20,000 people! ”

"Hey, second brother, there are so many people, how can we provide for them?"

"Don't you have an idea in your mind?"

"I want to take the initiative to attack Tongguan! Tongguan should have the food we need! ”

"What if the defenders of Tongguan are their own people?"

"I've been sure that it's the Huns, because when Yin Yi was exploring, he found that there had been a large-scale battle in Daiziying Township, and judging from what Yin Yi brought back, it was the people and horses from Liangzhou who came to the rescue and were fighting with the Huns!"

"The people of Liangzhou?"

Zu Ti stood up as he spoke, walked to a box, took out the items that Yin Yi had brought back, and handed them to Zuna.

Zuna looked at the already tattered Zhangzi banner and the clothes of the Liangzhou army, especially the military uniforms of many Pusaka (ancient name Pusaka in Yongji City, Shanxi), and there was also a Zhaozi flag!

Seeing this, Zuna couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and he blurted out: "Could it be this Aurasaka's guard Zhao Ran!?" It turned out that he won Tongguan?! ”
