Since there are few people, you have to recruit troops to strengthen your own power. Zu Ti now only has Xie Fu's dock fort attached, and the combined strength of Zu Ti and Xie Fu is only more than 4,000 people, and it also includes escort baggage, hundreds of craftsmen who build weapons, etc.! There are only more than 3,200 people who can actually fight, and this is still not a battle, if the war starts in the future, the casualty rate will increase, and there will only be fewer people who can go to the battlefield!

As for how to recruit soldiers, ready-made examples are there! Long Kang went north and there were several dock forts at both ends of the first rat looking, now Zhang Ping is dead, Zu Ti is extremely powerful, and it is easy to convince those dock castle owners at this time.

In the tent, Zu Ti just proposed to send someone to persuade the lord of the dock fort who was not yet attached, and everyone looked at Zu Ti eagerly, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service! Having opened the breakthrough of Xie Fu, it will be much easier for the other Dock Fort Masters. After Zu Ti finished speaking, he looked at Yang Jia and said, "I want to bother Mingxin to run again and recover those dock castle masters for me!" Zu Ti's words immediately poured a basin of cold water on everyone's hearts, and the few people who originally wanted to take the initiative to petition were also silent, sitting down lifelessly!

Yang Jia asked Zu Ti what he said, and immediately stepped forward and refused: "Yang Jia also wants to share the worries for Fenwei, but just after the battle with Zhang Ping, Yang Jia is exhausted and afraid that he will not be able to take on this important responsibility, so he can only have his colleagues to share the worries for Fenwei!" After speaking, Yang Jia made a flat bow to everyone.

Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness! Yang Jia really didn't want to monopolize the military and let everyone not even drink the soup! It was only then that he refused. Seeing Yang Jia's refusal, everyone's cold heart became hot again, and they nodded approvingly to Yang Jia, and their previous senses of Yang Jia immediately changed, this Yang Mingxin is still very sensible and knows how to advance and retreat!

Yang Jia rejected the petitions of his colleagues. Zu Ti had no choice but to send someone else to be a lobbyist, and everyone left the military tent satisfied.

Zu Ti appeased Wubao on the one hand, and reached out to Sima Rui to ask for money and food! After instructing Jiao County, Zu Ti immediately wrote to the emperor to explain Jiao County's victory, since it is to ask for money and food, then you have to boast about the great military achievements! In the book, Zu Ti cleverly said that the situation in Jiao County is reverie, originally it was just the beginning of the occupation of Longkang, but Zu Ti Dao has already accounted for more than half of Jiao County, only Fan Ya alone has no need to resist, and Jiao County will be recovered in a few days! But there is no food in the army, and seeing that the recovery of the lost land in Yuzhou will be in vain! Of course, the letter also mentioned Xie Fu's merits, and asked the emperor to summon Xie Fu as the Taishou of Jiao County!

The next day, the colleague who had gone to work as a lobbyist finally returned, and some were happy and some were sad! Some dock fort owners promised to rely on their ancestors to carry out the Northern Expedition, and some dock fort owners still sat on the shore at both ends of the first rat and watched the fire and refused to express their position! Among them, the Dong Department and the Yu Department expressed their refuge, and the two families also sent some food very sincerely, and each sent their own sons over to work under the ancestral account, which has a hostage taste! Since they are so sincere, Zu Ti also praised the two of them in public, and turned the two unmasked young men into their accounts.

In the past few days, Jiao County has been very calm and normal, and it has not caused all kinds of melee because of Zhang Ping's death! Zhang Ping Yu saw that Zu Qi quickly occupied Long Kang and made a posture of defending the city, so it was not suitable to crusade against Zu Qi with the momentum of thunder. can only wait for the opportunity, and as soon as Zhang Ping, the nominal boss of Yuzhou, dies, everyone has to fight for who will take over Zhang Ping's position. Because of the lack of soldiers and food, Zu Ti did not dare to start the war lightly, so he could only look forward to the grain and grass in Jiangdong being transported quickly.

Yang Jia is also helpless against this situation, and now is the best opportunity to take advantage of the other party's chaos to send troops. But there is no food in my hands! The most important thing in ancient China's cold weapons to fight wars is grain and grass, which is one of the important reasons why the Chinese people can't beat the nomadic tribes in the north. If you are thirsty, you will receive some mare's milk to drink, and when you are hungry, you will eat some beef jerky that you bring, plus the food you have grabbed along the way, which is enough to last the whole battle! The Chinese nation is not good, and the three armies go ahead before they move the grain and grass. A war sounds like tens of thousands of people dispatched, but in fact, a small half of them are grain transportation teams, and the grain transportation lines are particularly long and underarmed! If you accidentally encounter the other party robbing the grain, the whole battle will be in jeopardy. The soldiers can't eat enough, even if Yang Jia has all kinds of schemes in his heart, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! Not to mention cheating with his knowledge that is more than a thousand years out of this world.

A few days later, Jiangdong finally came to report that Sima Rui rewarded Zu Ti for his great military exploits, and sent food to supply Zu Ti, and in the edict, he also promised to summon Xie Fu as the Taishou of Jiao County to show his reward!

The ancestors really heard the gospel, and this supply is really a relief in the snow! As long as the grain transport team arrives, it will be as easy as annihilating Zhang Ping's rest of the people as it is to probe for something, and Jiao Jun will have it at his fingertips!

Just when everyone was waiting with anticipation, bad news came from the rear! The grain transport team from Jiankang has returned! The reason was that everyone was annoyed, because Sima Rui didn't give too much food in the first place, and the distance was long and scattered along the way, so the people of the grain transportation team actually ran out of food halfway! After eating the grain and grass, the task of the grain transport team was over, so I turned around and returned to Jiankang! It's so funny, Zu Ti heard that he felt powerless, this is God can't help me, I have been borrowing food from various dock forts since a few days ago, until today the team only has one day's rations left, the three dock forts will definitely not borrow food from themselves anymore, and they don't have much storage in their own homes! Since receiving the emperor's edict, Zu Ti told the soldiers about the supply in order to encourage everyone, but he didn't expect this to be the result today, if there is no food, everyone will not be able to eat enough. The high morale that I have worked hard to build in the past few days has suddenly collapsed! Without Zhang Ping and the rest of the people coming to attack, he had to take people back in disgrace. Zu Ti immediately summoned all the subordinate officials to discuss the matter under his own account.

Zu Ti looked tired and told everyone the news that the grain transport team had returned, but he did not tell the news that there was only one day's ration left, after all, there were many people, and if it was accidentally spread, it would really be regretted.

After hearing this, everyone secretly complained, saying that the road is far away, the road is scattered, and it is all bullshit! It's just that some people in Beijing don't pay attention to this Northern Expedition, and they send too little grain and grass! The distance between Jiankang and Jiaojun can be so exaggerated, His Majesty the Emperor is not restrained by the ministers of the central government, and he can't transport more grain to Jiaojun, otherwise with the national strength of the Great Jin, this little thing can't be done!?

Zu Ti also understood the problem, and said tiredly: "Since the wood is already in the boat, then don't complain more, I'll find a way to get through the current difficulties!" ”

In long-term warfare, the most taboo is the lack of food, and tuntian is the most suitable way to solve the shortage of food! Tuntian is divided into two kinds: 'Juntun' and 'Mintun', the Juntun is mainly based on soldiers, while Mintun is mainly based on Tianke and Tunhu. Moreover, Tuntian also saves the hard work of transporting grain. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was able to fight with the northern heroes, relying on the plan of Zao Yuan and Ren Jun to Tuntian! During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei thought that the method of Tuntian was invincible to attack the other two countries, and he followed the large-scale Tuntian. Shu and Wu are also following the example of Wei and preparing for war! Therefore, Tuntian is the best way to solve this situation. But Yang Jia can't come up with this method, time waits for no one, seeing that the food is about to run out, how can there be time for everyone to go to Tuntian! Tuntian's income will wait for a year at the latest, and now it's a race against time!

Everyone thought about it for a long time, and the lord of Zu Ti's account said cautiously: "The only way to save the emergency at the moment is to increase taxes to the Jiaojun Shishu!" Only in this way can the urgent need be solved! ”

Yang Jia shook his head slightly when he heard this, this method is not passable! When Zu Ti heard this, he also retorted loudly: "Kill chickens and take eggs!" This method is categorically impossible. When we first occupied Jiao County, we have not yet shown favors to the people of Jiao County, so why did we levy and extort violently! If this method is carried out and the people are angry, we will not only face Zhang Ping's desire to be evil, but also Jiaojun Shishu! If you want to gain a foothold in Jiaojun in the future, you have to rely on the help of Jiaojun Shishu! We should cultivate the armor of Jinyang, and we should not let the people of Jiao County make the song of cutting sandal! ”

Yang Jia nodded when he heard this, in fact, the most important reason for Zu Ti was not said, it is now the end of June, and it has not yet reached the autumn harvest season, how can there be any surplus grain in every household in Jiao County for Zu Ti to collect!

The armor of Jinyang that Zu Ti just said is an allusion, it happened before the three families were divided into Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period! At that time, the four powerful clans of the Jin State divided the Jin State, and the most powerful of them was the Zhi Clan, which united with the other two Han clans and the Wei clan. Attacking the Zhao family, the Zhao family was outnumbered and had no choice but to flee. At that time, the Zhao family had three cities to go to, among which the two cities represented by Handan were strong and full of food, and there were sharp weapons in the city! And the equipment in the last city of Jinyang is average! The Zhao family fled to Jinyang City unusually, for no other reason, Handan City's strong grain was piled up with the flesh and blood of the people of Handan, and the people of Handan were eager to eat the Zhao family raw! Although Jinyang City is generally equipped, the Zhao family has always been light on the people of Jinyang, and the people of Jinyang are very grateful to the Zhao family, and the hearts of the people are to Zhao! Subsequently, the Zhi clan led the remaining two families to besiege the Zhao clan and Jinyang City for three months, and the coalition forces were never able to break through the city! The Zhi clan had nothing to do, so they used the technique of water attack to dig up the Fenshui flooded city, and only six feet remained in the city when the flood flooded, and the time was as long as three years! The people in the city are living in a particularly difficult situation and are about to run out of food! But the people in the city still did not rebel and opened the city gates! In the end, under the insistence of the Zhao clan, he successfully defended Jinyang City, and rebelled against the other two Han clans and the Wei clan who followed the Zhi clan! The Zhao, Han, and Wei clans instead joined forces to eliminate the most powerful Zhi clan, and finally succeeded in carving up the Jin Kingdom.
