Indeed, this issue has been overlooked.

In this era, there was no bridge over the Yellow River, and a ferry was necessary to cross the river. Obviously, no matter how many ferries there are in the area, it is impossible to allow more than 60,000 people to cross the river in one sitting. This is still part of the regular army, and there are about 40,000 family camps.

Yes, Fang Yun's command at the moment was more than 100,000 people, and among the 60,000 soldiers, there was not a single existence older than thirty years old. Even if there is, it is a mid-to-senior military officer.

There are so many people, and it is not a small number of people to eat horses, which is also the main reason why Xi Zhicai was not allowed to help Chen Liuxian before, that is, he came over and seized a lot of materials along the way, and he was finally able to barely support another ten days, but this also indicated that Fang Yun had to calculate the future march route and the consumption of replenishing military food in the flow.

Crossing the river is now a major problem, and it takes at least three or four days to collect boats, right? Then it took more than two days to cross the river, and in the end seven or eight days were wasted here, even if they came to Jizhou safely, the time left for them was urgent. The most fatal thing is that Jizhou was originally the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Army, so the grain stocks in various places are in an emergency, so it is not an ordinary difficulty to get grain and grass.

"Strategist, what do you think we should do now?" Fang Yun could only ask for advice on drama Zhicai.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice...... Xi Zhicai shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a wry smile. He's not an immortal, how can he conjure up so many ships?

"Report, there is an army approaching in the rear, and our troops are finding out what the way is coming!" This time. Scouts from the rear came to report. But it made the atmosphere immediately become serious.

"How many people are there?" Fang Yun immediately asked.

"It's not clear yet. But no less than a thousand! The scout replied immediately.

Hearing that there were only about a thousand people, Fang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this was not the main force of the imperial court, but he was afraid that it was the local townspeople, or some sons and brothers with brain problems who gathered a group of family soldiers to send them to death.

Also, now that the situation of the Han army is getting better and better, the Yellow Turban Army is retreating one after another, and it seems that there is a trend that the Yellow Turban in the world is about to be pacified. I'm afraid that in the eyes of those sons, the remaining Yellow Turban Army is no longer worried, so they come out to brush up on their exploits?

"Let's see who is so stupid!" Fang Yun smiled at the drama around him.

Xi Zhicai also smiled, and although he did not despise the troops that were rushing here, he did not pay attention to them.

"Report! It has been found out that there is actually the captain brother Dian Jie, this time they are rushing towards us with the soldiers of the Dian clan and three hundred carts of supplies! The scout came back again, but with a big smile.

"Oh. Come and greet me at once! Fang Yun was overjoyed when he heard this. Give the order immediately.

Dian Wei was also overjoyed to learn that his brother had finally arrived as promised, and quickly mobilized people to follow Shangyun.

Not long after, Dian Jie and the others had already appeared on the horizon, and when they saw Fang Yun and the others coming to greet them in person, their hearts were suddenly a little warm, but they were also taken seriously, right? This time, almost the entire Dian clan came to vote, if Fang Yun behaved coldly, it would simply break their hearts.

"Captain, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same!" Fang Yun personally stepped forward and saluted Dian Jie.

"The lord is up again, and his subordinate Dian Jie leads the whole clan of the Dian clan to vote, and I hope to take it in!" Dian Jie also immediately dismounted and came to Fang Yun and knelt down on one knee.

"In the future, everyone will be their own family, with my cloud for a day, everyone will share weal and woe, and you will never be allowed to drink thin!" Fang Yun immediately helped him up, patted the back of his hand lightly, and solemnly promised.

"This time, I came here, but I brought some armor and weapons from the iron mill at home, if the lord doesn't dislike it, you can accept it." With a somewhat grateful tone, Dian Jie pointed to the more than three hundred carts behind him.

The Dian clan is also a cast iron clan in Jiwu, and their ancestors are big iron, but later Dian Wei's grandfather joined the army. But he didn't want to break into the huge family business, and the small ironshop at home also expanded a lot, and even finally became the largest ironshop in Jiwu, with thousands of soldiers under his command, and more than 300 qualified blacksmiths in the ironshop.

Now, after deducting a few dozen blacksmiths, there are also the children of the family who remain in Jiwu, and the others have been brought over. Of course, there are also armors that the Dian clan privately forged for the soldiers of other families, and now they have also brought them over.

"It just so happens that the quality of our sergeants' armor and weapons is uneven, and I am having a headache about this. However, these armors can't be taken for nothing, and the market price of these armors and weapons is what the coder creates, and the payment will be settled according to the amount! Fang Yun waved his hand and said solemnly.

"The lord can't do this, this is a heart of the pawn, and it is a gift from his subordinates and younger brother. If you don't accept it, then you will look down on the craftsmanship of the Dian clan. Dian Jie also replied immediately.

In fact, he is not stupid, although the money is good, but the price of favor is higher. If Fang Yun accepted these armors and weapons, then it would be equivalent to owing the Dian family a favor, and with this, the Dian clan would rise again, but it was only a matter of time. Besides, since you want to join the Yellow Turban Army, then this money doesn't seem to be of much use, does it?

"Okay, I'll make a note of this gift!" Fang Yun was even more stupid, but he did need this batch of armor and weapons.

It's not just because the equipment is uneven, but more importantly, 'changing clothes' was originally a need for the main quest, and it has not been possible to carry out it before, but now it is rare for Dian Jie to provide so many armor and weapons, but he can complete this task first.

The reward for the mission is a black iron level lottery, and he only hopes that this lottery can draw something that can tide him over. But honestly, he didn't have too much expectations, just because there were always so many options on the roulette wheel, and the odds of winning a certain thing that was best suited for use at this stage were too low.

But no matter what, it's a hope!

In the evening, the army quickly completed the change of clothes, and Fang Yun also took the opportunity to complete the main task of the system.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest - Powerful Road (2) to change clothes and reward the Black Iron level lottery once!"

"New main quest generating, please ...... later"

"Main Quest - The Road to Strength (3) The military soul condenses the military soul exclusive to the host unit (note: the military soul is the aggregate of faith and belief). Rewards: 5 free attribute points, 2 skill points, and a bronze draw. ”

Obviously, this should be the last task of the novice period, after all, after this trilogy, the real army will be formed, and those who are confused, only know the charm of the commander and kill the enemy under the military order, this is a strong army with self-awareness and soul, the elite that no one can easily shake!

However, let's complete this main quest first...... (To be continued......)

PS: At first, some people thought that I recruited the Norishi clan only for a military general and blacksmith, but in fact, it was to complete a main quest. Of course, there are further arrangements, all of which will unfold with the defection of the Dian family.

Chapter 2 is here!
