Seeing this, Ma Chao nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "What about the materials transferred from all over the country?" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at Liang Xi and Hao Zhao, a little nervous in their hearts, at present, the grain and grass carried by Ma Chao's department can only last for about seven days, and now 50,000 soldiers and horses have entered Shu for four days, and there will be no grain in three days, if there is no grain and grass supply in Hanzhong, even if Nanzheng is captured today, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entering Shu can only be helplessly withdrawn, which is not what everyone in the hall wants to see.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Liang Xi and Hao Zhao, and everyone was very concerned about the important matter of eating a full stomach.

Seeing this, Liang Xi and Hao Zhao glanced at each other, but saw Hao Zhao get up and hugged his fists and said: "Fortunately, Zhang Lu didn't expect our army to come so quickly, so the materials gathered from all over the country are still piled up in several warehouses, not to mention the weapons and armor for the time being, there are 400,000 stones of grain alone, and this is still part of the remaining inventory taken away by Zhang Lu..."

When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked, 400,000 stones? This was really smashed by the grain, everyone looked at Hao Zhao in a daze, thinking that they had heard it wrong, seeing Hao Zhao's expression, it was definitely not a joke, and after being surprised, they were overjoyed.

"400,000 stones, my mother" Guo Yuan was also shocked, and his voice was full of deep exclamation.

"It is said that there is a lot of grain in Hanzhong, and today Tian has really seen that a Nanzheng can easily accumulate 200,000 stones and two stones, and Zhang Lu has really done something practical in the past 30 years in Hanzhong." Tian Kai said with a smile.

"yes"

Liang Xi also sighed a little: "Hanzhong has rarely encountered wars in recent years, unlike the frequent wars in other states and counties, the local people are relatively peaceful and contentment. ”

But Liang Xi continued: "In recent years, the lord no longer frequently uses troops abroad, but actively implements tuntian. It is to take into account the important factor of grain and grass. In the past few years, we have not been in Youzhou, Yongzhou, and you have seen the situation in several places. Unexpectedly, a small Hanzhong, there are so many grain and grass reserves, after a rough calculation, according to the small official of the library, when Zhang Lu left Chuyang, he took away at least 100,000 stone of grain and grass, and Nanzheng alone hoarded more than 500,000 stone of grain, which does not include the continuous transportation to Nanzheng from other counties. In Hanzhong alone, after deducting consumption, the annual output of grain is at least nearly one million stones, which is really remarkable. ”

Ma Chao was also quite excited, with grain and grass, not only the 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command could be fed, but the other soldiers and horses led by Pang Tong could also have less worries, although the grain and grass of 400,000 stones could not support the continuous consumption of the 100,000 army, but it could also ensure a month's use, and in this month's time. They are not without other sources of food and grass, and they have made initial progress. The situation is only getting better for them.

"Send some of the soldiers of Qishan to the past, and then send 5,000 men and horses out of Qishan, with the danger of Qishan, 5,000 people are enough." Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Second brother, you can go to this matter yourself."

"Whoa." Ma Xiu, whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to Ma Chao, replied in a deep voice.

"Someone Coming"

The guards outside the door walked in and stood with their fists clenched.

"Go and invite Li Yao."

Everyone in the hall frowned slightly, but they didn't say much, with Ma Chao's identity, he can use the word please, his status is definitely not low, and at worst, he must be able to sit on an equal footing with everyone in the hall.

The guard turned away, and within a moment a thin figure walked in.

Dressed in a black robe and black boots, this young woman, without any fragrance as a companion, walked in lifelessly.

"Li Yao has seen the major general."

Looking at Li Yao, who stood with his head down, but didn't have much respect, Ma Chao didn't have any anger, as the heir of the Xiliang Ma family, Ma Chao was under the command of Yuan Shang, and his status was not low, at least, even generals with general-level ranks such as Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Zhu Ling did not dare to despise it, but this extremely respected identity was invisibly weakened a little bit in front of the intelligence department.

The Intelligence Department has never been responsible for any general, or even under their control, and every city may not necessarily have the existence of the Falcon Intelligence Team, but it will definitely have the existence of the Intelligence Department.

Since Yuan Shang began to lay the intelligence network when he was a teenager, in fifteen years, no one knows how far it has grown, even Ziyang, who is the leader of the intelligence department, many times, a certain chess piece appears unexpectedly, all in Yuan Shang's grasp.

Its existence is different from the simple military intelligence exploration of the Falcon Intelligence Team, it is a dark cloud shrouded in this blue sky and white sun, and it is a steel knife hanging on the head of Yuan Shang's subordinate martial arts.

Its deterrent effect is so strong that it is even impossible to maintain other relations with any civil and military officials, and Li Yao's lack of respect for Ma Chao is the unified attitude of other intelligence officers in the intelligence department towards generals at all levels or a county guard.

Ma Chao may have been angry, but now he has always been cautious when getting along with the personnel of the intelligence department, and he does not dare to slack off at all, or even dare to be alone with the other party, for fear of getting involved in a relationship that he shouldn't have.

This is the intelligence department that Yuan Shang can create, it can exist, but it can't rely on others other than Yuan Shang to exist, otherwise, survival and destruction are only in Yuan Shang's paper.

"Please Li Baisi inform General Staff Pang of everything that happened tonight, and make another report to Chang'an" Ma Chao just glanced at Li Yao and said indifferently.

Three years ago, the intelligence department underwent reform again, with ten people as the banner, one hundred people as the division, one thousand people as households, and thousands of households outside, there are several departments at the top of the pyramid, headed by Ziyang, under the jurisdiction of four places, divided into four deputy departments, and Li Yao is the intelligence department of the army, under the jurisdiction of more than 100 capable agents, and the entire intelligence department has less than 20 departments, so this person is also a high-ranking person.

"Yes"

Li Yao nodded slightly, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "Do you have any other orders?" ”

Ma Chao pondered for a moment, and added again: "Now that Nanzheng has taken it, there is General Staff Pang in Chuyang to lead the crowd to take action, and it is not a big problem, since this is the case, in the name of this general, I ask the lord to appoint a capable official to Hanzhong to receive the vacant vacancies in each county." ”

"Got it"

Li Yao nodded again and said, "If there are no other instructions, I will arrange it." ”

"Go ahead," Ma Chao said, waving his hand.

Seeing Li Yao turn around, all the generals in the hall felt a heavy aura of grievance dissipate in an instant, and their hearts were extremely comfortable.

"These intelligence leaders, but wherever they go, there are black clouds everywhere." Guo Yuan shook his head and said a little dullly.

"Brother Zimeng, don't lose your words"

Guo Huai, who was on the side, hurriedly reminded: "It's not good to be heard by Li Yao." ”

"What are you afraid of?"

Ma Chao's third brother Ma Tie also said indifferently: "A woman, don't stay in a good boudoir, what kind of intelligence leader, you are afraid of her, but I, Ma Tie, am not afraid of her." ”

"Third brother, what nonsense."

saw Ma Chao slap the table and said: "Li Yao represents the intelligence department, and he is the majesty of the lord, how can you talk about it casually." ”

When the words fell, he hurriedly bowed his hand to everyone in the hall and said: "My third brother, you are rude, just listen to it, don't take it seriously... Don't take it seriously. ”

Ma Chao's face was really a little blue, looking at Ma Tie's indifferent expression, he almost flipped the table and punched him, in his opinion, it was okay to talk about it in private, now there are more than a dozen generals in the hall, there are many people, and when the time comes, it will come out, offending Li Yao, and there is still room for turnaround, if Yuan Shang is dissatisfied with the Ma family because of this, it will really be a disaster.

Fortunately, Liang Xi, Hao Zhaoyun, He Bayun and others also had the right to go in and out of the left ear, and they each played haha, giving Ma Chao enough face.

"It doesn't matter"

"Haha"

Even Guo Yuan Bayun and a few people with rough temperaments also understand that they are talking about the fate of the intelligence department behind their backs, but Ma Chao angrily reprimanded Ma Tie first, even if Li Yao heard it himself, he can only give up, not to mention, Li Yao is not present, as long as there is no one in them, it is not a big deal.

Everyone discussed the military again, and soon, the sky was bright, and the ordinary people had just pushed open the gate, but they had already found that there were more elite teams on the main roads in the city, and the squires and officials who were beating the gong and announcing them shouted in a thick voice, at this time, even the people who slept heavily last night also understood that Nanzhen had changed its master overnight, and the flag on the city had already been replaced, and the tiger was whining the banner month by month, and the faces of people with a little knowledge changed drastically, and they also recognized the source of the flag.

At this time, Zhang Lu, who had just left Nanzhen for a day, did not know that Nanzheng, which he had worked hard for 30 years, fell into the hands of others overnight. (To be continued......)
