Chapter 383: Advance Stronghold

After the Flying Fish Territory became a first-class city, there was an expansion of the army, and there are now 1,000 rock battalions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu unwise decided, Flying Fish led the expansion of the army to 2,000 people!

The expansion of the army is a relatively large step, with the current situation of the special territory, it seems that there is no need to maintain so many troops, Xun Yan and Qu Chen only said that the lord is worried that the Panshi battalion will suffer losses in the disaster area, and would rather invest more funds, so as not to overstretch the troops in front. Yu Buzhi was happy to see them think so, he had no way to tell Xun Yan and the others now that Luoyang would soon usher in a bloody storm, and Feiyu Ling had to prepare early.

Funds are needed to recruit troops.

Yu Buzhi was prepared for a long time, and said: "Before I came, I noticed that the flying fish collar was still very rich, and I only brought 200,000 gold here. Now that the territory is rich, if you don't have to worry too much about the lack of money in the future, you can spend it. ”

Xun Yan promised and accepted it calmly.

"Big brother, now that we have money, let's quickly form a cavalry!"

Yu Buzhi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "I expected you to think about this, not to mention how much it costs, where can we buy war horses?" ”

"There's a way!"

Qu Chen told Lu Yu Su Shuang and the others how they were escorted out of the wolf plague area, and said proudly: "That Mr. Su gave 50 high-grade war horses, and I asked Wang Ji to send someone back in the morning, and he should be able to return to the Flying Fish Territory this afternoon." I once told Mr. Su that if the territory formed cavalry in the future, he might need to buy some good horses, and he agreed! ”

Xun Yan and Yu Buzhi glanced at each other, and they were both happy.

50 high-quality war horses is obviously a generous gift.

The most important thing is that with this relationship with the horse dealer, there is no way to buy a horse in the future.

Yu Buzhi's heart moved, and he asked, "Ah Chen, you said that Zhongshan horse businessman's surname is Su, what is his full name?" ”

"Su Shuang."

And so it was!

Yu Buzhi sighed with emotion, Qu Chen entered Youzhou to pick up people, and actually saved Su Shuang by chance, this kid will definitely bring up the old things again, dreaming of forming a cavalry......

Qu Chen added: "That Mr. Su is a good drinker, I promised to give him a jar of Ba Xiangqing, we will buy a horse from him, and we will definitely give a fair price." Next time the eldest brother comes over, you might as well bring more Ba Xiangqing. ”

"I'll try to bring it as much as I can."

Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly.

It doesn't take much time to teleport all the way from Zhulu Ling to Feiyu Ling, but the teleportation fee spent is not, and more than 30,000 gold has to be used up one way. In the past, Yu Buzhi had no experience, and when he wanted to leave, he committed suicide and returned to the city, but now he is busy rushing to the level, if he doesn't want to lose experience, he has to spend a lot of money on the return journey, and it is sixty or seventy thousand inside and out. Even if he didn't bring anything when he went out, he brought 50 Tanba Xiangqing, and according to the price of the deer collar, the total value of the special products he brought was 25,000 gold, and the cost of sending wine was obviously very high. From an economic point of view, there is no operational value.

On the other hand, Qu Chen's proposal for the formation of cavalry also made Yu Buzhi very embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, all he is entangled with is one word: money.

Ba Xiangqing put into production, and the financial situation of the territory has improved greatly, but don't forget that the cost of chasing the deer is also very scary, the high salary expenditure is every month, the two docks are upgraded at full capacity, and there are two money-burning projects in the secondary city, and the daily money is like flowing water. The current Zhulu Leader does have the ability to transfuse blood for the Flying Fish Leader, but the huge cost of forming a cavalry is really unbearable.

Yu Buzhi did not shy away from this question, and frankly told Qu Chen the current situation of the territory and asked him to wait patiently.

Qu Chen was a little disappointed, but the reality was like this, no one could do anything.

Yu Buzhi then left and returned to the deer collar.

With Xun Yan and Qu Chen here, he was very relieved about the Flying Fish Collar.

Qu Chen did not stay in the Flying Fish Collar for a long time, and returned to the contact point on the south bank of the Qing River alone.

The Flying Fish Collar has become even busier.

Xun Yan ordered the conscription, and the remaining transferred generals selected 1,000 young and strong, and pulled them outside the territory to start the leveling mode, striving to raise the elite level to the ordinary level as soon as possible, and devote themselves to the leading action in Youzhou as soon as possible.

Construction of the Special Territory continued, and the construction of residential houses continued in preparation for the arrival of more refugees.

Xun Yan went to Huangling Town, a grain production base, to take over the task of upgrading the subordinate territory.

Previously, Xun Yan had reached an agreement with Yu Buzhi, and the next 4 opportunities for upgrading the subordinate territories were all left to Jizhou's side. The Zhulu Army has made remarkable achievements in attracting refugees, and the population of the Flying Fish Territory is increasing, and upgrading the subordinate territories can increase the population capacity of the Jizhou Territory and avoid the embarrassing situation that the population exceeds the upper limit and there is not enough space for resettlement.

In addition, with the influx of large populations, the food supply in Jizhou territory began to be tight, and almost all fishermen in Hailang Town were conscripted to transport supplies and refugees, and fishery production came to a close standstill, further exacerbating the food supply shortage. It was under such circumstances that it was wise for Xun Yan to prioritize the upgrading of Huangling Town.

When Qu Chen returned to the pick-up point, there were no refugees or war horses in sight.

More than 30 fishing boats remained at the junction, and some fishermen were fishing in the nearby river.

He immediately convened all the transferred generals to discuss the matter.

Knowing that the troops were about to continue to the north and look for a stronghold in the disaster area, Wang Ji and others were all gearing up.

Everyone knows that the opportunity to attract refugees is extremely important to the development of Flying Fish Territory, and moving the base to the north allows everyone to search nearby, which not only saves time, but also expands the search scope and attracts more refugees.

After the military discussion, the two demobilized generals took their guides, each summoned more than a dozen soldiers from the Rock Battalion, boarded the fishing boat and headed upstream. They divided their troops into two routes, and went upriver along the Zhigou and Quanzhou canals respectively to find a suitable base for the advance of the large army.

The soldiers of the Rock Battalion, who remained at the pick-up point, began to enjoy the longest vacation since the beginning of the operation.

The holiday lasted three days.

Counting the time for Qu Chen to go back and forth to the Flying Fish Territory, the Zhulu Army got four days of rest.

Such a long rest is enough for everyone to wash away their fatigue and face the next tasks in the best condition. The fleet led by Liu Lang, the mayor of Hailang Town, also transported a large amount of supplies from Feiyu to provide sufficient logistical support for the operation of the Zhulu Army.

Three days later, the two advance teams returned with separate information.

Qu Chen chose a temporary base.

At the sound of the order, the answering point immediately became noisy.

Dozens of people were left to garrison this contact point, and other officers and men of the Zhulu Army boarded fishing boats, and more than 100 medium-sized fishing boats loaded with troops and supplies went north along the Qing River.

Penny rises and falls, causing countless ripples.

The fisherman's song startled the flocks of birds in the reeds by the river.

The fleet crossed the Quanzhou Canal without entering, continued upstream, and finally turned into Zhigou.

Went up the river along the ditch, traveled for another day and night, and docked at a river bay about ten miles away from Yongnu County. The soldiers carried the supplies off the boat, and the fishermen cooperated to tie the boat to the river bay, and then together with the deer chaser, they carried the supplies to the destination.

The chosen base of the Chase Army was the town of Baiqiu.

Baiqiu Town is a third-level township, with a population of more than 4,000 people, with a certain ability to protect itself, threatened by wolves, Baiqiu Town is willing to accept the Zhulu Army to temporarily station. Baiqiu Town is in the central area of Yuyang County, which is an area that has not been reached by the Zhulu Army, and it is only two miles away from the straight line distance of Zhigou, and it is also convenient to approach it from the waterway.

The arrival of the deer army was warmly welcomed by the soldiers and civilians in the town.

With a regular army stationed, everyone will sleep much more peacefully at night.
