362 Logistics Chief

Chang'an City was controlled by the four major warlords of Kansai.

East City Gate, Huangfu Song; North City Gate, Ma Teng; West City Gate, Han Sui; South City Gate, Zhan Xiaobai. The troops of the four major warlords each guarded a city gate, balancing the situation in Chang'an City. The relationship between them is very complicated: Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers; Huangfu Song and Zhan Xiaobai are teachers and students; Ma, Han, and Xiaobai are the three Liangs of the divided side, but Huangfu Song has no territory; Ma, Han, and Huangfu are all NPCs, and Xiaobai is a player; Huangfu Song is the leader of the Kansai Alliance, and the other three are auxiliary.

The four major forces have come together for a common goal, and the wrestling between them will directly affect the overall situation in Kansai.

Zhan Xiaobai was assigned the position of the governor for logistics supply.

In the Kwanti Alliance, only the princes were eligible for logistical supply treatment, and the same was true for the Dong Zhuo Alliance and the Kwantung Alliance. Therefore, the service objects of Zhan Xiaobai's logistics supply are the armies of the NPC princes including Huangfu Song, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Song Yang, as well as the regular NPC armies of the players and princes of the Eighteenth Road. Players who are dependent on the princes will not be able to obtain the supplies provided by the Alliance, and must find their own solutions to the food and grass problem.

Ma Teng 27,000 (7,000 heavy cavalry), Han Sui 24,000 (9,000 heavy cavalry), Huangfu Song 18,000 (mostly heavy infantry), Zhan Xiaobai 12,000 (light cavalry), Song Yang 5,000 (light cavalry). The NPC strength of the remaining seventeen players and princes ranges from 5,000 to 10,000, and most of them are level 30~60 various types of troops put together to mix miscellaneous horse and foot scattered troops, unlike Sanliang, which are all "color" troops, and the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous army is obviously much weaker than Sanliang.

The total strength of the NPCs "registered" by the princes of the Huangfu Song Alliance is named, and it may be reduced at any time due to death. The larger number of "non-registered" NPC troops is not included in the supply list.

As long as Zhan Xiaobai delivered the grain and grass hoarded in Chang'an City to the hands of the various princes on time, even if the task was completed, his troops did not need to go to the battlefield. Of course, he also has to guard against accidents such as robbery, fire, and water loss when the player's eyes are hot. The army must be used to transport grain and grass over long distances to ensure the safety of baggage.

Zhan Xiaobai ordered Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Huangfu Li, Zhang Feng and others to quickly take over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an City, all warehouses, manufacturing departments, equipment warehouses, and transportation departments...... As long as the "government" departments next to logistics, materials, and manufacturing are all taken over, and the number is counted.

Tens of thousands of NPC craftsmen in Chang'an City were also recruited by Zhan Xiaobai in the name of the government, and concentrated in the major workshop areas in the city, manufacturing baggage vehicles, arrows, and siege equipment day and night for the army.

In addition, Qiushui, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Ah Fei, Sky Leopard and other backbone members began to count the number of available materials in Chang'an City.

Tian Leopard counted the grain and grass stored in Chang'an City, and said worriedly: "Boss, there is not much grain and grass hoarded in Chang'an City, only enough for the consumption of 200,000 troops for three months. I think we must levy the grain and grass in the player villages around Sanfu to get the grain and grass supply, otherwise the army will run out of food and grass, and all of them will have to drink the northwest wind. However, there seems to be a tendency for tax evasion in the player village......"

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "I will propose to Huangfu Song to adjust the taxes and tax rates of all villages in Youfufeng, Jingzhaoyin, and Zuo Fengyi, from the original 5%, to a fixed amount of grain, grass and taxes for each village every month, so as to avoid malicious tax evasion in the player's village." There are many rich villages in the Sanfu area, and their grain output is much stronger than that of our Liangzhou, and I am not afraid that they will not be able to pay the grain. ”

Spring and Autumn Shaoxia and Ah Fei glanced at each other.

Ah Fei said with a treacherous smile: "Big brother, anyway, in the name of Chang'an Mansion, grain and taxes are collected from the player's village. Or big brother, you suggest to Huangfu Song that you simply impose heavy taxes on Sanfu's villages, and squeeze Sanfu's villages dry, and we will also make some extra money from them. Anyway, no one knows that we did it, how about it? ”

Qiushui casually picked up an account book and knocked it over, knocking Ah Fei out of the way.

Ah Fei rubbed his head and looked aggrieved: "Sister Qiushui, what's wrong?" I'm not wrong! ”

Qiushui feigned anger and said: "Dead Ah Fei, if this news leaks out, won't it ruin Big Brother Bai's reputation?" In the thousands of villages of Sanfu, millions of players still don't hate Big Brother Bai anymore! Come up with some bad ideas. ”

Ah Fei muttered a few times, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiushui is so worried about the reputation of the eldest brother, won't it be ...... Let's do it! ”

Qiushui's face turned red, glanced at Zhan Xiaobai, and quickly picked up the account book as thick as a brick and slapped it towards Ah Fei.

Ah Fei screamed in fright and jumped up.

The Spring and Autumn Young Man gloated and shouted: "Ah Fei, this time you are dead, and if you don't die, you will shed your skin!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai watched them frolicking, smiling lightly, but secretly said in his heart: This is a good idea to weaken Sanfu Village and strengthen its own financial resources. It's just that with Huang Fu Song's temperament, most of them will not agree to this suggestion that is easy to cause "public resentment", in case Huang Fu Song is unhappy because of this, it will not be good. Besides, if this news leaks, it will indeed offend people.

Zhan Xiaobai considered the gains and losses, and finally shook his head.

Tian Leopard said: "Boss, the day before yesterday, we lost thousands of light cavalry, and there are still more than 500,000 players waiting to go to the battlefield, fighting a battle, it is a large amount of expenses, and a large amount of military expenditure has not yet been settled." We can't keep Wuwei County burdening expenses, otherwise we will drag down Wuwei. Look, shouldn't we think about it......"

"Oh?"

Tianbao observed Zhan Xiaobai's face, and said: "Chang'an City is rich in materials, and we happen to be in charge of logistics, if we can 'save' in all links." Maybe make up for a small part of our losses,......"

Zhan Xiaobai smiled.

It is not surprising that the leopard would come up with this idea. When faced with a large number of materials that do not belong to them, but are in their hands, few people can face them without being moved. Especially when you are "lacking" few materials, you have every reason to persuade yourself to "save" a part of it to improve your own situation.

Ah Fei's suggestion is to open up the source of materials, and the more materials there are, the more convenient it will be to obtain a small part of them for other purposes. Tianbao's suggestion is to reduce expenditure, reduce the way of materials, and save to make up for its own losses.

Open source is easy to offend people, and as long as you do it secretly, it doesn't hurt much.

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it for a while, Huangfu Song arranged his students in this position, obviously not wanting the benefits to be given to outsiders. smiled: "Well, it's up to you and Ah Fei to do this." It is enough for the Kansai army for three months, especially to ensure the use of the Huangfu Song army. As for the other food and grass materials saved, they will be used to improve the 'food' of our army. Let's work hard to crusade against Dong Zhuo, we can't lose money, right? ”

Sky Leopard smiled and nodded, "Understood."

Ah Fei was excited, and hurriedly pulled the leopard to the side, thinking about how to save expenses.

The Spring and Autumn Young Man shook his head and buried himself in his own affairs.

Zhan Xiaobai asked Qiushui to take a brief topographic map of Sanfu at this time, and studied another thing. There are a lot of materials in Chang'an City, and there are many NPC rich families, but Zhan Xiaobai doesn't dare to move, with Huangfu Song here, not many people in Chang'an City dare to 'mess' around, and the law and order is quite good. Therefore, the Heavenly Leopard and Ah Fei can only obtain a small amount of benefits from the supply of grain and grass, and cannot ...... from other aspects.

Zhan Xiaobai doesn't value this little benefit in logistics, he doesn't think that this little benefit can solve his losses and huge military spending.

There must be more wealth to fill the hole in the books of the Little White Alliance army.

His eyes focused on the other NPC towns in the Sanfu area, "Longxi, Jicheng, Chencang, Tianshui, Weinan, Qinchuan, Anyi, Xie Liang, Shangdang, Pingyang, ......". These cities swept by Zhan Xiaobai are all small towns built by people sent by the NPC government. These small towns did not exist, but the government had blueprints of all levels, and the speed of building cities was much faster than that of the player, and a large number of small towns were established to share the pressure on the main cities. At present, they belong to Dong Zhuo's camp, and there are quite a few NPC troops stationed there.

A large number of troops of the Guanxi princes are on standby in various dangerous places, preparing to encircle and suppress the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army in these small towns.

These cities are different from Chang'an, Chang'an has Huangfu Song in charge, but these cities do not, and the wealth of the NPC is exposed in front of the player's army after losing the military protection of the government. The player's army has no scruples, as long as they capture these small cities, they can do whatever they want. The riches of these cities are spoils of war.

This is where the wealth of this war lies, and without these many small cities to attract them, the players and princes would not have such great passion and motivation to travel thousands of miles to participate in the general battle.

For the small princes of all walks of life, as long as they capture a small city, all the capital will be returned.

Zhan Xiaobai breathed a long sigh of relief and instructed Zhou Meng, the captain of the guards at the door, "Prepare the car, prepare to go to Huangfu Song's mansion." ”

Qiushui was puzzled: "Brother Bai, what are you doing with Huangfu Song now?" Suggest to him that the tax should be adjusted? ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "It's not just that. I'm going to ask Huangfu Song for a right, and I'll coordinate the deployment of the army of the Eighteen Road players and princes, and take the initiative in distribution. ”

Qiushui was even more suspicious: "Huangfu Song is the leader of the alliance, how can he let Big Brother Bai transfer troops?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said leisurely: "This requires a little skill. ”
