Chapter 373

Zhao Ze won two cities in one year, which is already a good record, because most of the soldiers are new recruits. Most of the displaced people who came to Yingfeng County at the beginning were young and strong, and the old and weak had starved to death on the way, so he was able to recruit so many soldiers and horses.

It's just that there are more soldiers and horses, and the consumption of food and money is also large, plus the newly won two cities are far less luxurious than Yingfeng County, so the county government here does not have much food, plus Zhao Ze recruited troops again, the source of soldiers reached 150,000, and the consumption of 150,000 soldiers and horses eating horses and horses is very large, but the place of the three cities cannot afford to raise it at all, so the inventory of Eagle's Beak Ridge was quickly exhausted.

The surrounding forces do not allow merchants to come and go, the goods in Yingfeng County cannot be sold, there is not much fertile land for the people to cultivate, and most of the young and strong join the army, so they will soon be unable to hold on. Even with the money and food they prepared in advance, it wouldn't last long, and Zhao Ze knew that it was impossible to support the Eagle's Beak Ridge, so she called her Wenchen strategists over to discuss how to solve it.

"General, the biggest problem now is that the land and other forces have to be blocked, as long as one of these two problems is solved, we can hold on for a while, and then it will not be a problem to take two more county seats, and our predicament can be solved with two more county seats."

Because there are two counties nearby with sufficient money and grain, most of the merchants who went to Yingfeng County to buy goods before bought grain from these two counties and went to Yingfeng County, but also because the money and grain are sufficient, these two counties are not so easy to take, and they need elite soldiers, so they must train these soldiers again to reach the elite level.

Zhao Ze: "I know what you said about how to solve the problem?" There is no way to solve these two problems, we can only reduce the number of troops, but without enough troops, we will not be able to take these two county seats. ”

"General, it's better for us to do what Mr. has to do, if we had done it according to Mr.'s method, we wouldn't be in the predicament we have now."

"Yes, General, most of the fertile land is in the hands of the nobles, many people have no land, they can only cultivate for these nobles, and the nobles do not have to pay taxes, we know that the taxes collected from the people are not enough to raise an army of more than 100,000."

"Do you think I don't want to? I have already asked Mr. if there is any solution to the problem, but Mr. said no, and he can't move those scholars now, because there are more strong scholars in Yuexian and Huangxian, and it will be more difficult for us to take these two county seats. ”

Zhao Ze did send a message back to ask Ji Cheng some two questions, he didn't do what Ji Cheng said before because he didn't think it was necessary, even if the people didn't have land, they could feed them, but he didn't expect that the trade route would have such a big impact in the future.

It's not that he deliberately wants to go against Ji Cheng, but if he moves the warriors of Yingfeng County at that time, it will be difficult to attack Yue County and Huang County.

I thought that with the commodity maintenance of Eagle Beak Ridge, they could take Yue County and Huang County, but he didn't expect it to be consumed so quickly and break his plan.

"Since Mr. can't sleep, then it can't be like this, let's first secretly contact the scholars of Huang County and Yue County, and ask them to help us open the city gate, if they help us, we can break the current situation."

"How can it be so easy, although we are not as strong as the warriors of Dongsan County, but these warriors have looked down on us warriors, and they used to be polite to us because we brought them a lot of benefits, and they did support some money and food at the beginning, but they didn't support it anymore after that. After all, we are not a nobleman, and we will not have their sincere support. As for those heroes and strong, they have always respected the scholars, and they will follow how the scholars sit, and they will support whoever the scholars support. Zhao Ze was also helpless.

I thought that if I was good to them, they would be good to them, but the fact is that if you are not a scholar with them, they will not really support you, and no matter how good you are to him, it is useless.

"These people shouldn't have been kept in the first place, although the scholars in Huangxian and Yue County are much stronger, but as long as our reputation is out, the people will turn to us, we have enough money and food support, and it is no problem to slowly fight Huang County and Yue County at night."

"Yes, regret should not leave these scourges, all blame us for being too self-righteous at the beginning, and we felt that we were no worse than Mr., which resulted in today's situation, and harmed the great cause of the general......"

"Don't say this, Mr. also guessed that you would be like this, so let me tell you, it is inevitable that you will encounter setbacks on the road to hegemony, don't be discouraged because of this setback, there are always more ways than troubles, everyone think about it and there is always a solution." Zhao Ze comforted.

"General, why don't you invite Mr. here!"

Zhao Ze smiled bitterly: "My grandfather wanted to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain to help, but Mr. said this:

My prestige here is not low, and the territory we have won after we go out must be our own people. They will strictly enforce the policies that I have proposed, and that's because they believe in me, and they will strictly enforce them even if someone gets in the way. But this is not necessarily in line with the local customs.

If I am not there, they will arrange it according to the local customs, and find a way to solve the difficulties themselves, instead of asking me if they have difficulties. In the minds of many people, I am omnipotent, so they subconsciously form a dependence on me, and the policies I say will definitely be considered correct by them. But it's not, so I'm really not fit to go out.

This is what Mr. has to say, Mr. wants us to grow up, he said that each of us is not bad, but we lack experience, so we can't let Mr. down, we must make some achievements to show Mr. ”

"I'm ashamed, I still wanted to be without Mr. at the beginning, whether it is vision or mind, we are far inferior to Mr., Mr. doesn't want us to live in his shadow, she is giving us a chance to come out."

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's think about whether there is any way to solve the current dilemma." Zhao Ze didn't get fat, they blamed themselves, and asked them to find a way again.

After being silent for a while, Bai Feng opened his mouth and said: "General, the nobles of the scholar clan value interests, as long as there are enough interests, they will support whom, then we can use interests to lure them." ”

"How to lure?" Zhao Ze asked.

Bai Feng: "We can promise them first, as long as we help us open the city gate, then we can blacken them with the manufacturing method of soap and paper later, and they will produce it later, we only need 20% of the profits." In this way, they will definitely be tempted, and if they don't believe it, they will give them the cement forging method first.
