Chapter 541: Inadequate
The official walked into the door quickly, and saw that Li Bojian was still eating at this time, so he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The lower official has already dialed two hundred divine arms and bows to get the south gate, and the oil has also been added to eight hundred catties, and another two hundred wood, and the people have made up fifty." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "General judgment, at present, there are less than seven hundred divine arm bows left in the warehouse, and the people are not enough for a long time, so they can only temporarily borrow labor to help transport arrows...... Once the North Gate, West Gate, and East Gate know about it, and come back to ask for it, what should be done with what the South Gate has obtained this time? ”
Li Bojian's myriad things were piled up on the desk, and because he hadn't slept for two days and two nights, his brain couldn't turn anymore, and he heard the person opposite say this, and after a while, he understood the meaning.
He had always known that the troops and manpower in the city were insufficient, and the arrows, bows and crossbows and other ordnance were also very nervous, but he was so nervous that he could not operate with less than fifty people, which really made him unexpected.
The official continued to ask: "Tung oil has been used for seventy-seven eighty-eight, and now it is collecting vegetable oil all over the city, but the Communist Party can't gather much...... I just got over, but I saw that several military academies at the gate were clamoring for new recruits, and there was really no one to find in the yamen......"
Li Bojian listened to it with a big head.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, rubbed his temples, thought for a while, opened his mouth to speak, and then realized that he didn't remember what he had just thought, or that he hadn't actually thought anything just now, and his mind was blank at this time.
The officials on the other side were still looking at him, waiting for his orders.
Li Bojian opened his mouth, and almost remembered what Gu Yanzhang said about recruiting new soldiers and sending laborers when he handed over to him, and asked, "Didn't you just erect the recruitment flag two days ago?" Gu Gouyuan told me that if it should go well, he should be able to get 800 this time. ”
The official said, "It is true that more than 800 people have been recruited, but they have all been sent to the four city gates...... There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, let alone eight hundred, even eight thousand will not be used. ”
Li Bojian still had the heart to eat at this time, so he only stood up, returned to the case, and turned out the official document reported by the next person, and went through it hastily, feeling more and more anxious.
In the city, from the people and soldiers, to the ordnance and grain, and even the patrol guards, all the arrangements were in Gu Yanzhang's hands for the first two days, but Jiaozhi attacked the city this time, it was too long, too tragic, and one relied on the ladder car and the attack cave that I didn't know where to find, and took advantage of the rain for several days, when the divine arm bow was soaked in moisture and softened, it was already under the city.
Those barbarian generals in Guangyuan Prefecture all seemed to be dying.
The east gate of the city is the deputy general of the rebel army Zhou Yun and a commander in the city of Yongzhou, the previous Jiaozhi siege, enough to use nearly 10,000 soldiers to attack the east gate, someone has rushed to the city wall, forced and cut down again, all rely on wood, stone smashing, and with tung oil, vegetable oil fire attack, can be forced to retreat.
In this battle, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, the deputy general Zhou Yun was seriously injured, only a commander with a broken hand was left to defend the city, and the rest of the city gates also had casualties.
There are no generals at the east gate, and the officers who can go up in the city are already on the city wall, and there are only a few people who can control the scene.
Unable to find a suitable general to defend the city, Gu Yanzhang had to hand over the affairs in his hand and went up to the east gate city wall by himself.
Li Bojian is the general judge of Yongzhou, so it is naturally impossible to defend the city, in comparison, he is standing on the city wall, and it is not of much use, it is better to take care of government affairs in the state government, so he simply took over the work at hand of Gu Yanzhang.
At first, he didn't notice anything wrong, but the more he got back, the more he couldn't deal with it.
The same subordinates, the same number of heavy errands, the same work process, but I don't know why, when those people, soldiers, and officials were under Gu Yanzhang, they could complete all the things on time and in quantity, but when it came to his hands, there were constantly all kinds of problems, either it was too late, or there were fewer numbers, either the wrong city gate, or the mess.
He thought that this was the next person watching the dishes, eating soft and afraid of hard, bullying his weak ability, so he specially summoned a few officials to come over, and talked sincerely, Ziyun When this time of life and death, if you don't work together to resist the enemy, everyone is an official of the imperial court, once the city is broken, if you just die in the country, but the parents, wives and children at home, but they don't know what the result is.
However, when the officials heard this, they complained bitterly, and they all said that they had done their best.
Li Bojian had to take time out alone and reorganize the process with everyone.
After thinking about it, he finally discovered the problem.
All the logistics supplies involved in the defense of the city in Yongzhou City were brought up by Gu Yanzhang, and now that he has been replaced as the consul, he is naturally just scratching the head, and the matter is handed over to the people below to manage.
Li Bojian did not change any of the rules and procedures set by Gu Yanzhang at the beginning, whether it was the officials, soldiers, or even the people, they all acted according to the previous practices, but Li Bojian was not Gu Yanzhang.
For example, Gu Yanzhang divided the city into several square districts, and a number of women were selected from each square area, which were divided into several rounds, according to two meals a day, responsible for cooking for the city gate guards, who chopped wood, who burned the fire, who drew water, and even who was responsible for loading the meal.
Gu Yanzhang's arrangement of errands has always been meticulous to the extreme, how much firewood, how much grain, how much water, how much is needed to make a single person's meal every day, all of them have regulations, as long as everyone reports the number of people at the city gate, according to the previous regulations, they can finish what they want to do, no need to use their brains, and they don't need to worry about any nosy things.
At the same time, Gu Yanzhang took out a number of men from the fang area, divided into several rounds, and everyone acted without using their brains, and they all listened to the assignment from above.
For example, when a certain team needs to take a number of arrows and a number of bows and crossbows from the Silver Lion Lane, and send them to the east gate, this team will reconfirm the number of people for lunch with the defending generals, and then bring the wounded defenders back to the yamen.
Although a team of people is only on duty for four hours a day, they often travel the same way and will do several errands, saving time and manpower on the one hand.
These assignments rely on nothing else, but Gu Yanzhang's own familiarity with the affairs of the city.
