Chapter 538: Target Wu Huan
Although Liu Bei's army carefully kept his distance, he was still blocked by Huyi, but it was a little surprising that Liu Bei's army of more than 100,000 people was only 40,000 or 50,000, but there were a lot of flags, and it did look like there were hundreds of thousands in the distance, in fact, more than half of the people had long since died.
Seeing this situation, Hu Yi did not use the blasting arrow, but only led a charge of 30,000 cavalry, and completely defeated the group of miscellaneous soldiers.
In fact, the group of miscellaneous soldiers were not ready to fight at all, and as soon as they saw the cavalry rushing forward, they immediately lost their weapons and surrendered, allowing Huyi to pick up a big bargain in vain, of course, it can also be said to be a big burden.
Nearly 50,000 captives, but only one day of food and grass left, if it weren't for the outflanking team of Huyi, maybe tomorrow, this group of miscellaneous soldiers would take the initiative to go to Li Yunfei's camp to surrender as prisoners, these people were cleaned up by Liu Bei, some were unwilling to go outside the gate, some were too poor in discipline, and some were too weak......
"How can you move so fast?" When Li Yunfei arrived in a hurry, he found that the tiger had all been done.
"The lord that Liu Bei played a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, and the main force has already run away."
"Those captives were deliberately left behind by Liu Bei?"
"Exactly, the last general has already asked, then Liu Bei began to continuously send troops and horses to leave a few days ago, it should have gone to Guanwai, as for where he will go, these captives really don't know."
"This Liu Bei is really a thief enough, he actually threw a big burden to us, and ran out of the gate by himself!"
"Then are we still chasing?"
"Now I can't catch up, and there's no need to chase, so it's a good thing for Liu Bei to spread my Chinese civilization outside the border."
"And what should we do with these captives?"
"Staying in the barracks is obviously not appropriate and will add a lot of logistical burden. It's not good to let them go directly, because these people will become bandits who rob homes and houses, and it will be much more difficult for us to manage the place in the future. It can only be escorted to the rear, and it can only be used after receiving training and education, so as not to bring bad to the atmosphere of our army! ”
What makes Hu Yi a little depressed is that because the captive was captured by him, he has to be responsible for escorting the captive back to the south, fortunately, Li Yunfei still let him take 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and there is a big battle near Xuzhou that is about to be staged......
……
Every night after falling, Li Yunfei, who is used to sleeping late, will light the lamp and carefully make a plan for the future, since there is no wisdom against the sky, in this three kingdoms with many talents, of course, you need to make up for your clumsiness, whenever this time, Xiao Qiao always stays silently until Li Yunfei finishes the plan.
"General Liu Bei went to Guanwai, I heard that the Xianbei people are very cruel, so will Liu Bei go south to invade the Central Plains?" Seeing Li Yunfei put down the pen, Xiao Qiao said his thoughts.
"Well, if Liu Bei really dares to do this, I will personally cut off his head!" Li Yunfei replied very domineeringly, and continued: "But although Liu Bei is a thief, he shouldn't be able to do anything to bring foreign plagues to the Central Plains. ”
"And where are we going next?"
"Go to Wuhuan first, and then talk about it, that guy actually sent his son to attack our territory, and he must end his nest first!" The rest of the places are received by those subordinates one by one, and this Gongsun Du can be regarded as a hegemon, so it is better to grasp it by himself.
"Ah, the general is going to attack the place outside the pass, haven't you thought about the logistical pressure, this is a long way, and the consumption of our convoy to transport grain and grass will be bigger and bigger, and the Gongsun Du, who has occupied Liaodong for many years, is definitely not weak, and the consumption will be a little greater after the fight......" I thought it was just blocking the pass to prevent the enemy from going south, but I didn't expect Li Yunfei to take the initiative to attack, Xiao Qiao was really worried, she also read a lot of military books, this logistics support can't keep up, but when I saw trouble, especially the crossbow of the new army is powerful, However, the consumption is also very large.
"Why are you so nervous, come and sit down, and listen to me slowly!" Seeing that Xiao Qiao was very worried, he directly pulled the person into his arms.
"General, I'm serious, I counted the grain and grass sent today, and only seventy percent was left, and thirty percent of them were all consumed on the road." Although she was pulled into Li Yunfei's arms, Xiao Qiao still said very seriously, she is now in charge of logistics support, so she must remind Li Yunfei.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements...... Girl, have you heard of the naval base in Penglai? Looking at her nervous appearance, Li Yunfei finally stopped hiding it.
"Of course I've heard of the naval base, but it's only been a few months since it was built, and the navy hasn't formed combat effectiveness, and didn't the general say that the navy doesn't fight naval battles, and this attack on Wuhuan won't help...... Could it be that the general is ready to let the navy transport grain and grass? Little Joe suddenly thought about the feasibility of sea freight.
"It's so smart, in fact, let's go to Wuhuan, as long as we occupy a small place over there, and then directly ask the navy to send us supplies, the navy training is not long, but it's no problem to transport supplies!"
“…… It turned out that the general had been preparing for the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan more than half a year ago, and the slave family was really stupid. Little Joe suddenly realized.
"That's not it, I was just planning for the future, but I didn't expect to use it so soon!"
It will be very convenient to transport things from Penglai to the vicinity of Qinhuangdao, and it is the inland sea, and there is not much wind and waves, and the kind of small sea boat of more than two or three hundred tons that you get out is still very safe.
The current land transportation is indeed too inconvenient, and the efficiency of sea transportation will be dozens or more times higher than that of land transportation, and one ship is enough for 100,000 troops to eat for ten days and half a month.
"The general has no last resort, but the slave family has to continue to ramble, I hope the general is not to blame."
"No blame, no blame, what concerns do you still have, let me hear it?"
"General, although we had a bumper harvest of grain last year, but after so many refugees poured in, it was still quite tight, if the general went on an expedition outside the border, the consumption would inevitably be huge, would it cause a shortage of food in the territory?" Xiao Qiao's vision as a person of this era always has certain limitations, and now that Li Yunfei is officially hoarding grain within his sphere of influence, she knows a rough idea, there is a big war inside, and there is a big war in the south, which is very much a big war, and she is really a little worried.
"Xiao Qiao is really worried, in fact, when a large number of refugees went south, I also racked my brains to find a way to conjure up more food, and simply buying grain from the south is not a way, so after thinking about it for a long time, I finally found a new food source, as long as it is well developed, it can solve the rations of tens of millions of people."
“…… Is there such a good thing? ”
"Yes, in the endless sea, the food is not only fish, but also a huge amount of other food, such as the ...... with seaweed."
"Is it the kind of dark dish that the general used to make egg soup last time?"
"Yes!"
"Can that be eaten as a meal?"
"Of course, you can, but it will also be combined with other grains to make a nutritious dry food at the end of the year! And in the naval base in Penglai, this kind of dry food has been made, the taste is very good, crunchy and delicious, the nutrition is very balanced, and it is easy to eat......" Li Yunfei made himself out of a kind of multigrain biscuit and praised it.
“…… I'm really worried, general, am I too wordy? Little Joe said a little self-reproaching.
"Why, no matter what thoughts and concerns you have in the future, you must say it!"
"Am I not blowing the wind on my pillow?"
"Well, maybe, but I like ......"
"Thank you, the general is the best man in the world!" Xiao Qiao was very affectionate and lay on Li Yunfei's shoulder, and rubbed his face against Li Yunfei's face a few times.
"Of course, it's actually hard to find a man who is better than me!"
“…… General, is it possible to rest in the middle of the night? Although he said that he had been sharing the same bed for several days, and almost all the things he could and couldn't do were done, he was still a little shy every time he said it, and when he heard Xiao Qiao's call, Li Yunfei of course picked up someone and went to bed without saying a word.
