Early morning on August 6th.

Jiashi didn't say much, but only informed the captains of several auxiliary legions of the final location of their arrival.

No one doubted the purpose of Jiashi, and everyone thought it was just a routine combat training.

In the past few years, it was not for nothing that the Ambrizette Valley was crossed.

After all, the imaginary enemies of the province are the five kingdoms in the south, and if they want to attack the five kingdoms, they must cross the Ambrizette Valley.

This Ambrizette Valley is the road between the cities of Ellev and Ginia.

The reason why this road is difficult to follow is that it is a combination of intermittent valleys.

This road is naturally impossible to take under a state of war, and as long as the opposing side blocks one side at will, it is basically all over.

But in this situation, there is no problem, after all, this valley is still close to the border of the empire, and the five kingdoms do not dare to come over at this time.

The reason why the provincial army chose to take this road is the best choice after combining security, marching time, and consumption.

......

On the school ground, Saga and Jiashi watched as the 34th Legion and the two auxiliary legions, totaling 15,000 people, divided into fifteen thousand teams, slowly walked towards the outside of Blago City.

"The Governor has sent a letter to the lord of Ellev City, asking him to prepare the logistics for the army to go to training. Saga said to Kashi.

"Gao!" Jia Shi was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "This will definitely weaken the vigilance of the Ellev family." ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have that. Zachar was not impressed.

"It is the custom of the empire for a large army to cross the border, and it is customary for the nearby cities to provide food and grass, and it is wrong not to let them provide it. ”

"And, after all, it's a hassle to get food from Blago. The main thing is that the army has to eat a lot when it is on the road. ”

"You think, the army will go from Blago City to Ellev City, and go through the Ambrizette Valley, about ten days, and then reach the vicinity of Ellev City, and you will have to rest for a day or two. I will give you three days to siege the city, and all this adds up to fifteen days of food and grass. ”

Saga sighed slightly, "There is still some money in Blago Province, but sometimes food is really not something that can be bought with money. ”

"Especially if the empire wants to use troops in the west, there is more food needed there, and the large grain merchants in the private sector are estimated to keep all the grain in their hands for the western army of the empire. ”

Jia Shi asked with some doubts: "Shaojun, even if the empire uses 300,000 or even 400,000 troops in the western border, it is impossible to buy the entire grain of the people, right?"

"Of course not, but you can't count it that way. Sagar said.

"First and foremost, we don't know how long the Empire will be in the West, but we can guess that this is another battle that will drag on for a long time. ”

Jia Shi nodded slightly: "According to the history of the empire's previous use of troops in the western border, this is indeed the case. ”

Every time the Emerald Empire used troops in the western border, it was basically a heavy battle between the two sides, and then a series of small battles, ranging in size from hundreds to thousands of people.

Then there is another large-scale battle, and so on, until the two sides beat each other to death in a large-scale battle, and the battle is over.

The reason for all this is, of course, the endless plains of the western border, in which no bullshit tactics work.

Everyone does what they see, and if they don't see it, they continue to look for the enemy.

In short, the battle in the western realm is very time-consuming, so the consumption of food is naturally huge.

"So the grain merchants would rather save up their grain and sell it to the army of the West than sell it to us. ”

"Then we can buy it at a higher price!"

"And how high is the price? The cost of coming to Blago Province is the highest among the provinces of the Empire, so should the province pay this fee in advance?" asked Saga rhetorically.

"Don't talk about other grain merchants, even if they are under the family, although they will come to Blago Province with grain merchants from far and wide as soon as I give the order, I will not do that. ”

"Jiashi, you have to remember that when you are not in despair, you must not do things that harm yourself and benefit the world. Zachar admonished solemnly.

"If you want to be a saint, you have to be His Majesty the Emperor, the Pope, and the senior senator. Because they are the empire, they have that responsibility. ”

"But we can't, I always tell you, take a long-term view, don't be limited by what is in the family. But you also have to remember one thing, that is, the family is your basic disk, and you must maintain his interests, at least not let his interests be harmed. ”

"Otherwise, under the backlash of the family, if you want to go down, it will be very difficult. ”

"Back then, I made your Nuchers family spit out a lot of benefits, and there must be people in your family who are not satisfied. Zachar turned to last year's events.

"Yes, Shaojun. Jiashi didn't deny it, after all, this is a normal thing, "But the minister has already taken care of them as soon as possible." ”

"Do you know why this happened?" asked Zachar.

"Short-sighted?" replied Kashi with a frown.

"That's not it, in fact, they rebel against you because they have a long-term vision. Saga said with a smile.

"Hmm, why is that?" "Jiashi was really a little puzzled now.

"It's very simple, what did you get in exchange for that amount of money in the first place?" said Sachar, "an amnesty, and my friendship with you. ”

"Or the friendship of your line, there is no doubt that your line is about to take off. But think about it, when you take off, who will you carry?" asked Saga with a smile.

"It's the minister's brothers and sisters, and there are one or two veins that are closest to each other. "Jiashi kind of understood.

"That's the key, there's a limit to the number of people you can carry. ”

"The final result is that you use the resources of the entire family, and in the end you only use it on your own line. ”

"The other veins are all lost in vain, and they see the future, they don't see themselves getting anything in return, but because of this bleeding, they gradually decline. ”

"You say, how can they not rebel against you?" said Sagar, chuckling softly at the end.

"I see!" said Jiashi with some emotion.

At this time, the importance of public assets can be seen. Saga said softly, "We must use the reserves of the province of Blago." ”

"Going to the Elven Kingdom in large quantities to buy food, this is the only way so far. ”

Jiashi was still stunned by Zaga's words earlier, and here Saga had already begun to say that he was going to the elven kingdom to buy food.

Still, he reacted quickly.

"The minister will immediately hand it over to his subordinates, and there are professional talents in this area in the minister's family. ”

"Well, I'm relieved to leave it to you. Saga gently patted Jiashi on the shoulder and pointed forward, "Let's go too." ”
