Only Jiang Feng himself understands how great the role of scouting will be, and countless classic examples in history have confirmed this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only by doing the intelligence work in greater detail before the war can you make targeted preparations and maximize efficiency; in this era of cold weapon warfare, a war is often just one or two unexpected factors that can lead to a difference in the outcome of the war.

Just like the battle when the ant thieves besieged the city, if he hadn't grasped the news of the ant thieves going south to Shouzhou in advance, and hadn't done a good job of bait in advance so that Han Baling couldn't refuse, maybe the Gushi Army would no longer exist in that battle.

In the short term, the Gushi Army cannot be promoted by leaps and bounds, and if the Gushi Army wants to win the advantage, then it must do its best in the best way it can be, and the construction of the intelligence system is the main direction of attack.

Wuwentang is the name that Jiang Feng chose for the future intelligence system team, named after the omniscient and obscure, not only to make the Gushi Army's future scouts all heard, but also to make this force obscure.

It is unimaginable to spend a strong and efficient scout team all the time, but it is worth it, of course, as far as the current situation of the Gushi Army is concerned, there is no need to fully blossom, it only needs to be focused on according to the strategic direction of the Gushi Army.

Shouzhou will be the top priority, and Nanyang, Caizhou, Huaibei, Huainan and Ehuang, which are close to each other, also need to pay close attention, and of course Daliang will not be an exception.

There are many things that keep Jiang Feng busy, the comprehensive reconstruction of the Gushi Army, the construction of the Gushi City Defense System, of course, the land inspection, and the difficult things ahead.

Standing on the tower of the city gate, Jiang Feng rubbed his temples and withdrew his gaze from the smoke outside the city gate.

Outside Gushi City, along the line of the city gate, many wooden huts and straw huts have been erected, and the smoke rising everywhere is that the porridge shacks are cooking porridge, and a group of homeless people with vegetables are consciously arranged neatly under the watchful eyes of the sergeants, waiting for their turn to serve their own porridge.

It's not going to be a good winter.

Especially outside the city, the howling north wind will make it difficult for many old and infirm people to survive this winter, and it is obviously difficult for this simple and dilapidated grass hut to withstand the cold snap.

But this is a helpless move.

Gushi City didn't dare to let people in anymore, the number of displaced people was too large.

At first, Gu Shi Cheng felt that it was a good time to recruit troops when so many war victims came, and it was good to catch up with Gu Shi Army to expand the army and select some hardcover men to enrich it, but soon Jiang Feng and Cui Shang couldn't laugh.

There were too many displaced people, which greatly exceeded their expectations, except for those from Shouzhou, more came from Yingzhou in the north.

According to common sense, these displaced people who were affected by the war should have crossed to Huoqiu and Anfeng to escape from the famine, but now Huoqiu is being besieged by ant thieves, and Anfeng has become the base of the ant thieves.

At the beginning, Gu Shi was in the idea of recruiting soldiers, and his enthusiastic attitude towards the homeless people also made the homeless people misunderstand Gushi's true thoughts, so that even the homeless people on Huoqiu's side began to run this way, which made Gushi realize that something was wrong.

Why is it that the number of displaced people is getting bigger and bigger, and it shows no signs of decreasing?

It wasn't until they arranged to make a detailed return among the displaced people that Jiang Feng, Cui Shang and Chen Wei reacted.

At this time, it was already a little too late, and the news that Gushi was very good to be homeless had spread all over the north and south of Huaishui, triggering a clustering effect that Gushi was completely unexpected.

Even some of the displaced people in Caizhou who couldn't survive this winter ran to Gushi, which also made Gushi panic.

If the victims of the ant thieves in the neighboring Yingshou three states all ran to Gushi this week, even if Gushi had a little autumn wind from Daliang, Nanyang and Huangzhou before, it would not be able to withstand the influx of so many displaced people.

The large number of displaced people has brought not only food pressure, but also public security pressure that Gushicheng cannot bear.

After initially accepting less than 10,000 displaced people, Gushi City could no longer accommodate new displaced people to enter, and later it could only build wooden sheds and straw huts along the north and south gates of Gushi City, and quickly formed a huge group of displaced people outside the north and south city gates, and the number of people also quickly swelled from the initial 10,000 or 20,000 to more than 50,000, and there is a trend of continuous growth, far beyond the capacity of Gushi.

As winter approaches, most of them will freeze to death and starve to death in the wilderness if they do not have food.

Among such a large number of displaced people, it is inevitable that there will be many rural scoundrels and prodigals, gathered outside this Gushi City, and there are many fights and riots every day, which makes the inspection of Gushi City also a headache.

Managing such a large group of displaced people, at least this winter, has become a difficult problem in Gushi.

Fortunately, Gushi now needs to invest in the construction of city defense, and there are a lot of manpower needs, dredging, widening, deepening the moat, moving and expanding the city wall, and even the renovation of the post road, all require a lot of manpower, but how to organize these people to avoid public security chaos caused by improper organization has also become a top priority.

Gu Shi lacked internal management talents in this area, but the Chen family had a disagreement with Jiang Feng because of the land inspection policy, and the children of the clan also intended to embarrass Jiang Feng, so they refused to send people to assist in management, which made Jiang Feng have to arrange soldiers to forcibly manage it, but the effect was not good, and there would be several fights every day, making a mess.

"Erlang, I have sent letters to a few friends in Daliang, I believe there will be a response soon, if it is not for the fact that I can't walk away here, I would prefer to go to Daliang, I believe that my personal appearance will have a better effect. ”

During this period of time, Cui Shang has lost a lot of weight, but his mental state is excellent, and indeed the taste of power is the best tonic, which is more effective than any panacea, even if there is only two or three hours of sleep time every day, but Cui Shang is already willing.

"Oh, I believe that the news that our Gushi Army repelled the Caizhou Army has already spread in Bianliang, and now that the battle between Daliang and Caizhou is raging, if we make some additional requests to Daliang, it won't be too much, right?" Jiang Feng asked with a long smile: "I believe that Lord Li He's words will be more recognized in the Chongzheng Yuan, isn't it?"

Cui Shang couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder San Lang was saying that this military commander has a natural businessman's heart, and he is calculating the gains and losses anytime and anywhere, although Gu Shi is indeed in need of support now, but it is easy to be disgusted to ask for assistance from Daliang like this.

Seeing that Cui Shang was a little disapproving, Jiang Feng could also understand that the scholars of this era still pay more attention to etiquette and self-esteem, and it is indeed a bit unpleasant to reflect everything through the calculation of interests like himself, especially the Liang is also Cui Shang's hometown.

"Bailing, you will become more and more aware of the difficulties of Gushi in the future, just like these two counties, the gentry are still competing with me, the Chen family and the Tan family have repeatedly expressed their opposition to the land inspection policy to me, and even Chen Wei's attitude has changed a little, such a big stall, what do you rely on to maintain?" Jiang Feng's tone was a little more depressed, "The morale of the army can only be maintained for a while by winning the battle, and the soldiers still have to see the benefits in the final analysis, without the benefits, who would be willing to fight with their lives?"

Cui Shang didn't speak, he could feel the pressure Jiang Feng was under right now.

The news from Shouzhou that the two counties of Shengtang and Huoshan have almost become white land, and the gentry have basically been swept away by the ant thieves, and all the grain in the city and countryside has been swept away by the ant thieves, and ordinary people can only follow the ant thieves if they want to survive this winter without being starved to death and freezing to death.

This is how the ant thieves create the homeless, coerce the homeless people to wander around like locusts, destroy everything, and make the family no longer have a foothold, when you don't even have the tenant farmers who serve the envoys, how can you call them the family family? This is the greatest power of the ant thieves, and it is also their purpose.

Now Gushi is feeling more and more intense pressure.

From the west of the Tang Dynasty, the number of displaced people from Yingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, and at first the Gushi Army was quite happy, thinking that it was a good opportunity for the Gushi Army to recruit troops, but now no matter who has realized it, recruiting troops is not a problem at all, even if you recruit tens of thousands of more people.

Tens of thousands of displaced people have flocked to the city, and what needs to be solved is the problem of surviving these people in winter.

For Jiang Feng, these tens of thousands of displaced people are actually a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.

Li is to recruit troops have a sufficient source of soldiers, and most of these refugees come from Yingzhou, Shouzhou, it is also a good time to set up a scout, Sheng Tang and Huoshan have become white land, these refugees can be driven to Sheng Tang and Huoshan after this winter, and they just become an excellent object for future envoys.

Although some money and grain have been obtained from Daliang, Nanyang, and Huangzhou, it is obviously unsustainable to supply so many hungry people to spend the winter, especially when the number of these displaced people will continue to grow as ant thieves rage in the three prefectures of Yingbo Shou in winter, grain will become the biggest problem.

Now can provide food support to Gushi, in addition to Gushi and Yincheng gentry can provide a small amount, only Daliang, Nanyang and Ehuang, but it takes a long time to transport grain from Daliang, and the consumption on the way is large.

The only best object that can be rescued is Nanyang, but the previous time I had already asked for a batch of money and food from Nanyang, and now I have to open my mouth again, especially Nanyang and Caizhou are now in a state of imminent shock, it is difficult to say. (To be continued.) )
