Previous Chapter: Chapter 642 Cheongju City BreaksNext Chapter: Chapter 644 Nanping City
There are several large grain-producing towns in the Central Plains mainland, Nanping is counted as one, this is a high-yield rice area, if this is controlled, in addition to Qingzhou and Fuhugang, Xuanbing's grain and grass will not be a problem!
Despite the ironclad transfiguration technique, the army is not starving. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info, the latest chapter access:. However, there are a lot of limitations, and unlike other troops, the more the Xuan army fights, the more people are beaten, the demand for rations is getting bigger and bigger!
The greater the demand, the more aura will be needed, and even if a person stays in the enchantment and works all night, it will be more and more difficult to supply the food and drink of the entire army, so the top priority is to occupy some grain-producing towns and keep the grain in the hands of the Xuan army before Yinhu's autumn expedition!
Thinking of this problem, Xiaobao and Shi Wuce also nodded, Xuanjun really has to take precautions now, fighting a war is food, if this problem is not solved, the army's morale will not be stable!
The people who escaped from Qingzhou City came back, and the Xuanjun army's stock of grain was enough to eat, so they opened a warehouse in Fuhugang to release grain, and even the people of Qingzhou received some food, although it was not a lot, but it was enough for them to eat for a few days.
As long as there is no war, we will be able to make ends meet and trade will circulate, and there will be no more starvation deaths! Revitalizing the economy is a relatively slow process, and in addition, Cheongju and Fuhugang are located in the border areas, and it is inconvenient to have "transportation," and it may take a long time to recover.
However, there is also an advantage here, that is, the area is vast! Sand control and afforestation, and reclaim barren land, after three or five years, this place can also be as rich as Nanping!
Tomorrow is the day when the army will depart. 200,000 Xuan soldiers advanced forward for 100 miles, and then sent 200,000 to attack Nanping! Panda direction four towns Yin soldiers assembled, there was a garrison in Nanping requisitioned over, so now Nanping is empty in defense, Yin Hu never dreamed that the Xuan army would bypass Huoyun Mountain and march towards Nanping!
In fact, this is a dangerous move, and it is a game that is caught off guard, if the Yin army reacts quickly, it will sandwich the 200,000 Xuan army in Nanping, and it will not be easy to 'withdraw' at that time!
Fighting a war is a risk, there is no 100% sure victory in the battle, just like the Tiger Courage Army fighting Qingzhou, in the case of the absolute superiority of the troops, it is also a great price to pay, before adopting the siege plan of Baisheng!
Therefore, Xiaobao felt that this risk was worth taking, because once Nanping was really defeated, the significance was very far-reaching, not to mention solving the problem of grain and grass, and stabilizing Qingzhou!
It was not early, everyone had already returned to their respective tents, and was about to sleep, when Shi Wuce's voice came from outside the king's tent: "Is the emperor asleep?"
At this time, the military advisor came, it must be an important thing! Xiaobao hurriedly got dressed, told Tie Yi and Danniang to sleep first, and walked out of the tent 'door', Shi Wuce hurriedly came over and handed Xiaobao a piece of rice paper. "This is the flying pigeon biography I just received, and it came from the direction of Nanping!"
As soon as Nanping wanted to attack here, the Xuan soldiers had already taken the lead? Xiaobao took the scroll of paper and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly! There were only four words on it: "Red and South!"
Now Xiaobao already knows that the Red Queen is the Yuanbao Miracle Doctor! The Red Queen Falling South is the Red Queen Falling into Trouble, and the location is in Nanping!
Yu Xuan took away the ingots and the red-robed gods, and instead of returning to Kyoto, he went to Nanping? What did he do there? If he wanted to go back to Kyoto, he would go directly to the lotus 'flower' crossing, and then go back to Kyoto was the nearest way.
In this way, the news was sent by the master's mother-in-law! She was tracking the whereabouts of the red-robed god with a few Xuanbing brothers, and it seemed that she already had an eyebrow!
No wonder Xiaobao has searched all over Fuhugang this month, and even Huoyun Mountain has been to several times, but no trace of her has been found, and she has entered the hinterland of the Central Plains for a long time!
That's just right, anyway, I'm going to Nanping, take this opportunity to meet with my wife and rescue the ingots and the red-robed gods!
It is about two days and two nights from Fuhugang to Nanping, of course, this refers to the carriage and horse, if you ride the red rainbow flowing clouds, it will be much faster, and it should arrive early tomorrow morning!
Xiaobao put away the paper roll and said to Shi Wuce: "No need to reply to the letter, I will leave tonight, once the news leaks out, it will not be good for our Xuanjun!"
Shi Wuce nodded, and said to Xiaobao: "It's okay for the emperor to go first, once the Xuanjun army appears, Nanping will definitely close the city, and it will take more effort to enter the city at that time!
It's good to have this guy here! He is full of experience in attacking the city and plundering the pool, Xiaobao and Xianyang have already discussed, and when Nanping is defeated, let this guy sit back as a general, start with the school general, and gradually let him rise, otherwise give him a big general in one breath, this guy will become lazy, and go to play chess all day long, he is like this back then, and he can't let him repeat the mistakes of the past!
When I returned to the tent, I was thinking about how to resign with the second 'girl', but I saw that the two of them were already dressed and looked at him with their lips pouting, it was obvious that they were going to go with him!
Xiaobao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to explain them, but Tie Yi took his hand and said, "You set up an enchantment for me now, I will prepare enough food and grass, and I will follow you whatever you say this time!"
Danniang next to her also snorted and said: "The apprentices of the Seven Holy Masters are here, I am already redundant here, the Yuanbao Divine Doctor has 'befriended' me, knowing her whereabouts, if I don't go to help save people, my conscience will be disturbed!"
Seeing that the two girls were more resolute than the other, and their little faces were full of oil and salt, Xiaobao smiled bitterly, knowing that it was useless to persuade again, so he had to agree, and asked Danniang to notify the ground kite, and then went to the open space outside the camp tent with iron will, and set up the enchantment.
After waiting for an hour to come out of the enchantment, there were already mountains of grain and grass outside the barracks, and a group of people had already been waiting outside, and the big mouth of the earth kite actually informed all the guards of the shrine that Xiaobao was going to Nanping!
Looking at Xiao Bao's almost fire-breathing eyes, the earth kite begged Xiao Bao for mercy with a dark eye circle and a sad face: "Emperor Zun, don't blame! If I don't say it, they will 'break' my wings, and they will pick my skin, I can't beat so much!"
Tu Die'er looked at Xiaobao angrily and said, "Emperor Zun, we are the Divine Palace Guard, not the General Guard! What are you keeping us doing in the barracks? Our duty is to defend the Divine Palace and defend the Emperor, where you go, we have to follow!"
"That's right!" the others chimed in. Yu Xiaofen pointed to his nose and said to Xiaobao: "Emperor, I don't care if you take them or not, you have to take me! Just by this handsome face, you know that I am your indispensable helper, the key to success! I..."
Before he finished speaking, Leng Guang slapped him aside, You Yuan stretched out his 'legs' and tripped, stumbling Yu Xiaofen into the mud, and then the two stood in front of Xiaobao together, Leng Guang 'touched' his head and said: "I can't speak, anyway, I've been here with you from Yunzhou, you don't take me, I'm following behind!"
As soon as the others wanted to speak, Ye Xiaoxuan beckoned, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, if you want to go, go and go, what are you doing with so much nonsense! Earth kite, you go and call the fairy sheep, let him put all this grain away, and the rest of the people go to prepare the horses and set off immediately!"
All the people cheered, and they all went to the stables to bring out their horses. Xianyang has called a team of Xuan soldiers to stretch wooden sheds on the grain and grass to avoid rain and dampness.
"Emperor, look at it!" Xiao Bao was about to leave, but the fairy sheep standing next to the grain pile stopped him. Xiaobao walked over to take a look, the fairy sheep was holding a handful of rice in his hand, his face was a little black, Xiaobao frowned, and also pinched a handful, twisted it lightly with his hand, and then put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and said with a wry smile: "This is Chen rice!"
The fairy sheep smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, but it's a good thing!"
"A good thing?" Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and then understood Xianyang's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Transfiguration is a kind of spiritual skill of stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, as long as there is the grain and grass of the Yin army in hand, the Xuan army will not worry about eating and drinking, of course, this refers to the situation of the Yin army's abundant food and grass!
In other words, the Yin Dynasty is now not only supporting its own army, but also unknowingly supporting the nearly 500,000 Xuan army!
Now that stale rice has appeared in the grain and grass, it means that the Yin army's grain and grass reserves are already insufficient! This will produce a series of reactions, and the Yin army has adopted the policy of forcibly requisitioning more than one grain and storing grain in the state treasury. The advantage of this is that it does not guard the local influence, no matter where the war is fought, even if the local poor cannot open the pot, the Yin army directly transfers grain from the treasury and does not have to worry about food and drink!
The disadvantage is that once the treasury runs out of food, then the entire Yin army will also run out of food, and they can't collect much grain if they want to temporarily collect it, because they have already squeezed the people dry, and they really can't take out the excess grain!
Now that the Yin army has eaten old rice, it means that the treasury will be empty, and the entire Yin army will face the danger of running out of food, which is an opportunity to shake the heart of the entire Yin army!
However, the Yin army has run out of food, which means that the Xuan army will also be hungry! Fortunately, the Xuan army still has a way to retreat, and has not collected grain from Xianji and the five towns in the southwest.
Even if you don't use the transmogrification technique, there is still a master of alchemy like bean sprouts, and you are not afraid of running out of money to 'spend'!
Xiao Bao nodded, and said to Xianyang with a smile: "When Nanping meets the division, let's just eat empty Yinhu's granary and see what he eats for the army!
The two looked at each other and laughed, seeing that the guards of the Divine Palace had already led the horses, Xiaobao also said goodbye to the fairy sheep, took everyone on the horse, and went straight to Nanping!
With a lot of people, the journey is slow, and it can be arrived the next morning, so it will take at least one day and one night for everyone to arrive!
From Fuhugang to Nanping, you have to bypass Huoyun Mountain and go all the way to the northeast. The road is not smooth, the ground is full of erupted volcanic rocks, such a terrain is not suitable for even crops!
Seeing the melancholy look on Xiaobao's face, Tie Yi and Danniang asked him with some concern: "What's wrong?"
Xiaobao sighed, pointed to his feet, and said to the second 'woman': "Even if we occupy Fuhugang, with such a terrain, it is not suitable for expanding the city at all, and we will not be able to afford too many garrisons!"
