Compared with when they came, Huaishang's army was much slower when they returned, there was no way, there was too much loot, fortunately they also got enough cars to load, and the marching speed was only a little slower, but Wang Yue could imagine that when he passed Yindi, this speed would have to be reduced.

Because an army as a whole, its marching speed does not depend on the fastest group of people, but on the slowest group, including a large number of Jidi warriors and warriors to the Cheng army, which is undoubtedly this group of people, and at that time it is good to be able to walk thirty miles a day.

Fortunately, after Cai Guo's military vehicle was broken, it was not so easy for nearly 4,000 troops to go south to attack Jidi.

The army is like this, if its composition is a small number of people, a group of samurai, then it can be moved, it can be driven for one or two hundred miles a day, and there is no logistics at all, and it can be satisfied by hunting or something, but if there are many personnel, it will be different if there are as many as 400,000 people.

In this era, organizing so many people to go to war is not an easy job, just commanding and arranging the march of the army is troublesome, not to mention others, the most troublesome thing is logistics, 400,000 people eat the grain that the horses chew, that has to be transported from the rear by the people.

It can be said that the logistics line of the army must be extended accordingly, and the longer the logistics line, the more laborious it is to transport grain, and the more people need to participate in transporting grain, and even increase geometrically, and then the problem comes, the grain transportation is dependent on manpower to accumulate strength, and the number of slow movements is limited, not to mention, the people and the cattle and horses also have long mouths, and they have to eat part of the grain on the road, and they have to eat it on the return trip after transporting the grain. How far away, the biggest constraint is actually here.

As for the freedom to intersperse with hundreds of thousands of troops without logistics, if you can't rely on food to the enemy, you want to rely on hunting and supplies... That may be something that can only happen in the fairy world, there are so many beasts in the fairy world that you can't finish fighting, and you can refresh them when you kill them all... It can happen in heaven, where there is milk and honey everywhere.

After Cai Guo broke the capital this time, needless to say, the next target was the Huaishang coalition army that went north to occupy Jidi.

If it wants to go south to conquer the territory, it is very simple for the army to march south, but the logistics cannot do so.

First, the transfer distance from the elephant country is long, and the elephant country is not very peaceful, so the army and logistics have to be greatly adjusted at the same time, and this adjustment is simple to say, with the organizational and administrative efficiency of this era, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Wang Yue's army once again arrived at Yindi, the first stop of Jinshen.

This way, Wang Yue has been waiting for the black shadow to come again, but he seems to have disappeared from this world, or given up, and has never appeared again, but Wang Yue faintly feels that this person will never give up so simply, and will definitely appear again in the future.

At the same time, he also waited for Wen Li to vote, but it seemed that the aura of the king was not strong enough, and Wen Li did not appear.

Even so, he does not force it.

He did everything he should have done, he gave the opportunity he should have given, and even left a message in person, since he didn't come, what else did he say?

After arriving at Yindi, the army, together with the 20,000 garrisons that had been prepared by Yindi, the nearly 40,000 soldiers who surrendered to Cheng, and the 20,000 people, began to return eastward, and it took much more than twice the time they came, and finally arrived in Jixi on August 16.

Shen Dao, Zhao Wu and the five serpentine warriors led some of the teams that came from all over the country to greet them, of course, they were not only here to welcome Wang Yue's victorious return, but more importantly, the soldiers and people brought back by Wang Yue, these people had to be well settled after returning to Jidi.

"Childe, congratulations to Childe on his victorious return this time. As soon as he arrived, Zhao Wu came to congratulate him.

Wang Yue smiled: "Needless to say, these useless words need to be said first, you should arrange these soldiers and people first, let them return to their hometowns first, and then divide the land that should be given to them." ”

Then he said to the priest of Huaibo beside him: "General Chuanben ordered that the troops rest for a day in Jixi, and then leave for Jili tomorrow." ”

The priest of Huaibo went to give orders, the Huaishang army went to camp by himself, and the team brought by Shen Zhi also began to shout around, gathering and organizing the soldiers and people within the scope of their respective towns, and preparing to bring them back to Jidi for resettlement.

"Send all the soldiers back to their hometown?" Zhao Wu said suspiciously: "There are so many soldiers, many of them are the former standing army of Jidi, they have been trained, and they have also been on the battlefield, is it a pity to dismiss them all?"

Wang Yue said: "You can tell them to disperse first, these things, when they see their families, and divide the land, they can rest easy, and now that the Huaishang army is gathering in the land, for the time being, there is no need for too much military vehicle force in the territory, and we can also take this opportunity to sort out the government with all our might." ”

"As for the affairs of the army, we can put it back for a while, and wait for the administration to be straightened out first. After thinking about it, he said: "But this matter can be prepared and planned now, and in the future, I will come up with a charter according to the same as the Linan Manor, and then gradually implement it after the governance is straightened out." ”

After a pause, Wang Yue explained: "We are taking the line of elite soldiers, if the government is not straightened out, there is not so much money and food to support more strong soldiers." ”

Zhao Wu nodded, but he practiced the Wudang army in Linan Manor, of course, he knew what the army's salary and daily food consumption were.

It can be said that at least ten farmers have to farm the tax to support one of them, not including the weapons, armor and other equipment in their hands and all kinds of wear and tear, it can be said that there is not enough money and food, it is possible to build a small team of 10,000 people, and it is impossible to want more.

But obviously, the snake has to face a country like Cai Guo, how can a team of 10,000 people be enough.

After a brief conversation with Zhao Wu, Wang Yue asked Shen Dao about the current situation of governance in Jidi.

The governance of the land is not bad, the people of the land are all benefited by his rule, and everyone supports it, and the doctor of Ji Yi and the Ji family have long been thrown to the sky, which is undoubtedly a great thing, at least if it is replaced by other doctors, perhaps they have never been so supported in their own territory, but there are still many shortcomings, and the biggest deficiency is the lack of talents who can govern the government.

Although Zhao Wu has arranged for all localities to select and convene all kinds of useful local people as in the Linan Manor, there is an essential difference between today's Jidi and the Linan Manor, and the Linan Manor is only a manor, which is really not big, and it is naturally easy to manage.

In comparison, the land is too big now, and this situation is simply impossible to be like in Linan Manor.

Think about it, just like a small business, when there are only three or two people, the boss takes the lead in hard work, and the boss can correct the problems of employees at any time, but this enterprise is bigger, there are dozens or hundreds of people, the boss can still see everything, and deal with everything in person if there is a problem?

This requires not only a system, but also a large number of talented people who can do things and deal with problems.

A small business is like this, not to mention that Wang Yue's territory at this time is not as simple as a hundred or ten people, just in terms of population, there are as many as six or seven hundred thousand people, and in terms of population alone, it is nearly seventy or eighty times as much as that of Linan Manor, but does he have seventy or eighty Zhao Wu or Shiguang in his hands who can manage Linan Manor alone?

In this regard, no matter how strong Wang Yue's personal ability is, he has no choice but to take his time.

After all, the people of Linan Manor, in addition to receiving general education and living under the Linan Manor, are very familiar with the Linan model, and they only need to organize training one or two more to use it when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue sent his will a little to the snake four who were sent back to Linan when he left Huai, mobilized his body authority, and checked the progress.

After a moment, Wang Yue nodded.

Judging by the progress you get from the snake four.

The original literate people in Linan Manor, except for mathematics, other courses and whether they understand it or not, at least they have learned the same, and many people have copied all kinds of general knowledge as teaching materials, and have been arranged by Shiguang to be the teachers of the villagers.

Because the farmers were illiterate, it was very difficult for them to learn the literacy course, but in addition to mathematics, basic military training and some basic natural knowledge were easy to listen to the lectures according to the textbook.

Overall, the efficiency is okay, except for the basic math that is the slowest, but this is caused by his omission.

It was right for him to ask Shiguang to implement this matter, but Shiguang himself did not learn as much mathematics as general education, and he did not understand Arabic numerals, that is, after Snake Four returned to Linan Manor, he obtained this general knowledge from the broiler network, so he understood mathematics, and Linan Manor had a basic mathematics course.

From this point of view, he was really right when he said that he had to take half a year to apply for the people who came to Yan Linan Manor before they could be used preliminarily.

After communicating with Shen Dao, Zhao Wu and others, and arranging to deal with some affairs, Wang Yue still returned to the camp where the Huaishang army had been installed.

At present, the battle between the Huaishang coalition army and Cai Guo is the first.

When I arrived at the handsome tent, I heard the priest Huaibo say: "Son, I ask to see you in the south of the slave labor camp." ”

Wang Yue nodded slightly, and soon remembered that when he broke through Ji Nan and disposed of the Ji clan that day, he was the first to see through his intentions.

But isn't he the leader of the slave labor team?

Wang Yue immediately remembered that he was only the leader of the slave labor team at that time, but the Huaishang army occupied Sanyi one after another, except for a few Ji clan members who fled, most of the people, regardless of the large clan, the small sect and the side branches, everyone and their families of no less than 2,000 people were classified as slave laborers.

Nan Guo Chuwen, the leader of the slave labor team, also rose from the tide to the head of the battalion.

But at this time, what did Nan Guo Chuwen do when he came to him? Could it be that something was wrong with the Ji clan in the slave labor camp?

"Pass him in. (To be continued.) )
