Chapter 39: How to feed 100,000 people

This matter was a test of how Cao Ang dealt with the emergency, and he didn't ask Jia Xu at the first time.

At this time, Zhang Yun was still stunned, and Cao Ang turned around to ask Jia Xu, and saw Jia Xu standing calmly behind.

"Sir, what should I do with this matter?"

"Childe did the right thing, this incident will be handled by Childe alone for the time being, how about it?"

"Sir, this is no joke, I've never been in any way like this."

"It's okay, don't worry, son, if there is something wrong, the old man will say."

This is to let Cao Ang try it himself, and he will never get much progress by asking others, anyway, Jia Xu thinks that Cao Ang has handled it well, so it is better to let him try to deal with it himself.

Seeing that Cao Ang was still stunned, he said, "As long as you deal with it properly, everything can be solved." ”

"This is the grain and grass of the 100,000 army, is there a solution to this?"

"Naturally, everything has a solution, but it hasn't been discovered yet, why don't you give it a try."

Looking at Jia Xu's calm smile, Cao Ang still didn't dare to start, can this really be solved so easily?

100,000 troops, where to get the grain and grass, and then turn around and let Cao Cao send it, so as not to be questioned.

He has to make enough capital in this battle, and he can't go wrong here.

If you ask Cao Cao for another batch of grain and grass, it will take time to raise it yourself, and I don't know if it can be sustained.

Even if he can be transferred urgently, Cao Cao will have an opinion, and this big man's temper will not be small.

Don't look at Cao Cao's words a long time ago, he is bent on Cao Ang coming back, but family affection is family affection, and military affairs cannot be compared.

Even if he is supported by this eldest son, Cao Cao does not blame him, and when he looks back, he will feel that Cao Ang is incompetent, and it will be difficult to become the son of the world in the end, and if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are put on the throne, Cao Ang will definitely be worried.

Cao Ang didn't want to hope for the kindness of others, it was too passive.

"Sir, if I ask my father to send me grain and grass again, most of this credit will be ruined."

"Then the son doesn't have to turn to the prime minister, can he solve it?"

Solve it yourself?

What are you kidding, Cao Ang has indeed had a small family in the past eleven years, but he can't feed 100,000 people!

What scale is this? The military affairs of 100,000 people at every turn are not something that ordinary local tyrants can support.

Cao Ang looked up again, and behind the tent was the Yangtze River, and from here it was the other side of the river......

"Sir, how many days of grass are left in the camp?"

"It can last about a long time, and if the supply is tighter, it can be extended."

"No, it's available as usual!"

Jia Xu helps manage logistics, and he knows all the grain and grass.

If Cao Cao re-raises these grains and grasses and sends them over, even if they are not robbed again, there will not be enough time.

For an army that has no loyalty at all, a hungry stomach can explode mentally.

Cao Ang was not sure about them, so he could only guarantee that his eighteen men were loyal.

Therefore, no one can detect that something is wrong, and the whole army must block the news, and the news of the looting of grain and grass must not be transmitted to the army!

"Zhang Yun, do you know what to do?"

"Eldest prince, please also make it clear that if there are subordinates who can do it, they will go to the soup!"

"There's no need to go to the soup and the fire, block the news, something happened to you, and this matter can't be spread to the barracks!"

"Ah......h The subordinates understand how to punish them, and the subordinates are at their disposal! ”

Cao Ang shook his head: "Send you down, now is not the time, let's do these things first, this is your chance to atone for your sins." ”

Zhang Yun immediately saluted and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Then, too, he went out with his men, apparently knowing what to do.

Cao Ang wants to block the news, and before the news leaks, Zhang Yun will be fine.

If he is to be executed, he will definitely increase his efforts and will not let the news leak out.

Therefore, the safest person to block the news is Zhang Yun, and let him atone for his sins.

And what about Cao Ang...... He wants to solve this crisis, 100,000 people of food and grass!

I have to say that this is the biggest thing that Cao Ang has encountered in his two lives, and this is the most serious crisis.

He never thought that he would one day worry about the food of 100,000 people, and now he is starting to be irritable, but it is conceivable that if he does this world in the future and takes over everything from Cao Cao, it will be even more troublesome.

Otherwise...... It's okay if you don't do it in this life!

But it's all here, Cao Ang doesn't do it now, Cao Cao will still give him a chance, and he is still a thorn in the side of the two brothers.

How can the 100,000 people be fed?

At this time, Cai Mao's warship also returned.

As soon as the ship docked at the temporary wharf, Cai Mao immediately came to report.

"The eldest prince, there are more troops on the other side, and there are about two thousand new soldiers, and their total number has reached eight thousand!"

Cai Mao frowned and said, "Although these eight thousand are not all elites, it is still difficult to attack, it is not easy to fight at this time, and we need manpower to build a water village." ”

He thought that Cao Ang was bent on fighting, but if he fought now, the army would be overstretched.

Don't look at the 100,000, if you start the whole body, the whole project will stop, which will affect Cao Cao's progress.

"What, eight thousand?"

"Right...... The eldest son, if you really want to fight, it may not be impossible to plan. ”

Cai Mao saw Cao Ang's "tempting" appearance and thought that he wanted this credit.

Now Cao Ang is the only hope for him and Zhang Yun, and if you want to settle down, you have to coax Cao Ang.

So if Cao Ang has to fight, Cai Mao will do his best, in fact, it's not that he can't fight, but he has to bear some losses.

"No, no."

Cao Ang shook his head, and didn't look at Cai Mao, only looked at the other side.

Thinking of Jia Xu's previous strategy, he kept forcing Lu Meng on the other side of the bank, so that Jiangdong continued to increase his troops, which is useful here.

There are more soldiers on the other side, and there is naturally more grain and grass.

Therefore, in Cao Ang's view, at this time, the other side of the strait is not 8,000 people, but the grain and grass that supplies 8,000 people!

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the troops to go out with only ten days and half a month of grain and grass, which has a specific mission, and Lu Meng, who is on the other side of the river, does not have an attack mission, but is just stationed here to fight Cao Ang.

Therefore, the food and grass for their 8,000 people should be enough for 100,000 people on Cao Ang's side for ten days and half a month.

At the moment, there were only them, and Cao Ang really couldn't think of where there was so much grain and grass.

"Eldest son, don't fight...... Can we take some of our ships back? ”

"No, the pressure still has to be given, you go in with me."

Cao Ang had a general idea, and said to Jia Xu, "Sir, let's discuss it again." ”

The current situation is a bit critical, but it can't be solved, the nearest grain and grass is on the other side, even if there is not much, it is enough for Cao Ang to relieve for a while, maybe there will be a way at that time.

If there is really no way, you can also leave enough time for Cao Cao to raise grain and grass.

At least ensure that there are no major problems in the future, even if you don't make meritorious contributions, you can't mess up.

Cao Ang can only be realistic, these 100,000 people are in chaos, the consequences are very serious, Cao Ang didn't feel anything when he fought on the battlefield, he didn't have this Holy Mother's heart.

But if you mess up and the soldiers die in vain, it will be a pity.
