No one needs to say that Yao Yu knows the seriousness of the problem.

Shi Le had been guarding himself for a long time, and he still thought that 10,000 soldiers and horses could take Qiaojun.

Unexpectedly, this is just a trap set for myself.

Sure enough, Shi Le is indeed the great demon king of this era, and he can accurately predict his own operations.

This time, it's not easy to get it.

Thinking in his heart, Yao Yu gently pointed to his chin with his hand.

He did not speak, and the people did not dare to speak.

For a long time, Suo Hong was the first to speak: "Da Sima, what are we going to do next?" Both Yingchuan and Xuzhou have been affected by the war. The soldiers and horses who went out were trapped in Longkang again. Even if we wanted to send troops to support, we didn't have any extra food to spare. This battle is not good. ”

Yao Yu didn't know Suo Hong's thoughts. He just struggled with the fact that he didn't have any extra food in his hands. Otherwise, this time it would not have only mobilized 10,000 people to attack the county.

Laid down a small dragon Kang, but put the Northern Expeditionary Army in danger.

Although 10,000 people are less, Yao Yu didn't want to give Shi Le to do military merit alone.

Jiankang Capital City was initially decided, and Yao Yu didn't want to eat even one defeat. After all, the intention of sending troops was for him to cross Sima Ye's order. It's okay to win, but if you lose, it's your reputation that will be damaged.

"Tsk, this Shile doesn't know how to be a man at all. Obviously, he and Liu Yao agreed to jointly crusade against Jin Zhun, but as a result, they also deployed so many heavy troops south of the Yellow River. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Seeing that Yao Yu was still joking, everyone looked at each other with bitter expressions.

When is this time, don't be kidding. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the Northern Expeditionary Army on the Zu Ti front, the loss of prestige in the DPRK and China will be small, and Yao Xinquanyan's life will be big.

With this in mind, the class schedule was the first to admonish.

If it was on Yao Yu, who had just crossed over, he would be a little nervous, but at the moment, Yao Yu was calm.

He has already developed the ability of the superior to be happy and angry.

The so-called people who have thunder in their chests and face like a peaceful lake can worship as a general.

As the great general and army of the great Sima who has the sole power, how could Yao Yu be confused because of this incident?

I saw Yao Yu gently pointing at his head with his hand: "What are you panicking about." The second brother is trapped in Long Kang, and I don't worry about them. Why, you don't have faith in the second brother? Not to mention the second brother, even Zu Ti Quan Yan Wugu and these famous generals in the world are all there, and they are still afraid that Kui An will not be able to break the dragon? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help but want to say that now is not the time to say big things, no matter how good you say, it must be useful.

Just when everyone hesitated, Yao Yu made a decision: "After thinking about it, I will personally lead the troops to attack." ”

Everyone shouted: "Da Sima? Did you attack in person? ”

Yao Yu nodded: "I thought about it just now, even if Yao Xin and them retreat in this situation, give up Long Kang." Then, it will also be an irreparable blow to morale. If Kui An takes the opportunity to chase and kill. Maybe Jiujiang will fall. ”

The hearts of the people say that there is no food everywhere, and there is no sufficient capacity to supply the army for war.

Yong is straightforward and straightforward, and directly tells the reason.

Yao Yu smiled when he heard this: "What Brother Yong said is true, although it is said that our army currently does not have enough grain and grass to provide for the army. But don't forget. In our hands, at this time, we can at least gather and provide 30,000 troops, a month's worth of food and grass. Isn't that enough? ”

Everyone thought Yao Yu was a little crazy.

30,000 people, what is enough food and grass for a month?

Such a small amount of food is not enough to consume on the battlefield. Maybe it's still in the confrontation stage, and it's already been consumed.

If you're unlucky, you might not have enough food to get to the front.

Isn't it about grain and grass logistics?

is as strong as Zhuge Wuhou, how many times the Northern Expedition has been in vain, is it because of food?

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. That's why too.

With this in mind, everyone questioned it.

Yao Yu didn't talk nonsense, but tilted his head to look at everyone: "Then you say, what else can you do to ensure that you can support Long Kang and rescue the second brother Quan Yan?" ”

As soon as they asked this, everyone was silent again.

Who can do anything about this.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yao Yu snapped his fingers: "Okay, just do what I say." After I went to the front, all the administrative affairs in the city were handed over to the class Suo Hong. Yong, you are in charge of the military. Be careful not to make any mistakes. It's early June. In another day or two, the grain will be harvested everywhere. Second uncle, pass the order, this year's tax will be collected in advance, no matter what, it is the main thing to provide it to the front line first. You can't let the soldiers fight hungry, don't you say? ”

Yao Qing, as the secretary of the Duzhi Shangshu, controls the world's taxes, and nodded when he heard Yao Yu's arrangement, but he was still a little hesitant: "But Yu'er, you said before that Yangzhou and Xuzhou have been tired of war for many years, and the people have been displaced. In order to restore the economy, taxes were abolished in Yangzhou and Xuzhou for two years. If you want to requisition food, you have to transport it from Jingzhou. ”

Yao Qing is right about this.

After several years of development, Jingzhou has become rich and strong. At present, among the five states under Yao Yu, Yuzhou and Jiaozhou are barely self-sufficient, that is, one Jingzhou, which is responsible for supporting the daily expenses of the three states.

This is also why, Yao Yu has an army of 250,000 under his command, but there is not enough food and grass to provide him, so that he can better go on the expedition.

Otherwise, how could Yao Yu just send a small force to harass him in the previous raid on Qian County?

"Second uncle, you're right. But we can buy some food from the people and use it first. No matter what you say, we can't lose this time in the battle of Longkang. If they lose, the morale of the defenders in the Jiangbei area will suffer an immeasurable blow. At that time, it will not be so easy to control Jiangbei again. So, we have to win. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have enough money."

"That's okay, didn't Sima Rui leave ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry before. If these things outside the body are not used now, when will they be used? Let's take it first. Once we get through this battle, we'll be much easier. ”

After speaking, Yao Yu issued an order, ordering Shen Lin and Yao Gong to each lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, send troops from Lujiang Wu County, and join him in Hefei.

As for Yao Yu, he called Wang Xuance, Lu Bi, He Xiong and other generals to command the 20,000 cavalry in the city and send troops on a certain day.

···

In Longkang County, Quan Yan, who had just repelled a wave of Kui'an's offensive, wiped the water green gun in his hand with his shabby battle robe.

He was mentally exhausted.

Although the dispatch of troops was smooth at the beginning, Kui'an's reaction, no, it should be said that the reaction of these generals under Shi Le's command was too fast, and the support arrived in an instant. Directly let yourself fall into the encirclement.
