However, even if there is a logistics system that is almost unhindered and extremely efficient, but from Taiyuan County to Dai County, you have to pass through several steep mountain roads along the way, even some official roads are in disrepair, and the grain that can be transported in at one time is also limited, and it is already the limit to be able to supply the 100,000 Qin troops, at least before the Qin State takes the old land of Zhongshan and opens up a new transportation route, this is the upper limit of logistics transportation.

Even if a large number of people were used to transport food through the air, they would not be able to save many people.

Zhang Ji paced back and forth, and finally slapped the table, with a little bloodshot in his eyes, and spit out four words: "Open the warehouse, release the grain!" ”

Yang Yu didn't speak, his face was hesitant, and Cheng Miao on the side had the intention to stop him, but he stopped talking.

"General......" Yang Yu's lowered head was raised slightly, and his eyes squinted slightly at Zhang Ji.

"Changshi thinks it's inappropriate?"

Zhang Ji smiled, but whether it was Yang Yu or Cheng Miao, they all knew that behind this smile was heavy pressure.

There was no military law in the Qin army that strictly forbade the distribution of military rations to the common people, but if the army suffered losses or even major defeats due to lack of food, it was inevitable that it would be impeached.

Impeaching Zhang Ji for no reason is naturally not afraid, and if the court dares to impeach him for no reason, the consequences will not be much better than offending Lu Buwei.

But if Zhang Ji's is indeed caught, then even if Yingzheng has the intention to defend it, he has to act in accordance with the law of the country.

In particular, it is not the Qin people who are relieved, but the generations!

If it was the people of Qin who were relieved, Yingzheng would have been able to deal with it flexibly, but if it wasn't for the Qin people...... And if he fails to win the two places of the Zhao Dynasty this time, it is not an exaggeration to impeach Zhang Ji for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

"I don't plan to persuade the general, the general is very human, and he should know better than the general that this may bring disaster to himself and the army, but the general still chooses to do so, so he must think that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"I just want to remind the general that since he wants to win over the hearts of the generations, it is better to simply do things to the end, visit the lonely elderly, and give medicine...... Collect the hearts of generations. ”

Zhang Ji patted Yang Yu's shoulder and didn't say much.

Yang Yu's words mean that he agrees with Zhang Ji's decision, and this also means that if the court asks for guilt in the future, Yang Yu, the soldier commander, will also bear part of the responsibility.

"General, Yang Changshi, you ...... Alas, that's fine. Cheng Miao sighed, the general and the commander of the army all agreed, even if he didn't agree, it wouldn't affect anything, and he pouted: "If Miao is removed from his post and dismissed, please also ask the general to accept Miao as a guest, so as not to let Miao starve to death in the wilderness." ”

"Hahaha, if you are really removed from office, I will definitely treat you as a guest."

……

With the cooperation of Yang Yu and Cheng Miao, this matter is naturally not difficult to handle, but the army still has a lot of complaints about distributing food to generations.

Li Xin, Qiang Qi, Meng Tian, Teng and Su Jiao naturally obeyed Zhang Ji's orders unconditionally, but the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers still had some complaints.

Qin and Zhao had a deep blood feud because of the wars over the years, especially the Battle of Changping.

The Zhao army suffered 450,000 casualties, and the Qin army also suffered many casualties, plus the people and the Pingming people who died of cold and discouragement due to the war, they would not vent their anger on their own country, but aimed the spearhead at the Zhao State as an enemy.

Among the 450,000 Zhao troops that year, many of them were border troops from Daidi, so Dairen was also on the list of resentment of the Qin people.

Maybe the parents or grandparents of these people under Zhang Ji died because of the Battle of Changping.

In addition, because of the opening of the warehouse, all the sergeants were given less food.

If there was a real shortage of food, it was not impossible for the soldiers who had been killed from the barbarian Qin to the tiger and wolf Qin to overcome the difficult conditions temporarily, but when the reason for the lack of food was that the food was distributed to the generations they hated, the soldiers could not help but complain.

However, Zhang Ji relied on his prestige in the army and his contribution to destroying the country, strongly suppressed the dissatisfaction and complaints in the army, and still firmly opened the warehouse to release grain, and ordered that no one was allowed to harass the people of Daijun, let alone take anything from the people.

There were four prisoners in the dead soldier camp who were not angry about distributing grain and grass to the people of Daijun, and stole the cattle of a peasant family to share food, and were ordered by Zhang Ji to be publicly beheaded at the city gate, and the four heads were hung on the four city gate towers of Daicheng to warn the rest of the Qin army soldiers and give an explanation to the people of Daijun.

Zhang Ji himself also promised that after the war, he would have people send two cows to the farmer as compensation, and he would also have people send 100 cows to the Daijun county government, which would be lent to the people for free as public property of the Daijun people.

Because of this incident, the army was shocked, and after the Qin army was stationed in Daijun, they suppressed bandits everywhere, and most of the cities did not leave anything behind, but at least they didn't need to worry about public security.

Later, Zhang Ji sent Cheng Miao to care for the people for him, close to the elderly, ask for the insufficiency, give medicine to the sick, and give food and clothing to the hungry and cold.

That is, Zhang Ji, who had the merit of destroying the country, suppressed these complaints with his prestige in the army, but this was not a long-term solution.

However, war is always the best means of deflecting contradictions.

When the news came that the 150,000-generation border army had gone north to return to the defense of the region, the resentment in the army automatically subsided as if it had never appeared.

The soldiers are not stupid, the 150,000 generations of soldiers from the border army pressed the border, if they complain about the situation at this time and affect Zhang Ji's command, then Zhang Ji will inevitably find a few typical military laws to engage in.

Moreover, if the army was defeated, they did not think that they would be able to cross the steep mountain road back to Taiyuan County and return to Qin State unharmed.

With the fear of the 150,000 generations of border troops, the Qin army only left 30,000 people to garrison in the cities of Dai County, and then gathered in the southern town of Dai County to confront the 150,000 generations of land border army.

70,000 against 150,000, less than 1 to 2 troops, to be honest, if it is a battlefield confrontation, Zhang Ji is not sure of victory.

Under Li Mu's training, coupled with the perennial experience of fighting with foreign races in the grassland, the border army was by no means weaker than the Qin army, and they missed their hometown, so they naturally fought to the death.

In terms of grain and grass, the Qin army was slightly short of grain and grass due to the behavior of opening warehouses and releasing grain, and could not fight a protracted war.

The two armies, which are already comparable, are a little frightened by the strengths of one and the other.

And when Zhang Ji stood on the head of the city and saw the mighty 150,000 generations of border troops, he was really shocked by the appearance of the border army.

Since ancient times, all elites, whether the sharpness of armor and weapons are secondary, and the most important point is the spirit of the soldiers.

An elite will exude an indescribable momentum, which is a kind of self-confidence and pride temperament combined with a strong physique and strong will to fight.

Whether it is the Yulin Army, the Mengjia Golden Fire Cavalry, Wang Qi's Pingyang Heavy Armored Army, or Wang Qian's Hundred Battle Armor-piercing Soldiers, even the 20,000 Dragon and Tiger Cavalry under Zhang Ji all have this kind of momentum.

Although the reputation and combat power of the border army are not as good as those mentioned above, it can be regarded as a strong army, but everyone looks haggard, looks spiritless, and their steps are a little vain, like a defeated army that has just suffered a heavy defeat and returned!

Zhang Ji was at a loss, not understanding what had happened?
