Zhuge Liang shook his head and said helplessly: "The Yumen Pass guard will send back a letter early, the Dawu Dynasty strictly prohibits grain from leaving the customs, presumably because he knows the predicament faced by my border army!" ”

"If you buy it, I'm afraid the price is unbearable!"

Cheng Meng and the others said anxiously: "Even if it's more expensive, it doesn't matter!" ”

"Buy it first, and then talk about it, and get through the winter! People must not be allowed to starve to death at home! ”

Seeing that the adjutant generals were arguing, Su Mo immediately said coldly: "The adjutant generals in the army are like shrews, and they are peaceful? ”

"How can the Dawu Dynasty sell us military rations?"

"Don't forget that the Jade Gate Pass is still in our hands!"

His words immediately woke up a group of lieutenant generals.

The Yumen Pass of the Dawu Dynasty is still in the hands of the border army, and the other party wishes that the border army would starve to death because of the grain, how could they sell the grain.

After contemplation, everyone really couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

What happened this winter was too magical for the border troops to be fully prepared.

The city has gone from six to sixteen!

The number of people also multiplied from two million to six hundred, a full triple.

In addition, the continuous battle, the border army expanded, and the military food reserves were also exhausted!

Now the border army is facing an extremely embarrassing situation.

Lack of food!

Everyone looked at Su Mo, intending to let him give him an idea.

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind!

"Option one, escort the caravan with the army, quickly go to the imperial capital to raise food, and reward 100,000 taels of gold!"

"Option two, go north to attack the Huns, feed the war with war, save food consumption in the army, give back to the people, and reward the magic weapon courage war drum!"

Looking at the choices given by the system, Su Mo began to weigh the pros and cons.

The advantage of choosing one is that there is no cost, you only need to organize a cavalry to rush to the imperial capital to raise food, and there will be 100,000 taels of gold after completion!

Again, there are great drawbacks to choosing one.

First of all, the distance, the border is half a month away from the imperial capital, not to mention, to the imperial capital, it also takes some time for grain merchants to transfer grain, which is the winter ration of millions of people on the border, and the amount is extremely exaggerated.

Even the largest grain merchant of the Great Zhou Dynasty will take some time to raise all of them!

Moreover, this year's Autumn Harvest Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty recruited troops, and the grain harvest in various places was not satisfactory, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was also a little self-conscious, so naturally it was impossible to sell so much grain.

On the whole, it is not an excellent choice to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to buy grain.

As for the second option, Su Mo was quite excited.

Go north to attack the Huns, and feed the war with war!

There were already a lot of prisoners recruited in the border army, and these people were originally the elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their combat power was undoubted.

It's just that the border army that Su Mo needs is an elite army that is united in order to enforce the ban!

These captives were used to being lazy before, and they were a little uncomfortable with many of the rules of the border army, and needed some battle reconciliation.

If they can go north to attack the Huns, they can not only wipe out the arrogance in the hearts of the captives, but also allow them to adapt to the rhythm of the border army faster!

The Xiongnu have endless grasslands, among which there are countless cattle and sheep!

If you can go north to attack the Huns, not to mention hitting the royal court, as long as you can take the territory of any prince, the cattle and sheep are enough for the border army soldiers to consume!

At that time, the military rations in the army can be supplied to the people and alleviate the food crisis!

The biggest factor in today's food crisis is that in winter, many barren fields in the border cannot be cultivated, so it is naturally impossible to sow food.

Even if Su Mo led everyone to find a number of new varieties of grain that could adapt to the environment and weather on the border, Su Mo would not be able to deal with the reclamation of wasteland at all after a series of wars this year.

The six border cities are also fully engaged in the war, and no one cares about these.

Because of the great victory, the border changed from six cities to sixteen cities!

The ten extra cities are all the border passes of the original Great Zhou Dynasty, and the conditions are extremely harsh, and the people in them need to rely on the six cities of the border army for supplies!

This also doubles the pressure on the border army!

Now there are two paths in front of Su Mo, one is to form a cavalry, rush to the imperial capital to buy grain, and reward 100,000 taels of gold!

One is to go north to attack the Huns, to nourish the war with war, and to reward the magic weapon courage war drum!

According to the system, this drum of courage can boost the morale of the army, so that ordinary soldiers can become fearless to death.

To a certain extent, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army!

For the Sumo border army, although 100,000 taels of gold is precious, it is not impossible to obtain.

It only takes a month to raise money.

This drum of courage is completely different!

The magic weapons given by the system are all priceless, enough to change the situation of the battle, and the previous Bagua Array has proved this.

Just relying on the Bagua Formation, countless complex and esoteric formations can be laid out, so that the enemy cannot get out of it, and thus be trapped alive.

The previous Great Zhou Dynasty's foundation division was wiped out by him like this, and there were already ever-changing formations in the formation, and different formations could still be connected to each other, and once they entered, they would never die.

Even the existence of the Great Grandmaster can't get out of the formation, and those heavenly and human realms can only rely on intuition to see where the door of death is, but they can't find the door of death!

Just a gossip array is so terrifying, what if you add the drums of courage and war?

He couldn't imagine the horror of these two magic weapons combined.

Just when Su Mo decided to choose to go north to attack the Xiongnu, the generals also discussed for a long time!

In general, there are two types of people.

The conservatives, led by Kong An and Zhuge Liang, felt that they should buy grain while opening up trade routes, and wait until next spring to make a decision!

Everyone thinks that the current food problem is just not easy to solve this winter.

When the trade routes open in the spring and grain merchants enter the border, all problems will be solved.

With the extra ten cities, reclaiming wasteland in them can also greatly improve the food problem, so there is no need to rush and start a war blindly!

The radicals, led by Zao Wou-Ki and Cheng Meng, felt that they should take the initiative.

Launched surprise attacks on the Dawu Dynasty, the Liyang Dynasty, the Xiongnu border and other places, and seized military rations from them!

Everyone felt that the border army was now strong and strong, and there was no need to act as cautiously as before, and the millions of troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were defeated by everyone, and the rest of the army was not an opponent.

Regarding everyone's idea of going to war, Zhuge Liang and others did not support it at all.

Everyone felt that the continuous war had hurt the border roots, and now it was time to recuperate and give the people a time to relieve!

The two sides are stubborn about whether to start a war or not, and no one can convince anyone!

In the end, everyone looked at Su Mo, intending to let him have an idea!
