Chapter 426: Painstaking management
In the afternoon, a 5,000-strong army of the Great Barbarian Clan slowly walked out of the Panlong Valley, all of them were hungry and thin, this is the "advance team" sent by the patriarch, the old fox, in fact, it is also a team used to test Lin Muyu's faith, this advance team will be the first to settle down in the endless forest, and then the Great Barbarian God will lead the remaining nearly 20,000 people out of the Panlong Valley, but before that, Lin Muyu will be responsible for the food and clothing of all the barbarian warriors.
......
The breeze was blowing in the forest, blowing the white royal forest cloak, Lin Muyu was riding on the war horse with his hand on the hilt of his sword, walking side by side with Tang Xiaoxi, and on the side was defending the enemy. Situ Sen led 10,000 heavy cavalry of the gentian battalion to guard the side, they will escort 5,000 barbarian warriors to settle in the endless forest, and they are still in the no-man's land in the jungle, and they can't live too close to the demon clan, so Lin Muyu arranged them in the jungle clearing between the demon clan and the Zhenguo army, which is suitable for planting, and under the vision of the Zhenguo army, once there is any change in the big barbarian clan, the Zhenguo army can take a sanction strategy as soon as possible.
This battle of conquest has nothing to do with justice, it is just about using each other, and Lin Muyu and the Great Barbarian God are very clear.
The army in the Demon Suppression Pass sent tents and a small amount of food, and the first thing to do was to give these barbarian warriors a place to live.
Lin Muyu rode his horse to the clearing, which was full of deep forests with shade of trees, which could shelter from the wind and rain, while the open space in the distance was mostly mud and few rocks, suitable for farming.
"The station is located in the jungle, and then collecting more small pieces of potatoes and planting potatoes in the sunny open space on the right should help them settle and reproduce here quickly. Lin Muyu said confidently.
Situ Sen smiled slightly: "Commander, this barbarian tribe's marching army is all men, not a single woman, and it is probably impossible to reproduce." ”
"It doesn't matter, once settled, the Great Barbarian God will naturally arrange for people to migrate the distant barbarian tribes and let them come to the empire to multiply together. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”
"Is Xiaotang's grain transport team here?"
"It's coming, it's going to be before dusk. ”
"Well, that's great..."
Lin Muyu was worried, the biggest problem since he came to the Endless Forest was food, his mind was almost full of food, food, food, and he was about to be driven crazy by what he ate. The household department can send about 200,000 catties of food every day, but it is far from being able to supply the food of the 200,000 army, especially after the barbarian tribe decides to surrender, the food consumption of each barbarian tribe's young warrior is equivalent to three human soldiers, which is not an ordinary eat, so that Lin Muyu must consider the rations of nearly 300,000 troops in the endless forest, plus the civilians of the demon clan who have lost their food sources, the daily consumption of food is at least 700,000 catties or more...
At dusk, Wei Qiu walked over with a piece of paper and said, "Miss Xiaotang sent a feather book, and the grain transportation team from Lanyan City is only ten miles away from us..."
"Okay, come with me over and greet you. ”
"Yes..."
The endless forest is not peaceful, although Tang Xiaoxi is nominally the master of the demon clan, it does not mean that every little demon obeys her orders, so there are often some cases of wild snake people and lizardmen sneaking up on the human army's food transport team, and there have been a few cases a few days ago.
The Gentian Battalion rode away under the leadership of Lin Muyu, and when they greeted seven or eight miles, they saw a convoy in the distance marching with difficulty on the winding woodland road, fluttering flags, all of which were the flags of the Imperial Purple Flower Chamber of Commerce, and were escorted by the temple guards, about 50+ people, and the one who greeted him was still relatively familiar, it was Zhou Yao, one of the temple deacons...
Zhou Yaoce immediately stepped forward, respectfully hugged his fists and said, "Archdeacon, my subordinates are here to transport grain..."
Lin Muyu was overjoyed: "Deacon Zhou has worked hard, this time...... How much food did you ship?"
"We used big carts to ship, 2,000 catties per cart, a total of 300 carts, a total of 600,000 catties of grain, Miss Xiaotang is almost about to put down the business of the business in order to raise food, but if this batch of grain can help the archdeacon, then we will not be busy in vain. ”
Zhou Yao said piously: "Archdeacon, the life of the people of Lanyan City is not easy, we really can't raise more food, Miss Xiaotang said, today's first batch is 600,000 catties, and ...... It can only keep raising about 200,000 grains a day to be delivered, not to mention the huge amount of manpower. ”
Lin Muyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's really hard for you, let's go, send these grains to the camp, and then distribute them." ”
Wei Qiu nodded happily.
Situ Sen frowned and said, "Commander, with all due respect to his subordinates, so much food is still not enough to eat." ”
"I know. From today onwards, the food of all the people will be halved, anyway, the war in the Endless Forest is over, the training intensity will be halved, everyone will eat a little less, and it will be good to survive this time. ”
Situ Sen clenched his fists and said, "Commander, in fact, there is another way for his subordinates. ”
"Oh, what's the solution?" Lin Muyu's eyes lit up.
The corners of Situ Sen's mouth raised, and he said, "It's just that this method may be a bit extreme, and it may also violate the imperial military law." ”
"It's okay, you say. ”
"My subordinates are quite familiar with the eyes and ears in the area of Lanyan City, and they are very well-informed, so I know that there are many bandits hidden in the mountains around Zhenyouguan, these bandits do all kinds of evil on weekdays, and often loot the people in all directions, and the food hoarded on the mountains is not a little bit, hum...... As long as the commander gives an order, his subordinates will immediately lead the brothers of the Second Legion up the mountain to exterminate the bandits, and bring their food back by the way, and their cottages must have hoarded a lot of gold coins, which can also be used to buy food in the villages and towns within the town demon pass to solve their urgent needs. ”
Situ Sen looked at Lin Muyu cautiously and said, "My subordinates know that the Lord Commander is the son of the First Emperor and the elder brother of His Royal Highness Qin Yin, so he may disdain his subordinates for doing such dirty things. ”
"No, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Lin Muyu patted Situ Sen's shoulder with a radiant look and said, "General Sen, if you can really do this thing, I will give you a great credit, and I can also recommend you to join the Royal Forest Guard and win the honor of the Royal Forest Guard." ”
Situ Sen was overjoyed: "Really, the commander didn't lie to me?"
"When have I ever lied to you, but when it comes to exterminating the bandits, try to minimize our own losses. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand, but I ask the commander to order the arrows so that my subordinates can mobilize the army. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu took a bronze tiger talisman from the hand of the deputy commander Wei Qiu on the side, handed it directly to Situ Sen, and said, "Allow you 10,000 soldiers, go, I'll wait for your good news in the endless forest..."
"Rest assured, Lord Commander, Situ Sen will never let you down..."
......
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and there is silence in the endless forest, full of birds and flowers, and the beasts hibernating in caves and crypts have also woken up one after another, and have begun to start the new year's survival in the forest, especially the awakening of some herbivores, which seems to have added a lot of life to this jungle.
The grain of the household department is transported uninterrupted every day, and the grain raised by Jin Xiaotang is transported every two days, plus the large number of potatoes dug in the Butterfly Valley, it is barely enough for 300,000 troops to eat, and the next thing to do is to wait, waiting for the potatoes planted by the Gentian Battalion and the Great Barbarian Tribes to harvest the first season early.
Early in the morning, a respectful voice came from outside the big tent: "Commander, Prince Huangxi asks to see." ”
"Let him in. ”
"Yes..."
Wei Qiu opened the curtain and walked in with the five big and three thick barbarian princes, Huangxi originally only had contempt for humans, but now he had to marvel at the cultivation skills of humans, and after seeing Lin Muyu's ability, he also understood how powerful human cultivators were, and their strength was not comparable to pure brute force at all.
Lin Muyu, who was refining the power of the Xingchen Jue, slowly recovered the source of his strength, and the brilliance of the azure stars lingered around his body, he slowly opened his eyes, his clear eyes were full of divine light, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with Prince Huangxi?"
Huangxi nodded and smiled: "Commander Rain, the first batch of potatoes we planted have been in the soil for so many days, why haven't we seen them sprout yet?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Don't be anxious, just keep the soil soft and moist, this kind of potato can be planted all year round except in winter, you have to be a little patient, the growth rate of the plant is not as fast as you think." ”
"Yes. ”
Huangxi nodded, smiled and said: "Commander Yu, my father will lead the rest of his clan to settle here tomorrow, the tents and wooden houses are not very well prepared, please bring more tents to shelter the warriors of our barbarian clan, you also know...... Although the warriors of the barbarians are brave, they are not good at farming and weaving. ”
"I know, by the way, Prince Huangxi. ”
"Captain Rain, what's wrong?"
"Well, according to my agreement with the Great Barbarian God, we will help you survive in the Endless Forest, you need to give me a force of five thousand men, I need the fiercest and most brave Barbarian warriors, can the prince choose for me? ”
"Huh?" Huangxi was overjoyed and said, "Rain Commander...... Will you let me personally lead the warriors of my clan?"
"Well, the premise is that you choose for me the five thousand men who are the most powerful in battle. ”
"Commander Yu, don't worry, Huangxi will be..."Prince Huangxi imitated the appearance of the human army, and the posture of clenching his fists and arching his hands made Wei Qiu couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Huangxi immediately glared at him.
Wei Qiu waved his hand and couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing, Your Highness has nothing else to do, if you don't have it, you can retreat." ”
"Hmph..."
Prince Huangxi turned around and arched his hand to Lin Muyu, and then walked out of the door with his head held high, indeed like a proud prince.
......
"Is there any news from Cangnan Province?" Lin Muyu watched Huangxi go away, and then asked lightly.
Wei Qiu's expression was solemn, and he said: "Yes, Qianfeng adopts the tactic of filling the river, intending to cut off the embankment made of manpower in the river and directly cross the Daojiang River to attack the steel retaining wall. ”
"Huh?"
Lin Muyu was stunned, her brows tightened, and she was silent.
