Chapter 110: Grain and Grass Destroyed Personally in charge
Zhou Sheng took the appointment letter and walked to the door before daring to open it.
His eyes were just fixed on the paperwork.
Until the word "master book" appears.
Zhou Sheng pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Su Xiu with a grateful look.
The main book of a state belongs to the fourth grade, and it is already the highest civilian official in a week, except for the two people of the assassin and the long history.
According to what Zhou Sheng thought in his heart, this Su Xiu can reward himself for being a county guard, and a six-grade official is already good.
I didn't expect to give myself a fourth-grade official.
Don't underestimate this from the four grades, although according to the authority, there is no greater power than the five grades.
But this promotion path is better than the five grades.
This is the assistant to the chief officials at all levels who are in charge of the documents.
Most of the people who held this official position were close to the assassins.
Because there are a lot of paperwork and specific matters for the master book to do.
And Su Xiu assigned this official position to Zhou Sheng, also with his own considerations.
It can be said that this official position of the chief bookkeeper is a pro-official of the assassin history, with great power, often involved in confidential matters, and the general leader of large and small affairs in the state.
Su Xiu will not be satisfied with the three-third of an acre of land in Liangzhou in the future.
In other days, if this Liangzhou is properly governed, then the person who manages this place must be Su Xiu's close faction.
Don't let outsiders pluck this peach.
Therefore, giving Zhou Sheng the official position of chief bookkeeper now is to lay a solid foundation for the future.
Although Zhou Sheng couldn't think about it so deeply.
But he also vaguely felt that this position as the master was a test of himself.
Zhou Sheng looked at Su Xiu, who was sitting inside, and wanted to say some words of gratitude, but it was too hypocritical to think about it.
He didn't say it.
At this moment, under the light of the candlelight, Su Xian carefully reviewed the documents, and his side face was clearly angularized by the candlelight.
Zhou Sheng tiptoed away, cautious, for fear of disturbing Su Xiu.
Tonight, Su Xiu was in the inner room of this Liangzhou Mansion and read the documents for a night.
When the sky gradually turned white, Su Xiu finished reading all the documents.
Yawned, dragged his tired body, and went back to his room to sleep.
Two days later.
Early morning.
The morning in Liangzhou is still as cold as ever.
The biting cold wind whistled by, and walking on the street, a cold wind blew, and it was bitterly cold.
Su Xiu tightened his jacket and looked at the Yan who had brought back the potato seeds in front of him.
"So fast? In terms of foot strength, I thought it would take three days. ”
Yan's eyes were covered with two big dark circles, and at first glance, he looked like he had been running around all night without rest.
"I know, the adults are in a hurry now, so naturally they have to hurry."
Su Xiu nodded.
"You go, give these potato seedlings to Zhou Sheng, the chief bookkeeper of Liangzhou, and then go and rest for a while."
After that, he gave Yan an address and asked him to go by himself.
Su Xiu rushed to the homes of the people around Liangzhou to help build greenhouses.
Now, the entire people of Liangzhou are moving.
And this tedious life is more than a month.
Seek the day, noon.
Su Xiu, who never slept lazily, fell on the bed and snored loudly.
Without him, I've been so tired lately.
During the day, urge the people to build greenhouses.
In the evening, I also had to review the other two official documents.
It's really a lack of skills.
That's why I slept until this time.
And the originally quiet noon was broken by a soldier outside the door.
"Newspaper... Oh no, my lord, something happened to the army at the front! ”
Su Xiu instinctively opened his sleepy and hazy eyes.
Looking at the comer, I tried my best to open my sleepy eyes and look at the soldiers in front of me.
The man was covered in blood, and there were many knife marks on his armor.
At first glance, it was a hard battle to break out of the encirclement.
Su Xiu, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, was in good spirits at once.
"Something happened in the army."
The soldier spoke very quickly.
"We were supposed to follow General Song's orders, only besiege and not attack."
"But how can the enemy be cunning, and never send troops to fight."
"In the first five days and nights, a group of martial arts warriors suddenly took advantage of the night to burn the army's grain and grass."
"And our army's food and grass are long gone."
"The army gradually slaughtered horses to fight hunger."
"General Song therefore ordered me to rush back to report the news."
Su Xiu's eyes condensed slightly.
"It's been more than seven days since this happened."
"Why did you delay reporting today?"
The pawn said with a crying face.
"General Song sent several waves of people and horses, but there was no return, and there was no news."
"In the end, General Song sent twenty teams of men and horses at a time."
"I narrowly escaped from the ambush."
Su Xiu asked loudly.
"Why don't you withdraw?"
The soldier wiped the sweat on his face mixed with the liquid flowing from the blood.
"The old general said that he had besieged the city for more than a month, and if he gave up withdrawing at this moment."
"The previous few days were all over the place."
"Therefore, stick to the spot and send us to the Liangzhou Mansion to raise grain and grass."
Su Xiu looked at the soldier with a bloody face and pursed his lips.
This Liangzhou Mansion really can't get any grain now.
After a month of major expansion.
Liangzhou's finances are still stretched.
Although it can barely support the porridge factory.
But they were unable to produce more food and grass.
On that day, the old general led his troops to exterminate the rebels.
Su Xiu brought all the grain and grass needed by each person in equal amounts.
Unexpectedly, it was burned by the fire overnight.
Su Xiu's brows tightened.
It was supposed to be according to their own plans.
The collagen three counties insisted on two months.
Because of the lack of food and grass, the army was defeated and the city was ruined.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the army's grain and grass were burned.
If you don't withdraw in time, you still have to hold on to it.
I'm afraid that the Iron Riders will be in danger.
Su Xiu pondered for a moment.
"Pass my order and order General Song to withdraw his troops."
The soldier looked anxious.
"Well, my lord, we've been holding out for days and nights."
"I see that I am about to succeed, but I withdraw the so-called peace!"
Su Xiu looked at the reluctant Zuo Guan.
"Cavalry is not good at attacking cities."
"The three counties of collagen are easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"That's why we set up a siege but not an attack."
"But now you're running out of food."
"If the logistics supply is not available, it will naturally not be able to continue to consume."
"Besides, now in Liangzhou, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, and at all times, I will personally go to 50,000 soldiers and horses."
Zhou Sheng, who had just come in to find Su Xiu to report the progress of the greenhouse, was surprised when he heard this.
"You're going to lead an army into battle?"
Su Xiu nodded.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Sheng's face was gloomy.
"What's wrong? It's very inappropriate, and now 50,000 iron horsemen can't take him. ”
"Do you think that the little army that Emperor Chu gave you can be compared to 50,000 iron cavalry in Liangzhou?"
"Wake up, if you want to siege the city, the force must be five times stronger than the enemy, so you have a chance of winning."
"The 50,000 soldiers sent by Emperor Chu are kept in the capital as a forbidden army all year round."
"Regardless of the combat power for the time being, the number of people alone cannot be an opponent."
Su Xiu looked at Zhou Sheng and smiled.
"The mountain people have their own tricks, so you don't need to worry about it."
"You go and prepare to catch the wind first, and the army is busy returning to the camp."
Zhou Sheng still wanted to dissuade him again.
Su Xiu waved his hand.
Only in this case, Zhou Sheng had to give up, sighed, put the official document on Su Xiu's table and left.
At this moment, Su Xiu was the only one left in the room, looking out of the snowy window.
Looks like I'll have to go there myself.
