After Mi Huang went to Luoyang, he came back the next day, but he didn't find out anything famous.

Subsequently, from late October to the end of November, he traveled back and forth between the inner city and Biyong from time to time.

The situation outside is relatively calm.

There is no movement in Jizhou Bing, which may have a lot to do with the fact that coach Lu Ji cannot control the situation.

Zhang Fang is very active.

He suffered a defeat in October, and more than 5,000 of his men were killed, and if you count the previous losses, he would have only 53,400 men left to move.

But he just won't go.

Where he fell, Lao Tzu got up. After retreating to the Thirteen-Mile Bridge, he reorganized his troops, returned to the west of the city, and built a strong camp, which could not be built, and was consumed by the king's division.

Sima Yi didn't expect Zhang Fang to be so stubborn, and in a fit of rage, he sent troops to attack his camp repeatedly, but in addition to increasing unnecessary casualties, he gained little.

Although the western soldiers were beaten so that they did not dare to fight, they were still nailed to the west of the city.

During this time, Shao Xun has been doing two things: reorganizing the troops and collecting grain and grass.

His current force is far more than a building.

The children and teenagers were originally slightly more than the three teams, which would be almost exactly the establishment of the three teams, and there were not many people killed, injured, or sick.

In addition, there are nearly seven hundred soldiers left, and the source is complicated, so Shao Xun slightly distinguishes them.

He had thought about it before, and the servants and subordinates of the wealthy families who had been requisitioned and sent over could not be let go, and it was still this idea. But when the war is over, he will not force him to stay, one is to offend people, and the other reason is more important: these people have families, and they are not willing to abandon their wives to fight for their lives.

Of course, if you voluntarily stay as a soldier, it's a different matter. Everyone's living environment is different, this possibility cannot be ruled out, what if he is not happy to be a slave and wants to change his way of living?

The same is true for soldiers who are forcibly incorporated into the army.

They are generally the pillars of the family, and it is miserable to be forcibly conscripted into the army. Maybe you're still worried about your relatives and worried that something will happen to your family, after all, you can't expect other troops to cross the border without committing any crimes, right?

In short, a twisted melon is not sweet. Now is to quench the thirst, in the future it will only ruin the morale of the army and increase negative energy, it is better to dismiss the matter after the war is over.

There are about two hundred of them, and they are organized into four teams.

The remaining 500 people joined the army for different reasons, but they were basically voluntary.

Shao Xun made it very clear to them that since he was a recruiter, he had to count his words, and he couldn't be half-hearted, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law.

These people were organized into ten teams, relatively well-equipped, and their morale was high, Shao Xun gave them most of the gold silk rewards he received, and the other four teams only got a little.

There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and that's what it is.

******

At the beginning of December, Shao Xun led people out of the station to collect grain and grass.

In addition to the old man, there are also several newly promoted team owners, such as Zhang Gu, Yao Yuan, Yu An, etc.

In the previous battle, Liu Tong and Zhong Badger died two team leaders, which will expand the army and have a lot of opportunities.

Zhang Gu is a native of Luoyang, the protagonist of the divorce incident, and was born as a butcher.

Yao Yuan is a Kansai outcast, can handle crops with a few hands, and even can ride a horse, Shao Xun is very suspicious of whether he is a Qiang person. But Yao Yuan flatly denied it, saying that he was from Chang'an, not from the Yao family in Nan'an.

Shao Xun agreed.

He's just a little low-level officer, what are you doing incognito?

Yu An is a son of a businessman, and he actually gave up a table word, called "Jing Nan".

Shao Xun was even more curious about him, and confirmed many times that he really wanted to be a soldier? Isn't it to go back and inherit the family property?

Yu An bluntly said that the family property was no longer his share. He was a concubine, his biological mother died early, and after his father died of illness, he was directly kicked out of the house. There is really nowhere else to go except to be a soldier and fight for wealth.

Shao Xun was noncommittal.

Yu An is literate, and this is very important. With this ability, it's not too difficult to get enough food and clothing, why do you come to do this murderous business? Thinking of his situation, it seems to be a little understood.

It's just that this road is not necessarily easy to walk.

In today's world, there are only a few states and counties that can live in peace. Wars are so frequent that it's hard to give you time to grow.

Shao Xun looked at the history books in later generations, and Shi Le and Shi Hu raised hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, but in fact, most of them were Ding Zhuang, who was not well trained, and it was really difficult to say that he was a martial artist.

Rookies at this level pecked each other, winning or losing was normal, there was a lot of uncertainty, and they burped if they weren't careful.

He has been in Luoyang for more than a year, and has experienced two battles, and the initial soldiers have changed at least one-third, especially the offensive and defensive battles with Meng Chao's troops are the most tragic.

In fact, he knew that Meng Chao's troops were very ordinary, and they were not a strong army. If your own troops were more elite and overthrew his 3,000 men with a few hundred men, or even chased and fought, the casualties would be much smaller.

But this is unrealistic.

He was now walking like he was being pushed by something, and he couldn't stop at all. After finally training a little soldier, he was immediately sent to war attrition, and then he was replenished with new soldiers, and everything started from scratch.

The egg hurts.

Suddenly there was a cacophony ahead, sometimes mixed with the cries of people.

Shao Xun walked over quickly, but saw that Chen Yougen, the head of the team, and Li Chong, the leader of the team, were assigning their subordinates to tie up a group of people.

"Where's the soldier?" Shao Xun glanced at it and asked.

"Ding Nan recruited from Dengfeng County." Lee replied.

Shao Xun looked at them carefully.

Indeed, the clothes are varied, and the equipment is very messy, and it is not a warp army.

The lack of troops in the Wang division is the truth, and there is nothing to hide.

The Luoyang Chinese Army has so many people, which is completely insufficient to support a broad front. Therefore, before the war, Sima Yi wantonly conscripted Sizhou soldiers and even farmers Ding Nan to expand the armament war.

These Dengfeng soldiers should be the ones who will be summoned.

"The equipment is down, let it go." Shao Xun waved his hand and commanded.

Then, looking at the horse-drawn carriages lined up on the street, he asked, "How much grain did you get?" ”

"More than two hundred stones." Li Chong was not sure, and only gave an approximate number.

After speaking, he complained again: "It's getting harder and harder to get food, and there are still people grabbing it." ”

Shao Xun nodded.

Now that the whole of Luoyang is short of food, competition is inevitable.

In the past month, because the situation has eased a little, the city has sent them a thousand stone of corn and some arrows, bowstrings and other consumables.

Wu Qian inquired privately and learned that there was also a shortage of food in the city, so after sending this thousand stones, he would find a way to do it himself in the future.

Shao Xun immediately keenly judged that after losing the supplies for transporting to Beijing from other states, Luoyang's grain stocks were rapidly depleting and had to be saved.

From the time he first settled in Biyong, he paid great attention to collecting grain and grass.

At that time, there were almost no competitors, and the high-ranking mansions and wealthy merchants who fled did not know how many, they could take away the fine and soft, but they could not take away the grain, so it became an important source of supply for their people.

But after fighting for so long, the consumption is indeed very large, and it is very likely that the various departments stationed outside the city have not received sufficient supplies, so they have to find their own way. Today, there are more and more competitors, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce.

Whether there is a war or not, people always have to eat.

Sima Yi's battle seemed to have the upper hand, and the casualty ratio was very good, but it had a fatal place: it failed to break the blockade.

In fact, Shao Xun was very strange, after the Battle of Jianchunmen, why didn't he take advantage of the enemy's new defeat, the incapacitation of the commander of the army, and the leaderlessness of the dragons, to pull out all the troops that could be beaten, and to have a decisive battle with the enemy with the momentum of a great victory?

As long as the decisive battle is won and external contacts are opened, the dilemma of lack of materials can be greatly alleviated.

But almost two months have passed, and the enemy army has slowly adjusted and reappointed Shohide as the head coach. They began to build deep ditches and high bases, blocking all post roads and rivers step by step, and still surrounded Luoyang City.

This battle is only good for quick battles, not for a long time, Sima Yi can't even figure this out? Or did he feel uncertain, so he waited for change, hoping that the enemy's backyard would catch fire and chaos without a fight?

There is too little information to judge.

But the lack of food is like a sharp sword hanging over the head, and it will fall at any time. Over time, morale will fall, and it will be a little difficult to win the battle at that time.

"How many days can I keep food in the army?" Shao Xun asked.

Li Zhong shook his head, not knowing.

Chen Yougen's face was happy. He doesn't know anything, but he happens to be able to solve this problem!

"Uncle Du, yesterday the old thing in front of Wu said that the grain in the camp was less than three months, and said that it was best to slaughter a batch of horses." Chen Yougen said with a smile: "I fished some more today, almost enough for three months." ”

"It's only three months." Shao Xun sighed and said, "The devil knows how long this battle will last." ”

"Uncle Du, according to me, what else is he going to sell for the court? It's better to pick up these hundreds of brothers, leave at night, and let's go to Sizhou, Yuzhou, or any other place to occupy a county seat. At that time, if you want to drink and drink, if you want to eat meat and eat meat, even if you like to sleep with the little lady of the family, you can also pick and choose. Chen Yougen said nonchalantly.

"Shut up." Shao Xun pushed Chen Yougen and said angrily.

The corner of his eye swept around Li Chong's body.

When Li Chong heard this, he only lowered his head and didn't say anything.

He was born in the Luoyang Chinese Army, and he may still have some residual loyalty to the imperial court, Shao Xun is not sure of his attitude.

He can command Li Chong to fight now, what does he rely on? This is a question worth looking into.

Some people's three views have long been fixed, and it is indeed not easy to change.

Li Zhong is like this, what about the soldiers?

They are not their own private soldiers after all, although Shao Xun has been trying to deepen his influence and let more people become his "brainless fans".

It's going to take time!

"Let's go, let's go back to camp first." He waved his hand and said.
