Gao Zhan's heart was broken, but at this moment, after Zhao An gave the order for the integration of the army, the entire army began to gather at an unbelievable speed, and the required logistics materials were sent to Zhao An overnight.

Gao Zhan looked at the assembly speed of the entire army, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what made him feel the most incredible should be the incredible assembly speed of Liu Tai's army!

How can an army be assembled so quickly?

From Liu Tai giving an order to Zhao An, to Zhao An gathering all the soldiers, and then immediately starting out.

Normally, it would take at least a week for the personnel to assemble and the supplies to be ready.

But now, it was only one day, from notifying the personnel from all over the place to gathering, to the arrival of the supplies at the camp, even the armor and arrows were all sent overnight, and even the donkeys for transportation were allocated to Zhao An's army.

These donkeys are only used in Liu Tai's sphere of influence, and if they arrive in Youzhou, these donkeys will be sent back to Nanpi City.

There is no way, the livestock strength in Liu Tai's hands is relatively weak, and it is impossible to let these donkeys go out with the army.

Gao Zhan is also clear about Liu Tai's lack of horses, but what Liu Tai lacks is a horse farm that can raise war horses, and if some livestock with production nature, Liu Tai still encourages local production.

For example, donkeys and cattle are the two most common types of livestock, and Liu Tai also raised a large number of dogs, mainly for pulling sleds after snow in winter.

Whether these are useful or not, Gao Zhan is not clear, after all, Gao Zhan is more of a military advisor with the army, and he can observe the production, or because Zhao An's army is relatively special, but in terms of the real effect, Gao Zhan is not clear.

However, seeing that Liu Tai dispatched thousands of donkeys to Zhao An's troops as vehicles on the march, Gao Zhan understood very well that compared to the almost 70,000 or so soldiers that Liu Tai maintained to the death, the strength below the iceberg in Qingzhou was even more terrifying.

Gao Zhan didn't dare to think about anything more, and decisively followed Zhao An to march towards the north early the next morning.

With the donkey as a cargo vehicle, it also improved the overall combat efficiency of the army by a lot.

As Zhao An's troops set off, Liu Tai didn't have much rest in the end, and immediately found Su Jun.

At this time, Su Jun was training the engineering troops that Liu Tai had just formed, and their task was mainly to disassemble the siege weapons into parts, and then reassemble them, and then enter the live shooting stage, and use them back and forth.

Look at how long these siege weapons hold out and can't hold on, and then adjust what can be adjusted, and what can't be adjusted.

At least the corresponding accessories should be carried more when taking the boat, and it can be more convenient to repair when the siege is time.

"How's this siege team training?" Liu Tai looked at Su Jun and asked.

"Very good, this year is mainly to simulate the use of these siege weapons, and if you find a problem, you will solve it for Xie Fei, and if you can't solve it, you will carry out comprehensive reinforcement.

Of course, the main thing is that these soldiers have gradually adapted to the loading and unloading of siege weapons! ”

Su Jun looked at the soldiers who were working hard to assemble various siege weapons at this moment, and his face couldn't help but show a little pride.

To be honest, when Liu Tai handed over this army to Su Jun at the beginning, Su Jun was more or less at a loss.

But Su Jun himself is a shipping family after all, so compared with other generals, Su Jun is no stranger to carrying this relatively special type of troops.

It's just that after carrying it for a while, Su Jun found that this type of troops was a little different from other types of troops.

What they need more is to arrive at the battlefield, complete the assembly of equipment as soon as possible, and be able to complete the assembly of equipment, then the engineering soldiers can exert strong combat effectiveness, but if they cannot complete the assembly of equipment, then they have almost no effect.

For this kind of soldier, Liu Tai made a suggestion to divide the process of loading and unloading equipment in detail according to the assembly line.

Let these soldiers clearly know what they should do first, and what to do next, step by step to teach these soldiers as fools, so that these soldiers can practice makes perfect, and quickly complete the assembly.

Su Jun tried it, and felt that this method was really good, at least it would have taken an hour to build a thunderbolt, but now it only takes about a quarter of an hour to make any team of engineers skillfully piece together the thunderbolt.

This efficiency, at least in Su Jun's opinion, is really hard to believe if it is not trained by himself.

But in any case, with such a mechanical team besieging the city, Su Jun is even more confident in attacking Youzhou.

"Can ships attack along the coastline today?" Liu Tai looked at Su Jun and said.

"The sea trials have been done very well!" Su Jun replied,

"However, in order to prevent our ships from being detected by Wang Jun, we have sent more ships to pretend to be fishing boats to explore the waterways and reefs along the riverbank, so as to ensure the safety of the waterway when we want to go to Youzhou to attack, and ensure that we can hit it with one hit!"

When Liu Tai heard this, he nodded and said, "In addition to the river in the north, explore the river in the south!" ”

"Our goal has changed?!" When Su Jun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "Not really, because Wang Jun may join forces with Gou Xi in the south to attack us."

If we need to get rid of the opponent quickly, we need to attack them from unexpected places. ”

"What about Youzhou?" Su Jun was a little puzzled when he heard Liu Tai's words.

"It's impossible to completely block the message, but we can consciously send some news out.

For example, we use light boats to transport soldiers, and even if they are prepared, they will not be able to build large ships now.

That's where we come in.

Moreover, if you want to accurately transmit the news from the north to the south, and even explain the situation on the battlefield clearly, I am afraid that it will not be an easy task! ”

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "And they must know that the riverbank is frozen in winter, and it is impossible for us to land smoothly!" ”

"What do you mean?" When Su Jun heard Liu Tai's words, his face couldn't help but change.

"Meaning, let's see if those specially trained dog sleds can move on the frozen ice!"

Liu Tai smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "There is ice, snow and frost in Bohai Bay, so it is difficult for ships to move forward.

But let's not forget that the frozen waters have stopped our ships, but they have not necessarily stopped our armies.

If the dog sled does make its way forward, it will be their end.

And what is the most important thing you have to do this winter, you should know! ”

"In the end, we will train the dog sled project well to confirm that the ice surface of Bohai Bay can make the dog sled pass smoothly!" Su Jun heard Liu Tai's words and said to Liu Tai with confidence.

As long as the frozen river no longer hinders the advance of his army, the seemingly safe place will become a deadly trap.

Liu Tai saw that Su Jun had already reflected, so he didn't talk much, but asked Su Jun to make new preparations.

Liu Tai understood that such a thing as Su Jun's direct attack from the sea, as long as it appeared once and the news spread, then normal people would be somewhat guarded.

And for those who sneak attack, after the other party is on guard, it is much more difficult to carry out another sneak attack.

It's just that Liu Tai doesn't care, and he can't sneak attack in space, so it's better to sneak attack from the concept of time.

Even if the time comes to turn a sneak attack into a strong attack, Liu Tai doesn't care very much.

After all, when the time comes, he will attract all of Wang Jun's main army, and at the same time, Zhao An will respond to Su Jun and Tian Yu behind enemy lines.

At that time, Su Jun understood that under this series of linkage, they thought that they were the winners and losers who decided the victory or defeat.

In fact, they were only responsible for transporting engineering weapons!

The following days were relatively stable, but if it was in Qingzhou, it would be obvious that the donkey carts in Qingzhou had become much more frequent.

The rhythm of life in the entire Qingzhou county began to improve under Liu Tai's conscious adjustment.

Although Liu Tai thinks that even if Zhao An and his troops burn the autumn grain, according to reason, Wang Jun will have to endure it for a year, and wait until the food is fully prepared before raising troops to attack, no matter how he says, he will not directly raise troops in anger and directly fight with himself.

But the problem is that if this world is reasonable, I am afraid that there will be no such thing as the Sima clan becoming the emperor.

So whether Wang Jun will be angry and raise troops Liu Tai really can't guarantee it, but he is still ready to do what he should do and be ready at any time.

For Liu Tai, as long as Zhao An's troops succeeded in burning the grain, they had to delay it for a year smoothly and make themselves more prepared, or Wang Jun was angry and raised troops, and he needed to face the danger of lack of food, and Liu Tai didn't mind either of the two.

Therefore, whether Liu Tai's plan can be carried out smoothly this time, the most important thing is to see the results of Zhao An's troops.

In fact, Youzhou is naturally on guard against Liu Tai, and the technology of beacon tower is more or less there.

According to the normal logic of warfare, if Liu Tai attacked, because in the plain area, he would definitely have to capture those cities that occupied the key points of the water flow.

Because after these places are taken, they can directly transport grain with water streams, saving time and effort.

If there is no water conservancy to help prevent people from eating and chewing on the road, the cost of marching is too high.

But this time, Zhao An's troops first directly attacked a village in Fanyang County, and directly controlled the granary to gather the people to come here to distribute grain.

Because Zhao An wants to be a model, the troops have not been separated.

But Gao Zhan decisively interrupted Zhao An's decision and said:

"General, the general asked us to quickly destroy this food, if the food is distributed so slowly, when will it go.

Do you think the general will let us burn the grain directly?

I saw that the general prepared a lot of materials for us, and there were a lot of things that ignited fire! ”

If Liu Tai knew Gao Zhan's thoughts, I am afraid that he would be introduced as a staff officer to enrich his staff group.

But in the face of Gao Zhan's thoughts, Zhao An shook his head and said, "How bright is the county prince, how upright the county prince is, how can he do such a thing of cutting off the people's food rations, if it is really necessary, why let us do this kind of thing!" ”

Gao Zhan was skeptical of Zhao An's words, but now working under Zhao An, he would not stand up to his boss.

Gao Zhan immediately exerted his wisdom and said, "Don't let our people send it, not to mention that these local people may not believe it, and it is not easy to send it in a short time, so it is better to change the method and hand it over to the local wealthy family!" ”

"The wealthy family, they are willing to cooperate with us?!" Zhao An couldn't help but be suspicious when he heard this.

"Whether you cooperate with us or not, it depends on interests, in the end, we have no mortal enmity with the local family!"

Gao Zhan said confidently, "Send someone to the local family to come and discuss, they will be willing to use it for us!"

However, we can first send someone to publicize that the local family will distribute food to the people for the winter, and let the people come and collect it! ”

Zhao An was skeptical when he heard Gao Zhan's words, but in the end he did what Gao Zhan said.

And the local family is also a little baffled, why did they suddenly have to distribute food to the people for the winter!?

But no matter what, seeing that Zhao Anren came strongly, they also decisively sent people over to find out the news.

At least no matter what, no matter how you look at the information that Zhao An revealed, he is willing to communicate with himself, and this is enough.

At this moment, Gao Zhan looked at the representatives of these families and took the lead in speaking: "Very good, all the people with heads and faces in this small county are here."

I'm a high soldier, we're in a hurry, and to make a long story short, we'll burn the grain here before we leave, and the flames will stain the local ledger along the way.

What you need is to distribute winter food to the local people in the name of our army.

What do you think? Is there a problem? ”

When these representatives of the local family heard these words, they couldn't help but be a little stunned, but suddenly their eyes widened.

One by one, they showed a friendly look, and some even said, "General, can we carry some food?" ”

Gao Zhan smiled calmly, "We don't care how much we can move, but if you hand over these transported grains to Wang Junjun as military rations in the future, as long as we find out, when the time comes, your whole family will make military rations, don't blame us!"

We can't help it, the order given by the general is to burn all the grain and grass, and I believe you don't want us to be embarrassed! ”

"I know, I know!" The delegates nodded one after another, rubbing their hands together like flies, "General, we must handle it properly?" ”

"We're only going to be here for one day and we'll be leaving tomorrow!" Gao Zhan said thoughtfully,

"I hope your speed is not slow, otherwise we will be troubled too!"

"Please also rest assured that Gao Senjun will definitely deal with this matter!" These people from wealthy families patted their chests and said!

Soon, as these families and Gao Zhan finished negotiating, they immediately went home in high spirits, maybe once in their lives, and tonight the whole family stayed all night, and they didn't have to sleep!

At this time, Zhao An still looked at Gao Zhan with some confusion, "This is it?" Why? ”

"Because they're a family!" Gao Zhan slightly said with a little reason,

"In such a troubled world, how can the family's accounts at the grassroots level be clean.

Now that there is a reasonable excuse to smooth out all the accounts and throw the black cauldron on us, how can these powerful families refuse.

As long as we show kindness to them, they will be willing to fall on us!

As for distributing food to the people, they are definitely more familiar with it than we do, but this time they want profit, and we want fame! ”

"What if they embezzle these things and don't give bread to the people!" Zhao An was a little worried.

"Believe me, I think this is what our great general wants to see the most!" Gao Zhan couldn't help sighing, looked at his hands, and blamed this troubled world for making his hands black.
