Chapter 1331

After Xinpi said that, he retreated. Xu you got up and said, "before you answer the question of the eldest son, let me tell you an intelligence that after the war next year, there are not many soldiers in the Tang army to support the Yan army."

"There are two reasons for this. First, according to the news from yanlingwei, the focus of the Tang army in recent years has been on the Zhao state in Bingzhou. This year, the king of the Tang Dynasty should have taken all the land of Shangjun and Henan, and next year, he should be ready to attack the Zhao state."

"Second, with the efforts of the great Honglu xunzhen, the state of Qi and the state of Wu have both agreed to unite with our country to deal with the Tang army. At that time, the armies of Qi and Wu will make the move of Chen Bing on the Tang border to contain the Tang army. Therefore, even if the state of Tang is sending troops to rescue, there will not be too many soldiers available in the two counties of Hanoi Shangdang."

When they heard the words, they all nodded.

"Sir, I haven't answered the question just now." Gaogan, the governor of Changshan, asked;

"as for the first round of grain harvest this year, what you have to tell you is that as long as you capture Jicheng, it's not a problem." Xu you laughed and then slowly replied,

"ah?" All the generals were confused and looked at Xu you with doubts.

Wen Chou is more anxious to shout: "Sir, don't tease us, come on..."

After paying enough attention to the taste of the people, Xu you said, "do you know how much money and food Gongsun Zan has accumulated in Jicheng?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"There are two hundred stones of grain!"

When people heard this, they were all stunned. You know, with ten thousand elite soldiers, the annual grain supply was only 180000 stones. In other words, the grain supply of Jicheng alone was enough for one hundred and ten thousand soldiers.

"I'll be good!"

"My God

"No, where does Gongsun Zan get so much food?"

Looking at the chaos in the hall, Yuan Shao coughed softly, and everyone immediately calmed down. One by one, they looked at Xu you with big eyes, and wrote a few words of disbelief on each face.

Xu you said with a smile: "you may not believe it, but what I want to tell you is that it has been repeatedly confirmed by yanlingwei. There are only two million stones more than that. As for where the grain comes from, let me tell you, Gongsun Zan has collected it from the following counties. Nowadays, except Jicheng, there are a lot of grain and grass in the state of Yan. For example, the grain in Yuyang city is only 200000 stone, which is only enough for Gongsun Yue, the prefect of Yuyang, to maintain 20000 prefectures and soldiers for half a year, while the grain and grass in the counties of western Liaoning in youbeiping are even less. "

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Gongsun Zan had emptied all the food in other counties. No wonder Jicheng had so much food.

"In addition to a large amount of grain, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the palace of King Yan in Jicheng. In addition, there are also countless treasures in the homes of the three righteous brothers of King Yan in Jicheng. Therefore, we only need to conquer Jicheng. Even if the Tang army destroys all the grain of the whole Wei state next year, we are not afraid." Xu you said triumphantly;

looking at Xu you's appearance, although we all know that what he said is too exaggerated, we are still frightened by the amount of money and food stored in Jicheng.

……

After a long time, many people reacted from the shock. Yuan Tan asked again, "is it just that the state of Qi and the state of Wu will really send troops to contain the Tang army?"

"Don't worry, young master." This time, it was Da Honglu Xun Chen who said, "the king of Qi and the king of Wu also understand the ambition of the Tang state. If our three families do not unite to suppress the development of the Tang state, it will not take a few years. The first ones to suffer losses must be the state of Qi and the state of Wu. Our country has a large territory, a large number of people, and sufficient money and food. The army of Tang certainly does not dare to ignore the tiger's whiskers, but the state of Qi and the state of Wu are different."

When Yuan Tan heard the speech, he nodded his approval.

Xun Chen also said: "besides, the king has agreed that after the great Wei controlled Youzhou, he will supply 20000 war horses to the state of Qi and 10000 war horses to the state of Wu every year. It is impossible for the state of Tang to provide so many war horses to others easily. The state of Wu is OK. Now it has a good relationship with the state of Tang. It can buy more than a thousand war horses every year, but the state of Qi can't get horses either. "

After hearing Xun Chen's words, yuan and Tan put their hearts back into their stomach. The relationship between countries is maintained by interests. If it is unprofitable, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can't risk the Tang Dynasty's sending troops to attack, and Chen Bing's border will be closed.

When everyone was relieved, Yuan Shao said, "now all the ministers have understood the arrangements for next year, so from now on, all the counties need to be prepared. In addition to preparing money and food to support next year's war, they also need to step up the training of troops, strengthen the city defense, and prevent the Tang army from attacking."

"We honor the king's order All of them agreed in unison;

"OK, you still have something to play!" Yuan Shao nodded his head and then asked;

Guanglu Xun rose up when Ji Chang was in charge, and said, "king, please pay attention to one thing, that is, the black mountain thief. Although we haven't seen any news about him for a long time, I think it's easy to change the country and the nature is hard to change. Please pay more attention to it."Yuan Shao heard the speech, nodded, turned his head and looked at Xu you.

Xu you understood what he meant and stood up and said: "tell the king back, the black mountain bandits are really quiet. According to yanlingwei's report, there has been no sign of sending troops for some time. However, over the past year, many people have fled under the rule of the black mountain army, but most of them fled to the Tang state through the Shangdang. "

"Oh," Guo Tu and Xinpi heard the words, and both of them were moved. They looked at each other. Guo Tu got up and said, "king, is there something strange in this matter?"

Xu you shook his head: "I have reported this to the king, and yanlingwei has made a lot of investigations. At first, the people fled because there was not enough food for the black mountain army. Then just after the Tang army occupied the Shangdang, in order to stabilize the Shangdang situation, they mobilized a large number of food into the Shangdang, and then there began to be a wave of refugees. At that time, there were only scattered people walking on the mountain road In the second year, the number of people entering the Shangdang will be even more. However, the main force of the black mountain army has not been affected. On the contrary, after removing the burden of a large number of refugees, it is said that Zhang Yan's troops have also been adjusted, just like those of the world's vassals, and have trained thousands of elite soldiers. "

"Oh, so we should be more on guard against black mountain thieves?" Xinpi road;

"Lord Xin doesn't have to worry. According to the news from Yanling guards, after Zhang Yan's troops are adjusted, there are only 10000 soldiers, while the rest of the troops still maintain the original situation. It's OK to harass the surrounding counties with their strength. It's impossible to send troops to attack the city and plunder the land." Xu you shook his head and denied
