"How's the result today?"

Back at the camp, Xu Fan asked immediately after seeing Wang Yong.

There was a hint of joy on Wang Yong's face at first, but it soon turned into regret.

"General, we only grabbed less than 2,000 shi of grain, and all the other grain transport ships ran away."

Xu Fan was also a little surprised after hearing this, "Why is there so little harvest this time?"

Although the results of their interception of dry army grain transport ships in the past were not much better than this time, there were not as many grain transport ships in the past.

There are more goals, but less results, what does this mean?

It shows that their harvest is lower than before.

"What's the reason?"

Xu Fan didn't blame Wang Yong, but just wanted to understand the situation at that time.

Wang Yong: "The dry army first blocked us with warships to attract our firepower, and then used two grain ships as bait, asking me to either choose two ships of grain, or continue to pursue them."

"I chose food!"

After Wang Yong finished speaking, Xu Fan was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are right, if you keep chasing, you may not be able to catch up, and you may encounter an ambush from the Gan army, the two ships of food are worth giving up that poisonous apple. "

Xu Fan seemed to be comforting Wang Yong, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

This battle made him a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't find a single person who made a mistake.

Is Wang Yong's choice wrong?

No, if he hadn't done this at the time, maybe he wouldn't even be able to bring back the two shipments of food.

Greedy people generally pay a heavy price.

But the few successful greedy people will still attract more people to follow in their footsteps and make the same choice.

Wang Yong restrained the greed in his heart, and chose to accept it as soon as it was good.

It's just that Xu Fan's troubles cannot be solved with just two ships' food.

They need more!

"I don't know when the army will deliver the next batch of food?"

The dry army in Nanhu County has become Shenwuwei and a local army with a strength of 60,000.

The daily food consumption of so many people is astronomical. Thirty grain ships have to transport a batch of grain to Nanhu County every two or three days.

This kind of consumption is enough for Yang Yuan to persevere. In another country, the war would have ended long ago. As long as he can occupy a territory in Nanhu County and stabilize it, it can come to an end, and the next war will start after the supplies are replenished.

And Zhao Long's plan is to win Nanhu County in one go. In fact, doing so will save a lot of time and materials on the whole. After all, long-distance transshipment of materials is a huge waste.

But in a short period of time, the pressure on Dongting County and Qianguo will definitely be huge.

Fortunately, there is Yang Yuan in Qianguo, so there is no need to transport a large amount of supplies from all over the country to Dongting County, which solves 90% of the problem.

It is also because of Yang Yuan's support that no one in Qianguo holds Zhao Long back.

Otherwise, even if there is sufficient food and supplies, some people in the DPRK will propose to stop the war.

Isn't it good to use so much food and materials for domestic construction?

Qianguo is not considered poor and white now, but except for the four northeastern counties, most of the other counties are still the foundation of the original Shunguo, and even worse.

After all, the battle of more than a year was not for nothing. Although the Qianjun moved very quickly and mainly attacked the Shunjun's vital forces without harming the people, the Shunjun was not necessarily so.

There are also some big family members who saw the situation was not good and searched the property and even the population of the counties where they were located in advance.

According to statistics, when the sixteen counties in the north were occupied by the Qian State, they lost about 400,000 people and more than 20 million taels of silver, grain, jewelry, antiques and other items.

Except for the four northeastern counties that were occupied earlier and basically maintained their original status, the other twelve counties were relatively dilapidated when they were occupied by the Qian army.

The ridiculous thing is that the main culprit that caused the ruin of these counties was not Qianguo, but Shunguo, which originally ruled them.

At that time, the government and aristocratic family of Shun State would rather destroy things than leave them to the army.

From the perspective of Shun Country, there is no problem for them to do this. After these things are transported to the south, they can increase the heritage of Shun Country, so why should they be left to Qian Country.

Wouldn't that be an enemy!

But from the perspective of ordinary people in the twelve counties, what they did was not only incompetent, but also ruthless and cruel!

When government immigrants and aristocratic families retreat, they don't consider the interests of ordinary people. What they want is population and wealth, as long as they have these, they are enough.

Can these hundreds of thousands of civilians who have left their homes be turned upside down?

It is not that there are no officials who want to stop this kind of action that harms the interests of the people, but they are soft-spoken and cannot resist the orders of the superiors and the pressure of the family.

I could only lament a few times at home, and even resigned in anger and stayed in my hometown.

Of course, more families leave the north and go to the south.

After going to the south, there is still a chance to recover. Even if they can't recover, the wealth accumulated by them as officials for many years is enough for their family to live a prosperous life.

It would be even better if it could recover. The south is no worse than the north, or even better.

One year in the South is worth three years in the North.

That's why so many people want to be officials in the south.

The climate is suitable, there are gentle and charming pretty women, and more importantly, being an official here can earn money.

Big big money!

Hi!

Let King Shun worry about the affairs of Shunguo, and Yang Yuan still cares more about the war in Nanhu County.

But there was nothing he cared about.

The battle in Nanhu County is presided over by Zhao Long, and the battle on Dongting Lake is presided over by Zheng He. The only thing Yang Yuan needs to care about is that Dongting County's grain and supplies must be replenished in time. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

In fact, it is also possible to put these grains directly in Nanhu County, but Nanhu County already has a local army, and there is no way to explain the large amount of food supplies for no reason.

What Yang Yuan wants to do is to be a pure human emperor, not a **** in the sky.

It is not a bad thing to let the soldiers of the local legion know that Yang Yuan has extraordinary abilities.

It may also increase their loyalty to Yang Yuan and to Qian Guo.

But it is more likely that they will worship Yang Yuan as a god.

Qianguo does not need gods, at least not a **** sitting on the throne.

There can be personality cults, but one cannot be deified, even if this person is Yang Yuan.

Once the deification of the emperor became a tradition, then after Yang Yuan passed away, Qianguo might develop in a direction he didn't want to see.

So every time Yang Yuan puts food and supplies in a warehouse area in Dongting County that is completely guarded by Shenwuwei.

This reservoir area is built by the Dongting Lake, and it is not very convenient to transport grain from Dongting County to here, and it can even be regarded as a bit inconvenient.

But it is very convenient to transport food away from here.

So Yang Yuan chose here to let Dongting County build a reservoir area.

The warehouse area is very simple, most of them are wooden warehouses, as long as they can shelter from wind and rain, it is enough.

When the warehouse area was built, Yang Yuan never thought that the Shun army would threaten it, so the existence of Shenwuwei was only to prevent soldiers from non-dimensions from approaching.

Today, Yang Yuan appeared in the reservoir area again.

While replenishing the warehouse area with grain and supplies, he complained: "The warehouse here is still small. It should have been doubled as early as before, so I have to come here every other day to be a porter!"

He is willing to give these grains to Shenwuwei, but every time he replenishes the warehouse, it makes him very painful!
