One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Receive Nansheng, Kill Anxi (69)
Lu Zheng said it was very serious, but it was actually not that dangerous.
Kang Xin was young when she was a child, so it would not be obtrusive to dress up as a man. No matter how much Lu Zheng keeps people watching, as long as Kang Xintong doesn't kill herself and go where she shouldn't, she will basically be in no danger in the barracks. Unless the enemy directly attacked our camp, there would be nothing to do.
Furthermore, Lu Zheng is a counselor, not a general, and he spends most of his time in the barracks, completely able to protect this girl.
About Kang Xintong, Lu Zheng didn't hide it from An, and said hello in advance.
An vaguely heard that Lu Zheng had adopted a adopted daughter, but he did not expect that he would take the adopted daughter to the military camp.
"Take it with you, as long as you don't delay important events."
Ann had no objections, and the matter was settled.
When the army went out to fight, Lu Zheng followed An on horseback, but Hua Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this situation, Lu Zheng became more and more uneasy, and pretended to casually ask the people around him to find out Hua Yuan's whereabouts.
"Why don't you see Huayuan?" Lu Zheng whispered to the counselor who had a good relationship, his eyes were still wandering around, trying to find a familiar figure, he said, "My lord can't leave Huayuan, and I can't wait to take it with me wherever I go, why today? Missing?"
The other party asked him back, "You don't know?"
Lu Zheng shook his head, "I really don't know."
The other party said, "This time the enemy is coming fiercely. Liu Xi will send troops regardless of the spring plowing. It can be seen that he has become determined after eating the weight. If we want to defend against the enemy, we don't know how long this battle will last. I am afraid that there will be insufficient food and grass. The lord sent Hua Yuan went to collect the army rations and supplies..."
When Lu Zheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Is there not enough food and grass?
"How much food and grass does our army have? How long will it last for the army?"
During the days when Lu Zheng was in cold storage, he gradually lost touch with political affairs, and his understanding of the military camp was somewhat behind.
The other party said, "Roughly estimated, it should last until early winter."
"How come it's only early winter?"
According to Lu Zheng's estimation, the grain and grass reserves can at least last until the end of spring and the beginning of summer next year.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't hold it.
Food and grass are expensive in any period, not to mention that in today's troubled times, food and grass are the hard currency.
If there is a real shortage of food, we must not only find a way to increase income, but also try our best to reduce expenditure.
If it is a last resort, then special means can only be used to survive this difficult time.
Having said that, Lu Zheng still felt that An and Hua Yuan were too prodigal.
He has been hidden in the snow these days, these two people are quite profligate, the stupid sons of the landlord's family, who are stupid and quick to get money.
The background that Lu Zheng has accumulated over the years of operation will be tossed by them.
He had a rough idea in his mind, but he didn't expect the truth to be far from his guess.
"Originally, it should be able to last longer. After all, our army has benefited a lot from last year's incident. It's just...Liu Xi has been sweeping everywhere these years. Didn't he rely on the elite under his tent? Now that the army is approaching the border, the lord is right. She is extremely fearful, fearing that there will be insufficient troops, so she has been recruiting and training elites. My lord sent someone to select 150,000 young men who were taken away from the two states last year to enter the barracks..."
"One hundred and fifty thousand????"
Lu Zheng almost broke his voice.
Didn't he have auditory hallucinations?
Are you sure it's 150,000 and not 15,000?
"This is simply nonsense!"
Lu Zheng opened his eyes and scolded, regardless of An'an not far away.
An and Huayuan are not just prodigal sons anymore, but their brains were kicked by a donkey?
How can there be such a good thing in this world, wanting the horse to run fast, but also wanting the horse to eat and drink less?
These young people are all mouths waiting to be fed. They eat whole grains. They are neither wooden cows nor horses who have become immortals, and they cannot eat wind and drink dew. If they are treated as elite training, the daily food is at least twice that of normal soldiers!
With so many mouths to eat all of a sudden, why does An Zhen need no money for food?
The "last year's incident" mentioned by this population refers to the incident of Jiang Ji in the Qingye pit in Anjianbi last year. He took the benefits alone and searched the grain storage and supplies of the two states, but finally threw away a group of old, weak, sick and disabled who did not even have warm clothes. to Jiang Ji,
Make a fortune.
Taking Lu Zheng's opinion into consideration, Ann shouldn't have wanted those young and strong last year, and just searched for food, grass and supplies. Those young and strong, together with the old, weak, sick and disabled, were all thrown to Jiang Ji, making her worry about food. If it can be solved, then she has the ability, if not, she can just send someone to secretly incite these young people to rebel, attack the grain depot to grab food, and just let Lu Zheng see Jiang Ji's panic-stricken state. It's a pity, An just didn't want to listen, he was already confused by Hua Yuan's little bastard!
"There are 150,000 more mouths to eat out of thin air, how can we have enough food and grass for our army?"
Before Ann annexed the princes of Nansheng and absorbed their troops, the number of soldiers and horses under his tent was already huge.
The newly recruited young men from the two prefectures had no combat experience, so they pulled them over to wave their flags and give their heads and experiences to the enemy.
However, Huayuan wanted to fight Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng couldn't beat him due to various disadvantages, and his own protagonist Gong An had a greedy character. I digested it myself.
Look, now you know what happens when you are greedy and careless?
This is lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot!
Lu Zheng felt a little stuffy in his chest, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.
An, the lord, looked so reliable in the past, how could he be so prosperous that he couldn't find the north?
He can float into the sky if he wants to, at least wait until the dust of the enemy settles, right?
Before the enemy even knelt down, he lost his composure. Was he planning to give that woman Jiang Ji's head?
Lu Zheng has thousands of mmps in his heart, so he doesn't know what to say or not to say.
"Keep your voice down! Is this fatal?"
The man tugged on Lu Zheng's sleeve and gave a low warning.
He secretly looked up at Ann's direction, and found that the other party was looking this way, his dark eyes were emotionless.
Under such gazes, he suddenly shuddered, and suddenly lowered his head to avoid his sight.
Lu Zheng tightened his grip on the reins and snorted coldly.
"It's time for you to change your character. It's not like you don't know about my lord's temper. If you insist on fighting, you will be the one who suffers."
Father, like son.
Why is An getting close to Hua Yuan and alienating Lu Zheng?
It's not because of Lu Zheng's lack of ability, it's clearly Lu Zheng's temper that has made the lord An feel dissatisfied for a long time!
he thinks……
Lu Zheng might be put on shoes again.
Facts have proved that Ann is not as cautious as he imagined.
He did not like Lu Zheng, but he would not disregard the overall situation and leave such a capable person like Lu Zheng aside to become moldy.
Now is the time for employing people, Lu Zheng should still use them, and he will not need them in the future...
Hehe, let's talk again.
