Chapter 229
Seizing food and grass
"Miss Gu, our government office does not have enough military rations. We can last for two days at most. Even if the people in the city are willing to donate food, they won't be able to last for a few more days. There has been no letter from the court, and I don't know--" Master Ye
His face was full of sorrow.
Gu Zhian shook his head, "Don't place your hopes on the imperial court. Yunzhou is not a fortress, and it is not as rich as Qianzhou, Yuzhou and other places. Even if reinforcements are sent to the east, it will not be Yunzhou, let alone food and grass. It is impossible.
of."
Master Ye naturally knew this, but as an official of the Jin Dynasty and a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, he still had some expectations for the Jin Dynasty.
Gu Zhian stood on the city tower and looked at the dark Dongli army in the distance. He could vaguely see the soldiers cooking and eating around the bonfire. It was obvious that they were not short of food.
Think about it, how could they be short of food? Not only did they have the food and grass they brought from the southeast, but they also had trophies burned, killed and looted along the way. Those were all the rations for the people of Jin Dynasty!
Although she led thousands of city guards in the city to guard the city gate, she also trapped them here. Unless they killed all the Dongli army outside or retreated themselves, the people of Yunzhou City could get out of trouble.
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhian took out his binoculars to check the distribution of Dongli's army's camps.
Because of the cold weather, the soldiers rested around the fire. Very few people had tents, but one of them had a long row of tents. You could vaguely see empty tents beside the rows of tents.
Truck.
In the army, carts can be used either for large weapons or forage.
The Dongli Army obviously does not have large weapons, otherwise it would have been used long ago, which should be the second possibility.
She estimated the distance in her mind and soon had a detailed plan, so she told Master Ye who kept talking about food and grass next to her about her plan.
Master Ye was shocked, his eyes widened and he said, "You want to go out of the city to snatch their food and grass?"
"It's not just me, it's us. I want to take people there." Gu Zhian emphasized.
Master Ye looked at the black mass of heads, and at the scattered city guards standing or sitting around him, and swallowed hard, "Is Miss Gu joking with me?"
Gu Zhian glanced at him and raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm joking?"
"But -" Mr. Ye pointed to the black mass of heads in the distance, "There are many of them, there are only a few thousand of us."
Gu Zhian laughed and shook his head, "That's wrong, we have many more people than them."
"Ah?" Master Ye was confused by what she said.
Gu Zhian asked: "As the chief registrar, although you don't care about household registration, you still know something about the permanent population of Yunzhou City, right?"
Mr. Ye nodded in confusion, "I know, there are about 90,000 permanent households with registered registration records, and more than 570,000 people. This was calculated five years ago. It is only a lot more now."
Gu Zhian smiled and said: "Yes, we have more than 500,000 people, aren't we much more than their 50,000 people?"
Master Ye looked at her blankly.
Gu Zhian stopped pretending and expressed his thoughts, "I plan to take advantage of the large number of people in our city to create some noise everywhere. It is impossible for Dongli Country not to send people to check, but it will not send a large team of people.
At most, send a few hundred people
The small team went there, and our people quickly surrounded them - after this happened a few times, Dongli Kingdom would no longer send small teams out to explore, and we would naturally increase the number of troops to encircle them until the end of Dongli Army.
Send out a large number of troops——"
Master Ye finally understood. Although the process was complicated, there was only one result. "After they separate large groups of people and leave the camp, our real main force will go to their camp to snatch food and grass?"
