Chapter 60 Food Delivery

Zhao Yun respects Li Xu quite well, and he is very grateful. When Li Xu first met him, he said he was willing to marry his daughter to him and support him in the uprising. He has no objection to his decision for more than a year.

To be honest, Zhao Yun was very satisfied with such a father-in-law. In contrast, there are several conditions proposed by Li Xu. In his opinion, it is human nature. If someone is not close to you, why should he help you?

It took great courage to marry her daughter to someone who could only speak vernacularly at the time.

In this era, if he had been in the previous era, people like him would definitely be treated as a psychopath.

Not long after chatting with Li Xu, Xun You and others arrived. Zhao Yun handed the Zhao Tong in his arms to Li Xu and took the man to the study.

After the four of them sat down, Zhao Yun looked at Xun You, Gao Shun and Dian Wei, and was very satisfied.

At the beginning of the time travel, I was alone. I had already found these three people to help me on a trip to Luoyang. I was lucky.

If it weren't for a coincidence, it might be impossible for Xun You and Gao Shun to get it except Dian Wei!

Zhao Yun is very glad that he has good luck. At least when he first started his business, there were a few trustworthy people around him, which felt very good.

After repeating the conversation he had just talked with Yun Kun, Zhao Yun asked: "Gongda, what do you think about this?"

Xun You smiled, "Just wait until spring is over and the weather is warming up, it is the time when the lord sends troops. Ge Yuan's army has only three thousand cavalry, but Ge Yuan does not understand the military strategy at all. He only needs to apply a small plan to break through. After that, the Xianbei fell into civil strife and would definitely not care about a small Ge Yuan's army. We can develop and strengthen ourselves at will. Seize the opportunity and enter the grassland in one fell swoop! Lord, the three families are useless."

Zhao Yun nodded, "Yes, Gongda's idea coincides with me. At this moment, we are waiting in the dark, and they are in the light. The relationship between Ge Yuan's tribe and the three families is OK. At least Ge Yuan would never have thought that the people from the three families would harm them. Yun Kun must have thought that I would suddenly attack them! Just plan for a while, the three families and Ge Yuan's tribe in Qinghu City are not worth worrying."

Dian Wei grinned, and with his really scary face, he looked quite scary: "Anyway, I'll listen to my lord, I'll do whatever my lord told me to do."

Gao Shundao: "The subordinates thought that we could divide the troops into two groups. First, use food and grass to lure the cavalry of Ge Yuan's troops into the encirclement, and then we suddenly came out. The unprepared cavalry did not have to expect how powerful their combat power could be. At the same time, the lord could personally lead the five hundred cavalry to attack the lair behind Ge Yuan's troops. In this way, even if the cavalry in the encirclement broke out, they would be homeless after they escaped."

Xun You thought for a while and said, "Zhongda's plan is feasible. Otherwise, if we hit head-on, even if we can win, we may only win miserably. What's more, those cavalry have only been trained for half a year. Unlike the Xianbei cavalry who grew up on horseback, they are still far from each other. Therefore, luring the cavalry of Ge Yuan's troops out of the siege and killing, and the lord led the cavalry to attack Ge Yuan's troops, which can hit them to the greatest extent, and our casualties can be minimized."

The three of them discussed for a while and after improving some details, the matter was set in this way.

Finally, Zhao Yun said: "From today on the happy day, let the soldiers devote themselves to the training. Tell them that when we return from victory, I will allow them to have three days off, and all the expenses will be paid by me. But now, I will hold back the desire, and I don't want to wait until the fight starts to start the fight and make them weak on the woman's belly!"

Gao Shun nodded: "Don't worry, lord, I'll go and give orders now."

In the next few days, Zhao Yun and Yun Kun had a very frequent contact and were discussing how to give Ge Yuan's food and supplies.

This is the crime of traitoring the enemy and stolen the country. Even if Yun Kun has been dealing with the Xianbei for many years, he is a little scared. If the matter is leaked, it will be a serious crime to behead him. The whole family will not want to escape. Collude with the Xianbei and tell evidence. Although there are many rumors in Bingzhou, it will not cause any harm to them.

But once such a thing is exposed, it will be doomed!

Yun Kun was upset, but Zhao Yun kept instigating him, showing his appearance as if he was afraid that Ge Yuan's troops would lead his troops to attack Qinghu City without obedience.

Yun Kun also figured it out. Now that he is disobedient, he will die soon. Ge Yuan's tribe will not talk about love with him. Even if he is seen later and wants to be beheaded, that will be the next thing. At least he will talk about this level before he can take care of him.

Soon, the food and grass worth a thousand gold was ready.

In 181 AD, the Eastern Han Dynasty was still peaceful, and occasional rebellion had nothing to do with Bingzhou. Before Zhang Jiao's uprising, although the Eastern Han Dynasty was corrupt, it was not useless. At least in peacetime, the price of food was not too expensive.

One gold is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in later generations. The current price of grain is ten copper per kilogram, which is ten yuan per kilogram, which is several times more expensive than that in later generations. But at this time, the price is still cheap.

If the war is together, the price of grain can be said to be a change every day, and a thousand yuan per pound can be considered cheap.

One thousand gold is ten million, and a pound of grain costs ten yuan per pound was prepared for a full million pounds. Ge Yuan's troops had about 5,000 people. According to the equipment of five pounds of grain per day for each army, one million pounds of grain was only enough for them to spend about forty days.

If they were really given food and grass worth 30,000 gold, then the 5,000 people from Geyuan's tribe could eat it for at least four or five years. With so much food and grass stored, no matter how the Xianbei fights, as long as they are not implicated, they can still spend this period safely.

How many million kilograms of grain is there? A sack can hold more than 200 kilograms of grain, which is nearly 4,000 bags of grain.

It is worth mentioning that in this era, a pound was actually only more than 200 grams. According to the later generations of 500 grams, and one or five hundred grams, the pound here was actually only a little more than four taels.

The army generally uses "stone" to calculate food and grass. One stone is about 31 kilograms, which is converted into the weight of later generations, which is 62 kilograms.

Therefore, buying less than half a kilogram of food for ten yuan is indeed very expensive, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Zhang Jiao can cause trouble so easily.

A sack is said to be more than 200 kilograms, but if converted into the measurements of later generations, it is actually less than 100 kilograms.

To sum up, the standard configuration for five kilograms of grain per day in the army is actually just a little over one kilogram of grain that each soldier can eat every day.

This is already very good in this era. This is the reason for eating food when you are a soldier. Except for the army, everyone in the family can have a good life even if they have a good life.

A grain truck can hold eight sacks, and a 4,000 bags of grain can hold five hundred chariots, which is not small.

After preparing the food, Yun Kun immediately contacted Ge Yuan's troops and asked them to send someone to transport the food.

It is not enough to rely solely on the hundreds of soldiers in Qinghu City. The three families also have many slaves.

The handover dozens of miles outside Qinghu City was a majestic exotic man. He rode a tall horse and looked majestic, but Zhao Yun was extremely disdainful. He could stab him to death with one shot!
