Lu Si cares about how much money he makes, but he cares more about how much grain Anton has.

As a result, the number given by Zheng Biao made Lu Si feel a little nervous.

There was not much grain in Andong City, and it looked like it was only seven or eight hundred stones in total. This batch of grain was transported from Ganyu County, Haizhou half a month ago. It was originally planned to be transported to Huaian in the next two days for supplying Jin Shenghuan and Zhu Ji's troops, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Huai Army.

The Ming Dynasty made a stone about 140 kilograms, which means that the batch of grain transported from Ganyu County was 110,000 to 20,000 kilograms.

In addition to more than 5,000 troops in the headquarters, the Huai Army also surrendered more than 4,000 Ming troops, with a total of nearly 10,000 people. If the livestock is only for people to eat, it will last at most ten days. Including livestock, it may only take five or six days. Mules, horses, and donkeys can eat much more than people.

Although the "beheading" action against Lu Zhenfei could certainly put the Ming army in Huai'an into a state of "no leaderless", if the Huai army itself had to give up Andong and retreat to Yancheng because it had no food, this success would be greatly reduced.

The Huai Army now has more enemies than before. In addition to the Ming army besieged, there are Liu Zeqing from Shandong, and Henan Shun Army, which was introduced as reinforcements, will also change from friendly forces to enemy forces in more than two months.

Lu Si remembers clearly that General Huaiqing Dong Xueli was a great hero of the Qing Dynasty, and Li Laiheng was finally wiped out by him.

The Qing army green camps under Dong Xueli were the current Henan Shun Army and the former Henan Ming Army.

It was already March, and the development of the situation in the north was exactly the same as what Lu Si knew. Then the Qing army would definitely enter the pass and go south. If the Huai army, which was the first to be hit, had to push the defense line north, and if possible, it would even advance to Henan and Shandong.

That is, the so-called "outside combat", which confronts the Qing army outside the base area to minimize the damage to the Huaiyang area by internal combat.

Lu Si plans to use Henan and Shandong as the first line of defense of the Huai Army; Xuzhou and Haizhou as the second line of defense of the Huai Army; Huai'an is the third line of defense.

If all these three lines of defense are missing, Lu Si will either make his last try in Yangzhou. If he doesn't have the ability, he will jump directly into the city. Don't call me Lu Wenzong of Shanggang.

Or you can only follow the bandit path that he is not willing to take and wander around other provinces, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

In addition, there is a way to go, that is, shaving his hair to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and joining Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and others as the vanguard of the southward journey for the Qing Dynasty, and then joining these guys to come to the Southeastern Great Wall anyway, and let the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty continue to speak. If that doesn't work, I can only learn from Wu Sangui. I have been a dog for more than 20 years to see if there is a possibility of a "Four Vocational Rebellion".

The next two paths are "rational" choices. If you can't beat them, you can send money to ask them to leave, or you can just kneel down and "a group" with you. In theory, it is not embarrassing.

Are these idioms such as sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, being able to bend and stretch, and striving to strengthen and strive to be strong all the experiences left by our ancestors to future generations?

To put it bluntly, the success of the king will be defeated and the enemy will be defeated.

But Lu Si really made him rationally and determined to go through these two paths. He really couldn't get out of it. Not to mention how frustrating it would be to be a slave to the Tartars, even the reputation of the three surnames' slaves was destined to be unable to compete for the tripod.

It would be fine if there was no chance. If there was no chance, it would be too sorry for him to think about his enthusiasm for digging the ancestral tomb when he first came.

Moreover, if we really want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Lu Si's "unified front" against Xiao Yuanying and Chen Tingyang before was not a "unified" move to take off his pants and fart.

In this world, it is the most deadly to go back on one's word.

Therefore, it is still a matter of being silly and fucking him.

Let’s talk about the future. Now Anton must occupy it, and Huai’an must also be “recovered”, otherwise the Huai Army will not be able to establish a line of defense in the north.

Lu Si could not enter Huai'an City as reinforcements from the south, but to enter the city as the savior of the north.

This is related to the leadership of the Huai Army.

As for the "leader" Yu Huaishu, if Lu Si was unwilling to surrender, he would not say much. At worst, he would ask him to take a boat across the Huai River.

As long as the Northern Route Army in Huai'an City survives, a little training will definitely produce thousands of soldiers that can fight. This source of troops is reliable than surrendered soldiers.

To gain a foothold in Andong, you must have food. There is no official road in Andong and Yancheng. It is simply a dream to transport a large amount of food from Yancheng.

If he really can transport grain, Lu Si will not carry twenty kilograms of grain and walk in the mud for a few days.

What should I do if there is only so much food seized?

The answer is actually about to rob.

But the Huai Army could not openly rob the people like the Ming Army, as it would lose people's hearts and would be unfavorable to the subsequent anti-Qing struggle.

It is no joke that Lu Si's people in the Yellow River Flood Zone helped the Japanese fight against the national army in his previous life.

This is really difficult. If you grab it, there will be too many troubles; if you don’t grab it, it will be even more troublesome.

At this time, it has to be said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still some real skills, such as Zheng Biao, the governor of the Caodao. Perhaps this governor of the Caodao also felt that the Ming Dynasty was in a desperate situation, so he wanted to make some contributions in the Xin Dynasty.

Soon, rumors that the Huai Army would massacre the city quickly spread in the city and spread rapidly to the countryside. This rumor is very ignorant, and the people entering the city are really "bandit soldiers", which scared the people of Andong. Not long ago, Muyang was just slaughtered by officers and soldiers. People can massacre the city, so what can the bandit soldiers not do?

After hearing this rumor, Chen Tingyang even found Lu Si and accused him of slaughtering the city, he would rather hang himself than join the Huai Army.

"I am the governor of Dashun Huaiyang, and my Huai army is a soldier made by Dashun Jing. How can I do the same thing as the Ming army to massacre the city and harm the people!"

Of course, Lu Si denied the rumor and ordered someone to investigate the matter immediately.

When the people in the city were in danger, Zheng Biao appeared in the mansions of each household. The governor of the grain was here to ask the wealthy families to donate grain to the Huai Army for the lives of the people in the city. He said that the reason why the Huai Army wanted to massacre the city was because of the shortage of food, so as long as the wealthy families could donate the grain stored in their homes to the Huai Army, how could the Huai Army still massacre the city?

Quite reasonable.

It is also a robbery, but the nature of voluntary and righteousness is different.

In just two or three days, the wealthy and wealthy families in Andong City donated as many as 1,000 stones of grain to the Huai Army. I don’t know where the food of these guys came from. Anyway, there are endless carriages transporting grain from the countryside to the city every day.

Some poor people were deeply moved to see that the rich donated their property in order to save them, and they tried their best to squeeze out some of their small rations and take the initiative to hand over them.

The food shortage crisis was resolved like this.

Zheng Biao has gained a good reputation, and the rich and wealthy families have gained a good reputation, and the people have no losses. At most, they just eat less.

"If the Caoyuan was you, I think I, the governor, are already under prison at this moment."

Lu Si took photos of Zheng Biao, who did not take any credit for his contributions, "You are the governor of Huai'an."
