When Lu Yu heard the news that he had obtained five thousand high-quality war horses out of thin air, he immediately ordered Shi Yue to change his clothes.
He had been strangled on a war horse by the Ministry of War many times, and he had fought fiercely on this grassland several times. The horses were also somewhat scarce. Lin Fengjin's behavior was just like taking a pillow when he wanted to doze off, and he came out of the Chinese military tent to receive him.
After a while, Lin Fengjin continued to remind Lin Fengjin not to forget to owe him a pill for "Xiaohong".
As for Lin Fengjin's request, such as wanting to exchange for some military rations, Lu Yu agreed without even listening. He impatiently told him to talk to Qin Han, the quartermaster, about such a big deal.
The quartermaster seemed to be a cheerful person, and Lu Yu probably told him that it was best not to cut off the Sanlibu line, because it was estimated that this was the only place where the Snake Swallowing Army could get a large number of high-quality war horses. So for Lin
Feng Jin's request for some military rations was confirmed by patting his chest.
"Isn't it just some military rations? How much do you need? Two hundred thousand dan? Five hundred thousand dan?"
After hearing these words, Lin Fengjin was almost petrified.
One stone is about 60 kilograms, which is the limit that an adult man can afford. Now after this battle, the total population of Sanlibu has instantly expanded to more than 20,000 people, and the food consumed every day will never be less than 20,000.
One hundred stones, one month is six thousand stones, one year is eighty thousand stones.
However, the staple food on the grassland is still dairy products, beef and mutton, fried noodles, fried wheat, etc., so Lin Fengjin's psychological bottom line is 40,000 shi. With this amount of food, Sanlibu has an extra year of buffer, and how can he solve the problem of food and clothing?
.
But the quartermaster Qin Han said it was two hundred thousand stones!! Five hundred thousand stones!!! The bottom line was far beyond Lin Fengjin's highest expectations, so much so that after hearing this, Lin Fengjin took a sip of tea.
He sprayed it out, and after a long time he smiled bitterly and said:
"This, this...Brother Qin, forgive me for being blunt, the Snake Swallowing Army seems to be carrying less than 100,000 shi of food and supplies, right?"
Qin Han laughed and said:
"Of course it's not taken from our army. We will set off back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You ask these prairie barbarians to send a pack team to follow us. After arriving at Sisheng Pass, just go into the granary and move whatever you want. We have moved it.
It doesn’t matter if you send five hundred brothers to escort your team back. It doesn’t matter if you make a few more trips. No barbarian with a short-sighted mind will dare to harass you. Everything will be done properly.”
Even though Lin Fengjin was well-informed, he never knew he had such a skill. He opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment. But Qin Han remembered that Lu Yu said that this person was a bitch and a bad guy, which was indeed true.
, but he was afraid that Lin Fengjin, a scholar, would have a phlegm attack and say something stern and unflattering about "the moth of the country" that would make everyone's faces look ugly, so he hurriedly said:
"General Luan, the general guarding the Sisheng Pass, is also acquainted with the Marquis. We don't want him for nothing. I'm afraid we have to give him several hundred thousand heads of the Eastern Xia Army. Our Snake-Eating Army will behead him at the Ministry of War."
In the eyes of those big people, they are all worthless, but Lao Luan can get promoted and make a fortune if he takes it. What is the value of giving him some food? Report a fire, kill a few greedy people at random, and then he can top the cylinder---
---I have to leave beforehand! Remember to send the escort team over."
Then Qin Han turned around and left, and Lin Fengjin came back to his senses. He secretly thought that there were indeed people above him who were easy to do things. It was indeed the law of officialdom since ancient times to bully the superiors and not conceal the inferiors. The huge problem that he saw was solved in one fell swoop. As for transportation,
The difficult question - when has there ever been a shortage of cattle and horses on the grassland? Among the things captured by Sanlibu this time, of course, the Dongxia people's baggage was included. And the Dongxia people can't carry this baggage on their shoulders, right? Therefore,
Even the means of transportation are ready.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart.
After receiving the specific information, all the senior officials in the Sanli Department were shocked. Even the minimum amount of 200,000 shi mentioned by Qin and Han Dynasty was the concept? One shi is almost 60 kilograms, and 200,000 shi is one
Twelve thousand tons of grain!!
The load capacity of the ox cart is almost two tons. There is no shortage of cattle in Sanli District. The key is that the cart still has some gaps. The Snake Eater Army generously offered to support a group of baggage carts for them. In short, this thing can be reported to the Ministry of War for damage.
In fact, when encountering an enemy in a hurry on the grassland, the best way to deal with it is to form a large vehicle formation. It is not normal for the large vehicle blocking the outside to suffer losses, and even the slightest fault cannot be found.
Therefore, the deal was concluded, and both parties, oh no, probably including General Luan of Si Sheng Guan, all three parties felt that they had taken a big advantage.
For the people of Sanlibu, it would be painful to take out five thousand war horses, and even hurt their muscles and bones, which would affect their combat effectiveness. But for them, the powerful tribes around them would either be wiped out by them, or they would be killed by the Dongxia people.
The chariots caused heavy casualties, so the status of the Sanli tribe not only did not decline, but became more stable. With this batch of food, they can recruit and annex the other tribes in the winter, and continue to use economic warfare to go crazy.
expansion.
For the Snake-Eating Army, they got five thousand high-quality war horses in exchange for hundreds of baggage carts, five hundred horsemen who served as bodyguards for the grain transport team for two to three months, and about a thousand who could stand up to the sky.
Worthless head! You don’t have to pay for all of it yourself. This is truly a waste of money!
For General Luan of Sisheng Pass, the heads of five hundred Dongxia people can already be said to have a brilliant record. If five hundred people were beheaded, the battle report could even say that they had killed five thousand enemies! Defeated fifty thousand enemies! Let alone one.
Thousands of kills? Such a record is enough to make him go further.
What? Are you talking about those hundreds of thousands of stones of grain? Don’t worry about it. Sisheng Pass is a powerful pass and has the ability to be transported and stored. Therefore, the grain in it must be at least several million stones. What are you afraid of if you have less than a few hundred thousand stones?
What's more, this thing doesn't belong to him. All Lao Luan paid was to set fire to a few granaries and then arrest three or five unlucky people who were corrupt. For a commander-in-chief, this kind of thing is nothing.
Without the military exploits of hundreds of heads, it is really not worth mentioning!!
This thing is simple to say, but in fact, it requires people to be busy without touching the ground, and there are not many people in Sanlibu who understand these internal affairs--even though it is summer, at this time in Sanlibu
We have to arrange a place to spend the winter. Because so much grain has been transported here, why should it be allowed to be exposed to the sun and rain and get moldy outside? So we must build a granary! Once the granary is built, do we need to have people guard it? How to prevent fire and theft? Many aspects have to do.
You have to take it into consideration.

However, there were too few talents in this field, so Lin Fengjin could only spend more time on it. By the time all these things were completed, it had been a full week, and the Snake-Eating Army had already set off, but still
They kept their promise and left five hundred people as bodyguards to transport the food. If the food was not finished in one day, they would continue to shoulder the responsibility of escorting them.
Of course, Lin Fengjin did not forget to ask people from the Snake-Eating Army to send a message. Naturally, he brought it to Mr. Jiuyuan and Mr. Yangming. He reported to them that he was safe, and then said that he was still recovering from his injuries and that he had recovered from his injuries.
Then come back to the academy.
After everything was settled, Lin Fengjin finally took a rest. After a good sleep, he lay lazily on the lounge chair and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. After taking a nap, he reached out and called for company.
The wolf beside him said:
"I remember that the people from Doribe were recruited and went to the Eastern Xia people, right?"
Lang Tu said solemnly:
"That's right, we met a lot of familiar faces among the prisoners we captured. Seeing the faces of these traitors makes me sick! You actually want to be a personal guard? They are in the first grade of junior high school, but we are not allowed to be in the fifteenth grade? I
I didn’t accept any of them, they all went to work as herd slaves for me!”
Lin Fengjin pondered for a moment and said:
"Where's Agude?"
Langtu was stunned and said:
"He was with the Dongxia people. If he resisted with his archery skills, a lot of people would probably die, but strangely he didn't fight back. For the sake of the clan leader, we gave him a
Living alone in a tent, Jeanne brought several women to serve him."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"I understand, take me to see him."
Langtu was stunned and said:
"I'll call for some security."
Lin Fengjin said:
"No."
At this time, Lin Fengjin's authority in the Sanli tribe was no less than that of Linde. Even the unruly Langtu didn't dare to say anything after saying one sentence, so he could only take Lin Fengjin to Agude's place.
When Lin Fengjin saw Agude, the old man was standing on the grassy slope nearby, bent over, hands behind his back, looking at the prosperous Sanlibu with complex eyes, silent.
He heard the sound of Lin Fengjin moving, turned around, looked over, and said in a hoarse voice:
"You are still worried after all and are you going to take my life?"
Lin Fengjin looked around and said to the rest of the people:
"You guys step back, I have something to say to the Arrow God."
Agude was surrounded by two or three young people at this time. The prestige of the Arrow God was still very impressive. After hearing Lin Fengjin's words, the two or three young people glared at him, obviously coming from Duoli.
They were captured over there.
After Lang Tu saw Lin Fengjin, he had already respected Lin Fengjin like a god. Immediately, his eyes flashed with fierceness. He drew his sword and slashed at him with one blow. One of the young men could only roll away and ran away, looking very nervous.
Embarrassed, he was about to speak, but Agude sighed and said:
"Go away. If they want to harm me, they don't have to go to such trouble."
Soon, the area was cleared. Lin Fengjin sat down on the stool in front of Agude and said calmly:
"With your archery skills, you should be the captain of the Imperial Guard passed down from ancient Western Qin, right?"
