After Xinpi mentioned that, he retreated. Xu you bought up and mentioned, “earlier than you reply the query of the eldest son, let me let you know an intelligence that after the battle subsequent 12 months, there usually are not many troopers within the Tang military to assist the Yan military.”

“There are two causes for this. First, in line with the information from yanlingwei, the main target of the Tang military in recent times has been on the Zhao state in Bingzhou. This 12 months, the king of the Tang Dynasty ought to have taken all of the land of Shangjun and Henan, and subsequent 12 months, he ought to be able to assault the Zhao state.”

“Second, with the efforts of the nice Honglu xunzhen, the state of Qi and the state of Wu have each agreed to unite with our nation to cope with the Tang military. At the moment, the armies of Qi and Wu will make the transfer of Chen Bing on the Tang border to include the Tang military. Due to this fact, even when the state of Tang is sending troops to rescue, there is not going to be too many troopers out there within the two counties of Hanoi Shangdang.”

After they heard the phrases, all of them nodded.

“Sir, I have not answered the query simply now.” Gaogan, the governor of Changshan, requested;

“as for the primary spherical of grain harvest this 12 months, what you must let you know is that so long as you seize Jicheng, it isn’t an issue.” Xu you laughed after which slowly replied,

“ah?” All of the generals had been confused and checked out Xu you with doubts.

Wen Chou is extra anxious to shout: “Sir, do not tease us, come on…”

After paying sufficient consideration to the style of the folks, Xu you mentioned, “have you learnt how a lot cash and meals Gongsun Zan has gathered in Jicheng?”

Everybody shook their heads.

“There are 200 stones of grain!”

When folks heard this, they had been all surprised. , with ten thousand elite troopers, the annual grain provide was solely 180000 stones. In different phrases, the grain provide of Jicheng alone was sufficient for 100 and ten thousand troopers.

“I will be good!”

“My God

“No, the place does Gongsun Zan get a lot meals?”

Wanting on the chaos within the corridor, Yuan Shao coughed softly, and everybody instantly calmed down. One after the other, they checked out Xu you with huge eyes, and wrote a couple of phrases of disbelief on every face.

Xu you mentioned with a smile: “chances are you’ll not imagine it, however what I wish to let you know is that it has been repeatedly confirmed by yanlingwei. There are solely two million stones greater than that. As for the place the grain comes from, let me let you know, Gongsun Zan has collected it from the next counties. These days, besides Jicheng, there are numerous grain and grass within the state of Yan. For instance, the grain in Yuyang metropolis is simply 200000 stone, which is simply sufficient for Gongsun Yue, the prefect of Yuyang, to keep up 20000 prefectures and troopers for half a 12 months, whereas the grain and grass within the counties of western Liaoning in youbeiping are even much less. ”

After listening to this, everybody out of the blue realized that Gongsun Zan had emptied all of the meals in different counties. No marvel Jicheng had a lot meals.

“Along with a considerable amount of grain, there are numerous gold and silver treasures within the palace of King Yan in Jicheng. As well as, there are additionally numerous treasures within the properties of the three righteous brothers of King Yan in Jicheng. Due to this fact, we solely want to overcome Jicheng. Even when the Tang military destroys all of the grain of the entire Wei state subsequent 12 months, we aren’t afraid.” Xu you mentioned triumphantly;

taking a look at Xu you’s look, though everyone knows that what he mentioned is just too exaggerated, we’re nonetheless frightened by the sum of money and meals saved in Jicheng.

……

After a very long time, many individuals reacted from the shock. Yuan Tan requested once more, “is it simply that the state of Qi and the state of Wu will actually ship troops to include the Tang military?”

“Don’t be concerned, younger grasp.” This time, it was Da Honglu Xun Chen who mentioned, “the king of Qi and the king of Wu additionally perceive the ambition of the Tang state. If our three households don’t unite to suppress the event of the Tang state, it is not going to take a couple of years. The primary ones to undergo losses have to be the state of Qi and the state of Wu. Our nation has a big territory, numerous folks, and adequate cash and meals. The military of Tang actually doesn’t dare to disregard the tiger’s whiskers, however the state of Qi and the state of Wu are totally different.”

When Yuan Tan heard the speech, he nodded his approval.

Xun Chen additionally mentioned: “in addition to, the king has agreed that after the nice Wei managed Youzhou, he’ll provide 20000 battle horses to the state of Qi and 10000 battle horses to the state of Wu yearly. It’s unimaginable for the state of Tang to supply so many battle horses to others simply. The state of Wu is OK. Now it has an excellent relationship with the state of Tang. It will probably purchase greater than a thousand battle horses yearly, however the state of Qi cannot get horses both. ”

After listening to Xun Chen’s phrases, yuan and Tan put their hearts again into their abdomen. The connection between international locations is maintained by pursuits. Whether it is unprofitable, Cao Cao and Solar Quan cannot danger the Tang Dynasty’s sending troops to assault, and Chen Bing’s border will probably be closed.

When everybody was relieved, Yuan Shao mentioned, “now all of the ministers have understood the preparations for subsequent 12 months, so to any extent further, all of the counties must be ready. Along with making ready cash and meals to assist subsequent 12 months’s battle, additionally they must step up the coaching of troops, strengthen the town protection, and forestall the Tang military from attacking.”

“We honor the king’s order All of them agreed in unison;

“OK, you continue to have one thing to play!” Yuan Shao nodded his head after which requested;

Guanglu Xun rose up when Ji Chang was in cost, and mentioned, “king, please take note of one factor, that’s, the black mountain thief. Though we have not seen any information about him for a very long time, I feel it is simple to vary the nation and the character is difficult to vary.

At first, the folks fled as a result of there was not sufficient meals for the black mountain military. Then simply after the Tang military occupied the Shangdang, with a view to stabilize the Shangdang scenario, they mobilized numerous meals into the Shangdang, after which there started to be a wave of refugees. At the moment, there have been solely scattered folks strolling on the mountain street Within the second 12 months, the variety of folks getting into the Shangdang will probably be much more.

Quite the opposite, after eradicating the burden of numerous refugees, it’s mentioned that Zhang Yan’s troops have additionally been adjusted, identical to these of the world’s vassals, and have educated 1000’s of elite troopers. ”

“Oh, so we ought to be extra on guard in opposition to black mountain thieves?” Xinpi street;

“Lord Xin would not have to fret. In response to the information from Yanling guards, after Zhang Yan’s troops are adjusted, there are solely 10000 troopers, whereas the remainder of the troops nonetheless preserve the unique scenario. It is OK to harass the encompassing counties with their power. It is unimaginable to ship troops to assault the town and plunder the land.” Xu you shook his head and denied
