Chapter 538: Target Wuhuan
Although Liu Bei's army was careful to keep a distance, they were blocked by Hu Yi. It was just a little surprise that Liu Bei's army of hundreds of thousands actually only had 40,000 or 50,000 left, but there were many flags, and there were indeed more than a dozen from a distance. Wan's appearance, in fact, more than half of the people have long since died.
This group of people had no morale at all, they were just a group of soldiers who were replaced by military planes. Upon seeing this situation, Hu Yi did not use the explosive arrow, but just charged with 30,000 cavalry, and completely defeated the group. Miscellaneous soldiers.
In fact, that group of miscellaneous soldiers were not ready to fight at all. As soon as they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, they immediately lost their weapons and surrendered, letting Hu Yi pick up a big advantage in vain. Of course, it can also be said to be a big burden.
There are nearly 50,000 prisoners, but there is only one day of food and grass left. If they hadn't encountered the team that was outflanked by Hu Yi, maybe tomorrow, this group of miscellaneous soldiers would take the initiative to surrender to Li Yunfei's camp and become prisoners. These people were cleaned up by Liu Bei. Some of those who came out were unwilling to go outside, some were too disciplined, and some were too weak...
"Why are you moving so fast?" When Li Yunfei arrived in a hurry, he found that the tiger had done everything.
"My lord, Liu Bei played a trick to escape, and the main force has already left."
"Are those prisoners deliberately kept by Liu Bei?"
"Exactly, the last commander has already asked, that Liu Bei began to send troops and horses to leave a few days ago. It should be outside the customs. As for where they will go, these prisoners really don't know."
"This Liu Bei is really a thief, he actually left us a big burden and ran out of the gate himself!"
"Then are we still chasing?"
"I can't catch up now, and there's no need to catch up. It's also a good thing for Liu Bei to spread my Chinese civilization outside the customs."
"Then what to do with these prisoners?"
"It is obviously not suitable to stay in the military camp, it will increase a lot of logistical burden. It is not good to let it go directly. I am not sure that these people will become bandits who rob houses, making it much more difficult for us to manage the place in the future. We can only **** to the rear. Go, you can only use it after receiving training, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of our army!"
What made Huyi a little depressed was that because he captured the prisoner, he had to **** the prisoner back to the south. Fortunately, Li Yunfei still let him bring 30,000 elite soldiers, and there was also a big battle near Xuzhou. If you hurry up, you may be able to grab a lot of credit, **** the prisoners and participate in the war without delay, and even go north after the enemy in Xuzhou has been dealt with...
...
Every night after night falls, Li Yunfei, who is used to sleeping late, will light the lamp and carefully plan his future action. Since he does not have the wisdom to defy the sky, in this Three Kingdoms where talents are born in large numbers, of course, he needs to make up for his lack of diligence. Qiao always stayed silently on the side until Li Yunfei finished his plan.
"General Liu Bei went outside the pass, and I heard that the Xianbei people are very cruel, so will Liu Bei go south to invade the Central Plains?" Seeing Li Yunfei put down his pen, Xiao Qiao said his thoughts.
"Well, if Liu Bei really dares to do this, I'll cut off his head myself!" Li Yunfei replied domineeringly, and continued: "However, even though Liu Bei is a thief, he shouldn't be able to do it. It is the matter of foreign races harming the Central Plains.”
"Then where are we going next?"
"Go to Wuhuan first, and get that Gongsun Du. Then, that guy actually sent his son to attack our territory. He must take the lead!" The rest of the places are taken over by the subordinates one by one. This Gongsun Du It can be regarded as a hegemon, but it is better to take control of it by yourself.
"Ah, the general is going to attack places outside the customs. Haven't you thought about the logistical pressure? It's a long way to go, and our fleet will consume more and more food and grass, and Gongsun Du, who has occupied Liaodong for many years, is definitely not weak. , after the fight, the consumption will be a little bigger..." I thought it was just to block the pass to prevent the enemy from going south, but I didn't expect Li Yunfei to take the initiative to attack, Xiao Qiao was really worried, she also read a lot of military books, this logistics The security can't keep up, but it is troublesome at first sight, especially the repeating crossbow of the new army is powerful, but the consumption is also very large.
"Why are you so nervous? Come and sit down and listen to me slowly!" Seeing Xiao Qiao's worried appearance, she directly pulled the person into her arms.
"General, I'm serious. I counted the food and forage delivered today. Only 70% of the food and grass left, and 30% of them were all consumed on the road." Although Li Yunfei was pulled into his arms, Xiao Qiao was still She still said very seriously, she is now in charge of logistical support, so she must remind Li Yunfei.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements... Girl, have you heard of Penglai's naval base?" Seeing her nervous look, Li Yunfei finally stopped hiding it.
"Of course I've heard of the naval base, but it's only been built for a few months, and the navy has not yet formed a combat capability, and the general said that the navy is not for naval warfare, and this attack on Wuhuan can't help... Could it be that the general Are you going to let the navy deliver grain?" Xiao Qiao suddenly thought of the feasibility of shipping.
"It's really clever. In fact, when we go to Wuhuan, we only need to occupy a small place there, and then directly let the navy send us supplies. The naval training is not long, but it's no problem to deliver the supplies!"
"...It turns out that the general began to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan more than half a year ago. The slave family is really stupid." Xiao Qiao suddenly realized.
"That's not true. I just planned it for the future. I didn't expect it to be used so quickly!"
It is very convenient to transport things from Penglai to the vicinity of Qinhuangdao. It is in the inland sea, and there is not much wind and waves. The small sea boat of more than 200 to 300 tons made by myself is still very safe.
The current land transportation is really inconvenient. The efficiency of sea transportation will be dozens of times higher than that of land transportation. One shipment is enough for a hundred thousand troops to eat for ten days and a half months.
"The general has no last resort, but the slave family has to continue to talk about it, I hope the general is not to blame."
"No wonder, no wonder, do you still have any concerns, let me hear it?"
"General, although we had a bumper harvest of food last year, but after so many refugees poured in, it was still quite tight. If the general went on an expedition outside the customs, the consumption would be huge, and would it cause food shortages in the country?" There are certain limitations. Now Li Yunfei's sphere of influence is officially hoarding food. She knows that there is a war inside, and there is a war in the south.
"Little Qiao is really thinking too much. In fact, when a large number of refugees went south, I also racked my brains to find a way to get more food. Simply buying food from the south is not the way to go, so after thinking hard for a long time, I finally found it. A new food source has been developed, and as long as it is well developed, it can satisfy the rations of millions of people.”
"...There is such a good thing?"
"Yes, in the endless sea, the food is not just fish, there are other huge amounts of food, such as seaweed..."
"Is that the kind of dark dish the General used to make egg soup last time?"
"Yes!"
"Can that be eaten for dinner?"
"Of course it's possible, but it will be combined with other grains and turned into powder at the end of the year to make a kind of nutritious dry food! This kind of dry food has already been made at the naval base in Penglai The taste is very good. , crunchy and delicious, nutritionally balanced, and easy to eat..." Li Yunfei boasted of a multigrain biscuit he made himself.
"...I'm really unfounded. Am I being too wordy, General?" Xiao Qiao blamed herself a little.
"How come, no matter what thoughts and concerns you have in the future, you must say them!"
"Does that mean I'm blowing the pillow wind?"
"Well, maybe, but I like..."
"Thank you, the general is the best person in the world!" Xiao Qiao leaned on Li Yunfei's shoulder very intimately, and rubbed her face against Li Yunfei's face a few times.
"Of course, it's actually hard to find men better than me!"
"...General, is it possible to take a rest when it's late at night?" Although he said that he had been in the same bed for several days, he had done almost all the things he could and couldn't do, but every time he said it, he was still a little shy. At Xiao Qiao's call, Li Yunfei of course picked up someone and went to bed without saying a word.
