Chapter 592: Zhang Yan asks for help

How much is Zhang Yan's total strength now? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhao Feng estimated that even Zhang Yan himself was not very clear.

Zhang Yan originally led an army of more than 100,000 and invaded Qingzhou.

After attacking the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in Jibei Kingdom, there were more than 300,000 people, and the people were even more than million.

These Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were originally meant to converge with the Montenegrin Army.

Since Zhang Yan invaded Qingzhou, they naturally retreated to Qingzhou.

As a result, the Qingzhou Army, which originally belonged to Cao Cao, now went to Zhang Yan.

Moreover, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was originally born in the Yellow Turban.

As the identity of the Montenegrin Army, it is not too easy to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

So now even Zhang Yan himself has no way of knowing how many troops the Black Mountain Army has.

With so many soldiers and civilians, don't consume food too quickly.

If one is not done well, Zhang Yan will be dragged down by these Qingzhou yellow scarves.

It is calculated according to the 80,000 army before Zhao Feng.

The annual consumption of military rations is about 1.2 million stones.

If it's a battle, it will reach about 1.8 million stones!

Zhang Yan was originally more than twice as much as Zhao Feng.

In addition, it took the initiative to attack Qingzhou.

Then the food consumption of the Montenegrin army is about 3.6 million stone a year.

Now it has collected 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and more than 1 million Qingzhou Yellow Turban people.

This is just an initial conservative estimate, and it could actually be more.

Calculate according to this data.

Zhang Yan's army needs more than 6.6 million stone of grain a year, and the people need more than 600,000 stone of grain a year.

That adds up to more than 12 million stone grains.

Zhao Feng felt terrible when he thought about it.

Such an exaggerated food consumption, at Zhao Feng's current level, is simply not able to survive.

Not to mention Zhang Yan.

Of course, if the rations of the military and civilians are deducted, it may delay a little.

After all, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban army and civilians could not have eaten enough every day.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to join the Black Mountain Army.

Therefore, Zhao Feng felt that if the grain of Julu County and Wei County was taxed, it could not be transported to Qingzhou to support Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is likely to not be able to support it for even a month.

Zhao Feng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Send someone to relay Zhang Yan's message to Zheng Gu." ”

"At the very least, we must also prepare the grain taxes of Julu County and Wei County in advance."

"As for how to transport the grain to Qingzhou."

"We're trying to figure it out!"

Zhao Yun arched his hand: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he withdrew from the big tent.

After Zhao Yun left, Zhao Feng began to think about this problem carefully.

But come to think of it, it's not an easy job.

If you want to transport grain to Qingzhou, you need to open up Qinghe Country.

And Qinghe Country currently has Lu Bu stationed at the boundary bridge.

In other words, if you want to transport grain to Qingzhou, you need to defeat Lu Bu's troops first.

Then the question returns to the focus of the previous discussion with Guan Jing.

But how could Lu Bu be so easy to attack?

Zhao Feng felt that if Lu Bu didn't take the initiative to attack him, he should burn incense and pray.

Of course, because of the stubborn troops stationed in Qingyuan, Lu Bu would not act rashly.

But if Zheng Gu led the army and went to escort the grain team, then it was difficult to say whether Lu Bu would attack Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and looked at Xiong Da: "Xiong Da." ”

"Go and call Dian Wei."

Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”

After saying that, he withdrew from the big tent.

Not for a while.

Dian Wei walked into the big tent and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "I've seen the lord!" ”

"What is the so-called matter when the Lord summons me here?"

After Dian Wei finished speaking, Xiong Dacai followed into the big tent, walked directly to Zhao Feng's side, and stood still.

Zhao Feng nodded: "There is indeed one thing that you need to handle." ”

"Starting tomorrow, you will lead the headquarters."

"Go to the vicinity of the boundary bridge and dig a lot of horseshoe pits!"

"Remember to be careful when acting, don't be discovered by Lu Bu's sentinels."

Dian Wei arched his hand: "Huh! ”

"However, my troops, except for me and a few generals above Sima and above, who have war horses, the rest of the soldiers are all foot soldiers."

"Even if we find Lu Bu's sentry horse, there is nothing we can do!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "I know." ”

"I will leave this matter to Zhao Yun or Hua Xiong to deal with."

"When you dig horseshoe pits, you should also be careful."

Dian Wei performed a non-standard military salute: "The last general takes the order!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and withdrew from the big tent.

Wait for Dian Wei to leave.

Zhao Feng pondered for a while and looked at Xiong Da: "Go and call Zhao Yun." ”

Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”

After saying that, he withdrew from the big tent.

Less than a cup of tea.

Xiong Da and Zhao Yun walked into the big tent together.

Xiong Da returned to his place.

Zhao Yun bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Brother, do you have something to order?" ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "There is indeed something, I want you to deal with it." ”

"Tomorrow, I will ask Dian Wei to lead the troops to the vicinity of the boundary bridge and dig a large number of horseshoe pits."

"In order not to be discovered by Lu Bu's sentry."

"Tomorrow you lead the troops to the other side of the river to attract the attention of the Lu Bu Sentinel."

"By the way, keep an eye out for the sentry riders around Lu Bu."

"We can't let Lu Bu's sentry come to our side to find out the news that Dian Wei has dug a horseshoe pit."

Zhao Yun gave a military salute: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

After saying that, he withdrew from the big tent.

Wait for Zhao Yun to leave.

Zhao Feng pondered for a while.

Turning his head to look at Xiong Da: "Xiong Da." ”

"Go and call Guo Jia."

I thought for a moment: "Forget it, you ran twice in a row." ”

"This time, I'm going to have a guard outside the account."

Then he shouted outside the account: "Someone! ”

A personal guard walked into the big tent and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "What does the lord command?" ”

Zhao Feng said directly: "Go and call Guo Jia!" ”

The guard arched his hand: "Oh! ”

After saying that, he withdrew from the big tent.

Less than a cup of tea.

Guo Jia walked into the big tent and waved at Zhao Feng: "I've seen Zhao Thorn History!" ”

"Zhao Tingshi called me here, what is the so-called matter?"

Zhao Feng directly told Zhang Yan about the lack of food, Lu Bu blocking the road, and sending Dian Wei to dig the horseshoe pit.

After finishing speaking, he asked, "Is there a good way to be filial piety?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment: "General Zhao Assassin Shi Paidian, what is the purpose of digging the horseshoe pit?" ”

Zhao Feng sighed: "Lu Bu fought bravely. ”

"We are at war with Lu Bu and we don't have much advantage."

"If we fight hard, our army may be lost!"

"So dig the horseshoe pit first, as long as Lu Bu's cavalry is defeated."

"Our chances of winning will increase dramatically."

Guo Jia thoughtfully: "What Zhao Tingshi means. ”

"In order to help the Zhenggu Department, we can transport grain to Qingzhou so that we can rush to help Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army."

"So Zhao Tingshi is going to fight against Lu Bu with his current army?"

Zhao Feng nodded: "That's pretty much what it means." ”

"But I think it's too bad for us to fight with Lu Bu."

"So, I want to see if there is a better way to be filial piety!"
