……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Heng Zhan was a cautious person, and he suggested that Lü Zhe ask the battalion in Jiangling to send troops to kill Baiyue, saying that he was willing to send troops with Lü Zhe only after obtaining approval.
Prudent people will give people a sense of trust, Lu Zhe originally wanted to ask for instructions, and Heng Zhan immediately made a joint request as soon as he said it. What they wrote was very detailed, for what they wanted to do, what benefits they could do for what they did, everything was clearly written. Lu Zhe even mentioned a few strokes in the content, linking this military operation with the success or failure of the training, and did not write about grain and grass, after all, no one knew how much food the Baiyue people had, but said that he wanted to rely on several small-scale killings of Baiyue to train the soldiers who were training.
In the following, Lu Zhe fully realized what it was like to be very paranoid when he was cautious. Some people don't look like people when they are cautious, such as Heng Zhan.
It was not out of distrust of the early scouts, but just to confirm the authenticity of the information, as well as the prediction of the battle situation, Heng Zhan went to investigate in person like a paranoid, and disappeared for several days without consulting Lu Zhe in advance.
Originally, it was okay to have someone to share the burden, but Lu Zhe, who completely took over the military affairs of Yiling after Heng Zhan disappeared, instantly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. It is really not a simple matter to manage the food and drink of 80,000 people, especially when there is a shortage of food and grass. In the absence of similar experience before, this strange "Southern Xinjiang Refugee Group" did not have officials such as the long history of the army, and he was almost a little anxious by a series of things.
This group of southern Xinjiang regiments cannot be regarded as an army in a fundamental sense, and it is better to say that it is a group of refugees who have been forcibly escorted to the south, and the women, children, and the old and weak of these refugees still account for the majority.
Lu Zhe can imagine that if most of the young and middle-aged people were not selected and concentrated in one place, then there would definitely be a big mess in the environment without the bullet pressure of the five thousand orthodox Qin troops. It's hard to predict whether you're fleeing or fighting, or fighting. Now there are fewer main forces who will make trouble, that is, those young adults, who need to deal with eating and drinking every day.
Can you imagine the huge number of 80,000 people eating and drinking every day? According to the quota that Lu Zhe continued during his management, the basic supply of food consumed every day exceeded fifty stone a day, and this was only a porridge that was about the same as clear water at the bottom of the bowl, and he only ate two meals a day!
In the Qin Dynasty, the five grains were already complete, but only four of them were cultivated in the Guanzhong area, such as millet, millet, wheat, and soybean, and the area where rice was planted was very small. In fact, the grains of the northerners are different from those of the southerners, for example, the five grains in the north are hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean, while the five grains in the south are not hemp, and there is rice.
In fact, there was already a species of rice in the Zhou Dynasty, but the areas where rice is cultivated are concentrated in southern regions such as Changsha County and Huiji, the main reason is that rice is extremely dependent on water sources, and it is precisely the south that is the least lacking in water, and the north is not like the south with many water systems, so there is no general environment for planting.
Lu Zhe also recognized what the five grains were after taking over the logistics, and before that, he only knew that there were two kinds of wheat and rice, and it was precisely the main food of the Southern Xinjiang Army that was currently rice, because only the rice of rice was suitable for cooking porridge......
It was probably the sixth day after the disappearance of Heng Zhan, Jiangling sent a reply saying that Yiling was allowed to send troops to exterminate the surrounding Baiyue tribes as appropriate, and along with this letter came five carts of grain and two private letters, according to the amount of ten stones in a two-wheeled vehicle, ten carts is 1,500 catties.
"There are 80,000 mouths here, and more than 1,000 catties are only enough to eat one meal."
The so-called private message is actually two pieces of wood wrapped in cloth, and you don't need to guess to know that Lu Dao is the chief and deputy commander.
Dismantling the first piece of wooden coffin, Lu Zhe saw that the person who left the name on the front of the inscription was Ren Huan, he didn't look at the content and opened the second piece of wooden coffin, and the person who left the name was indeed Tu Sui.
After reading the two pieces of wood quickly, Ren Huan was asking about the situation of military training, and there was no personal matter in the statement. However, using a private message to ask about official affairs, Lu Zhe guessed that Ren Huan was using this to send a warning. Tu Sui in the other wooden coffin simply asked Lu Zhe to train his troops well, and he would find a way to provide some grain and grass, and the fifty stone grain was only the first batch, and it would be sent later as appropriate.
From the two different contents of Mu Chun, you can judge the character of Tu Sui and Ren Huan, obviously Ren Huan is selfish and lacks self-confidence, but he is testing it for less than ten days. And Tu Sui seems to only see the overall situation, and really hopes that the two people who stay in Yiling can make some achievements.
Lu Zhe replied one by one, and his letter to Ren Huan talked about trivial matters in life, and did not mention official business at all. In his reply to Tu Sui, he introduced the training of the troops, and had great expectations for this military operation, and vaguely proposed that he wanted to use the extermination of the Baiyue tribe as one of the ways to obtain military rations.
Is this pedaling two boats? Lu Zhe didn't think so, he was just trying his best to create a developable environment, and he really didn't think about it so much. What he cares about is why Heng Zhan hasn't come back for so long, it can't be killed by Baiyue, right?
Everyone thinks that being a superior person is very beautiful and has power, and Lu Zhe used to think so. But now he really doesn't look at it that way. As a "steward", there are a lot of things to deal with, and the number of wooden trees approved every day is counted as hundreds, and this is only 80,000 people. In addition, there will be additional things to add after taking charge of a place, that is, whether you want to or not, you will encounter the choice and response of "taking sides". Oh, and if you put it professionally, you would call it "political socializing".
But then again, those are essential if you want to succeed, and Lu Zhe, who gradually gained experience, began to have a concept of management in his heart, and his management team became relatively relaxed after slowly taking shape. To put it bluntly, management is to use all manpower and material resources to set up each link as much as possible to form a cycle. As for doing everything yourself? Is that something that people can do?
From taking over to coping with it easily, this process only took Lu Zhe a month, and Heng Zhan seemed to have really been killed by the Baiyue people, five days, ten days, twenty days, and a month...... There is no news.
On the tenth day, Lu Zhe had already taken measures, and the scouts had more missions to find Heng Zhan in addition to investigating the Baiyue tribe, but there was still no information about Heng Zhan.
On the fifteenth day, Lu Zhe reported the news of Heng Zhan's disappearance to the Jiangling camp, and as a result, an order came from the camp on the same day, making a request for Heng Zhan's whereabouts to "see people alive and see corpses when they die". For the first time, there is one thing in common in the official documents issued by the two chief and deputy commanders, that is, they both use very stiff words, obviously suspecting that Lu Zhe wants to monopolize the overall design and do away with Heng Zhan.
"Nima, I'm more wronged than Chang'e! It's right to invite the troops to encircle and suppress Baiyue, but I didn't ask this fool to investigate in person! Because of Heng Zhan's disappearance, Lu Zhe, who was suspected by the chief and deputy commanders, looked bitter: "That guy won't really be killed by the Baiyue people, right?" ”
Lu Zhe prayed that Heng Zhan would not act in sensational dramas, and come up with a script in which he would die before he could get out of school, otherwise he would definitely be accused of killing his colleagues by the chief and deputy commanders, and then be tied up and escorted to Xianyang.
