Chapter 206: Hey, the trouble of too much money
However, it was a bit difficult. Wen hired that guy, the place where he was guarding was only a few hundred miles away from Jiangling. The fast horse arrived in one day, and he could reach Gangneung in two or three days with the army south.
In other words, Liu Feng had to load these things onto the ship within three or four days, and then transport them to Jiangxia. But apparently something impossible.
Descend the river to the summer mouth, and you can get there in one night. But against the current, Liu Feng has been walking for five days this time.
There are so many things, you can't move them all three or four times.
There is such a good opportunity to take away the objects that Liu Biao has accumulated for more than ten years. But because the transportation force is not enough, isn't it sad?
But at this time, there were no ships in the north and south of the Yangtze River. The ferries were burned down by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. The ships on the other side of Xiakou were looted by Liu Feng again. And even if there is a ship, it can't come.
Liu Feng's head is a little big.
No matter what, there was no greed to transport everything away. When the time comes, if you can't fit it, give up those arrows, as well as unimportant tents and utensils.
Only the grain, the horses, and the iron armor were taken away.
When he set off from Xiakou, Liu Feng was already mentally prepared that there were not enough ships and might not be able to transport all the things in Jiangling.
Therefore, Liu Feng quickly put away the troubles in his heart. Isn't there still a few days left, take your time to figure out how to do it first.
Now, the main thing is to go and see how much grain there is. Next year will be the twelfth year of Jian'an, and natural disasters will continue, and the areas south of the Yangtze River will be affected, and not only will there be no harvest at that time, but hundreds of people will have to be displaced.
If you have countless grains in your hands, you can not only provide disaster relief yourself, but also sell it to the Sun family and Liu Biao for disaster relief. It can be said that the current grain is countless times more valuable than these baggage.
As long as you have food in your hand, you can exchange anything for it. Another important thing is the war horse. Weapons, leather armor and so on can be slowly made out by taking advantage of the vast amount of land. But that high-grade war horse is not produced in the entire area south of the Yangtze River.
These two things are the most important.
"Leave a hundred men to guard here. Let's take a look at the granary first, as well as the war horses" Liu Feng quickly put down the general scroll and said to Shi Chang.
"Lord, the granary is nearby, but the ranch is outside the city." Shi Chang was a little embarrassed.
"Where in town?" Liu Feng asked.
"A ranch fifty miles east of the city." Shi Chang replied.
"Go find two Dubs, and take a hundred men to the pastures fifty miles outside the city to receive them, and receive them all, including those soldiers who raise and watch horses." Liu Feng quickly said to Kou Shuidao.
Liu Feng attaches great importance to the war horse, and Liu Feng himself has no professional personnel to take care of the war horse. Although Chaisan got a thousand war horses, as well as some personnel, it was obviously not enough to face five thousand war horses.
Therefore, Liu Fengcai said that he would take everything away.
"No." Kou Shui promised, and immediately turned around and ordered a personal soldier to find two Dubo to lead the team.
After giving the order, Liu Feng turned back to Shi Chang and said, "Now go to the granary." ”
"No." Shi Chang responded and led the way. Of the 500 sailors, 100 went out of the city to the pasture in the east of the city, and 100 guarded the treasury. Liu Feng and Kou Shui, surrounded by three hundred people, went to the granary not far away.
There should also be guards in the granary, but when Liu Feng and the others arrived, they were already empty, probably realizing that something was wrong in the city and fled.
The granary of this era is not like that of later generations. Instead, I store it outside in a container which I wrapped in leather and a bamboo mat, and I cover it with straw.
The entire container is round. It's called 囷.
One can store 3,000 stone of grain.
Liu Feng went to check in the clerical room of the warehouse and found that there were 500 seats in the entire warehouse. That is, there are 1.5 million stone of grain.
Not to mention that the army of 100,000 has been in place for three years, and it will be no problem for five years. It was a waste for that old guy Liu Biao to sit in Jingzhou.
After Liu Feng saw it, his disdain in his heart was even worse.
However, after looking at this number, Liu Feng was even more worried. It was really unexpected that Gangneung had such a huge grain reserve.
With these grains alone, it is difficult for Liu Feng to transport them away at one time. What's more, there are 5,000 war horses, as well as countless mountains of gold, silver, copper, swords and weapons. Tent.
These things, even if they are Cao Ying and Sun Quan, who are sitting on a vast land and have great resources, will be moved when they see it, and they will not hesitate to order them all to be moved.
What's more, it was Liu Feng who was trapped in Jiangxia. But.......
Liu Feng didn't go anywhere, just sat down in the room inside this granary and began to think of a way. You must take it away, and not a single grain of grain can be left behind.
Just when Liu Feng was thinking of a way, Gan Ning, Fang Dao, and Shi Chang's deputy generals all controlled the three city gates one after another, and the sound of fighting in the air had disappeared. The entire Gangneung City has returned to calm.
Gan Ning and Fang Dao each left behind to guard the city gate and came to the granary to look for Liu Feng.
"My lord, I have killed some of the defenders and captured some of them. However, because it was dark, there was no time to count, and I had to wait for Ming to calculate how many people had been captured. In the room, Liu Feng knelt on the main seat, and Gan Ning, Fang Dao, Shi Chang and others knelt on the side seat. Gan Ning reported to Liu Fengyu, and there was some joy in his words.
The quality of an army is important, but so is its quantity. The 3,000 sailors in Xiakou are much worse than the thousands of sailors in Jiangdong. Liu Feng did not allow Gan Ning to conscript. The rationale is that conscription harms the civilian workforce.
Therefore, Ganning can only trap 3,000 sailors, and this time he came to Jiangling to not only loot and measure the grain and grass, but also have soldiers to surrender. It's really worth it.
Gan Ning's mood became very good.
"My lord, my side is also in the same situation as Lord Sima, I have collected some people and killed some people." Fang Dao also reported his achievements.
Liu Feng's head hurt even more. Now it is necessary to transport not only the baggage, but also the pawns. Shi Chang has 1,000 people, and the number of people reported by Gan Ning and Fang Dao Xingchong will definitely not be less than 1,000 people.
Plus 3,000 sailors, that's 5,000 people. And there are six or seven hundred of his ships, so they simply pretend to be manned. Baggage or something, you can throw it away.
Seeing that Liu Feng was not only not happy, but was full of sadness.
Gan Ning asked a little strangely: "Lord, this time Jiangling and his party, almost without bloodshed, went south with two or three thousand soldiers, countless baggage. Silver. If you bring these back, you can instantly increase the military strength of Jiangxia by two percent. Plus food is plentiful. Whether it is to guard against Cao Ren in the north, Sun Quan in the east, or Liu Biao, they all have a great chance of winning. Why doesn't the lord see joy? ”
Liu Feng smiled bitterly, and told Gan Ning everything he saw in the granary and the treasury. After listening to it, Gan Ning also felt incredible.
These things add up to three or five percent more than he imagined. The main thing is arrows, there are a million of them.
"Not counting the war horses, there are at least thousands of war horses outside the city." Liu Feng looked up at the stunned Gan Ning, smiled bitterly, and said.
"It's very difficult to transport it all." Gan Ning understood Liu Feng's embarrassment, frowned and said.
"So think about it." After saying this, Liu Feng slowly stood up and glanced at the people present: "Entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed is not my Liu Feng's style of acting. These things have to be transported away, and we need to find a way. ”
The current conditions were really difficult, and Liu Biao's warships and ferries on the main trunk of the Yangtze River were all burned down. Gan Ning and Liu Feng are the same, how can there be any good way.
However, the so-called collection of the strengths of the people will be able to show the appearance of the people.
Gan Ning reluctantly thought of a solution, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said to Liu Feng: "Does the lord remember Zhang Gu?" ”
Zhang Gu is the Dongting Lake water thief, and he is also Sima, but he belongs to Gan Ning. At present, he is leading dozens of people to take care of Xiakou. And it didn't come with it.
Zhang Gu defeated Huang Shot with him. How could Liu Feng forget. With a move in his heart, Liu Feng understood the meaning of Gan Ning's words.
"Dongting Lake water thieves?" Liu Feng muttered.
"Yes, since Zhang Gu and the lord went to Jiangxia, Dongting Lake has been occupied by the water thief Li Ran, and he currently has two or three thousand thieves and hundreds of ships. Reign supreme in Dongting Lake. Gan Ning told Liu Feng some of the information he had learned.
"No, the water thief's surname is too heavy, if you are greedy, you want to rob Gangneung. It's troublesome. Liu Feng's eyes lit up slightly, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this method would not work.
Li Ran had two or three thousand thieves, and his army was only three or four thousand. The water thieves are so brave and ruthless, if they are not careful, I am afraid that they will capsize in the gutter.
After Gan Ning's plan was vetoed by Liu Feng, there was no good way in his heart. And Shi Chang, there is no good way to house rice.
Several people sat here for half an hour, and they still didn't think of anything.
Liu Feng glanced at the people who were immersed in hard thinking, but couldn't think of a way, sighed and said, "Forget it, sleep first and nourish your spirits." Think about it again. ”
"No." Everyone also knew that they couldn't think of it for a while, so they couldn't help but promise and got up to leave. As for where these people lived, Liu Feng didn't think about it.
Gangneung Fortress is so big, you can always find a good place to live.
After everyone left, Shi Chang stayed. "What's the matter?" Liu Feng asked a little strangely.
"Lord Qi, my family is also considered a prominent clan in Jiangling, with dozens of clansmen. Plus there are hundreds of servants. They are all outside Jiangling City, and now that I have followed the lord, they will naturally migrate to Jiangxia. I beg the Lord to let me go out of the city and tell them to get ready, lest it be too late. Shi Chang pleaded.
"Go ahead." Shi Chang's approach is understandable, how could Liu Feng stop it, nodded and said.
"Thank you, Lord." Shi Chang said gratefully, then turned his head and left in a hurry.
After all these people left, Liu Feng looked at the empty house, sighed and said, "I won't be able to sleep at night." ”
Two or three thousand soldiers, such a huge baggage, so much food. How to get lucky, how to get lucky.
