After Xinpi said, Xu You got up and replied, "Before You answer the question of the eldest son, let me tell you some information, that is, after the war next year, the Tang army does not have many soldiers and horses to support the Yan army. "

"There are two reasons for saying this. One is that according to the news from Yanlingwei, Tang Jun's focus in recent years has been placed on the Zhao State in Bingzhou. The land of Henan should be ready to attack Zhao Kingdom next year."

"Secondly, thanks to the efforts of Master Dahongxunxun Chen, both Qi and Wu have agreed to unite with our country to deal with the Tang army. At that time, the Qi and Wu armies will make Chen Bing and Tang's border actions to contain them. The Tang State Army, so even if Tang State sends troops to rescue, Hanoi's Shangdang two counties will not have too many soldiers available."

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.

"Sir hasn't answered the question of the old man yet." Changshan prefect Gao Gan asked;

"As for the big young man's worries, nothing more than the first round of this year's grain harvest. What You want to tell you is that as long as you take Jicheng, all this is not a problem." Xu You smiled. Only then slowly answered;

"Huh?" The generals were all confused, looking at Xu You with all doubts.

Wen Chou even yelled anxiously: "Mr. Xiu is going to play with us, come on quickly..."

After catching everyone’s taste, Xu You said in a hurry: “Everyone knows, in Jicheng, how much money Gongsun Zan has accumulated?”

Everyone shook their heads.

"There are two hundred stones for food!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. You must know that for 10,000 elite soldiers and infantry, there is only 180,000 shi for a year of food. In other words, Jicheng’s food alone is enough for 110,000 soldiers. need.

"I'm a good boy!"

"Oh my God!"

"No, where does Gongsunzan get so much food?"

Seeing the chaos in the hall, Yuan Shao coughed softly, and everyone immediately calmed down, staring at Xu You with wide-eyed eyes, all of them writing disbelief.

Xu You smiled and said: "The princes may find it unbelievable, but what I want to tell everyone is that this has been confirmed by Yan Lingwei again and again. Two million stones are only a lot more, as for where the food comes from. Yes, let me tell you all, they were all collected by Gongsun Zan from the counties below. Today, in Yan Kingdom, except for the large amount of grain and grass in Jicheng, the rest of the counties and counties have little grain. Like Yuyang City, there is nothing but grain. Two hundred thousand stones is only enough for Yuyang Prefect Gongsun Yue to maintain the 20,000 prefectures for half a year, while the food and grass for the counties in the west of Beiping and Liaoning are even less."

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized that Gongsun Zan had emptied the grains of other counties. It is no wonder that Jicheng will have so much grain.

"In addition to a large amount of food, there are countless treasures of gold and silver in the palace of King Yan in Jicheng, and the three righteous brothers of King Yan also have countless treasures in the house in Jicheng, so , We only need to capture Jicheng, even if the Tang army destroys all the grain of the entire Wei state next year, we are not afraid." Xu You said triumphantly;

Looking at Xu You's appearance, although everyone knew that what he said was too exaggerated, everyone was still frightened by the amount of money and food saved in Jicheng.

...

After a long time, everyone reacted from the shock, Yuan Tan asked again: "It's just that Qi and Wu will really send troops to contain the Tang army?"

"Don’t worry, Dahongzi." This time Dahongxun Chen said: "Qi and Wu also understand Tang’s ambitions. If the three of us do not unite to suppress Tang’s development, it will take a few years for the first to suffer. It was Qi State and Wu State. I am a big country with a large population of people and sufficient money and food. Tang Jun certainly did not dare to lightly tie the tiger's beard, but Qi State and Wu State were not ordinary."

Yuan Tan heard this and nodded his approval.

Xun Chen said again: "Besides, the king has agreed that after Wei Wei takes control of Youzhou, we will supply 20,000 war horses to Qi and 10,000 war horses to Wu every year. With so many war horses, it is impossible for Tang to easily provide others. Fortunately, Wu State has a good relationship with Tang State, and can buy more than a thousand war horses every year, but Qi State cannot get a horse."

After listening to Xun Chen's words, everyone in Yuan Tan put their hearts back in their stomachs. The relationship between countries is maintained by interests. If it is unprofitable, Cao Cao and Sun Quan could not risk enticing Tang to send troops to attack the border between the two countries.

When everyone was relieved, Yuan Shao said: "The officials now understand the arrangements for next year, so from now on, all counties and counties need to make preparations. In addition to preparing money and food to support the war next year, It is also necessary to step up the training of soldiers and horses, strengthen the city defense, and prevent the Tang army from attacking."

"We respect the king's life!" everyone agreed in unison;

"Okay, the officials still have something to play!" Yuan Shao nodded and asked again;

Guangluxun stood up at Ji's long body, and went out and said: "Majesty, there is one thing I would like to pay attention to, and that is the matter of the Black Mountain thief. Although it has not been seen for a long time, the Weichen thought The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, so please pay more attention to the king."

Upon hearing the words, Yuan Shao nodded, then turned to look at Xu You again.

Xu You understood what he meant, and stood up and said: "Return to the king, the Black Mountain thief has indeed been quiet a lot. According to Yan Lingwei's return, there has been no sign of sending troops in recent times. However, the Black Mountain Army has been under the control of Many people fled from the lower level, but most of them fled to Tang State through the Shangdang."

"Oh," Guo Tu and Xinpi both had their hearts moved when they heard the words. The two looked at each other, and Guo Tu got up and said, "My lord, is there anything strange in this matter?"

Xu You shook his head: "I have reported the matter to the king, and Yan Lingwei has also investigated again and again. Initially, the people fled because the Black Mountain Army did not have enough food. Then just after the Tang Army occupied the Shangdang, in order to stabilize the Shangdang situation, After mobilizing a large amount of food to enter the Shangdang, a wave of refugees began to appear. In the past, only scattered people took the mountain road to enter the Shangdang, and the number increased in the second year. However, the main force of the Montenegrin army But it was not affected. On the contrary, after removing the drag of a large number of refugees, it is said that Zhang Yan's troops and horses have also been adjusted, just like today's soldiers and horses of the princes, they have trained thousands of elites."

"Oh, so, should we be more alert to the Black Mountain thief?" Simpi said;

"Master Xin doesn't have to worry. According to the news from Yan Lingwei, after Zhang Yan's troops were adjusted, there were only 10,000 soldiers, while the rest of the troops remained in their original situation. Use their strength to harass the surrounding counties. The county is okay, if troops are sent to attack the city and land, it is still impossible." Xu You shook his head and denied;
