Wei and Jin Cooks

Huang An came back with his military family, and Zuo Du's family was also inside. Behind him were dozens of veterans from Xiliang, and their families were among them. As soon as they met, they couldn't help hugging each other. burst into tears.

   Huang An was too surprised. After Zuo had wiped his tears, he slapped him on the shoulder and said, "I want to give you a surprise, how do you know we're back?"

  Huang An returned like an arrow after receiving all the military relatives who were willing to come to Luoyang with him. This time, he not only brought back the military relatives of the Xiliang Army, but also brought back the documents that Zhang Jiuyuan and Zhao Hanzhang watched and helped each other.

   This is an official alliance document, not just casual words, but it is of great significance.

  With this document, Zhao Hanzhang can do more things. For example, she and Zhang Gui have to make sure that the communication and trade routes between the two places are unimpeded.

   Back in Luoyang, Huang An took his military relatives to the Xiliang army barracks, while Zhao Xin took the documents to see Zhao Hanzhang.

   Zhao Hanzhang held this document, his eyes seemed to be shining like the sun.

   She turned her head and asked Ji Yuan, "Is the food we bought back?"

   Ji Yuan looked up at her and said, "I came back this morning, so did the cloth."

   After all, we have to prepare things for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be the next day, so the caravans who went out did not dare to neglect.

   "Okay!" Zhao Hanzhang said: "After the Dragon Boat Festival, let Erlang follow the caravan and let the Yumen Pass always open for us."

   Xin Zhao: "Erlang? Could he be inappropriate?"

   He said: "This is just a caravan. Erlang is now holding the post of Nanyang County Commander. Even if he doesn't dislike it, what the caravan needs are people with a broad mind. Is Erlang not suitable?"

   Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan glanced at him together, Zhao Hanzhang said, "Who said I wanted Erlang to be in charge of the caravan?"

   "I just asked him to take Zhao's army to Chang'an for a walk, and **** the caravan by the way."

   Xin Zhao was embarrassed and found that he was thinking too shallowly.

   Ji Yuan: "How many soldiers and horses does the girl want to give him?"

   "Three thousand from Xin'an, and two thousand from my personal soldiers to give to him."

   Xin Zhao found that he not only thinks lightly, but is also timid.

  5,000 Zhao family troops, or the elite soldiers around Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Erlang, can all defeat Chang'an?

   It is impossible to fight Chang'an, but you can easily take over the cities in the Yongzhou area, and open up business routes at the same time.

   Zhao Hanzhang walked to the map, clicked on the small part of the map and said, "This road is not easy to walk, isn't it?"

Xin Zhao, who had just come over, nodded and said with deep understanding: "There are refugees and bandits everywhere, not to mention ordinary caravans, even larger caravans are difficult to pass through. We are going back because of the protection of the Xiliang Army. They are all elites, so they don’t dare to provoke them.”

   Xin Zhao sighed and said, "Even if a large family of a thousand people migrates together, they may be swept away by refugees and bandits, and then the entire clan will be wiped out."

   He said in a low voice: "I heard that when Luoyang was killed, there were Luoyang nobles who fled westward, with thousands of people, and only about a hundred people survived to Chang'an."

   "The rest were either scattered and became refugees, or died." It was precisely because of seeing such a tragic situation that Xin Zhao felt a chill in his heart, and he always felt that he had seen Zhao's future. …

   The Zhao clan is even bigger than that clan, but how big is it? If they can't keep Yuzhou, the Zhao clan will have to flee one day, and they may also be separated on the road.

   Zhao Hanzhang was not sad, looked at this section of the road in deep thought, and said after a while: "Occupy it all!"

  Ji Yuan said: "But we don't have enough money and food, and with so many cities, we need a lot of troops and horses to garrison, and we are short of manpower."

Don't look at the fact that there are four large armies stationed around Luoyang. In fact, there are not many. Such a large piece of land has nearly one million people at its most prosperous time. That's it.

   Among them, there are only 30,000 soldiers and soldiers. If they are scattered, once there is an invasion from other places, the troops and horses in the Yongzhou area cannot quickly return to help.

   Therefore, Ji Yuan does not recommend dispersing his troops.

   "Then don't follow the previous policy to gather refugees and recruit troops," Zhao Hanzhang said hard-heartedly: "Set up barracks along the road, send troops to garrison, and drive away refugees and bandits."

   The cost of raising a soldier and raising a refugee is different. The cost of raising one soldier can help ten refugees.

So this time, she did not recruit troops, nor did she occupy the entire city, and sent troops to garrison, but set up a barracks directly, stationed at two to five bars at one stop, and watched and helped each other between the barracks. The station can help.

   This will cost a lot less.

  Ji Yuan thought for a while and felt that this method could be tried, but, "Where will they be driven?"

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said, "If you are willing to move to Luoyang, we will accept it in Luoyang. If you don't want to, they will either settle on their own, or go to Chang'an or Shu."

"If a barrack only holds five pounds, that's 50 people. This barrack is not easy to set up," Ji Yuan said, "They dare to collide with thousands of gentry. Once they target the barracks, even if our soldiers are all After training, it will not be their opponent."

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "We have recruited a lot of new soldiers during this time. General Bei Gong always said that you can't just train by yourself, you need to see blood. In this case, this road should be used for them to train."

   Zhao felt a chill in his confidence. If the bandits on this road come to train, then a lot of people will die, right?

  In the past, Zhao Hanzhang would choose to capture bandits and enter the army, and directly serve as soldiers, rarely killing people.

   Xin Zhao hesitated.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with bright eyes, "Does the clan brother have a better way?"

   Xin Zhao: "Didn't all the envoys be recruited into the army before? Why did you choose Qing siege this time?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "I need money and food to raise troops. I'm very shy now, so I can only eliminate them rather than collect them. However, if the clan brother has a way to open up the resources, I may be able to set up two more armies."

   That is to say, as long as she has money, she chooses to incorporate rather than eliminate it.

   Xin Zhao lowered his eyes without saying a word, then bowed and stepped back.

  Ji Yuan was stunned, "Make you think he has a solution?"

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Try it, try it without money."

In any case, she first suppressed it, "Please come over here, Xie Shi, this time he and Erlang sent troops together, first of all, he committed the heinous crimes along the way, and accumulated a lot of human life, and the vicious bandits were suppressed, and the rest was left to them. Train slowly."

   It will take a long time to see if Xin Zhao can find a way to open source for the army. Anyway, she and Professor Fu are temporarily helpless.

   They have done everything they can, they have been making money, but they will always spend more than they earn.

  Ji Yuan pondered for a while and said, "In this way, this gentleman Xinlang is more compassionate than Lord Kuanlang."

   "How can you see that Zhao Kuan has a compassionate heart, sir?" Zhao Hanzhang was about to speak when he heard a faint cry from the street.

   Zhao Hanzhang was annoyed, "I knew he was not compassionate at all, why did he come to me and cry again, didn't they ask them to find Zhao Kuan?"

   Ji Yuan did not change his face and said, "Obviously, Zhao Kuan kicked them back again. The girl is right. He has no mercy at all."

   is really inconsiderate to Zhao Hanzhang.
