The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Brother's move is brilliant, Yan admires it!" Lu Yan also reacted and became a little excited.It's just that Liu Tao feels that what he thinks in his heart may be somewhat different from his own purpose and focus.

His purpose is only to be kind and earn some fame. First, he does not take a needle from the people, and then he distributes military rations to the poor and maintains the law and order of the city.To achieve this point, compared with the officers and soldiers of this era, the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" is well-deserved, right?

As for Lu Yan, it is estimated that he only felt compassion for those common people, and at the same time, it doesn't matter if he earns some fame by the way.

"We'll stay here for another day at most. The other counties still need to be recovered slowly, right? There's not much time. Since you think it's smart, why don't you send someone to do it quickly?" Liu Tao immediately urged.

The two of them didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went down to make arrangements.Until the evening, a large amount of food was brought out, and the food that he could fit was packed, and the rest, according to Liu Tao's words, was distributed to the people who couldn't eat enough.

"The general is benevolent and righteous!" The people who received the food couldn't help but praise one after another.

Saying "thank you" ten thousand times is worthless in future generations.But in this era, Liu Tao can really feel the gratitude of these people from the heart.Thinking of his behavior, which was a bit of a show, his conscience ached.

Not only food and grass, but also some arrows and crossbows. This time the siege consumes the most.It was a good shot during the war, but after the war, I counted and used more than half of it, and suddenly felt a little heartbroken.When recycling, one thousand sticks can be recovered and three or four hundred can still be used, and the penetrating power is also worse than the first shot.

Now not only have the replenishment been completed, but some more have been taken. The opponent's archer can't even stand up, let alone shoot, so the arrows and crossbows are cheap for Liu Tao. Seeing the pile of arrows and crossbows in front of him , I was about to laugh out loud.

"Sir, there are three hundred young men who want to join the army..." Just after he recovered, Shangguan Yu unexpectedly brought another piece of good news.

There are 72 young and strong, who are exiles from outside. I heard that [-] people were killed on Liu Tao's side, and they need to be supplemented, so sign up immediately.Not long after, another two hundred young men from Anxi County came to enlist in the army, and Liu Tao was so happy from ear to ear.

Chapter 89 War Economy

"Fame, I have to say, is a good thing!" Liu Tao immediately looked at Lu Yan and the others, and said to them.

"It's because of the brother's kindness that the common people rushed to join him." Lu Yan was indeed convinced. The two of them knew that reputation was important, but they didn't expect that this thing could be cultivated artificially.

Before the krypton gold powerhouse like 'Eight Kitchens' comes out, if you want to be famous these days, you have to make some actual achievements or amazing moves.Then he was appreciated by a county magistrate and promoted to be a county official, and then he had the opportunity to do greater things, and finally promoted Xiaolian.

Liu Tao is so kind, and thanks to the generosity of others, he was able to get a name of benevolence and righteousness in the end, which is really unimaginable.

That is to say, they don't say it, or they are embarrassed to say it directly, otherwise Liu Tao doesn't mind telling them what it means to steal from the rich and help the poor, and what it means to fight... er... forget it, and count those who were present, and deduct Jian Yongdu It is a local gentry.

"Being famous is as early as possible, and gaining fame requires taking the initiative, just like we take advantage of this turmoil and take the initiative to raise troops, so that we can stand out and become famous in the court and Li Shu. But if we study slowly and wait for others to discover us, when will it be our turn?" Us? Risks, there must be risks, but what can be done without risks?" Liu Tao can only put it another way.

He himself is just a person who seeks fame and reputation, just to get along well, and he has to put on the skin of "benevolence and righteousness" no matter what.

The key to achieving this is how to let others put on such a layer of skin for themselves.It's best to keep yourself clean and look flattered.

As a time traveler, even if you don't have this skill, you will be somewhat affected by it.It's just that the ancient people, especially those in front of them, who didn't have so much accumulated knowledge, were taken aback by him at the moment.

"What brother said is very true, Yan is taught." Lu Yan was the first to react, and saluted solemnly.Lu Zhi wouldn't tell him this kind of thing, at least he hasn't said it yet, and maybe he doesn't know it himself.The point is, this statement is really valuable.

"It's just that my lord, don't just say it when you see people, otherwise it won't be effective, but it will be counterproductive." Jian Yong reminded.He has joined Liu Tao's family, and the latter's fame is equivalent to his own fame, so maintaining his reputation is the top priority.

"Those present are either brothers or our own people. I don't have to hide anything from you." Liu Tao laughed.

For a moment, this feeling of being trusted stimulated everyone's senses, especially the softness deep in their hearts.Under this stimulation, an emotion called 'excitement' emerged deep in the brain, and all rationality was suppressed.

"I will swear to the death not to reveal a word!" Everyone responded one after another, and even made the most vicious oath for this.

It's a pity that Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu didn't recognize the master, which made Liu Tao a little disappointed.On second thought, yes, one is a clan brother and the other is a cousin.This relationship is like the relationship between Cao Cao and Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Teng was adopted by his father, so in ethics, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are his brothers.But he is from Xiahou's family, so Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, although they are subordinates, are also blood brothers.

Let's just say that now, Liu Ge, the clan brother, calls himself 'Lord', and feels that he has grown a lot more.

"Yeah, I think it's time to get back to the point..." Lu Yan felt that it was not an option to continue the discussion, "How to distribute the five hundred young and strong. I can't, let's put them all in the supply unit?"

"Isn't it necessary?" Jian Yong thought for a while, "Our supply troop already has a little too much."

Strictly speaking, [-] supply units are completely sufficient, and it can be directly increased to [-], but the number of [-] is not good.The result is that the team is a bit cumbersome, and the daily food consumption is a bit too much.

On the way from Lunu County, they only walked more than 40 miles on the first day. In addition to deducting the incident caused by Zhang Fei, there was another factor, that is, the team was too large, the cost of guards increased, and the marching speed had to be slowed down.

"Then make it into the soldiers!" Zhang Fei jumped out directly, "The cavalry under my command should also be added!"

"You only need to add 22 under your command!" Liu Tao teased, then looked at Lu Yan, "But this one really needs to be added."

"I will look for soldiers who are good at riding and add them in." Lu Yan nodded. There is no tough battle to fight at present. The cavalry can march and train at the same time, as long as they can form combat effectiveness within a month.

Then he looked at Liu Tao, and continued: "If there are only 22 people, just select them from the supply unit..."

"The sword and shield soldiers and the bow and crossbow soldiers have not played a single song yet, right?" Liu Tao thought for a while, and then looked at Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu. Both of them are military candidates, but in fact, the troops under their command are not enough. song.There are 300 sword and shield soldiers and 500 bow and crossbow soldiers. It is just right to put [-] people in.

"The problem is, the sword and shield soldiers are alright. These 500 people may not be good at shooting." Jian Yong reminded.

"Select among the soldiers, give priority to the selection of crossbowmen and cavalry. We have plenty of time. Twenty days is enough to go around Zhongshan County." Liu Tao thought for a while, "From now on, we will march 25 miles a day, and the rest The time is spent practicing."

"This is a way." Lu Yan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.Gao Sheng, the biggest thief in Zhongshan County, has now been crowned head.There are some unpromising thieves left, it is a question of whether they dare to fight, let alone take the initiative to go out of the city to attack.

In addition, it is good to waste time and time. If Zhongshan County is recovered too early, then it will not be right to go south, or not to go south.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh: "I used to hear people say that although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike. I originally thought so, and war is a waste of people and money. But how come we are fighting more and more powerful?"

When Lu Yan said that, everyone realized that when others fought wars, the bigger they got, the poorer they were. This was the case during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, Confucianism privately used this as an example to explain the truth that "a warlike man will die".

As for the question, how did they get stronger and stronger and richer as they fought?

"What's so strange about this?" Liu Tao didn't think there was anything strange about it, "Even if other people fight a war, even if they win, there will be [-]% to [-]% casualties. Take out the money. On our side, this part of the consumption is nothing compared to the seizure, so naturally the more we fight, the stronger we will be!"

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized that in wars since ancient times, one thousand enemies were killed, and eight hundred were self-defeated.Therefore, only the battles where the few can win the many, and the weak can win the strong can be recorded in history.

"The other thing is the supply of supplies. We fought well in Jizhou. If we leave here, the supply line will be too long. No matter how rich the Zhen family is, no matter how much food there is, it will be dragged down by us. The pre-Qin expedition to the south, or the Han emperor's northern expedition to the Xiongnu, all because of supplies It's too long, and the transportation process consumes too much material, so it dragged me down first." Liu Tao then explained that the travelers probably know these reasons.

For example, in Bashu, because the mountain roads are difficult, manpower is often needed to transport food.In order to ensure that the food can reach the front line smoothly, it seems that the grain transport soldiers must be arranged for the grain transport soldiers, and then the grain transport soldiers for the grain transport soldiers must also be equipped with grain transport soldiers. On the front line, the food and supplies consumed in a single battle are three times that of other places.

So the Shu Han became poorer and poorer, not only because of too many deaths, but the economic collapse is the key.Liu Tao even remembers, I don’t know which book I read, Zhuge Liang had to make hundreds of dollars in order to save the collapsed economy, and use a copper coin as a hundred coins to further accelerate the collapse of the economy. The economy really doesn't understand much.

But then again, who knows anything about the economy these days?wait...

Chapter 90

An idea flashed through Liu Tao's mind, but he suppressed it temporarily in the end.He is now just a general who is purely in command of the army and has no power over the local area. Even if he recruits economic talents, it is nothing.

However, although the Zhang family in Changshan has declined, they are descendants of Zhang Cang, and there must be some people who are more sensitive to numbers.Maybe you can get in touch later to see if you can find a better talent among them.

Liu Tao thought about it, the Zhang family in Zhongshan is also good, to become a wealthy businessman, he must have a vision for numbers and the economy.

"Brother?" Everyone saw that Liu Tao was thinking about something again, with a serious look on his face, Lu Yan had to ask tentatively under the signal of everyone.

"Oh, where did we just talk about?" Liu Tao immediately came back to his senses and asked casually.

"Brother mentioned the matter of luggage... To be honest, brother Yu has considered this factor before, but not as thoroughly as brother." Lu Yan quickly replied, and several others nodded.

We all know that luggage is important, but I didn't expect that after the supply line is stretched, the consumption will not be as simple as one plus one.

"In order to ensure the transportation of materials, the pre-Qin Dynasty established galloping roads and tracks. Although it was ridiculed as a waste of money and people, no matter what happened, it could transport soldiers and materials to arrive at the first time. In the bud. But now... at least I really don't see the track anymore." Liu Tao complained.
