Chapter 1406 Preparing to Leave
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: The Battle of Princes ()"
The reason why Jin Muzhen stopped Morigen from continuing was not because he was unwilling to accept his reward, but because he had other purposes.
Seeing that Jin Muzhen seemed to have something else to say to him, Morigen was not stupid: "Go and get it yourself? What does that mean? Jin Wanhu, just say it, and I will agree to it."
"Well, it's like this," Jin Muzhen paused for a moment, and then continued: "General Zuo thinks that after Zuo Xianwang enters Chifeng City, how will the troops of other departments be arranged?"
"Of course, we will arrange grasslands around, and wait until we completely occupy these places before sending troops south." Morigen also knew that after Mijia occupied Chifeng, he would definitely not return to the depths of the grassland. After all, the grasslands around Chifeng are also very good. If we can control this place, it will definitely be beneficial for the army to go south.
"General Zuo will definitely stay in Chifeng City, but for a small tribe like mine, the grasslands around Chifeng are definitely not available, so I would like to ask General Zuo to allow me to send troops to capture a small county town. At that time, most of the supplies in the city will be handed over to General Zuo, and I only need that county town."
"General Zuo knows that I have lived here for a few years and am familiar with the surrounding situation. I only need a small town. With this county town, I can provide some supplies to General Zuo every year. I am still confident in governing a county town."
At this time, Morigen knew what Jinmuzhen meant, but the Xianbei people did not have many ideas about how to govern a city. Jinmuzhen was his confidant, and he happened to have the idea of governing a city. Morigen did not object. The most important thing was that Morigen's subordinates did not have any talents who could manage a city.
"Okay, tell me, which city do you want to attack?"
Jin Muzhen opened a map he was carrying and pointed to a county town, saying, "General Zuo, look, there is a small town called Jianping more than 200 miles southeast of Chifeng City. It was originally a city built by foreigners. There are not many grasslands around it, which is only suitable for growing Han people's food. I guess other tribes are not interested in these."
"This is basically a mountainous area. According to my estimation, it can only support 5,000 to 6,000 cavalrymen at most. And if we go a few dozen miles east of Jianping, we will reach Liucheng and Yangle in Liaoxi County. If we leave them alone, the Tang army in Liaoxi County can enter the grassland through here, so..."
Morigen glanced at the location on the map. He was not interested in occupying such a small town, but Jin Muzhen meant that he would send troops to capture the county town, and most of the things inside would be handed over to him. He only wanted this county town.
"Do you really only need Xi's troops? You know, even a small county town is not so easy to capture."
"Of course, the matter of attacking the county town is left to me, but I still need General Zuo to send troops to support. Wei has a total of 5,000 troops, which should be enough to attack the county town. After all, it is just a larger town, but I am afraid that the Tang army from other cities will come to support it. Moreover, after the county town is captured, the supplies inside will also need to be escorted back by troops."
"Well, tell me, how many reinforcements are needed?"
"Three thousand, only General Zuo can send out 3,000 elite cavalry. The siege will be left to my troops, and the 3,000 elite cavalry only need to plunder the enemy for me. "
"Okay, Ba Ri, you will lead the 3,000 elite cavalry and Captain Jin Wanfu to go together. Let's do this. The siege will definitely require civilians, so I will reward you with 2,000 Han slaves." Morigen said very straightforwardly;
For him, General Zuo, 2,000 Han slaves are just a piece of cake. You know, he captured nearly 10,000 Han people just by attacking and releasing Chifeng City. In addition, he has tens of thousands of slaves all the time, so 2,000 slaves are really nothing to him.
After getting Morigen's permission, Jin Muzhen said goodbye and left. He must rush back to his army as soon as possible,
Gather troops and leave Chifeng City as soon as possible. Here, after the arrival of Miga's army, it will become the center of a vortex, and his small body can't stand such a toss.
When they returned to a courtyard near the south gate, Yin Muzhen and Tong Muzhen had already returned. When they saw Jin Muzhen coming in, they couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on, big brother?"
Jin Muzhen took the water bottle handed over by a player, drank a few sips of water, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "Don't you see who came out? It must have been done."
"?!" After hearing what Jin Muzhen said, the two people happily stretched out their hands and clapped three times.
"Great, now we just need to capture Jianping, and the three of us brothers will finally have a city to stay." Yinmuzhen said with a smile;
"I was worried that Morigen would not agree." Tongmuzhen said;
"Hehe, don't worry, I have carefully selected this place. There is no good grassland around. The county town is built in the valley. Although there are three or four roads connecting to the grassland, no tribe is willing to stay there."
"By the way, big brother, when will the troops be sent out?" Tongmuzhen asked;
"The sooner the better. By the way, how did we get? Morigen promised to reward me with 5,000 war horses and 2,000 slaves. Count our belongings and pack them up as soon as possible to set off. We can't stay in Chifeng City anymore. Miga's army should be coming soon."
"Don't worry, we are ready. I tell you, we made a fortune this time." The two looked at each other and laughed;
Then the two began to show Jin Muzhen their harvest this time. Since the establishment of Chifeng City, Wangmen has gradually asked Gongsun Zan for a lot of craftsmen in order to better develop the city, and all these craftsmen fell into the hands of the three brothers of Muzhen this time.
There are 386 craftsmen, almost including all the craftsmen needed for the development of a force. Of course, there are definitely no master-level craftsmen and special skills. But there are 82 senior craftsmen, 125 intermediate craftsmen, and the rest are junior craftsmen and apprentices. These craftsmen alone provide more than 2,000 people for the three brothers of Muzhen.
There are also ordinary people they have collected from all over the city. The two parts add up to more than 5,000 people. Now with the 2,000 people rewarded by Morigen, they have obtained nearly 8,000 people in terms of population alone.
In addition, Jinmuzhen's original tribe had 5,000 cavalry, a total of more than 30,000 people. If you calculate it this way, after they captured Jianping City, the population alone would be 40,000, not including the original population in Jianping City.
In addition, the weapons and equipment in various workshops added up to 10,000 pieces, and there were also hundreds of carts of materials of various levels. Relatively speaking, they collected a little less money and food, but it was enough for 30,000 to 40,000 people to consume for half a year.
And Jinmuzhen's original tribe also had a large number of cattle and sheep. If you calculate it this way, after taking Jianping, there is no need to worry about food consumption within a year.
