Chapter 741 Bai Tu’s thoughts

Did not stay in Huangsha City for long. After a brief inspection and understanding of the situation, Zhou Xu left.

When passing by Black Rock City, I found two hot air balloons floating in the sky.

Now the outside of Black Rock City has become a training camp for hot air balloons. It has become normal to have several hot air balloons floating over the city every day.

At first, the people of Black Rock City mistakenly thought it was a miraculous god, and they quickly knelt down and worshiped when they saw it. However, under the conscious publicity of the patrol team, over time, they became accustomed to it.

At the same time, I felt a little more reverence for the great Zhou Dynasty that had annexed them.

"Is there any action in Xishan City and Anling City in the near future?"

Standing on the wall of Blackstone City, Zhou Xu was looking in the direction of Xishan City at this time. Thoughtful.

"Reporting to the king, there is no movement in the two cities for the time being. I am afraid that Liu De is busy with spring plowing at the moment and does not have much spare time to do other things."

Said Here, Shi Lei paused and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, are we really doing nothing?"

Obviously, Shi Lei was a little worried about Liu De on the opposite side, who had stabilized after a wave of spring plowing, and would bring more trouble to them in the future.

After hearing this, Zhou Xu shook his head.

"Shi Lei, you are worrying too much. A wave of spring plowing will not change anything. After the crops are planted, no matter how fast they grow, some of them will have to be harvested in the summer, and most of them will have to wait until the autumn. This cannot be done immediately. Change their situation. "

"Normally, this period would be spent with the grain reserves obtained from last year's autumn harvest, but last year's spring plowing and autumn harvest were affected, and the grain output was still there. Not as good as the previous two years, even fewer fell into the hands of Xishan City and Anling City.”

"At this stage, most of the people across the street probably don't have enough to eat and need to rely on relief to avoid starving to death."

After saying this, Zhou Xu paused and his eyes fell on Shi Lei.

"Shi Lei, do you think such people have the strength to work?"

Facing this issue, Shi Lei has the right to speak, because in the early years, their tribe came from that state. of.

“The labor force is definitely there, but it is definitely not high.”

Zhou Xu nodded.

"To put it simply, the effect of their spring plowing will most likely be worse than last year. At this time last year, there was no famine at all."

"At the same time, I have also understood Well, although there are seven cities here, only two function as major grain-producing cities, namely Green Forest City and Xianyang City. Before this, at least 70% of the country's food came from these two cities. The city's output. "

"In addition, Xishan City's agricultural development is average, and the food output in previous years has not been high. It will only be worse this year. It is not clear whether the people in this city can feed themselves. It’s easy to say, not to mention that there are thousands of mouths waiting to eat in Anling City.”

After saying that, Zhou Xu walked towards the bottom of the city wall, and at the same time, he looked at Shi Lei without looking back. He gave an order.

"Then Liu De won't be able to dance for long. I guess this summer is almost over. It is already the end of spring. The soldiers must not relax in their daily training. Be prepared and wait for me to pass the message."

"My subordinates take orders!"

After leaving Blackstone City, Zhou Xu went straight to Green Forest City. Green Forest City now has Bai Tu leading the garrison. The main task at this stage, in addition to providing wood for the construction of Huangsha City, is spring plowing.

Although the season is already at the end of spring, the spring plowing work here is still very busy. According to Zhou Xu’s latest understanding, it is estimated that it will be busy for another ten and a half days. moon.

The situation in Green Forest City itself was nothing to worry about, but considering the existence of Xishan City, Zhou Xu did not forget to remind Bai Tu before leaving.

“The famine problem in Xishan City has probably not been solved yet. They are short of food there. They are likely to target Green Forest City or Xianyang City to plunder food. After that, you We need to arrange patrol teams to strengthen the patrol work outside the city. Don’t be careless.”

“I will obey the king’s orders!”

At this time, Bai Tu said, But in his heart, he didn't take that group of rabble seriously, and he even wished that Xishan City would attack them in a big way so that he could have a chance to make meritorious deeds.

When the time comes, he will counterattack and take Xishan City, and then take advantage of Anling City, which will be a great achievement!

Of course, he was just thinking about it now. Unless the other side took action first, he would shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding Green Forest City and would not dare to leave his post without permission.

When he thought of this, Bai Tu felt really melancholy.

At first, in Black Rock City, when the king ordered him to lead troops to attack Green Forest City, he was excited. He thought about taking Green Forest City first, and then directly taking Xianyang City to make a great contribution directly.

When he is in Xianyang City, he can still consider the situation before considering Feiyan City.

Who would have thought that the 300 troops in the trap camp of Great Zhou were cavalry on horseback and infantry on dismount. Because of the existence of trap camp, his 500 troops could only be used as auxiliaries in the attack on Green Forest City.

Afterwards, they deceived the city gates and outsmarted Xianyang City, which was completely fine for them.

It has been a year since he brought people to surrender. The war is almost over, and he has no chance to perform well. As a military attache, he will wait until the war is over. After that, there will be no chance.

I am afraid that I will have to wait for three to five years, or even longer. Thinking of this, can Bai Tu not feel melancholy?

Bai Tu was eager to make meritorious deeds, and Zhou Xu knew it.

This is normal. As a newcomer, if you don’t show some performance, how can you gain a foothold here?

But unfortunately, apart from the initial city defense battle in Huangsha City, Bai Tu and the others really didn't have many opportunities to perform.

Zhou Xu pursues the greatest victory with the smallest loss, so if he can kill with one blow, he will definitely not take the risk of hitting him in two blows.

In this battle with Yan Sheng, the three hundred traps and the crossbow troops are the weapons of victory in his hands! How much room would there be for the five hundred troops headed by Bai Tu? At most, it can help to control the field and then assist in the occupation.

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu raised his hand and patted Bai Tu on the shoulder.

“I know it’s a good thing to be motivated and motivated, but sometimes things can go wrong. If you want to lead an army on your own in the future, you must first learn to be calm. Do you understand? ”

At this moment, Bai Tu, who knew that the thoughts in his mind had been seen through by their king, felt extremely ashamed.

"I am ashamed!"

But at the same time, the respect for their king in my heart quietly increased.

During this period, Zhou Xu turned around and released the 'Eye of Peeping Secrets', and smiled secretly in his heart...

[Hey, loyalty is eighty points~]
