At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Very good. Immediately lay out these 100,000 tents on the plain outside the city. At the same time, send out 10,000 troops to set up a blockade and accept all the civilians who have migrated here."

Xia Yun made the decision immediately.

One hundred thousand military tents, assuming that each tent can accommodate a maximum of twenty civilians, can accommodate nearly two million civilians.

"How many tents are there in the army accompanying Xiang Wentian?" Xia Yun asked again.

"In reply to the Marshal, there are at least 200,000 tents in the army led by General Zhao."

Qin Tianye responded without hesitation.

All the soldiers, money, food, and various military supplies carried by the army on this expedition were all in his mind and he remembered them clearly.

Of course he would not forget such extremely important supplies as military tents.

"Order Xiang Wentian to continue to speed up the march and make sure to reach Shuodong City in the shortest possible time."

Xia Yun nodded.

With these 300,000 military tents, the common people who have migrated from various prefectures to counties will no longer have to worry.

Of course, Xia Yun never considered the problem of people's food.

When he led the troops to the battle this time, the thing he had the most was food!

You should know that when he led his army out of the capital that day, Lei Zhenning directly allocated nearly two million grains at one time!

Zhao Wuji, who was standing aside, was a little confused as he listened to the conversation between Xia Yun and Qin Tianye.

Although he couldn't understand what the two were saying, he could tell from their expressions that the problem had been solved!

as predicted.

In the next two hours, Qin Tianye personally brought Zhao Wuji to the army's treasury and took away 100,000 tents directly from it.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Tianye personally selected a vacant lot outside Shuodong City and dispatched 10,000 troops to set up tents. At the same time, he set up a cordon around the vacant lot.

When the time came to evening.

One hundred thousand brand new tents were neatly laid out on the plain.

On the city wall of Shuodong City, Zhao Wuji looked at this scene and felt deeply moved.

"The Marshal is truly a god. He was able to bring so many huge tents at once. The people of Gansu Province are finally saved!"

Zao Wou-Ki's words should be very exciting.

What was originally a huge crisis was resolved so easily in Xia Yun's hands.

This kind of efficiency and methods was the first time he had seen it since he became an official!

……

The next morning.

Zhao Wuji once again came to the lobby of the county government office, bringing with him the county geography he had collected from various prefectures, states, and counties.

"Your Excellency, I have been ordered to collect the county's geographical records. I have now completed the task and would like to invite you to review it."

Zhao Wuji held a thick stack of county records and respectfully placed them on the desk in front of Xia Yun.

"You did very well."

Xia Yun, who had just woken up from his sleep and was reviewing the battle report from the front line, suddenly had a look of affirmation on his face.

It was not easy for Zao Wou-Ki to complete this task in just two or three days.

"It is thanks to your chariots that they can travel a thousand miles a day. Otherwise, even if I run until my legs break, I am afraid I will not be able to complete the mission."

As Zhao Wuji replied, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

That day, after Xia Yun gave him the task of collecting the county's geographical records, he directly equipped him with a special chariot.

He had never seen such a new gadget, and he had never imagined in his lifetime that there existed a means of transportation in the world that not only traveled much faster than a war horse.

Moreover, even the distance traveled in one day is six or seven times that of a war horse!

"From now on, I will equip you with ten more chariots. You will select some local people who are familiar with the terrain to form a spy team. You will monitor the movements of Nanmo City closely. Can you do it?"

Not long after, Xia Yun gave Zhao Wuji a new task.

According to what he had learned in the past few days, the terrain in Gansu was very complicated, and most of the troops he brought were from Jiangnan and Shandong.

Even some veterans who are familiar with maps only have a vague understanding of the terrain in Gansu.

If they wanted to send people to carry out a strict surveillance plan, they had to select soldiers from local Gansu people.

"Don't worry, sir. I will arrange this matter right away!"

Zhao Wuji nodded confidently.

This kind of thing doesn't take any effort for him at all. You have to know that among the hundreds of people under his command, all of them are native people born and raised in Gansu!

After Zhao Wuji left in a hurry.

Xia Yun issued another urgent order, summoning all the generals in the army.

Ever since Xia Yun led a force of hundreds of thousands, the generals under his command included more than just Qin Tianye, Chong Heihu and others.

After a short while, dozens of lieutenant generals appeared in the lobby of the county government in an orderly manner.

Xia Yun then handed each of the generals a copy of the county gazetteers that Zhao Wuji had collected.

"I want you to draw a detailed and complete map of Gansu for me in the shortest possible time."

In front of everyone, Xia Yun stated the purpose of gathering everyone together.

The map of Gansu in his hand now was full of loopholes, including the map of Gansu he got from other officials, none of which could be applied to this war.

Therefore, he had no choice but to re-draw a complete and detailed map of Gansu in the shortest possible time.

Once the order was issued, Xia Yun arranged dozens of tables and chairs in the courtyard of the county government office.

Soon, dozens of lieutenant generals sat on tables and chairs like schoolchildren, carefully reading the county gazetteers in their hands.

At the same time, these generals were reading the county gazetteers and drawing maps.

Although there are many generals under Xia Yun's command, they were all carefully selected by Qin Tianye.

To put it simply, none of these dozens of generals are good-for-nothings, and drawing maps is just the most basic ability for them!

As time passed, the county government became extremely busy.

During this period, Xia Yun was not idle.

Over the past two or three days, many local troops in Gansu have successfully completed the task of wiping out the Xiaoguman troops.

Xia Yun's original intention in mobilizing these local troops was to give them a small punishment and a stern warning, and to teach them a lesson.

But what he didn't expect was that many of them actually gave him some surprises.

From the perspective of the entire battle situation, except for the barbarian troops near Guihua City, the barbarian troops in the area within a diameter of 200 kilometers centered on Shuodong have almost been completely cleared out!

Xia Yun was delighted and immediately distributed rewards to all the meritorious troops.

The troops that kill 500 enemies will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, 500 kilograms of cattle and sheep, and 500 dan of potatoes.

The troops that kill one thousand enemies will be rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver, one thousand kilograms of cattle and sheep, and one thousand loads of potatoes!

Troops that kill 5,000 enemies or more will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver, 2,000 kilograms of cattle and sheep, and 5,000 dan of potatoes!
