Sui and Tang Dynasties: My Wife is the Eldest Grandson Wugou

After eliminating these 500 people, Ye Fan found the local sheriff and counted the situation in the city.

First of all, look at the grain depot reserves in the city.

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go before they move food and grass. Ye Fan has an army of more than 1. After so many days of marching, the food he brought with him has long been almost eaten.

If you don't add it, don't talk about winning the Western Turkic Court, it is estimated that they will all starve to death before reaching the Western Turkic Court.

Fortunately, although there are only [-] people in Yiwu County, there is still a lot of grain and grass in the grain depot.

Ye Fan didn't take too much. The grain in the grain storehouse was all scavenged by the Western Turks from the local people. Ye Fan only took enough grain for his army to feed for half a month, and the rest was all the same. Repaid.

But Ye Fan's move was opposed by many people.

"General, it's a big taboo to open a warehouse to release grain!"

Qin Qiong said with an ugly face.

Marching and fighting depends on food and grass. How can the general give food and grass to the people?

The common people must have private possessions, and they will never starve to death, but if the soldiers do not have enough to eat, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Big taboo?"

Ye Fan sneered, standing on the city wall, watching the scene of the people in the city flocking to get food, sneered and said: "I am an official and the people, since I am an official, I should think about the people. If you can’t even do this, then you don’t deserve to be called a soldier!”

This time, Li Xiuning did not hate Ye Fan, but stood on the same line with him, approving: "I think the general is right, for officials and people, if we take all the food, what will the common people do? Do you want to watch them starve to death?"

Qin Qiong naturally understands this truth, but since ancient times, war has required sacrifices!

If someone must be sacrificed, then only the common people must be sacrificed, not the soldiers!

Therefore, Ye Fan's behavior, in Qin Qiong's view, is tantamount to the benevolence of a woman.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers and righteousness does not control wealth. With a character like Ye Fan, it is difficult to achieve great things after all!

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.

"Old Qin, don't think about it too much. Where are you going? Shanshan County and Qiemo County have a lot of stocks, trust me!"

Ye Fan chuckled lightly.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Qin Qiong's heart moved.

"What General Ye said makes sense, but the last general was negligent."

Qin Qiong immediately confessed his mistake.

Chapter 68

If Shanshan County and Qiemo County can be taken down later, the food in these two cities is probably enough to feed the entire army for the first half of the year.

Because these two places are the transfer points for the logistics supply of West Turks!

All supplies, grain and grass are shipped out from here.

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong no longer complained.

Afterwards, half of the grain in the grain and grass was returned to the people in the city, and the people in the city's sense of identification with the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty deepened for a while.

Before the western Turkic army entered the city, they crazily robbed food, searched from house to house, and killed anyone who had stored food but refused to hand it over!

Now this new Sui army not only does not grab grain, but also opens a warehouse to release grain. It really can be called righteousness!

This is what a soldier should have!

When Ye Fan opened a warehouse to release grain, what he considered the most was to establish a good relationship with the local people.

After all, these people are no longer Han people, but people from Tuyuhun, so their sense of identity with the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty will be very low.

If you don't have a good relationship with the people in the city, you will lose the hearts of the people. If the Western Turkic army comes to kill you, it will cause internal and external troubles.

Then, after resting in Yiwu County for a whole day, Ye Fan immediately summoned the army the next day, and only sent 2000 people to stay in Yiwu County. Mo County.

When passing through the Lop Nur area, it is still an oasis.

Thinking that after more than 1000 years, this generation will become a desert of death, Ye Fan couldn't help sighing.

When nature gives you something, it also deprives you of what you have accordingly.

But now is not the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Ye Fan passed by here, and he didn't have time to stay for a while, so he rushed to the vicinity of Shanshan County without stopping.

About [-] kilometers away from Shanshan County, the army stopped.

This place is very close to Qiemo County, but only two or three hundred miles away. Once there is a war here, Qiemo County will receive news at any time.

Therefore, in order to avoid Qiemo County sending troops to reinforce at that time, or to notify the Western Turkic Royal Court, Ye Fan planned to march at the same time.

Let Qin Qiong surround Shanshan County first, while he led three thousand tiger and leopard riders to surprise Qiemo County.

Going to the Tiger and Leopard Rider, Ye Fan took Li Xiuning and Chai Shao with him.

Ye Fan didn't bring too many people with him on this trip, he only brought his tiger and leopard rider.

Although the strength is only three thousand, Ye Fan has full confidence that he can win Qiemo City.

In fact, he didn't need to do this at all. The reason why he did this was to draw out Chai Shao's true thoughts. He attacked two cities one after another, but Chai Shao was unmoved. Ye Fan really didn't know what he wanted to do.

After marching in a hurry for about half a day, Ye Fan and others arrived outside the city of Qiemo County smoothly.
