“To sum it up, exchanging more system soldiers and horses is more cost-effective than collecting surrendered soldiers.”

Thinking of this, Lin Chengtian exchanged three thousand Snow Dragon Riders.

Three hundred thousand fortunes, but he didn’t even blink.

“System prompt: One hundred points of luck for the Great Snow Dragon Rider.”

“Cost: a total of 300,000 luck points.”

“You have fifty thousand luck left. If you get one piece of luck every second, you can get more than eighty thousand luck in one day!”

Lin Chengtian saw the light curtain flickering, and his heart settled, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

With three thousand mouths and a full budget, the military expenditure increased by several percent.

“There is motivation only when there is pressure. Only by giving Chen Zhibao enough troops and training in advance can the effect be more effective.”

“I hope you won’t let it down.”

The system sound faded from Lin Chengtian’s mind, and he closed his eyes to rest.

Then, Song Fang gently opened the door.

He looked slightly nervous, fearing that the young master would disagree: “Now the army is running out of food and grass, why not consider collecting food and grass from the people in the city?”

When he opened his eyes, Lin Chengtian’s eyes were cold.

“How many days are left?”

“Seven days.”

That’s it, not including the newly added three thousand Snow Dragon Riders!

“Seven days are gone, and three thousand more have been added.”

Song Fang’s lips trembled, and he was even more certain that the food requisition plan was imminent.

He also hurriedly pointed out: “Xia City has a population of 50,000 people. If we benefit the people, we can fill the food supply for at least a month.”

“For us, it would be of great benefit, and the sooner the better.”

“Young Master, you must not be kind to women. Since ancient times, the most taboo thing about strong soldiers is that they will rot from the inside.”

The reason why Song Fang was anxious.

This is because staying in Xiacheng for four days is just a waste of time.

If we don’t ask for help from the outside, we won’t be able to support this group of people. Even if there are no strong enemies outside, the army will collapse from within.

But Lin Chengtian loves the people like his own children, will he agree?

“…”

Inside the house, the master and the servant were silent to each other, responding to everything silently.

Song Fang still refused to give up, but Lin Chengtian waved his sleeve.

“Forcibly confiscating food and grass will cause another turmoil in Xia City, which was finally calmed down.”

“We have just beheaded a group of people and their prestige has just been established. This is not good for the people.”

“But……”

“No need to say it.”

Lin Chengtian passed straight by, leaving Song Fang with a knot in his throat.

It’s not that Song Fang doesn’t understand these principles.

Under pressure, you still have to say what you need to say.

Song Fang was heartbroken, even if he risked being punished, he would risk his life to ask for advice.

“It’s not that I’m evil-minded and don’t regard the people of Xiacheng as human beings, but there are fifteen thousand mouths and horses neighing every day, all wailing for food…”

“We are about to attack Changlin in the near future, and we need food and fodder first.”

While talking, Lin Chengtian took out a map and shouted in a cold voice: “I just said that I don’t need food and grass in Xia City, who said I can’t go elsewhere?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chengtian pointed to a city above. That’s called Taikou City.

“Are you familiar with this place?”

When Lin Chengtian took the exam, Song Fang was stunned for a moment. When he took a closer look, his expression woke up.

“Taikou is the city closest to us. It has an estimated population of more than 30,000 people, which is only slightly smaller than Xia City.”

“But he is the empress’ territory.”

Lin Chengtian hit the table with a wooden stick, bang bang bang.

“Who said that taking food from the people will only hurt your own people?”

“Now that we have captured Xia City, we should spread out and support war with war.”

According to anecdotal reports.

The Wang family’s 100,000 private soldiers must be entrenched in cities of all sizes.

And according to the nature of the Wang family, it is impossible to put eggs in the same basket.

“A normal army should arrange for people to accompany them all the way with food and fodder for emergencies.”

“I have a hunch that there will be a lot of food and grass in Taikou City, and there may even be soldiers and horses gathered.”

Lin Chengtian didn’t blink, and every word was heartbreaking.

Song Fang was slightly confused after hearing such a firm idea.

“We finally settled down, shouldn’t we rest and recuperate?”

Lin Chengtian shook his head.

Staying here is death, and going back is also the road to destruction. The only way is to move forward unswervingly.

“Our Lin family army is all brave and good at fighting. We will only slack off if we don’t fight.”

“Furthermore, even if all the resources in Xia City are plundered, it can last for a month. What will happen after one month?”

After saying that, Lin Chengtian marked another location and asked Song Fang to think clearly.

“These two cities, once captured, will become our continuous supply of food and grass.”

“Besides, I don’t need to teach you how to catch a fish while draining the lake.”

According to Lin Chengtian’s idea, he should first capture the two cities in between to ensure that he has no worries.

There is no need to be afraid, because the efforts to collect grain are too large, and the officials force the people to rebel, which will give them a bad reputation.

Then take Changlin City.

Occupying Changlin City and conquering other cities is as easy as picking out items.

Step by step, become biggerBe stronger!

Song Fang was very excited when he heard about the plan.

“The young master is still thoughtful! I will raise manpower and let everyone prepare.”

Later, Lin Chengtian called Chen Zhibao.

“Take five thousand soldiers and horses, and go and surround Taikou City first, but do not attack.”

“After occupying a favorable terrain, no matter what happens, you must stay put.”

Chen Zhibao felt something was wrong: “The magistrate of Taikou City is not stupid. If he does not seize the favorable opportunity to suppress, he will definitely ask Nanchuan for help.”

Lin Chengtian raised his eyebrows: “What I want is for him to escape.”

“I made a whole table of dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.”

“When the county magistrate can no longer stand the pressure, I will lead the Snow Dragon Cavalry to stop the attack and kill the supporting enemies.”

“If you don’t expect a mantis to catch a cicada, you will naturally catch a turtle in a urn.”

After hearing this, Chen Zhibao looked forward to the battle in Taikou even more.

After the plan was finalized, Chen Zhibao led his troops out of Xiacheng, headed eastward, and surrounded Taikou City.

In Taikou City, there is the county government hall.

“It’s not good, it’s not good!”

“That little loser Chen Zhibao is thirty miles east of the city and has surrounded the main exit.”

“What?!”

Yuan Renfang was so frightened that he fell to the ground and hid under the table.

The black gauze hat on his head was not steady and rolled all the way to the master’s feet.

The county magistrate of Taikou City is famous for his big eyes and small belly, and he never gets ahead of anything.

What’s more, Chen Zhibao’s reputation has already spread throughout Nanchuan through a fierce battle.

Yuan Renfang thought that his small town was inconspicuous and that no one should care about it. Unexpectedly, the rebels came and even sent a first-class master Chen Zhibao.

“…”

“Master Yuan, don’t worry, they are just surrounding and not attacking!”

The master picked up the black gauze hat and placed it squarely on the table.

“How to say?”

“They just surrounded and set up camp, and there was no movement.”

“In my opinion, Chen Zhibao only brought thousands of ordinary soldiers. He probably did not dare to attack rashly and was waiting for rescue!”

Yuan Renfang felt a chill in his heart.

As early as two days ago, Wang Jun, the governor of Nancheng, had informed various officials of the news and told them that killing Lin Chengtian was the imperial edict of Empress Qinghe.

It didn’t take long for them to come, and it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable.

“Quickly, pass on my order and ask Mr. Wang to personally send troops and horses.”

The Taikou County Magistrate did not dare to delay and quickly sent people to Changlin City to ask for help.
