The next morning.

Han Xin walked into Zhe County with a gloomy face.

Last night, the army camped at the border and sent 3,000 people to meet outside Zhe County.

The original plan was that if they could break in, three thousand men would be enough to hold on for a night, and then wait until the next morning for the army to come back and completely capture Zhe County.

However, what I didn't expect was that there was no fighting at all.

The three thousand people sent by Han Xin ended up just entering the city to help maintain order...

How could Han Xin be happy?

Busy in front of you, exhausted and exhausted, but it turns out that all your hard work is in vain?

The credit for winning a county was given to the scouts for nothing, while his brothers could only take the credit?

"General, I am scouting the hundred generals of the Miao people in Zhe County!" Seeing Han Xin enter the city, the Miao people stepped forward to greet him with excitement.

No matter how confident you are before you start, you won't be as confident as you will be after you succeed. The two mentality are different.

Now the Miao people can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This credit belongs to him and to the Scout Zhe County branch.

"Not bad! You are very good!" Han Xin glanced at the Miao people and praised almost through gritted teeth.

"General, this is Yu Cong, the former Prime Minister of Zhe County. It took a lot of effort to kill the magistrate, the Prime Minister, and the Lieutenant of Zhe County this time." The Miao man introduced again.

"Well, since there is someone in charge of the city, I am relieved, general!" Han Xin nodded.

Although he was a little angry, he was not ready to fall out with the scout headquarters over a county seat.

Although the Miao people cannot represent the scout headquarters, how could Han Xin, who has rich life experience, not see that this might be a pandemic?

The scouts are deep behind enemy lines and usually have no chance to make great achievements. Now that the main force is here, will they continue to tolerate it?

If it were him, Han Xin would most likely not be able to bear it.

I just hope that the scouts in the following counties will not be like the Miao people.

And if this was the case, Han Xin felt that he might attack by force. It would be such a bully.

"How much grain and grass are there in Zhe County?" Han Xin asked directly.

"General, this autumn harvest has just begun, and only more than 100,000 stones have been stored in the warehouse." The Miao people quickly replied.

Knowing that they had robbed Han Xin of his achievements, the Miao people did not dare to go head-to-head with Han Xin at this time. Of course they would continue to treat Han Xin as their grandson after receiving the benefits.

Now, I am not qualified to stand up and talk to Han Xin.

"Not enough!" Han Xin said with a straight face.

"General, if all are put into the treasury this year, there will be almost four to five million stones..." the Miao people explained.

This timing is very embarrassing, as the Chu army plans to send troops when the Han army is harvesting in autumn.

At this time, Chu State is in the process of autumn harvest, and about 20% of it has been completed, while Han State has not yet started.

For this war, the Chu State even ordered an early harvest.

I just hope to make a time difference and exchange for a relative future for Chu State at the cost of losing a certain amount of food.

But the Chu State did not expect that the Han army would send troops first.

"That's only enough for the troops of my general's headquarters for a month!" Han Xin directly interrupted the Miao people.

Of course, if the requirements are high, food must be provided. The ration standard set by Han Xin is four stones per person per month.

It was twice the size of an ordinary city, one and a half stones more than the army that stayed behind in the Han Kingdom, and half a stone more than the other armies that went on the expedition.

Without supplementary food, Han Xin had to increase his marching speed and ensure his combat effectiveness, so he could only pile up grain.

Four stones, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms in later generations. Even now, a soldier has to eat almost the same amount of food as his body weight in a month.

Under the new tactical requirements, this food rationing will naturally not be a problem.

But what the Miao people did made Han Xin very unhappy. Although he couldn't reprimand him on the surface, Han Xin had no intention of making the Miao people's lives easier.

"My general has a heavy task and requires many troops and horses. I heard that there are three thousand defenders in Zhe County?" Han Xin asked.

"Yes... there are three thousand..." The Miao man was sweating profusely, and there was no one who was less vigilant as a scout. He had already realized that he had made Han Xin unhappy.

"I, the general, have taken away two thousand men to replenish our troops. You can recruit a new group here. In addition to the food, I, the general, have taken away all the people who are now in the warehouse. You can organize the civilians to transport the rest as soon as possible. I don't have many, general."

Take, Zhe County provides 400,000 dan of grain, which is enough to feed the army for a month!" Han Xin said as if you were lucky.

"General...this..." The Miao people looked confused.

If you are asked to take away so many people and food, what else will you do in Zhe County next?

Don't look at the four to five million dan that went into the warehouse. This is the annual income of the entire county.

In addition, after taking away all expenses, there will not be much left at the end of the year.

If something happens, you may have to take out next year's inventory to make up for the hole.

"Jiagu, go pick the soldiers!" Han Xin lazily ignored the Miao people.

"promise!"

"Zhu Chong, go transport food and grass!"

"promise!"

"Get ready to catch up with the army as soon as possible!" Han Xin ordered the two of them again, and immediately turned around and left Zhe County with his soldiers.

He didn't want to stay here any longer. Firstly, he was unhappy with what the Miao people were doing, and secondly, this was not his territory.

According to the combat goal, Han Xin was going to attack Surabaya County.

But the Han State did not have any territory adjacent to Sishui County.

Therefore, he followed Guan Ying on the eastern expedition. When he was in Yongqiu, Han Xin led his troops southward.

Zhe County is the first county he has to face, and it belongs to Chen County.

The next target is still Ku County in Chen County. After that, we will move eastward and capture Qiao County in Dang County. After capturing Qiao County, we will go south to Sishui County.

Therefore, Han Xin's marching route was Zhe County, Ku County, Qiao County, and Chengfu.

It is equivalent to forcibly drawing a straight line at the junction of Chen County and Dang County, so that Zhang Han and Guan Ying do not need to send troops to these relatively distant places, but future governance will still be temporarily under their jurisdiction.

"Miao Baijiang, what should we do next?" Looking at Han Xin's retreating figure, Yu Cong glanced at Miao Ren with a sad face.

"Do as required!" Miao Ren sighed.

"General Miao Bai, if you really follow this general's request, there will be trouble in Zhe County in the next year!" Yu Cong was a little anxious.

He will be the county magistrate, and although the Miao people are only a hundred generals, the Han Dynasty will not deny his promise.

In other words, in the first year after he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, there was trouble in the county under his control. How could he dare to imagine his career and reputation in the future?

"During the war, the Han State gave top priority to ensuring the needs of the army, and had to put its back on everything. If you dare to disobey orders, it will not only be you and me, but many people will be implicated." The Miao people explained speechlessly.

"Then we can't just watch Zhe County die!" Yu Cong was really panicked. In the end, he was the one who got into trouble.
Chapter completed!
