This is the port, and all sea grain ships are moored and unloaded here. Yang Hu set up a camp on the shore of the sea and did not station troops in Hepu County. Perhaps this is why it is to facilitate the handover of sea grain ships.

At this time, a fleet of ships was slowly docking on the sea surface, and the huge white sails reflected a blood-red color under the reflection of the setting sun.

Compared with the river ship, the sea ship is larger in size and has a larger load capacity. The food and grass transported by these dozens of sea ships is enough for 80,000 troops to eat for ten days and half a month.

There are three or four fleets of this size in the Wei army. Yang Hu asked them to stagger their sailing time, which was equivalent to not putting all eggs in one basket. Once the fleet was stormed at sea, even if the entire army was destroyed, it would be just a fleet and would not affect other fleets, so as to ensure that the supply of food and grass will not be interrupted.

In the early days, the supply of food and grass by the Wei army was indeed very tight. Not only did it use the food and grass of 80,000 troops, it also had to solve the food and food problem of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou.

However, with the settlement of the people of Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou's economy is also recovering. Although it is difficult to achieve three-season rice in most areas of Jiaozhou, there is no pressure on the double-season rice. It can be harvested in spring, summer, autumn, winter, and rice harvested twice a year.

The Wu army's evacuation was in February. The Wei army settled the people in simultaneous manner, and basically did not delay the farming season. Therefore, after surviving the spring famine, early rice can be harvested in May. For the people of Jiaozhou, the most difficult thing is these three months. Once they can survive these three months, their lives will be better.

Although the war and the Wu army's policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside have caused Jiaozhou's economy to be severely damaged, if it wants to return to its original level, it will definitely not work without a two or three years of situation.

However, when order was initially restored, only if the people had land to grow, could they have food to eat. In this way, the burden on the Wei army could be reduced. At least, the Wei army would not have to travel thousands of miles to transport grain and grass to help the people of Jiaozhou.

As for the food and taxes in Jiaozhou that could meet the supply of the Wei army, Yang Hu did not have this extravagant hope. After all, with the economic ability of Jiaozhou, it would be difficult for him to support 80,000 troops even when it was in full swing.

Therefore, Yang Hu never had the intention to exploit the people of Jiaozhou. Even when the Wei army was not well fed and there were many difficulties, Yang Hu tried his best to find a way without exploiting the people.

If you want to calm the people, you must first regain the hearts of the people. Fortunately, when the Wu army retreated, they snatched all the food and supplies of the people and pushed the people into a desperate situation. Shi Ji and Tao Ji's operations were simply a magical assistance. Yang Hu was still considering what method to regain the hearts of the people in Jiaozhou. Shi Ji and Tao Ji's actions gave Yang Hu a great opportunity at once.

If a person who has just eaten his fill, he may not be grateful for his food, and he may even be picky and picky about this and that. If a person who is about to starve to death, this bowl of rice will likely save his life. For him, this is a great favor.

Therefore, food should be given to hungry people and medicine should be given to the sick people, so that the efficiency of winning people's hearts can be easily achieved.

Now Shi Ji and Tao Ji are doing things against each other, not only abandoning the people, but also robbing the food from the people, which makes the people angry and resentful. Yang Hu only needs to pay some food to easily recover the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou.

This deal is worth the most.

Now that the most difficult months have passed, even if the people of Jiaozhou cannot achieve self-sufficiency, they no longer need the full support of the Wei army. This has invisibly reduced the pressure on the Wei army.

The sufficient supply of food and grass has left Yang Hu without any worries at this moment. He can think carefully about Jilong Mountain in World War II.

However, attacking Jilong Mountain was not just a problem of food and grass. Although the Wei army was not prepared enough when attacking Jilong Mountain for the first time, the Wei army was indeed somewhat restrained from the supply of food and grass, but the biggest reason for the defeat was that they were not familiar with the environment and that they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Wu army.

The Wu army did not perform too well in the two battles between the Battle of Jieyang and the Battle of Xincheng, Panyu, and this inevitably made the Wei army think that underestimating the enemy, believing that the Wu army was just like this and was vulnerable.

When the Wei army launched an attack on Jilong Mountain with such a mentality, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Wu army. This time the Wu army's performance was completely unexpected, and it was even completely different from the previous Battle of Jieyang and Xincheng.

Under such circumstances, it became very difficult for the Wei army to take down Jilong Mountain. Although the Wei army never admitted defeat, this time, they did not take any point in the right time, place, and people. The battle was very difficult, so failure was inevitable.

Although Yang Hu summoned all the officers to discuss the gains, losses, successes and failures of this battle, it was still difficult for the Wei army to come up with a feasible offensive plan.

Some problems, even though they knew that they were weak links of the Wei army, were extremely difficult to change, so after discussion, everyone still did not confirm this new offensive plan.

Yang Hu was a little depressed, so he came to the beach to get some breath. Seeing the vast sea, Yang Hu's mood immediately improved. It seemed that the sea really had the function of healing mood.

Yang Hu asked his guards to keep a certain distance from him, and then walked alone on the beach to enjoy the quiet dusk beach time.

Halfway through, Yang Hu met an old sailor. He was about fifty years old and his frown had already covered his forehead. Perhaps because he often went to sea, his skin had already sunburned into a heavy bronze color, which had a very vicissitudes of texture.

This old sailor should be a crew member on a sea boat. Since sailing is different from sailing in rivers and lakes, it requires older sailors to use their rich experience to identify storms and reefs, so it is not uncommon for older sailors to be on sea boats.

Yang Hu immediately went up to talk, but it was not unexpected. This old sailor was from Rinan County, Jiaozhou. He had made a living at sea in his early years. In the past few decades, he had hardly returned to Rinan County.

After all, Rinan County has a sparse population and a backward economy. As the most remote county in Wu, it really has no sense of existence.

The old sailor is only responsible for guiding the route, and loading and unloading has nothing to do with him, so he leisurely stays by the beach while everyone is busy unloading.
