Chapter 382: The Status Quo of Longhua

Huang Xu sent Huangfu Chaobo back to his room and was about to leave when Huangfu Chaobo suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Xiao Xu, you have to take good care of Wu Die and Xiao Yu these few days, without me I agree with you, the two are not allowed to leave Longhua, I will look for them after I finish my business, remember, if you don't keep an eye on them, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes, don't worry, uncle, my nephew must be very optimistic about them." After finishing speaking, he exited Huangfu Chaobo's room. After going out, he looked at Zhang An, and then he was relieved, and then wiped the sweat off his head . Turning his head to Dian Wei, he said, "Nephew Huang Xu has met Uncle Dian! Uncle Dian, take a good rest today, and the nephew who will be on duty today will make arrangements." Only at this time did Huang Xu have time to formally greet Dian Wei.

Dian Wei nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Huang Xu, only to see that Huang Xu just gave way slightly, dispelling Dian Wei's strength. "That's right, that's right. Your father asked me to check whether your skill has fallen. Just now, Lao Dian used seven or eight percent of his strength, but you resolved it so easily. It seems that you haven't relaxed in the past few years. Another day Uncle Dian will accompany you to practice well. You will definitely be on duty, but Lao Dian just lives next door to the young master."

"If that's the case, please invite Uncle Dian." After saying that, Huang Xu brought Dian Wei to the next room. As for the guard at the gate, Zhang An has arranged for soldiers to watch the night. After taking two steps, Huang Xu suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang An: "Brother An, send someone to order the Tangtougou gate guard to close the gate from now on. No one is allowed to enter the pass without my uncle's or my warrant. Those who have been dealt with by military law."

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after breakfast, Huangfu Chaobo called everyone over. Even the two girls, Huang Wudie and Zhao Yu, were forcibly pulled over by Huangfu Chaobo, because they actually They are all adults, but there is no elder to arrange a ceremony, so they are not generals yet. Huangfu Chaobo is going to take both little girls back this time.

After everyone arrived, Huangfu Chaobo signaled Huang Xu to tell everyone about the situation in Longhua. Longhua Town has been established for several years. However, because it is outside the Great Wall, there are not as many refugees as in the Central Plains. In addition, the main energy is still on horse training, so the development is not fast. .

However, despite this, the population has reached nearly 15,000 people, among whom there are about 300 craftsmen of various kinds, among which the horse trainers under Huyanda are the most precious, there are about 40 people, these are still from the past. It was selected from the more than 10,000 Wuhuan and Xianbei people captured by Gongsun Zan's army, which shows the rarity of this skill. As for the soldiers, there were 1,000 infantry {including 300 sword and shield pikemen each, and 400 archers}, and 1,000 cavalry {400 sword cavalry and about 600 archer cavalry}, plus Zhang If the four hundred crossbowmen brought by Ancong Changshe are added to the four hundred and third-rank soldiers brought by Huangfu Chaobo this time {knife and shield guards, long spear guards, longbow soldiers, and tiger and cardinal cavalry each one hundred}, Now there are more than 2,800 soldiers in Longhua Town.

According to a normal ratio, a town of 15,000 people can support 1,500 infantry at most, and if it is cavalry, the number is probably only a few hundred. Buy a lot of food in the city, otherwise it really can't be maintained.

As for the internal affairs, Huang Xu did quite well. All the buildings in the town are readily available. However, many shops are just because there are no players, and the benefits are basically not very good. In addition, after attacking the Xianbei camp some time ago, 2,000 prisoners of various ethnic groups were rescued, and more than 4,000 Xianbei prisoners were captured. Because of the population of the town, Huang Xu has not yet included them in the town.

As for food and weapons and equipment, because of the geographical location of food and the fact that there is not much land suitable for farming around, it is impossible to maintain the needs of 20,000 people by growing food alone. According to the request, every month Huang Xu will arrange for someone to come back from Xu Wu to buy food,

Up to now, Longhua Town has accumulated 300,000 shi of grain, plus the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep raised by herdsmen in the town, these are enough food for 50,000 people for a year.

But because there are no player activities, the accumulation of raw materials is far inferior to that of villages and towns in the Central Plains, so the reserves of various weapons and equipment in the town are far from enough to support a long-term war. You know, cold weapons Although war is not as demanding on logistics as hot weapons, the number of damage and replacement of related weapons and equipment is also astonishing. This is what Huangfu Chaobo gradually learned after participating in the several months of battles where the princes crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Back then, there were hundreds of thousands of pieces of weapons and equipment in the camps of the princes who were tens of miles away. It is processed and manufactured in the barracks, plus the weapons recovered from the battlefield are repaired.

After Huang Xu finished introducing the situation, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Everyone knows the situation in Longhua now. For Xianbei people, it will be a year later or a few months sooner. They will definitely go south. Especially Yuwenbu, If you know that your thousands of troops have not only failed to take advantage, but also wiped out the entire army, you will definitely not let it go. Everyone will talk about how we should do things to keep us or this place on the grassland where I am a big man? This deed is firmly stuck in the chest of the Xianbei people?"

Tian Yu saw Huangfu Chaobo's eyes on him, and knew that as a new investor, he should also show some strength to everyone. So he stood up and said, "Let's throw bricks and attract jade first."

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo nodded slightly, Tian Yu went on to say: "It's winter now, and the Xianbei people are in the period of cat winter, so the army will definitely not move lightly, so even if we get the news that the entire army of the Yuwen Department has been wiped out, the army will not move." It will take until March next year to go south, and then it will take at least three or four months for the army to arrive at the place where we attacked the camp last time, and then wait for them to settle down and find Longhua. It is estimated that it will be autumn. If we continue to siege Long, there will only be a few months before winter, so we only need to hold out for three to four months, and the Xianbei will surely retreat."

After hearing this, everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, knowing that there must be something more to say next, Huangfu Chaobo didn't interrupt, but nodded slightly to signal him to continue talking.
