It's really inexplicable when you think about it, the side with the advantage of cavalry actually lost the initiative on the battlefield.

Judging from the current situation, the battlefield chosen by Shao Xun can only be at Fangtou.

The style of play was also chosen by Shao Xun - siege warfare.

The time for fighting is also limited - the sooner the better, because once the city is successfully built, it will be more difficult to fight.

This is so fucking bad!

****

In the north of Fangtou City, the fighting between the cavalry from both sides ended quickly.

Like Lu Ming, Shao Xun didn't read much, but sat directly behind the desk and started writing a letter.

The letter was written to the shogunate. There were no other requests, just one: transport more grain.

The construction of Fangtou City is a big project. The construction of water gates outside the north and south cities may take until the middle of winter, and the consumption will be huge.

This is also the limitation of city-building tactics.

But facing the side with the advantage of cavalry, there is no other way and the only choice is to play it safe.

The cities he built were actually military stations, which not only had to be able to station troops, but also had warehouses, which were quite large in scale.

The four directly governed counties have already collected taxes, and the rest can only be obtained from the powerful families of Henan.

In fact, they have already given a batch of military rations, but it is not enough and they still have to ask for it.

Shao Xun first wrote a letter to his father-in-law. What he didn't say was that his relatives should take the lead.

The Yu family doesn't provide food, so you expect other families to provide food?

After writing this letter, he wrote to his two military advisers in the Yanzhou shogunate, Bian Dun and Lu Qiuchong.

Especially the Bian family of Jiyin is a wealthy family in Yanzhou. During the heyday of the Six Dragons of the Bian family, I don't know how much benefit they brought to the family, but now the family has a solid foundation.

What I didn’t say, provide food!

Next came the relatively close noble clans such as the Wang family of Chen County, the Yuan family of Yangxia, and the Taiyang family.

After you finish writing it, take it back in a sealed envelope.

Awkward? It seems a bit.

But that’s the background of the times.

Shi Le withdrew his troops from Gepi, and the powerful families of the aristocratic family could only fortify their walls and clear the country, so that Shi Le's large army could eat each other.

Even Liu Cong, who was known as the "two hundred thousand horseman", had to be polite to the Pei family, Liu family, Xue family, Song family, Wang family and other Bingzhou noble families.

They can't beat you, but they can hold you back and make you fail in the competition with your opponents.

Once the city-building tactics are pushed all the way, the wealthy families in Henan will definitely "want to die", and Shao Xun seems to have seen the expressions on their faces.

Haha, the cash machine smells terrible.

After putting down his brush, he climbed onto the city wall again and looked at the sunset on the horizon.

At the end of the horizon, a team of carriages and horses is returning.

The officers and soldiers of the Silver Spear Army escorted thousands of auxiliary soldiers and returned after cutting grain.

It's August, and the autumn harvest is around the corner. There is a lot of grain waiting to be harvested in the fields, which can be used to supplement military rations.

This move will certainly offend the powerful nobles in Hebei, but it can't be controlled that much.

If we win, everyone will forget these bad things.

Even if you can't win, there is no need for this hatred.

The night had completely fallen, and it was dark inside and outside Fangtou. It was so quiet that it didn't look like a war was about to break out. Or maybe, this was just the calm before the storm.

(I forgot to update regularly this morning...Starting from tomorrow, I will be updated three times a day. All the soldiers will supervise me. If I don’t achieve it, they will kill me and I will get gold coins. After midnight tonight, the monthly ticket will be doubled, so kill me.)
