Later in the evening, Du Guiyuan arrived.
The Blood-Cloth Army that Du Guiyuan previously led was originally considered a special forces unit.
But they rely more on their strong personal strength and have not realized the essence of special forces.
Yun Zheng patiently told Du Guiyuan the special operations ideas in his mind, including how to train those people and what they needed to be taught. He told Du Guiyuan everything at once.
They talked for more than an hour.
During this period, Xin Sheng brought the medicine to Yun Zheng several times, but Yun Zheng said to drink it later.
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Du Guiyuan was so shocked that he was speechless.
After a long time, Du Guiyuan finally came back to his senses with difficulty, and said with regret on his face: "If I had met His Highness earlier and heard His Highness' words earlier, perhaps the Blood-Cloaked Army would not have been annihilated..."
"The Blood-Cloaked Army is not destroyed! It's just lying dormant for the time being."
Yun Zheng said seriously: "I will definitely rebuild the Bloody Army!"
...
...
"I understand!"
Du Guiyuan nodded, "However, I can help with the training, but I can't lead them. They are destined to often go deep behind enemy lines alone. After all, I am disabled and can't hold them back."
"I have also thought about this problem, so I asked you to train them!" Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Once you train them and have experience, it will be easier to rebuild the Blood Clothes Army in the future."
He really hadn't thought of letting Du Guiyuan lead these people from the beginning.
Although he respected Du Guiyuan, he could not joke with those people's lives.
"good!"
Du Guiyuan nodded heavily.
"They are called the Eighteen Ghost Riders!"
Yun Zheng said sternly: "Remember, they are ghosts! Ghosts should not be seen by the enemy!"
He wants those people to come and go without a trace!
The people of Beihuan died without knowing at whose hands they died!
The invisible enemy is the most terrifying enemy!
Du Guiyuan thought about it silently and nodded heavily: "I understand!"
After Du Guiyuan said goodbye, Yun Zheng asked Xin Sheng to bring in the medicine.
His mouth was dry.
Just right, I'll use the medicine to moisten my mouth.
Seeing Yun Zheng finish the bowl of medicine in one breath, Xin Sheng couldn't help but say distressedly: "Your Highness, you should take care of yourself and don't exhaust yourself."
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I just have a common cold, I will be well soon."
well!
This little Loli is quite caring.
I don’t know when that tiger girl Chen Luoyan will be able to learn it.
…
Dingbei City.
After careful consideration, Huo Gu came to Dingbei City to find Wei Wenzhong.
In the end, Huo Gu was unwilling to let Yun Zheng erode the morale of his troops.
We must think of a way!
Huo Gu arrived at a very opportune moment.
Wei Wenzhong had just returned to Dingbei after inspecting the defense of Beilu Pass.
If Huo Gu had come a day earlier, Wei Wenzhong would not have returned yet.
As soon as he saw Wei Wenzhong, Huo Gu began to complain, which made Wei Wenzhong frown.
"Do you want me to allocate a large amount of meat and fine grains to your army?"
Wei Wenzhong asked calmly.
Huo Gu laughed dryly and said, "It would be best if the general could allocate some of it."
"Okay, no problem!"
Wei Wenzhong readily agreed, "If the soldiers from other divisions learn of this and mutinied because they were dissatisfied with my discriminatory treatment, you will be held responsible!"
"ah?"
Huo Gu's face changed drastically, and he quickly apologized, "It was my fault for not thinking it through."
"You still know that you are not thinking carefully?"
Wei Wenzhong's face suddenly fell, and he scolded angrily: "You are the general of a city, and you have the nerve to say such stupid things!"
It’s easy to allocate those supplies!
He only needs to tell the person in charge of military supplies and they will be transferred to Huo Gu immediately.
But after the transfer, what they face are endless troubles!
If he allocated these supplies to the defenders of Shuofang City, what would the soldiers from other units think when they found out?
"I really didn't think it through."
Huo Gu apologized again, and said bitterly: "But there is nothing I can do! If this continues, I am afraid that the people under my command will become the Sixth Prince's people!"
Wei Wenzhong was silent.
This is indeed a problem!
It is obvious that Yun Zheng is trying to win people's hearts!
It seems that what the prince said was right, Yun Zheng most likely has the intention of treason!
But it is obviously impossible to say that Yun Zheng has the intention of treason based on this incident.
If he dared to write a letter to Emperor Wen about this matter, saying that Yun Zheng had the intention of treason, he would definitely be the one in trouble.
But if we allow Yun Zheng to win people's hearts in this way, Huo Gu's people will sooner or later become Yun Zheng's people!
This is not a solution!
It would be of no benefit to them to let Yun Zheng grow bigger.
If Yun Zheng really raises an army to rebel in the future, the emperor will probably punish me for negligence!
But he couldn't force Yun Zheng to not improve the food for those soldiers!
Yun Zheng took out the silver himself, Huo Gu couldn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything either!
Thinking about the twists and turns here, even Wei Wenzhong began to have a headache.
The most urgent task is to foil Yun Zheng’s conspiracy!
But how to solve it? This is the big problem!
He wanted to break the impasse, but at the same time he couldn't create a rift with Yun Zheng and he couldn't let people think that he was targeting Yun Zheng.
Wei Wenzhong rubbed his head and tried hard to think of a solution.
As he was thinking about it, Wei Wenzhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"According to the way they eat, they should consume a lot of silver in a month, right?"
Wei Wenzhong asked with a smile.
Huo Gu nodded: "I have roughly calculated that even if we exclude the normal supplies, if we eat like this, the more than 10,000 people in the South Camp will consume at least 40,000 taels of silver a month!"
The meat here in Shuobei is mainly fish and mutton, supplemented by chicken, duck and other meats.
As winter approaches, there will be less and less fish, and the main meat will be mutton!
The price of mutton is relatively expensive.
Any sheep would sell for four or five taels of silver.
If they eat that way, even if each person only eats half a sheep a month, for more than 10,000 people to eat that much, it would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver.
This doesn’t even include the fine grains!
Including fine grains and other things, it would cost at least 40,000 taels of silver!
"Then how long do you think they can eat?" Wei Wenzhong asked again.
"this……"
Huo Gu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly how much silver the Sixth Prince has, but I guess that as a prince, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take out several hundred thousand taels of silver."
Yun Zheng's family is wealthy and can afford to spend.
But they can’t afford to waste time!
Not to mention eating like this for another three to five months, even if they continue to eat like this for half a month, the morale of the army will be on Yun Zheng's side!
Wei Wenzhong smiled and asked, "Do you know how many soldiers are being trained in various units?"
Huo Gu made a rough estimate and replied, "There should be at least 120,000 people!"
Nine Cities of Shuobei.
Except for Dingbei, Suining, Jing'an and Beiluguan, each city has two large camps of soldiers in training.
There are ten camps in total.
Even if each battalion only has 12,000 men, that’s a total of 120,000!
"There are more than 120,000 people. There should be about 125,000 or 126,000 people!"
Wei Wenzhong said with a smile: "There are so many. If we eat them all like this, it will cost more than 400,000 taels of silver a month..."
Huo Gu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he looked at Wei Wenzhong with surprise...
