There aren't quite 20,000 people here, but it's almost there.
But they can only eat a maximum of eighty sheep a day.
Many people were surviving on a little bit of meat and a big bowl of soup.
All the wild vegetables that could be dug around had been dug up by them.
Although they still had nearly four hundred sheep to eat, they did not dare to eat more.
This is five or six days' ration for so many people.
They have to rely on these sheep to survive one day at a time.
After learning about these people's situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Twenty thousand people and eighty sheep!
Forget eating the meat, even if you cook and eat the wool it still wouldn’t be enough!
...
...
No wonder these people look like this!
At this time, Miaoyin and the others had also finished reading the contents of the letter.
At this moment, the expressions of several people became particularly interesting.
I don’t know why, this is obviously a ridiculous thing, but they want to laugh.
Maybe it’s because Jia Yao gave Yun Zheng the good guy card!
"This... can it be like this?"
"So, Jiayao still expects us to take care of these old guys in their old age?"
"Isn't she dreaming too much?"
"that is……"
"By the way, what is this vicious plan that Jiayao mentioned?"
After a long time, several people started talking at the same time, feeling angry and amused.
The two sides are still fighting!
Why did Jiayao cause such a fuss with them?
Why do I feel like this woman Jiayao is daydreaming?
However, some people were very interested in the vicious plan that Jia Yao mentioned.
What kind of evil plot can be planned with these old and weak people?
"Think about it yourself first!"
Yun Zheng didn't tell them in detail.
He roughly guessed the evil plan that Jia Yao was talking about.
If it is really as he thought, once Jia Yao uses this vicious plan, they will probably be defeated!
Even if we win, it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory.
Putting aside his stance, Jia Yao is still quite humane.
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone couldn't help but think silently.
However, after thinking about it, they still couldn't figure out what this vicious plan was.
"What should we do now?"
Miaoyin shook her head and asked Yun Zheng with a somewhat amused look.
Who could have thought that Jia Yao would use this trick on them!
This woman is really cruel.
So many old and weak people were just left to them!
Isn’t she afraid that Yun Zheng will ignore these elderly people and let them all starve to death?
Does she really think Yun Zheng is a kind person?
However, having said that, Jia Yao's move was wise.
Instead of letting these people starve to death, it is better to work them hard and find a way to survive.
"What else can I do?"
Yun Zheng was speechless, and ordered Zhou Mi again: "Order all the sheep in the tribe to be slaughtered, and then send people to the rear to order Huo Gu to bring some injured or old and weak war horses to them as rations!"
"Are you really taking him away?" Zhou Mi was stunned.
"Bring your ass!"
Yun Zheng glared at Zhou Mi and said, "I will give them food so that they can live longer! If they want to run, then they can run! If not, they can stay here. Once we defeat the enemy forces in the Western Desert Corridor, we will come back and take them away!"
To be honest, for most of the people here, it is really useful to them.
Although these old people are old, they are experts in farming and grazing.
Bringing these people back will definitely be useful to them.
It's nothing more than consuming more food.
But the value they can create is definitely much greater than the food they consume.
Leaving these people alone and letting them starve to death will not bring any benefit other than venting the depression in your heart.
Anyway, he gave these people the opportunity to choose.
Give them a chance to live!
But if they want to run away after eating, don't blame yourself!
If they ran away, it would actually add burden to Beihuan.
Qu Zhi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If we ignore these old people, they will all starve to death. We can take this opportunity to undermine Jia Yao's prestige!"
"It won't do much damage."
Yun Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Beihuan's situation is clear to them, and they have no choice but to do this! In a sense, Jia Yao is trying to find a way out for these old people..."
Since these elderly and weak people have chosen to stay, it should be basically voluntary.
In this case, how much impact will it have on Jiayao's prestige?
Honestly speaking, if we leave these old and weak people alone, it will have a greater impact on them.
This will be an account to be paid attention to when governing Beihuan in the future!
After this battle, Dagan and Beihuan each gained something!
In addition to these old men, they also captured a number of young and strong people, especially those from the Mongols and Zhenhe tribes.
If nothing else, there are certainly enough people digging coal!
For Beihuan, although it also lost some soldiers and horses, the loss was not great. If these old people could be handed over to them, it would not only reduce Beihuan's food consumption, but also provide these old people with a way of survival.
Moreover, without the burden of these old and weak people, the Beihuan tribe can move faster.
If they don't need to raid the royal court and don't need to support Qin Qihu and his men, he can retreat with these people now!
From the perspective of war, Jia Yao lost.
But from a strategic point of view, Jiayao did not lose.
After listening to Yun Zheng's analysis, everyone was surprised.
There are so many twists and turns here.
After thinking for a while, Qu Zhi frowned and said, "All the tribes around here have moved away. We were delayed before, and now we are delayed again. If we attack the royal court again, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
"We must attack even if we don't have time!"
Yun Zheng said without hesitation: "The tribes here have migrated, but the tribes around the royal court have not! Only by raiding the tribes over there and getting supplies can we rush to support Yu Shizhong and the others as soon as possible!"
At this point, raiding the royal court became secondary.
They must rush to support Yu Shizhong and his men.
Although they are not many in number, they are also a fresh force!
As long as they attack from behind, the Beihuan soldiers in the Moxi Corridor will know that the royal court has been attacked.
By then, their morale will drop rapidly.
These are all advantages for Yu Shizhong and others!
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense!"
Qu Zhi nodded in sudden realization.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, and immediately ordered people to herd the horses and collect fodder to prepare for Huo Gu and the others.
Their time is valuable.
They must launch a raid overnight!
If they had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, perhaps they could have changed the situation on the left wing army's side.
A little later, Huo Gu arrived with 5,000 troops and some seriously injured horses.
Yun Zheng immediately ordered his men to kill all the war horses.
If these old and weak people eat sparingly, this meat will be enough for them to survive for another 20 days.
Of course, if these people did not do anything themselves and let the meat rot, that would be another matter.
After the follow-up 5,000 troops had rested, Yun Zheng immediately led his troops to set off.
They still have about 9,000 people. For Beihuan today, this is a very threatening force...
