Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Su Yuanjing's next answer was simple and direct:

"The officials, if you have any questions about this, you don't have to worry about it."

"Because in recent years, the harvests in dozens of cities around the capital have been pretty good."

"Accumulating over the years, we currently have enough food in Tokyo to feed millions of people for several months."

The smile on Zhao Ji's face grew stronger, but he didn't wait to speak.

Wu Yong, who was standing aside but had not said a word for a long time, suddenly spoke at this moment:

"Even so, Wei Chen has thought of a better way."

"Although that method may be a little troublesome to implement."

"But if it can be implemented successfully in the future, not only can we relieve the siege of Tokyo City, but it may even be possible to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Wu Yong said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the minister's room.

Looking at Wu Yong at this time, he was slowly shaking his goose feather fan while his other hand was stroking the beard on his chin.

As for the expression on his face, it was even more stable:

"This is not just nonsense that Wei Chen just said, but he has already made specific plans in his heart."

"Before this, didn't the official department send ministers together with General Song to screen the Imperial Guards?"

"But after all kinds of screening, only more than [-] strong and strong soldiers were screened out."

"There are more than half a million old, weak and remnant soldiers who are weak and not suitable for fighting on the battlefield."

"If we compare it to other forces, the more than [-] old, weak and disabled soldiers are really useless."

"But here at Wei Chen, we can not only use the more than [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers properly."

"What's more, we can allow those more than [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers to make immortal contributions to our city of Tokyo."

Su Yuanjing frowned, and when he looked at Wu Yong with a faint smile on his face, his eyes were full of confusion:

"This, this Master Wu."

"Since those more than 80 soldiers are old and weak soldiers selected from the [-] forbidden troops, how can they go to the battlefield and fight the war?"

"Even if we forcefully order them to charge, what's the difference between letting the more than [-] old, weak and disabled soldiers die?"

"But if we don't let those more than [-] old remnants go to the battlefield and charge, what's the use?"

"Putting it in the city for no reason will only consume your own money and food."

"Unless you can send the more than [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers to the enemy's military camp to eat up and use up the opponent's food and salary resources."

"If not, I really can't think of any use for the more than half a million old, weak and remnant soldiers."

As soon as Su Yuanjing said this, the people standing next to him almost laughed out loud.

And Zhao Ji, who kept laughing, couldn't help it anymore:

"Su Aiqing, will you send those more than [-] old remnants to the enemy's camp to eat and spend all their wages?"

"Such a method, such a method is really not something that ordinary people can think of."

"It's just such a method, but it's really not feasible."

After the laughter passed, Wu Yong came to Zhao Ji with a mysterious face:

"If the government officials and Wei Chen's method can be summed up in eight words in a simple way, that is, build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly."

"First of all, we must do our best to save face here."

"We must make the other party believe that we have already hit the head here."

"When the opponent's army presses the border, we here will send out our own brave generals to fight to the death with the opponent."

"But the only thing we need to pay attention to is that we here must do our best and be brave."

"It's best to make the fight between the two armies a win-win situation for both sides."

This Wu Yong said such unclear and incomprehensible words as soon as he came up.

Immediately, the other people in the room were confused.

But before those few people could ask their questions, they were about to speak out.

Wu Yong's words that followed immediately made everyone present gasp in admiration and get excited.

……

Early the next morning, Wu Yong and Song Jiang passed on the order to select generals.

As for its purpose, it is very simple.

They just wanted to send those generals out to fight with the enemy generals when the enemy troops were pressing forward.

There are many generals in Shuipo Liangshan who are extremely capable of conquering and fighting.

Finally, after more than a day of screening, five generals were temporarily selected:

The leopard-headed Lin Chong, the black whirlwind Li Kui, the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, and the green-faced beast Yang Zhi.

and four lieutenants:

Mu Hong is not blocked, Hou Jian is the monkey, Ou Peng is the golden wing of Moyun, and Jiang Jing is the divine fortune teller.

As for the other leading generals, they have all formed reserves and are ready to go to war at any time.

sunset.

A neatly dressed team was riding on tall horses, galloping rapidly towards the capital.

As the horse's hooves galloped, it also kicked up bursts of dust.

In the evening wind, it was scattered everywhere.

Running on one side of the army was a dark-faced, fat man.

Dirty, with hair pulled back wildly.

On the plump face, a pair of black eyes were constantly looking at both sides of the army.

From time to time, he would grin and mutter:

"It's weird, it's really weird."

"Why did I not see so many fleeing people when I led my army a few days ago?"

"But since yesterday, there have been more and more of these so-called fleeing people."

"Most of the men are old, weak and disabled."

"If you keep running like this, where do you want to go?"

At this moment, the man's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Because less than a hundred meters in front of him, thousands more refugees in ragged clothes arrived.

After walking for a while, these people would stop to take a breath.

As for the things they hold in their hands, they are all different.

Either the one carrying a hoe or the sickle.

The general felt something strange in his heart, so he pulled a cavalryman from the side and ordered him to rush forward and ask about the fleeing people.

Why did so many fleeing people suddenly come out?

In less than a quarter of an hour, the messenger galloped back.

And the expression on that face is also extremely dull:

"Reporting to General Pang, what you are seeing right now are ordinary people living near Tokyo City."

"I heard that it won't take long before our army will fight over."

"So they all took their families and wanted to flee to Jiangnan and other places."
