The Unkind Human Chapter 74

During the march, they walked for eight hours and rested for four hours every day. During the rest time, Charles Chu had to discuss battle strategies and the allocation of food and fodder with the soldiers. Although it was Charles Chu's first time to go on an expedition, he arranged everything properly. The old general Bai Yunjiang was originally a little indignant that Charles Chu was young, but later he gradually accepted his advice.

Others thought that Charles Chu was gifted, but in fact, before the daily political meeting, Liam Wei would write down in detail the things to be coordinated, and then divide the handling methods he could think of into upper, middle and lower strategies, and write them down one by one, and give them to Charles Chu in advance so that Charles Chu would have a clear idea. When it came to the political meeting, Liam Wei usually didn't speak, not because he didn't understand anything, but because Charles Chu said things that he had mentioned to Charles Chu a long time ago.

"We will arrive at Xiang'ou Tomorrow. This is the only place with a large granary before the northwest border. The military order from the imperial city should have been issued. When we arrive, we can arrange for people to directly get the food and grass." Charles Chu drew a circle on the map. "Then divide the carriages loaded with food and grass into two batches. The first batch will go with the army, and the second batch will set off in five days. When the army has used up the food and grass of the first batch, the second batch will arrive. At that time, the first batch will turn around and go back to Xiang'ou Tou to get food and grass, and this cycle will repeat."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. This arrangement was a good one. It would not affect the speed of the army due to too much baggage. If the enemy attacked, the food and grass would not be taken away. Lian Yu sighed, "Your Highness is wise. This is easy and has a way to retreat. I can't compare with him."

Charles Chu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked up at Liam Wei. Liam Wei's eyes met Charles Chu's and he shook his head without expression. Charles Chu put down the teacup and continued, "The grain and grass have been decided in advance. Someone should keep an eye on the remaining grain in Xian'outuo at any time. If it is less than 30,000 shi, report it immediately. There must be no mistake on this one."
