The soldiers and horses were not moved to travel safely, and the soldiers who were fighting and riding the horses on the bush all needed to eat and eat grass. Logistics and supplies were the first priority.

The number of Ming troops who came to Pyongyang this time exceeded 30,000, and the number of horses was over 10,000. People ate horses, and chewed them. The transportation capacity required was quite amazing.

Every time a large army is dispatched, the transportation of food and supplies is a headache. Before entering North Korea, the Ming Dynasty had a plan, that is, the size of North Korea is considered a country. When a large army enters North Korea to fight, food supplies and other things are solved on the spot. My Ming soldiers fought bloody battles for you, and you can't stand by and watch, and supplying some food and supplies is a matter of course.

However, the result of asking the Korean monarch and ministers was surprising. North Korea did not cover up any concealment. It directly said that if 10,000 troops were on Ping'an Road, it might be able to last for one month. If the Huanghai Road was recovered, there might be food for three months. There were 200,000 bent bandits in North Korea. If the Ming Dynasty sent 10,000 troops to come, wouldn't it be a death?

At this point, the Ming Dynasty officials were helpless and simply lowered their requirements, saying that if the Ming Dynasty came here with money to buy it on the spot, the Koreans were always stingy, perhaps they were reluctant to give up food for nothing. The Ming Dynasty had to fight in this battle, because the Ming Dynasty could not tolerate such a great enemy in North Korea.

But North Korea's answer was even more helpless. Several granaries in North Korea were all at the hands of the hunchbacks. Even if the heavenly soldiers wanted to buy them, North Korea had no food to sell. North Korea had no choice but to imagine, and it could only organize the transportation of food, grass and supplies in accordance with the Ming Dynasty's exit and combat regulations.

Speaking of overseas marches, the distance from North Korea to Daming is actually not much further than that from Guihua City to Datong. However, when Wang Tong marched to Guihua City in Datong Town that day, he had already gathered transportation teams from all over the place. Shanxi merchants also made efforts from multiple sources. Datong Town itself, as a major border town, also accumulated enough food and grass. The most important point was that at that time, Wang Tong only carried ten days of military rations, and the rest were prepared to go to Guihua City to raise funds and use the enemy's grain storage to supplement his home. There was a risk in this, but in the end it was just right.

Liao Town seems to be close, but in fact there are various differences. First of all, the border area adjacent to southern Liaoning and North Korea is a desolate and poor place in Liaoning and sparsely populated. The town of Liaoning's general itself needs to supply food and grass in western Liaodong. It is still the case that the situation has improved after the continuous import of grain from the reclamation farms outside the border wall in the past two years.

Under such circumstances, a base camp was set up in the Yizhou area in southeastern Liaoning. From then on, the army set out to North Korea. The grain and grass logistics had to be transferred from Liaoning and various places within the pass, and then collected in Yizhou and then transported to Jingxian.

Transportation requires manpower and animal power, and people and livestock also need to be eaten and consumed. During transportation, it is also a journey of continuously consuming food and grass. It uses manpower and chariots to transport materials from Guannei and western Liaodong to southern Liaoning. The transportation itself consumes a huge amount. Now Wang Tong is leading a large army into Liaoning, and the supply of these troops is also a large number. It is deducted from everywhere, and the stock of food and grass gathered in Yizhou is very limited.

Moreover, the consumption of food and grass by the Liaoning soldiers led by Li Rusong is smaller than that of the army led by Wang Tong, but the consumption of food and grass is not much less.

Not to mention anything else, the consumption of more than 10,000 horses is amazing. Moreover, Li Rusong's troops and horses are different from the imperial guards. They are still the old rules in the past and treat infantry and civilians very harshly on weekdays, but when it comes to war, they eat as well as they can. Needless to say, the waste generated everywhere is an astonishing amount.

The Ping An Road is just the area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. The distance required to transport food and grass is limited, and the transportation itself is still limited, so it can maintain supply.

But now the Yizhou base camp is very tight, and the supply to this front-line force is very difficult. Although the people are full of food and the food route is not broken, they are swaying on a horizontal line, and a little too much will cause trouble.

Compared with Li Rubai and others who were still rough and frivolous, Li Rusong had been practicing in Xuanfu for several years, and had seen and heard more, and he became much more calm. He was very concerned about the calculation of military supplies and food. He had been paying attention to the food and food along the way, and there were enough guards on the food and food routes.

However, what disappointed Li Rusong was that neither the villages and towns of Pyeong An Road nor the Pyeongyang City did not have much grain storage, which was not enough to support a longer battle.

The so-called thirty miles southward, military rations may not be able to be provided. It is not an exaggeration, but the current situation. The longer the distance to transport military rations, the greater the transportation itself is. Now it is maintained on a critical line. If it is a slight excessive amount, there will be problems. "Brother, you are thinking too much. When we move forward a hundred miles, we can take down the North Korean road and raise military rations on the spot!"

Seeing Li Rubo talking about this indifferently, Li Rusong finally got angry and stood up and said, "Bastard, how much food has Lu Kou stored in the city? Didn't the Korean man caught say that Lu Kou's food must also be transported from Gyeonggi Province? What kind of food does Huang Hai Road have? Without military rations, these guys under our command will probably be in chaos soon, and they won't even cry when they are crying!"

Li Rubo wanted to talk back, but when he saw Li Rusong's eyes glaring and his face was full of anger, he muttered a few words but did not dare to speak. Li Rusong turned to Li Rumei and said, "You can go to the head yourself. Reporting merits is secondary. You must keep a close eye on military rations and supplies. The food and grass are cut off for three days, and we can't even stay in Pyongyang City. Do you understand?"

Li Rusong's sudden rage made Li Rumei very scared, and she nodded repeatedly there.

…………

In the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, Li Rusong, the general of Xuanfu, entered the court with great victory. This news spread very quickly, far exceeding the rumors of normal military newspapers and official documents.

The whole Liaoning knew that nearly a thousand cavalry of the Li family in western Liaoning were used to do this. They rushed to speed up the horses everywhere and spread the news of this great victory to all parts of the world, especially in the capital. Censors have already made suggestions, saying that the Li family's victory was an excellent momentum, and it would be better to go with the flow and let the Li family be the head coach, take advantage of the victory and pursue, etc. This statement was naturally sneered. Now it is just a victory in Ping'an Road, and it is a rush to chase the enemy out of the city. There is no big annihilation battle. The bent bandits simply retreat rather than defeat.

As for the heads sent here, there were 3,000 people here and there, and they were beheaded more than 10,000 yuan. This record was really brilliant. I remember that when General Qi was traversing the southeast and fought for so many years, there were no more beheaded bandits than this one.

However, for this brilliant record, Liaoning Governor Xu Guangguo and Jinyiwei stationed in Liaoning explained the memorials and the public debt, and recognized the number, but they all mentioned in the official document, "There are the number of people in the North Koreans who are unknown..."

Killing good and winning the credit is not a big deal in the Ming Dynasty. With this sentence, everyone will understand that there is water in this great victory. As for how much water is, everyone cannot judge it clearly, but the new deduction in their hearts is inevitable.

The Li family was in the capital, but Li Rumei was in Yizhou. She originally thought that escorting the head to report merit was a great job, at least everyone would give me a smile. This is right. Governor Xu Guangguo and the Liaonan General were quite cooperative in the inspection of the head. The Li family was still worried that the other party would tamper with the head, which was a waste of worries.

However, Li Rumei asked Xu Guangguo to send food and grass to the Li family soldiers in Pyongyang City, but this proposal was rejected. Liaoning Governor Xu Guangguo replied very clearly: "The Liao Duke led a large army to arrive, and there is still insufficient food and grass in Yizhou. If you have the spare energy to send it to Pyongyang, please ask General Li of Xuanfu to defend Pyongyang and sweep the Pyongyang Road and Ning'an Road to hukou and attack the enemy, waiting for the army to come to aid."

Before leaving Pyongyang, Li Rusong and Li Rumei understood that it was impossible to expand the results of the battle without food and grass. Li Rumei didn't know anything else, but knew the significance of the expansion results to the Li family, so she naturally refused to give up.

No one can compare to civil servants when he whispered his skills. Xu Guangguo was able to get up from the local area step by step. This skill was even more perfect. After several dealings, Li Rumei had not even had a good year. Every day he asked for pleads, debates, and quarreled. "The Li family can be an official, and Li Rumei is not an ignorant newbie. Seeing this, he naturally prepared all the gifts. Who in Liaoning knows that Xu Guangguo is so greedy. He is a character who is jealous of money. However, he did not expect that this gift was of no use. The officers and the gatekeepers were ordered, and Shu Dao didn't even let the door enter.

"May Lord Fujun cannot bear to see our Li family making contributions and just wait for the Duke of Liao to come and pick up this ready-made cheap?"

After a few times of hard work, Li Rumei was also anxious and said this directly. Xu Guangguo could not get in from the sand in his eyes, so he immediately slapped the table.

"I am the command of the army and horses of the court this time. Under the Duke of Liao, I am the coordinated arrangement of my official. How can you not be your turn to speak? If it weren't for your Li family to be here, wouldn't you be the one who was here? "

If he really wants to break up, Xu Guangguo is not weak and has no reason to make any mistakes at all. When he said this, Li Rumei could only apologize and express his mistakes.

"Since you have this idea, I will simply take you to the warehouse to see if I have deceived you and deliberately stuck your Li family's neck."
