"First talk about the genus of cattle, horse and livestock. The grasslands near Daiwang City are lush, but the Luochuan thieves themselves do not make a living by grazing, but obtain such materials through two small affiliated tribes. When we were fighting against Luochuan, these two tribes sent some strong people to help the war according to the requirements of the Luochuan thieves. Their headquarters have been heard and spread a lot of dozens of miles away. At this moment, it is estimated that most of the materials in this regard cannot be counted. What is determined in our hands is the stock of several cattle, horse and corrals in Daiwang City..." Shao Xu glanced at the book in Lu Yao's hand: "General, the specific numbers are here. There are more than 800 young animals, and more than 300 strong and plowing oxen."

"It's very good!" Lu Yao said with satisfaction.

"Yes. Let's talk about money. Luochuan thieves are used to kidnapping and looting, and the merchants are suffering from it. Over the past decades, their family's fortunes are extraordinary. Just now, with the help of General Xue, we have questioned two secret warehouses in the Marshi Fort. One is in the tower west of the fort, and the other is in the mansion of the fortress. In a hidden room on the north side of the hall, the two warehouses contain millions of spring goods, gold, silver, cloth and other things."

"As for the armour..." Shao Xu stood up and turned a page for Lu Yao: "Please look, General. In this battle, we seized more than 1,300 armor and weapons, of which about 60% of the intact equipment could be used immediately. In addition, in the secret warehouse of the fortress master's mansion, there are more than 40 iron armor and more than 200 leather armor. Thirty-four military long and short bows and six crossbows."

Due to the limitations of smelting technology at that time, the loss rate of weapons and armor in combat was very high. A few head-on knocks were enough to destroy a refined head knife. This is especially true for armor. Armor fragments are very common. For ordinary military families, even the shattered cylindrical armour can be treasured as a family heirloom. And crossbows are even more important military weapons that cannot be found easily.

It is a great reward to be able to find these many weapons at once.

At the same time, Lu Yao really appreciates Shao Xu's common affairs. Although Lu Yao and Xue Tong and others are familiar with the trivial affairs in the army, the focus is not on these miscellaneous matters. Since gathering Ji Sang's defeated soldiers to establish the army, many logistics matters have been maintained. It was not until he passed by Zhongshan that he began to hand it over to Shao Xu. A few days ago, Shao Xu was still a little busy, but at this moment, looking at his expression, he was obviously familiar with all matters and was suitable for everything, busy but not messy. This is not something that a so-called famous scholar who has read a lot of mysterious and subtle principles can do. It not only requires meticulous thoughts, solid implementation skills, but also rich experience.

Lu Yao read the document several times, put it back on the table, and said to Shao Xu sincerely: "After taking down the Dai Royal City, all the affairs were complicated and chaotic. Thanks to Mr. Shao, it was possible to handle it in such an orderly manner. Mr. Shao, thank you for your hard work."

Shao Xuxun thanked him a few words. Lu Yao thought for a while and continued, "Old Xue, aren't we originally carrying some of the funds requisitioned from Zhongshan and other counties? From today on, we will be merged into one place and dealt with by Shao Gong."

"Yes." Xue Tong and Shao Xu responded in unison.

Xue Tong has a strong and steady personality, and is a rare steadfast person in Lu Yao's army. Therefore, Lu Yao often uses him to serve as the central army and supervise food and fodder logistics. The wealth they recruited from Jizhou is naturally in the hands of Xue Tong. Now that they have seen Shao Xuchangcai in person, Lu Yao stripped these meticulous matters from Xue Tong and transferred them to Shao Xu for responsibility: "Although Mr. Shao is very talented, he can't be busy alone. Lao Xue and I will transfer several elite cadres to listen to them. In the future, if the gentleman thinks there is any person who can help with him, he can recruit them directly, and there is no need to pay attention to me."

Lu Yao touched the short beard under his jaw and said slowly with some apology: "Duke Shao, you are a great clan of Anyang and a famous scholar in Jizhou. He himself once served as an official of 2,000 stones. Lu was young and had a poor reputation and a normal position. He did not dare to surrender the post of the minister. However, the master once said, "Does it be correct? If the name is not correct, it will be difficult to accomplish. If you do not abandon it, Duke Shao may be the chief officer of the general Yamen. But he did not know..."

"How dare you refuse what you wish?" Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Shao Xu left the table and saluted solemnly: "Shao Xujin received the order."

On the way north to Jizhou, Lu Yao and Shao Xu planned various matters together, and they felt deeply involved in the agreement. They both felt that they had met rare talents. Besides, both of them were from the King of Chengdu in the past, so they naturally felt a little close. Not to mention that Lu Yao annihilated the kidnapped thieves in Anyang to rescue Shao Zhu, and had a kindness with Shao Xu. Despite this, as the leader of the Shao clan of the Anyang clan and one of the famous scholars in Hebei, Shao Xu would not easily recommend himself.

Since Lu Yao proposed the plan to seize the county, Shao Xu has been counseling. No one is more familiar with the steps that have become reality or have not yet been implemented. And when this young general successfully took the foundation in Dai County, it was natural to respond to his sincere solicitation.

"Okay! Great!"

Although the two had a tacit understanding, Lu Yao was still very happy. He stood up and looked around, took out a set of tea sets from a hollow wooden stand in the corner of the house. He Yun was standing outside the door. He was a person with vision. He hurried forward, took the water bag, and filled three tea cups.

"There is no tea or wine, only clear water can welcome Mr. Shao. Mr. Shao will not think that we are just slow and slow."

The three of them left the table, laughed, and raised their glasses to drink.

When you are seated again, your position will be clear and different from before.

Although the Hu clan coalition forces are completely missing, it is a big problem; the first thing to deal with is its own military and political affairs.

"Since entering Dai County, our army fought for two days and three days, the core soldiers were very tired, so I planned to hold a banquet to comfort the entire army tonight. Please ask Mr. Shao to organize it properly for me." Lu Yao thought, "The silk, gold, treasures and so on seized this time have been carefully collected and will not be used for the time being. Only money can be roughly divided into tens, and today it will be used for rewards. The soldiers who came with Jizhou took two points, and the surrendered soldiers from Dai County who were incorporated into the army yesterday took one point. The sergeant's gains are twice as good as ordinary soldiers, and the sergeant's gains are twice as good as the sergeant's gains."

He walked a few steps behind his hands and continued, "As for the officers above the team leader, I will not be listed here. I will personally weigh the pros and cons of it later. In addition, during the two days of combat, soldiers with extraordinary achievements and bravery came up with the statistical lists of each department, and the number was limited to fifty people, and I will also be awarded by myself."

Shao Xu bowed seriously and said, "Yes."

He is not the one who only talks about the mystery of Taoism. He has read military books all day long and was familiar with military affairs when he was aide to the King of Chengdu. Although Lu Yao's few words seem to be casual, they fall into Shao Xu's ears, they know that there is a deep meaning in it.

Lu Yao's subordinates at this moment had very few true loyal subordinates, only more than 20 people from the Jinyang Army. The rest of them were just from the Qihuo Army. Most of them were surrendered from the bandits, or from Hebei bandits under Jisang's subordinates, or from Mihu horse bandits in Dai County. The difference was only the length of the surrender. Although they had high combat quality, their fighting will was low; and because they were driven to fight to the northern border after the new surrender, they were at a time of suspicion. Drive these people must give high rewards in time to inspire their hearts.

The Dai Wang City was taken at noon and the reward was given in the evening. It is not untimely. The rewards account for 30% of the seized, which is 300,000 yuan, which is not unreasonable. The "Three Notes on Taigong" says: "The wealth and virtuous people do not love money, and the rewards do not exceed the timely rewards, which refers to this.

There are differences in the specific reward targets. In comparison, those from Jizhou were old subordinates. The old subordinates had to focus on appeasement, so they occupied most of the reward standards. The soldiers surrendered in Dai County and newly-submitted people had not yet achieved their merits. Although they were rewarded, the number was small. Compared with their colleagues, they could inspire them to work hard to kill the enemy and fight. The soldiers from the Qihuo Army were the most reliable, so they were promoted in previous reorganizations. At this time, most of them had been appointed as grassroots officers such as sergeant commanders. The rewards they received were different from ordinary soldiers.

Different amounts of rewards were given to soldiers from three different sources, but they could reflect justice. If there were any failures to perfection, they would be compensated with special treatment. Among the two thousand troops, fifty of whom had the most outstanding military achievements and the most heroic reputation, Lu Yao personally presented the reward. These fifty people were all backbones of the army and must have their appeal. Lu Yao personally praised and gave them generous rewards, so that they could further master the army and also gave ordinary soldiers the motivation to make contributions.

Even Shao Xu, who is the chief secretary, cannot intervene in the rewards of officers above the team leader. Such authority must be entirely determined by Lu Yao and will never be left alone.

Shao Xu's thoughts changed rapidly and carefully determined Lu Yao's intentions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt impressed.

It should be noted that although power and strategy are small ways, they also have their own unique uses. Shao Xu asked himself that there are indeed few generals who have known in his life, such as Lu Yao, who can be fully understood by casual words. Such talents are almost a heavenly master. If you have to look at them carefully, it seems that only the ancestor Zhi, who lives in Yangping County, can be compared with that.
