362 Logistics Manager

Chang'an City is controlled by the four major warlords in Guanxi.

The east city gate, Huangfu Song; the north city gate, Ma Teng; the west city gate, Han Sui; the south city gate, Zhan Xiaobai. The troops of the four major warlords each guard one city gate, balancing the situation in Chang'an City. The relationship between them is very complicated: Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers; Huangfu Song and Zhan Xiaobai are teachers and students; Ma, Han and Xiaobai are the three Liangs who control one side, but Huangfu Song has no territory; Ma, Han and Huangfu are both NPCs, Xiaobai is a player; Huangfu Song is the leader of the Guanxi league, and the other three are auxiliary.

The four major forces gather together for a common goal, and the struggle between them will directly affect the overall situation in Kansai.

Zhan Xiaobai was assigned to the position of the Governor’s logistics supply.

In the Kansai Alliance, only the princes are qualified to enjoy logistics supply treatment, as is the case with the Dong Zhuo Alliance and the Kansai Alliance. Therefore, the service objects of Zhan Xiaobai's logistics supply are the army of the NPC princes including Huangfu Song, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Song Yang, and the regular NPC army of the eighteen players and princes. Players who depend on the princes cannot obtain the supplies provided by the alliance and must find a way to solve the food and grass problem by themselves.

Ma Teng 27000 (7000 heavy cavalry), Han Sui 24000 (9000 heavy cavalry), Huangfu Song 18000 (mostly heavy armored infantry), Zhan Xiaobai 12000 (light cavalry), Song Yang 5000 (light cavalry). The NPC forces of the remaining seventeen players and princes range from 5000 to 10000, and most of them are horse walkers and scattered soldiers with various types of soldiers of level 30 to 60. They are not all of them like Sanliang. The combat power of the miscellaneous soldiers is obviously much weaker than Sanliang.

The total NPC troops "registered" by the princes of Huangfu Song Alliance was 196,321, which may be reduced due to death at any time. The larger number of "non-registered" NPC troops were not included in the supply list.

As long as Zhan Xiaobai transports the stored food and grass in Chang'an City on time to the hands of various princes, even if the task is completed, his troops do not need to go to the battlefield. Of course, he must be wary of players' jealousy of food and grass taking the opportunity to rob, fire, and water loss. The army must be used to transport food and grass for a long distance to ensure the safety of the baggage.

Zhan Xiaobai ordered Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Huangfu Li, Zhang Feng and others to quickly take over the affairs of Chang'an City Work Department, all warehouses, manufacturing departments, equipment warehouses, transportation departments... as long as they follow logistics, materials, and government departments next to the border, they will all be taken over and counted.

Tens of thousands of NPC craftsmen in Chang'an City were also collected by Zhan Xiaobai in the name of the government, and concentrated them in major workshop areas in the city, making baggage trucks, arrows, and siege equipment day and night to supply them to the army.

In addition, the core members of Qiushui, Chunqiu Shaoxia, A Fei, Tianbao and other key members began to count the number of available materials in Chang'an City.

Tianbao counted the grain and grass in Chang'an City and said worriedly: "Boss, there is not much grain and grass stored in Chang'an City, which is only enough for the three-month consumption of the 200,000 army. I think we must collect grain and grass supplies by collecting grain and grass from the player villages in Sanfu and one area. Otherwise, the army will use up all the grain and grass and drink all the northwest wind. However, the player village seems to have a tendency to evade taxes..."

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it and said with a smile: "I will propose to Huangfu Song that the tax and tax rates of all villages in Youfufeng, Jingzhaoyin and Zuofengyi will be adjusted from the original 5% to each village paying a fixed amount of grain and grass every month to avoid malicious tax evasion in the player villages. There are so many wealthy villages in the Sanfu area that their grain output is much stronger than our Liangzhou, and they are not afraid that they can't afford the grain."

The young hero of Spring and Autumn and A Fei looked at each other.

A Fei laughed treacherously and said, "Brother, you are collecting grain and taxes from the player's villages in the name of Chang'an Prefecture. Otherwise, you suggest to Huangfu Song that you should simply impose heavy taxes on Sanfu's villages and squeeze Sanfu's villages dry. We will also make some extra money from it. Anyway, no one knows that we did it, how about it?"

Qiu Shui picked up a book and knocked it over, knocking A Fei so hard that he screamed.

A Fei rubbed his head and looked unjust: "Sister Qiu Shui, what's wrong? I'm not wrong!"

Qiu Shui pretended to be angry and said, "Damn Ah Fei, if this news leaks out, wouldn't it ruin Brother Bai's reputation? In the thousands of villages of Sanfu, millions of players still hate Brother Bai! Let's have some bad ideas."

A Fei mumbled a few times, suddenly his eyes turned, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu Shui is so worried about his elder brother's reputation. It's not... that one!"

Qiu Shui's face turned red, she glanced at Zhan Xiaobai, quickly picked up the account book as thick as a brick and slapped at A Fei.

A Fei screamed in fear and jumped up.

The young hero of Chunqiu gloated and shouted: "A Fei, this time you are dead, and you will lose your skin even if you don't die!"

Zhan Xiaobai watched them play and smiled faintly, but he thought to himself: This is a good idea to weaken Sanfu Village and strengthen its own financial resources. However, with Huangfu Song's nature, he would probably not agree to this suggestion that could easily cause "people's grievances". It would be bad if Huangfu Song was unhappy because of this. Moreover, if the news leaked, it would be very offensive.

Zhan Xiaobai considered the gains and losses, and finally shook his head.

Tianbao said: "Boss, we lost thousands of light cavalry the day before yesterday, and more than 500,000 players were waiting to go to the battlefield to fight a battle, which was a big expense, and the large amount of military expenditure had not yet been settled. We cannot always let Wuwei County bear the expenses, otherwise it will drag down Wuwei. Look, should we consider it..."

"oh?"

Tianbao observed Zhan Xiaobai's face and said, "Chang'an City is rich in materials, and we are in charge of logistics. If we can 'save' in every link, it may be able to make up for a small part of our losses,..."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled.

It is no surprise that Tianbao would come up with this idea. When facing a lot of materials that do not belong to him but are in charge of him, few people can face them without being moved. Especially when they are "deficient" of materials, there are sufficient reasons to convince themselves to "save" part of it to improve their own situation.

A Fei’s suggestion is to open up the source of materials and open up the source of materials. The more materials, the more convenient it will naturally be to obtain a small part of them for other purposes. Tianbao’s suggestion is to reduce the cost of materials, reduce the way they go, save them, and make up for their own losses.

Opening up sources is easy to offend people, but as long as the cost of reducing expenditure is done secretly, it will not be a big deal.

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while, and Huangfu Song arranged his students in this position, obviously not wanting to give the benefits to outsiders. He smiled and said, "Well, you and A Fei will do this. It is enough for the Guanxi army to spend three months, especially to ensure the cost of Huangfu Song's army. As for other saved food and supplies, it will be used to improve the "food" of our army. We work hard to attack Dong Zhuo, so we can't lose money, right?"

Tianbao smiled and nodded, "I understand."

A Fei was excited and quickly pulled Tianbao to the side, thinking about how to save money.

The young man in Chunqiu shook his head and buried his head in dealing with his own affairs.

Zhan Xiaobai asked Qiushui to take a brief three-auxiliary topographic map and study another thing. Chang'an City has a lot of supplies and a lot of wealthy NPC families, but Zhan Xiaobai dared not move. With Huangfu Song in Chang'an City, not many people dared to do anything, and the public security is quite good. Therefore, Tianbao, A Fei and others can only obtain a small amount of benefits from food and grass supply, but cannot from other aspects...

Zhan Xiaobai did not value this little benefit in logistics, and he did not think that this little benefit could solve his losses and huge military expenditure.

There must be more wealth to fill the holes in the books of the Little White Alliance army.

His eyes focused on other npc towns in the Sanfu area, "Longxi, Jicheng, Chencang, Tianshui, Weinan, Qinchuan, Anyi, Jieliang, Shangdang, Pingyang...". The cities that Zhan Xiaobai swept by were all small towns built by the Npc government. These small towns did not exist, but the government had drawings of various levels in his hands, and the speed of building cities was much faster than that of players. Establishing a large number of small towns to share the pressure as the main cities. At present, they belong to Dong Zhuo's camp, and many Npc troops were stationed.

A large number of Guanxi princes were on standby in important places in various dangerous places, preparing to encircle and suppress Dong Zhuo's remnants of these small towns.

These cities are different from Chang'an. Chang'an has Huangfu Song in charge, but these cities do not. NPC's wealth is exposed to the player's army after losing the military guarantee of the government. The player's army has no scruples. As long as these small cities are captured, they can deal with whatever they want. The wealth of these cities is spoiled.

This is the main source of wealth in this war. You can get up early without any profit. Without these numerous small cities to attract, players and princes would not have such great passion and motivation to participate in the battle.

For all players, little princes, as long as they seize a small city, all their capital will be back.

Zhan Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Zhou Meng, the captain of the guard at the door, to "prepare the car and prepare for a trip to Huangfu Song's mansion."

Qiu Shui was puzzled: "Brother Bai, why are you looking for Huangfu Song now? I suggest you adjust the taxes to him?"

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's not just that. I want to ask Huangfu Song for a right, and I will coordinate the allocation of the 18th player lords' army and take the initiative in distribution."

Qiu Shui was even more confused: "Huangfu Song is the leader of the alliance, how could he ask Brother Bai to dispatch troops?"
