Shen Lin had a plan in mind.

He waved his hand and said indifferently.

"It's okay!"

"Didn't your father say that the Uighurs' horses, cattle and sheep cannot enter the city?"

"Think about it until he gathers half a million troops again."

"A war horse costs over a million, right?"

"Where can the people of the Western Regions have so much refined fodder?"

"Why don't you go out of town to graze?"

"Not to mention cattle and sheep, there are so many that you can't even imagine."

Lu Zhichang suddenly sighed.

"Including those captured today, our war horses are nearly half a million!"

"I never imagined that one day I would worry about having too many war horses."

"Whether we can afford to keep them after grabbing a few more batches is still a question."

It's really a headache.

Why do grassland tribes like to fight in autumn and winter?

Because autumn is high and horses are fat, they have the strongest fighting power.

In the north, new pasture does not grow until April or May.

Just a little bit of green can be seen.

Where do they have any concentrate to feed the horses?

Just watching the war horses lose weight day by day, over and over again.

Go south to herd horses.

In addition to looting, finding some food for the war horses is also the purpose.

It is completely reasonable for Lu Zhichang to be worried.

Half a million war horses!

Too huge.

Even if a war horse only feeds five kilograms of concentrate a day.

It takes about 600,000 tons a month.

Winter lasts four to five months.

For Shaanxi Road, which is not originally wealthy.

The burden of raising so many war horses is too heavy.

Shen Lin suddenly remembered something.

"I remember that the Western Han River in Qinzhou leads to the Jialing River. Can a three thousand dan cargo ship run?"

"Cattle and sheep are much more docile than war horses."

"Lao Lu, you can use your cattle and sheep to go to Sichuan Road in exchange for grains!"

"Every time you go in or out, it's very profitable."

"Why do you keep so many livestock in Lanzhou?"

"Sell it quickly."

Sichuan Road is a grain-producing area.

Northeastern Sichuan is indeed more barren.

But there was no war, and the people's lives were relatively stable.

No matter where the cattle and sheep are transported, there is no shortage of buyers.

Not to mention only replacing grains.

The Western Army has no shortage of refined grain for human consumption. The Weihe Plain and the Hanzhong Plain are both grain-producing areas.

Can a person still be choked to death by urinating?

Just buy it from other provinces.

Lu Zhichang was stunned.

"Aren't the sheep outside Yinchuan left for you to pay off your debts?"

Chen Yun chuckled.

"Commander Lu, my governor told me not to worry about the debt."

"You sell those cattle and sheep first."

“How many grains can’t be obtained?”

"Don't forget, there are more war horses, cattle and sheep waiting to be snatched on the Xiazhou Plain!"

Shen Lin remembered that the Hetao Plain in later generations had nearly 10 million acres of arable land.

The Uighurs were not good at farming, so they all turned their land into pastures.

If they are all occupied, a large number of Han people will be moved to farm.

Isn’t it better than sticking to the Loess Plateau?

From then on, agriculture and animal husbandry were developed simultaneously.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of war horses.

Even millions of horses can be afforded.

It's just that the early stage is relatively difficult.

"Old man, we must expel the Uighur Tatars from the Hetao area."

"Such a vast plain, how could you bear to see it grow barren and grassy?"

"It's been hard work for half a year, so let's get back some grains from other places."

"From next year onwards, your life will be much easier."

"How many cavalry to raise is not just a matter of words?"

Those present included Lu Zhichang and his son, Murong Dongsheng and other generals.

Who has not seen the vast canals and fertile fields in the Central Plains?

Are there many places that can compare to the glyph-shaped Loop?

Only with strong soldiers and strong horses can we defeat the enemy so that the barbarians dare not spy on them.

Only then will the vast Hetao become a beautiful home for the Han people.

Lu Zhichang pinched his white beard and laughed.

"good!"

"Then beat it down."

"The heroes of the Qi Dynasty back then were able to fight as far as the North Sea and the West Sea."

"I am getting old and may not be able to see that day."

"Aren't there still Yonsei and Dongsheng in their generation?"

Go to the West Sea or the North Sea?

The territory has been expanded thousands of miles, and history will remember it.

Having a name before and after death is much better than glory and wealth.

All the generals held out their chests and their eyes were burning.

Shen Lin stretched out his right hand.

"The merits of eternal life start from my generation."

More than a dozen hands scrambled to add to it.

"Since my generation!"

After clearing the battlefield, tens of thousands of sets of armor were pulled from the corpses of the Uighurs.

When the armor-piercing arrow is shot, the wound caused by the iron horse spear is small, and it is not difficult to repair.

As for the ones that were broken by the sword, they can only wait for major repairs.

The next afternoon.
