Chapter 304
Before the movement of armies, intelligence comes first. Cheng Dalei adhered to this principle, realizing that wars are really about economics and information. What happens on the battlefield - the actual brandishing of knives and shooting of guns - is secondary.
He sent a group to set up a tavern in Haojia City to listen for any whispers of information, and ordered them to report every three days. With the enhancement of the "rumors of the Jianghu" skill, the problem of gathering intelligence was resolved.
Cheng Dalei personally handled economic matters. Frog Fort now had at least a thousand residents, whose daily food requirements were not small. No matter how competent Cheng Dalei was, he had to ensure these people were fed first, otherwise, why would they risk their lives for him?
