584: Where did the money go (1)
"Little harvest, it's time to go back and celebrate. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The celebration is nothing more than a party to eat barbecue or shabu-shabu.
Zhikezhai has opened branches in other three counties, but the people there have just settled down, and the business is a little light, but Zhikezhai here in Xiangyang County is full. Now that the weather is getting colder day by day, Zhikezhai has launched a hot pot barbecue series, which is very popular.
The people only care about food and clothing, four dishes and one soup, but Jiang Pengji has to consider more far-reaching things.
For example, how can we take Marushu next year?
Maruzhou is composed of Fengyi County, Chengde County and Shangyang County, and the whole territory of the four counties of Fengyi County is in the hands of Jiang Pengji.
Chengde County is in the hands of the Red Lotus Sect, but after a great drought in the summer, the situation there is also precarious, no matter how strong the Red Lotus Sect's brainwashing ability is, it still can't stop the status quo of more and more displaced people, and the population loss of Fengyi County is extremely serious.
Finally, there is Shangyang County.
Speaking of Shangyang County, I have to mention Feng Jin, because he is a person from Shangyang County.
The former Shangjing was divided from the territory of Shangyang County, when Dongqing had not yet decided to go to Beijing, the place in Shangjing also belonged to Shangyang County, and later Dongqing moved the capital to Chenzhou, and Shangjing naturally belonged to Shangyang County again.
After last summer's earthquake, the north suffered heavy losses, and was successively ravaged by the Tsing Yi Army and the Red Lotus Sect.
"Chengde County is controlled by the Red Lotus Sect, and Shangyang County has not fallen into the hands of any party. β
After all, the Feng clan is one of the four high gates of Dongqing, and naturally it will also raise the tribe, the number is not large, but there are also three or four thousand, the combat power is considerable, plus the local reputation, when the Tsing Yi Army and the Red Lotus Sect exploited and looted everywhere, the Feng clan had already found a way to mobilize the people to defend the city.
They have money, food and heritage, the Tsing Yi Army and the Red Lotus Sect are not in agreement, and they drag each other back, and the final result is that none of them can devour Shangyang County. Today, although the livelihood of the people in Shangyang County is difficult, the situation is much better than that of the displaced people outside.
Yang Si glanced at Feng Jin and said, "The lord wants to plan to move troops against Shangyang County?"
After he said this, Feng Jin's eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and he seemed to disagree.
Jiang Pengji said, "Salute first and then soldier, you have to take it down." β
Salute before soldiers?
This is really unusual, doesn't Your Majesty like to wave troops to fight if you don't agree with each other?
Wei Ci was also in a meeting in the government affairs hall, and glanced at Feng Jin, Jiang Pengji was willing to salute first and then soldier, most likely considering Feng Jin's feelings.
Feng Zhen looked at Feng Jin with a smile, and asked Jiang Pengji, "I don't know if the lord has a suitable candidate?"
Without waiting for Jiang Pengji to speak, Feng Jin stepped out and said, "Jin is willing to ask for his life to go to Shangyang County." β
Jiang Pengji nodded in agreement, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Feng Jin in this matter.
If you can take Shangyang County without fighting, this is the best, if you can't make sense, then you can only fight.
Her purpose is the place of Shangyang County, and it is inevitable.
Taking the entire territory of Maruzhou, bordering Hu County, which is connected to Chongzhou, the forces of the Liu clan can watch and help each other.
If Shangyang County can't take it down, it is equivalent to separating a tail, and then being outflanked by others, then it will be passive.
Feng Jin also knows the importance of the matter, so he must find a way to convince his father at home.
Although the county guard of Shangyang County is not a member of the Feng clan, it is almost the same, and the attitude of the Feng clan can determine the direction of Shangyang County.
The northern forces of Dongqing began to reshuffle again, and the king and emperor of Changshou in the south were also caught in a white-hot competition.
King Changshou thought that he could use the power of the three tribes in northern Xinjiang to completely capture Chenzhou, but he didn't want to suddenly release his pigeon in the northern Xinjiang, which he had promised to be good! The ghost knows how long the king of Changshou had been doing psychological comfort, so he promised the three tribes in northern Xinjiang to ask for women, cities, rice, grain, gold and silver...... All kinds of overlord terms, he endured anger and disgust and agreed, but the three tribes in northern Xinjiang released his pigeon!
I have a sentence "***", I don't know whether to say it or not!
King Changshou received the news that he had broken the contract in Northern Xinjiang and almost vomited blood.
There was another thing that worried him even more, they came out from Zhangzhou to attack Chenzhou, and there were grain teams along the way to supply military rations.
King Changshou had already had a heart of betrayal and made very sufficient strategic material preparations, but no matter how sufficient, he did not expect that Chenzhou would be able to hold out for a year and a half under the attack of his army! Chenzhou could get grain on the spot, but their army needed to transport grain from Zhangzhou.
Unfortunately, this summer was dry, and most of the crops died.
The rice grain harvested in the autumn is less than 30% of the previous years, and the people are not enough for their own use, so where can they pay the heavy grain tax to supply the army?
As a result, the army of King Changshou was short of food again, and the grain team supplied less and less food.
In the past, soldiers held two or even three times a day, but now they open once a day, and boiling rice has become boiled rice porridge.
If he can't capture Chenzhou again, King Changshou will have to take his soldiers and horses and roll back to the fiefdom of Zhangzhou in disgrace.
When the emperor came to his senses and summoned Dongqing soldiers and horses to besiege Zhangzhou, it would be the death of King Changshou.
A group of strategists and generals had sad faces, and King Changshou's temper was even more irritable day by day, and everyone was terrified and rumored.
"Noβit's not the way to go on like thisβ"
King Changshou hadn't slept for two days, and he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
His hundreds of thousands of lions, combat effectiveness is absolutely no problem, if it weren't for Yang Si pit him before leaving, he is now sitting on the dragon chair and is known as "Long live", where would he worry about military rations in the military tent?
Thinking of Yang Si, who was full of lies, King Changshou hated it so much.
At first, he felt guilty about Yang Si, but later found out that this person had caused so much trouble to himself that he almost vomited blood.
Chenzhou also found that King Changshou was in a state of embarrassment due to lack of food, which was both joyful and sad.
Glad?
As long as he holds out for a while, King Changshou will have to withdraw due to lack of food.
Distress?
Not only is there a shortage of food on the side of King Changshou, but there is also a shortage of rice and grain in Chenzhou, and both sides are hungry.
Now, it's just a matter of who can't hold on first.
If the stalemate continues, the two sides will still have to grind, but at this time, someone intervened.
When he heard the news, King Changshou was sitting in the tent and was angry, when a messenger came in outside, and he was almost angry.
The messenger was driven out, and the flattering middle-aged strategist was about to see King Changshou, and when he saw an anxious messenger outside the tent, he couldn't help but ask, and then ...... His eyes brightened the more he listened, and he was almost too excited to help himself.
"My lord-my lord's great joy!"
"Where does the joy come from?" asked King Changshou with an impatient expression.
The middle-aged strategist said in ecstasy, "The Meng clan of Cangzhou sent a secret envoy to discuss the world's major affairs with the lord. β
