Chapter 690: Undeclared War
Are you kidding? Not to mention that there is not so much surplus grain in Zhaojiabao now, even if there is, it is impossible to lend 100,000 loads of grain to the evil neighbor of the Flying Tiger Gang! Double the amount of food when there is a good harvest next year! It's almost the same to deceive children, who doesn't know that the land where the Flying Tigers produce grain is very scarce, and the annual harvest is pitiful, what kind of food will be returned to Zhaojiabao! This is simply a gun, if Zhao Hu agrees, he will really become a big fool.
Seeing that Zhao Hu shook his head and rejected his request, Han Lei's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected it, and continued to stare at Zhao Hu tightly with a pair of flat eyes: "Since Zhaojiabao does not have 100,000 quintals of grain, reduce it by half and lend us 50,000 quintals of grain to the Flying Tiger Gang!" ”
"Nope! Our own grain storage in Zhaojiabao is not much, at most we will give you 200 quintals of grain from the Flying Tiger Gang, if your Flying Tiger Gang is really short of food, you can go to the mainland to buy it. Come to think of it, at this time, there should be no significant increase in food prices on the mainland. ”
Zhao Hu shook his head and refused, if it was possible, he didn't want to give a load of food to the Flying Tiger Gang, and he just reluctantly gave the Flying Tiger Gang two hundred loads of food, which made him feel very unhappy, and secretly planned how to get it back from the Flying Tiger Gang with interest, let alone give it 50,000 loads of food.
"Since this is the case, then, Han Lei will not bother the castle lord, as for the two hundred loads of grain, the castle lord will keep it himself! Although our Flying Tigers are short of food, they still need the alms of the castle lord. Seeing the determined look on Zhao Hu's face, Han Lei knew that he would not be able to borrow food from Zhaojiabao no matter what, so he said goodbye.
"Does Zhaojiabao not lend us grain?" A tall, sturdy middle-aged man with a coercive look looked at Han Lei with a calm face and asked softly.
"Back to the gang leader, Zhao Jiabao is unwilling to lend us food, only willing to give us two hundred loads of grain from the Flying Tiger Gang, but I refused." Han Lei, who was thin and weak, replied with a calm face.
"Two hundred loads of grain? Is it called Hanako? Since they Zhaojiabao don't lend us food to the Flying Tiger Gang, we will go and get it ourselves. Glancing at Han Lei, who had a calm face, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man with a coercive face.
"Tianmu Town!" Feeling the evil aura on the middle-aged man's body, Han Lei knew that his helper wanted to use force, so he suggested with a calm face.
"Well, Tianmu Town is indeed a good target. Not only is there a large amount of grain stored there, and there are not many defenders, but it is far away from the core area of Zhaojiabao, in the territory of the former Xu family, which is a very easy place to capture, and it can also make Zhaojiabao's troops unable to help quickly. Hearing Han Lei's words, the middle-aged man praised loudly without thinking.
"Gang Master, our target is only Tianmu Town, I hope you don't spread the war to other parts of Zhaojiabao." Han Lei looked at the middle-aged man with excitement on his face, as if he knew what he was thinking, and immediately reminded loudly.
"I said, Xiao Leizi! I am good friends with your father, and your father also died to save me, I owe you a life to the Han family, and I have no heirs, the territory of the Flying Tigers will be inherited by you in the future, and I will expand the territory of the Flying Tigers Gang, shouldn't it be a good thing for you? Why are you here to stop me from expanding outward! Hearing Han Lei's words, the big man with a majestic face couldn't help but wonder.
"Uncle Lu Fei, it's not that I don't want to expand the territory of the Flying Tiger Gang, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. You think, this year's torrential rains have destroyed all the seedlings, and the whole chaotic land will fall into the predicament of food shortage. And most of the grain-producing land in our chaotic land is under the control of Zhaojiabao, which means that except for Zhaojiabao, other forces will fall into the predicament of lack of food.
In the case of lack of food, the eyes of all the forces in the entire chaotic land will be devoted to Zhaojiabao, and if they want to get enough from Zhaojiabao to survive until next year's grain harvest, once Zhaojiabao cannot provide enough food to many forces, those forces will definitely be dissatisfied, thinking that Zhaojiabao is deliberately not giving them food, and enter to attack Zhaojiabao.
At the same time, you should also know that Zhaojiabao really doesn't have much food now! The previous lord of the castle sold most of Zhaojiabao's grain reserves to Tianxian Island at a high price, and the surplus grain left behind was at most enough for Zhaojiabao to eat himself, and he couldn't get enough grain to meet the needs of other forces in the chaotic land.
If we capture Zhaojiabao at this time, then the other forces in the Land of Chaos will ask us for food when they are in a predicament of lack of food, and once we can't provide it at all, what should we do at that time? Hearing the big man call his nickname, a trace of waves appeared on Han Lei's calm face, and he explained softly.
"Then we can't just let Zhao Jiabao go so easily! You know, now is the best time to attack Zhaojiabao, once Zhaojiabao recovers, it will not be a simple matter for us to deal with it! Although he knew that what Han Lei said was reasonable, but when he thought that he had put a great opportunity not to take advantage of it, Lu Fei felt uncomfortable for a while, and complained in a low voice.
"If you are sure to deal with the God of War Temple, Sorcerer Tower, Ancestral Wolf Land, Wanjian Peak, Ross Town and other forces at the same time, we can send troops to attack Zhaojiabao now, with the 100,000 elite army of our Flying Tiger Gang, it is simply easy to deal with Zhaojiabao, which only has more than 10,000 elite troops and 40,000 or 50,000 surrendered troops." Hearing Lu Fei's complaint, Han Lei couldn't help but say softly.
"Xiao Leizi, I still have some confidence in dealing with the God of War Temple and the Warlock Tower, but if you want me to deal with the Land of the Ancestral Wolf, Wan Jianfeng, and Ross Town, that's just a joke, these are three forces that can occupy the north, west, and south of the chaotic land respectively, no matter which one they are, they can easily defeat our Flying Tiger Gang, how can I deal with these forces at the same time!" Hearing Han Lei say some forces that he couldn't afford to offend to warn him, Lu Fei's face was a little unbearable, and he said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Uncle Lu Fei, I know that it is your long-cherished wish to unify the eastern part of the Land of Chaos and become a great force like the Land of Ancestral Wolves, Wan Jianfeng, and Ross Town. Please rest assured, I promise to help you realize your long-cherished wish, as long as we endure it, and wait until Zhaojiabao is unable to provide enough food for many forces, and is eliminated by many forces, it is the time for our Flying Tiger Gang to annex Zhaojiabao, and then plot the War God Temple, the Warlock Tower, and unify the eastern part of the chaotic land. Hearing the look of dissatisfaction in Lu Feng's tone, Han Lei assured loudly.
"Good! Xiao Leizi, this time I will listen to you, I will first capture a Tianmu Town, and do not move the rest of Zhaojiabao. After a fierce battle of ideas, Lu Fei assured loudly.
It was night, and countless bright stars were scattered in every corner of the sky, and the starlight in the sky was like a waterfall, sprinkled on the continent. Countless figures under the starlight, silently, quickly galloped towards the direction where Tianmu Town was located.
Immediately afterwards, a terrible scream sounded in Tianmu Town, and the three thousand soldiers guarding Tianmu Town woke up from their sleep one after another, quickly got up, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the house, killing the crowd that attacked Tianmu Town.
"Damn! didn't expect the other party to arrange a secret whistle, Xiao Wang ran to the rear and told the rear personnel to speed up! Kill me for the others! The gates must not be lost until the army arrives! ”
"Brothers, rush me! Be sure to drive the abominable sneak attackers out of Tianmu Town! A captain of the garrison of Tianmu Town shouted loudly to the soldiers gathered around him, and at the same time raised the long sword in his hand, and galloped towards the direction of the city gate, striving to regain control of the city gate before the arrival of the other party's army.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A fierce battle sounded at the gate of Tianmu Town, and a terrible scream came from the mouths of the sneak attackers and the soldiers defending the city of Tianmu Town.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The ground shook violently, and a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, we just need to support for a while." Feeling the shaking of the ground and hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the sneak attackers all rejoiced and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, run! The other party's cavalry army is coming, we can't hold Tianmu Town, so let's run away and escape! Hearing the cheers of the sneak attackers, and feeling the violent vibration from the ground, the soldiers who did not have much loyalty to Zhaojiabao immediately abandoned the enemy, turned around and fled into the distance, and those soldiers who were loyal to Zhaojiabao could only reluctantly give up resistance and flee into the distance under the coercion of many deserters.
In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Hu had just woken up from his sleep when he heard a quick knock on the door, frowned involuntarily, and said loudly: "Who?" What's the matter? ”
"Brother Tiger, I'm Zhao An, the Flying Tiger Gang army sneaked up on Tianmu Town, and now Tianmu Town is under the control of the Flying Tiger Gang." Zhao An, who was standing outside the door, said loudly with an anxious expression.
"What? The Flying Tigers captured Tianmu Town? Zhao Hu, who was sleepy-eyed, instantly woke up completely, and immediately asked loudly.
