Chapter 1239: Grain Depot Exposed

Qin Hao had already disclosed the grain varieties of high-yield grain, even if some forces did not get it at that time, but after such a long time, they definitely obtained the grain seeds through various means.

Grain is readily available, but it is not easy to spread, and it takes a lot of time to grow and cultivate.

Before cultivating enough to popularize the grain species, whether it is the princes of the Central Plains or the foreign races, the problem of grain and grass is still an unsolvable problem.

Of course, except for the Jin army, which has promoted high-yield grain in Hetao in advance, and the Jin army is also the only force that does not lack grain and grass, which even Qin Hao's Qin army cannot compare.

The reason why Yuanmeng invaded the Hetao this time was also to completely solve the problem of food shortage, and once the Hetao was obtained, Yuanmeng would never be short of food in the future, so Temujin would raise the strength of the whole country to fight the Qin and Jin coalition forces.

At present, the shortage of food in Yuanmeng is definitely at this time, and it is imminent, but Temujin doesn't seem to care, which will inevitably make Yuanmeng's ministers think differently.

Murong Ke's face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now in Dahan is no longer the cowardly man I used to be, and I, Yuan Meng, can no longer treat the Han people as two-legged sheep."

Now although the princes of the Han Dynasty are divided, the strength of each prince is not weak, if he is doing such a thing as filling food with human flesh, Qin Hao will definitely use this as an excuse to convene an alliance of princes, and then my Dayuan will not face the Qin-Jin coalition army, but the coalition army composed of all the princes of the Han Dynasty. ”

Murong Ke is not the only one who thinks so, but the other ministers of Yuanmeng, including Tuo Lei, think so, after all, the living environment on the grassland is extremely difficult, and in order to survive, let alone eat others, even his own relatives have to eat.

Eliminate the old and weak, and the strong survive, this is the unchanging survival principle of the grassland, and it also fully shows the word 'wolf nature' to the fullest.

"Aiqing misunderstood."

Temujin laughed and said, "Since I took charge of the Xiongnu, has there ever been a phenomenon of feeding food with human flesh? ”

The ministers, including Murong Ke, couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

In the past, whether it was the Xiongnu or Xianbei, if there was a real shortage of food during the war, they could only eat people or corpses as a last resort, and this phenomenon was also common at that time.

But since Temujin took charge of the Xiongnu, no matter how difficult the situation was, he would get food through various means, and never let his soldiers cross their stomachs, nor did he once fill food with human flesh, which is why Temujin was so popular with soldiers.

"I Temujin have never done such a thing as feeding human flesh in the past, and I will not do it in the future."

Although Temujin said this categorically, only he knew the truth, after all, he had never done this before, because he had never been forced into that situation, and after he was really forced to a dead end, Temujin would probably not be so determined.

Temujin's words also made Murong Ke and the others breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this kind of thing of filling food with human flesh is too hurtful, and it is okay to do it when the Han Dynasty was weak, and now the Han princes are extremely strong, but they must not do it like at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, how are you going to solve the problem of grain and grass?" Towley asked.

Temujin did not answer directly, but ordered from the left and right: "Pass Murong Longcheng in." ”

"No."

After a while, Murong Longcheng strode in, knelt down and saluted: "Murong Longcheng sees my emperor." ”

The Hanging Mirror Division failed to pursue Guo Jing, not only Zhao Min was captured, but most of the forces in the Central Plains were also destroyed, but Murong Longcheng took the official Yutian, that is, Murong Hua, and escaped alive.

Murong Longcheng is not only the first master of the Murong family, but also the first great master of Yuanmeng in the future, and now that Yuanmeng is employing people uprightly, Temujin is not too likely to be punished, so he just makes Murong Longcheng guilty and meritorious.

"Aiqing is exempt."

Temujin raised his hand and asked, "Have you brought anything back?" ”

"Brought it back."

As he spoke, Murong Longcheng took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to the guards, and then handed it over to Temujin.

After Temujin opened the scroll and looked at it, he immediately smiled and said: "Our army captured Zhenbei Pass, but did not capture much grain and grass, and captured the nine counties of Yinshan, and the amount of grain and grass captured was not as large as imagined.

So the question is, where did the grain and grass of the Jin army go? Have they all been transferred to Yinshan City?

I don't believe it, in such a short period of time, Yang Liulang definitely has no time to transfer. ”

The ministers of Yuanmeng also began to talk left and right, and Temujin said: "Yang Shilang, let me explain, where is the grain and grass of the Jin army?" ”

Yang Shilang couldn't help but be surprised, but he also had to stand up and answer truthfully: "As the rear of Beiguan in this town, a large amount of grain and grass is stored in Yinshan County, half of which is hoarded in Yinshan City, while the other half is scattered and hoarded in the hidden warehouses of Yinshan counties in case of accidents. ”

Murong Ke had long known that the Jin army's grain depot was divided into open and dark depots, so he was not surprised by this, but Tuo Lei didn't know this, and after hearing this, he was overjoyed and said: "Now that my Dayuan has occupied the nine counties of Yinshan, so half of the grain and grass hoarded by the Jin army in Yinshan have fallen into the hands of my Dayuan, but we don't know where the location is?" ”

"That's right."

Temujin nodded, then looked at Yang Shilang and asked, "Yang Shilang, do you know the location of these secret vaults?" ”

Yang Shilang shook his head and said, "The location of the secret vault is only known to the chief and deputy governor of Hetao, that is, my father Shuai and Wang Meng, and the last general is naturally not qualified to know." ”

"Yang Shilang, you don't know, but you don't want to tell Your Majesty, right?" Murong Ke asked with a calm face.

Yang Shilang said with a miserable face: "Since I surrendered, there has been no way out, if I really knew, how could I not say it." ”

"Who knows you'......"

Murong Ke wanted to continue to threaten, but was directly interrupted by Temujin.

"Yang Shilang didn't lie, he really didn't know, but there were other people who knew, that is, the Qiao family, one of the eight major families of the Jin merchants, who helped the Jin army raise food at the beginning."

All the ministers of Yuanmeng showed joy, but Yang Shilang was in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: These dog traitors are really damned.

"But the Jin merchants who have connections with our army in the north have already been served by Qin Wen?" Towley asked.

"It's so easy, the eight families of the Jin Merchants have a big business, and they will always leave a little backhand, and this drawing is the last name of the survivors of the Qiao family."

Hearing what Temujin said, the ministers of Yuanmeng also knew what Murong Longcheng was doing when he infiltrated the north.

After the fall of Zhenbei Pass, Hetao has been completely isolated from the north, and 100,000 Jin troops blocked the road to death, and even carrier pigeons could not fly, and once found, they would be shot immediately.

The survivors of the Qiao family could not pass this information to the Hetao, so naturally they needed Murong Longcheng to get it personally, and although the Jin army could prevent Yuanmeng's iron cavalry from entering Bingzhou, it could not stop Murong Longcheng, which was only half a step away from the Great Grandmaster.

Murong Longcheng himself can travel freely between the two places, but he can't protect a person from coming, and after the survivor of the Qiao family handed over the things, he lost all his use value and was naturally killed by Murong Longcheng.
