Chapter 111: Sweeping

The dock fort was breached, and the horses in this stable naturally became Liu Zheng's trophies.

Although a dozen war horses are not a lot for Liu Zheng, a dozen war horses are not a small amount.

As long as he can attack a few more of these docks, he will be able to snatch more horses in these docks, and the number of cavalry under his command will increase by one level again.

It is bound to rise in strength.

In addition to the military resources such as war horses in the dock fort, Liu Zheng was very surprised, and the large amount of grain stored in the dock fort also surprised Liu Zheng.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can also think clearly that the existence of these dock forts was also established outside the city by those adults who were officials in Luoyang to take care of the fertile land.

A large part of the grain and grass grown in the nearby fertile fields is stored in these dock forts.

Don't look at Liu Zheng's big fish and meat on weekdays, but in fact, Liu Zheng doesn't have much food and grass under his command.

He was not the only one under his command, but an army of tens of thousands, and when there were only one or two thousand men earlier, he was able to barely feed his soldiers and horses with some grain he had robbed.

But later, as more and more men and horses grew, the amount of grain and grass consumed in his army increased.

Some of the grain and grass accumulated under Liu Zheng's command gradually became insufficient, and during this time, it was because he fought in the south and the north everywhere, and after killing Zhu Jun and Qin Jie, he snatched some grain and grass from their army and barely supported it.

Sometimes the Yellow Turban soldiers under Liu Zheng can't even eat a full meal.

This is not a joke, but a common phenomenon, after all, the reason why Zhang Jiao revolted, the speed of the uprising was so fast, and it spread rapidly in a short period of time, and the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

The most fundamental reason is that there was a relatively rare drought this year, and many farmers had no harvest and were almost unable to eat.

Only then did he take a risk and follow Zhang Jiao's rebel army to oppose the imperial court.

In fact, their purpose is very simple, it is to eat a full meal.

At present, Liu Zheng grabbed enough food from the dock fort established by He Fu, the steward of the Great General's Mansion, for three months to eat the 10,000 horses and horses he brought from the Tiger Prison Pass.

It is conceivable that these adults of the dynasty are rich in storage.

"Xu Huang, send a few brothers to stay here, take care of these grains and grasses, and then order someone to contact Zhou Cang, so that their men and horses can come over to receive these grains and grasses, with these grains and grasses, even if we come to Luoyang this time, we don't have an inch of effort, and getting these grains and grasses is enough for us."

After Liu Zheng finished his order, Xu Huang quickly gave an order according to Liu Zheng's instructions, and Liu Zheng's people did not continue to stay here, after all, after tasting the sweetness of these dock forts.

The greedy Liu Zheng showed his fangs.

Since the resources in these dock forts are so abundant, making it profitable for him to come and come, why not grab a few more?

Anyway, in order to make things bigger, he wants to grab a few more dock forts.

In this way, outside Luoyang City, within a range of dozens of miles, a cavalry squad of nearly 1,000 people quickly galloped between the major docks and camps in Luoyang City.

This cavalry not only robbed the grain and grass, but also killed the private soldiers in the dock fort, leaving only some old people and children.

Unless he encounters a dock fort that surrenders directly, Liu Zheng will not kill the killers and kill them.

A day later, Liu Zheng's men and horses broke seven or eight dock forts and looted a large amount of grain and grass, enough for his 50,000 horses to eat for several years.

At this time, Liu Zheng sighed and understood the suffering of the people.

I know what Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are starving bones on the road.

The people of the people can't eat because of the drought, but these dignitaries and nobles of the dynasty have so much grain and grass hidden in the dock fort they have built.

But no one would do that.

After all, no one is a rotten good person, and no one's food is picked up out of thin air, this is private property. Even if one or two people open a warehouse to release grain, it is impossible for one or two people alone to feed so many victims.

And it is impossible for all the powerful and inferior gentry in the world to take out their own grain and grass and give them to those hungry people for no reason.

It is impossible for them to do this, Liu Zheng will come to help them do this, and only in this way can Liu Zheng be able to leave a greater reputation among these ordinary people.

The private soldiers in the dock fort, Liu Zheng directly killed, those poor peasants who were hired by high-ranking officials and nobles, Liu Zheng directly let go, and a large amount of grain snatched from the dock fort was divided into a big bag for each person.

It was enough food for them to eat for several months, and after dismissing them, Liu Zheng continued to attack the next dock fort.

And those poor peasants who were liberated by Liu Zheng were greatly grateful for Liu Zheng's actions, and some people still wanted to join Liu Zheng on the spot, but Liu Zheng didn't have the heart at all to recruit these people at this time.

He is coming to attack Luoyang this time, and bringing these peasants will not only not play a big role, but will be tired because of them.

Therefore, Liu Zheng did not intend to be included in his command, and after the dismissal, the purpose was also to let them spread the news that Liu Zheng was attacking Wubao everywhere in Luoyang at this time.

In order to increase the operation against Wubao, the squad of 1,000 people always felt a little slow to act, and Liu Zheng even divided his 1,000 people into two teams of soldiers and horses.

Let Xu Huang personally lead five hundred people to sweep the other dock forts, while Liu Zheng himself took another five hundred people to sweep from another direction.

It's better to do both ways than to have a team go alone and sweep the Dock Fort.

In this way, the speed of only being able to break six or seven dock forts a day can be broken by two groups of people and horses in a day.

In addition, Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong's men and horses, in one day, also came to the vicinity of Luoyang City from the Tiger Prison Pass, and began to receive orders from Liu Zheng.

Some of the men and horses went to take over the grain stolen from the major dock forts, and the other part of the men and horses, following Liu Zheng and Xu Huang, attacked the major dock forts.

With the addition of a thousand shooters trained by Huang Zhong, their speed of attacking the Dock Fort was naturally much faster.

In just a few days, the major dock forts outside Luoyang City left the figure of Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army.

A large number of dock forts were breached, and tens of thousands of refugees began to gather towards Luoyang City.

The closed gate of Luoyang City kept these refugees out of the city, but the news could not be blocked out, and more and more people began to know that the Yellow Turban Army had reached Luoyang.
