When Xu Xiang woke up again, he was already lying on a warm big bed, while Yang Dianfeng was serving on the side.

"Where is this?" Xu Xiang looked at the surrounding situation, it stands to reason that he should be on that grass, how could he sleep in bed?

"Young Master, how are you feeling when you wake up? Okay? Yang Dianfeng saw that he woke up, with a hint of joy on his face.

Xu Xiang nodded, feeling that his head didn't hurt so much, but he was still a little weak.

After seeing Xu Xiang, Yang Dianfeng told him what happened after he fell into a coma.

Before the eldest grandson Mingying left, just to find the edge of this meadow, her martial arts are strong, and her sense of direction is not bad, and finally walked out of the meadow and found the house where he lives now.

This house has not been inhabited for a long time, and judging from the traces left in the house, it must be the kind of person who retreated to the mountains and forests, and built it himself on the edge of this meadow.

After making sure that there was no danger or others around, the eldest grandson Mingying began to come back to them.

Just happened to bump into Xu Xiang's serious illness and coma, Jing Shu put a towel on Xu Xiang's forehead while boiling hot water.

Seeing Xu Xiang unconscious, the eldest grandson Mingying hurriedly told a few people what he had seen, so she and Yang Dianfeng took Xu Xiang out of the grassland, and the others waited for the team to search for food and water sources, and then went there.

Fortunately, there is a small medicine garden overgrown with weeds in this room, and everything is available for daily life.

Perhaps he got a good rest, Xu Xiang's condition has improved slightly, but he has not taken the treatment medicine yet, and the improvement is very slow.

"Are they all out?" Xu Xiang still cares about those fighters, he said that he wants to bring everyone out, if only he comes out, and the others haven't come out yet, it will make him feel a little guilty.

"Young master, don't worry, everyone has come out. For the time being, there is only one room for people. The fighters are now looking for a place to spend the night nearby. Yang Dianfeng replied, then remembered something, and patted his head, "Look at my brain, I boiled some medicine for the young master, and I'll serve it to you." ”

Xu Xiang nodded, he desperately wanted to recover, after all, he was the leader of these warriors, but he fell ill and was very ashamed.

It was getting late, and the candles were already lit in the house.

After Xu Xiang drank the medicine, he thought about the current predicament, so he called the eldest grandson Mingying over and told her to do some things.

After the eldest grandson Mingying left, he rested for a while. Before dinner, he asked Yang Dianfeng to bring Xu Yi, You Qingling, Jing Shu and others over to discuss matters.

Yang Dianfeng walked in with a porcelain jar, and although it was covered with a porcelain jar, it still exuded a fragrance from the jar.

"What is this?" Xu Yi helped him up from the bed, he half leaned on the bed, and asked.

"Young master, this is the soup boiled by Shiratori, which is good for the recovery of your body." Yang Dianfeng replied.

Xu Xiang turned his gaze to Jing Shu and asked, "Jing Shu, has the problem of food been solved?" What do you eat for dinner? ”

"Instructor Xu, our people have found a lot of birds' nests, got a lot of birds' eggs, and caught a lot of white birds. Now everyone is boiling bird eggs and roasting bird meat to eat. Jing Shu replied.

Hearing that there was food, Xu Xiang was relieved. Yang Dianfeng took out the soup with a bowl and handed it to him.

The soup was very fragrant, with a little yellow grease on the surface, and he scooped it with a spoon and tasted it.

"Fading." He frowned.

"Young master, you can only eat some light food at the moment, so I don't put much salt." Yang Dianfeng replied.

"Oh." Xu Xiang continued to drink a few pills, feeling a little tasteless.

Seasoning was scarce in this era, and salt was one of the most important flavoring agents, and at present, with his taste, he really can't eat it without putting more salt.

After he had drunk the bowl, he didn't drink it again.

At this time, the eldest grandson Mingying walked in with a sniper rifle on her back, and she still had some leaves on her body, she should have just walked through the forest.

She walked up to Xu Xiang, "Young Master, what you ordered has been done." ”

"How?" Xu Xiang asked with great importance.

The eldest grandson Mingying asked Xu Cheng to take out the map, pointed to the location on the map, and said, "Young master, we should be in this position at present, and the southeast corner is Guyuan City, the distance is about more than ninety miles, and you can reach Baiyuan City one hundred and fifty miles south along Guyuan City." ”

The others also leaned over to look at the map.

Xu Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Mingying, have you gone to Guyuan City, and what is the situation in Guyuan City now?" ”

"I've been to Guyuan City, and the people here are normal, and there is no sense of war at all. Maybe it's because the news is blocked, or maybe they feel that the war between Zhongning City and Heyuan Mansion can't affect them. ”

"How many soldiers are there in Guyuan City? If we are taken by surprise, can we take it down quickly? Jing Shu asked.

Xu Xiang raised his hand and shook his head, "No, even if Guyuan City is at our fingertips, we can't attack for the time being." ”

"Why?" The eldest grandson Mingying asked suspiciously, "I inquired, there are about 3,000 soldiers defending the city in Guyuan City, and their vigilance is very low, and it doesn't seem to have any combat effectiveness. If we can take Guyuan City, we can get the granary of Guyuan City, and as long as we rest for a day, we can launch an attack on Baiyuan City. ”

"Pacifying the Ming clan is not as simple as attacking the city, if it is just a simple capture of the city, do you think the Chengfeng army will be delayed for so long in Heyuan Mansion?" Xu Xiang said very seriously.

Long before sending troops, he had reached a consensus with Xuanyuan Ding and the eldest grandson Mingyue for the cities of Zhongshan Kingdom other than Ningdu.

Except for Ningdu, the rest of the cities are best outwitted in order to gain more troops.

The weapons of the Chengfeng Army are all heavy cavalry and rifles, and in terms of their combat power, it is difficult to say how many people can survive a battle.

What was the use of them asking for these ruined cities?

The eldest grandson Mingying is from the Chengfeng Army, and his combat effectiveness could not be clearer, if the Chengfeng Army takes the offensive at all costs, Heyuan Mansion will not be able to support it for even a day.

"Then young master, what's the use of letting me inquire about this?" Since you don't plan to capture Guyuan Castle now, what's the use of asking for its information?

"What about the rest?" Xu Xiang didn't answer her doubts and continued to ask.

"Due to the abundant fish resources in the Tianma River and Zihu Lake, most of the people in Guyuan City and Baiyuan City are engaged in the business of fishing farms, which can be said to be very wealthy. Even though last year was a year of natural disasters, the surplus of the two cities kept them from worrying about food. The most representative here is Jiguan County, which is jointly governed by Guyuan City and Baiyuan City, where seven or eight out of ten people have endless food at home. Not to mention the granary of Guyuan City, which is always full. I think that by capturing Guyuan City, we can still get a lot of food, which can solve our big problem. ”

She paused, and then continued, "Your Majesty and the young patriarch set off from Jianding County, and they didn't carry much food, and now that so much time has passed, they haven't been able to take Heyuan Mansion, and the food has not been replenished. It is estimated that there may be no food in the near future. ”

Now there are only two ways in front of Changsun Mingyue, the first is to let the Chengfeng army storm Heyuan Mansion, although it will cause countless casualties on both sides, it can also solve the current crisis. The second is to go step by step, so that the soldiers of Jianding County can be subdued, which will have a great effect on conquering other Ming cities in the future. It's just that in this way, the food consumed has to think of other ways.

Xu Xiang frowned, motioned for her to take the map to herself, and then pointed to a mountain forest area on the right side of Guyuan City, and asked, "What about the situation here, have you found out clearly?" ”

"I've been there, and this mountain forest is relatively steep, and there are dozens of wolves, and in addition to wolves, there are also many bears and tigers. It is a bit risky to get around Guwon Castle through this mountain forest. ”

Xu Xiang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What if you take the water route?" ”

"You can't go by water! In addition to Bai Yuancheng's establishment of a guard post next to Zihu, there were also 5,000 people from the Fisheries Division stationed between the Tianma River and Zihu. Jing Shu shook his head and said.

"Huh? Fisheries Division? What is this? Xu Xiang frowned, he had never heard of this yamen.

Jing Shu used to be a member of the Ming clan and knew a part of the power that the Ming clan possessed.

"My subordinates didn't pay attention to it before, but when Miss Mingying talked about the business of the fishing farm, I thought of the Fisheries Division." Jing Shu explained, "This fishery department is the person who is in charge of these fishers and makes them pay fishing taxes. ”

"At first, there were still many people who opposed the Department of Fisheries, did not want to pay onerous fishing taxes, and even resisted. But when the people of the Fisheries Department thundered and beheaded those who resisted, no one dared to confront the Fisheries Department anymore. Later, Ming simply sent an army of 5,000 men to assist the Fisheries Department in collecting fishing taxes. ”

"So, you mean, if we rush down the Tianma River to Zihu, we will definitely be blocked by the Fisheries Division?"

"For so many years, the Department of Fisheries has been living in peace with the people. However, the Department of Fisheries fears that there will be opposition again.

Therefore, any team of more than 100 people will be targeted by it. ”

"The waterway is impassable." Xu Xiang frowned, "Let's go to the mountains and forests." ”

"The mountains and forests are too dangerous, I don't agree!" The eldest grandson, Mingying, raised an opposing opinion.

The others didn't seem to want to go to the mountains and forests, and what they had encountered a few days ago made them feel that it was too dangerous to go to the jungle.

Although everyone is currently obeying Xu Xiang's orders, their psychology is not very fond of this training method, and they are more inclined to attack the city.

For the soldiers of this era, there is no war without military merit, and there is no corresponding reward without military merit.

In the swamp before, many soldiers were stuck in the swamp, and there was no way to save them. This made them puzzled by the unusual way Xu Xiang chose, and at the same time, they were also very opposed to it in their hearts.

However, they didn't say it after all, after all, Xu Xiang was the person who belonged to their highest authority. He decided to do something that no one had the courage to object.

The atmosphere became awkward, and everyone quietly waited for Xu Xiang's final decision.

Qiao Tong is a native of Jiguan County, and his family is a large fishing ground that runs the Tianma Hewei Fishing Ground, which can harvest millions of fish every year, and is also one of the richest people in Jiguan County.

His father is Qiao Wenze, who has gone from a small fisherman to a wealthy man in Jiguan County, entirely because Qiao Wenze's vision is very vicious.

As early as when fishing was very developed, he took a few brothers to fish, although there were many fishers, but their brothers were highly skilled, and the fishing tools were much better than others, and the fish caught were also very fat, and were favored by most people.

Although the fishery in Jiguan County is very developed, there are very few fish that Jiguan County really needs to consume.

The fish they caught were sold in Jiguan County, and naturally it was impossible to have much profit, so they tried to bring the fish to Guyuan City and Baiyuan City to sell.

It's just that when the fish caught in the morning arrived at Guyuan City and Baiyuan City, they basically all rolled their eyes and died.

Dead fish cannot be sold for a good price, so it can only be sold as salted fish. In this way, after deducting the cost, the profit they get is not much different from selling it in Jiguan County.

Qiao Wenze pondered and meditated, how could he let his fish survive after arriving in Guyuan City and Baiyuan City.

Later, he really figured out a way, and after their fish reached their destination, it was still alive.

So, in this way, his business is getting bigger and bigger.

Later, after the Fisheries Department was stationed in Tianma River, he established a good relationship with the officials of the Fisheries Department, so that the family's business became bigger and bigger.

Qiao Wenze is a person with a strong sense of vanity, and he wants to become a nobleman, and after many exchanges with the officials of the Fisheries Department, he used his secret method of live fish to get the opportunity to become a nobleman.

So, he couldn't wait to change the names of his three sons.

Qiao Tong is the third, and this time he led the family brigade to transport 100,000 catties of fish to Guyuan City.

This was the first time he had carried out the task given to him by his father, and he also knew that his father had high hopes for him and taught him the method of living fish.

Their family's method of living fish is inspired by a story Qiao Wenze saw in a travelogue.

To the east of the Great Xia Empire, there is an island country, and the fishermen of this island country go out to sea to fish almost every day, but because of the small cabins. It may take a long time to return home, and the fish are almost all dead.

There is no way to do it, when everyone's fish comes back, they are basically dead fish.

But there was a fisherman who, every time he came back from fishing, the fish in his cabin were alive.

This caused others to wonder, everyone has the same size of cabins and fishing tools, why is his fish still alive when he comes back?

Naturally, the fisherman refused to tell his secret to his son.

It turned out that he loaded a few catfish on the boat, and the catfish were naturally aggressive, and the other fish tried their best to resist in order to resist the catfish's attack, so the survival instinct of the fish was mobilized, so all survived.

Qiao Wenze tried it with reference to the method in this travelogue, but he didn't expect it to be true.

However, although most of the fish survived, a small number of fish were bitten to death by catfish.

Therefore, Qiao Wenze hoped that Qiao Tong could rush to Guyuan City as soon as possible, so that the fish could survive more, which was also Qiao Wenze's test for him.

Just as the convoy was about to arrive at Guyuan City, someone suddenly rushed out from the side of the road and stopped them.

The leader was a very good-looking woman, and she carried a weapon wrapped in cloth on her back, and from the shape alone, it was impossible to tell what kind of weapon it was.

"Who is the girl? Why are you stopping me in my way? Qiao Tong frowned and asked.
