Chapter 136: Torrential Rain (6)
Inside and outside the city of clouds, it was also raining heavily.
Originally, the entire Mayi County was a place where rainfall was scarce, bitter cold and dry. It's rare to see such a continuous heavy rain on a late autumn day.
Looking down on the city wall, outside the city in the clouds, the reckless wasteland is all into the country. Tens of thousands of streams of water converged into small streams, washing out rain cracks in the wasteland outside Yunzhong City.
This autumn's rainstorms are like this, and next year's weather will be even more unbearable. The already meager harvest of the fields cannot be counted on.
Standing on the city wall, dressed in a robe, like an old farmer, Liu Wuzhou, looked at the half-deserted fields in the rain, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Heaven is not favored, the end of the dynasty. Famine, war, slaughter, and plunder, will follow. The once powerful Great Sui is about to fall apart, and all those from the family will set off a sea of blood to decide the winner. Even if the land is plunged into deeper darkness in the midst of war.
It's just that why only people from a family are eligible? I, a local tyrant from the countryside, who has gone through thousands of deaths, is still looked down upon and excluded, why can't I participate in this competition, why can't I stand on the top of these arrogant families?
Let this storm come sooner, and it will come more violently, and destroy everything that is old, even if it is not yourself who is standing last!
There was a sound of gentle footsteps beside him, and Liu Wuzhou turned his head sideways and saw Yuan Junzhang coming to him. Yuan Junzhang was also dressed in a robe, his long beard was not wearing a beard, and the rain kept sliding down his beard.
Yuan Junzhang also looked out of the city, and said seemingly indifferently: "There is not enough grain storage in the city." ”
Liu Wuzhou smiled: "This big gathering in the clouds was stirred up by Xu Le, this kid, whether it was a merchant from the south or a tribe from the north, they were all frightened by the destruction of more than a thousand Yue tribes. Once the ban is lifted, the rabbits are their grandsons, and they run so fast............ The income we were counting on is gone, and we don't have much to do with our warehouses............ How many more? ”
Yuan Junzhang said softly: "In terms of military food alone, it is less than four months. ”
This is already a very dangerous number, and it is only enough for four months to let the four thousand Yingyang soldiers of Hengan Yingyang Mansion eat and chew. Not to mention that there are so many military dependents attached to Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, as well as tens of thousands of people inside and outside Yunzhong City. Even if the people's families have a little food stockpiling, they will definitely not be able to support the beginning of spring next year.
The soldiers gather with food, and without food, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, they have to disperse.
But when he heard the news, Liu Wuzhou shrugged his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised: "Wouldn't that force me to raise troops immediately?" While you still have a little family background, hurry up and split the winner with Wang Taishou? ”
Yuan Junzhang shook his head: "Wang Taishou must be on strict guard against us, and when he sends troops in winter, a strong wall will trap us." At that time, there will only be a way to defeat the troops in Shanyang City. ”
Liu Wuzhou smiled: "You can deal with our Heng'an Mansion so cheaply!" That Wang Taishou designated that he would not bring autumn grain over this year. ”
Yuan Junzhang still shook his head: "Wang Taishou will still want to transport grain over, because Tang Guogong wants to raise troops west to Chang'an." Wang Taishou was absolutely unwilling to see Tang Guogong snatch this first move. If we are forced to be tightened, we will raise troops this year, restrain Wang Taishou's hands and feet, and Tang Guogong will send another army and horse to rob while the fire is burning, then Wang Taishou will be trapped in Mayi and will not be able to go anywhere within a year. In order to drag Tang Guogong, he also has to give us grain and grass. ”
Yuan Junzhang looked at Liu Wuzhou, who was doing a deep look, and said helplessly: "Eagle Strike, haven't we discussed these things many times repeatedly. You're still acting like this, now you're not a country tycoon, you can joke and joke at will. You are the Eagle Strike General of Heng'an Mansion! It's the Jianwu captain of the Great Sui! Deserve to be self-respecting! ”
Liu Wuzhou laughed: "I, an official, am nothing in the eyes of the family. I shouldn't have fought hard to move up, I shouldn't have fought to the death in Goryeo, I shouldn't have fought in the bloody battle of the Turkic royal border in Mayi, and I shouldn't have fought for their position! In this world, how can we share it, it is the plaything in the hands of their dozens of high-ranking families! ”
In the voice, there seemed to be countless resentment. Liu Wuzhou didn't want to stay in the city anymore, so he turned around and left.
"Wang Rengong wants to give food, but my old Liu doesn't want it! If you don't push me into a corner, what's the next step? ”
The footsteps were heavy and loud, and Liu Wuzhou had already strode away.
Yuan Junzhang is independent of the city, pondering.
Several teams of horsemen sent documents to various places, declaring Wang Rengong's guilt of colluding with the Turks, and a document reached Wang Rengong directly. Can such a method make Wang Rengong, who has a stubborn temperament, completely crazy?
If Wang Rengong can still maintain his sanity, the two sides will continue to stalemate, and next year, who knows what the situation will be.
Because Liu Wuzhou also wants to participate in this battle for the world as soon as possible, and also wants to completely control Mayi County in his hands as soon as possible!
Is there any other means to make Wang Rengong more crazy?
Yuan Junzhang thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue. In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.
Being in a remote place in the clouds, needless to say where the heart of the Central Plains is located, the influence that can be exerted on the governance of Shanyang County and the means that can be used are limited.
Where did another Xu Lelai appear, suddenly broke the conspiracy between Wang Rengong and the Turks, and captured Zhang Wanzai.
Then again, what is Xu Le doing now? Is it that he has already taken charge of the Lianghai Special Department and has begun to enjoy the blessings of the patriarch of the clan?
This kid is really a talent............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Shenwu County, after more loafers in the city joined the Mayi Yue Cavalry to participate in the looting, it was already a scene of chaos and chaos.
In the rainstorm, the looting has begun to escalate, and it is difficult to control it.
The combination of a rout and a local loafer is one of the most destructive beings.
Wang Rengong gathered heavy troops in Shanyang, and also arranged them at the road pass checkpoint at the junction with Yunzhong. In the hinterland counties of these Mayi counties, the local township soldiers are already very limited. And the local light heroes have joined the army, or go to Shanyang, or go to the clouds, and the men who dare to fight in the county are empty. Even if the local people of Mayi are fierce, they can't resist such a rebellion at this time.
The local guards all retired to the official office at this time, and the house slaves were on guard with bows and knives. But it can only be self-contained, where can I dare to restrain these red-eyed routs?
The rebellion first began in the east of the city and then spread.
At this time, the brigade of loafers poured into the streets, pushing open the wooden fence, and their eyes were full of violence. Many people were already chanting.
"Grab the west of the city! Grab the west of the city! ”
The west of the city is the area where the merchants of Shenwu County live. Most of these merchants were born as light heroes, led by Zhong Tieji. It has always been a powerful party in the city, and no one dares to hit them with ideas in their spare time.
But now that things have been done, and Ma Yi Yue rides these well-armed fighting men to support him, at this time, Shenwu County is a scoundrel, and his greed can no longer be contained!
