Text Chapter 36: Shangjun has no food
In the past two days, Yu Tuman, the barbarian Dadan, was very depressed, and he originally planned to surround the point to help Huang Shuhan toss Huang Shuhan with many people, but he didn't expect that Huang Shuhan, a guy who was also born in a barbarian, has a strong ability to fight in the field. 80,000 against 30,000 did not have an absolute advantage, but fortunately, Tu Man reacted quickly, and ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
"This Shangjun can't be robbed. Zhou Cong, this bastard. The order went down, first went around in a circle in Shangjun, dizzy Huang Shuhan, and then looked at an opportunity to change places. ”
Huang Shuhan was also depressed, and after coming to Shangjun, he found out that Zhou Cong's tax exemption was real-where did his 30,000 army eat? Several large households in Gaole County can't even afford to support Changhe's 10,000 people, and their own 30,000 people are ......
"No way, Jie Shuai. Unless you go to the people's homes to eat, there will be no food for you in Gaole County. ”
"Is this guy really only collecting 30% of the tax?"
"Yes, only thirty percent was collected, and after the officials were given Lu rice, the rest were in the upper county town."
"What do you mean, if I want to eat, I have to run him to the county town to beg for food?"
"Jieshuai, how many rations did you bring?"
"Six days of rations. Dig up the food on the way, just enough for me to go back. ”
"Don't mind, Jieshuai, you're gone, I can't beat that barbarian."
"Then you let Zhou Cong take care of the food!"
"Jie Shuai, can you just go directly?"
"You slippery head. I'm going now, what will the barbarians think? Lao Huang didn't bring food? Came up and went to eat and drink after a fight? ”
"Jieshuai, you must have a way, right?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I guess the barbarians have two ideas right now. Either leave me in the upper county, and then he will go to other counties to rob me. Either fool me out of Shangjun, and then attack Shangjun with all your might. ”
"If I were a barbarian, I wouldn't stay in Shangjun."
"Don't boast, beware of the barbarians stealing the county town, you will have nothing to eat."
"Don't worry, even if the county town is burned, I can't starve to death."
"Okay! You and Zhou Cong are quite popular with the people, and the people invite you to eat at home. Huang Shuhan was really unhappy, and the prancing horse whipped up, "No need to send it." ”
Soon, the barbarian Da Dan Yu received information: Huang Shuhan's 30,000 troops had left Shangjun and returned to Shangyuan County.
"What kind of fame is this Huang Shuhan? What do you want to do? ”
"Da Danyu, he won't have to attack Shangjun, he will kill back, right?"
"Quite possibly. But we've already given up on Zhou Cong? ”
"Also, the spies came to report that Yang Lang, the Taishou of Shangjun, has arrived in Shangyuan County."
"Don't worry about this kid. The order went down and besieged the upper county town. In addition, pay attention to Huang Shuhan's movements at any time. ”
Now it's Zhou Cong's turn to have a headache - 100,000 people surrounded his upper county town.
Zhou Cong climbed the tower and found that the south was all red horses, the north was black horses, the west was white horses, and the east was green horses. The barbarians besiege but do not attack, but I am afraid that it is another trick to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
But if the barbarians don't retreat, how can they eat with them? Really go to the people's homes to fight the autumn breeze? Can they restrain the soldiers from disturbing the people? If there is a conflict, can Chang and this big old man be settled?
Chang He also had a big head, and he said to the festival marshal that the people's family was just talking. Since ancient times, those who can be eaten by the people are the benevolent and righteous teachers of the holy kings of the past dynasties, and the Jin family has been in chaos for a hundred years, and winning the hearts of the people has long become a fantasy. I really can't believe that Zhou Cong has such a big face to let the people take care of the food?
"How much more food is there?"
"General, we don't carry ...... with us"
"Grandma's! Originally, I planned to support Huang Jieshuai until he came, but I didn't expect Huang Jieshuai to come to our county without bringing food! As soon as Huang Jieshuai left, the barbarian army of 100,000 surrounded Shangjun City. It's a joke that we open the encirclement! ”
"But general, the barbarians also have to eat."
"I know, but didn't the barbarians turn Gaonu County upside down?" Chang He patted his head, "Pass the order to go down and go to Gaonu County." ”
"Gaonu County has been burned to ashes, what else is there besides ashes?"
"The barbarians have been in Gaonu County for most of the day, and the grain must not have been scavenged. Let's go through it, there must still be a place left. ”
"There really is!"
"I have that here."
"I found a cellar."
"I dug into the taro pit."
"I'm worse luck than you, I've got a big living man."
Frightened, everyone was stunned, and randomly shouted: "Ghost! ”
"Look at you. Isn't this just a woman? "A soldier from Gaole County dug a small cellar in the pillar, and there was a woman who was eating rice balls in it, and when she saw that she had opened the cellar, she was so frightened that she immediately shrank into a ball, and the rice balls were also lost." Don't be afraid, it's the army of our Xia people. But he said in his heart: "What a handsome woman." ”
"Don't come here! Yes! There was a scream, so startled that the pillar didn't sit still, and sat on the ground.
After the comrades reacted, they avoided the courtyard one after another.
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, burned the bones of Gaonu County, and then buried them. By the way, more than 100 survivors were found in the cleanup, and they planned to move them to Gaole County to settle down for a while, and then make plans after the barbarians retreated.
By the way, I also found enough food to eat for three months, which are the inheritance of the people of Gaonu County. Now that Gaonu County has been destroyed, he will not hesitate to return to the military, and Chang He ordered people to take these grains to a few counties near the county town to see where they can settle down.
As for Zhou Cong, Chang He really can't save him - 10,000 against 100,000 is not much good way.
Although the barbarian Da Dan Yu also grabbed a lot of grain in Gaonu County, he had an army of 100,000 under his command, and the population of the entire county in Gaonu County was less than 10,000. That is to say, if you get all the food in Gaonu County, it is only enough for the 100,000 troops under your command to eat for less than a month, not to mention that the food is collected from door to door in a short period of time, and it is only enough to eat for less than half a month with a discount.
So you let him surround the upper county, and if there is no extra food, he is not willing to surround it for a few more days. He came out to grab the grain and take it home to spend the winter, not to go up to the county town to spend the winter.
"Huang Shuhan hasn't moved yet?"
"Da Danyu, Huang Shuhan stayed in the nest and didn't come out. Also, it's getting colder......"
"He won't look for us, so we'll go to them, to Northland. To the south of Beidi County is Xihai County, the small treasury of the King of Jin. I think he Huang Shuhan can still sit still! ”
This time it's the turn of the Northland County Commander and Nakaro to have a headache. If the barbarians reach Northland County, then it is strange that Xihai County, a major commercial town behind him, must not have a commercial panic. If the business of Xihai County collapses, I am afraid that the king will cut people!
And Huang Shuhan really couldn't sit still, if the barbarians tossed back and forth in the border counties of Shangjun and Yanmen County, it would be reasonable, but if the barbarians were allowed to go deep into the interior, he would be able to enter the Tingwei Mansion.
Zhou Cong is also going crazy, you surrounded me for two days and two nights without attacking the city, I couldn't sleep night after night, and now I'm gone? Do I believe it or not?
"Old Cao? What is this for? ”
"To Northland?"
"Don't! Then I'm not going to jail, I'm going to cut off my head at the entrance of the vegetable market! ”
