Zhang Dou and Yang Jiji had a conversation before they knew the current situation in the city, and if they came a few days late, they would probably have a food panic in the city.

The news of their defeat of Dacheng's army reached the city, and the price of food quickly fell. The grain merchants in the city had failed to make a fortune, and many of them were dissatisfied with the new officers and soldiers outside the city.

Kong Yanzhi, the Yansheng Gong of the Confucian Mansion, was one of them, and his family had the most food and was the most affected.

……

The people in the city were also full of curiosity about the new officers and soldiers outside the city, and many people came to the gate of the camp of the Changxing Army to watch.

Some bold people also took their few goods to the gate of the barracks to sell, and the soldiers of the Changxing Army have always been generous and fair trade, and the situation here is even more prosperous than in the city in just two days.

A slightly chubby middle-aged man stood in front of Kong Yanzhi and bowed down and said, "Master! A total of 4,300 taels of silver were used for this purchase of grain, and we lost more than 2,000 taels of silver due to the drop in grain prices. ”

Kong Yanzhi put down the teacup and nodded: "Sande! It's nothing to lose some money this time, so be careful next time. What is the name of the Changxing Army outside the city, why didn't they go to quell the rebellion, what are they doing in our Qubu? ”

Kong Sande replied respectfully: "Master! The Changxing army outside the city has been buying grain, pigs and sheep these days, and I heard that it is preparing for the army to go on an expedition. ”

"Hmm!" Kong Yanzhi snorted, he had known about this for a long time. Two days ago, the Changxing Army asked Qubu to provide military rations, but was pushed back by a sentence that Qubu had no food.

Zhang Dou has already come to Qubu and has not set foot in the Kong family to meet him, the Holy Father of Yan, which is definitely an unforgivable mistake.

Kong Yanzhi, who originally planned to take out some military rations to work for the army, changed his mind, and he wanted to let the Changxing army not get a single grain in Qubu.

Qubu and their Kong family are the sky, without their nod, no grain merchant will sell grain to the Changxing army.

Kong Yanzhi in the seat narrowed his eyes, Zhang Dou, a martial artist, dared not to come to see him, the Holy Father of Yan, and he would be taught a lesson.

If you delay the counterinsurgency, you will also participate in a book, and you will definitely make Zhang Dou unable to eat and walk around.

While their family was discussing, a family member ran in. He saw Kong Yanzhi kneeling down and saluting and said, "Master! The hill camp outside the city is gone! ”

"Oh? Have you taken a closer look? Kong Yanzhi asked.

"The little ones look carefully, and now those Qiu Ba are cleaning up the camp. They put everything in the car and will leave after a while. Jia Ding said with an oath.

Kong Yanzhi laughed after hearing this, "Haha!! Zhang Dou Xiao'er can't sit still, and a mere martial artist still dares to disrespect the teachings of the saints? Is it over when you're gone? The court and the middle are all disciples of the Confucian family! ”

Zhang Dou was accompanied by Yang Jiji and Yang Guodong, and their more than 1,000 soldiers and horses also followed Zhang Dou to Jinan to quell the rebellion.

Only by following Zhang Dou's side can the two generals of the defeated army be guilty and make meritorious contributions and keep their official positions. So as soon as Zhang Dou moved, they immediately followed, planning to go to Jinan with Zhang Dou.

"Uncle! The Kong family is too picky, you defeated the rebellious people, relieved the siege of Qubu, and didn't even get food for the labor army, it's really too much to say! Yang Guodong said.

Yang Jiji heard Yang Guodong's words and said, "Guodong Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" How can the Holy Father of Yan be discussed by our generals? Rest assured, trouble comes from the mouth! ”

Zhang Dou also smiled and waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if the Kong family doesn't have food, they are not afraid of the official army, there are always people who make them afraid!" The two of them were confused when they heard this, and they had to shut up when they saw that Zhang Dou didn't continue.

The Changxing army outside the city left, and the originally lively camp was deserted. In addition to the traces of encampment left in place, it is also possible to identify the empty flat land where a large army was once stationed.

The people of Qubu still opened the city gate early in the morning, as before. There were a lot of people entering the city on this day, and it didn't take long for hundreds of people to enter the county seat.

After the war, there were always people who fled back to the county seat, and they did not attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the gate.

It wasn't long before a cart full of sacks arrived near the city gates, and the veterans guarding the gate went to check on them as usual.

"What for? What's on the car? The veteran said as he came to the car and slapped the bag on the car with his hand.

A man in his thirties walked up, nodded and said, "Master Huijun!" The cart was loaded with grain. This is not? A few days ago, I heard that the price of grain in the county was high, and I wanted to go to the city to earn some silver. Raise your noble hand and let the little ones go into the city! You can take this silver tael to have tea with your brothers! As he spoke, he handed the veteran a small piece of silver.

The veteran put down his hand, and this piece of silver was about the same without a tael. It stands to reason that there is a lot of oil and water, but the siege of the city a few days ago has caused a shortage of food in the city.

The rebel army was defeated, and the price of food fell a lot, but in this period of war and chaos, food is the most tangible thing.

He rolled his eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "The outside of the city has been looted by the rebels, where is there still food!" I see that you are clearly thieves who want to sneak into the city and cause trouble. Take these people down for me! ”

The eyes of the dozen or so soldiers who were lazily guarding the city gate lit up when they heard the words of the veteran, which was the signal of slaughtering fat sheep.

They grabbed their weapons one after another and surrounded the cart. There were evil smiles on their faces, and one of the soldiers said: "Acquaintances quickly leave the cart and leave, otherwise leave your head for grandpa to sit on as a stool!" ”

Several people who were driving the car came behind the thirty-somethings, and there was no panic on their faces.

A young man said, "Second uncle! As I said a long time ago, this group of officers and soldiers does not have a single good thing. You don't listen, now it's okay. If you can't get in, it will ruin the good thing of the handsome, let's not think about ...... again" Before he finished speaking, he received a slap on the head.

"Fooling and what? Don't copy the guy yet! After he finished speaking, he pulled out a steel knife from under the cart and stabbed it at the veteran who was approaching.

The remaining five also drew their weapons from under the cart and killed the soldiers guarding the door. Their outburst startled the soldiers, who had been trying to get some food, were startled by what they saw.

When the veteran saw the steel knife slashing at him, he was so frightened that he retreated. The mouth was still saying: "Attacking the official army is a rebellion, if you don't surrender with your weapons at the moment, do you want to make the Nine Clans fail?" ”

"Lao Tzu Wu Dong, Dacheng Army is also! It's you corrupt officials who are killed! After shouting, he rushed to the soldiers guarding the door.

The five people behind him also killed each with weapons, and the soldiers guarding the gate were only a limited number of stronger than ordinary people.

Where are the opponents of several Dacheng troops who have been fighting, and the veterans of a few rounds were slashed in the shoulder by Wu Dong with a knife.

The veteran clutched his shoulders and fell to the ground screaming, and the remaining soldiers scattered in a hurry. Before they could get far, they were blocked back by hundreds of people.
