That's it?

Li Rusong still has such doubts, he feels incredible, when did these northern captives become so vulnerable? Although those cannons are indeed very powerful, this should not be the reason why the Northern Capture was defeated so easily, perhaps it should be said......

In order to attack the city, most of the northern captives did not ride horses, and they did not have the foot combat and formation familiar to the Han people, so they could only be slaughtered by the cavalry.

After fighting with the Northern Captives for so many years, it was the first time that Li Rusong saw the Northern Prisoner infantry slaughtered by his Han cavalry.

Putting away his thoughts, Li Rusong set his eyes on the Beiyu camp not far away, without thinking too much, Li Rusong directly ordered to attack the Beiyu camp, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, at this time, even if there was an ambush, he didn't care, he must rush in and kill him.

So Li Rusong's cavalry soon launched a second wave of attacks, and killed the camp in the north, and when he entered it, Li Rusong suddenly had a strange feeling, and the more he rushed inside, the more obvious this feeling became.

This is an empty camp.

This huge barracks should have been a barracks with tens of thousands of people, but there was no one in it, because it was too empty and weird, even the powerful Liaodong iron cavalry couldn't help but stop the impact, gathered around Li Rusong, and looked around the huge barracks strangely.

Li Rusong felt more and more that something was wrong.

If there was an ambush, shouldn't it have appeared a long time ago? It should have appeared when they stormed the camp, but now that it has reached this point, there is still no ambush, could it be that there is really an empty camp and no ambush? Really?

More than 30 years of experience in battlefield battles has given Li Rusong a keen intuition, and the idea that this is an empty camp is full of Li Rusong's thinking.

"Spread out! Investigate the surroundings and remember, be careful! ”

"No!"

The cavalry were very skillfully divided into various squads and searched carefully in the large camp, opening the way with bows and crossbows in everything, and never galloping on horseback easily.

The situation was too unexpected, Li Rusong didn't dare to assert that there must be no ambush, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and now in such an abnormal situation, no one dared to rush up, for fear of losing his life in vain, but it didn't take long for a small group of cavalry to discover the grain and grass camp in the north.

Mountains of grain and forage, and some tethered horses.

They immediately went to inform Li Rusong.

Li Rusong quickly brought people over, and was also shocked by the amount of grain here.

Could this be a trap?

Li Rusong felt unlikely.

If this is the trap, then the price paid by the Beilu is too great, and the Beiyu are too tolerant, which is completely different from the impression they have always given, and it is too strange.

Li Rusong was hesitating, and Xiao Ruxun sent someone to give an order-

This battalion does not have 40,000 cavalry at all, the main force of the northern captives has already evacuated at night, and only two or three kittens are left here, which are basically killed in front, this battalion has become an empty battalion, but there may be a large number of supplies seized, so Li Rusong quickly took the battalion, protected the seized materials, and did not allow arson.

Li Rusong suddenly had a feeling of being deceived.

The fate of deceiving Li Rusong is very pitiful.

By the time it was time to have lunch at noon, Li Rusong had already taken down the entire Beiyu camp, and searched for five or six hundred remnants of the Beiyu who were hiding and trying to escape until the evening, Li Rusong asked Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun just waved his hand, let Li Rusong watch and deal with it himself, Li Rusong instantly understood what Xiao Ruxun meant.

All decapitated.

Xiao Ruxun didn't have the heart to care about the prisoners, all his energy was attracted by this mountain of grain and grass, according to the soldier's explanation, these grains seemed to appear out of thin air.

Obviously, when these northern captives attacked the castle where they were, they were still grabbing food everywhere, like hungry wolves, but within a few days, there was so much food, which was really abnormal.

Datong Xuanfu, Taiyuan, Yulin and other military towns were completely affected, and it was not only Datong who suffered from food shortages, since the local garrison had nothing to eat, so where did these northern captives get so much grain and grass? Could it be that it all fell from the sky?

Also, why did the 35,000 northern cavalry leave at night? Where did they go? What is the purpose?

There were many doubts surrounding Xiao Ruxun, and he felt uneasy, but he didn't know what made him so uneasy.

"Admiral, I have seen that some veterans of Tuntian in the army have also come to see that these grains are not new grains, they are all old grains, and there is no such thing as new grains, and there is indeed not much new grain this year, so these cannot be the grains that the Beiyu scavenged from Datong Castle.

As far as the last general knows, since the beginning of this year, the Xuanfu of Taiyuan in Datong, including Jizhen, which was guarded by the last general, has to rely on rice from the south of the Yangtze River to survive, and the grain in the hands of the Datong army should be the rice from the south of the Yangtze River last year and this year, but the grain in the north is basically wheat, and there is only a very small amount of rice, which is very abnormal. ”

Chai Guozhu walked up to Xiao Ruxun and reported to Xiao Ruxun the problems he had observed.

"Wheat, old grain...... Even if there is not so much old grain, the weather is not a matter of one or two years, and the disaster is not a family, if the old grain is more than two years, then what kind of rich family can store so much old grain?

It is definitely impossible for the people, the people rely on God to eat, and it is impossible to have much food in store throughout the year, and it is very good to have enough to eat, how can there be so much food in stock? If there is a stockpile of grain, it will not be sent to Burma by the imperial court on a large scale, and they have no stockpile, so whose is the stockpile? ”

Chai Guozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Admiral, there are some things that the general doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"Speak."

Xiao Ruxun frowned.

"No, Admiral, according to a veteran of the last general's command who has been in Tuntian for many years, many of this batch of grain are old grain of four or five years, and even older grain."

"Four or five years of old grain? How is this possible? Not to mention the people, the average big family doesn't have that much old grain in their hands, right? What are they doing with all this stale grain? What's ......"

Suddenly, Xiao Ruxun thought of something, suddenly realized, and turned his head to look at Chai Guozhu.

"Could it be that what you want to say is ......"

"Yes, Admiral, at this moment, in this place, only those who may have more than four or five years of food, and only they can have a place to live, and there is no other person who can do it."

Chai Guozhu said in a whispered with a difficult face.

There are many questions that can't be figured out, but now, Xiao Ruxun has figured them all out.

In addition to the Jin merchant family, how many people in the area of Datong, Shanxi Province, can have such a large amount of grain for more than four or five years?
