Chapter 374: Harvest Time

Andong City, the military lord's mansion.

The charcoal fire in the fire tray is burning vigorously, and after nightfall, although the outside of the house is still cold, the house is warm like spring.

In the lobby, except for the officers on duty, the Xiaoguo Army was celebrating the bloodless capture of Andong City, and the group of the generals of the Yan Army was chewing wax, shrugging their heads, and drinking stuffy wine.

"Ajili, Gao Xiang!"

"Descending General Ajili, Gao Xiang is here!"

"Ajili, you have made the first contribution to the capture of Andong City, so I want to appoint you as the governor of Andong Mansion and be in charge of the government affairs of Andong Mansion. I think that with your military master's ability, there should be no problem in managing the affairs of a government, you see? Zhao Xun said with a smile. This Ajili is indeed talented, but both military and political constraints are greatly restricted, which also makes him dissatisfied with the patriarch of the Su Mo Ya. That's why after his son was captured, when there was no way out, he immediately surrendered to the Xiaoguo army.

Ah Jili knew that Zhao Xun appointed himself, firstly, to sue other generals, and sincerely serve the Xiaoguo army, and he had a good reward. The second is to let him bear the hatred of the Tatar people, and at the same time appease the Tatar people as a general of the Tatar people. Since there is no way to retreat, let's completely fall to the Xiaoguo army.

"Subordinates take orders!" Ajili said in a deep voice, which also means that he, Ajili, will be a member of the Xiaoguo Army in the future.

"Hmmm! Gao Xiang, I want to recruit 30,000 people as baggage soldiers, and nearly 30,000 troops in the city are the most suitable. I now appoint you as the commander of the left part of the baggage army, in charge of 10,000 baggage troops, are you willing? ”

"The last general obeys!" Gao Xiang fell deeper than Ajili, and there was no way out. Seeing Zhao Xun's appointment, he naturally accepted it without hesitation.

As for the rest of the generals, Zhao Xun arranged them in the personal guard camp, no hands, this is the way in and out, I am afraid that the first battle will make them disappear cleanly.

On the second day, among the nearly 30,000 soldiers surrendered, more than 23,000 people who were over 45 years old, sick, and physically handicapped were wiped out. After recruiting 7,000 people from among the common people, they were completely disorganized and reorganized into three parts, left, center, and right, with a total of 30,000 people.

After arranging the military affairs in the city, Zhao Xun took the harvest this time. For the current Zhao Xun, money and food are very scarce, after all, he wants to relocate the people, and he also wants to exempt these people from taxes, and he can't feed the northern garrison with the taxes of local people. In the future, Liaozhou Mansion will be the vanguard of Liaodong Kingdom in the north and Su Mo Yao, while the other two prefectures will be the rear, and the lack of food will not work.

"Situ Liang, Zhao Kang, Li Lingfeng! How's it going, is the city cleared? What is the situation at each warehouse? How much grain is there? ”

According to Gao Xiang and A Qiqi in Liaojiao City, there is a lot of grain stored in this city, in addition to the confiscation of Xiping Mansion and Andong Mansion, there is also the grain left over from the garrison of Yan State in the past. Zhao Xun, who was in urgent need of food, confessed when the striker entered the city that he should be optimistic about the treasury and granary.

"General rest assured, the city has almost been cleaned up, and even if someone escapes, it won't be able to set off a big wave!" Li Lingfeng replied.

Commander Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, general, I just checked all the warehouses, and all of them are under our control." This time it was the surrender of the Yak Army, and the incident happened suddenly, and the Eunuch Army was not prepared at all, and all the warehouses and granaries were well preserved. When I checked in the morning, I found that everything was well preserved, and there was a lot of armor and food. ”

"Yes, have you counted the supplies in the warehouses in the city? How much grain is there? Hearing Situ Liang say this, Zhao Xun also became interested, since Situ Liang said a lot, it must be a lot. Compared with armor and equipment, Zhao Xun cares more about money and food. Food is the most critical, and without food, there is no need to talk about anything else.

"General, please come with me, this time is a big harvest!"

Situ Liang said with a smile, so he took Zhao Kang, Li Lingfeng, Zhao Xun and others to check directly to the various granaries. There are four granaries in the city, and a large granary is set up in each of the four cities, east, west, north and south. Before he entered, just outside the granary, Zhao Xun was satisfied. The granary occupies a large area, and there are hundreds of warehouses, large and small. The bags of grain in the warehouse are piled up like mountains, not only corn and wheat, but also rice, barley, soybeans and other grains. Seeing these mountains of grain, Zhao Xunwu's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

"How many stone grains are there in this city?"

Situ Liang happily pointed to the mountain of grain and said: "General, this Andong City is the center of the three eastern prefectures, connecting the north and the south and the east and west during the war, and it is also the passage for the north of the Anton Mansion and the Xiping Mansion in peacetime, so the collection and taxation of the two prefectures are all passed through here. In addition, it was also a logistical fortress for the two provinces, providing food supplies for the provinces of Si Binh and Andong. In addition to the grain stored here in the two prefectures, there is even the grain stored by the Yanguo border army a few years ago. In addition, our army began to advance eastward, so Su Mo Yan also specially transported a lot of grain here. ”

"After accounting, there are about 1.5 million stones, which is enough to provide an army of 100,000 for four years." Situ Liang said happily.

"One and a half million stones? This ...... It's sent! The three eastern provinces do not need to provide food from the south of Youzhou at all. Although some of the taxes are exempted for three years and some are taxed for one year, the commercial tax is still there, and in the past four years, there must be a lot of income, and the dilemma of the three eastern provinces has been solved! Zhao Xun muttered. It's good to send troops to fight anything, but food is a big problem, if it weren't for the fact that he scavenged a lot from the big landlords in Youzhou, and bought a lot from Qingzhou and Jizhou, I am afraid that he would not have sent troops to Dongsanfu lightly.

"General, here is the north and south, the three eastern provinces and the important commercial and trade city of Su Mo Jian, Khitan, Xi, Jin, Turkic, Murowei, and even the Central Plains, the Wa, Silla and other places caravans are gathered here, all kinds of cattle, sheep and horses, grain, slaves, silk porcelain, iron and other transactions are carried out here, the annual transaction volume is very huge. This time, we obtained so much grain, all of which were the grain and grass of the millet and the millet in the three eastern provinces, and the merchants could also scavenge hundreds of thousands of stone of grain, and there were countless cloths of all kinds, but the general had an order not to harass the merchants, so they were eliminated. ”

"In addition to food, there are several equipment warehouses in the city, all kinds of blades and armor, bows, arrows and feathers and arrows are piled up in several warehouses, which are completely enough to equip 100,000 soldiers, although these armor and equipment are far from being comparable to the Xiaoguo army, but they can also be used as a supplement for new soldiers, or for returning to the furnace."

"We ignore anything that is a normal merchant's thing, but they must pay taxes according to our policy. The rest will be confiscated. ”

For these, since they have laid down this place, they must govern this place as their own territory. To stabilize dìng, it is necessary to have a complete set of rules. These are ready to implement the policies formulated by Youzhou here, and it is much more convenient to implement them here than in Youzhou.

"Situ Liang. Let the Logistics Division take over here, and you must take care of it so that there are no accidents. The food here is related to the stability of the garrison in the East Three Mansions in the future, so don't be careless! Anyone who approaches the granary without a military order will be killed! Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Obey!"

Because most of the 30,000 baggage battalions were composed of troops from the Yan Army, although they were disrupted and reorganized, it did not affect their mission as a baggage battalion at all. After a simple adjustment, the baggage battalion also began to participate in the actions of the Xiaoguo Army and gradually integrated into the Xiaoguo Army.

30,000 soldiers of the heavy battalion followed the Xiaoguo army to conquer the surrounding counties and cities, with Ajili's warrant and the presence of the generals of Andong Mansion, the surrounding counties and cities fell one after another. Not only in the middle of the month, but the entire territory of Andong Mansion fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo army.

Not long after the fall of Andong City, Liaozhou Prefecture in the north and Xiping Mansion in the south learned of the situation. Liaozhou Mansion is naturally strictly defended, while Xiping Mansion is in a desperate situation. The retreat route in the north has been cut off, but a Xiaoguo army has appeared in the south, and the people of the entire Xiping Mansion are panicking.

Now in the southern part of Xiping Province, in addition to the 23,000 people who came by boat, the Xiaoguo army also trained 10,000 new troops, most of which are mainly Han Chinese and slaves of various ethnic groups in Xiping Province. In addition, 50,000 young and strong people were forcibly conscripted as heavy soldiers to repair the city walls, transport grain and grass, and collect the corpses of the two armies.

It has to be said that under the threat of their lives, these Tatar people surrendered, especially after learning that the Xiaoguo army occupied Andong Mansion, the southern cities occupied by the Xiaoguo army were completely stable. Without him, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army issued a notice that there were people in the city who rebelled and made trouble, and everyone in the city was killed! It's not that the people are frightened, but more than 30,000 people in two cities have been slaughtered. Two huge temples stood there, warning everyone not to have other thoughts.

"The army is heading north!"

"The army is attacking south!"

Li Chenfeng and Zhao Xun ordered at the same time that the armies of the north and south marched together and attacked each other.

With the occupation of Andong City, the Xiaoguo army has won consecutive battles, and the north and south have gradually begun to dock, and the focus of the Xiaoguo army has also turned to Liaozhou Mansion. I don't know if it was because of the loss of Andong City, Su Mo Yan did not lead his troops south, but resisted the Xiaoguo army in Liaozhou Mansion to go north.

Zhao Xun has been sitting in Andong City, coordinating the whole army, and meeting with the people who have migrated from time to time.

May passed quickly, and June finally arrived, and the weather turned hotter, not as hot as in the south, but also moderately hot and cold.

"What are you?"

"Miss Ziyan, when you meet the people who have migrated from Youzhou, you are happy for a while, and you get drunk!"

"Zhao Xun, why do you drink like this?" Su Ziyan helped carry Zhao Xun into the bedroom, and was about to get him sobering soup.

"Uh......" Zhao Xun turned over and poured Su Ziyan on the edge of the bed.

"Ah...... We still have something to do, let's leave first......" Wei Dong and Wei Chen disappeared into Zhao's bedroom like lightning at the moment, and also closed the door by the way.

"Zhao Xun, you bastard...... You get up......" Su Ziyan's face was as red as blood, and he said in a trembling voice. She felt that the fullness of her chest was covering the large hands, making her body weak.

"You're mine!" Suddenly, Zhao Xun opened his eyes, looked at Su Ziyan and said.

"You ......"

"You don't want to?"

"I ......"

Before Su Ziyan could answer, Zhao Xun stretched out his hand and pulled hard, Su Ziyan sighed, and his slender and plump body had already rolled together with Zhao Xun's strength, and Zhao Xun turned over and leaned over on top of Su Ziyan.

For some reason, Su Ziyan felt that she was powerless, as if she was burning. I couldn't resist it, so I had to lie down on my back, a pair of bright beautiful eyes quietly with an inexplicable color, looking at Zhao Xun, his breath was scattered and short, and his nose opened and closed, which was very tempting. The clothes on his body also spread out in the struggle, revealing the crisp breasts tightly wrapped in the white clothes inside, bulging, straight and warped, there is no more temptation for men's desires in the world than the round and full curves. And Su Ziyan, who practices martial arts, has a particularly attractive figure.

Zhao Xun's Adam's apple twitched violently, and the roar of a beast was noisy deep in his throat.

Wine is the medium of color......

Zhao Xun's hands reached out like eagle claws, probed into Su Ziyan's corset, grabbed the stiff plump, rubbed it wantonly, and the strange soft and greasy slip penetrated into the body like an electric current from the palm, penetrating into every nerve of Zhao Xun, and the fire in his heart burned more and more violently.

"You...... You ......"

Su Ziyan snorted, her eyes were full of incredulity, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. And Zhao Xun had already taken that tempting little mouth......

Su Ziyan's delicate body collapsed, and the pale pink face that was originally frightened also began to flush, and it looked more and more delicate under the light of the candlelight......

There was a coquettish cry, a mournful scream, and then a low moan began to be heard in the room......
