Although Zhang Meng promised to ignore Hu Ling, he was thinking about how to smash Hu Ling to death with a hammer.

Sun Yu came over with a bowl of hot soup and two dough cakes and handed them to Wang Xu, saying: "Lord, fifty miles ahead is Jingliao County, but there is not even a single victim here, and my subordinates are a little worried."

Wang Xu took a bite of the dough cake and said, "Don't worry, tell the soldiers, continue to hurry when you are full of food and drink, march fifty miles in a hurry, and rest when you reach Jingliao."

"No".

There was only a simple flatbread and gruel, so the soldiers ate quickly, half an hour later, Wang Xu picked up the little girl in the carriage, and the army continued to move forward, although the soldiers were exhausted, but there was no complaint, because everyone knew that only when they arrived in Jingliao County could they rest peacefully; That's where they go.

If the journey of fifty miles is normal, it will take a day, but Wang Xu has already ordered a rapid march, so he arrived early the next morning, and the five thousand soldiers were erected outside the county seat of Jingliao, most of the soldiers were tired and sat on the ground, and Wang Xu did not stop it, because even if Wang Xu sat in the carriage and walked all night, now he feels tired, and the soldiers can be regarded as running all night, and it is not easy to hold on until now.

Looking at the Jingliao County in front of him, Wang Xu shook his head, compared to Languan, it was far behind, the city wall was broken, the moat was dry, and even the city gate was full of loopholes.

"Lord, this is also a city, I don't think it's as solid as the camp" Zhang Meng marched all night, but he was in good spirits, not a little tired, holding a sledgehammer, and said: "Lord, you don't have to wait for the county order to open the door, I can smash the city gate open with a hammer."

Wang Xu rolled his eyes and scolded: "Shut up for me, have you ever seen someone smash the door of their house and enter the house."

Sun Yu worried: "Lord, Huang Quan is escorting more than 50,000 grains to the rear army, and the more than 40,000 people are still more than ten miles away from here, and his subordinates are worried that Hu Ling will hurt the people or beat our military rations."

"Don't worry, now Hu Ling categorically doesn't dare to offend us, but he will worry about whether we are leaving so much food in the rear army to lure him in; Besides, their little marquis is still in our hands, how dare he make a mistake," Wang Xu said.

Zhang Meng pointed to the city gate and said, "Lord, the city gate is open."

Wang Xu raised his eyes and saw that there were people everywhere in the city, some walking, lying down, and sitting, and there would be no less than a thousand people at this glance, didn't it mean that there were less than 100 households in Jingliao County? Why is it overcrowded now.

Jia Hui came to Wang Xu's carriage with more than a dozen county soldiers, knelt down and said: "Jia Hui, the chief bookkeeper of Jingliao County, see the general."

"Well, where is your county commander?" Zhang Meng asked loudly. Zhang Meng's voice was deafening, Jia Hui was startled, and said tremblingly: "The county commander has escaped."

"Okay, you all get up, follow me into the city" Wang Xu waved his hand, and the five thousand soldiers erected outside the city followed the carriage and walked towards the city.

As soon as they entered the city pass, the people all stood up and dispersed to both sides to make way for the army, although there were many victims, but none of them dared to come forward to ask for food, because in their eyes the officers and soldiers were all cannibalistic and did not spit out bones, although the notice said that it would help the victims, but who dared to stand up in front of these thousands of troops.

"That master book, Jia Hui, right, how can there be so many victims here?"

Jia Hui followed the carriage, wiped his sweat, and said worriedly: "General, my subordinates heard that the general is coming to Jingliao County to help the victims, and my Jingliao County actually has no more than 100 households, so my subordinates spread the news that the general is going to come to Jingliao to help the victims the day before yesterday, so in the past few days, the victims from all over Jingliao County have gathered in the county seat."

After Jia Hui finished speaking, he quietly looked at Wang Xu, but what disappointed Jia Hui was that Wang Xu's face was full of waves, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Although Wang Xu's face is expressionless now, his heart is happy, if he wants to exterminate the bandits in Jingliao County, he must expand the army, but if there are less than 100 households in Jingliao County, where will the source of soldiers come from? Moreover, Hu Ling of Minglan County led 5,000 troops behind him, although Hu Ling was frightened, but it was also a big threat, and he was not sure to lead his troops to attack one day, and there was no absolute strength to compete with it; But if there are so many displaced people in Jingliao County, then the matter of expanding the army will be much simpler.

"Mr. Jia, come, get in the car" Wang Xu grabbed Jia Hui and mentioned it, and Jia Hui sat in front of the carriage.

Being forcibly dragged into the carriage, Jia Hui was naturally unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he was happy again, since the general lifted himself into the carriage and rode with him, this shows that the general did not blame himself, and his life can be regarded as saved.

This also shows that Wang Xu is a person who works for the people and is a clean official, which is not easy in Jia Hui's view; Especially for Wang Xu, it is not easy to transport grain from hundreds of miles away to Jingliao to relieve the victims. When Jia Hui looked at Wang Xu, he inadvertently showed a trace of admiration and respect, maybe he didn't even know this, Jia Hui arched his hand and said: "General, I don't know how much food the general brought on this trip?" ”

"What, are you afraid that I won't have enough food?" Wang Xu joked: "Mr. Jia, you can rest assured that you can accept the homeless people, as many homeless people as you have, this general will have as much food."

"The general cares about the people, worries about the country and the people, is really a model in the world, Jia Hui admires it so much." Wang Xu was stunned and said modestly: "Mr. Jia has won the award, this relief to the victims is my duty, and it should be done."

"I wonder how many victims are there in Jingliao County now?" Wang Xu continued to ask.

"Last night, my subordinates counted it, and there were about 30,000 or so" As soon as Jia Hui finished speaking, he saw a black line on Wang Xu's forehead; Jia Hui secretly said that it is not good, there are still many corrupt officials in the world, and more than 30,000 victims have to eat hundreds of deniers of food a day, no matter who hears it, they are distressed; If you know it earlier, you will store it less.

"Mr. Jia, didn't you say that this Jingliao County was seriously affected, how could there be tens of thousands of victims, it was far worse than I thought" 30,000 victims are indeed too few, and the 30,000 victims can recruit 35,000 young people at most, although it is enough to exterminate the bandits in Jingliao County, but the situation of the prince in the royal city is very dangerous, and the prince may seize the throne at any time, if the prince dies, the first person the prince wants to get rid of may be himself; Guxi County has more than 100,000 elites, and it doesn't have enough strength, how can it survive here?

"Mr. Jia, from now on, give me a notice, and it doesn't matter if you send the notice to a few neighboring counties, just say that Jingliao County has free porridge to drink, as long as it is a disaster victim, Jingliao County will accept it."

Jia Hui was stunned, then a smile bloomed on his face, and he said solemnly: "General rest assured, Jia will do his best to gather all the victims in Jingliao County."

But Jia Hui is a little worried, if notices are sent to several neighboring counties, there may be hundreds of thousands of victims, and thousands of deniers of grain may be eaten in a day; Is there so much food for disaster relief?

Wang Xu seemed to see Jia Hui's thoughts, smiled, and comforted: "Mr. Jia, you don't have to worry, I have my own way to deal with food."

Looking at Zhu Yu who was being held behind him, Wang Xu had a wicked smile on his face, isn't it simple to want food, I don't know how much food a little marquis is worth
