In the Futu Temple, the deputy general left by Zhenrong had a sad face, and walked to the window from time to time to look out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since Zhen Rong left, he withdrew all the believers' troops to the Futu Temple to defend it, waiting for Zhen Rong to come back with reinforcements to relieve the siege, but Zhen Rong has been away for three days, but he still has not returned.

Now that Futu Temple is completely besieged by Jiujiang soldiers and horses, he can't get any news from the outside. With the passage of time, the soldiers below will never see the harmony, and the people's hearts will gradually float.

Fortunately, there was enough food stored in the temple, otherwise he really didn't know how to maintain it.

"General, there are a lot of soldiers and horses outside." At this time, someone came to report.

"If it increases, it will increase, anyway, we don't need to go out, we will go down, hold on as usual, and don't let the thieves attack it."

"Yes!" After the man agreed, he turned and walked out, and just as he reached the door, he suddenly bumped into a person.

"General, general, it's not good!" The person who was hit didn't care at all, just shouted in a panic.

"What's the panic, the thieves are in?" The lieutenant general was already very irritable and shouted loudly.

"No, no—"

"And what's your name?"

"The thieves outside were carrying a human head, and they looked like, like—"

"Who is it?"

"It's the Prime Minister of the State!"

"What?" The adjutant general was startled and rushed to the gate of the temple.

It was the head of Zhenrong that frightened them. When Liu Miao saw the head of Zhenrong, he thought of a direct way to solve the recalcitrant believers, that is, to show the head of Zhenrong to his followers. For those believers, it is their faith, and if their faith is destroyed, they are not far from collapse.

At this time, Liu Miao was leading his soldiers to set up a formation in front of the gate of Futu Temple, waiting for the changes in the temple.

Everything was expected by Liu Miao, and in less than a stick of incense after picking out Zhenrong's head, a frantic believer soldier rushed out of the Futu Temple. They brandished their weapons and silently charged towards this side with firm steps, and Liu Miao could clearly see their red eyes and the green tendons on their arms that erupted from clenching their weapons.

When the believer soldiers approached Liu Miao's side and reached almost fifty paces, Liu Miao waved his arm fiercely and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

Hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers raised their Divine Arm Bows in their hands and pressed the trigger. (ps: The divine arm bow is not a bow, but a crossbow that can be operated by a single person, the standard weapon of the crossbowman of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a long range and great power, and the same as the bow of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is the nemesis of the cavalry.) ）

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Cold, sharp arrows shot forward with a dull sound of breaking through the air.

"Puff puff ......"

In the next moment, the arrows pierced through the bodies of one believer soldier after another. The rudimentary armor of the Believer soldiers could not withstand such a powerful impact, allowing the arrows to harvest the lives of their masters like death.

After a round of firing, the Believers who rushed out were almost completely lost, but the survivors, whether injured or not, still ran forward silently and resolutely. Their reddened eyes, staring at Liu Miao with hatred, or reverently looking at the head of the Rong Rong on the long pole, did not care at all about the arrow that could harvest their lives at any time.

Liu Miao felt a chill in his heart, it was the first time he had seen such a fierce soldier who was not afraid of death. At the same time, he was also glad in his heart, fortunately, the last sneak attack on the Geyi Mountain Barracks was successful, otherwise, if he asked Zhen Rong to gather all his believer soldiers and fight against the Xuanjia Army, it was very likely to bring huge losses to the Xuanjia Army.

Liu Miao glanced at Zhen Rong's head, it was really hard to imagine how this magic stick did it, but it could be speculated that Zhen Rong must have a certain S-level special skill.

It's just that those believers are a little sad, but Liu Miao will not let them go because of this.

After the Xuanjia army shot a few more rounds of arrows, there was finally no more believer army coming out of the Futu Temple, and there were more corpses in front of the Xuanjia army, roughly estimated to be nearly a thousand.

Liu Miao sighed and shook his head, and ordered the Xuanjia army to attack the Futu Temple and clean up the remnants inside.

Then he instructed Yan Yiyi: "Send Xu Da's head to Xu Da and let him show it to the prisoners in the Geyishan barracks." You tell Xu Da that if there are still stubborn people, there will be no forgiveness for killing, and the rest of the people will be arranged as hard labor to carry food for us. ”

The Futu Temple was soon taken over by Liu Miao, and Liu Miao walked into the Futu Temple, which was quite famous in later generations, with everyone full of expectations.

"Childe, I've found a warehouse where the grain is stored." Not surprisingly, Mulan soon brought good news.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Liu Miao followed Mulan to the warehouse she was talking about, which was on the basement floor of the Futu Temple.

As soon as he walked in, Liu Miao was shocked, this warehouse was even larger than the ground area of Futu Temple, more than two feet high. What's more, such a large warehouse is almost occupied, and there are ring-shaped wooden warehouses crowded one after another. There are grain in the wooden warehouse, there are gold nuggets, copper coins, and other goods such as ironware, cloth, etc., this is just a granary, it is completely a department storehouse!

"Move it for me, move it all back!" Liu Miao's voice trembled a little, and he said that Xuzhou was rich, and he really realized it now.

With these money, grain and goods, even if Liu Miao recruits another 200,000 displaced people and raises tens of thousands of more troops, he will be able to hold on this year. After this year, Tuntian is connected again, does Liu Miao still have to worry about money and food?

"Lord, this money and food is too much, even if all the captured captives are brought to do hard labor, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower and time!" Liu Ji reminded on the side.

"I've thought of this for a long time, and the solution is simple, hire someone! Whether it is a homeless person or a common person, we will recruit people in Xiapi to help us transport grain. I plan to set up a few soup kitchens outside Xiapi to attract displaced and poor people, and then issue a notice to recruit them, promising to pay them rice grain, and promising that all applicants will be given places in Jiujiang County. In this way, it not only solves the problem of grain transportation, but also increases the household registration for Jiujiang, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"My lord!" Liu Ji praised heartily.

"In addition, in order to save time and reduce losses, all the grain does not need to be transported to Shouchun, as long as it reaches the south bank of Huaishui."

"What do you mean?"

"Since I have come out, I have to reap the benefits, I not only want money and food, but also people, and land. Xiapi State is not beneficial to its own for the time being, but it should be no problem to occupy a few county seats. I intend to take the Huai River as the boundary, and include all the four cities south of the Huai River that belong to the Xia Pi Kingdom into the scope of Jiujiang County. This not only improved the defense system of our county, but also laid the foundation for entering Xuzhou again in the future. ”

Liu Ji said with some concern: "In this way, I am afraid that Tao Qian will be completely offended to death." ”

Liu Miao didn't care, and said: "I have already offended him by emptying the warehouse in Xiapi, and I don't care about offending him a little more." Moreover, as expected, the news that we took down Xiapi couldn't be concealed for too long, and before we returned to Jiujiang, we had to fight Tao Qian. ”

"That's right, then we'll have to hurry."

"The matter of recruiting people to transport food will be handed over to you Berwyn, and let Xue Rengui bring his subordinates to help you. In addition, after Zhang Liao led the troops, let him be responsible for the supervision and protection of the grain on the way. ”
