Chapter 68: Grain and Grass

On the dilapidated official road in the northwest, a group of cavalrymen in black leather armor escorted three carriages and walked slowly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It was getting late, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on these cavalrymen, and the snow-white steel knife on his waist also emitted bright light.

Wang Jin and his entourage are walking here.

"Wang Tingshi, it's getting late, there is a small village in the first three miles, you can go and stay." Li Yingxiong said loudly.

In addition to following his Li Zhuzi Chen Feng and Luo Ermeng, he also asked Li Yingxiong to come over, even if he was in the Yi'er Army, Li Yingxiong was at most the head of the capital, and he followed Wang into Jinzhou and could be a town general. Although the level is about the same as Dutou, this is a great opportunity to exercise, and it is also beneficial to be promoted in the army in the future, so I didn't say much, Li Yingxiong came.

Of course, it is impossible for Ren to come alone, in this troubled era, guards are indispensable, Wang Jin selected more than a dozen people in the original right camp, and Xu Liang was among them.

…………

When they arrived at the village, the houses were already empty, and in these years of fighting, the people had no way to farm at home safely, and they were either pulled strong or killed by the rebels.

I stayed in this empty village for the night, and the next day I went on the road again, and at the end of July, a group of people arrived in Jinju in almost August, although there were no difficulties and obstacles along the way, but it was really painful, and now that I finally arrived at the place, how could I not be excited.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I just entered the city, and I must arrange a good meal for my brothers to give a tooth sacrifice, I can't stand it from hunger." Li Yingxiong said with a big grin, he still has the same temper as before, and he can't change it.

Outside Jinju City, the army that originally besieged the city had long since left, and there are less than 1,000 people still guarding here. There were quite a few people standing outside the city, who were the ones who welcomed the new assassins.

The supreme governor here is just a commander, and after a boring greeting, after reading the order of the king of Jin, he entered the city smoothly.

Jinju has been destroyed by the war, and there are only pedestrians on the streets that used to be shoulder to shoulder, and there is no life to be seen at all.

The Yamen was also destroyed by the rebels, and the collapsed walls, broken masonry, and beams and trees left behind after the fire proclaimed the glory of this place.

There was no way, when he came to take office, Li Cunqiao just gave an official document, no money and food, and Wang Jin came to this almost empty city empty-handed.

"Wang Thorn History, there is a shortage of grain and grass in the army now, dare to ask King Chitose of Jin if he asked Thorn Shi to bring some grain and grass over." The middle-aged man who thought he was about forty or fifty years old said to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin was a little embarrassed, and when he came, everyone looked at him with a blank eye, and after seeing that he was only carrying a few carriages and a dozen or so entourages, his face changed. Soldiers don't want to be as pretentious as literati, and their thoughts are generally written on their faces.

A military general in the back looked at Wang Jin silently, and said very angrily: "Wang Tingshi, the army has only relied on a little grain to survive in the past two months, and from time to time they have to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. "This military general is called the last general in his mouth, but he doesn't have the slightest meaning of being the last general in his actions, and he is very arrogant.

"Who is this general?"

"The last general, Luo Kedi, was originally the commander of the Hedong Infantry Army, and now he is in Jinzhou, and he is the commander here." The military general was not modest, but he was not wrong, he was indeed the highest commander here before Wang Jin came.

"The grain and grass in Hedong are also nervous, and there has never been food for the official, but the official will not let the soldiers go hungry, and he will definitely think of a solution." Wang Jin can only play Tai Chi first, which army is not short of this grain and grass in the five generations? He didn't have a good way to do it, so he could only think slowly.

"Okay, Lord Assassin Shi remembered today's words, there are still things waiting for the end of the army to end, so I will leave." Luo Kedi looked at the young Wang Jin, and was very disdainful in his heart, where is this grain and grass so easy to get, anyway, as long as you say that it will be solved, and the rest will not care about my affairs.

Wang Jin didn't want to say anything more to this stinky fart Luo Kedi, so he let him go directly.

There are no civil officials in Jinzhou, so there is no banquet to talk about, but fortunately, Yu'er insisted on bringing some cured meat, pickles, and rice grains on the way here, otherwise this first meal would not have been settled. It is unique that a thorn history can be so miserable.

There are still a few small hotels still open on the streets, and the dilapidated wine flags flutter in the wind, but the doors are full of people.

"Yo, guest officer, it's really unfortunate, the small shop has no food, I'm afraid I can't find you, forgive me!" The boss is a lean old man, and when he saw so many people coming in, he hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, you don't have us. Don't worry, yours is the most important part of the meal. Li Yingxiong shouted.

The boss of "this ......" looked embarrassed, but seeing more than a dozen big men in the army with two women, I am afraid that it is not easy to think about it.

"What, can't you?"

"Okay, as long as the guest officer has food."

"I'm getting some wine, damn it, I'm suffocated along the way, and the wine worm is itching."

The boss looked at this military master, and wanted to cry without tears, this grain was requisitioned by the army, and his family also relied on some of the life left before, where is there still wine.

Wang Jin looked at the boss who was very embarrassed, and came out to make a round, "No need, there is a shortage of food in the city now, but it can be solved in a short time, and your business will continue as usual." ”

The boss saw that Wang Jin had a kind face, and he didn't want Li Yingxiong to be so scary, so he had the courage to complain; "It's not, the people have no way to live at this time, just after the war a few days ago, the Liang army snatched everything that Chengli could eat, and then Jin came to scrape the ground again, there is no way to live!"

Wang Jin also knew about this situation, the army's consumption of grain and grass was amazing, and the logistics were unfavorable, so he could only use the people to open the knife, and the scene in the city was afraid that people would eat people.

"You, what are you howling, why don't you go cook!" Li Yingxiong has little sympathy. …………

A hearty dinner Wang Jin ate was tasteless, he just came to Jinju and encountered such a big trouble, if he didn't solve it, I was afraid that this thorn history would be unstable, and the grain was not conjured out of thin air, along the way, most of the fields were barren, and there were no people at all.

"Wang Tingshi, I have a way to this grain, you see if it will work." While Wang Jin was still pondering, Chen Feng spoke.

"Well, let's hear about it." Interested in coming in, Chen Feng gave him the feeling that he was like a resourceful master, who could always come up with a lot of good ways to come out.

"In the current situation, you can only rob it."

Wang Jin didn't slow down, "Rob? Who's robbing? ”

"Naturally, it's not to rob yourself, aren't there still a few nearby counties controlled by the Liang army, let's go rob them!" Chen Feng lowered his voice and said in Wang Jin's ear.
