Chapter 104
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Qi commanded the army into Tongchuan County, and this time he did not coerce 300,000 displaced people, because this time he did not need it, most of the displaced people were not strong, and it was a burden to attack the city or march.
When Yang Qi entered the county office, Wang Wei had already filled the yaya with guards with knives in advance, and immediately summoned Jiang Feng to come.
Jiang Feng walked outside the county hall and saw several handsome guards standing at the door with knives, and they didn't stop anyone when they saw someone coming.
After Jiang Feng came in, he saw a black wooden table at the door, full of documents, Yang Qi leaned on the chair, seemed a little tired, and on the coffee table next to him, there was also a bowl of rice, half of which was still half eaten, steaming slightly.
Yang Qi saw Jiang Feng standing at the door, and immediately beckoned: "Let's sit down and talk!" ”
As soon as Jiang Feng sat down, Yang Qi immediately said: "This is Zhou Ping's battle report, he broke Tongchuan County in only half a day, I was very happy, but the above report shocked me very much." ”
"There is not much food left in Tongchuan County now, and the people's food has been scavenged, and many people in the city have been hungry for a day without eating."
"If the county seat is broken down for a few days, the people of the whole city will be starved to death?" Speaking of this, Yang Qi's face turned pale and he said with a sneer: "Originally, the government should have moved the people to the county town to avoid more and more displaced people, but this Lan Bowen was so mad that it was really beyond my expectations." ”
"Not only Tongchuan County, according to the information of the Black Flag, comprehensive intelligence from many aspects, it has been convinced that Lan Bowen ordered the forcible collection of grain and grass, and all the grain and grass were transferred to the county seat, but the people were not moved away, leaving ordinary people struggling on the line of death, hearing this news, Ben Shuai was really unbelievable and indignant!"
He pointed to the half bowl of rice on the coffee table and said, "This is the old rice that is just Chencang, and the people of this county eat it and shout long live!" The empire tramples on the people like this, how can it be undefeated! ”
"This rice has a musty smell, it is the old rice of the old warehouse, even if the old rice is moldy, the government is not willing to stay, it is like a mustard for human life, I can't swallow these old rice, I only ate half a bowl of ......" Speaking of this, Yang Qi sighed: "The grain of the rebel army also has new rice, but the soldiers must be allowed to eat this new army food, but it has been ordered that all the old rice will be cleared, and the whole county will be distributed, leaving them with a glimmer of life." ”
"When the army leaves here, maybe the government will take pity on the people's hardship, open a warehouse and release grain, so that the people can get through this difficulty."
"Dashuai, the government has lost its conscience, please don't blame yourself, the rebel soldiers were not forced to rebel like this, and in the future, please treat the people under his rule well!" When Jiang Feng heard this, he remembered his life when it was difficult, and he also shed tears, wiped his tears and said calmly: "I hope that the righteous army will level the world, and everyone will have food to eat, do their best, and die." ”
Unable to cry as he spoke, Yang Qi was silent, comforting Jiang Feng for a long time before he came to his senses.
Jiang Feng said hatefully: "It is also a last resort to distribute old grain and old rice to the people of the county, and there are still people who think that we have no grain in stock, fanning the flames in the county, hoarding grain and raising grain prices, which is really unscrupulous grain businessmen." ”
Yang Qi nodded when he heard this, and said: "This is what we want to discuss, now send troops to copy these grain merchants, even if there is a bad name left, we can't let the people live in despair, we rebelled at the beginning, wasn't it just to have something to eat." ”
Jiang Feng thought so, and said: "Marshal, the minister is willing to receive the order, supervise this matter, use soldiers to copy the grain merchants, and the minister is willing to bear the notoriety." ”
Yang Qi listened, nodded and said: "The people are living a difficult life along the way, looking for grass roots and tree bark everywhere for food, I have ordered the distribution of food, the people's livelihood is difficult, and it is one person who can save one person!" ”
When Jiang Feng heard this, he felt a burst of compassion in his heart, and said with pity: "The handsome man is wise and benevolent, and the minister will do it immediately!" ”
Yang Qi pondered, and his tone had gradually become stricter: "I have ordered the Black Flag to overseer it, Jiang Feng, you will be responsible for this matter, and you will be decisive in case of trouble, and now you have full authority to deal with this matter." ”
"As for the rest of the military and political affairs, you don't care about it for the time being, this grain stealing is a major matter, and you should deal with it first."
Jiang Feng received the order again: "No! ”
"I'll give you full power, this is an extraordinary time, if someone takes the opportunity to cheat, you will behead him, and I will give you three hundred personal soldiers to be temporarily dispatched!"
Jiang Feng was silent, and hurriedly responded.

Ansan-gun-wei New Town
"What? couldn't hold out for a day, and Tongchuan County was captured by anti-thieves? How could it be so fast? When the news reached Weixincheng, Ansan County, Lan Bowen slammed down a cup, pressed the table tightly with his palm, and stood up violently.
Lan Bowen knew the intelligence of the anti-thief, and he also expected that Tongchuan County would not be able to stop the attack of the anti-thief, but it was easily broken, and the strength displayed by the anti-thief still made him feel palpitations.
A few people standing across from Lan Bowen.
was preparing to discuss with Lan Bowen the henchmen of counterinsurgency military affairs here, and when Lan Bowen heard the news, they were listening clearly, and they all looked ugly at this time.
"The strength of the anti-thief is so great? It seems that the legend is true......" Staff member Chen Zhi frowned, thought about it, and raised his eyes: "Lord, the minister has seen the information of the anti-thief before, when the anti-thief led the troops to attack the city of Nanyang, he used a siege weapon, this weapon should be a large trebuchet or the like, I heard that the powerful stone throwing machine of the empire blasted the thick city wall of Si County out of the gap, and the officers and soldiers lost their fighting spirit after the city was broken. ”
"This stone thrower requires more than 100 soldiers to operate, I thought it was just hearsay, too exaggerated, but now it seems that it should be true."
"If this is the case, although the city wall of the county town is stronger than the county seat of Tongchuan, it cannot withstand the bombardment of the boulder for several days and nights. Chen Dao, could it be that the county town is going to be broken by anti-thieves this time? Lan Bowen worried.
"Lord, the thief must also have the strength to come to the county town." Chen Zhi smiled: "If the minister is not mistaken, on the road to the county town, there is a pass, which can block the advance of the anti-thieves, and when General Yuwen's counterinsurgency army comes, the thief army will be defeated on both sides." ”
"What you're saying is that the defense of the pass stronghold is really a good idea, which makes this stone thrower useless." The rambo text came to calm down a little bit.
However, it was safer for them to wait for the arrival of the imperial counterinsurgency army, and they did not have to fight the rebels head-on.
What's more, the strength of the anti-thief is not weak, if the boat capsizes in the gutter, it is difficult to guarantee that the county town will not be lost, so there is no need to fight with the anti-thief.
"The anti-thieves marched this time, a total of more than 10,000 people, and the officers and soldiers chose to defend the pass, and they could have 10,000 defenders against 10,000 anti-thieves, and the strength was almost the same. However, the anti-thief wins all battles, not to be underestimated! Lan Bowen muttered, his gaze falling on a mark on the map on the table.
