The closer you get to Zhangye, the thinner the snow becomes, and eventually even they disappear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info eyes are full of cracks and withering, as if the earth is using its own scars to accuse the tyranny of God.

After handing over Chahar's affairs to Luo Rong, Qin Lang decided to go to Zhangye for an investigation. After all, the paper is shallow, and if you don't go deep into the field, you won't get first-hand information, and many things will be ignored.

Sure enough, everything in front of him made his heart heavy. As things stand, this year's drought is already expected. The bigger hidden danger is the locusts, and as the weather gradually warms up, a dense number of locusts appear on the ground. If they are not destroyed, all green will be swallowed up in the summer.

"Mobilize the people to catch locusts, and exchange every catty for half a catty of cornmeal. Find a way to buy some ducks and distribute them to the masses for free, and if you raise them well, we will reward you with a canned meat. ”

"Yes, Commander, I'll go down and make arrangements."

During this time, Cai Feng was also very tired, and now his eye sockets are sunken, his beard is laza, and he looks at least forty or more from the outside, it is hard to imagine that he is only nineteen years old this year.

"Report to the division commander, the Northwest Army has sent someone and is waiting for you to negotiate in the city."

Hearing the herald's words, Cai Feng's brows couldn't help frowning, during this time, the Northwest Army frequently sent people to harass him, which was really annoying.

"Let's see, the specific negotiations will be carried out by you, and I will only be in charge of the staff officers."

Qin Lang said with a smile.

In the headquarters of the Second Division of the Gan Army, there were already seven or eight people seated. The leader is a soldier, surnamed Song and the word Kang Ping, Lanchi. To his left is a man wearing a tunic and a black top hat, who is the commissioner of the Gansu Provincial Government, surnamed Zhao Songcheng and Yuexuan.

Song Kangping was born in the military, and he was already quick to speak, and when he saw that there were no outsiders around, he asked in a low voice:

"Brother Yuexuan looked at how deep the water was in Zhangye?"

Zhao Songcheng just smiled lightly when he heard this.

He has always been known for his resourcefulness in the Northwest Army, but Feng Dashuai likes to reuse the people he promoted, and people like him naturally can't enter that circle, and now they can only get a job in the provincial government.

"The technique is quite old-fashioned, and there should be guidance from a master."

Song Kangping listened to it, but only smiled disdainfully.

"What do you think?"

There was a person standing up in the crowd, it was his confidant Guo Fan. In the past, because of his bravery, he was praised by Feng Dashuai.

"It's just a rabble, put in front of my 12th Division, it can be wiped out in two hours."

He saw the men and horses at the door, but it was just a group of young men with wooden sticks, and it was no problem to maintain law and order, if the two armies faced each other, as long as the machine guns killed a few, it was guaranteed that they would run away.

"I think so, too, but there's always a smell of blood in the city. Could it be that the commander of the second division likes to cut off people's heads? ”

They are all old people, of course Song Kangping didn't dare to hold it up, but the smell of it really made him nervous.

"You've been waiting for a long time, and I don't know what you're doing today."

At this moment, two young men walked in, and the leader arched his hand and sat directly on the other side of the table.

Song Kangping had already dealt with Cai Feng a few times outside the city, and he was somewhat familiar, but the young man who followed him was the first time he saw it. But both of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Master Cai, today is still a matter of food tax, and the first quarter is about to end, I wonder if you have ever been ready?"

Listening to the old-fashioned voice, Cai Feng's brows couldn't help but rise, and he said-for-tat:

"Director Song, there is a severe drought in several counties around Zhangye, I don't know where your disaster relief food is?"

Before the words fell, a loud "pop" was heard, and it turned out that Guo Fan slapped the table.

"Damn, the offal that hasn't grown two hairs, what kind of garlic is here? Today we're here to ask for money and food, who the fuck listens to you! ”

A trace of anger appeared on Cai Feng's face, but he still held back.

"You ask me for money and food, who am I looking for? The people outside ....... ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care who you want, if you don't take out 10,000 oceans and 200,000 catties of grain today, Lao Tzu will dismantle your headquarters or not?"

Guo Fan shouted.

Zhao Songcheng, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Cai Feng and closed his eyes again, this kind of blackmail naturally doesn't need to surrender his identity, just let those Qiu Ba do it!

"Guo Fan, speak well, this is the headquarters of the Second Division, how can you save some face."

Song Kangping's words seemed to be persuasive, but everyone could hear what he actually meant.

"What a second division, but it's just a grass platform team of two dolls. When Lao Tzu was on the battlefield, they still wore open crotch pants! ”

Guo Fan said this, and slapped the table again.

"Boy, are you giving food today?"

Cai Feng secretly glanced at Qin Lang, but found that there was no expression on his face.

"I don't have food for you, Director Song, please go back!"

Zhao Songcheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, it was obvious that Zhang Ye had no food, but this Master Cai was indeed a little tender, those Qiu Ba only believed in the gun in his hand, how could such a soft speech be effective. However, he is also from Gansu, and of course he can't bear to see his fellow villagers suffering.

"Master Cai, why don't you look at the old man's thin noodles and give half of them first?"

However, when he heard this, Guo Fan shouted:

"Commissioner Zhao is not stupid, looking at the appearance of the two dolls, Lao Tzu is angry, I will not give more than double today, and if this bird place is demolished, everyone will kill the fat field."

"You mean really?"

Qin Lang, who was sitting on the side, spoke.

"What if Lao Tzu is really? As for the group called Huazi at the gate of Zhangye, Lao Tzu's 12th division and a battalion were all cleaned up. You don't pay the grain now, right, when the time comes, kill the people in this city, won't Lao Tzu have food, and my mother is afraid of you? ”

It's not that I haven't done this kind of thing of closing the city gate and grabbing grain, but today's two boys are too leng, and if they don't teach them a lesson, there will still be people in Shaanxi and Gan who will listen to the words of the Northwest Army?

"What does Master Guo mean, is it also what Director Song means?"

Qin Lang asked coldly.

Song Kangping laughed a few times.

"Of course I mean! Now that even the relief grain and seeds have been collected, and I still care about a small Zhangye City, as long as the Northwest Army can win the battle, it won't take a few decades to not be all people here. Today, get acquainted and hand over the money and food, so let's talk about it. Otherwise, if you chase you to the grassland, you will be robbed of all the cattle and sheep. ”

Guo Fan was even more arrogant when he heard this:

"That is, Director Song is magnanimous, if Lao Tzu had already entered Zhangye, it doesn't matter if you are a soldier or a citizen, kill them all."

Cai Feng couldn't help but say when he heard this:

"Director Song, you are also from the Northwest, and you are watching the people starve to death?"

Guo Fan laughed wildly:

"The common people are a dick, as long as our Northwest Army can occupy more territory and starve them all to death?"

Qin Lang smiled coldly.

"Get out, I'm waiting for you to come!"

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a cruel smile:

"You two little bastards, wait for me to make jerky!" (To be continued.) )
