After everyone left, Yang Zheng looked at Liu Shengyuan and said with a smile: "Sir, if there is something, let's sit down and talk about it." ”

Yanagi nodded, then found a place to sit down.

"Owner, I heard that there is not much grain and grass in the city?"

Yang Zheng sighed deeply and said, "When the city was broken last night, when the Khitans fled, they set fire to the granary, and thousands of stones of grain and grass were destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shengyuan lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "Owner, those Khitan people are not simple, there must be a powerful character in them." ”

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Liu Shengyuan said in a deep voice: "Imagine the owner, if it was us last night, the city defense was breached, at such a critical juncture, we wouldn't even have time to escape, where would we have the heart and effort to burn the granary." ”

Yang Zheng frowned, thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said was reasonable.

If he had been guarding the city last night, facing a group of enemies with mysterious firearms, he would have only thought about escaping for his life as soon as possible, and everything else could be put down.

At this time, Liu Shengyuan continued: "I learned from the third master last night that the owner of the village broke through the city defense of Bluestone Castle, and it was only a quarter of an hour before and after, so in such a short time, ordinary people couldn't react at all. Last night, although most of the Khitans were damaged, they set fire to the granary in a short period of time, and they also fled with the leader, so it can be seen that there must be a clever think tank behind them. ”

Yang Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Desperate plan!" ”

"That's right, it's a desperate plan!"

Liu Shengyuan said with a solemn expression: "As far as I know, Xuanyuan Stone is abundant in the Qingshi Castle, and this place is very important to those Khitan people, and there is no room for loss. Although we relied on a surprise attack to capture the bluestone fort last night, those Khitan warehouses will definitely be snatched back. ”

At this moment, Yang Zheng finally understood the intention of the Khitans when they fled, burned the granary, and completely cut off the back road in the city.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng took a deep breath and said: "The Khitan people know that the bluestone fort occupies a dangerous barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, they will never want to break through, only by cutting off the grain and grass in the city, they can win without a fight!" So it seems that they will soon be killed. ”

Liu Shengyuan nodded, "The ore in the city is very important to them, and it is very urgent, it seems that we have to prepare in advance." ”

Yang Zheng rubbed his swollen and painful eyebrows, and said, "There is nothing to prepare for, the most important thing is the lack of food." ”

Liu Shengyuan asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the city?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "Hundreds of stones of grain were rescued in the fire last night, and there are dozens of stones in the kitchen courtyard in the city, adding up to less than two hundred stones in total. ”

"Two hundred stone of grain, one stone of one hundred and fifty pounds......"

Liu Shengyuan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "At present, we have nearly three hundred people in Yangjiazhuang, plus the 1,200 Han people in the city, a total of almost 1,500 people, according to the consumption of two catties of grain per person per day, the entire Qingshi Fort will consume nearly twenty stone of grain a day, so calculated, our current grain and grass can support half a month at most." ”

Hearing this, Yang Zheng lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "We must send someone out to find food as soon as possible, even if it is robbed!" ”

Liu Shengyuan said: "I must go to find food, but I have to beware of the Khitan sneak attack in secret!" ”

Yang Zheng nodded, "Those Khitans know that we are short of food, and they will definitely send people to keep an eye on us in secret, as long as our men and horses go out of the city, it is estimated that they will take action soon." By the way, sir, is there a place near this bluestone fort where you can find grain and grass? ”

Liu Shengyuan thought for a while, "This is the Western Wilderness, the land is desolate and barren, it is generally difficult to grow food, due to the division of gang forces here in the Western Wilderness, the situation is very chaotic, and there will be no villages and towns dedicated to growing food, so if you want to get food, you must go to other gang forces to buy it!" Moreover, all the grain in the Western Wilderness was purchased from various surrounding countries. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Since this Western Wilderness is so barren and desolate, how can everyone survive?" Why are those gangs divided here? ”

Liu Shengyuan said with a smile: "Although the Western Wilderness is barren and desolate, there are a large number of Xuanyuan stones here, and the Xuanyuan stones here are real money, and they are the treasures that countless rivers and lakes flock to!" ”

"Regulus?"

Yang Zheng heard this thing more than once today, and said with some curiosity: "What is Xuanyuan Stone?" Why is it so valuable? ”

Liu Shengyuan said: "The owner of the village should have heard me say before that if the armor master wants to maintain or improve his ability, he must continuously consume Ethereal Scatter, but Xuanyuan Stone is the main material for refining Ethereal Scatter. Now the owner should understand the value of Xuanyuan stone, right? ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Zheng suddenly realized.

The armor division is the most powerful war machine of each country, and it is no exaggeration to say that these armor divisions are like modern strategic nuclear weapons, in order to ensure the continuous operation of the armor division, even if it costs a lot of money, the forces of various countries are not hesitating.

For those armor divisions, Xuanyuan Stone is estimated to be equivalent to energy, and with energy supplementation, they can exert their power and reflect the value of war.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yang Zheng's mind, and he turned his head to look at Liu Shengyuan and said, "You said that the bluestone fort we occupied is rich in Xuanyuan stone, if we recruit soldiers, wouldn't it be easy?" ”

Liu Shengyuan shook his head and said: "None of us know the method of refining the ethereal dispersion, besides, all the armor divisions are noble, pampered, and not easy to serve, and ordinary small forces can't be recruited at all, unless our own people awaken and succeed." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Shengyuan suddenly smiled and said: "Zhuang Master, occupying the Qingshi Fort will help you the most, after all, you are already a soldier armor division, as long as we have Xuanyuan Stone in our hands in the future, we can exchange a large amount of ethereal spirit scatter for the Zhuang owner to improve his strength." ”

Yang Zheng couldn't answer, he couldn't tell Liu Shengyuan that he wasn't a soldier armorer, but just had an infinite arsenal, right?

On the spot, Yang Zheng changed the topic and said, "Around Qingshi Castle, what other gang forces are separatist?" When the time comes, we'll pick the nearest place to buy food. ”

Liu Shengyuan took out the map from his sleeve and looked at it for a moment, and said, "I don't know when the owner of the village decided to go out of the city to buy grain?" ”

Yang Zheng thought for a while, "The sooner the better, it's best to send someone tomorrow!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Shengyuan pointed to an icon on the map and said: "Panlong Town is only forty miles away from Qingshi Fort, and that area is the sphere of influence of the Qinglong Gang, and you should be able to buy food there......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yang Meng running in from outside in a hurry.

"Big brother, we just found a secret room in the city, and a woman is being held in the secret room, and she said she wants to see you."

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "A woman? ”
