181. Confrontation on the mountain road

Chu He communicated with Gan Tian and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He took it for granted that the earth was put into this world, and he felt that the world was just bigger than the earth.

Although this sea route, three or four thousand miles, is actually not too far away, after all, from here to Qinzhou, there are also two thousand miles away, but he forgot for a moment that there are fierce beasts and fish in the river, how can there be no more terrible beasts in the sea.

Moreover, it is much more difficult to buy grain here than in ancient times on earth, and it is often a transportation of thousands of miles, with strong bandits everywhere, as well as Dashu checkpoints and cities, etc., to transport tens of millions of stones of rice and grain, it is by no means a simple matter.

The transportation capacity here is low, even if the strength of the oxen and horses pulling the cart is amazing, an ox cart can transport up to 18,000 catties of materials, that is to say, an ox cart can probably transport ten stone of rice grain.

100,000 stone of rice grain requires 10,000 ox carts and tens of thousands of manpower, which is by no means possible for private forces, and only the government can organize such a transportation team.

It is no wonder that the wealthy families of the Shi clan who fled will sell the rice and grain they have hoarded in Datong County to Qinghe Village at a low price, completely because they can't transport it away!

The specific affairs of rice and grain, Chu He was handed over to his father to deal with, and he really didn't know how the 50,000 rice grain given to Datong County was transported.

Moreover, even if the Chu River can really transport 100,000 meters of grain by sea ship, the people here eat a lot, and if one person eats three catties a day, it is 1,000 catties a year, which is equivalent to ten stones.

100,000 stone rice grain, even if it is saved, not counting the relatively small consumption of children and the elderly, it is not enough to eat in today's Changding Township for four months!

Sure enough, here, if you want to reserve grain to dominate the world, it is unrealistic to buy it, and you still have to plant it in your own fields.

It is no wonder that in the past, it was difficult for the ancient rogues of the earth to achieve great things, and the daily consumption of the army of hundreds of thousands of displaced people was a huge number, and there was no stable base area, no stable source of food, and they could only rob one place and another, and it was impossible for such an army to unite people's hearts.

If Chu River wants to make a difference, it still has to increase its efforts to open up wasteland and grow more grain.

Fortunately, Datong County, although the land is barren, but it is vast enough, and there is no shortage of water, Changding Township alone is almost 2,000 square kilometers, and the entire Datong County is more than 10,000 square kilometers.

The most important thing now is to hoard the rice needed by 100,000 people for a year before the wasteland is cleared for rice and grain.

Chu He doesn't know if there are high-yielding crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes in this world.

In the history of the earth, this was only introduced to China in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and it seems to be different here, and Chu He has not seen people from Western countries.

Maybe you can also find potatoes and sweet potatoes here, Chu He thought in his heart that he should pay attention to the news of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and take some time to consult the classics about plants here in the future, or draw the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes and ask others.

The leaders of Qinghe Village held another meeting.

Chu Zhenhai, Chu Wen, Chu Quan, etc., who were old and serious, did not agree to provoke the Yellow Turban Army at this time, after all, the strength of Qinghe Village was constantly expanding and improving, and starting a war with the Yellow Turban Army at this time was likely to affect the development and deployment of Qinghe Village.

According to Chu Zhenhai's meaning, even if he can't go as far as Baozhou to buy rice and grain, he will try his best to send people to secretly contact the rich landlords in other counties and counties in Qinzhou, and maybe he can buy a lot of grain.

No matter how ferocious the Yellow Turban Army is, it will not dare to really declare an all-out war on the most powerful warrior forces in the world, and there must still be many noble families in the area occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, as long as there is enough silver, it may not be impossible to buy food.

Those who supported the war against the Yellow Turban Army were Chu Wu and Jiang Wei, the generals of Qianyuanwei.

In Jiang Wei's words, an army that has not been tested by war, no matter how well it is trained, is still a rabble.

Qianyuanwei's treatment is good enough, and it is time to use their blood and sweat to prove that Chu He's money, silver, rice and grain are not in vain.

Most of the newcomers who are now joining the Abyss Guard are coming for the treatment of the Abyss Guard.

When they know that joining the Qianyuanwei is really to give Chu He's life, even pay the price of their lives, and are willing to stay in Qianyuanwei, they can truly become the loyal guards of Chu River and the guardian army of Changding Township.

The two groups of people who support the war and those who do not support the war have no scruples about their status at this time, this is a major matter related to the survival of Changding Township and Qianyuan Health, one is not good, it may bury the current good situation, the two sides are arguing, and each other has not backed down.

Chu He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to make preparations with both hands, anyway, it was not necessary to attack Fenglai County immediately.

Therefore, on the one hand, he decided to secretly send people to contact the landlords of the Shi clan in the nearby counties, and on the other hand, he asked Jiang Wei and Chu Wu to strictly train Qianyuanwei, and when the autumn harvest came, he would give the Yellow Turban Army a hard blow!

In addition, it is necessary to prepare the convoy for transporting grain in advance, and it will take some time to collect cattle and horses and build ox carts.

After all, if Fenglai County is really captured, it is not easy to transport the rice grain of tens of millions of stones back to Changding Township.

What's more, in the process of transportation, the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army must have arrived, and the battle cannot be avoided, without sufficient preparation, I am afraid that I will not be able to deliver rice and grain in a few days.

Chu He was the head of Qinghe Village, and the final word was reached, although the other people had some different opinions, they could only strictly implement Chu He's orders and use their best to prepare for this battle.

After Gan Tian received Chu He's reply, he immediately left Qinghe Village.

Within three days, Chu He was informed that Gan Tian had brought hundreds of strong men and more than 200 ox carts and carriages to the edge of Changding Township, where he was confronting more than 1,000 of Chu Heizi's men.

Chu He patted his head, and really forgot to tell Chu Heizi about it.

Chu Heizi, who didn't know the situation, thought that the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain planned to enter Changding Township and plunder, and they would definitely not easily let Gan Tian and others enter the range of Changding Township.

However, since he decided to join forces with Shuangfeng Mountain, Chu He still had to go to see the success of the bandits in Shuangfeng Mountain in person.

After all, his eyesight is different now than before, and the bandits of the Twin Peaks Mountain may not be as strong as they have seen before, if the quality and strength of the bandits of the Twin Peaks Mountain are insufficient, Chu He will definitely not let the Twin Peaks Mountain drag down the Qianyuanwei, so it is better to act alone.

Subsequently, Chu He took more than a dozen elite dive guards, rode on big horses, and quickly headed towards the mountain occupied by Chu Heizi.

The grain here in Changding Township is twice a year, and after half a year, the grain in the field is about to be harvested.

Because of unified farming, it seems that the harvest is not bad, and according to Chu Zhenhai's judgment, there can be two or three stones per mu.

Even the newly cultivated fields are sparsely grown, and there are a lot of rice growing sparsely, and the yield of one acre of land is about one stone, and the output of tens of thousands of acres of new land is not a small number.

In order to prevent the outsiders from harming the food in the fields, Chu Quan also specially organized the homeless people to be young and strong, and hundreds of squads constantly patrolled the fields, and even many reserves of the Qianyuan Guard also patrolled everywhere with soldiers.

During this period, the number of displaced people who were arrested and even slaughtered was not less than 5,000.

Rice grain is the key, and Chu He can't care about any mercy, and anyone who dares to violate the Changding Township Regulations and harvest and loot grain without permission will be killed mercilessly.

In extraordinary times, it is necessary to implement thunder measures, otherwise once there is a disaster, the tens of thousands of displaced people in Changding Township will be a time bomb, and once it explodes, I am afraid it will bring boundless disasters to Changding Township.

Even if Qianyuanwei can kill it, but the number is too small, and the refugees who are in turmoil under the suppression of the Chu River will not have to harvest rice and grain, and they will be eaten by the locust-like homeless people as long as possible.

Fortunately, Chu He went all the way and did not find any bad signs, and the homeless food protection team formed by his father was even more ferocious and ruthless than Qianyuanwei.

They all know that the production in the fields is the foundation of their survival, and once they find out that the outsiders are trying to destroy the rice and grain, they often rush over with red eyes and stick and beat the displaced people who have looted the grain to death.

Chu He set off with Qianyuanwei, and on the way, he saw two groups of about fifty or sixty people of foreign refugees, and he didn't know how to enter Changding Township.

Chu He can only harden his heart and not see it.

Ci is not in charge of the army, if he opens this opening, everyone else will do the same, it will only lead to more casualties and tragedy.

Chu He can't take in more displaced people now, so he can only wait for the grain to be collected and get enough rice from Fenglai County before he can further accept the displaced people.

The place where Chu Yuan and Chu Heizi are entrenched is Wolf Head Mountain, although it is not as dangerous as Shuangfeng Mountain, but it is also thousands of meters high, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, like a nail nailed to the gateway of Changding Township, to enter Changding Township from the northeast, it is inevitable to pass through Wolf Head Mountain.

This wolf's head mountain was also entrenched by strong bandits in the past, but there was a lack of strong people to guard it.

Jiang Wei led more than a dozen elite Qianyuan Guards who had been trained into a heavy golden bell jar, braved the rain of rolling stones and arrows, and directly killed the mountain, easily destroying this gang of bandits who plagued the people of Changding Township, and became the base camp of Chu Heizi and Chu Yuan.

When Chu He arrived at the Wolf Head Mountain, he saw the dust flying from a distance, and when he looked over, he found that under the Wolf Head Mountain, the mountain road between the two mountains was only ten meters wide, which was already densely packed with people, all of whom were holding soldiers and confronting each other with solemn expressions.

This mountain road, in fact, is only two or three hundred meters long, and there are steep cliffs on both sides, and if there are 1,800 people guarding one end, it will be difficult to use even if there are thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side.

On the side of Wolf Head Mountain, it was Chu Yuan and Chu Heizi who were the leaders.

Now that they have all been promoted to the Bone Strengthening Realm, the golden bell jar has also been practiced to the second level, wearing iron armor inlaid with steel plates, holding a Mo knife, it does look majestic, and there is a lot of momentum that is not open.

On the other side of the mountain road, there are Gan Tian and a group of Twin Peaks Mountain leaders and elite bandits.

Their faces all looked a little angry, Gan Tian had already said that it was Chu He who agreed to let them come to transport grain, but Chu Yuan and Chu Heizi didn't let them go over, but just said that they sent someone to spread the word to Chu He, so that the convoy of Shuangfeng Mountain was waiting here.

Not angry, but under such circumstances, Chu He was willing to take out 3,000 stone of rice grain to help Shuangfeng Mountain, and the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain did not dare to use force easily.

Moreover, the bandits under the command of Chu Yuan and Chu Heizi also made Gan Tian and the others secretly awe-inspiring in their hearts.

They themselves are bandits, and they can naturally see the strength of the bandits in Wolf Head Mountain, which can hardly be described by bandits, and even some of the elite troops of Dashu are not comparable to them.

Gan Tian asked himself that the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain were already disciplined, unlike other bandits who were a rabble, but compared with the bandits of Wolf Head Mountain, the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain were much worse.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing the goods, only to see the bandits of the wolf's head mountain, thousands of people gathered at the other end of the mountain road, and they were silent, the body was straight, the arrangement was neat, the momentum was unified, the blood was soaring, and it was obviously extremely rigorously trained.

The three squares in front of them made the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain secretly frightened, only to see a hundred sword and shield hands divided into three rows, neatly blocking the ten-meter-wide mountain road, looking at their breath, it was clear that they were all Qi Induction Realm martial artists.

Moreover, these sword and shield hands, the front ones are all holding steel shields, holding giant knives with cold light, and the back ones are also skin and wooden shields, and the iron blades in their hands are sharp, even Gan Tian himself, and he doesn't dare to say that he can easily break through the defense line of this hundred elite sword and shield hands.

In addition to the sword and shield bearers, there are fifty pikemen in leather armor and armed with wooden handles and steel blades, who are also fierce guys who have practiced martial arts.

After that, thirty archers with steel bows, all with thick arms, looking at the steel bows in their hands, I am afraid that a single volley can take the lives of dozens of bandits.

With such a terrible strong bow and such a narrow mountain road, killing two birds with one stone is never a problem.

Shuangfeng Mountain wants to keep heavyweights in charge, and with Gan Tian, the big boss, who came to transport food, it was Xu Jing, the red-eyed eagle of the three masters who had fought with the Chu River.

When he saw the lineup of the bandits in Wolfshou Mountain, he also gasped, and whispered in Gan Tian's ear: "Big boss, are they the Qianyuanwei under the command of Chu He? When we came to test it, although the bandits in Wolfshou Mountain were also strong, they were by no means as powerful as they were seen now. ”

"Could it be that Chu He moved all the family of Qianyuanwei to Wolf's Head Mountain, and he wants to give us a dismount?"

Gan Tian shook his head: "No! I saw the Qianyuan Guard in Qinghe Village before, and they are much more powerful than these people in Wolf Head Mountain. It is estimated that what you encountered before were just ordinary mountain bandits from Wolf's Head Mountain, and the real elites were trained in the mountains. ”

As he spoke, he snorted coldly: "You already knew that I owed Chu He a favor, and I actually sent someone over, fortunately there was no major conflict, otherwise I would be embarrassed to ask for food!"

Xu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "We can't help it." There is no food on the mountain, and there is no food to find in Fenglai County, so I can only go here to inquire about the situation. Who knew that these bandits in Wolf Head Mountain were secretly arranged by Chu He. ”

"Later, we found out the situation, so we didn't continue to attack Wolf Head Mountain. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "Big Master, how did you say that this Chu River could form such a powerful Qianyuan Guard? More than a year ago, Qinghe Village was only a few hundred young people. ”

Gan Tian smiled bitterly: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"However, my uncle once told me that this Chu River is by no means a thing in the pool, and warned me not to easily exonerate it. ”

Xu Jing smiled: "If Qianyuanwei is really as powerful as the big boss said, then there will be more hope for capturing Fenglai County!"

"Hey, Fenglai County, I'm afraid that there won't be a million meters of grain, even if we pull 108,000 up the mountain, we won't have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years!"
