"Is there really no other way?" the Taoist man muttered to himself, "It is said that there is no endless road, is it so difficult for us to ask for a life?"

Gu Conghu wanted to speak and stopped, but some words were indeed unspeakable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is also a native of Qianfeng, if he wants to ask him to ask to go to the countryside to loot grain, he can't do it, under the drought, no one can have much food, the buried in the ground, hidden in the hole, almost every family's life-saving rations, if you don't risk your life to persecute, who will hand over the grain?

It's just that the drought for two consecutive years has indeed made the brothers under his hands unable to hold on, and Zhu Mao refuses to give another grain of grain.

As far as he knows, in order to buy grain from Huainan, Zhu Mao even sold more than 1,000 war horses that were not much, but they couldn't survive for long.

Zhu Mao encouraged the boss to fight Jeju, but the boss also had the boss's thoughts, and he had already told a few of them that the Taining Army couldn't stay still, and it seemed that even Zhu Mao had to finish playing and beat Jeju, that is, he was conscious of Daliang, so what should he do in the future?

Pitch to Lu?

Wang Shouxin's guy is also a guardian dog, how much edification can he have if he goes to Pinglu?

I heard that Huaiyou's observation made Jiang Feng have a lot of rivers and mountains in his chest, and he is at war with Huaibei, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

Gu Conghu wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, rushed back to the yard, wrung a bucket of water from the well, scooped a scoop with a scoop, and drank it dry in one go. ”

The man with the Taoist bun is Hong Kui, the commander of the Tenth Army of the Taining Left Army.

Judging from the appearance, you can't see anything special about this person at all, he is dressed in a gray Taoist suit, and he doesn't even have armor inside, his slightly thin cheeks look a little old, but in fact, he is not confused, and a few deep wrinkles on his forehead make him look more like an old farmer, only a pair of big hands that are not very coordinated with his arms, which makes people look a little strange.

Hong Kui is indeed a little desperate now.

In fact, since the beginning of last year's drought, Hong Kui has sensed that the situation is not good, the victims from Heshuo continue to cross the river to the south, which has also had a great impact on the hearts of the people in Yanzhou, with the rapid spread of the drought, and soon the situation in Yanzhou has deteriorated, this year's summer grain harvest is not good, no one can stop this disaster, no one wants to sit at home and wait for death, and fleeing south is inevitable.

But there are still many people who are unwilling to leave their homeland, always want to count on God to open their eyes, or hope for some miracle to happen, but where is the miracle in this world?

Seeing that the food was getting less and less day by day, Hong Kui couldn't sit still.

Several strategies have been drawn up, but they are not very suitable, and even if they can grab some grain from the north, how can they bring Taishan over? The Pinglu army may not be able to fight foreign wars, but they will not sit idly by and watch this kind of life-saving food, and they will have to work hard, and their own group of brothers is too few, and they will not be able to stay in Qizhou.

It is a good way to attack Jeju, but the premise is that Jeju is not a big beam, and if he hits Jeju, he almost announces that he has cut off the way to serve Daliang in the future, and others can not think so far, but Hong Kui can't, he still has two thousand brothers under his command, all of whom are children of Yanbei, and he has to think about them.

It's not a good way out to fight with Zhu Mao in the south, Zhu Mao's 10,000 personal soldiers are not easy to deal with, the life-saving food you want to grab, they have to fight hard with you, and their brothers can't consume each other.

Yizhou can't even think about it, it's poorer than here, and there is also a Left Fifth Army Lang Kun guarding there, it's no fun to win Lang Kun, Yizhou is too poor.

If they fight to the death with those water bandits, they will not be able to get any food, and these water bandits will hide their grain in the lake a long time ago, unless they also go into the water again and become one of them, but this is something that Hong Kui is absolutely unwilling to accept.

Sometimes Hong Kui is thinking, how did Zhu Mao survive so many years, and tens of thousands of troops can still be maintained?

Do the math, it should be that God is not thin on Zhu Mao, even if there is a drought for one year, there will always be a passable harvest in the second year, so everyone can still get through, but this time the character surnamed Zhu has run out, and God will no longer bless, three consecutive years of drought, and it is a big drought in the entire north, and Zhu Mao here in Yanzhou has never honestly repaired water conservancy irrigation canals, and he can only ask for more blessings when he encounters this situation.

"If you are hungry for a while, can you solve the hunger of a lifetime?" Hong Kui sighed, it has been half a month since the brothers changed to one meal a day now, just like that, the food is almost gone, as Conghu said, if you don't move your body, you won't even have the strength to move.

"Hehe, boss, we can't take care of much, let's go to Pingyin, the brothers who came back have said that although Pingyin is not rich, but there are a few big families, digging three feet into the ground, and they can always free up two or three months of food, right?" Gu Conghu wiped his mouth indifferently, "You can't starve to death here." ”

Hong Kui's originally somewhat withered face finally had a few waves, cloudy and uncertain, and after a long time, he stroked his palm: "That's the case, prepare over there, there is nothing to prepare anyway, let's set off tonight." ”

"Okay, boss, you finally spoke, I'll go and inform Da Biao and Shiro immediately!" Gu Conghu was overjoyed and was about to leave, but he saw a healthy horse coming on a post road in the distance.

The 10th Army of the Left Army of the Taining Army is an infantry army, and the cavalry is only available to the battalion commander in addition to the scouts, and there are only more than 20 horses in total.

The question is, at such a time, if this ghost place is sealed, what emergency military situation can there be?

Did the Pinglu army cross Mount Tai and fight, or did the Great Liang Army want to patronize the corner of Qianfeng?

Or is it that the giant wild water bandits want to stretch their hands and feet into Yanbei?

Or is it that the festival makes the adults suddenly show mercy and want to send some food to help the Tenth Left Army?

"This little rabbit cub is not sympathetic to horsepower at all, you have to clean up these boys!" Gu Conghu said viciously.

Hong Kui Gujing Bubo's face also floated with a touch of displeasure, the scout team was personally led by him, and he had always had strict rules, how could this gang be profligate?

"Report!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing the scouts who dismounted from the saddle running profusely and running profusely, Hong Kui also felt that something big was about to happen, otherwise how could this guy be in such a hurry?

"Well, Huaiyou observed that Hou Chen, who was engaged in the Fuzhong, and Yuanzhen of the probation army have arrived at the head of the society, saying that they are here to visit the adults. The scout gasped.

"Huaiyou?Reform Army?" Hong Kui and Gu Conghu were both surprised, exchanged glances, and had already arrived at the head of the She, which was only more than 20 miles away from the county seat, and if they came on horseback, they could only arrive in an hour.

Huaiyou observed Yuan Zhen, who was engaged in the probation army, Hong Kui and Gu Conghu knew that Yuan Zhen was the general of Yu Mingzhen's department, although he had never dealt with him, but that Lang Kun and Yu Mingzhen were related by marriage, Hong Kui was naturally no stranger to Yu Mingzhen, but this Huaiyou was a little far away, I heard that Huaiyou had already raised troops to attack Huaibei, could it be that Huaiyou intended to contact the Taining Army to attack Huaibei?

But if you really want to get in touch, you should go to Zhu Mao, you, a soldier and horse, are located in Yanbei, not to mention anything else, even if you are willing to echo Huaiyou, how can you go south?

Zhu Mao is in Yanzhong, and there are still large armies stationed in Luqiao and Rencheng in the south, which is not realistic at all, what is this Huaiyou looking for himself?

But no matter what, Huaiyou's envoy can be regarded as throwing a stone in a pool of stagnant water, even if it can stir up a little wave, it is also a good thing.

The only thing that makes Hong Kui and Gu Conghu a little regretful is that Huaiyou seems to be too far away from Qianfeng, even if he has the heart to surrender, the other party is willing to accept it, but when the grain arrives, it is estimated that it will be good to have two hundred people left of two thousand people.

But wait!

Yuan Zhen is a subordinate of Yu Mingzhen, how can he get together with Huaiyou?

Could it be that this Yu Mingzhen also hooked up with Huaiyou?

Yu Mingzhen also heard about Yizhou Hongkui, which also puzzled him, Yizhou, a place of poor and dead people, Zhu Mao had long abandoned it and put it in the mouth of the Pinglu Army, and the Pinglu Army was unwilling to ask for it, Yu Ming really had to take over Yizhou.

Thoughts are like stars flying lightning, and in an instant Hong Kui has figured out a rough idea, if Yu Mingzhen had already set up a line with Huaiyou, everything would have made sense, although Yizhou is poor, but the position is important, on the one hand, you can look at Qingmi, and on the other hand, you can plot against Yanzhou, you can attack, you can retreat, and now Yuanzhen accompanies Huaiyou to make a move to Qianfeng, obviously there is a plan, thinking of this, Hong Kui's heart is popping and jumping, he can even assert that Lang Kun may have been persuaded a long time ago, and now it is his turn.

Would you refuse? Of course not, why not?

Not to mention that it can save the Left Tenth Army from fire and water, just by virtue of Yu Mingzhen's ability to go down to Yizhou for Huaiyou first, you can see the future Huaiyou's temperament pattern, people will definitely not stop at Yanyunyi, but to go further, the Pinglu Army, and even Heshuo, may already be within Huaiyou's field of vision, and isn't this their own opportunity?

Haven't you been sighing to yourself that the dragon is sleepy and diving? Now may be the best opportunity, thinking of this, Hong Kui only felt that his whole body couldn't help but feel hot, and even had an urge to look up to the sky and howl.

As the king's precursor, this thought is stirring in Hong Kui's heart at this moment, no matter where he hits, Hong Kui is not afraid at this time, Jeju, or Yunzhou, or Qizhou? Even directly with Zhu Mao, he is looking forward to this moment.
