Chapter 294: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
Sun Ce made up his mind.
The twenty good men who had come with him had carefully examined it...
They found that the original items and daily necessities in the camp were still sufficient.
Looks like there should have been a supplement just a few days ago.
It's just that some traces of messiness can still be seen in some subtleties of this camp now.
Obviously, the defenders here must have left in a hurry.
I don't know what's going on, they don't even take the supplies here.
And among the materials in this camp, Sun Ce also found a lot of golden wheat and golden corn.
That's the real good!
With only a team of 50 people, there are more than 1,000 catties of wheat and corn stored here.
It's enough for them to eat for half a month.
And this thousand catties of wheat and corn, put in the outside market, is worth at least a million dollars!
The price in the market, the price of a pound of golden wheat also needs at least a thousand yuan.
The price of ordinary wheat and corn is only five or six yuan at most, and sometimes it is even cheaper.
The price difference between the two has reached more than 200 times.
That's a terrifying number.
And the cost of this million dollars can only be used for half a month's ration for fifty people.
For 5,000 people.
The rations to be consumed in half a month are 100 million dollars!
With such a terrifying number, it is normal for Sun Jian to be unable to withstand it.
Even if he had the help of those powerful families behind him, it was impossible for those powerful families to selflessly send a large sum of money they had accumulated to Sun Jian.
Then let Sun Jian go and buy the grain in Qin Yu's territory.
In the end, those silver coins were all in Qin Yu's hands.
cheapened Qin Yu for no reason, so that the people under Qin Yu's rule had more money in their hands, and the more benefits he could get in it, the more benefits he could get.
It is precisely because of the stimulation of this terrifying silver money.
In the end, Sun Jian and Sun Ce both embarked on the road of wanting to grab the grain.
"Good stuff!"
Sun Ce grabbed the golden corn in the camp, rubbed it with his hand, put it directly in his mouth, and chewed it in a big mouthful.
Dried corn is hard like pebbles.
However, this is nothing to a powerful martial artist like Sun Ce.
I only heard those corn grains being ground and crushed in Sun Ce's mouth.
Wait until he swallows it in one gulp.
Sun Ce's eyes immediately lit up.
"It is worthy of the legendary golden corn, just this little bit, it makes me feel like a meal that is not weaker than ordinary people."
"Raise the fire!"
Sun Ce gave an order, and his twenty personal guards were also full of excitement and expectation on their faces at this time.
Money often unmakes the men who make it.
They all feel that something is not quite right now.
But with these golden wheat and corn in front of me, after tasting the effect with my own mouth.
They had a better idea of what the food meant.
If only they could get it and use it as their daily meal.
I think it won't take half a year, and their strength will directly break through to a realm on the existing basis!
This is definitely not a big deal.
You must know that as their strength improves now, the meals they need every day will also become more and more.
They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten a full meal.
If there is this food.
Plus if you can feed them and provide them with enough blood and qi replenishment.
Won't their strength increase speed after that become faster?
Within half a year, raising their strength to a higher level is definitely not a fool's dream!
With Sun Ce's order.
Immediately, three people walked out.
They raised the torches according to the means they had agreed upon.
The soldiers who stayed three miles away saw the sudden fire next to the camp, and their eyes lit up and their hearts were happy.
The crowd spun around and rushed towards the place where the fire was.
It took less than a stick of incense for them to come to the light of the fire.
At this time, Sun Ce had already been waiting here.
He looked at the crowd who looked like the thieves.
Then with a wave of his hand, he was the first to jump out of the firelight towards the darkness of Xiangxiang County.
The five thousand tigers and wolves are like ghosts in the night, and they are extremely fast.
It's just that there are still more than 20 miles of farmland in Xiangxiang County.
There are also a few small villages and towns in the surrounding area.
But the size of these villages is too small.
The land that has been reclaimed itself is not enough.
Unless they are killed one by one.
Otherwise, if you go rashly, I am afraid that you will be startled, which is really not cost-effective.
Sun Ce and the others ran wildly.
It only took half an hour to arrive at the twenty-mile road.
With this kind of speed of running, even the elite soldiers he had been training for half a year were already a little out of breath at this time.
If we have to go through another battle, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will directly drop by more than 30%.
Fortunately, the current situation does not require them to fight against people.
All they need to do now is harvest the grain.
In the vast fields of farmland, the wheat has turned golden.
Take advantage of the night.
They looked at these full ears of wheat in front of them, and their hearts were really happy.
According to the strategy that Sun Ce had already formulated for them before he came.
Immediately the crowd began to scatter in all directions.
In a group of several people, they frantically harvested the wheat in the field.
Although these people are all elite soldiers.
But until then, they were definitely good hands in the field.
At this time, when the wheat is harvested, the efficiency is naturally needless to say.
Especially when you think about it, this pound is equivalent to a thousand dollars.
For every pound you harvest, when you go back, you will immediately get a bounty of five yuan, and the more you harvest, the more you will get the reward.
With such an incentive, how can they not work hard?
I saw these martial artists, all of whom were full of blood and qi, bending over.
Reaching out and grabbing in the field is a handful of wheat.
Then he cut it with the knife he carried with him and put it aside.
After a while, you just need to pick up the wheat and you will be able to receive it together.
When you get to the place where you turn it in, you cut off the straws.
Take only the ears of wheat and go back.
In this way, although it is inevitable that there will be some omissions and waste.
But compared to those that have already succeeded.
This omission and waste is really nothing.
Looking at the scene of these soldiers frantically harvesting wheat in front of him, even Sun Ce, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
By this time, he hadn't even noticed that Huang Zhong's men and horses had arrived nearby.
I don't think there should be much of a problem.
And according to their previous plan.
In the second half of the night, Zu Mao, the right-hand man beside Sun Jian, would lead those ordinary soldiers to also pretend to be thieves.
The difference was that they were holding carts that were used to transport grain.
Their purpose is to deliver food.
Transported all the income of Sun Ce and others from their overnight work back to Changsha County.
As long as they arrived in Changsha County, they could immediately disperse.
At that time, Sun Jian would naturally lead his army to guard the border of Changsha County.
Even if Huang Zhong didn't know him, he really dared to chase after him.
At that time, as long as Sun Jian comes forward, Huang Zhong will also touch his nose!
As soon as I think of this.
Sun Ce couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Refreshing.
It's so cool!
This time, they will definitely be able to get enough food to feed the army of 5,000 for half a year.
And the food was only used for the most basic purposes.
You know, this golden wheat is different from ordinary wheat.
It's not just about satiety.
It is said to have some special effects.
Since it all flowed out of Qin Yu's hands.
It didn't have the same powerful effect as the divine water.
If there is one.
It's too precious.
For those of the most powerful families.
This kind of artifact that can make their juniors improve their potential and ability, no matter how expensive it is, they will not blink an eye.
You don't see what kind of price the divine water is now.
This kind of price is all speculated by these wealthy families.
Although the price of this divine water is already ridiculously expensive.
You see, who said what now?
It's not how much to buy and how much to buy?
Sun Ce knew it very well in his heart.
That is, when these families support their fathers, they will think about it for a long time.
If only they could harvest so much golden wheat at once and bring it back.
Not to mention selling it to those families at a reduced price.
Even if it is a parity, it is sold to those families for a thousand dollars a catty.
He could imagine that those wealthy families would definitely buy all the wheat without hesitation.
Wait until that time.
They only need to use the money they earn to buy ordinary food.
Ordinary food is not incapable of increasing qi and blood.
As long as the quantity is sufficient.
At that time, Sun Ce only needs to come and be full.
Give these 5,000 elites all the food in place every day.
After half a year, I am afraid that the silver money needed will not consume one-third of the money earned.
Anyway.
It's a great deal.
And you know, it's just a night's harvest!
And it's just farmland around a county seat in Xiangxiang County.
What if the scale is placed in the whole of Lingling County?
Even if there is not much land suitable for cultivation in Lingling County, most of the land is very difficult to cultivate.
But if there really is such a benefit.
Replaced by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce will not hesitate to order people to go crazy to reclaim farmland.
No matter what the cost, he can accept it.
As long as he can get more land, it means that he will receive more money in his hand at that time.
This kind of thing is just too profitable.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce began to envy and hate Qin Yu who he had never met again.
"Why is this heaven so favored by one person?"
"Not only does he have divine water, but he also has these golden wheat in his hands, if I have these two things, let alone just a county guard, it will not be too difficult to leave a name in history in the future!"
Sun Ce couldn't hide the heat in his heart.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
By this time, it was four o'clock in the morning.
It was the darkest time before dawn.
It is also the most comfortable time to sleep in this vast summer.
However, at this time, Sun Ce was not sleepy.
He was so excited that he didn't want to sleep at all.
By this time.
The 5,000 soldiers under his command conservatively estimated that they should have harvested about 20,000 acres of farmland.
Further on, the larger the scope, the more time and effort it takes, and the more likely it is to be discovered.
Now Sun Ce is still waiting for Zu Mao.
Only when Zu Mao came with his army and really began to transport these wheat out of the country was when he could really put his mind at ease.
At that time, he will be able to give orders for his men to harvest wheat as far as possible.
Even if it was really discovered by Huang Zhong's men, it didn't matter.
He expected that even if Huang Zhong reacted quickly, when he didn't know the situation, the best choice he could make was to defend the city.
Wait until dawn to see the situation outside clearly, and then decide whether to send troops.
This in itself is common sense among soldiers.
If it were Sun Ce himself, he would definitely choose this way.
So.
Really waited until dawn, Huang Zhong wanted to lead the army to rush out again, and the daylily was cold at that time.
At most, Sun Ce only had to confront Huang Zhong for a while.
Then Shi Shiran can withdraw.
He has these 5,000 people behind his back, not to mention just confronting Huang Zhong.
Even if he wanted him to rush into battle with Huang Zhong, he didn't dare.
Young people are fearless.
Sun Ce expected that even if Huang Zhong had golden wheat and golden corn in hand.
How much combat power can those soldiers under him have?
The ability of a warrior is not something that can be eaten just by eating.
That's by killing life and death.
For such a thing as military training, Sun Ce obviously has absolute confidence.
Correspondingly.
For Huang Zhong, in Sun Ce's eyes, he seemed to be a little unimpressed.
Fortunately, Zu Mao did not have any accidents.
Just as dawn was approaching, he finally led the crowd to Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce saw Zu Mao, he naturally couldn't hide his excitement in his heart.
He immediately explained, and Zu Mao also knew that now was definitely not the time to say anything polite.
So he took the order and left.
Began to load the wheat that had been harvested into trucks.
Large sheaves of wheat were delivered.
Then all the stalks were cut off, leaving only the ears of wheat.
Zu Mao watched the car load smoothly.
Only then did he finally have time to stand with Sun Ce.
"It seems that this time Bo Fu's strategy made that Huang Zhong not react at all."
"By the time Huang Zhong reacts, we should have returned to Changsha County with these wheat."
Zu Mao's face was full of smiles.
He looked at so many heavy ears of wheat in the car, which was already very popular with Sun Jian, and he naturally knew what these ears of wheat represented.
Sun Ce was praised by Zu Mao like this, and he was naturally a little proud in his heart.
He said with a smile: "It's just a pity that there is no better place to cultivate in this Xiangxiang County." ”
"If it is a more suitable place, I am afraid that we can get more than that."
"And our current strength is still a little too weak."
"If I can get a team of five hundred people, all of them are True Qi Martial Artists."
"Then I won't have to come back and do such sneaky things at night."
Zu Mao nodded and said, "Indeed, if there is an elite of five hundred people, there is really no need for us to do such a thing. ”
Sun Ce did smile when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid Da Rong is thinking about it." ”
"I just don't need to come and harvest their wheat anymore, but this yellow turban wheat is a rare good."
"How can such a good thing be in his hands?"
"This kind of thing is naturally left to ourselves, it's best!"
"I've heard that there is a practice in Lingling County that gathers all the wheat."
"At that time, I only need to wait until they gather these wheat, and then personally lead five hundred warriors to destroy this Xiangxiang city for him."
"In this way, wouldn't all the golden wheat in the entire Xiangxiang County be in my hands?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to let them go and plant the land well, and in the end, all the harvest will be ours?"
When Zu Mao heard this, he looked at Sun Ce in surprise.
He didn't expect for a while that Sun Ce would have such a truly bandit-like idea in his heart.
But that's a good idea.
As long as he thought of such a result, Zu Mao's heart inevitably showed an irrepressible throbbing.
Sun Ce's idea is absolutely right, and it is highly feasible.
The reason why he named a team of only five hundred True Qi martial artists.
The fundamental reason is that he wants to disguise himself as much as possible from those mountain thieves.
At that time, if they really knock down this Xiangxiang City, it will naturally be the best.
It doesn't matter if you can't knock Xiangxiang City down.
No one would know that this kind of thing was done by their people from Changsha County.
Even all the powerful families in the world know that this kind of thing is done by their Changsha County.
So what?
The Maison only cares about profits.
As long as they are provided with enough golden wheat, they will certainly not talk more nonsense.
Moreover, suppressing Qin Yu's development itself was something they had instructed Sun Jian to do before.
What Sun Ce is doing now is doing what they want.
Not only will they not be able to embarrass Sun Ce at that time, but they will give him more opportunities to climb up.
As soon as Zu Mao thought of this, he immediately felt that he was following Sun Jian, maybe it was really a decision that could make him go to the peak of his life.
Meanwhile.
If Sun Ce has the ambition to attack Xiangxiang City now.
Maybe he will be able to get his wish today and directly attack the Xiangxiang City that he built on weekdays like an iron bucket.
Today, there are only a few hundred defenders left in the city of Xiangxiang.
All the remaining sergeants had already left Xiangxiang City early under Huang Zhong's order.
Some of them, led by Wang Ergou, after making a circle, converged with the defenders who had withdrawn from the camp at the county border, and were secretly stationed in the mountains and forests ten miles away from the pass.
The other group, led by Huang Zhong, stood near a river embankment ten miles away from the field that Sun Ce was still leading his army to harvest.
Wait for the dawn.
