Chapter 541: Snatching Food
No way! Your own soldiers are responsible for themselves!
I can only rob the rural people! He secretly made up his mind.
Han Zheng said to the soldiers: "There is no way, we can only go and grab the people's food now, everyone take a rest, and we will set off when we get up." ”
On the outskirts of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, there are many villages, and as long as there are people in the villages, there must be food.
When the words fell, Han Zheng took the lead and went to the camp tent to rest, looking for someone at the bottom of the mountain in the middle of the night all night, and putting out fires in the second half of the night.
......
Garrison outside Yanzhou City.
At this time, Zhu Di and Tai Ninghou were looking at the sand table in the camp tent.
It's been a long time since Zhu Zhanji left, and Zhu Di can't help but wonder, why didn't Zhu Zhanji come back when he took people to transport grain? Could it be that something went wrong along the way?
Zhu Di looked at Tai Ning Hou and asked, "Tai Ning Hou, how long has His Royal Highness the Taisun been gone?" ”
Tai Ninghou replied: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the grandson has been gone for more than a month. ”
Zhu Di was puzzled: "Yes, it's been more than a month, why haven't you come back yet?" ”
Afraid that Zhu Zhanji would be in danger on the road again, Zhu Di called his soldiers and ordered: "You hurry up and go to Xuzhou, and see if you can meet His Royal Highness Taisun on the way." ”
The soldier replied: "Yes, the emperor, I will go here." ”
As soon as the soldier got on his horse and was about to leave the barracks, he saw Zhu Zhanji and them at the gate of the barracks.
The soldier hurriedly dismounted, half-knelt on the ground, and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Your Royal Highness, you are back, the emperor was just about to send me to look for you, you are back, I will go to report to the emperor." ”
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "No need to report, I will go to the imperial grandfather myself." ”
His Royal Highness Taisun has returned, and the mission sent by the emperor can be ignored, and this soldier retreated when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words.
Zhu Zhanji came to the tent, walked to Zhu Di's side, leaned over and said, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”
Tai Ninghou heard the voice, looked at Zhu Zhanji and saluted, knowing that the two grandchildren must have a lot to say at this time, so they withdrew.
After Taining waited out, Zhu Di said, "Why did you come back, has the grain and grass been transported?" Is it still too peaceful along the way? ”
Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Di apologetically: "Zhanji was entrusted by the emperor's grandfather, and all the grain and grass could not be successfully transported back. ”
Zhu Di said with a serious face: "What's the matter? ”
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "On the way, I encountered Han Zheng's ambush and surrounded, it is estimated that it was set by the King of Han." ”
Zhu Di was puzzled: "The night you just left, the King of Han attacked our military camp at night, but we beat him back, he suffered heavy injuries and should not send troops to ambush you." ”
"King Han probably doesn't know about this, I'm afraid that Han Zheng sent troops to ambush you privately."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said, "This damn Han Zheng!" ”
Zhu Di continued to ask: "How did you break out of the encirclement when you were surrounded?" ”
"We suffered heavy injuries, hundreds of people worked together to break the siege, and finally half of them escaped, and then they were chased and killed by Han Zheng's soldiers, and they were forced to the edge of the cliff, I gambled and jumped down the cliff with people, and there were more than a dozen survivors."
"After we went up from the cliff, the grain and grass had been robbed by Han Zheng, and half of the transportation back was snatched back by me in Han Zheng's military camp."
Zhu Di felt a little scary just by listening to it, not to mention that Zhu Zhan experienced it personally.
Zhu Di frowned, and said in a cold voice: "I won't let this Han Zheng let him go!" ”
With a look of concern on his face, he said to Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, it's okay if you're fine, it's good if you can come back." ”
After speaking, he put his arm around Zhu Zhanji's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go out and see the grain you brought back." ”
Then the two walked out together.
The grain and grass have been transported into the grain depot, and the two came to the grain depot, Zhu Zhanji said: "These are the grain and grass that I brought people back, and the remaining grain and grass are not cheap Han Zheng, I directly burned his grain depot with a fire." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji's face still had a little evil smile on his face.
Then Zhu Zhanji asked: "Grandpa, only this grain and grass is definitely not enough for the 200,000 army to eat, what should I do with the rest?" ”
Zhu Di said: "No way, we have to continue to transport grain, otherwise I will send someone to Xuzhou and ask Xie Jin to bring someone to transport the grain." ”
Zhu Zhanji arched his hand and said, "It's still not so troublesome for the teacher, I'll go again." ”
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Okay, but then Han Zheng must still be in the suburbs, we have to find a way to destroy Han Zheng first in order to make the road of grain transportation smooth." ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded, expressing his agreement with what the imperial grandfather said.
Then Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di returned to the camp together to discuss the battle plan.
......
Han Jung Barracks.
After Han Zheng rested for a while, he immediately blew the whistle and gathered the soldiers.
"You all know, our grain depot was burned down by Zhu Zhanji's people, and now we have no grain and grass to eat, and we can't raise grain and grass in a short time, so we can only grab it at the moment!"
"What are those people for our own sake? If we hadn't gone to war to fight, they wouldn't have such a life where they could afford to eat! So now that we have no food to eat, it's time for them to repay us! ”
"If there is no food and grass, kill it directly! Did the brothers hear that? ”
The crowd shouted in unison, "Hear me clearly! For our own! Neither we nor our horses can be starved to death! ”
After speaking, Han Zheng waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
A group of people came to the village at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou in a menacing manner.
In the village, the peasants were working hard in the fields under the scorching sun, and everyone was sweating and raining down on their heads, and sweat soaked their clothes.
An old man stopped, supported the hoe with his hand, and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and a little girl saw this, and quickly brought a wet towel.
The little girl said obediently: "Grandpa, give it to you, wipe your sweat." ”
The old man smiled at the little girl and said, "Thank you for our Nannan, it's really good, this year's grandfather's rice in the field is growing well, and Nannan can finally eat a bite of fragrant rice." ”
The little girl also happily circled in place, clapping her hands and laughing: "Hahaha, grandpa, we finally have rice to eat!" ”
The old man looked at the smile on the little girl's face, and he was also very happy.
The weather was hot, and under the scorching sun, the old man said to the little girl with a concerned face: "Nannan, this day is too hot, you go home first, it's too sunny here, and when grandpa finishes plowing this little land, he will go home to cook for Nannan." ”
