On the sixth day of the first month of March, Dan, Wenshui ferry outside Boxian County, Taishan County.

The ferry port here in Bo County is the largest good ferry on the Wenshui River. The water here is wide, and it is suitable for traveling to and from the merchant and the people. Once you cross the ferry port here in Bo County, the Wenshui narrows here, passes through the shallows for several miles, and then diverges into two tributaries, the Yingwen Water and the Muwen Water. What flows to Win County in the east is Win Wen water, and what continues to flow to Mu County in the south is naturally Mu Wen water.

At this time, the Wenshui River, which is several miles wide, was full of boats, and countless dingfu drove rafts to carry the baggage on the boats to the shore. There was already a mountain of baggage on the shore, and from time to time there were military officials who counted the baggage and prepared to transport it to a large camp two miles away.

This camp was the army of the Jibei country, they arrived outside Bo County in the middle of the night, and then camped on this fertile field overnight.

When the villagers of the nearby Lihu woke up in the morning, they saw a large camp rising from the ground. They knew that the soldiers were coming, and those who were experienced at that time wanted to hide with their daughters-in-law and children, but it was too late.

The wolf-like warriors of the Jibei Kingdom have flocked to these settlements and villages scattered on the banks of Wenshui, and the visible strong men have been levied to practice in the camp of the Jibei Kingdom. As for what to do? Some are used for them.

Now you can carry baggage, you can win food to go to the front line in wartime, and even when you want to attack the city, you can also let them rush first and consume a wave of enemy defense equipment.

At this time, a settlement by the Wenshui River was being looted by a group of Jibei *** soldiers, and there were cries and begs for mercy everywhere.

When the nearby township officials heard the news, they saw that these old revolutionaries were in chaos, and some young villagers stepped forward to stop them, but they were directly knocked to the ground by the Jibei soldiers, and they didn't explain, and directly threw down a book, with their toes high.

The dazed townsman bent down to pick it up, only to see that there was not a single word on it, only a seal of the Jibei Kingdom in the lower left corner. Seeing this, these townsmen were silent, knowing that these soldiers were not routed soldiers but soldiers from Jibei next door.

Therefore, they could only watch these tigers and wolves of Jibei country requisition and distribute all the strong men, pigs, sheep, and cunsu of Lishe, and even the door panels of some decent people were removed by these people.

The original beaten village official, who had returned to his colleagues aggrievedly, was not convinced, and said to his fellow countryman:

"Why are they, the soldiers of Jibei Kingdom, robbing us of things in Bo County?"

The other countryman hurriedly waved his hand and signaled not to say anything.

But one of the soldiers of the Jibei Kingdom who was obviously sharp in his ears heard it, and with a cold snort, the big horse golden knife came up, looked at these cowardly villagers, and sneered:

"Why? Make it clear to you that Naikon is fighting for you. It is because you Boxian people are wasteful and can't stop the thieves that our brothers have come to your hellish place. How? Brethren are bleeding on the front lines, and if you take something, you will die or live? unfaithful and unrighteous things."

After speaking, the soldier snatched the wordless book from the hands of the villagers, picked up a pen and wrote in the blank space:

"I hereby order to raise 500 stone of grain and 300 stone of grass to be delivered to the camp of the Jibei State for the conquest of the country, and the deadline is March 11."

After writing it, he smashed the book on the chest of the villager again, and said coldly: ....

"Don't be misguided, when the time comes, our brothers will not be so polite."

After speaking, he took the soldiers of the northern country of Zhongji to carry the strong men and harvests strung together, and left.

It was only then that the townsmen opened their books to see what the man had written, but as soon as he saw them, he cried on the ground:

"Evil, these Qiu Ba are trying to force us to death."

Similar scenes are constantly staged in the Lishe on the east bank of Wenshui, and the four words of the soldiers of Jibei who urge grain are vividly interpreted.

In fact, these grain urgers in Jibei were still restrained. This plot of land along the east bank of Wenshui in Bo County is the most plastering place in the whole territory, and the natural countryside is densely packed. These townsmen and Jibei soldiers still have bargaining power, if they are ordinary people, dare to stop them from urging grain and levying Ding, which is the end of a slap?

It is precisely because there is a lord in these places that those village officials have taken the nerve to stop it. For example, why did the soldiers of the northern country come to this house

, those townsmen came? It's because the biggest townsman in this area is the one who impulsively stepped forward. How can you not do your best to protect your own property? If the soldiers of Jibei robbed other Qianshou who had no heels, you think these townsmen would come out.

But then again, those Qiantou let the soldiers of Jibei rob it, and they didn't rob it. What else is there for the poor man to rob except that rotten life? On the contrary, these fat pig townsmen who are not high-ranking are just right to start.

The soldiers of Jibei returned to the country with great satisfaction, but no one expected that on the way back to the camp, they were ambushed by the Taishan soldiers.

A squad without a banner and with excellent fighting equipment rushed out of the forest to ambush those unprepared Jibei soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. They shouted Taishan dialect, so that these forcibly recruited Dingfu from Bo County lay on the ground, so as not to be injured by mistake. In just a moment, this Jibei country team that was still looking forward to self-pride in Lishe was killed.

Then, after distributing some of the grain to the dingfu, the team drove the ox cart to load the rest of the capture into the cart and headed east, leaving behind the grateful dingfu.

One of these ladies looked at the distant convoy and muttered:

"Those are ours too."

Then he was covered by his companions, and one of them said:

"Just save your life. Still thinking about those who don't? Besides, are those yours, aren't they the Sun family? Aren't we in our hands?"

After speaking, he also showed him the grain bag he was carrying. As soon as he was reminded by this person, the man thought for a moment, yes, and smiled happily.

An old man in the crowd sighed:

"Don't think about it so much, people gave us these because we lived. That's probably enough food for us to flee for a while. The township can't go back, at least not until this battle is over. Otherwise, sooner or later, I will be captured by those soldiers of the Jibei Kingdom, and when the time comes, I will be dead to fill the ravine."

The old man was obviously a prestigious person in this group of Ding, and he had also experienced things, so as soon as he said it, everyone agreed. Someone asked:

"Where can we go? This area is all plains, and there is no one to hide."

The old man looked at the Wenshui that was slowly passing by, and said leisurely:

"Let's cross Wenshui and go to the mountains to hide." ….

----------------------------

About two hours later, in the rear camp of the conquest army of Jibei Kingdom, a general with a beard and a martial artist patted the desk and was furious:

"What, the squad that went out to collect food came back with more than twenty people? You must know that four hundred old soldiers went out, and a whole department of people went to collect grain. And now you're telling me that only twenty people have returned? Tell me, how did you get this grain? Not to mention the ambush, even if there are 400 pigs, everyone will have to catch them for a long time when they are ambushed."

This angry general is none other than Zhou Feng, the captain of Jibei Kingdom. There are 4,000 soldiers in the Jibei army, including three captains, Zhang Rong, the former military captain, Li Chen, the middle military captain, and Zhou Feng, the rear military captain, each with 1,000 soldiers. The other is the head of some large and powerful independent battalions, all surrounded by the Chinese army.

Zhou Feng had just finished the military discussion from the Chinese army, and as soon as he came back, he listened to his subordinate generals say that he went out to collect grain in the morning, and more than 20 people would have come back by now, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

was scolded by Zhou Feng with his nose, and the general who collected the grain said tremblingly:

"Today, we went out to collect grain, and we formed twenty teams, two in each team, to go to the nearby township to collect grain. But who knows, when this is the time, only one of the grain conscription teams closest to the big camp will come back, and no one else will come back."

Hearing this, Zhou Feng scolded:

"Why don't you die together? People haven't come back, and you can't send people to see them again? Hot girl, it's not that you're my brother-in-law, just your brain, I'll kick it out of the camp with one kick. Stupidity kills. Damn, you're going to widow your sister sooner or later."

Just when Zhou Feng's brother-in-law was busy going out of the tent to send someone to investigate, someone opened the big tent and came in, this person was eight feet tall, with a dark complexion and strong muscles, just looking like a high-spirited man.

As soon as this gentleman came in, Zhou Feng's face softened, and Wen Yan asked:

"Yo Nian, why are you here? Is the camp arranged?"

This Ang Zang man, surnamed Liu Mingyan, is a disciple of the Liu family in Lu County, Jibei County, Yanzhou, with quiet sex and courage, and is a general under Zhou Feng.

As soon as Liu Yan came, he didn't greet Zhou Feng's brother-in-law, so he reported to Zhou Fengyu:

"Captain, the general told me that the food conscription team hadn't returned, and I had already asked people to investigate. As soon as they arrived, the brothers had been stripped of their clothes and armor, and they were still on the nearby village road. I sent out five squads, and all five of them returned like this, and I think the rest of them didn't come back."

The general of the pan department is Zhou Feng's brother-in-law, pan yi. From the Jibei Guo Pan clan, the Pan Zhao in its clan is one of the five dragons in Jibei, and it is also a small potential clan. Zhou Feng also saw that it was in the face of Fan Zhao that he just reprimanded him and did not really punish him, otherwise it would be so simple if such a big incident happened?

But when Zhou Feng really learned the news from Liu Yan that the four hundred old soldiers were gone, he still had a cramp in his heart, he pointed to the mountain, couldn't say a word, sat down on the Hu bed, and cried:

"It hurts me."

These four hundred old pawns were all saved by him Zhou Feng who didn't know how long it took to raise them, and they were his descendants, otherwise he would not have let his brother-in-law be this general. But who knows, after several years of hard work, it will be lost because of the non-person entrusted to it.

When he saw that Yan Wei lowered his head and wiped his tears there in a fake way, Zhou Feng was even more angry, picked up a pu fan on the desk, smashed it, and scolded:

"Go back to Lu County for Naigong, get out now."

After speaking, he raised his sleeves again, hid his face and wept:

"My four hundred children, it's all my Zhou Feng who saw the wrong person and misunderstood you. Repentance."

Please call me Mr. Chen
