Jiang Tangtang raised his hand, put all the medicine into the space, and said curiously: "You want to recruit soldiers?" ”

Lu Shiyan said: "Yes, now Puzhou's troops are too small to confront Xirong. I suggested that Master Zhang recruit some homeless people to serve as soldiers. ”

"Recruit soldiers for food, right? Do you have so much food? Jiang Tangtang was entangled for a moment, but still said: "If the food is not enough, you can take a little from me." ”

Lu Shiyan said: "Not for the time being, Master Zhang said that he would find a way." If I need it later, I'll look for you again. ”

Jiang Tangtang inexplicably felt relieved, and said sweetly: "Okay! ”

"You go to sleep first! I still have something to do here, so I need to go out first. ”

Jiang Tangtang talked to someone, the excitement passed, yawned, and went to sleep.

Lu Shiyan went to the Xirong military camp again.

Among the pile of medicines that Jiang Tangtang took out just now, he found a very powerful medicine for diarrhea.

He planned to see if there was a chance tonight to put the powder in the meals of the Xijon soldiers.

If he succeeds, he can hold off the Xijon soldiers for a while.

Helian Heng stayed up all night last night, and while sending people to investigate the neighborhood to see if there were any suspicious people and where the stolen grain was transported, he also tortured the soldiers to catch the thieves.

tossed for a day and a night, and made the barracks complain, but did not find out the ghosts.

Just when he wondered if he was suspicious and misunderstood his subordinates, he didn't want to spread the news that a large number of soldiers had diarrhea.

Helian Heng immediately sent a military doctor to check, but he didn't want the military doctor to finally conclude that these soldiers were poisoned. The poison was the laxative they had brought with them in this army.

Helian Heng was suddenly furious, "Give me a trial, and I will arrest the traitor after digging three feet into the ground." ”

The military advisor shook his beard and said: "Your Highness, please calm your anger, this may be a conspiracy of the enemy army, and we must not fall for the enemy's tricks." ”

Helian Heng sneered, "Are you saying that the enemy army unknowingly stole the grain in our granary, and also used the unique laxatives in our army, and deliberately went down to our army, just to make us infighting?" ”

The military advisor stubbornly said: "Your Highness, it's not impossible!" ”

Helian Heng said: "If there is no internal response, how can the enemy army transport the contents of our granary without knowing it? Even if it is a conspiracy of the enemy army, it is a traitor in the army. If this traitor is not removed, the future war will not be smooth. ”

The military advisor was speechless.

It is impossible to transport so much grain without internal support. But even if there is an internal response, the military advisor feels that this is a difficult thing to accomplish.

The military advisor frowned, and suddenly said excitedly: "Your Highness, is it related to that gang of thieves?" ”

When they moved to the camp, in order to ensure the safety of military rations, they transported the grain in batches. A team of food deliveries was all looted and killed, and the food they delivered was also robbed.

And the gang of thieves acted neatly, and they still haven't found a clue about it.

Helian Heng pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Send someone to investigate." ”

Now he will not let go of any possibility.

The movement on Xirong's side quickly attracted the attention of King Duan and King Rui.

The specific situation of the Xirong camp, the people on both sides did not dare to get too close, and they did not know the actual situation.

However, after the Xijon soldiers dressed up, they went around to inquire about the thieves, but they were collected by their men and horses, and the news was quickly passed back.

King Duan was puzzled: "What did you say?" What are you looking for? ”

The subordinate said: "Yes, it is said that the bandit was very rampant, and he robbed them of the food of a team of men and horses at that time. ”

"Why are you only checking now?" Duan Wang twisted his beard, and always felt that this matter was not simple.

"I don't know about the little one, but I heard that the man's martial arts are very strong, and the Xijon soldiers are disguised as outcasts, and they are looking around where there are bandits with such good skills, and they say that they want to defect."

King Duan's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he said, "Could it be that Helian Heng's dog thief didn't attack Puzhou, and it has something to do with the robber?" ”

No one could answer him, and there was silence below.

Duan Wang said unhappily: "Go, hurry up and check to see what is going on." ”

He originally thought that King Rui couldn't help but make a move, and he was still happily waiting for the two sides to lose and benefit from it for the past two days! Could it be that he is happy for nothing?

On the other side, King Rui's subordinates were also reporting the news to him.

Like King Duan, King Rui's second monk was confused, obviously not understanding what the Xirong army was doing.

The only one who knows the inside story is probably Lu Shiyan.

At this time, he took advantage of Helian Heng's suspicion of internal ghosts, hurriedly deployed, and began to recruit troops.

The method of recruiting soldiers is also very simple and rude, directly asking people to set up a table at various intersections, indicating that as long as they sign up to join the army, ten catties of food will be distributed.

At this time, many refugees had already eaten tree roots and ten catties of food, which could keep their families alive, and many desperate refugees came to sign up for the army.

Lu Shiyan was busy recruiting troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked people to strengthen the city wall and make various weapons.

The city of Puzhou is busy, and many people feel that they see hope. But Zhang Kui took out less and less food.

In addition to the need for food for recruitment, the training of these recruited recruits is also inseparable from food.

These are refugees, all of them are as thin as bamboo poles, if they don't take care of them well, and then strengthen physical exercise, how to go to the battlefield when the time comes.

In addition, food is also needed in places such as hiring people to build weapons.

Seeing that the food was getting scarcer and smaller, but there were still many places where food was needed, Zhang Kui was so worried that a lot of his hair fell out.

He had taken out all the spare grain from the government warehouse.

This kind of thing has been done to recruit soldiers privately, anyway, he is the end of the official, and he doesn't care how to explain to the court in the future.

But seeing that the food in the official warehouse was getting less and less, he was a little panicked. If it goes on like this, he will have to use his private treasury.

But it has come to this point, and if you give up, the previous investment will be in vain.

He didn't want to just give up.

In the busy situation in Puzhou, all the farm tools that Jiang Tangtang wanted were also made.

Lu Shiyan took time out of his busy schedule and personally escorted Jiang Tangtang back to the valley.

Jiang Tangtang went to the blacksmith shop these days when he had nothing to do, and he had already gotten along with the Li family.

In addition, she also picked up rags everywhere and collected talents in ironmaking and other fields.

Many merchants in the city felt that Puzhou could not be saved, so they moved out early. These merchants are in a hurry, and it is inevitable that they will leave a lot of things behind.

There were no guards patrolling the city before, and these houses were swept by many homeless gangsters.

These people break the locks on the doors of the houses and rummage through them for food or something of value. But he didn't want things that were inconvenient to take away, Jiang Tangtang put all the medicine according to the instructions of Yan when he landed, and after he released it from the space, there would be more places to put things in the space.

Jiang Tangtang unceremoniously took these things away.

Coupled with the talents he has collected, she can be said to have gained a lot.
