Chapter 62: Conquer the Towns
Xiao Jing heard the contempt in the mouths of the two, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
In today's world, contempt for alien races is engraved in the bones of the Han people, and it is normal for people to dislike a town like Muma Town, where Hu and Han live together.
"Horse Husbandry?!! Which township is the northernmost part of Zenna? ”
Xiao Jing thought to himself, recalling the various information collected by his spies.
Muma Town, near the desert, good at raising horses, good at riding, lack of food, good friends with Xiaohezhuang, perennial confrontation with foreign races, the townspeople are fierce, full of martial virtues......
"Close to the desert? Good at horses? Isn't this the best nail to plant in the desert! ”
Recalling the information in Muma Town, Xiao Jing was immediately a little moved.
After all, with the characteristics of the 'First Emperor and the Quartet', he is destined to confront the desert alien race sooner or later, and he needs to prepare early.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing hurriedly rushed to the gathering place of the troops in Muma Town.
Huyan Pojun, the eldest son of the mayor of Muma Town, is burly and strong, strong in force, and very good at cavalry charges, so he was sent by the mayor of Muma Town to support Shanwu City this time.
Of course, the support for Shanwucheng is only a superficial factor, but secretly it is actually to demonstrate to Xiaohezhuang, asking why the grain it trades has been greatly reduced?
Muma Town is close to the desert, there is little fertile land, and the food produced is not enough for the townspeople to eat, and it coincides with the great drought, and the grain production is greatly reduced, and life is very difficult.
But to add insult to injury, Xiaohezhuang, which has always been friendly with Muma Town in the past, has been forcibly occupied by Daliu Town in recent days because of the fertile land, and the grain production is expected to plummet, so the transaction with Muma Town has been reduced.
All in all, Muma Town was very short of food, and brought 300 second-order cavalry over for many purposes, but it was never to support Shanwu City.
After all, the 30,000 yellow scarves outside Shanwu City are too scary, and serious people who would send their own soldiers to the fire pit.
"It's just too deceitful!"
As soon as Huyan Pojun came back, his tone was full of anger.
Just now, he pulled down his face and went to visit the other township commanders, but he had a cold ass on his hot face.
Although it was not explicitly expressed, the disdain of those township commanders was too obvious.
Huyan Pojun is a reckless man, that's true, but he is not a fool, he can feel the attitude of those towns.
Because of this, Huyan Pojun was very angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but think,
"If it weren't for us resisting those aliens in the north, how would your towns and villages be so stable?"
The deputy of the cavalry unit of Muma Town is a scribe, and he can understand the anger of Huyan Pojun, but for Muma Town, it is more important to win over the township of Shanwu County.
At the moment of life and death, you can only first grieve and break the army.
Seeing Huyan Pojun's attitude, the scribe's brows furrowed at first, but then as if he thought of something, he asked in a calm voice.
"General Mo Nu, it's okay if other towns have a bad attitude towards us, but what is Da Liu Town's attitude towards us?"
When Huyan Pojun heard this, his expression was stunned, and then he showed a wry smile and said, "I haven't come into contact with Da Liu Zhen yet, and I was angry with their attitude!" ”
When the scribe heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"That's good!"
After speaking, the scribe seemed to think of something, and sighed helplessly:
"Originally, the town elder prepared 300 second-order horses to deter Da Liu Zhen and show his strength, but now it seems that I am waiting for this extra move!"
When Huyan Pojun heard this, he also smiled bitterly.
Not long ago, seeing the thousands of soldiers in Daliu Town, who could understand the shock and bitterness in their hearts.
"Xiaohezhuang is unreliable! Occupying so much fertile land, it can't stop the yellow scarf, it's just ridiculous and generous! ”
"If you want food, you have to rely on Da Liu Town!"
The scribe told Huyan Pojun,
"Therefore, I hope the general remembers that even if Mayor Xiao has a bad attitude towards the general, he must endure it, and now, for Muma Town, food is more important than everything!"
When Hu Yan Pojun heard this, he was silent for a while, a little depressed, but he still nodded fiercely.
"That's good, the general is still ......"
The scribe nodded, and opened his mouth to say something.
"Newspaper~"
But at this moment, the sergeant suddenly came to report, "Report, the mayor of Daliu Town asks to see you outside the camp!" ”
Mayor of Daliu Town?!!!
Huyan Pojun and the scribe looked at each other in astonishment, with a look of surprise and disbelief in their eyes.
Will the mayor of Daliu Town meet them?
After being stunned, the two glanced at each other, although they didn't know Xiao Jing's purpose, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
"Quick, hurry, please!! No, I'll greet it personally! ”
Before the words fell, Huyan Pojun walked like the wind, hurried to the outside of the camp, and saw Xiao Jing and his party.
The moment he saw Xiao Jing, Hu Yan Pojun was shocked.
He felt a strong threat from Xu Tai and Cao Xing, the two generals behind Xiao Jing, which made him feel a huge shock in his heart, who was invincible when he fought against foreign races.
Is this the strength of Da Liu Zhen?
Xiao Jing didn't wait long outside the barracks in Muma Town when he saw a strong man running out of the barracks in a hurry, followed by a scribe.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing knew in his heart and understood that the person in front of him was the person in charge of the troops who came from Muma Town.
He immediately smiled and said, "Disturb the general's rest!" ”
When Huyan Pojun heard this, he waved his hand again and again:
"Don't dare, don't dare, Mayor Xiao's prestige has already been known, and I admire it tightly, in my opinion, Mayor Xiao is a real hero among so many gutless rats in this good county!"
"It's a pity that I have to guard against that desert alien race, otherwise I really want to fight side by side with Mayor Xiao!"
In a word, let Mao Gang of Woniu Town and Ding Zhi of Dayan Town, who came with Xiao Jing, change their faces slightly, and secretly scolded them for being really barbarians! I didn't want to deal with him even more.
When the scribe who came after heard this, he quickly pulled the corner of Lahuyan's torn military coat, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face showed a hint of apology.
Xiao Jing nodded, and said without mind: "Muma Town has always been wary of foreign races in the past, and I have heard of it a long time ago, so I really admire it." ”
As soon as the words changed, Xiao Jing said again: "I heard that there is a shortage of food in Muma Town, but is there such a thing?" ”
When Huyan Pojun heard this, he paused, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't hide it from Mayor Xiao!" ”
After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and admitted very angrily: "That guy in Xiaohezhuang is unwilling to trade grain with us anymore, so he ......."
Without waiting for Huyan Pojun to hear this, Xiao Jing smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, my Daliu Town has abundant food and a slight surplus, but it can provide some of the Horse Husbandry Town, but it's ......."
Hu Yan Pojun, hearing the words, glanced at the scribe, and faintly understood the unfinished meaning in Xiao Jing's tone, and immediately bowed:
"Thank you for your kindness, thank you Mayor Xiao this time, the whole town of Muma is willing to obey Mayor Xiao's orders!"
Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then left.
For him, the troops he has now brought in to support him are enough.
As long as the food shortage situation in Horse Husbandry Town is not improved, there is always a chance to win over Horse Husbandry Town and even control Horse Husbandry Town, and he has enough patience to wait.
After leaving the barracks where the troops in Muma Town were located, Xiao Jing summoned the heads of the support units in each town to discuss the selection of the 'commander' of the troops.
In the end, with the strong support of herding horses, lying cattle, and big salt, Da Liu Zhen Cao Xing successfully served as the commander of this army of more than 1,300 people.
