Chapter 545: Officers and Soldiers Borrow Food

"Cheng Zhixian, the words can't be said so absolutely, let's get rid of thieves for the people, Baixin should give some grain and grass, if it is in Zhujiazhuang, I will cover the grain and grass of this army. Pro-Shell Pavilion"

Zhu Chaofeng opened his mouth and said, he is not an official and can represent the people.

"What's more, this grain is not just borrowed and not returned, waiting for the thieves to return, isn't it just to return the grain to the townspeople."

Zhu Chaofeng did not wait for Uncle Zhang to speak, and continued, now food is the most important, the soldiers of Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion may be able to endure it for two days, but the villagers of Zhujiazhuang can't bear it, and many people are already complaining, shouting that they want to go back to Zhujiazhuang, and they are unwilling to be enemies in Liangshan.

"What you say is also reasonable, but you still have to discuss with the people to borrow food, not like thieves!"

Although Cheng Wanli felt that this was not good, but now that there is no food in the army, let it go, if there is a mutiny, the consequences will be far more serious than borrowing grain.

"Yes!"

Dong Ping was overjoyed, and went down with a fist at Cheng Wanli.

"Governor Cheng, thieves have never been like this, how can we be worthy of this official uniform?"

Uncle Zhang looked at Cheng Wanli and said.

"This is also something that cannot be helped, tell the people that after repelling the thieves, this year's taxes will be reduced or reduced."

Cheng Wanli said to a Marquis Yu.

"Since Zhang Zhixian is unwilling to borrow grain, does he have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Cheng Wanli looked at Zhang Shuye, although he has a lot of complaints about Zhang Shuye now, but he knows Zhang Shuye's ability very well, and if he wants to retreat from the enemy, he can only rely on Zhang Shuye.

"Break out tonight! This place is forty miles away from Dongping Mansion, and you can always go back if you force a breakthrough. ”

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth at night.

"How sure are you?"

Cheng Wanli was a little moved, looked at Uncle Zhang and asked.

"Sancheng, we have 10,000 people, and if we forcibly break through and pay six or seven thousand casualties, we should be able to return to Dongping Mansion."

Zhang Shuye opened his mouth and said, if it weren't for the fact that Liangshan had more than 2,000 cavalry, this could be added by another two percent.

"It's only 30%!"

Cheng Wanli was disappointed when he heard this, this success rate is a little low, and he now has 12,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

"Governor Cheng, not all of us are soldiers, those in Zhujiazhuang are all villagers, and there is no systematic training, so it really won't play a role in the war."

Zhang Shuye said to Cheng Wanli in a low voice, there seem to be a lot of people on their side, but in fact, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Liangshan, otherwise they would not have been besieged in Anshan Town.

"Lord Prefect, thieves use arrows to send messages!"

A soldier ran in from outside and handed over a letter.

"Hmmm! What! ”

Cheng Wanli was still impatient, but when he saw the handwriting on the envelope, his face changed greatly, his daughter's handwriting was taught by him, and he saw that he couldn't fake it since he was a child.

Everyone looked at Cheng Wanli suspiciously, not knowing why the prefect was suddenly so out of shape, and they all stared at the letter in Cheng Wanli's hand, curious about what the thief wrote in his heart.

"This ...... Maid...... Child! ”

Cheng Wanli looked at his daughter's persuasion letter, so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth and said, he was angry, it was useless to have a daughter, his elbow turned out, and now he actually helped the thief persuade him to surrender as a father, which is simply unfilial son.

Cheng Wanli stared at the letter in his hand, after a short period of anger, there was a burst of worry in his heart, his daughter has been studying in the back hall since she was a child, and she has little contact with outsiders, and now she has been kidnapped by thieves, a weak woman is in the hands of thieves, and she is in danger, the misery does not need to be explained, when she thinks of this, where can he, a father, sit.

"Gather troops and horses, go out of town tonight to kill the enemy!"

Cheng Wanli shouted at everyone.

"Prefect, this ......"

Everyone was puzzled for a while, how could Cheng Wanli, who was still hesitant just now, become angry and abnormal at this moment.

"The prefect is a minister, don't be provoked by thieves, this thief is the best at night fighting, and he will definitely be tricked when he goes out."

Zhang Qing clenched his fists and said, Cheng Wanli is angry and raising soldiers, this soldier is taboo.

"The prefect, what is written in the thief's letter?"

Everyone looked at Cheng Wanli suspiciously, and they were even more curious about the letter.

"It's nothing, it's just a sarcastic letter!"

Cheng Wanli stuffed the letter into his sleeve, his daughter's letter can't let everyone know, his reputation is small, his daughter's reputation is big, if everyone knows that his daughter was kidnapped by thieves, then his daughter's reputation will be ruined.

Seeing that Cheng Wanli's anger was gone, everyone no longer bothered about the letter.

"Lord Prefect, this is Zhuge Kongming's method of agitating against Sima Zhongda, and you must not fall for the enemy's plan."

"Lord Prefect, it's better to fight the thieves after dawn."

The crowd spoke.

"Then send troops tomorrow!"

Cheng Wanli was so distraught now that he got up and left.

Everyone just thought that Cheng Wanli was still angry, and they didn't take it seriously, only Uncle Zhang frowned and thought about it, feeling that the letter was not simple.

Outside the town of Ansan.

"Leader Sun, will my father come out?"

Cheng Wan'er looked at Anshan Town and asked Sun Lei, her letter has been sent in for a long time, but Anshan Town has not moved yet.

"It's not that easy! Governor Cheng's Mansion is the first seat of a city, and now he is leading tens of thousands of people, how can he go out of the city and surrender because of a letter from you. ”

Sun Lei shook his head with a smile and said, he didn't think that he would surrender like this, and if he wanted to come out, he would bring people to kill and save people, he was here tonight to listen to the movements in the town.

"Brother, it's on!"

Pang Wanchun's ears were pointed and he whispered.

The crowd held their breath and listened to a burst of low cries and scolding, mixed with the barking of dogs and chickens.

"What is this?"

Cheng Wan'er looked at Sun Lei and the others suspiciously, not knowing what they were listening to these for.

"The town has already rushed for food."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Soldiers rush for food!"

Cheng Wan'er looked at the town in disbelief, the voice was real, she didn't want to believe that her father would do such a thing.

"The military rations under the prefect of Cheng are running out, how can they do if they don't start with the townspeople?"

Sun Lei said.

"Brother, if you go back and forth like this two or three times, it is estimated that there will be a rebellion in the town."

Wen Huanzhang listened to the voice and said, the resistance of the townspeople is still very fierce, and the official army will definitely have a conflict if the grain collection is not smooth, and now that the Liangshan army is outside, the townspeople will definitely think of taking refuge.

"Almost, Ansan Town is not big, and the ordinary people can't store food for more than 10,000 troops for a long time."

Sun Lei nodded and said, there are only a few thousand townspeople in Anshan Town, how can they support more than 10,000 troops? The looting is very likely to cause a civil uprising, which is what he wants Zhang Shuye and Cheng Wanli to see.

"Tomorrow, the prefect should lead the troops out to fight, and the brothers should prepare."

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.

"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely capture the prefect of Cheng."

Everyone said with a smile, since Sun Lei had promised not to kill Cheng Wanli, then they naturally wanted to arrest him alive.

Everyone dispersed, but Cheng Wan'er's face was full of worry, and these "vicious" thieves in front of her were always not so credible.

"Miss Cheng, don't worry, although my brothers speak rudely, they do what they say."

Sun Lei smiled and comforted Cheng Wan'er, everyone's words just now were full of laughter, they all thought that he was interested in Cheng Wan'er, but in the ears of Cheng Wan'er, a woman who had never seen a sinister woman, it became a malicious ridicule.
