Since Chen Xikang led the troops to the south of the Yangtze River, there have been countless pairs of eyes in the world staring at his every move, and now outside of Huaiji, after the news that he led the army to fight with the Hanyang Zhuji and won leaked out again, the world is full of voices.

For the Hanyang Zhuji, not only the people in the court are in awe of it, but also the people in the rivers and lakes who are scattered, when they mention the Hanyang Zhuji, there will also be admiration on their faces, because the people who can be appointed by the Han Emperor as the Hanyang Zhuji are all amazing and outstanding.

It is precisely because of the fame of the Hanyang Zhuji that now Chen Xikang fought with the Hanyang Zhuji and won the victory, and the name of General Tiance gradually began to spread among various armies.

In the middle of Qu Ho, a city that has just experienced a war and changed its lord, Chai Fei from the west sits in the city lord's mansion and reads through all the taxes and conscription literature in Qu Ho, thinking about how to use the available grain and grass in the most economical way.

If it were not for the abundant iron ore resources to make iron-smelting technology as support, it would be one thing whether everyone in the west could be fed and warm, but even so, the west could only barely achieve self-sufficiency, and the people in the west could not provide enough food and grass for the marching and fighting teams.

Now that the West is no longer a strong man, after the supply of grain and grass is cut off, the Western Army naturally has to find another way.

However, before the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River is pocketed, it is the best decision for the west to raise war with war.

However, even if there is a lot of surplus grain and grass in the warehouse between Qu Hao and Jinyang, it is still a little difficult to feed tens of thousands of troops in the west, and now Chen Xikang and Wang Ma are fighting on the front line with a large army, and Chai Fei, who is in the rear, must find a way to provide enough food and grass for the two.

But although Chai Fei understands this truth, he can't work too hard for the people and lose money, so as not to lose the hearts of the people, and Chai Fei is also a little stretched for a while.

If the people in the Jinyang City that have just been captured are scraped because of the lack of food and grass, after the reputation of the West is stinking, it will be difficult to win the recognition and support of the people of the world.

Thinking of the prince and general Wang in front of her, she was as brave as a dragon, but if there was no food and grass, she had to obediently retreat to the rear, and she was a little helpless.

And when Chai Fei was thinking about a time of rights and interests in his heart, Tian Zhendong, the county commander in Jinyang, came to the city lord's mansion with a pair of his children.

Although Chen Xikang promised that as long as he didn't have different intentions in the west, everything in Jinyang would be the same, but Jinyang changed his master after all, and after not knowing what the character of the prince of the west and the new city lord was, Tian Zhendong still kept to himself a lot, at least he didn't dare to act at will as before, relying on his identity as a county commander.

"Chai Zhouzi, I have recently contacted some shops in other cities, and I can buy some grain, but the price is a bit high, I wonder if Yi Zhouzi has any thoughts about this batch of grain?"

Before and after being taken to Chai Fei, Tian Zhendong spoke respectfully, and the reason why he called Qi Fei Zhou Zi was because after Yi and the crown, he mentioned the word Zhou Zi.

"I have been an official in Jinyang for many years, and I have some savings in my family, but these grains are really expensive, and seeing that the two kings and one emperor in the world are fighting fiercely, these black-hearted businessmen who are doing reselling business in the shadows have not made less money and water, and now they are bargaining all over the sky after hoarding goods, in addition to maintaining the needs of the family, I can only buy five hundred grains. ”

"As for the other five hundred deniers...... I'm afraid I still need Zhou Zi to make a move. Seeing that the person in front of him was acting intentionally after hearing his words, Tian Zhendong also continued to speak.

After Jinyang changed hands, seeing that the prince of the western region was so fast, and knowing that even if the western region would be defeated in the future, there was a chance that the land south of the Yangtze River would probably fall, Tian Zhendong also became active about the affairs of the western region.

"Now that the war situation is urgent, the Tian County Order can be so concerned about the front line, and there is really a Laotian County Order. In this way, this other five hundred denier snacks, I will pay for it, Jinyang has just changed hands, and there are many people who are loyal to the Han royal family, and there are many vacant positions that no one can do, I see that Ling Lang is fine at home, so it is better to come and give it a try. ”

"For those who have talents, they should not be buried, and they should be given a position and seek a job, this is what the prince told me. ”

Although there is a total of 1,000 deniers of food, but at this moment, Chai Fei is not qualified to dislike it, not to mention that there are generally a number of free of this 1,000 deniers of food.

However, Chai Fei is also a sleek person, seeing that the county order in front of him not only brought the news of grain and grass, but also brought a pair of his children with him, the city government was deep, Chai Fei Yan could not guess Tian Zhendong's abacus, so at this time he also said smartly that he wanted to arrange a position for the countryside.

After handing over Jinyang to Chai Fei, Chen Xikang did not think about interfering again, but decided to let Chai Fei take care of it.

The original picture of a dragon python fighting in the wilderness allowed Chen Xikang to see the extraordinaryness of Chai Fei, but how much wisdom and talent Chai Fei has, it will take time to show Chen Xikang little by little.

Jinyang is a small city where Chen Xikang asked Chai Fei to show his talents, and only when Chai Fei shows enough talent can he be qualified to get more from Chen Xikang.

Of course, the more you get, the more Chai Fei needs to give back to Chen Xikang.

Hearing such a promise from the new city lord without opening his mouth in person, Tian Zhendong's happiness in his heart at this time was completely displayed on his face, and when he immediately respectfully expressed his respect, he also invited Chai Fei to his house for dinner.

However, for this, Chai Fei refused.

In terms of personality, Chai Fei is somewhat similar to the Fulong Great Strategist in the Sun-sinking Pavilion, and in peace, as long as he sees his eyes, he can see a deep light in them.

After studying in the Daming Palace for many years, Chai Fei has a better understanding of the so-called deceit and scheming people's hearts, so even if Chai Fei is disdainful or even disdainful of Tian Zhendong's behavior, he still readily agreed.

The description of fickleness may not be a good word, but a person who does not understand fickleness will suffer a big loss in politics and officials, especially in troubled times like this.

And when Chai Fei was worried about the grain and grass in Jinyang, there were also people in the west who were planning for the grain and grass, but the person who was planning was not Chen Wanqing who was in Muping, but in a bandit nest far away on the border of the west.

Under the war, the peace in the world is nonsense, food and clothing are what people are most worried about and care about, and the court is busy attacking the city and plundering the land, and there is no time to take care of the place, there are many merchants who are engaged in reselling business, and want to seek huge benefits for themselves through the troubled times.

But although this is the truth, but at this time, in the midst of the deer, the purpose of Xiahouzi to collect grain from everywhere is not to resell it for gold, silver and jewelry.

When Wang Ma passed by Zhulu before, he bluntly said that he would let Xiahou Zicong go to Chen Xikang, and now Xiahou Zicong also intends to do so.

It's just that if you occupy the mountain as the king, and make huge profits by doing blood-stained trading, you will make a living after all, in order to make the door valve of the Xiahou family stand loudly in the world again, Xiahou Zicong decided to give it a go.

Ordinary days are comfortable, but if you are used to the current situation, then Xiahou Zicong's life is a ruthless bandit, and maybe there is still a small reputation among the ten miles and eight towns, but when he entered the loess in the year, and when his back was full of soil, the little notoriety left behind would be thrown away like throwing away bad shoes and old clothes after being spurned by people.

Although Xiahou Zi was the leader of the bandits, when he proposed to exchange the wealth of the entire mountain for food, and used the exchanged grain as a vote for his own refuge with the prince of the western region, many people on the mountain still objected, and Xiahouzi still acted according to his own ideas.

As for those on the mountain who did not take possession, and even proposed to divide their property and run away separately, they were solved by the ruthless Xiahou Zicong, who was the second leader on the mountain, all of whom turned their faces and did not recognize people, and died tragically in the hands of Xiahou Zicong.

And after Xiahou Zicong killed all the opponents with fierce means, the mountain finally quieted down, but although he didn't dare to say it clearly, after all, he still didn't agree with Xiahou Zicong's approach, and there were still some people in the mountain gate who secretly left.

However, not everyone opposed Xiahou Zicong's decision, and there were no longer a few people who agreed, so after calming down the internal coaxing at this time, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

After mobilizing all his means, Xiahou Zi now has three thousand deniers of grain in his hands, and such a number is already a huge number for a local bandit, if it is seized, it is enough to give Xiahou Zi the death penalty from Che Split.

Although everything is ready, but for so many years for Kou to be a bandit, Xiahou Zicong has also developed a cautious and vigilant character, I don't know what the character of the prince of the West is like, whether he will occupy the grain that he exchanged for half his life's hard work, and then abandon himself at will, Xiahou Zicong is waiting for a suitable introduction, and this person is naturally Lu Donkey who advised him to do this before.

Although the outside world's comments about Chen Xikang are very good, but considering that the prince of the West is a person who seeks power and the world after all, and the wisdom in his heart is not something that can be grasped by a person who points ink, Xiahouzi only believes in the big battalion commander Lu Donkey.

Now Lu Donkey is still in the Baichuan Mountains, but after knowing from the news that he will soon return to the west, Xiahou Zicong is also waiting for Lu Donkey to pass by again.

After deciding not to be a bandit anymore, after transforming everything he had into the dark for the transaction in the shadows, Xiahouzi never got involved in it, but sat in the small restaurant opened by Bi Die's parents all day long.

Bi Die's family enjoyed the grace of Xiahou Zicong, so they were able to open a restaurant again and live a stable life, so even if Xiahou Zicong has been eating and drinking in the restaurant for nothing, Bi Die's family will not mind the slightest.

"Brother Xiahou, do you really want to go to the prince of the western region? Bi Die doesn't understand the major affairs of the world, but the people who come and go in the rivers and lakes say that although the prince of the western region is brave and invincible now, he is a rebellious minister after all, and he will ...... in the future."

"Die'er, illness comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, there are some things that we can't talk about casually. My decision has been decided, and after I leave, you will move to the Yellow Turban, where the general is under the jurisdiction, and it will be much more stable and calm, and there will be fewer people who cause trouble, and life will be more stable. ”

Hearing the words of Die'er beside him, Xiahouzi also said with a serious face after interrupting him.

Xia Houzi has made up his mind, even if he knows that following the prince of the western region, he may still die on the battlefield in the end, and even if he is defeated in the western region, he will be killed by the fish pond, but that is all later, and now Xiahouzi only wants to let go of the hand-to-hand fight once and fight for the Xiahou family once!
