Chapter 348: Outside the World Meteor! Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu?

"Speed!"

With Jiang Chen's order, the Qingzhou army accelerated its way through the vast mountains and forests, and there was only one target, which was to kill Xin Longzi, a dog thief who betrayed the Allies!

Walking like a galloping horse, swift as the wind.

Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers took steady steps and spent three days to finally break out of the range of Luanquan Mountain and enter the border of Jiugu County.

But what is confusing is that many farmland outside the county town has been abandoned on a large scale and no one has cultivated it.

There are also livestock corpses floating in the wells in many villages and cannot be drunk.

Jiang Chen frowned and ordered:

"Zhang Shan, take Xiao Wu and Gongsun Hu with you and grab two tongues and come back."

"As for the order!"

Jiang Chen and the Qingzhou army all knew nothing about the current situation in Jiuquan County.

The most urgent task is to quickly obtain information from Jiuquan County and even the vast Liangzhou.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

so--

Jiang Chen immediately ordered the captain Zhang Shan, who led Xiao Wu and Gongsun Hu to form a team of 500 people and quickly broke into Jiugu County.

soon.

The local county magistrate, his wife, and the ruling master who is most familiar with the local conditions, were all sent to the general's tent.

Jiang Chen's expression was calm and his eyes were slightly cold:

"Where is your governor General, Xin Longzi?"

County Magistrate Jiugu was a Western Liang Iron Cavalry. He was once a martial artist with strong muscles and body that was not far from his saddle. After he was removed from his armor and returned to his fields, he became a county parent official.

What I am best at in my life is not martial arts, but marriage with powerful people in those places, drinking and eating meat, and discussing how to eat the land of the poor in the year of disaster?

This little girl has been the magistrate of Jiugu County for only three years, and her name has added 10,000 acres of land, and there are hundreds of slaves in her family.

But now, in the face of the powerful force, wealth and land and houses he has accumulated, what is the use of?

In this world, after all, it depends on strength to speak!

Fist is power!

County Magistrate Jiugu touched the meat on his thighs, which was fat and loose, and he couldn't help but burst into tears:

"I used to follow General Xin Longzi to fight south and north for nearly ten years. My body has been with the saddle for a long time, and the flesh on my thighs is strong and strong."

"After coming here, I have been here for three years. I have been living a comfortable life and there is no need to ride a horse. The meat on my thigh grows, fat and loose."

"Now, we can't even lead the soldiers to resist the rebels..."

The governor of Jiugu County sighed, raised his head, cast a hatred look at Jiang Chen, his face full of loyalty and righteousness, and said in a deep voice:

"It's just a fool to try to get information from me."

Jiang Chen sneered and exclaimed:

"What a loyal and righteous man."

He turned his head and said to Xiao Wu:

"Continuously beat this person until he surrenders."

"Abide by the orders of humble duties."

Bang!

With a heavy punch, he hit the face of the county magistrate Yu Jiugu. With just a moment, several of his teeth were knocked off, and blood was pouring in his mouth.

However--

Although this guy has a fetus, he is very tough. Even though he is hammered to a bruised nose and a swelling face, he has never revealed any information.

It’s a pity that his master has never been so tough.

After being fisted by Xiaowu three or four times, the master poured out all the information about Jiugu County, Jiuquan County, and even the vast Liangzhou like beans poured out:

"There are 15 counties in Jiuquan County, with 120 soldiers in each county, including ten cavalrymen, forty infantrymen, and seventy civilians."

"But all these yamen soldiers have been mobilized into the county town. In addition, the county soldiers are estimated to have four thousand troops."

"And most of the food was also transported away urgently and sent to the county town."

"Even some well water outside the city has been thrown away by livestock corpses. Even if it is cleaned up, it will take half a month before drinking it."

"The people in the county released a large number of people out of the city to make their own lives."

After Jiang Chen carefully understood the situation, he immediately understood the entire Jiuquan County and Xin Longzi's plan.

In a nutshell:

Strong walls and clear the fields!

The Qingzhou Army was originally a guest army, and the food and water it carried were very small. Xin Longzi's move was hit by seven inches!

Even if the Qingzhou army galloped hundreds of miles at night and arrived at Jiuquan County, it would attack a towering city with a tired and hungry army.

The thousands of soldiers led by Xin Longzi waited for their hard work.

Jiang Chen frowned and asked:

"Are there any other rivers in Jiuquan County?"

The master smiled bitterly:

"Only the Sugan Lake Basin near the county town has a river with melting ice and snow. The other ten counties are similar to the Western Regions, with well water as the main source of water."

In fact.

Although Jiuquan has the word "白", the climate is dry and cold, dry and hot in summer and short in winter, cold and long in winter, with gravel and Gobi spread all over the place where wheat millet can be grown is only in some basin areas.

Almost every year, Liangzhou needs to use caravans to transport large quantities of grain from Jingzhou in the south. Throughout history, all teams that have risen in Liangzhou must have good relations with vendors, otherwise the soldiers will lose food.

Shortage of food!

Water shortage!

This is the current situation facing the Qingzhou Army.

Even if you have money and soldiers, you can't buy food or grab water... Oh, by the way, even purchasing medicinal materials is difficult because of the evacuation of merchants.

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked:

"How many criminals are there in the county jail?"

The master recalled for a while and replied:

"There are about thirty or forty people."

"How many barbarians are there in the city?"

"Some days ago, Hu merchants from the Western Regions brought more than a hundred Kunlun slaves, who are still in the market and have not been sold yet."

Hearing this, Zhang Baisui's eyes turned slightly cold:

"You want to farm?"

Now is the 14th day of the leap month of the Guimao year, and there are still fifteen or sixteen days before the "Soul: Grain Rain".

Although part of the farmland outside the city was abandoned due to the war and thieves, there were still some fields, with wheat seedlings growing tenaciously, lush and lush.

If a group of civilians are forcibly requisitioned, weeds are pulled out, fertilized slightly, and then the army's martial arts - military farming, a large amount of food will definitely be harvested.

Jiang Chen looked calm:

"Charity does not control the army, righteousness does not manage finances."

"Since I have become my soldier, if I can't even eat enough, it's better to disband as soon as possible!"

Zhang Baisui was silent for a moment, frowned and said:

"This technique is evil and evil, contrary to the harmony of heaven. Even criminals and barbarians are destined to be hated by heaven. General Wu, please be careful."

"The mountain man has his own tricks, so Master Zhang doesn't need to worry."

Jiang Chen's expression became more and more majestic, and he immediately ordered his master to serve as the leader and rushed to the human market, which is the so-called slave market.

In such a chaotic year, ordinary merchants have already fled Liangzhou and went to a safer area to manage their property. Only the most fierce slave merchants dare to stay and take a risk!

…………

Slave City.

From the outside, it was just a small stone courtyard surrounded by low walls, but the courtyard was filled with hundreds of people, very crowded.
