Chapter 82: The Encirclement of the County Government
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Song An suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, Shui Gong?
Why didn't he think of it before?
Although the Chunlan River is not big, if someone stores water in advance, the power of the water attack may not only affect Cang County, but also several surrounding counties may become a vast ocean.
And I am afraid that these rice grains will not be harvested. Once this happens, even if he brings 100,000 people, he will not be able to make up for it.
Fortunately, Guo Jia's casual question woke him up.
"Long Qi, you take five thousand Luoshui and rush to the upper reaches of the Chunlan River immediately. If you find someone building a fence as a dam, you don't have to think about anything else and kill them directly." Song An said with a gloomy expression.
"It's my lord, my subordinates will do it now!" Long Qie nodded, then rode away.
"My lord is wise!" Seeing this, Guo Jia just smiled and praised, without taking credit for himself.
"Fengxiao, please stop making fun of me. If Fengxiao hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of this happening." Song An smiled bitterly, understanding what Guo Jia meant, patting Guo Jia's hand, and the group continued to the warehouse.
Travel within the county.
As soon as I entered Cang County, I heard people arguing about something noisy in front of me.
"Xu Chu, what happened in front?" Song An opened the curtains and asked Xu Chu.
"Going back to the prince, it seems that there is a conflict between the people from the county government and the people. I don't know what they are arguing about. It seems that the people from the county government do not have the upper hand!" Xu Chu took a general look and said.
Song An frowned. Because of the special nature of grain production in Cang County, a thousand soldiers and horses were stationed there. How dare the people of Cang County take action against the government?
Looking for death?
"Let's go over and take a look!" Song An suspected that something happened ahead, otherwise the people would not be able to confront the government officials.
Just when Song An and others entered Cang County, their carriage was also spotted. Dian Wei's eyes moved and he locked eyes with some pedestrians on the roadside. He couldn't help but clenched the iron halberds in his hands.
"My lord, be careful, there are many warriors nearby!" Dian Wei walked to the carriage and whispered.
Song An frowned, it seemed that Wansha Palace had already penetrated into Cang County.
Among the crowd, the gate of the county government office was tightly surrounded by people.
"Why aren't we allowed to sell our own grain? We sell it to the government every year. After tax and money are deducted, we can barely live with food and clothing. You sit there eating and drinking every day. Have you considered how I feel?"
"It's just that, now it's hard for someone to buy our food, but you still don't let us sell it. What's your intention? Are you afraid that you won't have enough money to eat?"
…
At the gate of the county government office, the people denounced the county magistrate with every word they spoke, with expressions of deep hatred on their faces.
In the past, they would not have dared to come to the county government to cause trouble even if they were beaten to death. The thousand troops stationed in Cang County could easily defeat them. But it is different now. I don’t know where the news came from that the leader of the garrison suddenly died.
I'm not in the mood to care about them now.
At first they didn't believe it, but as things got louder and louder, and only the county government came forward, they gradually believed the news, and became more and more unrestrained. Today, they even blocked Liu Chang at the gate of the county government and asked Liu Chang for help.
Say, why can't their food be sold to those merchants?
If they sell it at the price offered by the merchant, each family can get half the money, which can greatly change their lives.
So even though they knew it was illegal to block the county government office, they still came.
County government office.
"Lord County Magistrate, the people outside are almost squeezing the door open. Please think of a way!" An old man from the county scratched his hair anxiously. They had been working as masters in Cang County for so many years, and they had never encountered this before.
Been in this situation.
The leader of the garrison of a thousand suddenly died suddenly, leaving the garrison without a leader. Liu Chang did not ask anything about the affairs of Cang County. Liu Chang did not know how many times he asked, but he could not even see the leader of the garrison. Fortunately, he sent thousands of people there every year.
Less stuff.
There was no chance for the garrison, so Liu Chang thought of asking for help from the governor of Youzhou. He sent a total of seven or eight waves of people, but no news came back, and the people who went there were nowhere to be found. Based on Liu Chang's experience, these people are probably all
More bad luck than good.
"What solution? What solution can you think of? Apart from staying here and waiting to die, is there any other solution?" Liu Chang had a sneer on his face. On the first day he became the magistrate of Cang County, he had expected such a thing, because
He himself also knows the importance of Cang County.
"County Magistrate, is there really nothing you can do? The garrison doesn't care. Our county government can gather forty or fifty people if we gather together. How about we fight with them!" The old man looked sad and angry, and wanted to fight with the other party.
Fight to the death.
"Fight? Fight with your life? Since the other side dares to fight like this, they must be fully prepared. Even the garrison is no match. We don't have enough people to put a gap in the opponent's teeth!" Liu Chang's face
They are full of helplessness. Under the current situation, they are not even qualified to fight and can only wait to die.
"Just wait, if the imperial court doesn't come to help before the autumn harvest, we will burn the rice so that they can get nothing!" Liu Chang's face showed a trace of determination, which then turned into fierceness.???.
At the same time, Song An and others also came to the county government office.
"Brother, why are you surrounding the gate of the county government office?" Xu Chu, riding a Dawan horse, asked a commoner on the edge with a trembling face.
But as soon as the man saw Xu Chu, he was so frightened by Xu Chu's appearance that he almost fell to the ground. His face was full of panic and he backed away. He didn't even care about the county government affairs and ran away in a hurry.
.
"I..." Xu Chu's face was extremely ugly. Does he look so scary?
"Hahaha, second brother, don't show off your ugliness to scare people. You might scare them!" Dian Wei laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up. Xu Chu's face was so ugly that water dripped from his face.
"This brother..." But as soon as Dian Wei patted the person on the shoulder, before asking why, he was frightened by Dian Wei's evil look and fell to the ground, trembling all over.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
A panicked shout made the originally agitated crowd quiet down, and turned everyone's attention from the county government to Song An and others.
"Who...are you?" Some of them were obviously more frightened than others, and their faces were so pale that they could not speak. With the size and appearance of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, it was obvious that they were not farming people.
Song An put his hand on his forehead. He really didn't know what to say. Why did the generals he summoned all look so ferocious? In addition to Dian Wei and Xu Chu, there was Yuchi Gong in the three northern states, and there was only one Long Qie.
It's a bit more handsome, but I haven't taken it with me yet.
"Lord, something is wrong with someone!" While Song An was still paying attention to the beauty and ugliness, Guo Jia noticed something was wrong through the car window.
"What's going on?" Song An was stimulated by Guo Jia's words and suddenly became alert.
"Generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei, go and arrest those guys with pale faces and wandering eyes!" Guo Jia said directly before he had time to explain.
