72 Intercepting and Killing the Food and Grass of the Traitors and Collaborators
Zhao Xiaodao brought Li Yuxuan to the hall where Zhao Zhen was. "General, we have brought them here." In front of outsiders, no one could call Qiantose and His Highness. So Zhao Xiaodao called General, saluted, and went down.
.
Zhao Zhen looked at Li Yuxuan, who was a middle-aged man with a delicate face. Although this man's body looked very strong, his movements and expressions clearly had a bookish elegance.
"Why are you looking for me?" Zhao Zhen asked with a slight smile. "General..." Li Yuxuan said: "It's like this. We are surrounded by hundreds of villages and villages dozens of miles away, and they want to come to you to seek asylum. It is said that
The Jin army will arrive soon, and the surrounding areas have been captured by the Jin army. Lord Li Yanxian has already withdrawn his troops to Shaanzhou City. I am here to represent about 100,000 villagers who have come to seek a way to survive and defect to General Gao."
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said: "You know, once you come to my place, you have to help protect your homeland. Plant food, breed, dig stones, burn bricks and build city walls. What are you willing to do?"
The general knows it well. In order to have food and protect their families, the villagers will work hard to the death. Not to mention working, even on the battlefield."
In fact, the defection of a large number of people was what Zhao Zhen wanted. But Zhao Zhen was also in a dilemma because he didn't have much food in his hands. Although with the help of Li Yanxian, he not only concealed the fact that the army he led was King Xin's army, but also gave him a pseudonym.
Gaopang's Zhao Zhen applied for a formal military position, and received food, grass, and military pay from the army and the court. However, Li Yanxian did not dare to say that "Gaopang" had 10,000 troops under his command, only that there were 3,000 rebels. The Prince of the Song Dynasty through the Special Forces 72
The grain and military pay brought from the south, as well as Li Yanxian's support, and the grain that Di Lei looted during this period, plus the grain that Zhao Zhen brought back from the robbery that was not burned. In this way, Zhao Zhen was able to gather tens of thousands of people.
Food for the month. In two or three months, the food in the fields will be harvested, and they will still have food to eat. But if more than 100,000 people arrive at once, even Zhao Zhen will not be able to accommodate them. Mainly there will be nothing to eat.
"Mr. Li, I think you are also a scholar. You must know the saying that food is the most important thing for the people. It's not that I don't want everyone to come, but because we are in short supply of food and grass and there really isn't enough for everyone!" Zhao Zhen said in embarrassment.
.
Li Yuxuan said: "General, we all bring our own food. Also, on the way here today, we found a strange team in the southwest. They have more than two thousand people, and they are transporting food and grass. There are enough
There are more than five hundred horse-drawn carriages. It seems that they are from the Song Dynasty... But the direction they are transporting grain and grass is the direction of Jiezhou that the Jin army has occupied..."
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Why, do they have any problems?" "We didn't care at first, but then we realized there was a problem. If it's a caravan, how can we do business now that the war is in chaos?
If it is said to be an army transport team, but there are no soldiers in sight. The other party is transporting precious food. General, I think it is really difficult for you to accept our people who are dozens of miles around. But if this batch of food and grass can win
If you come here..."
Zhao Zhen said: "Why didn't you guess that it was the baggage team of our Song Dynasty?" Li Yuxuan shook his head and said: "Impossible, there is no reason why our baggage team of the Song Dynasty sent food and grass to the enemies of the Jin soldiers."
Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Zhen was suddenly surprised and happy. What was surprising was that someone in the south was collaborating with the enemy and delivering food and grass to the Jin soldiers. What was happy was that if this batch of food and grass could be robbed, the resettlement of these 100,000 people would be secured.
. Even if they cannot eat two full meals a day, with so much food and the original food reserves, hundreds of thousands of people can survive until next year with half a full meal.
"There is no joke in the army! Your words mean the life and death of a hundred thousand people. Moreover, your news will make me send troops to seize food, if it is false." Zhao Zhen said with a gloomy face. He stared and looked at Li Yuxuan from
Watch with your eyes to see if he is lying.
Regarding whether the other party is lying, the special forces naturally have their own method. The eyes are the windows of the soul. Li Yuxuan has not received any special training. For Zhao Zhen, it is not easy to tell whether he is lying from the look in his eyes.
Disaster.
"If I lie and report military information, General, please take my head." Li Yuxuan said decisively. "However, General, I just said that it may be collaborating with the enemy, but I am not sure yet, and I need to find out first."
"Click..." Zhao Zhen stood up with her feet. Since the ground was bluestone, the sound was loud. Zhao Zhen's boots were made of leather with deerskin nails. There were also inlays on the heel and forefoot.
The nails were on and they made a clicking sound when walking.
It doesn't matter whether the people of Song Dynasty collaborated with the enemy. It doesn't matter whether there is anything else. What matters is... food and grass! For the sake of food and grass, even the food and grass sent by Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou to the Jin army had to be robbed.
"Come here," Zhao Zhen shouted. At this time, Zhao Xiaodao came. "Play the drums to gather the troops!" Zhao Zhen ordered. Following his order, Zhao Xiaodao immediately sent someone to play the drums.
The big drum built on the school's military field was used as a signal for Zhao Zhen to gather troops. Hearing the sound of "dong dong dong dong...", the troops who were practicing immediately stopped.
With lightning speed, Zhao Zhen picked up the armor on the shelf next to him and quickly put it on. He put on the breastplate, put on the fish scale skirt, and took off his pure steel gun from the wall. Then Zhao Zhen took the red
’’s shirt was draped over his body.
In Li Yuxuan's surprised eyes, Zhao Zhen walked out and said to him: "What are you thinking about? Follow me to see. The food rations for one hundred thousand villagers are all on you." Li Yuxuan hurriedly took a few steps to follow him.
.
Zhao Zhen walked straight into the school grounds. On top of the school grounds, a dense crowd of ten thousand soldiers were already standing. They held helmets in their hands, with masks hanging on them, leather and iron armor, swords, shields and spears. They stood like pine trees one by one. Ten thousand
Many soldiers were silent.
Among them, there were many soldiers who pulled an extra horse and stood tall and tall. On the school grounds, there were occasionally a few horses whistling, making it appear solemn and silent.
"Soldiers, now we have to stop our training," Zhao Zhen shouted on the horse: "Just now, a friend came to tell me that another caravan appeared with the Jin Army. For this kind of time, all the time
We must not show mercy to the traitors who want to overthrow our Song Dynasty and fight against our Song Dynasty. They do not want to harm us all the time. They are the most abominable group of people. They betray their country and compatriots for their own interests.
The methods are shameless and despicable, and it is impossible to explain all the evil in the world. Therefore, we must fight, capture them, and let them know the power of our Song Army and the power of our army. I, as your commander, must lead
You go and fight!"
Loud voices shouted in unison, and tens of thousands of voices shouted at the same time: "Fight, fight..." Seeing this scene, Li Yuxuan was confused. He only said it was possible and wanted Zhao Zhen to check it first, but did not say this
Is the fight about to begin? Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 72
"Mr. Li Yuxuan, you lead the way, we are going to find the person you said was a traitor to the enemy." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he shouted: "Bring 200 carriages, deploy a battalion of infantry and a battalion of cavalry. Let's set off!
"
Li Yuxuan said: "But... General... I'm not sure they are the spies of the Jin Kingdom..."
"Okay..." Zhao Zhen said: "Whether he is or not, at this time, do you think there will be normal businessmen coming to the battlefield between us and the Kingdom of Jin? Are they not afraid of the Jin soldiers robbing? Why are the Jin soldiers
Don't you know how to rob them? Of course they are collaborating with the enemy. Take them down first. If they are obedient when they come up and are not guilty of any serious crimes, then there is no need to kill them. But if they are disobedient, there is something wrong with them. It is normal to kill them.
Then you can’t blame us, can you? Call your people and lead the way. With food and grass, all the people in the villages will come to our city-state, and I will give you a safe paradise, quickly!"
Li Yuxuan was startled after hearing this, "A safe paradise? It's a safe paradise, and it's the safe life that everyone expects." Talking to himself, Li Yuxuan turned around and shouted: "Brothers, folks... lead the way quickly.
…!”
To the southwest of Zhongtiao Mountain, a huge grain transport team was heading north rapidly. "Hurry up, hurry up..." a young man shouted. This man's name was Zhao Ruqing, who was the largest businessman in Longshang and also a businessman.
A distant relative of the Zhao Zhong royal family of the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, he was also a traitor who colluded with Wanyanlou, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom, to secretly provide food and fodder to the Jin army.
During this trip, Zhao Ruqing personally went out to use the grain he collected in Sichuan and Long areas in exchange for high-ranking officials and gold and silver treasures of the Jin Kingdom.
The Liao State was a long-established country that was more powerful than the Song State and had a longer history. A few years ago, during the Song-Liao War, the Song State suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Liao people. Later, a series of property tribute treaties were signed.
Later, the Liao State signed a contract with the Song State.
However, the powerful Liao Kingdom was defeated by the powerful Jurchen Jin Kingdom in just a dozen years. Facing the extremely powerful Jin Army, they faced the Jurchen Army that hosted millions of Liao Army troops.
Some people in the Song Dynasty were afraid, some were hating, some were helpless, and some chose to surrender to the enemy. And Zhao Ruqing chose to surrender to the enemy.
The Jin Army was short of food and grass, and the Jin Army Commander Wanyan Lou's house was gloomy and went everywhere to collect food and grass. After learning about this, Zhao Ruqing immediately got in touch with the Jin Army. In this era of war and chaos, the people were in dire straits. He
However, a lot of grain was collected, and countless grains could be sold in the land of plenty in the south. Zhao Ruqing not only contacted the Jin army to prepare to send 500 carts of grain, but also added about a hundred carts of salt, iron wire and silk.
Wanyanlou, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, promised Zhao Ruqing not only to give him the gold and silver worth of all these materials, but also to report to the Emperor of the Jin State, allowing him to become an official of the Jin State and enjoy endless wealth and splendor throughout his life.
.
Because the army under the pseudonym Gaopangdi Zhao Zhen belongs to Li Yanxian, and it has not been revealed that it is King Xin's army. Because this matter is very secret, only Li Yanxian knows about it. The people in King Xin's army have nominally surrendered.
Li Yanxian, therefore, cannot be regarded as a true believer in the king's army. Therefore, he did not know that Zhao Zhen, whose pseudonym was Gaopang, was a believer in the king's army. As long as it was the army of the Song Dynasty, it was up to him, Zhao Ruqing, to run wild, because he had certain
status, so in the territory of the Song Dynasty, he still has the final say!
With more than 600 carts of belongings, the team moved very slowly. Forgetting the silk and silk, how could the cart loaded with salt and iron be so light? Therefore, Zhao Ruqing's speed was very slow. There was really no way around it. However, good luck
What's more, Zhao Ruqing brought his family's swordsmen, who were all famous masters in the martial arts world. The most powerful among them was Xia Houdong, who was known as the best swordsman in Jiangnan and was nicknamed the Qiankun Swordsman.
Zhao Ruqing is confident in the martial arts of Xia Houdong, the swordsman of the universe. He believes that the swordsmanship and martial arts of the swordsman Xia Houdong are very powerful. This man's swordsmanship is so high that ordinary people can hardly imagine that he can cut through huge wood with one sword using his waist strength.
Xia Houdong, the swordsman of the universe, is very powerful. He has superb skills in electric martial arts. He relies on his martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the officials are not afraid of him. For ordinary people, the swordsman Xia Houdong of the universe can cut him in half with one sword. He finally
What is important is to speed up the speed of the sword and use speed to exert power.
Zhao Ruqing looked at the rugged mountain road. He had more than 2,000 people. But he knew that the 600 carts of supplies he brought were too valuable. Five hundred carts of grain, thirty carts of salt, fifty carts of iron, and ten carts of silk,
Ten carts of silk.
What kind of number is this? It can supply enough food and grass for a hundred thousand troops for two months! Or rather, these supplies can keep millions of people half-fed for a month. In the past, Zhao Ruqing secretly passed through the Jin Army, but he only sent
Some information and maps, and this is the biggest case that Zhao Ruqing has taken action on.
When the army fights, food and grass go first. Especially the soldiers of the Jin Army eat three meals a day during the war, and they eat a lot of food. This food is enough to feed an army of 100,000 for two months. But the common people eat two meals a day, half dry and half thin.
This food is enough for 100,000 people to eat for three to four months, or even more. And if there is no other way, the people only drink porridge to prevent themselves from starving to death, it can feed millions of people for half a year.
Porridge will not starve you to death.
Zhao Ruqing was worried about such a large batch of food supplies. Qiankun Swordsman Xia Houdong also knew. In fact, he had already sent several groups of horse bandits to fight against the autumn wind, so he was not very worried. In his opinion, as long as it was not the Jin Kingdom,
The army was dispatched, who could do anything to catch him? And the grain and grass they transported were still for the Jin army, so naturally they were fine.
At this moment, a cloud of dust suddenly appeared in the distance, and the ground shook. In this situation, it was obvious that a large group of people were advancing. The frightened Zhao Ruqing shouted: "Master Qiankun Swordsman, Master Qiankun Swordsman..."
Qiankun Swordsman Xia Houdong said: "Master, don't worry..." Dust was flying in the distance and the earth was shaking. This was a sign that a large number of cavalry were coming here.
Zhao Ruqing said: "Master Qiankun Swordsman, there must be a lot of people this time...Are we..." He meant to drive away quickly. He was simply confused and frightened when he saw soldiers. This place is not golden
When the army occupied the territory, the people who came were either Song troops or bandits. He said he was not afraid of Song troops and bandits, but after all, he did something unscrupulous. In fact, he was somewhat afraid in his heart.
"Hahahaha..." Qiankun Swordsman Xia Houdong laughed: "Let's see who dares to come and can pass my test..." He is an old Jianghu, and he can tell at a glance that the other party's people are not
It is too many, but it is only equivalent to their number. If it is thousands of horses galloping, there will not be so much dust. If it is infantry, it is even more impossible. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 72
"It seems..." one of Zhao Ruqing's soldiers said: "There is something wrong..." When looking at a team, the first thing to look at is the banner. In the Song Dynasty, the bandit rebels would raise their own banner once they became large in scale.
.If it is the Song Army, of course it is the flag of the Song Dynasty, but this is not the military flag of the Song Dynasty, but a red flag with high characters.
Since Zhao Ruqing was not very well-informed, he did not know about Gao Pang's tribe of the Song Army, which had been the most active in recent times. The Jin Army was also unwilling to talk about its defeat. Gao Pang intercepted and killed the grain and grass twice and retreated unharmed.
Naturally, they would not speak out about their shame.
Amidst the flying dust on the opposite side, several flags appeared. The first flag was a red "high" flag with the word "Shuai", and the second flag was a red "color" flag with the word "zhao".
The first ones were a few common people who could ride horses, and they were leading the way. At this time, everyone didn't care much, because how could these people be afraid of the common people or bandits who were dressed as civilians in Song Dynasty to serve? Even if they were warlike common people or
Bandits, but ordinary people are ordinary people, and bandits are also ordinary people who gathered together after being "forced" to have no choice. However, it does not mean that they can pick up weapons just by putting down their hoes. Their combat effectiveness is very poor. In the case of Qiankun Swordsman Xia Houdong and others
In front of you, if someone comes to oppose you, it is no different from seeking death.
However, they soon discovered those knights carrying flags and the dense cavalry behind them. It turned out that the common people in the lead were not soldiers carrying flags.
The cavalry behind them were galloping forward and had already seen this transport team consisting of more than 2,000 people. Since they had seen it, they no longer needed to lead the way.
Zhao Zhen shouted: "Put on the mask!" The cavalrymen put down their masks, various masks, including saw-toothed rats, tusked cattle, roaring tigers, staring rabbits, snarling horses, sharp-toothed rats with all kinds of evil and terrifying looks.
Horned sheep, angry dragon, letter-tongued snake, angry monkey, sharp-toothed dog, ugly pig, sharp-billed chicken, as well as fanged face, ghost face, crying face, smiling face, elephant face, Shura face, etc.
Suddenly, it was like a hundred ghosts came out. With the mask, your expression was not known to the enemy. And looking at these terrifying masks, wouldn’t the enemy be frightened at all? They must be somewhat chilled.
Qiankun Swordsman Xia Houdong and others immediately drew their weapons, Zhao Ruqing said: "Wait a minute..." The person opposite was obviously the Song Army. If it makes sense, it would be a good idea. Just by looking, Zhao Ruqing could understand that these Song Army soldiers were different from ordinary
The Song army is different. The Song army that can withstand the Jin army on the front line is not easy to deal with. If something bad happens, that will not be good.
