At this time, Tian Feng also rushed to Beihai Kingdom. Three thousand cavalry were divided into three groups and were heading from Qingzhou to the hinterland of Hebei.
Fang Guang, Zhao Yun, together with Guan Hai, and Fatty Tian from Huotutu, Hebei, took the northern route of Linzi, and the army marched along the north of the Yellow River.
If you encounter a large city, go around it. When you encounter Yuan Shao's sentry, tell him to send food to Jizhou as the vanguard of the food team.
Yuan Shao was eager to go south, and Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou were all sending grain to Jizhou.
Thousands of cavalry cruising was a common sight in Hebei at this time. The defense plan sent by Chang Xi was very useful. Unknowingly, Fang Guang's cavalry had been marching in the hinterland of Yuan Shao for more than ten days without any mistakes. Nowhere.
On this day, the young man was riding on his horse, nibbling the fried rice noodles in his hands and swallowing it with just the clear water. The cavalry of less than a hundred people behind him were all under the banner of Chang Xi!
Sinong was eating and eating, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
It turns out that the stone monument in the middle of the avenue, at the border of Pingyuan County, was the same as it was when he and Guan Hai fled two years ago.
The plain is an important area, located between Jizhou and Qingzhou. It is the eastern barrier of Yecheng and one of the important grain stations for Yuan Shaonao.
Fang Guang followed Da Er and stayed in this territory for more than half a year. Now, looking at the so-called public fields that he reformed the tax system and demarcated, there is no trace of the bridges between fields. He can't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and even his mouth is dry. I even forgot to swallow the fried noodles.
Since the army went on an expedition, logistics was the key. Fang Guang's three thousand elite cavalry rushed to Jizhou.
The young man racked his brains and thought about the logistical support methods of the most powerful cavalry in world history, and then trained them before he dared to come south.
In the thousands of years of human history, both the peak of cavalry logistic support and the peak of light infantry maintaining basic survival in harsh environments have been in the east.
The Dongjun cavalry consists of one person and three horses. Although they are brave and elite, they are not a people who have been born on horseback since childhood.
The Han army was allowed to ride cavalry for more than ten days without the horse being able to unsaddle. The soldiers could still do it, but they separated the necks of the mounts and drank the horse's blood to satisfy their hunger.
Fang Guang didn't have time, so he took out the Eastern Han Dynasty version of instant noodles, fried wheat and corn into rice flour, and carried it with him on his war horse.
Although this food is difficult to swallow, it is easy to satisfy hunger and can ensure the basic needs of the army when it is not convenient to attack and plunder.
During the reign of the great minister Nong Changhua, he never tired of fine food and delicate food, and he was quite diligent in the art of wine and meat.
At this time, when leading troops to fight, they took the lead and ate like ordinary troops, so that the troops were convinced!
Seeing Fang Guang in a daze, Zhao Yun and Tian Feng didn't understand what he meant, but Guan Hai knew what he meant and spit on the ground viciously.
"Made, in order to measure the plain land in Datong, I don't know how many pairs of straw sandals were broken!"
"Back then, one county in Pingyuan harvested 8,000 more dendrobiums of grain and rice, but it was still tricked by Big Er. Today, when I return to my old place, if I meet that Chen Jin, labor and management will skin him!"
Guan Hai complained about his birth. Tian Feng, who was standing by him, only knew that Fang Guang had once served as a staff member under Da Er, but he did not expect that this son would actually carry out political reforms as a Yellow Turban Colonel.
He is a poor student of the Julutian clan from a local family in Hebei. He relied on his ability at the bottom and worked his way up to the top in Jizhou.
Tian Feng, who was in charge and organized the revenue of various counties in Hebei, naturally knew the significance of eight thousand more dendrobium harvested from the fields in Pingyuan County.
The fat man had lost a lot of weight after eating fried rice noodles for ten days. Hearing this, his voice trembled, interrupting Guan Hai's words.
"Fang Sinong, did you really harvest eight thousand more dendrobium from the plains by yourself?"
"When Gongsun Zan was defeated at the beginning of the dynasty, I have read the account books of all the prefectures and counties in Jizhou. Pingyuan ranks last in Jizhou every year. How can there be such a harvest?"
"Haha, Yuan Hao, don't you know that account books and rosters are all things that can be faked?"
"Eight thousand dendrobium. I still know Liu Xuande's temperament. Gongsun Zan can take at most eight hundred dendrobium. In addition, Gongsun Zan was destroyed by Yuan Shao. This little food and grass has long been greedy. How can it be in the eyes of the minister?"
"It's a pity that I divided the land until the third watch, and the extra grain I harvested never reached the people's mouths!"
Fang Guang took a quick look and saw an old man with a white beard on the side of the road, holding his granddaughter's hand and picking wild vegetables.
He knew that Yuan Shao's administration of the county was quite lenient, but he did not expect that there was still the matter before him. It was busy farming time, and the old man and his children, although old and weak, should be regarded as the labor of the family.
If you are not working in the fields right now, you must have no land at home, or there is too little land.
"Brother Guan, bring some dried meat to those two people. The people in the plains are simple and honest, but they were defeated by hypocrites like Big Er!"
The young man took a deep breath and looked at Guan Hai next to him. Hearing this, his face darkened. He took out the dried meat that he couldn't bear to part with, and rode up to a pair of old and weak people.
Fang Guang wanted to do something big. After doing good deeds, he was about to leave when he saw the old man holding the little girl's hand and walking towards him.
The young man's heart moved, he got off his horse and took a few steps to meet him.
"My lord, this lord, I have given you more rewards. The little old man is fine. It's just the girl who hasn't eaten meat for half a year!"
"Is the official sending grain? Chen Tingpu is in the city, waiting to collect grain~!"
Hearing the familiar Pingyuan accent, the young man's face became kinder.
Tingpu is a county official, no matter how big or small, responsible for rural affairs. When he heard the word "Chen", he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"My father-in-law, I am not a school captain, so how can I be called an official? I also lived in Pingyuan for a while, but I didn't know that the Chen Tingpu mentioned by my father-in-law is the Chen family of Pingyuan?"
"Exactly, it's Chen Jin, the head of the Chen family. He is the official who donated the money. He has an old relationship with General Gao Lan. Now he has great authority to levy grain. Even the county magistrate and county lieutenant give way to him!"
"The Chen family's grain pile is as big as a small mountain. If we harvest more grain and grass, I'm afraid it will be even higher!"
When the old man talked about Ting Tong, his face was full of contempt. Although the little granddaughter beside him was young, she was very sensible. She seemed to be afraid that her grandfather would cause trouble. She quickly pulled the old man's sleeves a few times and looked nervously at the overly handsome man. The captain of the school.
"I see, Chen Jin was Liu Xuande's favorite back then. Unexpectedly, he is now on Gao Lan's lap. That's really awesome!"
“Old man, it’s busy farming time now, why are you here instead of farming?”
"Farming is busy, and only those with land can be busy. Those without land and strength have to be tenants of the Chen family, but there is no way!"
"It's okay for the little old man to starve to death, but I have to pity Juan'er who has no father and mother!"
Every common person in Jizhou is so worried. The land annexation has reached this level. Not only Fang Guang's face turned gloomy, but also Fatty Tian, who boasted that Hebei was still in the Qingming Dynasty, his face suddenly turned red.
At a glance, there were more than a dozen people, old and young, picking wild vegetables on the plain road. Fang Guang and Tian Feng, a cold light flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"Since there is a grain station in Pingyuan City, it is the place we are looking for. Come on, come on, take me into the county town. Little sister, get on the horse!"
Fang Guang was riding a red rabbit, which was very eye-catching. The little girl kept secretly looking at such a big red horse.
At this time, when he heard Fang Guang's invitation, he glanced at his grandfather excitedly, took the young man's arm, and was lifted up to the horse.
