Chapter 34 Trapped

Yunzhong City is not very big, with two main streets crossing the city. On one main street to the north and south, there is the Langjiang Office of Heng'an Prefecture, the county office, the warehouse, the city god temple, and the functional building of a military city.

However, the magistrate of Yunzhong County has now returned to Shanyang County’s capital because he said he was sick. Now, Liu Wuzhou decided on both military and civil affairs in Yunzhong City.

On both sides of the main street from east to west are residential houses, restaurants, car shops, and even a few folk places with local brothels.

On weekdays, the market in Yunzhong City is not prosperous, and it is full of dust. The so-called restaurants are all home-based brews, and even the meat is sold for three to five days. Military men often get drunk during holidays, just drink some pickled chickens and other things, drinking these thin wines that need to be blown away before they can be eaten.

In the caravan, it is to entertain some caravans who adventure deep into the grassland and travel through the grassland. Every article has to be counted at the core. You sleep in a big shop and bring your own dry food. At most, you can give the store the money for accommodation and some firewood. Moreover, these caravans are full of smells.

As for the local prostitutes, they were doing business with the military and military officials of Yingyang Mansion in Heng'an. As the pressure on the Turks increased, Mayi County cut off the food and wages of Heng'an Mansion. The military officials came a lot less, and the local prostitutes were also neglected in front of the door. For several months, only a few large teapots were lazily basking in the sun at the door to catch lice.

As the pressure exerted by Wang Rengong increased, this military city looked like it was gradually decaying and depressing - although it turned out to be not very good. The military and civilians of Yunzhong City just believed that Liu Wuzhou had a way to deal with it, so they accompanied him to endure hardship in Yunzhong City.

When the autumn festival arrived, Yunzhongcheng suddenly became lively again. Heng'an Yingyang soldiers patrolling the garrison outside were drawn back and patrolled everywhere. On the east-west main street, the restaurant was full of people. The owner of the restaurant had killed dozens of sheep early, and all of them came in handy. Every table was packed with wine, and the table was still full of wine, but the dishes were more than ten times more abundant than before. The merchants from outside were disgusted and still ate and drank.

The carriage shop is even more crowded.

The caravan owners will naturally rent clean houses to move in, while the caravans' escorts and grooms are crowded in the store. Because of the war between the Turks invasion last year, the concentration of the clouds and Mid-Autumn Festival was interrupted for a year, and the market reopened this year. It can be foreseen that the business would have to be broken. The wages of the caravan owners' escorts and grooms have increased a lot compared to previous years.

The wages have increased, and these border men who joined the caravan have naturally become much more spacious. The world is going to be in chaos, and it is useless to save the money. They will come out and ask the owner of the carriage shop to buy some wine and meat. They will form a circle on the big bunk bed, and they will start to drink and make a noise until late at night. The owner of the carriage shop is so happy that he can't see the teeth when counting a penny of copper coins.

As for those local prostitutes, not only did the scattered local prostitutes come back, but many border goddesses who come to do big business have also been added. There is a rare scent of fat floating in Yunzhongcheng.

These local brothels are not deep-seated households, but ordinary houses on the street. When you stand at the door, you can hear suspicious sounds coming from inside. The men from the border gathering outside the door were all excited.

Some of the waiting crowds were obviously taken out to eat meat, and each of them looked nervous. Whenever the voice inside became louder, these teenagers were the targets of ridicule, and some of them were already looking at the stunning attitude of wanting to escape at any time.

This Yunzhong City, which has been streaked by wars and fires, stands tall in the north and has experienced too many hardships in the wind and frost, is rare to hear laughter everywhere.

Even the people in Heng'an Mansion also had high hopes for this autumn festival.

Since the war last year, Heng'an Prefecture has shortage of food and food. Now Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou are hostile. Although the supply of food and food in Wang Rengong is still maintaining, the military pay has not been provided for.

Nowadays, all the Yingyang Mansions are always on the wings. As the wings are always on the wings, it is absolutely impossible to have no salary. But building military equipment, buying war horses, and paying for casualties is still needed. Now, the Yingyang Mansions in Heng'an Mansions can still maintain their leadership charm because of Liu Wuzhou's leadership, but if these poor days continue, it is hard to say what will happen.

Even the food supply that is still hard to maintain is a crumbling rock hanging above Heng'an Yingyang Mansion.

Yunzhong Prefecture was originally a food-deficient place. Last year, when the Turks crossed, the people could escape from Yunzhong City, but the countryside was almost plundered. Yunzhong people had to rely on Shanyang to allocate grain and grass to spend this year's famine, as long as Wang Rengong was still in the name of the prefect of Mayi County, the Great Sui Dynasty.

Liu Wuzhou added a little false head in it, and the military and civilians in Yunzhong tightened their belts, so that they could barely maintain their days.

But what if Wang Rengong cut off the supply of food and fodder? He can still endure it for a while without money. The belly of the military and civilians who have no food will not make sense to you!

Therefore, the expectation of temporarily surviving the difficulties is placed on this autumn festival. In these seven-day festivals, those caravans with the signs of aristocratic families cannot collect any taxes, but the nine-sentence Tatar tribes on the grassland can earn a lot of income. No matter what kind of goods are collected, they can turn to money and food and turn to the ground.

As long as you have money and food in hand, you may be able to survive this winter. As for next year, God knows what changes will happen in the Sui world!

Xu Le and his friends were having a lively event. In addition to adding some topics to Yunzhongcheng and letting the people of Yunzhong know about Xu Le, they also began to prepare for this Yunzhong Mid-Autumn Festival event.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the bustling streets of East and West, a group of people holding horses were looking around.

The people in this group were covered in dust, wrapped in old cloaks, holding bows and soldiers, and hoods covering their heads.

This kind of clothing is not uncommon in Yunzhong City. Most of the people walking on the side roads are dressed in this way. Although this pedestrian did not carry goods with them, who knows if the pedestrian was carrying a bag of hard goods such as sand gold in his waist. After the market, it might have driven hundreds of horses and carried a lot of fur to the south.

Moreover, the city is now full of Heng'an Eagle Racing soldiers, and a team of seven or eight people is ulterior motives and can be dealt with in a blink of an eye. Even if Heng'an Eagle Racing soldiers are not needed in the city, who can't ride a horse or a bow? Without tens of thousands of Turkic wolf cavalry, no one can look at Yunzhongcheng in front of his eyes.

These seven or eight people with their faces were Xu Le and his party.

There was such a stir at the city gate, and it was too much to enter the city. Yuchi Gong escorted them out of the city for a while, and when the people dispersed, they let them enter the city through another city gate.

Since Xu Le, no one wants to enter the city with a swagger. If you kill Yingyang soldiers and fire, you will be safe in the end. It is already a good luck to be able to return. If you enter the city with a high profile and cause cheers and praises from the people in the city, it is really just a word stupid.

Yuchi Gong sent them to the street intersection, bowed and said goodbye, only saying that he would look for the happy husband again tomorrow.

Yuchi Gong was careless and thought of having settled Xu Le and his party, and didn't think about where to go to find Xu Le in the future. Perhaps for this powerful general in the Yunzhong, there would be no meeting in the world.

Xu Le and his friends encountered a big problem.

The big guy didn't have a penny on him, and the goods were still under Yuan Junwei's hands. He had some dry food to eat, but what should he do here?

Everyone walked around the east and west streets, and Song Bao and others looked around, wanting to see if they could bump into someone they knew. The result was probably because they could escape from Yuan Junwei's hands and lost all their luck, and they had never encountered an acquaintance.

After escaping all the way, there was another big fight at the city gate. From Xia Shao to Zhuangke, everyone was so tired that their bones were soft and their muscles were soft. Several people looked at Xu Le unconsciously.

Even Song Bao treated Xu Le as his backbone at this time, just waiting for Xu Le to come up with an idea.

What should we do now? Should we just turn around and go back, take care of dry food and some hunting, maybe it's enough for everyone to support themselves and return to Shenwu County, just pretend that everyone is in vain. Are we really waiting for Liu Wuzhou to return the goods? And God knows when Liu Wuzhou will be able to return the goods. Maybe everyone will be asking for food in Yunzhongcheng at that time!

Now go to Liu Wu and Zhou Lang’s office to block the door and ask for goods, which means he is really looking for death.

Several people looked at each other, and Xu Le, who had been hiding his body, was actually a little murmured in his heart. He had to eat for one day, had a place to sleep at night, and had to pay for business. This is a problem that no matter how brave and smart he is, he could not solve.

Did you just go back in shame? Just accompany Xu Jialu’s belongings that he had worked so hard to get together? How could you have the right to see your grandfather and how could you have the right to see the villagers of Xu Jialu?

The heroic and martial Le Langjun was also a little worried, and the reputation he had established was just a little bit unchanged at this moment. Several people looked at their homes with earnest eyes, which made Xu Le, who had always been very interested, unable to help but subconsciously sweep the streets, as if they were looking forward to a savior from the sky.

At this time, Xu Le couldn't help but complain to Yuchi Gong. It's good that this powerful general in the Yunzhong is good. Don't you want to have a fight? I'll have enough time to help you with my meal!
