Until this moment, Zhang Xuguo pinched his gray beard and exhaled heavily... He never expected that he had fought such a beautiful battle quickly and recovered almost the entire Lu County, but he had not gained anything.

Support and reward.

The soldiers of Lu County who had surrendered the thieves returned home. Instead of staying on their own terms, they helped the gangsters from the Deposed Dragon Gang to spread rumors all over the place. It seemed that the entire Lu County was in the state it was in now, as if it was all his fault.

Why can't local officials fulfill their duties?

Why can't people live and work in peace and contentment?

Why do you believe in the gangsters of the Deposed Dragon Gang and not yourself?

"The rebels of the Deposed Dragon Gang have been released... Zhishi Army has also been released." Jia Wugen hesitated for a moment and then spoke carefully. "Junjun, the common people are short-sighted, should we also release food?"

"In the past, when we put grain in Qi County, we put it out first when we had it." Zhang Xuguo sighed, but there was also a hint of anxiety. "But here in Lu County, the grain was stolen and the thieves put half of the grain according to the autumn grain. Let's go again

Release, how much? If you release too much, how will you maintain the military rations? If you release too little, you will be afraid and ungrateful. And... and after all, it is Lu County, not Qi County. It is my responsibility to release the food of this county. Lu County

What is this place?"

Everyone either sighed, got irritated, or didn't understand.

Then, Captain Fan Hu seriously reminded: "General, there is one more thing. Now that spring plowing has begun, that is, to release grain, the people are not willing to come out to work as servants. Even further down, the people of Lujun around will feel that...

It was us who delayed spring plowing and ruined our plans for the year."

"If it doesn't work, forget it. Just capture some strong men." Yu Baimei was furious and was the first to give up thinking. "First, renew the military rations."

"It's not that we can't capture strong men by force, but I'm just afraid that if we capture them by force today, they will become new thieves when they leave tomorrow." Jia Wugen said with an expressionless face, and said the truth. "The people of the East, what's wrong with the army?

How afraid are you of the corvee, do you still need to tell me?"

This sentence seemed to hit Zhang Xuguo's weakness. The Qijun Tongshou became increasingly frustrated, so he simply stood up without saying a word, put his hands behind his hands and walked out.

Leaving the tent, he waited for the temporary rammed-earth general platform, ignoring the corpses that had not yet been cleaned up, and then looked around... In the past, he usually only looked at the enemy's and enemy's military arrangements in and around the city, plus the geographical situation.

, but I rarely watched anything else today.

There were still smoke curling up from the villages in his sight, but Zhang Xuguo knew that the people had long since disappeared from the villages, and they had all turned into camps where Qijun soldiers were stationed. The soldiers were cooking. The surrounding hard ground had long been trampled on.

, in fact, it was originally cultivated land, but the fields and ridges had long been leveled.

Only some wheat seedlings that had just emerged under the camp stubbornly proved something... These messy wheat seedlings that had grown on their own due to the previous harvesting should have been uprooted and then plowed and sown again, but at this time, due to the stubbornness of the weather,

Growing there, it seems to be mocking the soldiers and farmers in this place at the same time.

"Divide two thousand troops with Fan Hu to transport the grain in person, and recruit men from several cities. Specialize in recruiting scoundrels and merchants. Two or three thousand will be enough. It doesn't matter if the noise is louder." After watching for a long time, Zhang Xuguo said.

Suddenly he turned around and gave instructions to the people behind him. "Let Fan Bao and the others approach slowly from Dongping..."

"Are you still dividing your troops to lure the enemy?" Fan Hu was stunned for a moment.

"I'm just afraid that Li Shu is a wise man and won't fall into the trap." Zhang Xuguo responded seriously.

No one can tell the difference anymore.

However, time passed quietly, and in the late first month of the first month, when spring plowing was in full swing, Li Shu did not move... and the logistics of Qijun's soldiers and horses became increasingly difficult, and there was even an attack by a bandit team formed by a small group of previously broken troops.

Zhang Xuguo divided his troops three times and asked Yu Baimei to lead 500 people to sweep the place.

But Li Shu still didn't move.

At this time, the official document about the beginning of riots in Qi County arrived in front of Zhang Xuguo's case. The old man who had won many battles on the battlefield finally gave up his struggle and chose to retreat.

His military ability seems to have no room to display in front of Li Shu's rumors and some gold and silver.

"What do you say?" Zhang Xuguo suddenly stopped in the north of Gongqiu City, by the Wen River, and then waited for Zhang Changgong's return.

"No movement." Zhang Changgong said. "The soldiers and horses in the city have not moved at all, and Xiong Bonan is still in the city."

Zhang Xuguo immediately shook his head...Obviously, he was ready to bite back and strike back, but unfortunately, Li Shu got his stance right and still didn't move.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Changgong hesitated for a moment and continued to report: "But that Cheng Dalang went out of the city alone, and he was settling the case at our camp below the city."

Like everyone else, Zhang Xuguo was at a loss: "What case should we conclude?"

"Divide the land into ridges." Zhang Changgong answered seriously, and you couldn't see the expression behind the mask. "As soon as we left, farmers who didn't know where they were going swarmed back. The Qianlong Gang gave them military rations to make seeds for them. Their own

It seems that we have saved some, so we started to cultivate the land while selecting seeds... But before we set up camp and smoothed the ridges, there were often disputes about who occupied whose land. Cheng Zhili was arrested by the commander-in-chief

He shot an arrow and his legs were not healed, but he still came out to judge cases and disputes... He said that it was all about conferring land and re-drawing the land."

Zhang Xuguo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, he just felt cold all over.

For a long time, he still didn't know that the queen was robbed by the Deposed Dragon Gang, and he made a final conclusion: "The only disaster in the world lies with the Deposed Dragon Gang!"

After shouting, they had no choice but to order the entire army to go east along the Wenshui River and withdraw to Qi County.

"Do you think the disaster in the world lies in the Deposed Dragon Gang or in Guanlong Neili?" Almost at the same time, thousands of miles away in Dongdu City, in the black tower, Emperor Cao's eyes were almost splitting.

Amidst the chaotic and noisy sound of wind chimes, the seven or eight red ribbons and a dozen black ribbons in front of the Grand Master were as silent as cicadas.

Can Uncle Cao be allowed to leave the Queen after being invited by Zhang Xing, chop off the hand of his second eunuch, defeat the three most elite patrol teams, clear out Liang County, and rebel against half of Liang County?

You can still ask this question...of course there is a good reason.

It sounds funny, but it is true. In order to fight against the tyranny of Uncle Cao, the Guanlong clan chose to stop farming.

That's right, they probably occupy more than 60 to 70% of the land in Guanlong. As the largest and most orthodox ruling group in the world, the military leaders of Guanlong began to protest, and they adopted a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude... Spring plowing was approaching, but they refused to farm.

Land, there are rumors that unless Uncle Cao stops snatching private slaves from them to serve as soldiers, he will wait for everyone to eat a few large warehouses of old grain.

Luokou warehouse, Liyang warehouse, and Guangtong warehouse are full of grain. I don’t believe you, Uncle Cao, won’t send grain.

When Uncle Cao is in power, can people still starve to death?

Not only that, those people in the Nanya Assembly Hall were still urging Uncle Cao to send troops as soon as possible to quell the rebellion in Nanyang and take away the troops used to deal with the Wu brothers to fight against Zhang Xing, the number one rebel in Jiyin.

Or maybe Emperor Cao could go there in person and crush to death the traitor who was said to have condensed his elixir.
