Chapter 18: Three consecutive raids

"Yes, yes! The little one will go back to discuss with the lord. The little one will definitely persuade the lord to give food!"

After saying that, the nobleman nodded and left the military tent, quickly rode on the wildebeest and ran back to the city!

The nobles returned to the castle and met the lord, and soon expressed the requests of the enemy outside the city!

"What? One hundred thousand kilograms of grain? Where can I find so much food?" The lord stood up from his seat in shock and asked, "Can you not lose some?"

The nobleman replied helplessly: "Lord, the other party said that if we didn't bring out so much food, they would come in and pick it up in person!"

He aggravated the words "Come in and get in person" and was afraid that the lord would resist to the end if he had a hard head. At that time, the lord would still be the lord, but they were likely to be dead!

After hearing this, the lord collapsed into his seat weakly and said weakly: "But I really don't have so much food. I can only take out 30,000 kilograms of food at most!"

When the nobleman heard the lord's explanation, he turned his eyes and said, "The subordinates can provide three thousand kilograms of food!"

Although the lord was surprised by the other party's generosity, he waved his hand powerlessly: "What's the use of your three thousand pounds? It's still far from it!"

"It's still far from that, it's impossible for the Lord to provide this food alone. Therefore, the subordinates suggest that all the nobles, forces, and civilians in the territory must provide food!"

When the lord heard the noble's suggestion, his eyes lit up and he said, "This idea is good, so follow this method, and you can do it. Today, you must collect all the food!"

After hearing this suggestion, the lord didn't know how much food he could get, and in the end he might not have to take out much food himself. Even if the whole city is not enough, will he make up for the rest soon?

As for how the other people in the city should live without food, he was too lazy to care. It was fine. Now it was an extraordinary period, so he could only care about himself!

As the lord ordered, a wailing sound suddenly sounded in the city. Regardless of the civilians' begging, the few soldiers forcibly plundered their food.

Some soldiers eventually developed into plundering and did everything they could, which made the civilians suffer even more!

But how much food can ordinary civilians have to plunder? The nobles had to set their targets on higher forces.

Under the forced order of the lord, all the nobles and knights in the city paid more than 3,000 kilograms of food. In the end, they actually got nearly 80,000 kilograms of food. He just needed to replenish more than 20,000 kilograms!

In this way, the lord would save nearly 10,000 kilograms of food, which made him very happy and even praised the nobleman!

But ordinary civilians and other powerful people hated this nobleman to the core, wishing they could eat their flesh and sleep with their skin!

The nobles finally arrived at the camp before dark and reported to Di Qinghui: "General, the food is ready, but there are not so many transportation tools in the city and cannot be transported out of the city. I also hope that the general will send someone to transport it!"

Di Qing was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the other party had really collected so much food. He said with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter! Open the city gate and let the general's army enter the city. We will go and transport it in person!"

Di Qing looked at the other party with a little embarrassed look and said, "Don't worry, I promise that after entering the city, I will only carry food, and there will be no problems with anything else! Moreover, if you don't agree, don't blame me for being rude!"

At the end of his speech, Di Qing pretended to be majestic and shouted loudly.

The nobleman was startled by Di Qing's words and nodded quickly, for fear that he would be fully answered, so he was pulled out and chopped! He said, "Okay, I'll go back and let them open the city gate!"

The result was very smooth, and there was no trouble in this territory. The soldiers in the infantry brigade took over the city gate. Behind the city wall, it was too late even if the other party regretted it!

Di Qing also abides by the agreement. After taking out 100,000 kilograms of grain and fifty carriages, he withdrew his troops and left the small town and the territory!

He will continue to lead his army to the second territory, which is also a very critical place, and it is related to whether the caravan can return to the country smoothly!

Therefore, Di Qing led the soldiers of the infantry brigade to rest for a night after arriving outside the city. Regardless of whether the other party had the intention of surrendering or not, he directly ordered the firing!

This was the tenth morning after the expedition. With the rumbling cannons, the walls of the small town in this territory were destroyed, and the entire city was burned out by a fire, and the food that should be robbed was also plundered!

As for the lord of this territory, Kevin has already been to accompany him!

Next, I sent a quick horse to the north to inform Zhou Wu, Di Qing and the others, and said to them: Thank you for your hard work, and now you can go home!

The opening of the passage shocked the surrounding territories, including three larger territories in the north!

When Di Qing led his army to the last territory, the middle-aged lord named Lance had already prepared 100,000 kilograms of food and transported it outside the city, waiting for Di Qing and the others to arrive!

Lord Lance heard that the lord in the north, his neighbor, hesitated for a moment, was caught by the whole city. Even the city was burned out, and the lord castle was smashed by such powerful weapons!

He didn't dare to take another bet, and he tried how good the other party's patience was. His extra preparation was a completely unexpected gain for Di Qing and Lu Su.

So they didn't explain much. Anyway, it was the benefits they got, just make a fortune in silence!

It seems that it is still very effective to let go of the territory in the east. At least the enemy will not have much strong will to resist, which will also facilitate Di Qing and the others, so that they can spend less effort!

Finally, after transporting the last 100,000 kilograms of grain, Di Qing went to the north to prepare to pick up Zhou Wu, Changsun Sheng and the others' caravan!

The messenger who returned said that the caravan had gained a lot. In addition to being filled with fifty trucks of grain, he also harvested a large number of gold and copper coins!

In this way, only ten cars of less precious cargo were sold. If the other ten cars of more precious cargo could be sold, the harvest would be even more amazing.

But for the sake of stability, Changsun Sheng and the others dare not take out these precious goods. They are sure that after taking out these goods, the hostile forces will have more than four small territories this time, but all the territories in this basin!

Therefore, these precious goods were hidden tightly and did not dare to be exposed at all. In this way, many local forces still favored the wealth of the caravan.

However, Zhou Wu and Changsun Sheng are not soft persimmons, they can be easily controlled by individuals!

With the cooperation of both literature and military, the caravan successfully spent this period. In addition, Changsun Sheng used his wisdom to set up many secret tricks in this city and gained a lot of other things!

If you tell them clearly, it would be another story!
