Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 223 A World With More Men and Less Women 15
There is also the process of Zhang Wentian's uprising, which is even more made up by people. According to those people, Zhang Wentian's ability only occupies five prefectures, even five provinces.

If the news heard outside is more complicated, then the news obtained from lurking in the government office for a few days should be regarded as the fastest and most accurate news in this city.

According to what An Ran overheard from the government office, the situation is not as scary as the common people said. Zhang Wentian has indeed hit the neighboring provinces, but there is a natural moat between the neighboring provinces and this province. Right now Zhang Wentian has not crossed the river, so there is no need to be so afraid in this province. Of course, although the enemy has not yet crossed the river, there is no need to worry too much, but we still have to be prepared, so several high-level officials in this government, including civil servants, prefects, etc. People, military officers, garrison guerrillas, etc., all plan to make strategic shifts if something goes wrong, to save the fighting fire for the court-in fact, it is a glorified expression of fleeing.

Hearing these news, An Ran thought that she could relax for the time being, and at the same time confirmed that the common people in the restaurant were right to trust the officials of the city. There is no ability to make money. If Zhang Wentian really calls, don't count on them.

Although An Ran was relieved for the time being, she still planned to cross the river and go to Zhang Wentian's territory on the other side of the river to see if Zhang Wentian restrained these rebels well. Those who rebel, after all, since the people in Qingshan Village are afraid of the servants going to the countryside, and then they have corn and sweet potatoes and can’t eat enough, An Ran can understand that this imperial court is probably rotten to the root—yes, An Ran has sort of solved the previous problem at this moment. Seeing the high-yield crops of corn and sweet potatoes, the He family was confused because they were still not able to eat enough, because the higher-ups collected too many miscellaneous taxes. With such a court, it would be a fool to go to the army to earn military merits. It is better to rebel and see if you can find a job in the new dynasty.

If the discipline is not strict, and they are used to burning, killing and looting, then she will not join their forces. Go back to this prefecture to see if the other party will come. The family blocked the trouble, so she didn't have to go back.

Of course, she doesn't have to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in this mansion to meet the enemy here. After all, she is a stranger, and she doesn't have to cooperate with them. Organize the remaining soldiers and civilians to resist the incoming enemy, and then slowly develop after resisting the enemy. Yes, after understanding this period of time, she does not intend to take refuge in this corrupt court and help the evildoers, but she must If she doesn't take refuge in the imperial court or Zhang Wentian, she can only make troubles on her own. Anyway, according to the news she has inquired these days, there are indeed wars raging all over the world. own this one.

Just do what you say, and An Ran came to the side of Yongjiang that day.

The Yongjiang River is that great river, similar to the Yangtze River in reality. The section of the river bordering Yunyang Mansion is wide and rushing, and the mountains on both sides are dangerous. No wonder the old god of the prefect of Yunyang Mansion is here, so I don’t have to be afraid of it, yes, there is such a thing There is a natural barrier, unless Zhang Wentian disembarks from the section of the river that borders other prefectures, otherwise he will not be able to disembark; and if he wants to disembark from other prefectures, then he has to worry about other prefectures, Yunyang The government still doesn't have to worry about it for a while.

However, although the old god is present in the magistrate of Yunyang Prefecture, in order to guard against the rebels on the other side, they still sent people to patrol the riverside, and there is not a single boat on the riverside. It is obviously impossible for An Ran to pass here, so An Ran watched After a stop, she went upstream—she had already inquired, and there was a relatively narrow river for a hundred miles upstream, and both sides of the bank were still in the hands of the imperial court, so it should be possible to cross the river.

Sure enough, as An Ran thought, when he arrived at the place the next day, there was indeed a boat on the river, so An Ran took the boat and crossed the river.

After crossing the river, An Ran found that the prefecture here was completely different from the Yunyang Mansion which was blocked by a natural moat. There was a lot of noise here, and the investigation was extremely strict, for fear that spies would enter the city.

There are also heavy soldiers guarding the city wall, with a dignified expression, for fear that the rebel army who is not far from him will break through the neighboring prefecture and rush here.

As a matter of fact, unless there are some residents of the city, no residents from other places come in and out at all. I guess everyone knows that this place is the front line, dangerous, and no one wants to stay here. , obviously those who escaped mostly fled.

So An Ran saw that the gate of the city was not easy to enter, so she didn't enter, and directly rushed to Zhang Wentian's territory with the burden on her back.

The closer to Zhang Wentian's territory, the heavier the atmosphere of war.

Not far from this riverside prefecture, we came to the front line - Dingxi Mansion.

In Dingxi Mansion, apart from the elderly who couldn’t walk and didn’t want to leave, there were basically no ordinary civilians. They were all soldiers. Outside the city wall was the position of the rebels. Before she came, she had heard that the rebels were attacking the city. I understand that the purpose of the rebel army attacking this city is to reach the narrower part of the river and cross the river, so as to plunder supplies from the south of the river, which is richer than the north of the river.

Since there were no ordinary civilians around except the two warring parties, An Ran naturally couldn't get close to her at will, lest she be caught by both sides as spies of the other side. Fist, unstoppable courage, that is an exaggeration in the storybook novels. In reality, martial arts masters in the low martial arts world can defeat the sky with one enemy and a hundred. They are about to be surrounded by the army. Breaking through hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, don't even think about it.

Because she couldn't get close to the warring parties, An Ran just watched from the closest distance, and then left, lurking in the nearby countryside.

Anyway, she doesn't want to help anyone, but just wants to see how the discipline of Zhang Wentian's army is doing. It is suitable to lurk in the nearby countryside. See how Zhang Wentian's troops behave in the countryside, and you can generally know the quality of his team. how was it.

The people in the countryside near Dingxi Prefecture also basically escaped, only some old, weak, sick and disabled who could not escape or were nostalgic for their homeland and did not want to escape.

For example, the old lady Zhang's house that An Ran borrowed is like this.

"I'm over 60 years old, and I won't live long. Even if the thief comes, kill him. Anyway, if I flee from my hometown, I'm afraid I won't survive. It's better to die than to become the soul of a foreign land." In my hometown." Mrs. Zhang said to An Ran like this.

Mrs. Zhang has six sons and a daughter, as well as a large group of grandchildren and grandchildren who have all escaped. Before they left, they also wanted to take Mrs. Zhang with them, but Mrs. Zhang refused to leave, for fear of dying outside. No way, just forget it.
