Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 69
Food and grass is the primary problem to be solved by the Ming army.

Now Hong Chengchou asked He Huchen if he had enough food and grass, could he pile up a mountain of earth in ten days?

He Huchen pondered for a while and shook his head: "There are no peasants around Ganquan County. If the soldiers are piled up on a mountain without equipment, ten days will not be enough."

Shovels, picks, dustpans, and carts are not enough.

There were quite a lot of soldiers in the guard running overnight, and there were not enough manpower.

It is simply impossible to let the elite soldiers under him do this kind of work, then they will rebel.

Hong Chengchou nodded, indicating that he understood.

It is very difficult to attack Ganquan County now.

Since He Jinzhao is not a soft persimmon, let's shift the focus to the group of thieves in Fan's Manor.

Hong Chengchou was not a strong man either, he tried his best to exhaust all his elite soldiers to pull out a city.

If he really wanted to do this, the rebellious cities in Shaanxi would far exceed the number of soldiers under his command, and it would not be worthwhile to fill them with human lives.

If you can't find a place with He Jinzhao, then go to other rogues to find a place. In short, you have to get back the lost morale.

To put down the rebellious bandits in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou's designated strategy is to first make it easy and then difficult, to accumulate the morale of the soldiers under his command little by little, and to wear down the morale of the rogues little by little.

If things go on like this, the thieves in Shaanxi will surely be put down.

Since he led the army, he has not lost a single defeat. Even though he only lost more than [-] people today, for Hong Chengchou, he has already lost to He Jinchao once.

He will find this place sooner or later, but not now.

"Since this is the case, we will pretend to besiege Ganquan County and slowly pile up the soil, but in fact we will deal with the thieves in Fan's Manor."

Hong Chengchou made a decision and set the tone again, and He Huchen was the first to express his approval of Hong Chengchou's strategy.

Because their servants are not used to attack the city.

In field battles, a few hundred servants can drive tens of thousands of bandits away, and it is really difficult to fight a fortified battle.

The two leaders of the civil and military suppression bandits reached an agreement, and the people under them would not say anything else.

"My lord, we only have enough food for one meal. Are we really not going to withdraw our troops?"

Li Bei was a little worried, so He Jinchao sent someone to deliver a letter to Wang Jiayin and the others, telling them to attack back and forth.

There is no food in the army, and it is always a taboo for military strategists.

Could it be possible that Lord Hong also wanted to bring in the food and grass officer to chop down the morale of the army?

"Yesterday, a food delivery team was dispatched, and today I went to urge them to arrive here before dark. He Renlong, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

Crazy He received the military order, took his family members, rode a few horses across Ganquan County, and rushed to Fu County to transport the grain and grass back as soon as possible, otherwise the cooking should be cut off.

"Give me the military order to immediately set up camp and make a gesture of staying outside the city for a long time. I will not let He Jinzhao's plan succeed."

"Yes."

After Hong Chengchou gave an order, someone immediately went down to make arrangements, and the night attack that happened early this morning would never happen again.

"Carefully screen the soldiers in the army and check whether there are any remnants of rebels."

"Yes."

"Mr. Ning, take someone to collect dry firewood and see if you can catch prey and touch some fish and shrimp."

"Okay." He Huchen also took the military order and went out to work.

Li Bei was the only one left in the camp.

"Li Bei, come here with your ear, I want you to do something."

After hearing this, Li Bei's expression changed drastically.

"My lord, are you threatening King Qin?"

"He's still not King Qin!"

Hong Chengchou ordered Li Bei to go to Xi'an to find Qin Shizi Zhu Cunji, who was only canonized as Qin Shizi this year.

King Qin is descended from the lineage of Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Xi. So far, there are 18 people. Zhu Cunji's elder brother Zhu Cunshu, the eldest son of Qin Suwang Zhu Yifu, died of illness in March this year and has no children.

Therefore, Zhu Cunji, the concubine's second son of the previous generation of King Qin, was named King Qin's son, but he did not become King Qin.

Hong Chengchou's meaning is very simple, who doesn't know that the vassal king is the richest and occupies a lot of fertile land.

Go to him to get a large amount of food and consume it with He Jinzhao.

Hong Chengchou wanted Qin Wangshizi Zhu Cunji to "show performance". If the prince and heir didn't agree to donate food, he threatened to drive all the rebels to Xi'an mansion.

If he is willing to help, then wait until he puts down the thieves, and he must say a few words to His Majesty for him, and strive to make him the King of Qin as soon as possible.

With a big stick and sweet dates, I don't believe that Zhu Cunji dared to stab it.

Li Bei heaved a long sigh, how could the feudal lord support us with food and grass, many remote clans were hungry and full.

The rations were all withheld by the King of Qin, and they were not distributed at all.

Now that the previous king of Qin is dead, is this son of Qin a good talker?

"Don't worry, if Shizi Qin is not stupid, he will definitely agree to your request."

Hong Chengchou is not a good person. He said that he was suppressing the rebellion for the common people.
It's not for the emperor to see, and then he can get a better promotion!
So for his own official career, offending the feudal lord is nothing at all.

Driving all the rebels to the wealthy Xi'an will frighten Shizi Qin to give food support immediately, whoever makes the vassal king the richest.

If the poor people don't rob his wealth for redistribution, who else can they rob?
"Go ahead, if something happens, I will take care of it."

Having said all this, Li Bei didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately accepted the order, asking for a blank stamp, lest Qin Shizi would not trust him as a martial artist.

Inside the Fan Family Manor.

Wang Jiayin and others had breakfast and sent people out to inquire about the situation in Ganquan County.

Hong Chengchou chased everyone without any power to fight back, how long can He Jinchao's small force resist?
"Brothers, it's our turn for the next fierce battle." Wang Jiayin didn't have much confidence in He Jinzhao either.

Even though he was known to be a good seedling for rebellion, if he died, he was still just a seedling and could not grow into a towering tree.

"Don't panic, chief." Cao Cao and Luo Rucai patted his stomach lightly: "We have food in our stomachs, so don't panic at all. Those dog officers and soldiers don't have much food left."

Another leader, Wang Ziyong, shook his head and said: "Once Hong Chengchou takes Ganquan County, he will have food in his hands, and we have to fight the army. Don't let your guard down."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sigh, saying that He Jinzhao is a good person or something, but it is a pity that he will definitely not be good for Hong Chengchou.

Who the hell can beat Hong Chengchou?
People have soldiers, they have generals, and since leading the army, the rebels who fought have no power to fight back.

Gao Yingxiang frowned when he heard that many leaders of the rebel army were not optimistic about He Jinzhao, and shook his head secretly. This group of people would not expect the good of a single person.

He believed that with He Jinzhao's means, if he couldn't resist for three days, it would be a waste of his favoring him.

"King Gao Chuang, why are you shaking your head?" Wang Jiayin attaches great importance to Gao Yingxiang, after all, he is like the image of "Zhao Zilong" in a novel.

Who doesn't love such a fierce general!

"Everyone, do you look down on He Jinzhao too much?"
