Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 331 Yandi Han People
Naturally, Hu Biao couldn't be like Cao Mengde, who would find a substitute to kill the dead when there was a shortage of food, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

As for the problem of killing horses and eating meat, it is not impossible.

The key is that now, not only the rice noodles and jerky they eat are almost finished, but even some beans that the horse eats are also basically eaten up.

If the war horses are fed some grass, it doesn't mean that it can't do it at all, but it still needs to be mixed with a lot of concentrate.

Otherwise, under the current high-intensity use of traveling every day, believe it or not, these war horses will lose fat soon, resulting in a rapid drop in horsepower.

So after thinking about it in his heart, Hu Biao still waved the guide Qian Fu over.

After Qian Fu patted his horse and arrived, Hu Biao asked:
"Besides the Jizhou City, where else can we get some food supplies? It doesn't matter if you buy it with money or exchange it with war horses."

Instead of going directly to Jizhou City to buy grain, Hu Biao was mainly worried:
Such a large group of people is too ostentatious, and it will be troublesome if a large number of Liao soldiers are targeted.

But apart from this kind of area, after Hu Biao and the others came here for so many days, although all the brave fighters in the battalion were not good enough to fight on horseback, they didn't have to worry about riding on horseback.

Even if you encounter something, you don't have to worry about it at all.

After hearing the words, Qian Fu lowered his head and thought for a while, then he had an answer in his mouth:
"Hu Xuanzan, the villain knows that it is possible to get food and grass supplies in a place; but there is no absolute guarantee, and it will take half a day's journey. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Lead the way." Hu Biao immediately yelled out a sentence...

About three hours later, the place that Qian Fu talked about where he might have obtained food and grass supplies had already appeared in front of Hu Biao and others.

In fact, this is a Wubao called Lijiatunzi.

It is said that there are a total of men, women, old and young, totaling about a thousand people, living collectively in such a large village.

Just by hearing the name 'Lijiatun', one can know that this is a gathering place for a group of northern Han people; and among the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Han people are also the largest group of people, so this incident is not surprising at all.

But even so, after hearing the above news, Hu Biao had more expectations in his heart.

After all, in his heart, instinct means that everyone is of the same line as the Han family, and they can have some incense for each other no matter what.

Not to mention allowing them to directly support some fodder, everyone's normal transaction should not be a problem.

Unexpectedly, Hu Biao soon realized that he still thought too much about all this.

When Hu Biao and others saw Lijiatun from a distance, they could see that there was a Wubao with a two to three meter earth wall, and there were a lot of large wheat fields outside.

The wheat seedlings in the wheat field are now in the grain filling period, and they can be harvested in a month at most.

Therefore, during this critical period, there are at least hundreds of people in the wheat field, busy with watering, fertilizing and other operations in the wheat field.

It's just that on a sentry tower above the wall of the village, one of the sentries saw a group of people from the Xuange camp approaching with two horses from a distance.

Immediately, holding a copper gong, he kept beating 'kuangkuangkuang~'.

Amidst a burst of loud gongs, those people who were busy working in the wheat field all retreated into the Wubao in a hurry at the first moment.

After Hu Biao and others drove to a stone's throw away from Wubao.

A suspension bridge in Wubao has been pulled up high, and all the people have evacuated, leaving only some straw sandals outside.

On the top of the wall of the village, there were about two or three hundred people rushing up all at once.

In addition to most of the young and strong men, there are also a small number of strong women; without exception, they all hold knives, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, and they look like they are facing a big enemy.

If it was only for such a scene, Hu Biao could actually understand it.

After all, in the current chaotic world, it is completely understandable that we can survive with difficulty if we have more vigilance and more precautions.

But Hu Biao not only didn't understand some of the subsequent developments, but couldn't help frowning heavily.

******
Outside Lijiatun, Hu Biao and others stopped far away without taking up any weapons, so as not to cause misunderstandings among the people in the wall.

It's just that Qian Fu took Hu Biao, and the two of them approached slowly at least.

Qian Fu, the former, yelled loudly:
"I don't know if Mr. Li is still in good health. I am Qian Fu, the steward of the Jingfu Merchant Caravan. I don't know if anyone in Lijiatun still remembers me."

Under such a statement, everyone on the wall of Wubao Village relaxed a little.

Not long after, a voice came down, very lazily: "It turns out that it's money in charge, I haven't seen you for a while, I don't know what the hell is going on here in such a remote place like us ?”

"I'm passing through your land, and I'm a little short of food and fodder. I want to exchange fifteen shi for flour and twenty shi for soybean meal to feed horses in your fortress. You can buy it with silver, or exchange it with war."

Qian Fu's mouth immediately replied.

Under such a request, the Walled Wall was silent for about a minute or two, and after that, they gave an extremely outrageous reply:

"There is no need for silver money. Now there are rebels everywhere, and you can't buy anything with gold and silver. Just exchange it with your horses? Just exchange it with five horses."

Originally, in this transaction, Hu Biao, who spoke a southern accent, did not intend to speak, so as not to reveal his identity.

But after hearing the above transaction content, Hu Biao couldn't help but speak.

What the hell!Such a small amount of food and fodder should be exchanged for five of their best war horses. Isn't this a lie?

"Don't say that everyone is an old friend, how can you say that they are also descendants of the Han family, why are you so harsh; the folks in Lijiatun don't care about your blood at all?
Let’s just say it bluntly, we are all from the Song Dynasty, can it be cheaper. "

However, such a statement was exchanged for a group of laughter on the wall of the village.

Amid such laughter, Hu Biao became more and more annoyed.

It even made Hu Biao suddenly realize that in the future, no matter whether it is the Jin army attacking the Song Dynasty or the Yuan army destroying the Song Dynasty, the main force in the battle will actually be the Han army.

Without the help of these people, the corrupt Song Dynasty might not be able to be destroyed.

It seems that I am really too naive, thinking that these people can have a little incense, I think too much!
Before the people on the wall could say anything, it was Hu Biao and the others who rescued him in a village in Zhuozhou a few days ago. They thought he was a fool, but he followed the Xuange camp.

With a sneer all over his face, he spoke with great emotion:

"Both children of the Han family? This is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life.

Ever since Shi Jingtang, the land of Yan has never heard of the Central Plains court. When we were bullied by the Khitan and Xi people, where was the Song Dynasty, and where were the Han compatriots over there? "

Hearing such a statement, Hu Biao originally wanted to refute something.

But when all the words reached his lips, they immediately turned pale.

In any case, after all, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were too useless, that is, when the country was founded, there was a northern expedition, and the subsequent emperors did not even dare to do it.

As a result, the Han people in Yandi had to struggle to survive under the hands of Khitan and Xi people.

In the end, amidst the great depression, everything turned into one sentence: "Okay, five horses will be five horses, change~"

In this way, at Lijiatun Wubao, Hu Biao and others exchanged the high price of five war horses for food and horse feed that could last for another three to five days.

In the following time, the more than 500 people in the Xuange camp continued to move forward.

On the subsequent journey, as they headed north, this kind of dock kept appearing in front of their eyes, often in a whole day, they could see as many as two or three.

As for the villages like Song Jing, there are, but without exception, there is no human habitation.

The modern plane, these densely populated and prosperous places, is now desolate and scary.

The only thing that can be thankful is that the speed of Hu Biao and the others has finally increased again; in the evening of February 28, Pingzhou City was already twenty miles away...
