My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 79 I’m here to borrow food, do you agree?

In the afternoon, the soldiers and wounded soldiers in the battalion were still in an exciting atmosphere. A troop of 500 soldiers and horses rushed out from the city gate and headed northwest to the official road of Yunqi County.

The three hundred infantrymen's armors are not uniform, some are thick iron armors, and some are thin leather armors. The two hundred cavalrymen are separated from Zhang Liao's cavalry. They are currently led by Su Chen to Yunqi, with Zhang behind him. Jiao and Dianwei followed.

"What you said today was very good and timely." Zhang Jiao rushed forward and said beside Su Chen.

"After winning the battle and still not having enough to eat, we lost military morale. We had to do something no matter what. What I said was to delay it for a while so that I could come over and borrow some food from here."

Zhang Jiao knew this very well. The Yellow Turban Army was so excited and invincible when they first started. Unfortunately, hunger still existed. Gradually, as the excitement passed, morale and military discipline became worse than before, and many people began to burn and kill. Looting completely deviated from his original intention.

"From now on, you must fulfill what you tell them."

Su Chen nodded, "They will get what they deserve, no matter how much they deserve."

While they were talking, they had arrived outside the city gate of Yunqi County. The soldiers guarding the city knew who Su Chen was, and they only led a few hundred soldiers, so they naturally let them in with confidence.

Yun Zhen had never experienced a war. After entering the city, the streets were bustling with people. When they saw the team approaching, they hurried to the side of the street. You could smell the bloody smell on the armor every seven or eight steps. The timid person's face turned pale on the spot. .

"This is the Ding'an Army that defeated the imperial court's [-]-strong army?"

"It's so scary. These people are like a group of evil spirits crawling out of the dead."

"I have seen the soldiers of Marquis Yun, and compared with them, they look like children."

"Look at that man, he's so tall. My trash can only reach his chest at most. If this happens to a woman, who can bear it..."

"Hey, that leader is the third young master of the Su family? He's so handsome...who is the old man next to him? He looks kind and kind, but with the paint on his eyebrows, he doesn't look like a good person."

There were a lot of chatter on both sides of the street. It wasn't until the team of 500 people disappeared at the corner at the end of the street that they dispersed and continued to do their own things.

On Su Chen's side, the team walked through another street and stopped at a mansion in the northwest of the city. The guard guarding the gate of the mansion paused neatly when he saw hundreds of people, and then faced over. A pair of eyes looked like it was... It was like a murderous intention enveloped them, and they felt cramps in their calves.

They stepped forward cautiously and raised their hands towards Su Chen, who was striding away from his horse: "Third... Young Master, wait... for a moment. The young one is going to find his master..."

"No, I'm familiar with this place!"

Su Chen walked straight past the guard. Others came to stop him, but he was bumped by Dian Wei who was walking towards him. He flew out and hit the heavy door leaf.

Zhang Jiao glanced at the two guards on the other side. With just one look, they felt cold and trembling all over, unable to move.

The servants who heard the noise nearby came over to check, and saw more than a dozen figures coming in. They quickly turned around and rushed to the front courtyard. At this time, they had already had lunch, and Fang Wenye left his son from the third room talking in the hall. It's probably because of the Su family's affairs.

"Since the third son doesn't want to separate the family, let's move away." Fang Wenye looked at his three older sons and felt a little disappointed with them.

At this time, the servant ran over quickly: "Master, it's not good, the third son of the Su family has come to the house with troops."

"what?!"

The people in the first, second and third bedrooms all stood up. Fang Wenye patted the table and told them to sit down: "Don't make a fuss and lose the face of my Fang family!"

As he said that, the old man asked the servant outside: "How many people did he bring?"

"There were about 500 people. The little one didn't see clearly, so he hurried over to report the news."

Fang Wenye stood up abruptly and was about to speak when Su Chen's voice came from outside: "Is Mr. Wen Ye coming out to greet you? That junior is going to lose his life!"

As far as the three Fang brothers and the old man could see, Su Chen, who was walking past the Feng Shui Wall, came towards this side with a ferocious giant, an immortal old man, and a dozen soldiers.

Compared with when they first met in Ding'an, his appearance and demeanor were different. His skin color was a little darker, and his figure was stronger and taller than before. There was a faint aura of a superior person in his movements. Su Chen walked directly across the threshold into the hall and came to the room. Wen Ye cupped his hands in front of him.

"Junior Su Changsheng has met Mr. Wen Ye."

"General... General, please take a seat." The old man originally wanted to ask directly what the other person was doing at his house, but when he met Su Chen's eyes, he felt as if he had seen the corpses of thousands of people, and his spine went... I felt a chill.

Fang Jinxue also came over and handed over his hand: "Longevity."

"Uncle, how are you these days?" Su Chen naturally recognized the other person, smiled and gave a gift in return, and sat down on the right side with Zhang Jiao.Fang Jinxue nodded with a smile, and then said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xue is very good at home. Her temper has changed a lot these days and she doesn't go out often."

With that said, he hurried to the door and asked the trembling servant standing next to Dian Wei to go to the backyard to invite the young lady over. The latter, like a powerful man, ran away quickly and disappeared.

On the leader's side, Fang Wenye coughed dryly and reminded his third son to sit down quickly. Then he looked at Su Chen and said, "When the general comes to my house, it really makes me happy. I just don't know what the purpose of the general is when he comes here." ?”

Su Chen didn't beat around the bush and replied straightforwardly: "The army is in urgent need of food, so I came here to borrow food from the Fang family."

"The general is joking. The general's son-in-law has just defeated the imperial court's [-]-strong army. How can there be no food and grass to use?" Fang Wenye said with a smile, and asked the servant to come over and pour tea. After the servant left, he continued: "Big The general doesn't know something, the Fang family is also short of food now..."

"Mr. Wen Ye!" Su Chen's voice was faint, interrupting the old man's words. He blew on the tea stem floating in the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at the old man: "You and I have a deep friendship, why do you need to be so evasive? , The Fang family has been operating in Yunqi for more than a hundred years, and they can't run out of food. The granary in Zhuangzi is probably new food replacing old food. Lend me some emergency supplies, and I will pay you double in the future."

"No." Fang Wenye hesitated for a moment, turned his face away, and muttered: "You are a traitor."

Su Chen pursed his lips and smiled. He put the tea cup back on the table, rubbed his face, then stood up, walked slowly to the center and looked at the dim light outside, "If my soldiers and horses have no food to eat, Now, I can do anything. Let me ask again, do you want to borrow it or not?"

"Su Chen, you are so presumptuous!"

The Fang family is very famous in Yunqiu, and even outside, others are polite to them. At this time, Su Chen's threatening words made some people in the family immediately get angry. Someone in the second room immediately shouted, " This is the Fang family, even if you have soldiers, you will rebel and rebel..."

boom!
Zhang Jiao, who was sitting opposite, took a look and saw thunder rumbling outside.The sudden thunder shook the doors and windows, and everyone in the hall trembled in shock.

"Who told my lord just now that he was presumptuous?!" Dian Wei lowered his head slightly and walked into the door from the outside. He stood completely upright, like a mountain standing in front of them. The black armor with mottled scratches exuded a ferocious aura.

"Master Su!" At this time, Fang Xuejun's voice came from under the eaves. The woman's footsteps were fast, and she rushed here in a hurry. The soles of her feet were smooth as they stepped on the ground for a few steps. When she saw Su Chen looking back, , she quickly stood up and straightened her hair that was a little scattered.Su Chen smiled at her, turned around again, and smiled at the ugly old man opposite.

"At night, I hope to see the Fang family's grain truck. It will provide enough food for three days. I will pay an IOU when the truck comes. If you can't see it, I will come and get it myself. Anyone who dares to stop it will be killed by me."

"You..." The old man gritted his teeth and stared at the other person fiercely.

Fang Xuejun walked around the giant man who looked like a wall, walked to Su Chen, and blinked: "The army is short of food, why don't you send someone to look for me directly? The Fang family has plenty, but they won't give it, so I will. I have two farms and seven granaries outside the city, and I will have them loaded into trucks and sent to Changchuan County later."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Chen felt grateful from the bottom of his heart. Now that he thought about it, it was good to be careless.

"Okay, I'll wait for your food. After that, if you want to come to Ding'an, come over. My mother misses you very much. If anyone doesn't let you go out, I'll ask Dian Wei to reason with them."

"Ah? When did I become reasonable?" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment.

Su Chen knew that the matter was almost over, so he handed it over and left: "There are still many things to deal with in the army, so I will go back first. Mr. Wen Ye had better keep my words in mind and don't forget them."

Fang Wenye, who was left with a livid face, walked out of the hall with Zhang Jiao, and the woman quickly chased them out.

"Stay and eat before leaving."

Fang Xuejun escorted Su Chen all the way to the gate of the mansion. He wanted to say a few words to persuade him to stay, but Su Chen politely refused. He got on the horse and said, "We can't eat anymore. You can also see that there are many soldiers waiting at the door. They eat If I don’t have enough food to eat, I will take the first step.”

"Wonderful son-in-law, wait." Fang Jinxue also followed. He whispered beside his horse: "I don't want to break off the engagement, but I have to listen to my father's words. However, Sanfang still has some savings, except for Mr. Xue. I still have some of the grain from Zhuangzi, and you will bring it to me later. You don’t have to pay back, but from now on, just be nice to Mr. Xue.”

Su Chen looked at this ordinary old man, but he didn't expect him to be able to do this. He raised his gaze and looked at Fang Xuejun, whose face was red, and said with a light 'hmm', "This is natural."

After saying that, he shook the reins and urged the horse to leave.Zhang Jiao, Dian Wei, and five hundred soldiers followed them one by one.

"Dad, what did you call him just now?"

Fang Xuejun approached his father and asked softly.

"My son-in-law."

"Don't be ashamed!" When Fang Xuejun heard this, the blush on his face became even thicker, which made the old man laugh. "Your heart is almost attached to someone else, and you still talk about being a father!"

The father and daughter stood at the door talking and laughing for a while. When they returned to the house, they did not go to see Fang Wenye. Instead, they asked the servants in the third room to go out quickly and notify several villagers under their names to load all the grain in the warehouse into trucks.

The old man in charge of the house was a little stubborn at first and wanted to see what Su Chen would do to him if he didn't lend them food. However, he couldn't help the frightened eldest son and second son, who were crying and begging. He almost knelt down in front of him, but Fang Wenye nodded in agreement.

Soon, the other two houses also sent people to their respective villages to start loading grain.For a time, the convoy transporting grain was lined with torches and spread across Changchuan County like a long queue.

……

When Su Chen returned to Changchuan County, his second brother Su Lie, who was waiting eagerly outside the military camp unexpectedly, felt relieved when he saw that his younger brother was intact.

The boss was a man, his eyes were wet and red.

"Second brother, you're crying so much. Look, I'm not doing well. Su Ting, you take care of the unloading of grain in the camp. I'll take the second brother back to the city." Su Chen shouted to the young man who was counting the grain bags, and then took the second brother with him. Returning to the backyard of the county government office, I invited all the generals in the army to come over for a drink and dinner.

During the dinner, Su Lie told Su Chen how Ding'an City was doing these days, how his family was doing, and how Mr.

Due to the tiring journey, Su Lie ate and drank hastily and then went to sleep.Here, Guo Jiaxiao took a sip of his drink and suddenly asked: "Changsheng, what do you think is lacking in your command this time?"

Su Chen definitely didn't know what was wrong with the leadership. After all, the authorities were obsessed with it, so he put down his wine glass and quickly asked for advice.

"Please let me know by offering wine."

"You don't know how to use soldiers to be flexible, and they don't distinguish between strong and weak." Guo Jia dipped his fingers in the wine and made water marks on the table, "You are just lucky this time. If Zhang Wenyuan hadn't broken out halfway and rushed to the opponent's commander's flag, It is not easy for you to win this battle. Changsheng must know that the way to use troops is to avoid the enemy's front, search for weaknesses, and attack them with all your strength. The enemy that is several times larger cannot be defeated forcefully. You must first cut off one or two routes. , causing it to lose its position..."

At this time, Zhang Liao quietly moved this way and whispered: "It was Guo Jijiu who instructed Liao Bandao to fight out. In fact, Liao has been here a long time ago."

Su Chen finally understood that during the battle that day, Guo Jia rarely spoke. This was due to his experience as a former person.

"Oh, right."

After listening for a while, Su Chen suddenly slapped the table. He thought of someone, "Everyone, have we forgotten someone?"

"Lu Bu?!"

Brothers Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Zhang Jiao, as well as Le Jin, Dong Zhuo, Zhang You, and Xu Qinghu were all stunned. They were so busy these days that they even forgot about him.

"This guy just can't remember to hit." Dian Wei clenched his fists and pressed down on the table, almost overturning the table.

The light flickered on Dong Zhuo's face, and he shook his head.

"Dong was killed by him back then, but he can still change. I can't let it go until I believe in it!"

On the side, Zhang Liao drank a glass of wine in silence.

……

The cold wind blows the drizzle
In the wilderness more than 70 miles away from Yanjing, the land was muddy, and the smell of blood lingered in a pasture. Most of the people here had been killed, leaving behind many war horses, cattle and sheep.

In the thatched shed, dozens of goats were skinned, strung together and roasted on the fire. Lu Bu took a sip of wine to drive away the cold air. He walked under the eaves, looked at the rain in the dark night, and hummed.

"...The Yan people's cavalry is really too slow."
