Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 823 If water, electricity and gas are cut off, I ask you if you are afraid

In the next few days, Chang Le and Cao Zhang were still eating, drinking and having fun, but the situation in Jiaohe City began to gradually change, not getting better and better, but getting worse and worse.

Early in the morning, the hustle and bustle outside the barracks rang out. Groups of heavy cavalry led their attendants, pulled the heavy armor of their horses, and swayed straight to Keyumen Pass. One, more than 2000 of the [-] heavy armored cavalry recruited in Guanzhong left, which greatly weakened the military strength of the Duhufu.

So much so that Wen Qin, the military management general of the Duhu Mansion, chased him out with sweat on his forehead, and led dozens of Central Plains cavalrymen under his command to stop in front of the road, yelling angrily.

"Mutinized and left the camp, are you going to rebel?"

"General, you can't say that. We are military households in Liangzhou, and we don't belong to your Western Regions. Besides, it's been more than a month since the three-month retirement period. Isn't it natural for us to go home? Farewell !"

The cavalry captain of Yicheng, Jiang Fan, clasped his fist lazily, then pulled his horse around him, and then walked east, which annoyed the Central Plains cavalry, and pulled out his saber with a buzzing sound. Come out, but these Kansai knights are not afraid of him. Looking at the bright sabers of the cavalry under Wen Qin, he is smiling and weighing the lance on his horse, but inadvertently reveals a murderous intent.

"What? General Wen still wants to have two fights with this subordinate?"

"Take the knife, you rude man!"

Just kidding, fight with two or three thousand landlord cavalry who specialize in killing people?Wen Qin's head was not caught by the door again, and he yelled at his subordinates, and he fisted again with a smile on his face.

"Jiang Duwei and others left their hometowns and traveled thousands of miles to guard the border for our Great Wei. We know the pain! But now that the Duhu Mansion is about to attack Shule, the big man is full of blood, and he has been a man for the rest of his life. This is the time when you are sincerely making contributions. Wouldn’t it be a pity to return home like this?”

"Still making meritorious deeds? We have generals running around in the guard house. I don't want to be killed by barbarians and starve to death in this Gobi desert. Brothers, let's go!"

As he yelled, the whole team burst into taunts again, and then the heavy cavalry and the 6000 retinues they brought passed Wen Qin and the others without looking back, leaving Wen Qin alone The old man blushed and turned white.

…………

It was not just this excuse that forced the cavalry to drive away. There was no more wine in Jiaohe City.

Originally, Jiaohe City had only been captured for a month, and the shops and taverns that opened up on the main street closed one after the other. In just two or three days, the streets of Jiaohe City were as depressed as the Western Regions, which were dominated by purely political soldiers in the past. The main city of Duhu Mansion is exactly the same.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I usually drink a cup after training, but now I don’t even have anything to quench my thirst. The infantry and cavalry couldn't bear it.

No longer the demeanor of the world's elite soldiers, Wang Shuang's subordinates squatted in the barracks, covered their heads and fell asleep, but Zhang Jaw couldn't help but found the city.

"Chang Shi, is the supply of our army this month wrong?"

After being taken over by Wang Hou, the remaining more than 6000 Kwantung Bafu soldiers knew what it means to be a soldier. The best armors and armors were supplied. In the past, the military rations were full of coarse meals, thank God, but now the coarse and fine grains are mixed, and there are eggs in the morning. At noon and night, it's either canned fish or bacon stew, and the soldiers sometimes get tired of eating meat.

But this month, the originally rich supplies were cut off, and even the previous third was gone. How can the soldiers who are used to the rich life bear it?

But listening to his complaints, old Zhong Yao was even more worried than him, frowning!
In just a few days, the business travel that used to come and go was suddenly interrupted, and the largest source of income for the Duhu Mansion, business taxes were almost dried up.

Moreover, the second pillar of the Duhu Mansion came from the support of Guannei, and it was suddenly cut off this month. Zhong Yao was stunned to ask the supply school captain Zhang Gai, the governor of Liangzhou, who was stationed here, but what he said was clear. The salary was donated by the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce. Now that people have stopped the money and food, what is the use of you looking for me, I can produce canned food!
Originally, Zhong Yao looked down on those merchants, but now that he has no money or food, and the high-ranking ten-gentry lord has bent his waist, he has no choice but to go to the headquarters of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce in Jiaohe City. Who knows where, The old face he pulled down was a little bit ashamed again, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce was almost empty, leaving an old man who was packing up to chat with him.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions is coming to an end!Oil the soles of your feet, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. The lords think that instead of investing in the Western Regions Protectorate, it is better to invest in Shanshan, Montenegro, where the South Dao was founded!Investing money, food and materials there is more likely to open up the southern Silk Road!

Almost overnight, it seemed that the mighty Protectorate of the Western Regions had fallen to the embarrassing state of Ban Chao's era.

"Chang Shi, what should we do? There is no food and no salary, how can the general lead such brothers under his command!"

Seeing Zhong Yao shaking his head, he opened his jaw in a hurry. If it was okay in the past, if he doesn't provide enough support for his troops now, the soldiers are really rebelling!
Zhang Liao is not over yet!At the other end, Counselor Yang Jun ran over anxiously.

"Chang Shi, please take care of it! Zhongping, Xun Yao and the bastards, resign with the crown!"

Hearing this, Zhong Yao's expression changed drastically again. Indeed, he and Yang Junwenqin brought some scholars and tribesmen from them to form Cao Zhang's team of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but the Protectorate of the Western Regions needs more than just civil servants Dozens, the Secretary of Cang Ling, a full five or six hundred.

Most of these people are graduates of Chang'an Academy in Guanzhong modeled on the Liaodong Academy. These people are said to be talented, but the Duhufu has set them up as screws, and they will still fall apart.

What Yang Jun was talking about was the leaders of these civilian officials.

Seeing the anxious eyes of his colleagues, Zhong Yao finally nodded in pain.

"I see!"

"Come on, Chuan Xiaowei Zhonghui!"

Filial piety is at the forefront these days, and Zhong Hui still dare not neglect his father's orders. In less than 10 minutes, he had left behind the work at hand and hurried back.

"Father, you recruit a child!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Yao suddenly snapped and stretched out his hand!
"Come on, take down this coward who ran away!"

"Father!"

His eyes were full of disbelief, but Zhong Hui couldn't refute. Except for this sound, he could only be taken off in silence. Seeing Zhong Hui being escorted away by several guards of the Dufu Mansion, Zhang Hui beside him Jaw couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Old Changshi, why is this?"

"General Zhang Jaw, do you need food and salary?"

"That's right!"

"Come here, take General Zhang Jaw down for this old man too! Take him to the Jiaohe City Square, and send someone to invite Daduhu and Miss Changle, and release Captain Deng Ai immediately! Hurry up!"

"Old history?"

Being dragged outside, Zhang Jaw yelled in horror, but Zhong Yao also yelled helplessly.

"If you don't admit defeat, it's over for the Protectorate of the Great Capital of the Western Regions! You and I have become dogs that hurt the family!"
