Dajin royal family

Chapter 353 Zhuo County
The first batch of military salaries allocated by the imperial court to the Liaodong Army finally arrived in Yuyang County.

This is a good thing for Jiang Chengxiao, no one will dislike him for having a lot of food.

In fact, because the Lu family provided [-] shi of grain, Yuyang and Beiping counties do not need support from Liaodong now.

But Jiang Chengxiao happily accepted the military salary, because after Yuyang County, he was going to go south to deal with Lu Mingyue, and when he conquered Zhuo County, he would have more choices.

On the pavilion, Jiang Chengxiao watched condescendingly from the people of Yuyang County leading the food distributed by the Lu family.

This is the last batch of people who came to receive the grain seeds. As long as this year's spring planting goes well, Yuyang will gradually regain its vitality.

"Your Highness, the household registers have been sorted out, and all are filed." Wen Yanfei walked behind Jiang Chengxiao and cupped his hands.

"You've worked hard."

"Subordinate" He originally wanted to say subordinate, but Jiang Chengxiao once said that he was not his subordinate, so Wen Yanfei swallowed it back, "It's not hard for me to be an official, thanks to Master Yu's great help."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and asked, "What do you think of the current livelihood of the people in Yuyang County?"

Wen Yanfei was startled for a moment, but soon realized that King Liang was testing him.

"The lower official believes that as long as the people can ensure that the spring planting and autumn harvest are smooth, everything will be on the right track next year, and Yuyang County will no longer need the support of the court."

"Then what should you do?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

This question made Wen Yanfei pause. Didn't he say that he would ensure that the people will plant in spring and harvest in autumn.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao walked over and patted him lightly, "Remember, it's not good to sit and talk about the truth, you should go to the field to see for yourself."

Immediately, Jiang Chengxiao took the people away.

Everyone went downstairs, and the guards brought the horses.

"Is Your Highness interested in Wen Yanfei?" Yu Qing asked with a smile.

Jiang Chengxiao rolled his eyes in his heart, what does it mean to fall in love with Wen Yanfei, these words are really ambiguous.

"He, remains to be seen."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chengxiao got on his horse.

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp!"

Pei Yuanyan has already led the Black Eagle Army to the south, and the Qingying Army led by Yu Chijing is currently stationed in Yuyang County.

An hour later.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Chijing led the generals to wait for Jiang Chengxiao for a long time.

Everyone gathered around the sand table in Hebei.

"General Pei came to Yingxin today, and he has arrived in Gu'an."

Jiang Chengxiao picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Gu'an in the south of Zhuojun.

A deputy general worried: "Your Highness, General Pei leads [-] soldiers. Is it possible that Lu Mingyue has got news about him now?"

Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a while, and then said: "There is a possibility that Lu Mingyue's current forces are mainly concentrated in Liangxiang and Longhuo City. Maybe it will be a little late to get the news, but I will not be unaware."

"In this way, wouldn't General Pei's surprise army be useless?" said the lieutenant general.

"Don't worry, take a look at what's next to Gu'an." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Next to Gu'an?

The generals looked around and saw Zhuo County not far away.

There is a small flag on the mini city of Zhuo County with the words 'ten thousand' written on it.

The generals still didn't understand what Jiang Chengxiao meant.

"I've been thinking about a question. Lu Mingyue has occupied so many cities. Where do you think his logistics will be placed?"

Hearing this, Yuchi said respectfully: "There are two possibilities, one is Changping, and the other is Dragon Fire City."

"Tell me your reasons."

Yuchi Jing said: "Changping is close to Anle County, which is convenient for Lu Mingyue to retreat and receive food and grass assistance from Anle County. Dragon Fire City is close to Jixian County. Lu Mingyue may make a desperate fight and take Jixian County by force."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded.

"You have a point, but a little less."

Yu Chijing was taken aback, "May I ask Your Highness, what is missing?"

Jiang Chengxiao took the wooden pole and tapped Zhuo County.

"If Lu Mingyue really stores food, grass and luggage in Changping or Longhuo City, there is no need for him to stretch the front line at all. He can concentrate his superior forces to take Ji County first, and then take other cities."

"But he didn't. According to the news reported by the scouts, Lu Mingyue is gathering an army to attack Lu County. He wants to surround Ji County and prevent us from rescuing Ji County."

"This shows that he doesn't care about Changping."

At this point, Jiang Chengxiao said: "Of course, Lu Mingyue may also put food and grass in Dragon Fire City."

Yuchi said respectfully: "Your Highness, even if this is the case, how should we march?"

"Simple, he wants to encircle Ji County, we can't let him encircle him, we must undo the siege of Lu County, I want to see how much Lu Mingyue has improved this time."

Jiang Chengxiao ordered: "Order, the army will set off tonight, march quickly, and must arrive in Lu County the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

There is a dense forest outside Gu'an City, where Pei Yuanyan led the Black Eagle Army to hide.

Pei Yuanyan leaned against the tree, looking at the dark sky in the distance, thinking about Jiang Chengxiao's words in his mind.

The task Jiang Chengxiao gave him was to 'surround but not fight'.

Let him lead the Black Eagle Army to continuously traverse between Liangxiang and Zhuoxian, cutting off the connection between these two cities.

In fact, Pei Yuanyan didn't understand the significance of doing so.

At this moment, Zhao Jiao came over.

"General, the scouts have found out that there are signs of soldiers and horses moving between Liangxiang and Zhuo County."

Pei Yuanyan picked up the horse and ordered: "Send the order, the whole army mounts, and these bandits must be intercepted and killed!"

The [-] Black Eagle Army swept towards Zhuo County like a hurricane. About four hours later, Pei Yuanyan caught up with the moving bandits.

"how many people?"

"Reporting to the general, about five thousand are all infantry."

Pei Yuanyan nodded, "Okay, since it's here, we can't refuse it, remember, don't die this time, behead them all!"

"Yes!"

The moon hangs high at night, the horses neigh, and the soldiers and soldiers intersect.

Pei Yuanyan pushed all the way, killing anyone he met, the heads of the people he killed rolled down, and the blood flowed like a river.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Black Eagle Army completely wiped out the gangsters.

"General, this is full of millet, it seems to be used to transport grain." Zhao Jiao asked someone to bring a bag of millet.

"From Zhuo County to Liangxiang, is Zhuo County the place where Lu Mingyue stores grain?" Pei Yuanyan murmured to himself.

Immediately, he ordered: "Let the brothers take some, and burn the rest on the spot."

They couldn't take the food away, so in order to avoid falling into Lu Mingyue's hands, they could only burn it on the spot.

The fierce fire blazed, accompanied by the smell of burnt food, mixed with the smell of burnt corpses.

"Go, let's retreat!"

The Black Eagle Army came and went quickly, as if they had never been there before.

Lu Mingyue only got the news on the third day after the five thousand soldiers escorting food and grass had an accident.

Dragon Fire City.

Lu Mingyue's face darkened after hearing the report from the people below.

"You fucking talk about heavenly scriptures, 5000 people say it's gone, you haven't even seen a single hair, are you a three-year-old kid who lied to me?"

The messenger soldier trembled, fearing that his body would be decapitated the next moment.

"Go back and tell Zhou Danyi, if he can't find the murderer, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs, get out!"

After hearing this, the messenger soldier hurriedly retreated.

"It's fucking bad luck!" Lu Mingyue clapped the table angrily, "Tell me, who did it?"

In the hall, a circle of rough men sat on both sides.

The bearded beard said: "Heavenly King, could it be that Wang Xuba's grandson wanted to come to Zhuo County, and secretly did it."

"Wang Xuba?" Lu Mingyue shook her head, "No, he is too busy to take care of himself now, and has no time to find my bad luck."

"Heavenly King, could it be that King Liang of Yuyang County did it?" someone said.

Lu Mingyue rolled her eyes, "Fart, I just got the news that it didn't take long for him to recover from Yuyang County, how could he have the time to send troops south, and go straight to the southernmost part of Zhuo County."

In fact, he was also beating drums in his heart, but he was subconsciously unwilling to believe that King Liang would go south to deal with him so soon.

Now everyone is speechless.

Lu Mingyue was a little irritable. He had been attacking Ji County for several months, but he just couldn't take it down.

The people in the city resisted desperately, but he could do nothing.

Therefore, he can only take down Lu County first, cut off Ji County's external support, and then slowly exhaust Ji County's food and grass.

When he conquers Ji County, he must slaughter these sons of bitches.

However, the news from the south of Liangxiang cast a shadow over his heart. A force had entered Zhuo County, and his target was him.

"What's going on with Song Hai, it's been a few days, why hasn't there been any news from Lu County?" Lu Mingyue got up and walked around in the hall.

The bearded man said: "Heavenly King, let me support Lao Song and promise to win Lu County."

Hearing this, Lu Mingyue nodded, "Okay, you order [-] brothers, and hurry to support Song Hai."

"Order!"

The beard got up and left.
