Chapter 34 Food shortage
Danhan Mountain, Xianbei Shanyu Dating.

Budugen has been gone for more than a month, but there is still no news, which inevitably makes the leader a little anxious.

Youdao is a brother of Dahu, father and son in battle. Now that the situation in Xianbei is getting more and more turbulent, he needs these brothers to help him stabilize his position.

"Gumang, have the people sent to Dingxiang County come back?"

The leader asked.

This sentence Mang Nai is the confidant of the leader, the commander of the left side, known as the number one warrior of the Great Xianbei, and has made a lot of contributions to the leader over the years.

Gou Mang took a step forward, bowed and saluted: "Shan Yu, people have been sent out for five days, there should be news coming back today, the leader of Budugen has been galloping on the grassland for several years, and has never met an opponent, Shan Yu need not worry."

"I hope so!"

Kuitou replied in a low voice, and then remembered the dead wolf mud, and couldn't help but feel a commotion in his heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a centurion broke into the camp, half-kneeling and said: "Shanyu, Mrs. Wan, you are back!"

"came back!"

Kui Tou and Gou Mang both replied at the same time, Kui Tou asked first: "But Bu Dugen is back? Why didn't he come to see me!"

The centurion shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Shan Yu, it's Tan Ma who came back."

"Oh?"

The leader was very disappointed and said, "Is there any news about Bu Dugen?"

The centurion shook his head again, and sighed: "Tan Ma came back and said that Liangding Pass has been rebuilt and closed, and the guards are so strict that it is impossible to get close."

"what……"

The leader looked at the centurion in astonishment, stepped forward and grabbed the armor in front of the centurion's chest with his hand, and shouted sharply: "What are you talking about? There are Han people guarding Liangding Pass?"

"Ok!"

The centurion nodded and said bluntly: "Shanyu, Liangding Pass is the gateway of Dingxiang County. Once Liangding Pass is guarded, Lord Budugen will have nowhere to go!"

The leader shouted angrily: "No, it's impossible. Bu Dugen brought more than 1 elite cavalry, as well as Mutai and Bahan, two brave and skilled warriors. It is impossible for them to be trapped by the Han people."

Gou Mang shuddered, and the worst outcome had already flashed in his mind, that is, Bu Dugen also followed in the footsteps of Lang Ni and was killed by the Han people.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, Gou Mang, you must immediately gather your troops and help Ben Shanyu to conquer Dingxiang County."

"promise!"

Facing the leader's fury, Gou Mang responded first, and then said: "Shanyu, maybe the leader of Budugen went to Yanmen and went north from Pingcheng Pass."

"Pingcheng Pass?"

Kuitou thought for a moment, then smiled back: "You mean that Bu Dugen went from Dingxiang County to Yanmen Pingcheng County. It is possible that Bu Dugen always likes to plunder the Han people. This time..."

"Quick, let me in, I want to see Shan Yu!"

At this moment, a loud voice sounded from outside the camp, interrupting the leader's words, Gou Mang hurried out of the camp and shouted: "Who are you, why did you attack Shan Yuting?"

I saw that the person came with disheveled hair, a full beard, only two eyes exposed, ragged clothes, and a smelly smell all over his body.

"Lord Jumang, it's me, Chrisu, the attendant of Budugen's leader, Krisu."

"Crisu?"

Gou Mang recalled it carefully, and heard that it was really him, so he quickly asked, "Crisu, why are you the only one coming back, where is the leader of Budugen?"

Chrisu said in great distress: "Lord Budugen is dead, I want to meet Shanyu."

"This……"

Gou Mang's heart was in a mess, he didn't expect that Bu Dugen really died in Dingxiang County, it seems that the war is about to start again.

Chrisu followed Gou Mang into the royal court, and immediately told a general account of what happened in Dingxiang County, and the leader was furious.

"Chan Yu, please avenge my master Bu Dugen."

Krissu knelt down to the leader, crying bitterly, as if his parents had died.

The leader replied in a deep voice: "Loyal Krissu, Budugen didn't misunderstand you. You get up first, and Ben Shanyu will definitely avenge your master, my brother Budugen."

Chrisu kowtowed to the leader again, and then stood up slowly, with snot and tears, which made people feel very sad.

Kuitou comforted him and said: "Krisu, from now on, you will be promoted to commander-in-chief, and you can rest at ease in the old camp of Danhan Mountain. This time, I must take down Dingxiang County."

There was a strange look in Crisus' eyes, and he quickly bowed to thank him, covering it up so that no one noticed.

……

In September 190 A.D., Zhao Feng encountered the first catastrophe he traveled through, which was the food shortage.

The consumption of 5000 people has exhausted all the savings of Dingxiang County, and even took out his old foundation, but it still doesn't help, because the people of Dingxiang County are poor and lack of supplies, and the people are living on a tight schedule, how can Zhao Feng feel at ease Go collect food from them.

Lu Xiufu has come to Zhao Feng for the third time to urge him to eat.

"My lord, if we can't raise food again, I'm afraid that the two thousand Xianbei who have just surrendered in the army will cause trouble. Once the army's morale is unstable, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Feng is also the first and the second big one. According to Tan Ma's report, Danhan Mountain has already started to move, and they are gathering troops. At most half a month, the troops will come to Liang to settle the pass. If they don't get the food before the big war comes, then they will definitely Will fall into a dilemma.

"Junshi, have the people sent to Hanoi and other places come back?"

Lu Xiufu said with a bitter face: "The man came back, but he got nothing. Those merchants are not willing to sell us grain."

"A businessman!"

Zhao Feng cursed, and then said: "How can a living person be suffocated to death by farts? Now that things have come to an end, I can only do it myself."

"What does my lord want?"

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "I will go to Jizhou myself, hoping to prepare some food from the Zhen family."

The Zhen family?

Lu Xiufu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "The Zhen family is known as the granary of Jizhou, and the grain is piled up like a mountain. As long as they can help, we will definitely be able to survive this winter."

"In addition, my subordinates have already surveyed the land outside the city, reclaimed fertile fields, and prepared for autumn planting, but there are not enough manpower to complete the plots."

Zhao Feng suddenly realized that there is a way to accumulate food widely and become king slowly, how could he forget the matter of farming tenants and raising soldiers, sin, sin.

"This is of great importance. Junshi can go to Pengju and ask him to dispatch soldiers to assist in farming. We must sow the seeds before the Xianbei invade, otherwise we will drink the northwest wind again next year."

"promise!"

Lu Xiufu responded, and hurriedly went to the barracks to find Yue Fei, knowing that food is the most important thing, food is the foundation, and as the county magistrate, he dare not be sloppy at all.

The next day, Zhao Feng explained the affairs of the county, and then he and Dian Wei headed to Jizhou, there was no time to wait, and there was not much time left for Zhao Feng to prepare.
