Destiny Only Han

Chapter 261 Liu Ying: Looking for plum blossoms to quench thirst, right?
This is it!
This is the only thought in Liu Ying's mind as she inspects the Gaomi official warehouse at the moment.

He originally thought that Tian Guang gave up Linzi casually and went to Gaomi to organize an army to resist the attack of the Han army because a considerable amount of wealth of Qi State was stored here.

But now that the Han army captured Gaomi and opened the treasury here, Liu Ying was completely dumbfounded.

It is understandable that the warehouse where the money is kept is empty. After all, after the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, Qi State did not have a few days of peaceful life.

But those barns that look full are mostly straw and gravel when opened.

Really, the mice came and left all night wiping their tears...

Obviously, this is used to look for plums and quench thirst!
Liu Ying: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

In desperation, he turned around and left angrily, preparing to write a letter to Xiao He in Guanzhong, asking him to allocate a batch of grain from Guanzhong and transport it along the river to Qidi.

With Lu Wan and Liu Jia's attack again, many ferries on the south bank of the river were either under the control of the Han army or were completely demolished.

Therefore, although the freight going down the river passes through the control area of ​​Chu State, it is actually a safe batch!
The granaries in Gaomi City not only store grain for officials and soldiers, but also play a vital role in controlling the surrounding people and controlling grain prices nearby.

At this time, the autumn harvest had just passed, and the people had more or less stored grain in their homes.

Although winter is suffering, it is not too difficult.

The difficulty is that after the spring sowing, there will be a period of time when the crops are not harvested.

There is not enough food storage in the city, which gives opportunities for the price of food to take off, and the powerful to wantonly annex the fields of the common people.

And this kind of land annexation, even if the Han army completely occupied the land, it would not be able to stop it.

After all, the common people are not willing to sell the land cheaply, but if there is no food to eat, the whole family will starve to death!

At this time, there is no other way but to provide them with cheap or even low-priced food to tide them over.

There is another method, which is to violently smash open the granary of the powerful family and distribute it to the colonists.

It's just that in this way, not only the rich and powerful will have grievances, but even many middle and rich peasants will also be in danger.

People's hearts are gone.

Well, the classical agricultural society is fundamentally different from the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

It is necessary to attack powerful and powerful households, but uniting small and medium-sized landlords, or the middle and rich peasants, is the most important thing.

Therefore, there is only one way to adjust grain from Guanzhong.

Guanzhong has undergone two rounds of wheat, rice, and wheat bean rotations, coupled with the continuous shipment of grain from Hanzhong and Bashu as supplements, and the grain reserves are very sufficient.

However, there is a lot of food in Guanzhong, but there is no reason to give Qi people free food.

And building something as vain as a porridge shed is completely out of Liu Ying's consideration.

The reason for opening porridge sheds for disaster relief in ancient times was to prevent the hungry people from wandering around, becoming refugees, and then becoming bandits, which became the fuse for the collapse of the dynasty.

Especially in the porridge sheds opened in severe winter or midsummer, the main reason is to let the hungry people who come to eat porridge die naturally.

After all, just drinking a bowl of thick porridge stewed with miscellaneous grains is not enough to supply the calories consumed by the body's basal metabolism.

As a result, people will weaken day by day until they have no strength to queue up for porridge.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale crowd gathering is unavoidable after the outbreak of the epidemic. With the medical conditions in ancient times and the means of control, once the plague occurs, it will naturally be out of control.

And this is actually the reason why those in power see it.

Half of the people died, and the food was naturally enough.

The calamity year is over.

The land was redistributed, and the big households made a lot of money. After the common people became tenant farmers, they were nailed to death in this square inch.

Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun wrote a saying that every crooked page in the history book is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he couldn't sleep anyway. After reading it carefully in the middle of the night, he realized through the cracks in the words that there are two words written all over the book. words.

eat human!

What Liu Ying had to do in order to hang herself on the street lamp instead of being pushed to the guillotine was of course not this kind of underhanded means of poking.

What he has to do is to wait until the grain from Guanzhong arrives and lend it to the people of Qi.

Borrow food and pay back food.

Well, of course, interest is essential.

Although the cost of transportation down the river is very low, to distribute food and recover the arrears, it is necessary to hire another person to complete it.

Therefore, it is very reasonable to charge [-]% interest.

In this era when the landlord's family had no food surplus, this approach was actually a last resort.

Liu Ying thought for a while, and it was probably impossible for Xiao He to allocate food from Guanzhong that could feed millions of Qi people just by talking about nothing.

Therefore, collateral is required.

Although the people of Qi are poor and white, the country of Qi is very rich!

Not to mention the so-called benefits of fish and salt.

In the north of Gaomi City, there is a little-known Yeyi County at this time.

In later generations, Yeyi has another name.

Laizhou.

Here, there is a gold mine!

Liu Ying had a college roommate in her later life, who called herself the second generation of mines.

Well, it is actually the second generation of miners...

Liu Ying once went to play near the gold mine with him. The original purpose was to collect some wool from the country, but in the end, because the fate of the wool was written into the criminal law, she gave up...

However, in this era of the world, not to mention that the gold mine there has not yet been discovered, even if it is discovered, it is not difficult for Liu Ying to want it.

I can't write two characters of Liu in one stroke, my elder brother's is mine... Liu Ying walked out of the grain depot with peace of mind, and was going to lead people in person to find the road to the gold mine later.

Yeyi is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Gaomi, and this is already the actual control area of ​​the Han army, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Well, in fact, he wanted to run to Yeyi to hide from Han Xin.

…………

Gaomi City, Han Xin's military shogunate.

At this moment, although everyone still had a bit of drunkenness on their faces, they all stood up straight and watched closely the map spread out on the ground.

With a hoarse voice, Han Xin pointed to the map and began to lay out the next stage of the battle plan.

Well, the reason for his hoarseness was the vomiting caused by drinking too much alcohol, which corroded his throat with stomach acid.

Under his command, Cao Shen led part of the army to the north and wiped out Jibei County, which had not yet surrendered, completely ensuring that the rear supply line of the Han army would not be harassed by the Qi army.

The other way is Guan Ying, who leads the Langzhong cavalry.

He needs to use the mobility of the cavalry in short and medium distances to rush to Chengyang, which is Ju County, one of the former five capitals of Qi State.

There, Qi Shouxiang Tianguang was recruiting and mobilizing the defenders of Langya County, preparing to go north to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, Langzhong cavalry, who are equally proficient in foot combat and cavalry combat, are the best candidates to fight against Tian Guang.

Well, the position of Shouxiang is equivalent to being the deputy of the prime minister.

As for Han Xin himself, he commanded the rest of the army and marched towards Jiaodong County.

There is actually a stronghold of Tian Qi.

Whether it was Tian Dan's restoration of the country in the past, or Xiang Yu's invasion of Qi State later, Tian Heng and others launched a counterattack, it all started from Jimo in Jiaodong County.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Han Xin paid special attention to this.

It's just that he looked around, but he didn't see Liu Ying's figure, and his emotions were a little complicated.

Even with millions of soldiers, the attack must be defeated and the battle must be won. This is his specialty.

Liu Ying is particularly good at gathering people's hearts so that the soldiers can't feel resentment.

So this time he attacked Jiaodong County, he needed Liu Ying to be with him.

Really, although at the celebration banquet, when Cao Shen and others took the lead in pouring him wine, Liu Ying was on the sidelines desperately booing Yangzi, but is he that kind of stingy person?

As for running without a trace early in the morning?

Han Xin thought that he staggered to nothing, and his back molars sucked slightly, so he looked at Cao Shen's eyes, and became unkind.

…………

Jibei County, Boyang (now Tai'an City, Shandong).

Tian Heng stood blankly in the courtyard, looking at the red sun in the sky, but it didn't emit too much heat, and softly chanted "Qin Feng Yellow Bird".

"Hand in the yellow bird, stop at the thorn. Who is from Mugong? Ziche is dying. Wei is dying, the specialty of a hundred people. When you come to his cave, you feel anxious. The sky is heaven, wipe out my beloved! If you can redeem it Come, a hundred people have their own body!"

"Hand over the yellow bird, stop at the mulberry. Who will follow Mu Gong? Zi Che Zhonghang. To maintain this Zhongxing, the defense of hundreds of people. When you come to its cave, you will be worried. The sky is heaven, wipe out my beloved! If you can redeem it Come on, a hundred people have their own body!"

"Hand over the yellow bird, stop at Chu. Who will follow Mu Gong? The son car needles the tiger. Wei this needle tiger, the king of a hundred men. When you come to its hole, you feel anxious. The sky is heaven, wipe out my beloved! If it can be redeemed Come, a hundred people have their own body!"

……

In the morning, the Qi-Chu allied forces were defeated in Weishui, the Qi general Xiang Talong died in battle, and the news that Qi Wang Tian Guang was captured and committed suicide had spread throughout the city.

In Tian Heng's heart, there was not only resentment towards the Han army, but also resentment towards Tian Guang, Long Qie and others.

Even a hundred thousand pigs can kill the Han army!
What a waste!

This is the reason why he recited the Yellow Bird from the Book of Songs when the news of Tian Guang's death came.

What he regretted was not Tian Guanglong, but those Qi soldiers who died on the battlefield!

After all, as soon as the news of the Qi army's defeat again came, the soldiers of the Qi army gathered in Boyang worried that they would suffer the same disastrous defeat and die on the battlefield, so they began to flee in an organized way.

Shi Wulian sat down, as long as one ran away, the rest would either catch the other party back, or they could only run along.

Otherwise, you will surely die!
At this moment, Tian Heng felt that he would once again follow Tian Dan's example and become Qi's Zijin Liang and White Jade Pillar supporting the sea!

Whether Qi Guo can survive this time depends entirely on his operation!
Therefore, standing in the courtyard at this moment, he was actually waiting for the auspicious time.

An auspicious time to be king.

A snake can't do without a head, and Confucian scholars often say that if the name is not right, the words will not go well.

Only by becoming the King of Qi can he summon the people of Qi to fight to the death with the treacherous Han army who invaded Qi!

Ps: Change first and then change.
