Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 1289 The county order was held hostage

Songshan County is located in the middle of Zhenwu Continent, and its terrain is dominated by mountains and hills.

The reason why Lu Xiaobei stayed in this county was because the team needed to replenish supplies such as grain and grass in this county.

But when the grain and grass officer came to report, Lu Xiaobei became angry after hearing the grain and grass officer's report.

The magistrate of this county did not cooperate, saying that he had not received the emperor's order, which obviously meant to be a local leader.

It was the first time that Lu Xiaobei encountered the county order not cooperating.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaobei ordered the Grain and Grass Officer: "Send someone to investigate the situation in this county and see if the county magistrate has been hijacked by villains?"

The grain and grass officer took the order to leave, and Lu Xiaobei asked the team to set up camp and prepare to take a rest here.

After checking the equipment of the soldiers, Lu Xiaobei was going to change the plan of supplying food and grass.

Ask Zhao Yilong to call Hu Feiyang to the tent, Lu Xiaobei gave Hu Feiyang [-] soldiers, let him go first, and ask the county magistrate to prepare food and grass in advance every time he arrives at a county, so as not to waste time.

If there are counties and counties that do not cooperate, come back and report immediately.

Hu Feiyang led the soldiers to leave first, while Lu Xiaobei and Zhao Yilong sat in the tent and chatted.

"My lord, we have been walking for more than 20 days. According to this progress, it will take more than half a month to reach the north. Are you delaying time on purpose?" Zhao Yilong asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"It's not delaying time, I'm confusing the opponent." Lu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Confused the Frost Continent?"

"That's right! We are gaining power in the south, and the other party must have known about it. They also know that I am leading the team. Under normal circumstances, the battle is done in one go. Our momentum is very strong. Not only the soldiers are very proud at this time, but our Zhenwu Continent is also very proud. Proud. If you attack rashly, you will only be defeated when you encounter the powerful Frost Continent. Besides, the Frost Continent is the most difficult to fight. They not only have powerful soldiers, but also secretly cultivated rare beasts." Lu Xiaobei Said meaningfully.

These are all well-known things on the bright side, and this is also the fundamental reason why the Frost Continent has stood tall in the Cultivation Continent for so long and no one dared to shake it.

If Lu Xiaobei wants to stabilize the northern area, besides conquering the area occupied by the Frost Continent, he also needs to teach the Frost Continent a profound lesson so that it does not dare to offend the Zhenwu Continent. This battle is not a massacre, but a battle. Shock and awe.

"What does the prince mean to paralyze the opponent first?" Zhao Yilong continued to ask.

"That's the right understanding, I just don't want my opponent to figure out my way." Lu Xiaobei said lightly.

"Then what are our chances of winning this battle?"

Facing such a strong opponent, Zhao Yilong couldn't help feeling a little stage frightened.

"Your question is wrong. War is not a matter of certainty. There are many factors that affect occupation, such as the spirit of the soldiers, the combat strategy of the leader, and terrain factors. In history, the battles that have won more with less are not counted. Number. If you are strong, you will play with strong strength, and if you are weak, you will play with weak strength." Lu Xiaobei said calmly.

"What the lord said is true." Zhao Yilong nodded acquiescingly.

"That's all, let's pass on the order. After a week, all soldiers should not replenish quilts. They should adapt to the extremely cold weather and ensure enough calories and food. We have already entered the combat state ahead of schedule!" Lu Xiaobei ordered.

"Understood, my lord!" Zhao Yilong went down to arrange things.

After lunch, the food and grass officer came back.

"My lord, my subordinates have inquired clearly!"

"Have you been kidnapped?" Lu Xiaobei asked.

"That's right, a week ago, the Songshan County Order could not close the door anymore. The common people said that they saw a group of guys in strange clothes entering the government. Now Songshan County is no longer under the control of the County Order!" The food officer replied truthfully. road.

"Did the news come from the common people or from the officers and soldiers?"

"We dressed up as businessmen and went to many places. A few officers and soldiers who came out to drink whispered about it, and ordinary people in teahouses and restaurants also talked about it."

"It seems that someone deliberately prevented us from going to the north. We cannot rule out people from the Frost Continent." Lu Xiaobei rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said to the food and grass officer: "Go and investigate again, it is best to disguise as officers and soldiers to sneak in The government, strive to get first-hand information!"

"This subordinate will do it!"

"Wait!" Lu Xiaobei suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly called the food and grass officer and said, "Don't go, change to a group of smart people!"

Lu Xiaobei was worried that the group of Grain and Grass Officers had been exposed, so he would go with a different group.

"Good lord!"

After the grain and grass officer left, Lu Xiaobei thought for a while dragging his cheeks, and he had a general direction in his mind.

The county magistrate was held hostage but was not worthy of food and grass. If the people from the Frost Continent really controlled the county magistrate, why didn't they make a fuss about the food and grass?

Why not put poison in the grain and grass, the poisonous grain and grass are fed to the war horses, won't it directly weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness?
Why not use this countermeasure?

Is the opponent stupid or the enemy is not from the Frost Continent at all?
While Lu Xiaobei was meditating, Zhao Yilong came back.

"My lord, I heard the food officer said that the county magistrate has been held hostage?"

"That's right, it's just in time for you to come. You'd better take someone to investigate further, and you'd better find out which side those people belong to?" Lu Xiaobei still believed in Zhao Yilong's ability to handle affairs.

"Subordinates go now!" Zhao Yilong led his men to work, and Lu Xiaobei woke Zishu up.

This guy Zishu has been sleeping, sleeping when he has nothing to do, and the longer he grows, the fatter he feels.

"Zi Shu, you mobilize your juniors to investigate the group of people who are holding the county magistrate hostage." Lu Xiaobei needed the most accurate news.

Zishu yawned, turned into a mouse and went out.

in the afternoon.

Lu Xiaobei waited for the news in the tent.

The first one to come back was Zishu.

"I found out about the master." Zishu was gnawing on a bone in his mouth. This guy's teeth were a little crooked recently, and he said he was going to grind his teeth.

"Who is the enemy?"

"The bastards of Daban Continent!" Zishu said disdainfully.

"Oh? How could it be them?" Lu Xiaobei was slightly surprised.

"Obviously! Those missions were beaten up by us and did not go back. They must have come for revenge. After chasing them all the way, they finally came ahead of us. It is bound to fight to the death in Songshan County!" Zishu said angrily.

"Is there no one from the Frost Continent?"

"I don't know people from the Frost Continent. Anyway, my friends say that those people look like those from the Daban Continent." Zishu replied.

"Okay, I get it, keep grinding your teeth!" Lu Xiaobei ignored Zishu.

After a while, Zhao Yilong came back, and he walked into the camp with a hasty expression.

"My lord, something happened!" Zhao Yilong said anxiously.

"What happened?"

"The others we sent were caught."

"Have you found out which gang they are from?"

"The bastards in Daban mainland!" Zhao Yilong's reply was exactly the same as Zishu's.

"It seems that the news is true!" Lu Xiaobei signaled Zhao Yilong not to worry.

"The other party wants to blackmail the people of the entire county, I guess they will send someone to deliver the news in a short time!" Zhao Yilong guessed.

"How many people have we been arrested?"

"Twenty!"

"Go down and rest first, don't tell the news to the soldiers below!" Lu Xiaobei urged.
