Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 519 Force and Wisdom

I have long heard that the general is good at running the army, and I had expected him to quell the rebellion against the king, but now it seems that Sanfan City will be trampled down by the two anti-kings in a few days.

It's a pity that he was still thinking too simply, he was able to stay in the big tent, and when he heard the general talking about the lack of food in the army, the fat man's expression was almost the same as that of a dead old lady.

He was originally a general in name only, and if he had no food to feed himself, wouldn't it be that this interception battle was doomed to fail...

All the big families in the city are well-informed. When they heard that the governor was summoned to the military camp, they sent people to guard outside the government office to inquire about the news.

So, almost as soon as Master Fu Yin got out of the carriage, the news spread throughout the city.

"Master Fu Yin's expression is not good, his brows are so wrinkled that he can't open it. I'm afraid this battle will be bad!"

"Then what should I do? I thought that the Invincible General was really invincible. In this way, we should quickly pack up our things and move to the capital. Even if the anti-king comes, the capital will be high and the water will be deep."

"But moving away at this time will obviously offend the general."

"So what if you offend me, you can't wait to die here."

This kind of dialogue can be seen almost everywhere in various mansions, even in taverns and teahouses. When it comes to the army outside the city and the coming anti-king, the common people are also worried.

In particular, Fu Yin posted a post calling all merchants and gentry to drink a cup of tea, the gate of the government office opened again, and the city gate became busy almost immediately.

There is no other reason, the defense battle that was not expected in the first place, and the own side has no food!
As the old saying goes, if you want the horse to run, how can you not feed the horse?
The same is true for people. No matter how strong a man is, he can't beat a child after starving for three days.

Now that [-] troops are stationed outside the city, with enemies in front and no food in the rear, how could they possibly win?

As a result, the merchants and gentry who had to take on the task of raising food, under the strict order of the governor, responded happily, but when they returned home, they packed up their belongings, took their wives and children, locked the door of the warehouse, and slipped away with oil on their feet. up.

In particular, several large grain merchants simply closed their shops and hung a "No Grain for Sale" sign in front of the door, and they disappeared completely.

Fat Fu Yin was originally the second son of a certain family in the capital city. He was prosperous and wealthy since he was a child. Later, the old man of the family dragged a few disciples to work, and he took the position of this Fu Yin. It was smooth sailing.Now that the generals are putting pressure on them, and the merchants are so drastic, they are immediately dumbfounded.

After hesitating again and again, he also gritted his teeth, took his wife and children and patted his buttocks and hid secretly back to the capital.

It wasn't until the second day that the people in the government office couldn't find the adults to deal with the affairs, and forced to question the housekeeper, only then did they know that the adults in the government office had taken the lead to escape.

Now, no news can be suppressed.

The two anti-king armies were about to arrive outside the city. As a result, the general had few troops and no food and grass. If he stuck to the city, he would still be able to fight. As a result, the governor and all the big families ran away?

The entire Sanfan City fell into panic almost immediately. The ruined houses were worth tens of millions. It's not that the people didn't want to run, but they were reluctant to look at the tables and chairs, and it was good to look at a few tattered clothes. The most important thing was where to run.I heard that the outside of Kyoto has also been surrounded by refugees, maybe I was stopped outside the city if I ran.

For a moment, the entire government office was paralyzed, and the entire city fell into panic.

But at any time, there are some people who are different from ordinary people. No matter what the reason is, a seventh-rank deacon in the government office takes over the errands left behind by all his colleagues, and puts up notices to appease the people, asking everyone to believe that the general will protect them. Sanfan City was safe and sound, and even relying on their usual contacts, they organized government servants to patrol the streets to punish the gangsters who took the opportunity to make trouble.

There were also a few merchants and gentry who hadn't left, united together, and scraped together the surplus food for the family. One of them was a hundred-year-old medicine hall, and they added all the medicines for stab wounds in the shop.

Sanfan City was in chaos for a whole day, when Yu Chihui returned to the camp with an army of [-], he happened to meet the seventh-rank deacon leading a sparse food delivery team, so Yuchihui had to interrogate him a few times.Finally, after hearing what happened, Yu Chihui slapped the weak shoulder of the seventh-rank deacon, "Brother, good job, you will be proud of today's decision for the rest of your life!"

The deacon was born as a scholar, but from a poor background. He worked as a clerk in the government office for four years to survive such a small deacon.Even if he has not been contaminated by the bad habits of the officialdom, and has retained some of the character of a scholar, he didn't think too much about it when he heard this, and said, "In the face of such a formidable enemy, we can't wield our swords into battle. We must do what we can."

The manager of the medicine shop who followed behind also said, "Our boss is too old, so he entrusted the villain to deliver all the stock in the house and all the wound medicine in the shop, and also do a little bit to defend the folks in Sanfan City."

The rest of the people also spoke one after another, mostly saying the same thing.It wasn't very touching, but it made Yu Chihui very happy and emotional.

"Everyone follow me into the camp. Today the brothers went hunting in the mountains and got some wild game. Let Miss Forsythia show off her skills later. She has learned from our mother."

After that, he welcomed everyone into the camp.

Sure enough, Gong Zhiming heard the report and personally interviewed everyone.

Soon, Lian Qiao also prepared the rabbit and pheasant that Yu Chihui brought back into wine and dishes.

The map on the table was removed, and all the generals, old and young, sat down to eat and drink.

At the beginning, the young deacon and the merchants were still a bit restrained, and the people in the army were more or less brave. They were tall and tall, and they spoke loudly, making the deacons and merchants look like quails beside an eagle. .

Fortunately, General Gongzhi is not as awesome as the rumors say. Compared with the old and young generals, he is a bit more bookish, his expression is even gentle, and all he talks about is the cultural customs of Sanfan City. , so that everyone seemed to be like a spring breeze, and gradually opened up the chatterbox.

After a meal, the guests and the host had a good time, and finally stepped on the night, and everyone returned to the city. After waking up from the wine, they suddenly realized that it seemed that they hadn't heard any arrangements about Sanfan City from the general last night.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to wonder, Gong Zhiming personally led a thousand cavalry into the city.

The government office where people went to the empty building was directly taken over. The young deacon named Tian Lu was put on an official uniform as soon as he stepped into the door of the government office in a hurry, and was directly promoted to be the master of the government office.

This kind of big reversal, which was almost absent in the drama, really surprised everyone.Of course, some people are envious, some are jealous, and some people feel that Tian Lu deserves it. After all, he was the only one who took on the responsibility of the entire government office yesterday.

Gong Zhiming didn't allow the dizzy Tian Lu to talk too much, so he asked him to send someone with Yu Chihui and others, and directly smashed down the doors of several grain merchants.The master's family ran away, and the guys left behind were not stupid enough to fight against the army for the master's family, so all the stored food was taken out, a total of three thousand dan.

Originally, several grain merchants didn’t want to escape with the grain. Firstly, they were running out of time, and secondly, they thought that the general would cherish his reputation and refused to do such a thing of “grabbing people’s wealth”.

But they forgot to do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. At such a critical moment, their whole family ran away, and they expected someone to cherish their reputation and starve their soldiers.

Soon another notice was posted in front of the government office, that each family could go to the government office to buy three buckets of grain at a low price to deal with the food shortage throughout the winter.

Almost everyone in Sanfan City knew about the lack of rations for the army.Although they have obtained [-] dan now, it is only enough to last the army for half a month.If others wished to plunder thousands of dan in the city, but the general gave up [-] dan to the people instead, for fear that the people would starve.

What kind of generosity is this, the people of Dayue who are used to being exploited by official uniforms and bullied by the royal family can't believe it.

But seeing that there are yamen servants who have set up grain stores and buckets in front of the government yamen, and the neighbors who are short of food have already brought back the food bags, and the money spent is even less than usual, everyone finally believed it.

For a moment, everyone wanted to tell each other that the general really cared for the people as rumored, and that the people of Da Viet would be blessed with the general guarding Da Viet in the future.

The power of the people has always been unimaginably strong. If there are no big families who have fled, how can it be possible that they will not have food for several months?Anyone with a conscience will have to share dozens of loads and send them to the government office.

As for the poor people, all the village chiefs mobilized and went door-to-door to check the rice vats. Only those who were really short of food were allowed to go to the government office to buy rice. As for those who had food at home, they were resolutely not allowed to go out.

After a day like this, the food in front of the government office went in and out, and in the end there was no more or less, and it was still the same as it was brought in in the morning.

Such a situation, in the original, is simply unimaginable.

The entire Sanfan City fell silent. There seemed to be a lot of things contained in these rice grains, which not only filled their stomachs, but also miraculously soothed their fear of the upcoming war...

In the early morning of the third day, three thousand tans of rice and grain were transported back to the camp. Regardless of whether they were busy or not, the generals, young and old, went to the back camp for a walk, and then went to the big tent to discuss matters, their expressions full of respect.

Wen Wu No. [-] and Wu Wu No. [-] are both people who lick blood at the edge of their swords. Glory is cast in the sea of ​​blood. Even though they have heard of the great general's reputation, they are somewhat unconvinced.

Now, in just two days, the general has brought back [-] dans of grain, and he has also taken control of Sanfan City and won the hearts of the people.

This is a method, a heart, and a strategy.

Fighting on the battlefield, traveling among thousands of armies without fear, that is courage.But this kind of battle is done without bloodshed, and the matter is solved by talking and laughing. What is needed more is wisdom.

But everyone didn't expect that something that surprised them even more was yet to come.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the scout horses who had been released came to report that General Wu came with five thousand soldiers, and the carts, carts or horses were all filled with grain bags.

Another [-] dans of grain entered the logistics camp, and there were even more than a dozen carts of dry goods and meat.

Now the whole camp is boiling. The rice grain brought back from the city was enough for half a month for the army, and now it has added [-] dan, so there is no need to worry about starvation in the next month.

Didn't it mean that the whole of Da Viet was short of food this year? The outside of the capital was surrounded by fleeing people. Where did the general find so much rice?
