Chapter 232 Situation of Dingxiang City

Feng Hao was slightly stunned, and then replied without thinking: "There is no coarse salt left."

Salt has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Every half a month, the Tengxiang army will go to the goods department to apply for allocation, and the goods department will allocate it to the Tengxiang army, but each time the quantity is not large, it is only enough Fifty thousand troops will spend half a month.

This is to prevent someone from secretly selling coarse salt.

Before the Xiliang army came, the Tengxiang army was about to run out of coarse salt, and they were saying hello to the Kuhusi, but the Xiliang army was stationed in Dingxiang City before the coarse salt from the Kuhusi came down.

Therefore, Feng Hao can be very sure that the Tengxiang army did not leave much coarse salt.

After Feng Hao finished answering, he saw that Lu Guogong and the others looked relaxed, and saw that Ji Sibo was there for some reason, and asked with a puzzled frown, "Commander, I don't know why you asked me about coarse salt?"

Lu Guogong took a look at Ji Sibo, and then said: "General Ranger came to me and told me about the tampering with the grain that he mentioned yesterday. There is something wrong here, tampering with the grain. It won't work."

After hearing this, Feng Hao snorted coldly, saying that such a scheme conceived by a brat would never come true.

In the end, Duke Lu paused and continued: "So I want to replace the grain with coarse salt, so that there will be no problem with hands and feet."

Feng Hao froze, and finally swallowed the cold snort that reached his mouth.

At this moment, the voices of Lu Tian and Ling Xin came from outside the camp. Before the guards could tell, Duke Lu called out, "General Lu, General Ling, come in."

Lu Tian and the two came in, and seeing Liang Zhenhai and the others there, he was slightly surprised, then remembered the business, and handed the stack of papers he was holding to Lu Guogong, "Commander, I have already checked the people, and I have asked them one by one. I have told them about Dingxiang City, and the situation is written here."

Lu Guogong watched each page seriously.

"Now the Xiliang army is stationed in the camp where the Tengxiang army was before."

Lu Tian was in charge of asking the people about Dingxiang City. He already knew the situation well. When Duke Lu looked at those records, he picked up some key situations and told them.

That camp was left by the Yanshan Army before. Back then, the Yanshan Army was stationed in northern Xinjiang, and there were nearly 30 people. So the camp was very empty, and it was not a problem to station 20 troops in Xiliang.

"The people said that at the beginning, the Xiliang army did not attack the grain store in Dingxiang City, but just guarded the city gate to prevent entry and exit, and ignored the people. There are many insightful people who secretly fought with the grain store. After discussing with the owners, almost every household in the city received food."

When Lu Tian said this, he had to sigh, "The people in Dingxiang City are very united, and the owners of those grain shops are even more righteous. It is said that they don't receive any money, so they distribute the grain to the people."

Liang Zhenhai glanced at Feng Hao coldly, and said in a solemn tone, "The city is broken, and they don't have the protection of the guards, so they have to find ways to protect themselves?"

He is a general of the Yanshan Army. He has been stationed in Dingxiang City for many years, and he has deep feelings for the people of Dingxiang City. When he attacked the city for the first time earlier, when he personally led the soldiers to kill the people, his heart was bleeding. He never thought Someone who will one day raise a knife to protect himself.

He is more aware of the hatred of the people of Dingxiang City towards the people of Xiliang, which is a blood feud accumulated from generation to generation. If Feng Hao hadn't retreated back then, the people would have been like helping the Yanshan Army defend Dingxiang City 20 years ago. , They will all help the defenders to the end.

So when Ji Sibo suggested that the Xiliang army might trade with common people, Liang Zhenhai was the most willing of all.

In this matter, Feng Hao was aggrieved, and he didn't dare to provoke Liang Zhenhai, so he turned his head without saying a word.

Seeing that the two did not quarrel, Lu Tian continued, "Besides, the only shop selling coarse salt in Dingxiang City secretly distributed coarse salt to the people without leaving any."

Liang Zhenhai laughed loudly, "Good job!"

Even Guan Ruifeng and Ji Sibo showed relief, making Lu Tian and Ling Xin confused.

But Lu Guogong's expression was very serious, and he still looked down at those records.

Lu Tian saw that Duke Lu didn't intend to explain, so he had to continue: "But the people said that just five days ago, the Xiliang army went door-to-door to search people's homes and took away all the coarse salt from their homes."

The smile on Liang Zhenhai's face froze and gradually subsided, Ji Sibo and Guan Ruifeng also looked solemn.

Lu Tian frowned, feeling that the "coarse salt" in it was weird, and thought to ask the coach why it happened later.

Liang Zhenhai took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice, "How much coarse salt was seized by the Xiliang army?"

Lu Tian shook his head, "The common people don't know. But you also know that if you want to sell coarse salt, you have to go to the Quhuosi to get the salt primer, and Dingxiang City is a frontier place. Not too much will be given to the salt merchants in Dingxiang City. In addition, Dingxiang City has been besieged for more than a month. The coarse salt in the salt shop will be used by all the people in the city, and there will not be too much leftover. "

Liang Zhenhai let out a long breath. Since there won't be too much, if the Xiliang army is short of salt, they will soon try to find coarse salt, right?

Lu Tian said again: "I heard from the people that they are trapped in the city and dare not go out. They can only hide at home all day. It is okay to have pickled pickles. If there are pickles, they will be given gruel to drink. If there is no pickle or if the pickle is gone, we can only eat porridge every day. There is no meat in this city, and it is all in the Xiliang army camp."

When Ji Sibo listened, he suddenly realized, no wonder the people looked weak when he saw them twice. It turned out that they had food in their stomachs, but they hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"Besides, all the girls in Dingxiang City who are over nine years old and under 45 years old were forcibly taken away by Xiliang's army."

When Lu Tian said this, his expression was very bad. It was obvious that he understood what the Xiliang people were doing to kidnap these women.

Liang Zhenhai's voice seemed to be filled with icicles, and it was cold, "Even a nine-year-old child is not spared? They are simply beasts!"

Lu Tian looked with a trace of pain, "It is said that the people who are close to the camp can hear the screams of women in the camp every day. Some people who are hiding at home can still see the people from Xiliang who are crying every few days. A few corpses were lifted out of the inside cursingly, and they were thrown outside the city. Looking at the figures, there were young children and young women. There were women in the family who were taken away. I can only pray that they can live and not be buried in the city. corpses outside."

Liang Zhenhai turned around abruptly, and with all his strength, he punched Feng Hao in the face. Several teeth flew out of Feng Hao's mouth, and Feng Hao also spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and almost couldn't get up. "You're not a fucking human being!"
