Allure of a Country Maiden

Zezhou

Carload after carload of grain was delivered to the slightly depressed and run-down county.

The streets were sparsely populated, most of the shops on both sides were closed, and damaged houses could be seen everywhere.

If the city gate wasn't heavily guarded, and a few pedestrians occasionally walked by on the street, they would have thought it was an empty city.

Dishaowei watched the carts of grain and wound medicine enter the city, and said to the people around him: "Inform the people to come and collect the grain."

Soon the sound of gongs and drums came from the streets and alleys: "The government has sent rice, the government has sent rice, everyone, hurry up and get rice at the city gate!"

When the people heard this, they were all shocked. They were all from the city, and their families had no fields. Most of them relied on buying grain and vegetables for a living. Now that all the grain shops were closed, the grain stored in their homes was counted as daily food. The porridge and water were all finished.

After hearing this, everyone opened their doors one after another and stuck their heads out to see if it was true.

Many people were still a little afraid of these soldiers from Min Zeguo. After waiting for a while, some people were really hungry and couldn't help but go out to inquire.

When they came to the city gate, they saw sack after sack of grain piled aside, and then there were soldiers distributing grain there.

An old woman couldn't help but walked up and asked, "Is there food for sale here?"

A soldier said: "It's not for sale, it's issued by the court. Each household can receive one liter of rice per day. The old lady can go home and get a household allowance in exchange for a grain card, and then she can come and receive rice every day until she reaches the city." Until the food store opens."

One liter of rice is not much, but if you make porridge, it is enough for a family to have three meals a day.

In the newly conquered city, Di Shaowei immediately arranged for people to issue household stickers to the surrendered people. The household stickers were prepared in advance, and all they had to do was fill in their names.

Only those with household stickers can live in the city, and with household stickers, it is easier for officers and soldiers to search if something happens.

"Is this true? It doesn't cost money?" After hearing this, the old woman thought she had heard wrong and asked again.

It's neither a famine year nor a natural disaster, so the court actually distributes food to them?

"Really, no money is needed. This is the imperial court's special relief for the people to help them get through this difficult time. When the prefect comes, the imperial court will help everyone live a better life! Is there anyone else who is sick? If you need to see a doctor or get medicine, you should go to Renji Hall to get medicine and treatment. There is a doctor there." Dishaowei stood aside and explained.

Renji Hall was originally a famous medical center in Xu County. When their soldiers attacked, the entire medical center was empty. Now it is a temporary place for military doctors to conduct consultations.

After hearing this, the old woman ran home happily, shouting loudly as she ran: "The court has sent food. Each household has one liter of rice per day! Hurry up and put on the household stickers to exchange for rice!"

The soldier looked at his mother-in-law running away, dumbfounded. He didn't know where she had the strength to run so fast and scream so loudly.

After listening to the old woman's words, the people opened the door one after another.

The old woman's neighbor asked: "Grandma Liu, is this true? The new imperial court distributes food? No money?"

"Really, I've already asked. I'm going home to get the household stamps now!" The old woman dropped these words and hurriedly entered the door of her house.

After hearing this, the neighbor quickly ran into the house to get the brand new household sticker.

Soon, the rice distribution area was filled with people queuing up to receive rice.

Dishaowei watched here for a while, said a few words to the soldiers and then left.

Some shops on the street also opened their doors secretly at this time, and they saw people on the street either running to the city gate with household stickers, or running home with a small bag of rice.

Min Zeguo's general actually dared to use military rations to relieve the people here? ! A certain shopkeeper in a certain shop saw this situation and his eyes were dark and unclear.

Inside the palace of Nangong Kingdom

"Are you using military rations to help the people? Then let's see how long their military rations last!" Gong Qinghua couldn't help but reveal a weird smile after hearing the news.

After his goal was achieved, he knew that Shangguan Xuanjun would definitely use military rations to help the people.

snort! The Nangong Kingdom dared to attack the tiny Min Ze Kingdom even before they even attacked it!

It's just that after two good days, he dared to challenge such a big country like them. He must let them know what a strong country means!

He had just received their battle plan and food delivery route.

First, cut off their military supplies, and then drive them out of Nangong Kingdom!

Based on his understanding of Min Zeguo, they will definitely follow the plan and will not modify the battle plan!

And how to modify such a perfect combat plan? !

No matter how you modify it, it will only add more risks to this war.

Where will Di Shaowei and Shangguan Xuanjun attack next?

Gong Qinghua glanced at the paper on the desk, which was densely covered with words the size of black beans, and thought deeply.

After a long while, he said: "Xuan, General Liang, General Wang,..., and six ministers will come to the palace to meet you immediately!"

"twitter!"

Two quarters of an hour later, several generals hurriedly came to Gong Qinghua, then knelt down on one knee and saluted: "General, I will see the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

"Flat body!"

"General Wang, you immediately mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, secretly go to Nanjiang County, and then station there without moving, waiting for military orders."

Nanjiang County is the neighboring county of Jiangdong County.

"I will obey your orders!"

"General Tang, you lead 15,000 elite troops to Sansha Bay and secretly guard the three forks. If you find the enemy's grain transport team, you will definitely seize their grain! If you can't seize it, It will be destroyed, and we must not let the enemy’s food be sent to the front line!”

"The general will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" It is a bit difficult to snatch the food, but if it is destroyed, it is still very easy!

"General Tang, please retreat and make arrangements first!" This matter is urgent.

"General, please retire!" After hearing this, General Tang quickly retreated to do his work.

At this time, other officials also rushed over.

"Dear ladies, come and take a look!" Gong Qinghua called a few people to the map of Nangong Kingdom.

This map is much more detailed than the one at Min Zeguo's Imperial Palace, but it's a little worse than the one drawn by Xiaoer.

“Now the two armies have just finished a battle, and our army once again suffered numerous casualties and lost a city.

Min Zeguo sent troops suddenly, we were unprepared, and two cities were lost. It was excusable, so I didn't care about it! But it can’t go on like this anymore! "

Gong Qinghua paused and continued: "I just received news that the enemy has allocated military rations to relieve the people, and it is estimated that they will not send troops for the time being.

If we send troops, we will definitely capture Jiangyang County, this is Jiangyang County... When the time comes, General Wang..." Gong Qinghua told them his plan in detail: "My dear friends, what do you think?"

After hearing what Gong Qinghua said, everyone praised the emperor for his wisdom!
