Fortunate Young Gentleman

"Ten kilograms of rice per person, a thousand people means ten thousand kilograms, ten thousand people means a hundred thousand kilograms, so we need so much every month, and we have to feed so many soldiers. Where can we get so much food?"

In three days, Wan Yanyan asked Tang Ning this question more than many times.

This can't be blamed on her. As a princess of the grassland, she still has to worry about the problem of food. She can't imagine how much food is lacking in a country like Chen State, which can survive for decades by relying on food reserves.

The two roads of Jiangnan, more than 40 states, can be called the granary of the world. Not to mention Chen State, even if Chen Chu is fed at the same time, plus the grassland, it is more than enough.

After Tang Ning's trip to Jiangnan, the two roads of Jiangnan, nearly 40 states, have been under the control of the court. There is no pressure to allocate some food to help them.

As the marshal of this operation, Tang Ning still has this permission.

As long as it can promote peace between the grassland and Chen State, the wealthy Emperor Chen does not care about these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food. If a war really breaks out, the loss of Chen State will be much greater than this.

Tang Ning looked at Wanyan Yan and said, "If you believe me, let Ayina lead the brothers of Wuyan tribe to the outside of Fengzhou, a hundred miles north of Yinshan Mountain, where the food is."

Wanyan Yan glanced at him and said, "Of course I believe you."

She walked out of the tent and whispered a few words to Ayina, who nodded and said, "I'll go right away."

Wanyan Yan then walked back, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What should we do now?"

"What should we do..." Tang Ning stretched and asked : "What do you usually do?"

Wanyan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Most of the time I go hunting. Will you go with me..."

"No." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I can't ride a horse."

Wanyan Yan thought of something, her eyes lit up, and said, "I can teach you!"

Wanyan Yan's riding skills are beyond reproach. Among all the people Tang Ning knows, no one's riding skills are better than hers. Learning riding skills from her is indeed a rare opportunity. Riding and shooting are his shortcomings, and he has long wanted to make up for this shortcoming.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then you can teach me archery by the way..."

"Okay!" Wanyan Yan was very interested in being able to crush Tang Ning in some aspects and be his teacher. She brought dozens of guards and left the camp with Tang Ning.

Aina and Xiao Jue met, and it would take at least ten days to go back and forth. During this time, Tang Ning had nothing to do, so he went out with Wanyan Yan to ride horses and shoot arrows.

Wanyan Yan's martial arts were average, but riding and shooting were top-notch. After a few days, Tang Ning could clearly feel his progress.

He and Wanyan Yan were riding horses and shooting rabbits in the grassland, having a great time. A hundred miles north of Yinshan Mountain, Xiao Jue was riding on a horse, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a green onion in the other. He took a bite of the steamed bun with the green onion and looked at the vast grassland in front of him, wondering, "It's so late, why haven't you come yet?"

Lu Ya stood beside him, looked at him, frowned and said, "Can you stop eating this?"

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with green onions? Green onions are good things. Some people want to eat them but don't have them yet. I was caught by them. These days, I can't even eat if I want to..."

At this moment, a young general who was lying on the ground with his ears pressed tightly to the ground suddenly got up, ran over quickly, and said in a hurry: "General, there are cavalry coming ten miles ahead, about five hundred people..."

Lu Ya looked at Xiao Jue and asked: "Are they coming?"

"I don't know if it's them." Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "Let's see first."

The distance of ten miles was reached in a flash on the grassland. In a flash, the ground under their feet began to shake, and a black line appeared in front of them.

The young general looked far away and said: "General, look at their flags, they should be people from the Wuyan tribe."

"Wuyan tribe, that's it." Xiao Jue smiled, turned his horse's head, and said: "Retreat!"

The young general responded, and hundreds of knights turned their horses' heads at the same time and galloped forward, leaving only more than a hundred carriages and bulging cloth bags on the carriages, and no one knew what they were filled with.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Wuyan tribe had also discovered the people in front. A man next to Ayina changed his face and was about to order the whole army to be on alert, but he found that the other party turned around and ran away.

On the grassland, they are the absolute kings. When Chen Chu's army saw them, they might run away, but it was the first time he saw them run away so easily.

Everyone drove their horses forward and found that there were more than a hundred carriages left in the original place.

One person looked at the direction where Xiao Jue and others evacuated, looked at Ayina, and asked: "Leader, do you want to chase them?"

Ayina looked at him and said, "Let's see what it is first."

The man jumped off the horse, came to the carriage, opened a bag, and when he saw the white rice inside, his expression froze.

As if he had thought of something, he opened a few more bags. When he saw that the carriages were all loaded with rice, he was ecstatic and laughed loudly: "Chief, these are grains, these are all grains!"

...

Chief Aina led the warriors of the Wuyan tribe to plunder a grain transport team of the State of Chen, seized a large amount of grain, and transported it back to the Wuyan tribe an hour ago.

This is a rare big harvest. To celebrate, each household of the Wuyan tribe was given 20 kilograms of grain, and a full sheep banquet will be held at night. The Wuyan tribe is full of singing and dancing.

When Wanyan Yan saw the food, her eyes were shining. If the Khan was like this, it goes without saying how happy her subordinates were.

On the second day, Wanyan Yan transported the captured food to various tribes according to the number of conscriptions.

Wuta tribe.

Everyone watched the carts of food being transported in, swallowing their saliva from time to time.

One person stood next to the cart full of food and shouted: "Kule, Ishbu, Wuda's family, come and get the food!"

Kule, Ishbu and Wuda were all warriors who participated in the conscription of the fourth princess. Seeing their families take away the food, and seeing the food on the cart getting less and less, some people who were still waiting and watching finally couldn't help it.

What the fourth princess said was not empty words, this was real food, food that could save lives. One person joined the army and the whole family was not hungry. If you miss this good thing, you will never have it again.

"I'll go too!"

"Count me in!"

"I'm here first, you go to the back!"

"Don't push, don't push, come one by one, come one by one..."

...

For people who live on the grassland and worry about their livelihood every year, nothing can make them feel more at ease than food.

After the Fourth Princess fulfilled her promise, the tribes under her responded one by one. Anyone with able-bodied men in their families joined her guards without hesitation.

For those who have no able-bodied men in their families, the Fourth Princess will also provide them with some food to maintain their livelihood.

This is the first time that the tribes under her have truly felt the benefits of being under the Fourth Princess.

In the past few days, many people from more than ten tribes knelt in the direction of the Wuyan tribe and paid their highest respects to the Fourth Princess.

In the Nipangu tribe, Wuda looked at the warriors of the tribe who surrounded him, and got up from the bed with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Did her food really fall from the sky?"
