Chapter 34 Food shortage
Danhan Mountain, Xianbei Shanyu Courtyard.
Budugen has been there for more than a month, but there is still no news coming back, which inevitably makes Kuitou feel a little anxious.
Youdao is the brothers who fight tigers and fight father and sons. Now the situation in the Xianbei region is getting more and more turbulent, and he needs these brothers to help him consolidate his position.
"Jumang, have the people sent to Dingxiang County come back?"
Kuitou asked.
This sentence is Kuitou's confidant general, the commander of the left ten thousand men, and is known as the number one warrior of the Great Xianbei. Over the years, he has made many contributions to Kuitou.
Ju Mang took a step forward, bowed and said, "Shanyu, the people have been sent out for five days. There should be news back today. The leader of Budugen galloped on the grassland for several years and had never encountered an enemy. Shanyu doesn't have to worry."
"I hope so!"
Kuitou replied in a low voice, then thought of the dead wolf mud, and couldn't help but feel a riot in his heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
A burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and a centurion led his camp into the camp and said half-kneel: "Shanyu, Lord Wanfu, the man is back!"
"Here I'm back!"
Kuitou and Jumang replied at the same time, and Kuitou took the lead in asking: "But Bu Dugen is back? Why don't you see him come to see me!"
The centurion shook his head and said in a low voice: "Shanyu, he is back from exploring his horse."
"oh?"
Kuitou was disappointed and said, "Is there any news about Budugen?"
The centurion shook his head again and sighed: "Seeking the horse back and said that Liangding Pass has rebuilt the gate, and the guards are tightly guarded and cannot be approached at all."
"What……"
Kuitou looked at the centurion in surprise, stepped forward and grabbed the armor in front of the centurion's chest with his hand, and shouted loudly: "What did you say? Are there Han people guarding Liangding Pass?"
"Um!"
The centurion nodded and said bluntly: "Shanyu, Liangding Pass is the gateway to Dingxiang County. Once Liangding Pass is guarded, the leader Budugen will have no way to go!"
Kuitou shouted angrily: "No, this is impossible. Bu Dugen brought more than 10,000 elite cavalry, as well as two brave warriors, Mu Tai and Bahan, who were brave and good at fighting, and they would not be trapped by the Han people."
Ju Mang's body trembled, and the worst result flashed in his mind, that was, Bu Dugen also followed the footsteps of wolf mud and was killed by the Han people.
"This is impossible, impossible, Jumang, immediately gather people and let this Shanyu pacify Dingxiang County."
"promise!"
Facing Kuitou's anger, Ju Mang responded first, and then said: "Shanyu, perhaps the leader Budugen went to Yanmen and headed north from Pingcheng Pass."
"Pingcheng Pass?"
Kuitou thought for a moment and smiled, "You mean Bu Dugen went from Dingxiang County to Pingcheng County, Yanmen. It is possible that Bu Dugen has always liked to plunder the Han people, this time..."
"Hurry, let me in quickly, I want to see Shanyu!"
At this moment, a noisy sound sounded outside the camp, interrupting Kuitou's words. Jumang hurriedly left the camp and shouted, "Who are you, why are you rushing to Shanyu Ting?"
I saw the visitor's hair was disheveled, his face was full of beard, his eyes were exposed, his clothes were tattered, and his whole body was smelly.
"Mr. Jumang, it is me, Crisus, and the attendant of the leader Budugen."
"Krissus?"
Ju Mang thought about it carefully, and it was really him who heard the sound. He asked quickly: "Crissu, why are you the only one coming back? Master Budugen?"
Krisu said in great distress: "Master Budugen is dead, I want to meet Shanyu."
"this……"
Ju Mang was in a panic, but he didn't expect that Bu Dugen really died in Dingxiang County. It seemed that the war was about to begin again.
Krissu followed Jumang into the royal court and briefly explained what happened in Dingxiang County, and was so angry that Kuitou was furious.
"Shanyu, please avenge my master Lord Bu Dugen."
Crissu knelt at Kuitou, and his crying looked like his own parents died.
Kuitou replied in a deep voice: "Loyal Crissus, Budugen has not misread you. Get up first, and my son will definitely avenge your master, my brother Budugen."
Crissus bowed to Kuitou again, then slowly stood up, snot and tears, which made people feel sad.
Kuitou comforted him: "Crissu, from now on, you will be promoted to the commander of a thousand men, and you will be at peace in the old camp in Danhanshan Mountain. This time, this time, I must set foot in Dingxiang County."
A strange look flashed in Krissu's eyes, and he quickly bowed to thank him, covering it up, and no one noticed it.
...
In September 190 AD, Zhao Feng encountered the first major problem that he had traveled through time, that was the food shortage.
The consumption of five thousand people has consumed all the savings of Dingxiang County and has taken out his old foundation, but it is still useless. Because the people in Dingxiang County are in a state of exhaustion and the people are living a tight life, how can Zhao Feng be at ease to collect food from them?
Lu Xiufu has come to urge Zhao Feng for food for the third time.
"Lord, if I can't raise any food, I'm afraid that the two thousand Xianbei people who just surrendered in the army will cause trouble. Once the morale of the army is unstable, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhao Feng is also one of the top two. According to the report of the horse, the side of Danhan Mountain has already started to move and is gathering people. At most half a month, the troops will be at Liang Dingguan. If the food is not settled before the war comes, they will definitely fall into a dilemma.
"Kun Shi, have people sent to Hanoi and wait for the place to stay back?"
Lu Xiufu said with a bitter face: "The man has come back, but he has gained nothing. Those merchants are unwilling to sell us food."
"A** Business!"
Zhao Feng cursed, and then said, "How can a living person be suffocated to death? Now, I can only take action myself."
"What does the lord want?"
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "I'll go to Jizhou in person, hoping to prepare some food from the Zhen family."
Zhen’s family?
Lu Xiufu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "The Zhen family is known as the granary in Jizhou, and the grain is piled up like a mountain. As long as they can help, we will definitely survive this winter."
"In addition, my subordinates have measured the land outside the city, reclaimed fertile fields, and prepared autumn seeds, but they are not enough staff and it is difficult to fill them."
Zhao Feng suddenly realized that there is a saying that it is to accumulate grain and slowly become king. How can you forget about raising soldiers? It is a sin, a sin.
"This is important. You can really go to Pengju and ask him to transfer his soldiers and assist in the farming. You must sow the seeds before the Xianbei people attack, otherwise we will drink the northwest wind again next year."
"promise!"
Lu Xiufu responded and rushed to the military camp to look for Yue Fei. It was Ming that food was the most important thing, and food was the foundation. As a county magistrate, he did not dare to be careless at all.
The next day, Zhao Feng explained the county affairs and left Jizhou with Dian Wei. Time was too late, so there was not much time left for Zhao Feng to prepare.
