"Zhonghe County's harvest alone can feed a state. Before, I just heard about the good harvest in Hu County, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the rumors are true." In Qiulian, Jiang Pengji is full of malice towards him, anyone who is not blind can see it, and his heart is clear. It has been two days since the autumn grain harvest, and the amount of grain harvested surprised him.
The former Hu County was a place where people smelled and changed. Who knew that after Liu She's rectification, it would immediately turn waste into treasure.
Whether it is peace or war, grain is a hard currency that is harder than gold.
With food in hand, don't panic.
But what Huang Song lacked most right now was food. Fortunately, until the autumn harvest, the place in Zhonghe County could receive two or three million shi of new rice.
Because the war was fought early, the nearby people were evacuated early, and the fields were left unattended for several months.
Fortunately, Tsukahe County has a good geographical location. This year, God is very generous, and the harvest can barely reach the average of previous years.
On the first day, 250,000 stone autumn grains were collected!
When Huang Song heard this number, he had a beginning emotion.
It was too much to dream of a long night, so Cheng Jing divided the manpower into four waves, implemented the method of four rounds of handover, and harvested autumn grain day and night.
Don't be in a hurry, according to the scout's report, Jiang Pengji's troops and horses have been mobilized very frequently in the past two days, with a stance of sharpening knives to pigs and sheep. If you are not in a hurry to collect food now, how can you resist Jiang Pengji's crazy attack while collecting food after the war
Cheng Jing and others under Huang Song's tent were too busy to touch the ground. The candles in the tent remained on all night, and they continued to work when the sky brightened.
Busy with business, Cheng Jing didn't have time to fix his appearance.
He worked hard, and others also worked hard. For example, Yuan Chong, who was on patrol, fell asleep every day when he was so tired, and his strong body was also thin.
The forces under Huang Song's tent are like huge machines running at high speed, and every part is running for a long time and overloading. In the words of the audience in the live broadcast room, Jiang Pengji was the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and they had to squeeze their potential.
Cheng Jing never felt that time passed so slowly. According to his calculations and plans, the autumn harvest would end in half a month, but today was only the second day, and they still had to worry about it for 13 days. He knows what it means to "live like a year"—
He had just settled the grains he had collected the next day, when he heard the sound of horseshoes galloping in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves was hurried and nervous. Cheng Jing walked out of the military tent immediately after hearing it, and when he saw the scout going straight to the main tent, he hurried over.
The scout who was investigating the enemy's military situation jerked on the reins, and before he could catch his breath, he dismounted from his horse, his helmet already wet with his hot sweat.
"There is an urgent report on the front line to inform the lord!"
The soldiers guarding the main tent did not dare to neglect, and immediately communicated this time to Huang Song.
When Cheng Jing arrived, Huang Song was throwing the bamboo slip on the ground with an angry face, his eyes were wide open, and his chest heaved violently.
He paused in footsteps, stepped forward and bent over to pick up the information on the slap-sized bamboo slip, and saw the end at a glance.
The bamboo slips are not big, but there are quite a lot of recorded contents. After reading it, Cheng Jing knew why Huang Song was so angry.
This bamboo slip contains three messages, each of which is very bad and extremely unfavorable to Huang Song.
First, there was a change in the Maruzhou front line that had been standing for several months. Qi Guanrang changed the defense to the offensive, pretending to be taken by Feng Jue, and repaired the plank road and darkened Chen Cang. The army under Feng Jue's account was defeated and had to retreat 20 miles back, and morale was low.
Second, Feng Jin firmly defended Cang and Chen states, and assembled 100,000 soldiers and horses to point at Haozhou.
Thirdly, Jiang Pengji mobilized several times to gather 120,000 troops to guard Hu County, and could attack Zhonghe County at any time.
Cheng Jing saw this, and secretly added another piece of bad news in his heart.
Fourth, Meng Heng and others were stationed in the Sanshan Canyon and never retreated. Once Jiang Pengji attacked, they would take advantage of the situation and send troops to attack from both sides.
Every piece of news can bring huge mental oppression, not to mention that they are handed to Huang Song together.
Huang Song just threw the bamboo slip on the ground angrily, which was already restrained.
Cheng Jing took a closer look, and keenly found that something was not right.
For example, in the second item, Feng Jin's army is only 30,000 to 40,000, so how come there are 100,000
In fact, Feng Jin did not have many soldiers and horses, but he also counted the remnants of Huang Song captured.
Feng Jin spent a month or two training these prisoners and deserters, and pushed them to the front line as cannon fodder when they attacked Haozhou.
In a chaotic world, human life is the most cheap. It is a normal operation to use cannon fodder to grind the head of the enemy to gain space for the elite.
Seventy or eighty percent of Feng Jin's 100,000 troops were filled with water, but the 120,000 elites that Jiang Pengji pulled over were different, real elites. A full 120,000 elites were staring at Huang Song, and Huang Song suddenly had the illusion that the ending had been determined—perhaps, it was not an illusion.
Huang Song severely suppressed his thoughts. Before the ending really came out, he couldn't admit defeat, let alone show his cowardice in front of his own people!
"My lord?"
Cheng Jing interrupted Huang Song's wild thoughts.
Huang Song looked up at Cheng Jing and said, "In this situation, what countermeasures can Youmo have?"
Cheng Jing said, "Maruzhou can't be attacked for a long time, and there is no point in continuing the stalemate. It is better to let Huaijiu withdraw his troops and return to Haozhou."
He knew a little about Qi Guanrang, the latter has always been a forbearance character, if he doesn't make a move, he will kill him with one blow. Qi Guanren held back for a few months, sticking to Wanzhou and refusing to fight, but one could imagine how much he was holding back, and Feng Jue was the best target to vent.
Qi Guanrang changed his strategy at this time and switched from defense to attack. It was obvious that he had already grasped Huang Song's weakness, so he took the opportunity to attack.
It was impossible for Feng Jue to break through the Maruzhou line of defense in a short time, but Jiang Pengji was able to break through Tsukahe County in a short time.
Qi Guan Rang had no worries, so naturally he would not continue to forbear the defense, and took the initiative to attack the wind.
Compared with Qi Guanrang, Cheng Jing knew Feng Jue better.
Different from Feng Jin's calmness and comprehensiveness, today's Feng Jue is still very young, not because he is young, but because he is young.
Because of his outstanding talent, Feng Jue learns everything quickly, and he can outperform countless others of his age without studying hard, which makes people only look at it.
Excessive smoothness will create a high temperament, so Feng Jue can't stand her failure, and it is even more difficult to accept that she will fail.
The stalemate between Feng Jue and Qi Guanrang on the Maruzhou front was not necessarily due to Feng Jue's stubborn temper.
At this time, let him give up, choose to return to Hejian County in a daze, and return to Haozhou, Feng Jue is still angry.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jing felt a little pain in his brain.
Could the situation get any worse than it is now
