The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

Chapter 35 Beginning ([-])

Three days later, on January 26 of the second year of the new calendar.

After lurking for three full days, Guan Hai and Lu Fang finally found the opportunity to assassinate the Eight Banners soldiers in Zeyu City.

This is a group of eight people. After leaving Zeyu City, they quickly spread out in groups of two and ran towards the west side at the same time.

Seeing this, Guan Hai typed a code word, and followed quickly.

Zeyu City.

Mao Hai sat on the chair, listening to the report of his subordinates, but his mind was a little far away.

The ancestor of Maohai belonged to the Boerjun family, who also belonged to Xianglan Banner. After Huang Taiji entered the Central Plains, the ancestor of Boerjun moved to Shuzhong.

After coming to this world, he was summoned by Patriarch Borjun Jiahang, who said that an emperor had come to this land of Bashu, and ordered him to go out and look for it.

Maohai didn't know how the Patriarch knew about it, so he couldn't help feeling puzzled. He traveled hundreds of miles in the past month, but he didn't have a clue.

Until yesterday, in a dream, in this lord's mansion, there seemed to be a feeling somewhere in the heart, dreaming that the emperor came to the west.

But Maohai was not sure, it was a dream after all, so he could not do it right, so he only sent eight people to look for it, but he didn't leave, thinking that he would go back to inform the Patriarch after the news was confirmed.

While thinking, the sound of reports from his subordinates came intermittently in his ears.

"Zuo Ling, listen to the report from the spies below. This Wuyang City recently opened a granary, set up a porridge shed outside the city, and even gave out porridge every day. In just two days, thousands of people have gathered. The subordinates think this is quite serious. abnormal."

"Huh? There is such a thing? Is the news accurate?" Mao Hai also sat up straight when he heard it, feeling puzzled.

I only knew about Chai Migui when I was in charge. Ever since I got this Zeyu City, Maohai was often troubled by the matter of food and grass. For this reason, he drove away more than a hundred residents. If it weren't for the need for some people to reinforce the damaged city wall , Maohai planned to drive out all the residents in the city in one go.

The sense of superiority of being an authentic disciple of the Eight Banners made Maohai look down on these Han people.

"Zuo Ling, this news is absolutely true."

After getting the exact answer, Mao Hai couldn't help but coldly snorted: "I was a bit apprehensive about the benevolence of a woman, but now it seems that the Lord of Wuyang City is also a foolish person, so there is nothing to worry about, listen to my orders!"

"Yes!"

"In the past few days, we need to speed up the construction of the city wall, and at the same time, we must pay close attention to the training of soldiers. Since we got this Zeyu City, I think some people are also tired. , we also need to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.”

"Yes!"

Swinging his subordinates back, Mao Hai stood up from the chair, his mind turned. Although he just scolded the Lord of Wuyang for being stupid and confused, Mao Hai didn't think so in his heart, and he just acted for his subordinates.

Maohai guessed that the city lord of Wuyang would most likely come to attack him, although he didn't know what good it would be for him to attack him, for food?Now the grain and grass in Zeyu City are only enough for two months, and it is not very useful to get it. For this Zeyu City?It's just an empty city, what's the use of it?
Although I was puzzled, this matter was too strange. Could it be that the Lord of Wuyang wanted to die?
Mao Hai didn't believe it, it had nothing to do with tricks, it was just the most basic judgment.

Even if it is out of caution, you have to make plans early.

As a leader, he naturally knows the strengths and weaknesses of his subordinates. He is good at riding and shooting, and is good at attacking the city. He is good at fighting in the open and open. As for defending the city, he is not proficient.

There is a great general in this Wuyang City, with astonishing force, I am afraid that he is even a little bit higher than the previous Sun Xin. If his side disperses the few soldiers to the city wall to defend it, it will definitely not be able to defend it, and it cannot be like the original one. In addition, Maohai did not believe in these Han people, so if they really rebelled, they would be attacked by the enemy instead, and the situation would be even worse.

Walking back and forth in the lord's mansion, the sense of superiority and aggressiveness in my heart was aroused instead.

So what about the decisive battle, how could I be afraid of him?

Meanwhile, outside the city.

Guan Hai rode on his horse and quickly caught up with the two Eight Banners soldiers. He slashed down with the Qianniu knife in his hand, and blood gushed out. In just a few tens of seconds, the two Eight Banners soldiers were beheaded.

Without pausing, Guan Hai turned his horse's head and continued to pursue westward.

Half an hour later, Guan Hai and Lu Fang met at the same place to check the results of the battle.

"General, there are two people who escaped."

After checking, Lu Fang said.

Guan Hai also nodded when he heard the words. This group of Eight Banners soldiers has been scattered since leaving the city. Although the direction is the same, it will take time to kill them. These are not ordinary soldiers. They are all brave and good at fighting. more.

Two of them ran into the woods, but when Guan Hai chased them again, they were already gone.

"It's not bad to be able to kill six people, collect the corpses, and let's return to the city."

Throwing the corpse onto the horse's back, Guan Hai got on the horse and rushed towards Wuyang City with Lu Fang.

……

Wuyang City.

After three consecutive days of porridge distribution, the grain inventory has been reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lucheng now asks Liu Qi, the director of the Department of Agriculture, to report the specific situation every day.

Of course, Lucheng is not going to beat a swollen face to make a fat man, and give out porridge without limit. Now the number of refugees outside the city is still controlled.

According to statistics yesterday, there were more than [-] people.

As for the other refugees who came from the outer city, Lucheng didn't plan to take care of them.

After three days of giving porridge, the situation of the refugees has improved to a certain extent, and the number of daily starvation deaths has gradually decreased.

In a few days, Lucheng also intends to properly recruit some people, starting with 100 people.

After processing the documents for the day, Lucheng came to the city wall as usual.

At this time, fifteen simple porridge sheds have been built, and the iron pots have also been set up.

The refugees were brought up to receive the porridge in batches, including women and children, as well as gray-haired old people.

Consecutive days of porridge handouts have resulted in countless lives, and the mass death that was about to happen has also been successfully contained.

"My lord, live a long life, live a long life!" When the porridge was finished, someone began to shout, and then the voice became louder and louder.

The sound resounded over Wuyang City, straight to the sky, and the guards at the side couldn't help being moved when they saw it.

Standing on the city wall, Lucheng couldn't help but feel his heart ebb and flow.

"People say that the people's support is useful, but it's also terrifying!"

"Officials read the books of sages and sages to do decent things and to benefit the people of one side. This is integrity and righteousness. But I am only a small city lord with no more than a hundred soldiers and no more than ten generals. I really don't have the ability to take on this responsibility. , there is only so much you can do.”

With a murmur in his mouth, Lucheng knew in his heart that what he did was useless after all.

Although it raised some popularity, it couldn't really be transformed into the help of Wuyang City.

But at this time, there is nothing to regret, the determination has been made, and it can be carried out.
