"My County Chief, are you pretending to be confused? Or haven't woken up? What's happening in the garrisons in various places now? You don't know what 800 people are? Haha, half of them are laughing! And how much combat power can be in this half? It depends on God."

The county magistrate Li Shun, who spoke, was a civil servant, but he was tall and had a waist and a fat face. His official robe was tightly supported. At first glance, he looked like a powerful general fighting on the battlefield. In contrast, the county magistrate Yang Ying seemed much weaker.

"Even if there are only 400 garrison troops, with my brother Yang Rong here, it will not be so easy for those rioters to capture the county town!"

Yang Ying said with a hard neck, obviously very confident in that clan brother Yang Rong.

"It doesn't mean it's not that easy. Without rescue, it's a matter of time before Shangyang County falls. I hope your clan brother can be loyal to the court at that time, otherwise your Yang family in Laiyang will be completely lost."

"you--"

"Okay! I called you here, not to let you argue here, just shut up!"

Yang Chong said with a dark face.

In the past, he was happy to watch the excitement when he saw his two deputy players not dealing with him, but at this time, the most important thing is to find a way to deal with the current crisis rather than quarrel here and make things happen.

You should know that not only are there hungry people in Shangyang County, but there are also many around Yinyang County. The entire Laiyang Prefecture has a total of more than one million people. If all these people join the rebellion, the entire Laiyang Prefecture will be over.

Seeing that his Shangguan was angry, Li Shun and the others quickly accused him and closed their mouths.

"Master Mu, tomorrow morning, you will immediately take people to the city to recruit Minzhuang. Be sure to recruit more than 10,000 people for this official!"

"Yes, sir!"

A middle-aged man standing beside Yang Chong bowed and responded.

"Yang County Magistrate, I will hand over the third yamen runners of the yamen to you. You should immediately light the arsenal equipment, block the city gate, and maintain public order. Without the order of my official, no one is allowed to enter and exit the city gate. Violators will be killed without any punishment!"

"Yang Ying takes the order!"

"Mr. Li, you are responsible for arranging the supplies that are urgently needed to guard the city. All the blacksmiths and carpenters in the city will be assigned to you, especially the arrowheads. The more the arrows, the better! As for you gentry families, the servants and guards in the mansion will be called to the yamen and obey the arrangements of the county magistrate!"

Just as Yang Chong issued an order in the yamen, other counties in Laiyang Prefecture also took action quickly. Mingyang County, the closest to Shangyang County, even sent an envoy to ask for support from other county towns behind.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for civil and military officials in Laiyang Prefecture.

The next day, for half a month, there was a rare little sunshine in the sky that had been drowsy.

Liu Feng didn't sleep well last night and woke up early in the morning. After a simple washing, the people outside brought a large bowl of blood-enriching porridge made from millet.

Looking at the steaming blood-replenishing porridge on the table, Liu Feng suddenly had a big appetite and drank all the whole bowl of porridge without leaving a grain of rice. He had tasted the taste of starvation in the past two days after traveling here. Only after experiencing these can he understand the preciousness of food and how happy it is to be able to eat enough.

"Woooooooooooooo~"

Rounding loud ox horns sounded from the city, and Chen Sheng and the others had already set off and left the county town and headed towards Mingyang County.

Liu Feng's heart moved and left the yard, walked up the city wall with his guards, and looked up at a team that was invisible to the end, leaving the county town through the city gate and walking towards the distance.

Chen Sheng's departure almost brought all the people of Shangyang County, young and old, and the number of people in the entire team reached tens of thousands!

But these tens of thousands of people seem to be popular, but in fact they are just good things. Most of them follow because they have no food at home and have no choice but to survive, and they are not really working hard for Chen Sheng.

“It’s time for us to set out.”

After watching for a while, Liu Feng turned around and walked down the city wall. Time was too long. He had to take Yinyang County within ten days so that he could complete the task.

Compared with Chen Sheng's huge team, the number of people in the three battalions under Liu Feng's command was much smaller, and the total number was less than two thousand people. However, the benefits of small people and fewer people were not only fast, but also not too eye-catching.

"Tieniu, send people to the villages near the county town. We have too few troops. Try to recruit as many young and strong people as possible."

On the way, Liu Feng gave Wang Tieniu a task. Now the people are so hungry that they are so hungry that they can recruit a large group of people as long as they have food.

"Yes, lord!"

After Wang Tieniu took the order, he found seven people to ride horses and disperse around.

In this way, as the team continued to approach Yinyang County, the number of people in the team continued to grow, and soon reached the 6,000th. With so many stutters, the pressure on Antai, the logistics manager, suddenly increased a lot.

"Lord, our food can only last for five days. After five days, if there is no replenishment, the food will be out of stock!"

As the night approached, after the team set up camp, the logistics manager An Tai reported to Liu Feng with a sad face.

When I was in Shangyang County, most of the searches were gold, silver, jewelry and antiques, and there was not much grain. After all, Shangyang County was just a small county town, located in a remote area and a limited area of ​​arable land. After all, it has been severe droughts for many years and has no harvest. In this place, even the landlords have no spare grain.

"Five days?"

Liu Feng pondered for a moment, turned to Yang Rong beside him and asked, "How far is it to Yinyang County?"

"At the speed today, we will set off early tomorrow morning and we will reach the boundary of Yinyang County at noon."

Yang Rong said respectfully.

"Do you know what larger landlord farms are near Yinyang County?"

"There are indeed several forts near Yinyang County, which are built by wealthy families in the city, but these forts are easy to defend but difficult to attack-"

"That's right, I can take this opportunity to practice troops!"

Liu Feng expressed his plans, and he immediately called Wang Tieniu and the newly appointed low-level officers together and began to assign tasks.

The next day, after Liu Feng led his troops into the boundary of Yinyang County, the six thousand people were immediately divided into several parts and moved in different directions. Their target was the forts located near Yinyang County.

"Lord! Yangjiawu Fort is not far ahead."

As noon approached, the scout who had been sent out to explore the way forward came back to report.

"Very good. Has anyone sent out to investigate in the county town?"

"No, the city gates are closed all the time, and we are not allowed to enter or exit. Our people keep watching. If there is any movement, we will send someone back to report immediately."

"It seems that I am planning to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle, so I will ignore the county town for the time being, and send orders to bury the pot and make rice."

Liu Feng issued an order.

"promise!"

With a wave of promises around, the entire team began to run quickly.
Chapter completed!
