Chapter 22 The place where the king was buried

"Gaocang Ling, if you don't come out again, it will be difficult for us to deliver..."

"That's right, Gao Cang Ling, can you hurry up with our entry into the warehouse this time? This has been delayed for several days. If we don't start, the return trip will be delayed."

"What are you talking about? We are not much closer than you!"

Wang Buxu's prediction was a bit wrong. It happens to be September now.

What does September mean?

It means autumn harvest!

After the autumn harvest, grain must be collected from various places and then transported to Aocang for transfer to other places.

What Wang Buxuan was looking at before was just the normal entry records.

Therefore, the food currently stranded outside alone amounts to millions of dan.

Let’s talk about Aocang. The maximum capacity of Aocang is tens of millions of stones of grain, but only less than one-third of the grain is stored in the warehouse. These are all warehouses that were vacated in advance for the next autumn harvest.

Therefore, Gao Gao knew very well what it would mean to the Qin Dynasty once he collected these grains.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty continued to increase the number of labor conscripts, build the Great Wall, and build various national projects.

On average, it is considered good if two out of ten households are still fully engaged in farming.

Therefore, for the people, the shortage of food has become more and more serious. A large amount of cultivated land has been idle, and there is no manpower to cultivate it.

But even so, the imperial court still wanted to increase the collection of labor.

This is the main point of disagreement between Li Si and Zhao Gao.

Li Si believes that the purpose of cooperating with you, Zhao Gao, in putting Hu Hai on the throne was to wait for Hu Hai to order to reduce the scale of the project so that the people could cultivate their health and recuperate.

But Zhao Gao later regretted it. Not only did he not follow the agreement during the Sand Dune Incident, but he went even further.

But even so, the imperial court still had enough food to ensure the normal consumption of these labors and the army.

But now that Aocang has been lost, and a batch of grain has been stored by Wang Buxu, it is foreseeable that within the next year, unless heavy troops are sent to capture Aocang, the entire central and south, north, south, and four directions will be destroyed.

There will be widespread food shortages.

But the choice has been made, and now many things are no longer up to you.

"Don't panic, everyone. A few days ago, a large-scale rebel force appeared near Aocang. The defenders suffered some casualties while suppressing the rebellion. Liu Xiaowei was worried that the rebels would take the opportunity to come back, so he has been

The bandits have been secretly searched for. Now that the bandits near Aoshan have been cleared, everyone can enter the warehouse safely. In order to speed up the entry of everyone, I asked Lieutenant Liu to send some soldiers to help. We will try to complete the entry in two days.

Cang!" Gao Aao stood at a high place and recounted the recent events in a very official manner.

Every sentence is reasonable and well-founded, making it impossible for anyone to find anything wrong with it.

Gao Aao's words made people feel at ease. These food delivery teams were actually officially organized teams.

There are also strict requirements for distance and so on. If you delay for too long, you will still be fined.

Although Gao Ao didn't say it clearly, when he responded to the orders to various places, he clearly wrote that the grain collection had been delayed for several days due to Aocang, and the date of grain collection was clearly marked on it.

In this way, they no longer have to rush when they return.

Anyway, Aocang Ling gave them a guarantee. When the time comes, they will know after asking around the neighboring counties that everyone is the same.

Seeing the Aocang warehouse getting fuller and fuller day by day, Wang Buxu felt quite comfortable.

This means that he can die here...

Although this is impossible.

Even if he wanted the dog to die here, some people would disagree, and all the troops passing by would definitely want to do something about it.

And the defenders of Xingyang...

It's really not weak at all.

For example, the fake king Wu Guang, who was on his way to the west, fought here for several months without making any progress. He was beaten to the ground by the newly recruited more than 20,000 Qin troops.

This sounded the clarion call for Chen Sheng's demise.

For example, a few years later Liu Bang was very excited to enter Guanzhong first and be crowned king.

As a result, when he marched into Xingyang, he was beaten by the Xingyang defenders and almost wiped out Liu Bang's entire army. If Xiao He hadn't been pulling troops from behind to replenish his troops, Liu Bang would not have been able to leave Xingyang, let alone enter the pass.

go.

Therefore, Xingyang is a sad place for all those who rebel against the king. It almost dragged one king to death...



Coinciding with the autumn harvest, grain was sent from various places.

Daliang County is about fifty miles west and Guanyi County is about fifty miles east.

A group of more than thirty people hid in a food team and moved forward slowly.

Zhang Liang bribed the generals who were responsible for escorting the people and promised to give them a ride on the road. Although they still had to work, the advantage was that they would not be inspected at checkpoints along the way.

Although the order clearly states how many people there are in the grain team, under the charm of money, these are not problems.

The reason for Zhang Liang and others was to go to Xianyang to seek refuge with relatives.

The already slow procession suddenly stopped. People on the road were anxious and raised their heads to see what was happening in front of them.

Delay is something that no one wants to face, especially for official business such as transporting grain.

At this time, almost the entire country was focused on collecting grain, and no one could afford to delay.

The soldier who went to inquire about the news came back and whispered a few words in General Bai's ear, and General Bai's face instantly turned black and blue.

"General Yang, I don't know what's going on ahead?" Zhang Liang was a little anxious. He needed to rush to Xingyang as soon as possible and then find Wang Buxian's whereabouts.

Along the way, he heard a lot of news about Wang Buxu, but he always felt that the news was a little untrue, as if it was deliberately released.

Looking at this man who was very eye-catching and respectful to him along the way, and greeted him with delicious food and drinks, although Yang He was in a bad mood, he still said patiently: "Aocang has been lost, and now we are in a dilemma!"

"What? Aocang fell?" Zhang Liang suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Yang He in disbelief: "This... how is this possible? How could Song Zhong's peasant army capture Aocang? Could it be that thousands of people defended Aocang?

Jun fell asleep?"

"It's not Song Zhong. Song Zhong was killed by the Aocang defenders and was completely defeated. It is said that they were another group of people, probably rebels!" Yang He said with a frown.

Of course Zhang Liang understood what the rebels were referring to?

So, the person who captured Aocang was the boss he was about to defect to, Wang Buxu?

"What the hell..." Zhang Liang couldn't help but cursed.

"Brother Zhang, you have so many ideas. What do you think I should do now? The food team can't wait here, right?" Yang He asked sadly. The food gathered here could easily attract some people's attention.

If he peeps and fails to pay, then it is his responsibility.

Zhang Liang thought hard. Wang Buxu suddenly captured Aocang. Although it was a surprise, it also had a big problem.

Well, I don’t seem qualified to say that Wang is not hungry.

They managed to rally the team and fought some good battles.

What about yourself?

He pulled a team of more than a hundred people, and was beaten by the pavilion chief and his men, running around like a grandson. If not for this, how could he have decided to give up his great cause immediately after hearing the news about Wang Buxu?

, are you not hungry when you come to seek refuge with the king?

"Let's go to Xingyang. That's the seat of Sanchuan County. Transporting food there is considered a business trip!" After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Zhang Liang led a team of more than 100 people to start the rebellion, and then he was really chased like dogs.

Running around, he decided not to play anymore, and planned to join Jing Ju, a peasant army leader who had proclaimed himself the false king of Chu. Then he met Liu Bang in Xiapi who was recruiting troops. Then, maybe due to gravity, Zhang Liang abandoned Jing Ju.

He took refuge in Liu Bang. But in fact, Zhang Liang's purpose was to regain Korea. Therefore, according to the original historical process, Zhang Liang would get the official position of Korean Prime Minister soon. Although he was a mere commander, later, South Korea really couldn't support Zhang Liang.
