Chapter 582: The Power of the Grain Protection Army

"Is... leaving now?"

And in front of Mingzhou Fucheng, as the turbulent wind blew up, the entire battle formation was filled with flying sand and rocks, ghosts and gods crying and howling, everyone was dazed and covered their faces with their sleeves.

When the wind stopped and I opened my eyes to look again, I saw that the two surnames Hu and Meng were gone, just like in a dream.

Looking at the hungry ghost army in front of them, they had already died in large numbers, leaving only corpses with strange expressions, either repentant or calm, but no longer resentful.

Of course, not all of them were dead. There were still three to five hundred people alive, but they had all laid down their weapons and knelt down in front of the city. They no longer looked like the ferocious hungry ghosts they had been before.

"them……"

Yang Gongdu didn't react for a moment. He looked at where a strange heavy mace was standing, and there was a spiderweb-like pit on the ground.

"General, it's time to enter the city."

While he was in a state of confusion, Tiezuizi beside him also took a deep look at the nobleman's tent. He calmed down and smiled at Yang Gong, "It's the general's blessing."

"The stranger took action and suppressed the hungry ghosts for the general. All kinds of ghosts and gods also came to help. It can be seen that the general is the true destiny."

"Now that the grain-protecting army has won, the gates of Mingzhou City are opening, and it's time for the general to enter the city!"

"..."

"Enter the city, enter the city..."

And as more and more people reacted, some people in the food protection army began to shout loudly, and the voices merged into one, like a huge wave of water, surging and swaying.

"good……"

Yang Gong actually still had a lot of doubts and puzzles in his heart.

Earlier, as a disciple of the Red Lantern Empress, he was considered a member of the sect, but his level was not high and he had never experienced any high-level magic techniques.

Now that my eyes have been opened, I am naturally in awe of these various methods. I feel a little uneasy for a moment, but then I think of the identity of that noble man, and I feel relieved for a moment. He lowers his head and touches her gently. He quickly put the sword back into its sheath with a trace of blood on it, took a deep breath, and shouted: "My sons, enter the city!"

Now that the city gate of Mingzhou was wide open, it looked as if Yang Gong was specially welcomed into the city.

The Tiezuizi military advisor also followed Yang Gong on horseback and said, "The hungry ghosts are burdened with sins and cannot be forgiven. But they voluntarily die to atone for their sins, so there is no need to embarrass them too much."

"The general will arrange for people to come, collect their corpses, and bury them somewhere. The remaining hungry ghosts don't have that strong ghost energy. They probably have never eaten people, or they have eaten people unwillingly, so there is no need to kill them anymore. Let them take some rice soup to keep themselves healthy, and they can work with the general to atone for their sins in the future. Now it depends on the nobles in the city. "

"Our food security army is on the battlefield in a dignified manner. After defeating the Hungry Ghost Army, we should freely enter the city. Let's see if they dare to stop us!"

"..."

Not only did he think this way, but the worshipers and shopkeepers in the Red Lantern Society were also worried.

The Red Lantern Club had a great reputation in the early days and was known as the most harmful thing in Mingzhou. It seemed that it was unparalleled in popularity, but they knew that the Red Lantern Club was not the one with the most experts or the most capable people.

In this city, both the government offices and the noble lords each have their own private soldiers and support some strangers, and they just sit back and do not cause trouble.

Although the food-protecting army has defeated the hungry ghosts now, the hungry ghosts are from outside. Are they willing to let the food-protecting army enter the city?

If they don't allow it, I'm afraid there will be another fight!

But when he entered the city, no one dared to stop him, and then he came to his senses.

In the city of Mingzhou, there are naturally wealthy families and noble lords.

But in this small Mingzhou, the so-called noble masters are not as good as a toe of that noble Hu family.

When facing the Hungry Ghost Army, the nobleman of the Hu family first praised the general who was protecting the grain for being better than the hungry ghost army, and then borrowed the general's sword to kill General Tianming.

Is this knife easy to borrow?

Others would only borrow swords from one of their own, so anyone with a discerning eye would understand that Zhenzong Mansion had made its attitude clear by borrowing General Baoliang's sword.

In this case, who else in Mingzhou city dares to block the way of this general who protects food?

So, Yang Gong followed suit and immediately led a thousand soldiers into Mingzhou City. However, the army followed the advice of Tiezuizi's military advisor and only set up camp outside the city in order not to disturb the people.

After entering the city, he went to the government office, discussed his merits and rewarded him, met with the officials, sealed the granaries, and placed notices everywhere to reassure the people.

The most representative scene was when a red lantern was held high in front of the gate of Mingzhou City, and General Baoliang personally led people to burn incense.

One of the affairs was naturally very busy. If it was just Yang Gong, it really couldn't be handled. But there were so many strange people around him, but they were handled one by one very properly. He entered the government office first, hung up the red lantern, and then They rewarded each other based on their merits and held a banquet in honor of the White Armored Army who came to help from Shima Town. The two sides promised to put loyalty first, exchange information, and advance and retreat together.

It was also when the banquet was held that Yang Gong looked again and found that many people who had exerted their strength and made great achievements when he faced off against the Hungry Ghost Army had quietly left.

He also knew that these strangers were not running for his own sake. As a small food-protecting army, they could not keep them, so they could only thank them from a distance.

In fact, not only these strangers, but also the ten thousand food security troops cannot all stay with them in the end. There will be many more who will soon return to the villages.

It was two days after everything was settled. Only then did all the nobles in the city come to pay their respects with generous gifts.

Normally, the first thing anyone entering Mingzhou City would do is discuss with them. After all, they have high status and familiar faces. They are the first-class people in Mingzhou City. But, they This kind of face is not easy to use in front of the food security army. In the past, the food security army rewarded them based on their merits, and few of them were assigned to them, so they could only wait.

Finally, when it was time to formally pay homage to the general who protected the food supply, the young and old already kowtowed as soon as he came in and shouted: "Your Majesty, the General who protects the food supply, the people of Mingzhou are blessed."

‘They are convinced and are willing to call this food-protecting general the food-protecting king, thus giving him this title. ’

The disciples in Bushi Niu sighed in their hearts when they heard this movement. They felt that this great event had been accomplished, and Bu Shi Niu had brought out another grass-headed king.

It's just that this name doesn't sound very nice. Bao Liang, Bao Liang may not be able to control people, but I have to think carefully about what kind of king title I should use.

But unexpectedly, Yang Gong heard the names of the people below. Facing these noble masters, he didn't show any pretense and shouted: "I am not a king, don't call me random names."

"I am originally from the mountains, but I couldn't bear to see the people being deprived of their last grain of food and starving to death, so I brought people out of the mountains just to protect the livelihood of the people in Mingzhou. What should you do? Don't rush to give me anything. I wear this big hat, and now I see you all bringing jewelry, gold, silver, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs to me, what’s the use of it?”

"If you give these jewels, gold and silver to people who are starving to death, can they see it?"

"These cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs can burst my stomach and I still can't finish it, but what about the people who are still starving in the mountains?"

"Let's get real!"

"If you really want to satisfy me, you might as well bring out more grain and give porridge to provide disaster relief. Don't let the neighbors fail to survive next year's harvest. I will accept your favor!"

"..."

"..."

Seeing his resolute attitude, the nobles only nodded in agreement. When the notice was issued, there was another round of cheers.

"It seems different from the previous grass-headed kings?"

After watching it for a few days, coupled with the fact that Yang Gong was resolute and refused to use his name, he did not accept the kindness of those noble gentlemen, and he was not in a hurry to assign officials and titles. Even these disciples who did not eat cows felt that Xia also felt a little strange. They had done similar things in the past, but every time they could not avoid dealing with these noble masters, and they were even coerced.

But this food security army seems to be holding on?

Even with their experience of twenty years of rebellion, they were still unable to accurately explain this difference.

"The leader deserves to be the leader..."

In the past few days in the army, I was too lazy to fight and kill. Fairy Miaoshan, who had been in charge of the food and grass accounts, could only feel that the food protection army had become so powerful all at once, shaking her head and admiring her head.

"Master is really powerful. When Xiao Dou Guan saw him, he wanted to kowtow..."

Douguan next to her was full of praise when she mentioned Master, and said: "But Auntie, I think you haven't understood what is so great about Master!"

Fairy Miaoshan was immediately displeased and glared at him: "I introduced all the leaders into the sect, and I singled them out. I don't understand, do you understand?"

"Guan Dou was not smart. He didn't win the imperial examination until he was ten years old. He passed away before becoming an official after winning the imperial examination. Of course he can't compare with my aunt."

Dou Guan hurriedly went to Fairy Miaoshan and said, "But I see how master is doing this. He is very clever."

"We are also rebelling in Shima Town. The other uncles and masters have also done a lot of work. What is the most troublesome thing?"

"That means no matter how much preparation you have made and how much effort you have put into this big event, once you are crowned king, you will find that you are surrounded by noble people."

"Fight for the world, fight for the world, no matter how you fight, who wins and who loses, in the end you will share the world with the nobles, but Mingzhou is the only place that is different."

"Those people used the banner of nobles at first to coax those nobles into giving money and giving money, but it turned out to be a joke."

"Now that the grain-protecting army has entered the city on its own ability, those noble gentlemen have no luster on their faces now. It won't be that easy to get in front of the grain-protecting general again!"

"In this way, if something happens in the future, when the food-protecting general speaks, there won't be so many people interrupting..."

"..."

Fairy Miaoshan listened for a long time, but she didn't understand. She just curled her lips and said, "You are as big as a mung bean, what do you know? Don't talk nonsense in front of others, so as not to cause me to be looked down upon..."

Douguan said hurriedly: "It's absolutely true. Next time I see Master, I will only kowtow and say nothing else!"

"It's just that Dou Guan is curious. He always feels that Master is making such a big move not just for the sake of the food security army. I'm afraid there will be more ruthless means later..."

"But that probably won't convince the living people, it will have to convince the ghosts and gods..."
