Chapter 999: Intercepting the Grain Road

"If there is a dispute, there must be a reason for it..." Jia Xu said calmly, "Fighting and fighting is to hide the eyes and ears of others..."

Xu Huang asked: "Hiding people's eyes and ears? What's the meaning of this?"

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, with shrewd light shining in his slender eyes. He took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, placed it on the table and unfolded it, as if it was a general topographic map of Yinshan Mountain.

Xu Huang couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Jia Xu. Unexpectedly, this guy who usually seemed to be idle and panicked had unknowingly touched the area around Yinshan...

Jia Xu pointed at the overview map with his finger and said: "Xu Lieutenant, please look at where the place where fights frequently occur in Japan is located?"

Xu Huang frowned and looked at the small dots marked by Jia Xu on the overview map that represented disputes and fights over territory. The more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong.

These small dots surround the entire terrain of Yinshan Mountain, almost all over the key points of transportation roads to and from Yinshan Mountain, as well as areas near the fortress close to the camp gate...

Xu Huang suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Thief! How brave, to play such a trick under someone's nose!"

The entire government structure of Yinshan is still in its infancy, and many things cannot be arranged in place. After all, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, and Ma Yue all have their own responsibilities, so many things are just a general framework. Many times It is not managed to a very detailed level.

Although Xu Huang had some doubts in his mind before, he had new answers in front of Jia Xu's overview picture.

There were originally no places where Han people settled near Yinshan Mountain, and because the overall area was large, people were initially distributed along both sides of the road based on the principles of convenience and proximity.

After all, Xu Huang and the other three were military commanders, so they only made a rough plan and did not manage these matters in detail. But now, looking at it, it is obvious that there is a problem.

Jia Xu stretched out his palm and pressed it down, gestured, and said: "Xu Lieutenant, please be patient... How can we judge him guilty based on this alone? What do you want to do?"

Regardless of whether the fights were intentional or unintentional, since they have been punished before, and now they suddenly rush over to arrest them again and accuse them of crimes, let alone other things, what benefit does it have to the stability of the people's hearts?

Regarding the matter of people's hearts, no matter whether it is right or wrong, even if they don't understand the incident at all, most of them will still subconsciously tend to the side that seems to be the weak one. Assuming that Xu Huang now leads a large force to directly attack these people, If all the people are captured or killed, it can certainly avoid temporary trouble, but it may leave a very bad impression on the people...

These people were originally unwilling to travel thousands of miles to live next to the Hu people. It was uncultivated land, and they were always facing the threat of war. They were already a little anxious. If something happened again, they would be worried. These people feel panicked. If they have not yet established household registration, it is difficult to avoid the situation of people fleeing secretly.

Once some of these ordinary people begin to flee, their blind herd mentality will affect more people. This will not only weaken the power of the Han people in Yinshan, but also cause a huge damage to the food and grass that Fei Qian had invested in the Yinshan area. waste.

It is necessary to maintain the stability of the Han people on the Yinshan side, not to make fun of the Huns, and at the same time not to expose any flaws, but also to expose the hidden dangers and eliminate them completely. This is not just mindless beating, killing and killing can completely solve it. Yes.

Jia Xu stroked his beard slightly and said, "Xianbei is about to come. Colonel Xu has applied to transfer military rations..."

Xu Huang's face was as dark as water, and there was anger that could not be concealed in his brows, and he said: "... Wen He means, this thief wants to rob our army rations?!"

When Yinshan was first cultivated, it was naturally impossible to be self-sufficient and needed to be transported from Pingyang.

"If you don't move food and grass, why is Yinshan in chaos?" Jia Xu also said with a stern face.

Since ancient times, as long as they have food and clothing, most people will not mess up. If you want to profit from it, you must first cause chaos in Yinshan, and food and grass, an important stabilizing factor, must be its target.

Xu Huang's cheeks jumped twice and he said word by word: "Shameless thief! Ungrateful!"

Jia Xu smiled faintly and was noncommittal, because from Fei Qian's perspective, this matter might be just like what Xu Huang said, but what about from another perspective?

It's just that the position under the buttocks is different, but now that I have come to Yinshan, what tricks do I want to play under my nose, hehehe...

…………………………

Fei Qian's military supplies came and went between Pingyang and Yinshan, which actually attracted some people's attention.

To the south of Yinshan Fortress, in a gathering camp near the road, two men were squatting together, looking at the fortress of Fei Qian's army outside the fence, and talking in a low voice.

"Did the Commander-in-Chief really say that?" Yang Feng's eyes on his dark face were shining, as he finally had to wait for this day.

Wulu, who was sitting opposite Yang Feng, nodded, then looked around at the surrounding situation, and then whispered: "A batch of weapons will be delivered tomorrow, and then..."

The more Wulu spoke, the lower his voice became, until he could no longer hear it.

The Black Mountain Army has always wanted a piece of land of their own, a real land that can be cultivated, and no longer have to deal with the rocks all over the mountains and plains. However, this wish has never been realized.

Yang Feng and Wulu, although their faces and bodies were covered with dust and mud at this moment, no different from ordinary farmers, their spirits were very high, and their heads were almost touching. at.

It has to be said that wanting a piece of land is not only the idea of ​​Zhang Yan, the commander of Montenegro, it has also become an obsession of these commanders of Montenegro.

Regarding Fei Qian's move to disperse and relocate their personnel, this group of Montenegrins quickly found a way to let some small leaders act as leaders and lead them to Pingyang, while people like Yang Feng or Wulu mixed in. Among the ordinary Montenegrin people, the small leaders were left in Pingyang, while Yang Feng and Wulu followed most of the people to Yinshan Mountain.

Zhao Yun was willing to believe Fei Qian, because Zhao Yun did get what he wanted from Fei Qian, including opportunities to study, opportunities to be promoted, and opportunities to transition from black to white. However, these old commanders of Montenegro were I have a different idea - no official is a good person!

If you don't want to be bullied by these officials in the end, it's better to take your destiny into your own hands from the beginning!

However, with the development of Yinshan, Fei Qian's authority gradually increased, and it seemed that such hope was disappearing little by little. However, he did not expect that another opportunity would be presented to the Black Mountain Army.

As long as you seize this opportunity, all the hard work will be worth it. The Montenegro Army can get rid of the restriction of not having land, and the population of hundreds of thousands can be fully developed. In today's world, why should we put our lives in the hands of others?

Regardless of Fei Qian's great reputation, how many troops does Fei Qian have in total?

What's more, there are Xianbei people at the front...

"Commander, what will we do then? Do we want to take action?"

"Hehe, our people won't move for now... Anyway, it's only about these two days..." Yang Feng patted Wulu's shoulder with his big hand, turned his head slightly and pouted to one side, and then said, "... ...Then, we should cause some trouble for that person... These guys yell and drink all day long, and the whip wounds on my back are still a little painful. Why should we get back some of our capital and profits, right? "

The two looked at each other, then chuckled.

…………………………

Zhang Baiqi of the Black Mountain Army, with his men and horses, had quietly bypassed Luliang Mountain and arrived near Meiji.

The southern palace of the Huns was now in a state of disarray, with no human habitation within a radius of dozens of miles. It was perfect for hiding troops and supplying war horses for reorganization.

Now the war horses of the Black Mountain Army were all obtained from Gongsun Zan. In fact, most of them were horses from the Wuhuan people, but these are irrelevant. Now Zhang Baiqi wants to cut off the food supply route for the Fei Qian Army first!

Zhang Baiqi was really impressed by Zhang Yan's arrangement this time.

Cut off Fei Qian's military supplies first, and then Yin Mountain will definitely be in chaos. And if Yin Mountain is in chaos, then the Xianbei people outside Yin Mountain will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. When Fei Qian's garrison and Xianbei army, which have suffered both losses, are exhausted, finally The result must be the best opportunity for the Montenegrin Army...

Of course, there are risks.

But if you don’t take risks, you may end up with nothing. The current situation of the Han Dynasty is complicated and confusing, and there are fights everywhere. If we don't take this opportunity to fight for a piece of territory, should we wait until everything has settled before taking action?

"Commander!" A scout rushed forward, "Grain and fodder! From the south, the food and fodder from the south has arrived!"

Zhang Baiqi laughed loudly, gave a heavy high-five, and shouted: "Come here, give me the order, get moving! It's coming alive! You little bastards, if you work hard, you can let go and eat at night!"

Zhang Baiqi brought a full two thousand cavalry this time, which was also the maximum number that Montenegro could draw at this stage. The main reason was that the horses were difficult to get, and the riders were difficult to find.

Zhang Yan had nothing to do about the war horses. If Gongsun Zan hadn't sent a batch of them as a condition for cooperation, he might not have been able to set them up. As for the cavalry, after all, the Black Mountain Army had a huge base, only two to three thousand. People know how to ride, and after practicing for a while, they can barely go into battle. Of course, battle formations, riding and shooting are all uneven...

The two thousand cavalrymen, who were said to be more like horse thieves, set off from Meiji in a swarm and ran along the valley, like wasps that had been stabbed hard in their nest, screaming and screaming all the way. To the food transport troops coming from afar.

In fact, this army was not under Fei Qian's rule, but belonged to Cui Jun of Xihe County.

Since Fei Qian left Yinshan and went to Guanzhong, Cui Jun did not stay in the Zhenlin Camp for long before he returned to the headquarters of Xihe County and handed over the Zhenlin Camp to one of his generals.

This partial general is usually stationed in the Zhenlin Camp. He is only responsible for arranging the transportation of military rations, equipment, manpower, etc. It is actually quite an easy task, and it has always been peaceful, so They gradually relaxed, so when the grain transport team heading from Zhenlin to Yinshan was suddenly attacked, almost everyone was dumbfounded and unable to react...

Neither the escorting soldiers nor the civilian laborers expected that enemy troops would appear here. They had always thought that this road was extremely safe. There were only hardships on the road, but there was no danger. Suddenly, thousands of people were seen. The cavalry rushed over without any preparation and collapsed all of a sudden.

Although the military leader responsible for transporting grain and grass calmed down to some extent, he shouted loudly, hoping to instruct his subordinates to arrange the baggage trucks transporting grain and grass to form a vehicle formation, and then defend within the vehicle formation, but he was stunned. Ordinary soldiers were already panicking, and their movements were slow. Even if there was an order, some were still indistinguishable from left to right, and then several baggage trucks crashed into one place, making the scene even more chaotic...

As for the civilians, they were even more frightened. Many of them secretly dropped their food and grass while the soldiers escorting them were not paying attention, and fled into the grass or bushes on both sides of the road.

The chaotic team had no way to form an effective barrier. Zhang Baiqi quickly led his men and horses to rush in, charging and killing, and easily crushed the last bit of resistance.

The Montenegrin cavalry screamed wantonly, rising and falling on their horses excitedly, chasing and slashing the fleeing crowd, bringing with them a lot of blood. The members of the food transport team were in a panic. They only knew how to run and dodge. What little courage they had disappeared without a trace amidst the screams and blood of others around them.

"Surrender! We surrender! Don't kill us..." Seeing that he could not run away, a soldier threw away his sword and gun and fell to his knees, kowtowing and begging loudly for mercy, not even daring to raise his head.

"We are civilian laborers, coolies! Don't kill us!" Some civilian laborers who were unable to escape trembled and huddled beside the wheels of the baggage train, hiding under the carriage, with pale faces, holding their heads and howling uncontrollably. .

The knights of Montenegro galloped back and forth. Zhang Baiqi laughed and waved his blood-stained sword. The rapid sound of horse hooves stirred up bursts of smoke and dust, completely engulfing the entire grain transport team.

The battle was short and ended quickly.

Several baggage trucks fell to the ground, and the originally tied grain and grass bags were scattered on the ground. Some wheat grains were scattered out, exuding an attractive luster. Several Montenegrin soldiers laughed and just grabbed a handful and ate them...

"Damn it, you starving ghost!" Zhang Baiqi scolded with a smile, and then waved his sword, "Closing the team... take everything you can carry, and those who can't... burn..."
