Tieniu and Zhang Jin not only came with troops, but also more than a dozen officials, ready to deal with the granary.
After they killed Zhou Dingyuan, the matter was settled. However, not all the Han soldiers in the city surrendered. Several hundred households took their soldiers and escaped through the city gate.
The two men did not have enough troops and could not pursue them.
Before dawn, the two of them had basically nothing to do. Just let the soldiers guard the city gate and watch over the surrendered soldiers.
When it got light, Zhang Jin and Tieniu, who had taken a nap for a while, ate breakfast. Together they came to sit down in the county government hall.
Zhang Jin sat in the main seat, with Tie Niu as deputy.
After a while, the officials in the city were brought in, all like ostriches, with their heads lowered and trembling.
The county magistrate and county magistrate were killed last night, and their heads are still hanging at the city gate.
Zhang Jin sat tall and straight, with a pair of tiger eyes flashing with brilliance. There was no mercy at all, only full pressure.
He held the armrests of the Grand Master's chair with both hands and said in a deep voice: "You know the rules of our Beishan Castle."
"Commanders, magistrates, and magistrates. We will only kill the culprits. Then we will take away the people who are willing to follow us to Beishan Fort."
"But this time it will be different. We will take all the surrendered troops away. The people are willing to do so."
"Of course the coins, gold and silver, cloth, and military supplies in the treasury are also ours. But this is not enough. We can use the coins, gold and silver to buy food and cotton from the big households in the city."
"Please convey this to the big households and merchants in the city. Tell them not to play tricks. We have many spies in Beishan Fort. We know who has food and who has cotton."
Zhang Jin's tone was full of murderous intent. Tieniu next to him straightened his body, his eyes widened, and his left hand touched the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he wanted to draw the knife to kill.
Originally, Wu Nian was talking about love between you and me, and it didn't embarrass anyone. But this time, Meng Yuan Wanhu worked too hard. The fertile fields outside Beishan Fort, Tiancheng Fort, and Chengshan Fort could not even hope to harvest a grain of grain or a pound of cotton this year.
Money, gold and silver, those are useless things. Take it back to Beishan Castle and just put it in the warehouse to eat dust. They bought and sold by force, purchasing grain and cotton from the hands of big households and businessmen.
certainly.
Wu Nian is still very reasonable. After all, it takes ten years to build a reputation and only one day to ruin it.
Zhang Jin and Tieniu played dirty, buying and selling by force, but their prices were absolutely fair and they would not let these big households and businessmen suffer.
But if anyone dares not to sell, there is nothing they can do.
You can only grab it.
In short, in order to make up for the food shortage problem. They not only focused on Dingxian's granaries, but also on private grain and cotton.
And the surrendered troops.
The training has been very good, we can't let them continue to hang out with thousands of Han households. Take him back, even if you have to keep him under his care, raise him as a young man, build bridges and pave roads, etc.
When the officials heard that they were not killed, they immediately felt relieved. They all bent down and agreed that they would help General Zhang get this done.
then. Under the control of two very ferocious generals, Zhang Jin and Tieniu. Beishan Fort harvested a lot of grain, cotton, and people. They took the surrender troops with them and left Dingxian in a mighty manner and returned to Beishan Fort.
In the morning, the weather was sunny.
Outside the east gate of Beishan Fort. Liu Zhixing and Li Yong looked at the carts filled with supplies that continued to enter the city, smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay. Okay. Well done to you two lieutenants. The food supply for our Beishan Fort will be no problem this year." Liu Zhixing's face glowed red, he raised his head and cupped his hands to Tieniu and Zhang Jinyi.
"Yeah. Bite your teeth, save a little, and you can eat until winter." Li Yong had an old face and smiled broadly.
Food is their heartache.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. How can soldiers fight without food?
If the Meng Yuan people don't come, they themselves will collapse.
Zhang Jin and Tieniu are not stupid people. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they heard the meaning behind Liu Zhixing's words.
"Lord Chang Shi, who is the next city?" Zhang Jin took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bent down.
"The general finally attracted all the soldiers and horses. We have to capture a few more counties to collect grain and cotton." Tieniu nodded heavily, his face glowing with excitement.
"I have set the target. But don't worry, you two captains. Let's rest for a while. I have already dispatched fast horses to call back Wei Ru and Long Qie."
"One sneak attack in the tunnel, the surrounding counties should be on alert. It's useless."
"We have to concentrate our forces and storm the city."
Liu Zhixing had a smile on his face, gently pinching his soft beard, and he had a high-spirited attitude of pointing out the country.
The absence of thousands of households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty means there are no tigers in the mountains.
Who else can stop me?
"yes."
Zhang Jin and Tieniu thought the same thing, so they had no choice but to suppress their enthusiasm and salute with cupped fists.
"Let's go. It's really gratifying. Let's have a few drinks to celebrate." Li Yong clapped his hands gently and greeted everyone.
"Let's go. Have a few drinks."
"That's right. It's time to celebrate."
Everyone was smiling and crowded into the city.
.......
Jiang County.
On the city wall.
There is no wind today, so that the banner with the character "Zhang" hanging on the city gate tower hangs down, like a frosted eggplant, wilting.
The soldiers looked at a loss as they looked at the soldiers and horses of Beishan Fort in front of them, retreating like a tide.
This time the battle to defend the city was really thunderous but not rainy. Except for the first wave, where Beishan Fort's offensive was very fierce, the rest of Beishan Fort's offensive was just the same.
【soft】.
The mountains of defensive materials they prepared were not used at all. They were still piled on top of the city and might have to be moved back to the warehouse later.
Is this how Beishan Fort fights? The loud slogans shouted loudly, are they all bluff?
Of course the soldier was at a loss.
Zhang Bu knew it very well.
In the city, in the pavilion of Zhang Mansion. He took off his armor, took off his saber, wore Zhang Bu, a thin black shirt, and sat on a round stool with an ugly expression on his face.
Before Wei Ru and Long Qie withdrew their troops, he had already received news from Ding County.
Zhou Dingyuan was killed.
All the grain and materials stored in Ding County were moved away by Zhang Jin and Tieniu.
Big move.
This is a plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly.
be cheated.
Zhang Bu felt that he had been fooled, and while he was angry, he was helpless. It's hard for this clever woman to make a meal without rice. He only has the strength of five thousand captains at hand.
How can we defend three cities separately?
There must be many more cities that will be breached by Beishan Fort.
Zhang Bu couldn't help but stood up anxiously when he thought of this. He looked up to the north and said in his heart: "Four generals. You have to kill Wu Nian. If Wu Nian doesn't die, he will gain supplies and people, and he will really get wings."
Yes.
The city defenses of Yingqing Mansion and Guangyang Mansion are empty. The soldiers of Beishan Fort will definitely attack the city and seize the territory and have a good meal.
The population and supplies will increase greatly.
In addition, Wu Nian also has a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people.
If Wu Nian is allowed to return to Beishan Castle alive, his strength will be greatly increased. There are only a hundred households in the mountains, so Wu Nian can settle the population and train elite soldiers.
Developed steadily.
Wu Nian must die.
If Wu Nian does not die, there will be endless troubles.
