"Damn, these bandits are too bad, let alone food in the villages and towns, you can't even find a single person!"
In the front-line headquarters of the 20th Corps of the Anling County People's Army, Qin Shan, the fourth son of the Qin family, walked into the spacious and bright room cursing, grabbed the water bottle, raised his head, and poured water down his throat.
"Shan'er, you haven't collected military rations?"
Qin Feng, General Xiaoqi of the 20th Corps, was discussing with a group of aides how to march into the army. After hearing the words of the fourth son Qin Shan, he couldn't help asking.
Qin Shan said angrily: "Father, the bandit army has fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and we can't find a grain of food."
The 20th Corps of the People's Army now has nearly 200,000 troops. If it simply relies on the capital of Jiangbei Province to transport military rations to the front line, it will be under great pressure.
So Xiaoqi General Qin Feng wants to support the war with war, and strive to get some military supplies in the occupied area, so as to ease the pressure on logistics and transportation.
He specially sent his fourth son, Qin Shan, to collect military rations, but now he has not collected a single ration.
"General, there are some masters in this bandit army."
Hearing that the Qinghe army carried out fortified walls and cleared the fields in Anling County, without leaving a grain of food for them, the staff of the Qin family also realized that their opponents were not mobs.
"Hmph, if the bandits want to scare us away by relying on the solid wall to clear the field, I think they have miscalculated!" The old general Qin Feng let out a disdainful cold snort from his nostrils.
"Shan'er, if you expand the scope of food collection, you can't collect military food nearby, so you can go a little farther."
"The provincial capital of the command line has stepped up food transportation to ensure the supply of food and grass for the frontline troops."
Nearly 200,000 soldiers eat horse chews, and the daily food consumption is indeed an astronomical figure.
Ordinary food is good to say, as long as the transportation in the rear is smooth, it can also ensure that the soldiers can eat.
It's just that fresh vegetables and meat can only be collected locally because there is no effective way to preserve them. This is their past experience.
But now that the Qinghe Army is carrying out strong walls and clearing the fields, the surrounding villages and towns cannot collect these things. The 20th Corps of the Qin Family's Militia Army has no choice but to overcome such difficulties.
"Report!"
As soon as Qin Shan left, a soldier strode into the frontline headquarters.
"What's the matter?" Xiaoqi General Qin Feng asked.
"General Qi, a few people came outside. They said they came from Yunxi Mansion and asked to see the general."
"What kind of troubled world is this? Now all grannies and dogs have to see the general. Is the general so nice to see? Just drive them away." A lieutenant said impatiently after hearing this.
"Wait a minute."
The old general Qin Feng stopped the deputy general who was standing in his way.
"Did they say who they are?" Qin Feng asked.
The soldier clasped his hands and replied: "Reporting to the general, they said that they are from the Wang family, Wu family, and Feng family in Leyuan County and Dianhe County of Yunxi Prefecture."
"Ask them to come in."
Hearing that they were sent by the local gentry from Leyuan County and Dianhe County under Yunxi Mansion, veteran general Qin Feng's eyes lit up.
The Qin family has taken root in Jiangbei Province for many years, so they are naturally aware of all the big and small families in Jiangbei Province.
Although the families in Leyuan and Dianhe County are not as rich as the Qin family, they are still deeply rooted in the local area.
In the past, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't look at these country gentry and rich men who are commonly known as bumpkins. After all, their rich and powerful families also have to pay attention to their rank and blood.
The Qin family is unwilling to deal with these gentry and rich lords, after all, they have lost their noble status of the Qin family.
But it's different now. If the Qin family wants to plot Jiangbei province, they will definitely need the support of these gentry and rich men.
What's more, now that these gentry and rich men are in the Qinghe army's control area, they must have something to do if they take the initiative to ask for a meeting.
Even if there is nothing important, Qin Feng can still get some information about the Qinghe Army from their mouths.
Soon, several representatives sent by the squires from the counties under Yunxi Prefecture were invited into the living room of the front-line headquarters of the 20th Corps of the People's Army.
"Meet General Xiao¡ª¡ª"
In order to show their sincerity, these representatives of the squires are all nephews of their families. They sneaked out of the defense area of ??the Qinghe Army and came to see Xiaoqi General Qin Feng at great risk.
"Everyone please get up quickly."
Although the Leyuan and Dianhe gentry families sentThey are representatives, but Qin Feng still warmly received them.
"Have you ever eaten?"
Seeing these representatives of the country gentry whose clothes were torn by thorns and shoes full of mud, Qin Feng also greeted them with care.
"To tell you the truth, General Xiaoqi, we have gone through hardships along the way. We ate up all the dry food yesterday, and the surrounding area was cleared by fortified walls. We haven't found a single grain"
"Order the kitchen to cook a good meal quickly." Qin Feng immediately ordered the kitchen to cook.
"Thank you, General Xiaoqi."
These representatives of the squires were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they hurriedly cupped their hands in thanks.
After Qin Feng invited them to sit down, he ordered someone to serve them tea, and then asked them why they came.
"I don't know what's important for you to come to our army?" Qin Feng asked straight to the point.
"General Xiaoqi, you want to save the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunxi Mansion, and be the master for us."
After hearing Qin Feng's answer, a squire representative knelt down with a plop.
"What do you mean, get up quickly."
Qin Feng didn't expect the representative of the squire to kneel down with a plop, and hurriedly ordered him to get up.
"What grievances do you have? Although speaking, I, as the imperial court's Xiaoqi general, led 200,000 troops this time, and I came to make decisions for you."
Hearing that Qin Feng led an army of 200,000 people, the representatives of the squires shed tears, whether it was excitement or something.
"General, that bandit army is brutal and oppresses kindness. Not only forcibly confiscated the ancestral land of each family, but also forcibly confiscated the army rations. If they don't obey, they will be pulled out and beheaded. The bandit army occupied Yunxi In the past few months, more than 100,000 people have been killed, and the corpses are really lying all over the place, and the blood is flowing like a river"
The land of these gentry and rich lords was confiscated by the Qinghe Army and distributed to the general public, but now that they said it out of their mouths, the Qinghe Army suddenly became heinous.
They are even more embellished, exaggerating many things, and making up many things, which makes people feel extra indignant.
"This bandit army is really brutal!"
After hearing the descriptions of these representatives of the squires, Qin Feng also jumped up and seemed very angry.
"Why don't you run away?"
"General, the thieves are so fierce that they have set up checkpoints and roadblocks everywhere, and re-registered the register. If someone escapes, once they are caught, they will be delayed"
Qin Feng comforted: "It's really hard for you."
"Now the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunxi Mansion are eager for the general to defeat the bandit army and save us from fire and water. As long as we can drive away the bandit army, each of our families is willing to give money and food to comfort Master Wang."
Hearing that the country gentry were willing to contribute money and grain to the army, General Xiaoqi Qin Feng was also very pleased.
"Don't worry, although the thieves are fierce and brutal, the soldiers of my 20th Corps are also brave and good at fighting. Within a month, they will be completely wiped out, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunxi Mansion will be restored!"
