Chapter 300 Chaos
The gray-haired old farmer stood barefoot in the field, looking depressed, but the old woman standing next to him kept wiping tears.
The large tracts of wheat that were growing extremely well in front of us were basically all gone after the army passed by.
Not to mention the indiscriminate eating of livestock, the thousands of troops trampling through these fields of wheat seedlings that have grown to calf height without mercy have basically destroyed the harvest of these crops. .
In this season, there is no chance to replant.
Plant in spring, work in summer, harvest in autumn, and store in winter.
Now even the roots have been dug up. How should we live this year?
The two old men supported each other and staggered towards the distance.
Li Dachui and Fang Xiaomao led their horses and walked slowly on the official road.
When I came here, the blue waves were rolling. When I saw those crops that were growing extremely well, I could imagine the golden waves of wheat during the autumn harvest. But with the current situation, in autumn, it is estimated that only some of the most tenacious weeds can survive. Grow it out.
"Sir, life around Luoyang is not going well this year!" Fang Mao Mao shook his head and said, "along the way, the farmland has basically been abandoned. It has either been trampled into roads, or simply cut down and turned into fodder for livestock. Don’t these people have brains?”
“It’s not that they don’t have brains, but some people don’t care, and some people do it deliberately.” Li Dachui said: “Do Yang Lixin’s Green Forest Army care about the harvest of the farmland. ? They are all guys who grab everything when it's gone. As for people like He Zudao, in order to make the north more chaotic and poorer, they will naturally destroy this year's harvest. You didn't notice that he did the most when he came here. What is it?”
“He Zudao is really bad!” Fang Mao Mao said angrily.
"He is going to the south. Once he reunites the army of the eight towns in the south and controls these areas, it will be equivalent to controlling these grain-producing areas. When the time comes, he will sell grain at a high price. Not only can he If you make a fortune, you can also use food to control more people. You know, when a famine occurs, food is more precious than gold and silver!" Li Dachui said: "From his perspective, it is natural to use every opportunity to weaken and strengthen the enemy. We have always used unscrupulous means to fight against the enemy, Xiaomao, aren’t we the same?”
Fang Xiaomao also fell silent for a while.
When they were outside the customs, they seemed to have no mercy on the people of the Yuan Kingdom.
The most recent incident was to directly burn down the houses of thousands of ordinary Yuan people near Qingtongxia, destroying their crops, leaving them displaced and forced to flee.
The reason for doing this is just to increase the burden on the enemies of Qingtongxia.
"Master, those are Yuan people!"
"But they are all human beings, right?" Li Dachui said: "Kitten, I never want to make excuses for myself, nor do I want to give myself Putting on a layer of moral cloak, I just want to say that we are actually not qualified to accuse He Zhidao, because essentially, we are the same type of people!”
"We are not!" Fang Mao Mao said loudly: "We are outside the customs. There are countless lives and rescues. Countless people live a better life because of us. Look at Helan Yuan, look at the current Aquarius State, and Those so-called black areas that were brought under our management were nothing but destruction. "When he got his own territory, he never saw it." I will work hard to build it! Only what belongs to me will be cherished. Who cares about other people's things? "Li Dachui looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds seemed to be forming like a heavy curtain. Just press it down. "It's going to rain!"
"It's going to rain!" said Fang Mao Mao: "The leaders of Luoyang City will probably have an even more difficult time."
He Zudao, Zhang Quanyi, Feng Congwen, three groups and multiple forces, totaling more than 100,000 troops, are fighting in Luoyang City.
No matter who wins or loses, Luoyang is definitely doomed.
"Luoyang was destroyed, and Chang'an was most affected." Li Dachui said: "Chang'an, as the capital of the Yong Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, has developed for nearly a thousand years. Although during the Yong Dynasty of Qin Dynasty, the population experienced a violent explosion. But in the past three hundred years, it has grown exponentially. With a population of nearly one million, do you know how much food, vegetables, and meat are eaten in a day? "
Fang Xiao The cat shook his head.
“More than 60% of Chang’an’s food supply comes from Luoyang, from the canal system!” Li Dachui continued: “When this lifeline is cut off, Chang’an will fall into chaos.”
“So Kou Zhong will come to defend Luoyang.”
“Everyone knows the importance of Luoyang to Chang’an, so Kou Zhong must die and Luoyang must collapse!” Li Dachui said: “Even if Zhang Quanyi regained Luoyang in the end , but what is left of Luoyang after being ravaged by He Zudao? Just ruins and countless mouths waiting for food. "Master, what do you think Linghuye will do next?"
< br>
Li Dachui smiled and said: "Of course he will not miss this opportunity. He will definitely use the excuse of quelling the chaos to lead his troops to Luoyang, seize this key point, and then further threaten Chang'an."
“Can one be Destroyed Luoyang?"
"Linghuye will move the excess people from Luoyang to Hedong." Li Dachui said: "Linghuye operates Hedong and Hexi as his base. , Hexi has few people, and Hedong After being killed indiscriminately by He Zudao, the population also dropped sharply. Linghuye will transfer a large number of people to these two places, whether it is the Hedong area or the Hetao area on the west side of Hexi, there is actually a lot of fertile land. ! Linghuye is outside the pass. After decades of farming, he will farm there again this time!"
"Then if he manages these two areas well, controls Luoyang, and then conquers Chang'an, he will really be like an emperor. Are you ready?" Fang Mao Mao whispered.
Li Dachui laughed: "Of course this is his wishful thinking. It may not go as he wants. It's hard to say. Didn't Feng Congwen tell us that the Hongnong Yang family invested in three companies in total, and Linghuye was just one of them? ? Then you think the other two families will watch Ling Huye get his wish? "
"Of course they will come to rob Luoyang and rob Chang'an!" He spread his hands and said: "Luoyang is in chaos, what a good opportunity it is now! Naturally, we have to raise troops immediately and come to Luoyang Chang'an, King Qin, to put down the rebellion. Xiaomao, just watch. By the time we get to Chang'an, there must have been some Several forces have taken action."
Fang Mao Mao suddenly said: "In this way, Chang'an, Luoyang and even the entire Guanzhong area will be plunged into chaos, with many parties competing to see who can have the last laugh. ”
“Yes, judging from previous experience, whoever can win in this struggle will basically win the world, but it’s hard to say! Yes!" Li Dachui said.
"Of course, I have you, sir!" said Fang Mao Mao: "We will watch them beat them to death outside the pass. When they are exhausted, we will deal with them again."
"He Zudao went to the south. , I think he will become a powerful force in the future." Li Dachui said thoughtfully: "This man is very clear-headed. He is not only a tiger, he is also a cunning fox!"
"We are not! Has Ke Wuji planted a nail next to him? Master, I don't think He Zudao and Ke Wuji have the same ideas. On the contrary, I think what you did outside the pass is inconsistent with that. What Ke Wuji said is somewhat similar!”
“What Ke Wuji said is exactly the same as what my mother thought back then, which was the legacy of their founder Qingfeng, but The development of anything must follow certain laws. If they want to impose something too advanced on this era, failure is inevitable. "
Fang Mao Mao takes it seriously.
"The best is the best. Society must develop step by step. You can't ask a little kid who has just been crawling on the ground to participate in the 100-meter sprint when it is difficult to stand up." Li Dachui said with a smile. : "But it doesn't make sense to reason with Ke Wuji and the others about these things. Only by letting them continue to hit the wall, hit the wall, fail, and then let them see our success will they wake up."< br>
“He Zudao is clearly using Ke Wuji and the others, but Ke Wuji and the others just can’t understand!” Fang Mao Mao shook his head and said, “I guess He Zudao arrived in the south and reunited with the eight southern towns. The first step is to unite with the wealthy families in the south, and those families in the south actually don't have much choice after He Zudao comes back. After they form one, people like Ke Wuji will be in the way again. "My eyes are broken."
"He Zudao will use Ke Wuji and others to force those wealthy families in the south, and only after forcing those people to surrender, will they abandon Ke Wuji and others, so Ke Wuji and others should You still have a good year or two!”
“Sir, we have to help them! After all, you are also the son of the devil’s saint, and you have become their Qiankun Qi. These people are all your disciples and grandchildren!" Fang Mao Mao said.
“Leave these things to Zhang Bing. He is the general manager of intelligence within the customs. I can’t do anything for you.”
"Zhang Bing?" Fang Mao Mao didn't react for a moment. He blinked and realized: "Are you talking about Miss Qingyun?"
"Zhang Qingyun is more satisfied with the name Zhang Bing." Li Dachui He smiled and said: "Let's go to Chang'an."
Qian A, Zhou Yi, Zhang Bing.
Now Zhiqiuyuan's three giants, Qian Jia is in charge of planning at the headquarters, Zhou Yi is now in Beiyuan, wholeheartedly promoting the three princes to kill each other, while Zhang Bing and Zhang Qingyun are working hard in the pass. , Zhiqiuyuan's intelligence network is expanding at an extremely fast rate.
Judging from the current situation, Guan Nei's position has become more and more important, and Zhang Qingyun's importance in Zhiqiuyuan will naturally increase.
