was making trouble, and the little soldier at the door said loudly: "General Wei is here, General Qiu is handling family affairs inside, you better not go in for the time being." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" then heard Wei Yanqi say: "Family matter? Isn't his home in Dengzhou? What can I do here? ”

Zhang Yulan pinched Qiu Ming fiercely, Qiu Ming squeezed his eyebrows and crooked his eyes and walked out, Wei Yan was even more strange: "Wasn't it okay just now?" How did you get a stroke all of a sudden? Tyumen gritted his teeth and said: "You just had a stroke, or you have a wind right away." Tell me, what's the matter with me in such a hurry? ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Look at who I brought?" Only then did Qiu Ming notice the rough man who was following Wei Yan, and exclaimed: "Bao Zhu, when did you arrive in Yixian?" ”

I haven't seen him for a while, and Bao Chu has completely lost the fierce expression he had at the first meeting, only to see him with a white cloth scarf coiled on his head, a sheepskin jacket on his body, and a thin figure, like an old farmer who has just come down from the fields. His vision was no longer so unruly, but rather cringe, which reminded Tyumen of the leap earth of adulthood.

Bao Chu's lips moved a few times, and he snorted: "Actually, I have been here a few times during this time, and I have always been looking for Sun Gan, and today I heard that the county Cheng is back, and Sun Qian specially ordered me to come to visit you first." ”

Haha, it turned out that he was here to fight the autumn wind, Qiu Ming was thinking about how much to give him this time, but Bao Chu suddenly bowed to the ground and said: "Bao out of Meng County's kindness, there is no way to repay it, and now he should be under the account, although he is smeared with liver and brain, he dare not resign." ”

Qiu Ming was surprised and delighted: "How can Qiu Ming be a person who wants to repay his kindness, why should you be like this?" ”

Bao Chu said the truth with a depressed face, it turned out that the land of Sanfu has always been densely populated with little food, and has always relied on the grain import from Kanto to maintain people's livelihood. However, now that there are tens of thousands of troops in Huangfu Song, the food shortage is immediately tightened, especially after the news of the cessation of the supply of military rations to the imperial court, even the largest grain merchants in Guanzhong have begun to sell grain, and all rice shops have unanimously put up a sell-out sign.

Sun Gan got Qiu Ming's instructions, as long as Bao came out to borrow money, he would lend him unconditionally, Bao came out to help, and finally survived a period of time, but when he had money and nowhere to buy rice, he was dumbfounded, and could only watch his mother spend his days in gruel all day long, and his heart was like a knife.

However, Sun Qian is worthy of being a logistical background, and after hearing Bao Chu talk about the current situation in Guanzhong, he immediately revised the book and asked Dengzhou to transport grain and rice to Chang'an. A few years ago, Dengzhou was also empty of granaries and the people were hungry, but last year's grain harvest was bumper, and a lot of them were purchased from Jiaozhou through the bazaar.

After receiving Sun Qian's letter, Jukong and Guoyuan also attached great importance to it, and immediately transported a batch of grain through Shangluo Dao, and when they arrived in Chang'an, they were immediately sold out, making a lot of profits. At this time, those business travelers in Dengzhou are like sharks that smell blood, and there is an endless stream of grain trucks on Shangluo Road, and everyone makes a lot of money.

Bao saw that the chaos in Guanzhong was precarious, and he repeatedly received gifts from Sun Qian, so he moved the idea of moving to Dengzhou. Several of his brothers were opposed, but the old mother had to get grain and rice from Dengzhou to save her life, and when she heard Bao Chu talk about the wealth and stability of Dengzhou, she was very much in favor of it, which strengthened Bao Chu's thoughts.

Bao Zhu's martial arts, Qiu Ming had seen it, and he was overjoyed at the moment and officially included him in his account.

Zhang Liaodianwei heard that Qiu Ming had returned, and they all came to meet him, and Qiu Ming asked: "Since grain and rice can reach Chang'an, why is there still a shortage of food in the army?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Sun Qian also organized the delivery of grain from Chang'an to Yixian, but the rebels had a large number of rangers flooding this road, and the grain trucks were robbed and burned before they could pass Wugong County, and a lot of food and manpower were lost in plain vain. ”

Qiu Ming said angrily: "Damn, Han Sui actually dared to rob me of my food, I can't spare him." But are you all rubbish? So easily cut off from the food channel? ”

Zhang Liao said with a look of shame: "The army has been short of food for a long time, the horses are also short of fodder, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and the horses have no spare strength. ”

Dian Wei said: "That is, I went to Chang'an a few days ago, and I transported back dozens of stones of grain alive and dead, barely calming the morale of the army, otherwise there might have been deserters now." ”

At this time, Sun Qian had also rushed to the tent, and Qiu Ming asked Sun Gan: "If you don't transport grain from Chang'an at any cost, how much will you lose?" ”

Sun Qian pondered for a while and said: "At present, most of the grain in Chang'an is in the hands of various merchants in Dengzhou, and we also need real money to buy it if we want to collect it, which costs a lot at the current market price. And whether it can be successfully transported to the army of Yixian County depends entirely on the strength of Wugong County's support on the road, but Li Yu, who is a martial artist, has long been closed to himself and no longer dares to go out of the city to fight, so the rebel rangers can be so rampant. Judging from the previous situation, 1,000 stone of grain was transported from Dengzhou, and only about 700 stone was left when it arrived in Chang'an, and at most 30 or 40 stone was transported to Yixian. ”

Qiu Ming sighed, such a big loss, even if his family has a big business, he can't afford to pay for it, not to mention that he has just struggled out of the poverty line, and he still wants to further move towards a well-off life.

Zhang Liao saw that everyone was worried, and said with a forced smile: "Actually, it's not so bad, now that the March period is coming, as long as Yang Aruo brings Jiuquan soldiers and horses, our army will take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and it will be a desperate situation to turn defeat into victory." ”

Bao changed into a military uniform, and finally looked less like a peasant, and he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Yang Aruo? Wasn't he seriously injured? How did you bring Jiuquan soldiers and horses? ”

Everyone in the tent was shocked, and hurriedly asked Bao Chu. It turns out that the rangers in the northwest have always had news exchanges, and as far as Bao Chu knows, Yang Aruo has left Yixian County and gone all the way north out of Xiaoguan to play on the grassland. And this guy is so brave and ruthless, he challenges the local rangers everywhere he goes, and finally annoys Li Jin and Li Su brothers in Jiuyuan, Li Jin personally beat Yang Aruo to serious injury, and now he doesn't know where to hide in the grassland to recuperate.

"Impossible." Dian Wei glared at the big eyes of the copper bell: "This Yang Aruo is good at martial arts, how can anyone beat him to a serious injury?" It must have been a sneak attack. ”

Tyumen lost his voice and said, "What? Yang Aruo didn't go back to Jiuquan, which is terrible. ”

Zhang Liao's face is also like earth, and now what supports the whole army to persist is the belief that reinforcements will arrive, if Jiuquan does not send troops, then the army will definitely mutiny, and the situation will immediately become out of control. However, he is also a famous general, so he immediately made a gesture to tell Qiu Ming not to say any more, picked up his sword and went out of the tent to find a way to behead two soldiers guarding the door, and then ordered someone to invite Guo Jia over.
