Chapter 653: Can This Man Not Eat or Not Eat!
Yang Feng also had no way to solve the food problem.
After all, at this time, he also had the support of Xiaoqian, who was still locked up in the secret prison of the CIA and besieged by tentacle monsters!
In this way, you can only sell jade seals.
Fortunately, this thing should still be able to sell at a good price, after all, this is the jade seal of the country, originally in history this thing was deceived by Dai Shi, after Ran Min was captured, Jiang Gan assisted the prince Ran Zhi to guard Yecheng, in exchange for surrendering to the Eastern Jin Dynasty for support, Dai Shi sent a hundred and ten soldiers over, and then Yecheng deceived the jade seal and ran away when it was critical, so as to return to the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but now Ran Min won the battle of Liantai, so as to take the initiative to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, offer the jade seal, and sacrifice the territory, so that the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has the possibility of re-expanding to Hebei......
These should be worth 100,000 stone of grain.
100,000 stone of grain is not a big investment for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although their main territory has retreated to Huainan and Jiangnan, but it sits on Jingxiang, Huaiyang, the Yangtze River Delta three major grain producing areas.
And there is also the support of Surabaya shipping.
If they wish, they can transport large quantities of grain to Yecheng within a few months.
However, the situation was more serious than Yang Feng thought.
Because when he arrived in Yecheng, he realized that there was no food here.
In fact, Xie Shang ordered Dai Shi to come to Fangtou, that is, he was worried about this jade seal, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not very interested in restoring the Central Plains, and the scholars represented by the Wang family lived very quickly in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were not interested in spending money to restore the Central Plains. And once the Central Plains is restored, the Sima family will have more power, and it will be difficult for them to think that the king and the horse will share the world, for example, Shusheng jumped up and down to stop Yin Hao's northern expedition during this time, and the reason why Xie Shang sent Dai Shi, a lone army, along Surabaya and the Yellow River to Fangtou, was to find an opportunity to grab the jade seal.
You must know that at this time, the main force of the Eastern Jin Dynasty army was still in the Huai River, and there was only one Yao Xiang in the north who nominally submitted to them, and neither Shandong nor Henan was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shandong was Duan Niche, Henan was the warlord Zhang Yu of the Later Zhao family, and Lu Xi was the warlord Li Li of the same Later Zhao family......
Well, it's a mess at this point.
"I don't care about anything else, I just need food, and whoever gives me food will give this to whomever I want!"
Yang Feng said to Dai Shi while playing with the jade seal.
It is said that he got this thing for the second time, this piece is said to be carved by the family in the late Tang Dynasty, was taken by Li Congke to self-fen, since then his whereabouts are unknown, Song, Ming, Qing Dynasty he did not have this thing, the only one that has been in the Tang Dynasty, this is the second time.
And he was on the famous Tongque Platform at this time, at this time Yecheng can roughly see the glory of the past, that is, there are more skeletons in the city, and there are more ruins, fortunately, Yang Feng brought back a lot of horses captured from the Yan army, in order to avoid the hungry people to eat those Hou Zhao palace maids, he can only slaughter those injured or sick horses to feed his own people, fortunately, Murong Jun was hit too hard by Murong Ke's death, so far the Yan army has not yet arrived in Yecheng, so Yang Feng can also scavenge some food from the surrounding cities.
But there aren't many of them.
Because there is a business grabber next to him, that is, Yao Xiang, who occupies Xuanjin, who has 70,000 Qiang families under his command, often robs those small cities attached to Yecheng, and Yao Xiang originally laid down many cities such as daimyo in the east of Yecheng at this time in history.
So Yang Feng still has to face this guy.
But this is all a trivial matter, because of the lack of siege means, his enemies will not have the courage to attack Yecheng so far, this is a top fortress, as long as there is food, he can hold it here, if there is no food, everything is in vain......
"If you can't send the first batch of grain to Yecheng within ten days, then I'll go to Murong Jun to surrender and give this jade seal to Murong Jun, by the way, I will also lead my army as his precursor to annex Henan and keep the army in the Huai River, I just killed Murong Ke, Murong Jun knows that he can't beat Yecheng, so he will welcome my surrender, and then give me the food I want, in short, who can give me food to feed these hundreds of thousands of people in the city now, then this is who's!"
Yang Feng continued to play with the jade seal and said.
"Duke Ran, even if the imperial court agrees, it will take months for grain to be transported from the south, and it will not be possible to get grain in ten days anyway."
Daisch said.
"Then you can give me your rations!"
Yang Feng said with a pure face.
"And what do my men eat?"
Dai Shi said in amazement.
"That's your own business, for example, you can go to Yao Xiang to borrow grain, anyway, it will be shipped soon, he has just returned to the imperial court, he shouldn't be stingy with this bit of grain, he will definitely not lend me a grain of grain, he wishes I starved to death, but he will lend it to you."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Gong Ran, this is absolutely impossible."
Dai Shi hurriedly said.
"Then I'll give this to Murong Jun!"
Yang Feng threw the jade seal again and said with a smile.
"Huh?!"
Dai Shi looked at this scoundrel stupidly, he didn't expect that this Ran Wei Heavenly King was so shameless, this purely used the jade seal of the country to be a businessman, is there any bit of discipline in this, of course he didn't know that the core in front of him had already changed, and he was replaced by an old monster who lived for hundreds of years and didn't know what the festival was eight hundred years ago. Yang Fengcai didn't care about anything else, he now knew that there were still more than 200,000 people in this city to feed, and the vast majority of them were old and weak women and children, there were less than 10,000 really elite soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, and after deducting the seeds that had to be left, his remaining food would not last through the next month, this was the middle of April, and at most he would have no food at the end of May.
"Five thousand stones, and a maximum of five thousand stones can be delivered in ten days."
Daisch said almost through gritted teeth.
"Okay, let's settle the deposit! But if the next batch is not delivered by the end of May, then ......"
Yang Feng threw the jade seal.
"Don't worry, Xun Zhonglang's soldiers are in Xiapi, there is grain to adjust, so far it is only a thousand miles of waterway, and a month and a half is enough to send it, but I hope that Ran Gong will not lose the court."
Daisch said.
After saying that, he left in a hurry, his time was also very tight, he had to send a boat along the Yellow River to Dayeze to turn into the Qing River, that is, Surabaya, and then go to Xiapi to find Beizhong Lang Xun Xian, and the latter transferred grain and then came back from this line, and the grain must be transported at the end of May, and he had to walk more than 100 miles from Fangtou to Yecheng by land, a month and a half time is very tight, especially Xun Xian's grain ship has to go all the way against the current, the only fortunate thing is that it is already spring, not only has the southeast wind and the waterway is unblocked, Otherwise, the upper reaches of Surabaya to Onozawa will not be navigable in winter.
At this time, the battle of Fangtou had not yet been fought, and Huan Wen had not yet dug up Huan Gong Blasphemy there.
"Your Majesty, why ask of them?"
Ran Wei's number one general, Dong Yan, looked at Dai Shi's back and asked Yang Feng.
"Don't ask them what to eat? Do you eat them? ”
Yang Feng pointed to a small palace maid next to him and said.
This is the capital of Hou Zhao Kingdom, Shi Hu collected countless beauties from all over the country to enrich Santai, these little girls are now in the city, and they were indeed eaten in history, and the little palace maid couldn't help but shudder.
Dong Yan did not speak.
"In the future, people can still stop eating without eating!"
Yang Feng sighed and said.
The civil and military generals beside him were silent.
At this time, the bell on the city wall suddenly rang, Yang Feng raised his head and looked into the distance, a large number of cavalry were surging, Dong Yan and others immediately showed a solemn expression, it is obvious that the Yan army has arrived, although there are seven or eight hundred miles from Zhongshan to here, but there is actually no defense, the previous battle of Xiangguo made Xiangguo, that is, the area of Xingtai basically into a no-man's land, only some wall grass who will surrender whose small city, the Yan army is moving south, the only thing these small cities can do is to surrender.
In this era, there was no state in the modern mind, but it was basically the same as the European Middle Ages.
"The meat giver is here!"
Yang Feng immediately showed a look of surprise.
"The cavalry will go with me!"
Then he waved to the generals.
"Your Majesty, don't take any more risks!"
His number one minister, Jiang Gan, grabbed him and said.
"If you don't meet the head-on attack, it will be even more useless for us to let all the Yan troops arrive!"
Yang Feng pushed him away and said.
It is impossible for the Yan army to arrive together, this is nothing more than a striker, if Murong Jun's 100,000 army encircles Yecheng, then he can really only shrink in the city, then the agricultural production outside the city will be over, he can't expect the Eastern Jin Dynasty to continue to give him food, even if he surrenders, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will still starve to death, he can only ask for food is just a jade seal, once the jade seal of the country is handed over, it is a miracle that he can still ask for food.
So he had to defeat the Yan army.
If you want to defeat the Yan army, you can only take advantage of the time difference that they can't reach together.
His 3,000 cavalry quickly assembled, under the leadership of Yang Feng rushed out of the city gate, at this time the forward cavalry of the Yan army also arrived outside the city, the two armies were arrayed separately, Yang Feng and he was used to the same, put a total of more than 500 cavalry in the middle led by him personally, the rest of the cavalry was divided into left and right wings, commanded by Dong Yan and his other general Zhang Wen respectively, these are all loyal to him, can fight side by side with him to the end, the original history of the battle of Liantai his 8,000 subordinates 7,000 killed, these are all those who originally died with him.
And he has about the same number of opponents.
However, it is not a chain of horses, it should be a brave one, or it may also arrive in advance because of poor information communication, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops march into this is very common, the battle of Weishui Fu Jian is indeed 800,000, but when the front starts, the farthest drag out of Chang'an!
"Ninety-nine with a steel knife in hand, kill all Hu Erfang, today you are not fighting for others, only for your wife, son and daughter, Yecheng is behind you, there is no way back here, kill, the steel knife cuts off Hu Yu's head, kill, iron hooves crush Hu Lu's gall, kill, kill a Han family's Lang Lang Qiankun!"
Yang Feng raised his horse and shouted.
Immediately after that, he was the first to urge Zhu Longma.
Countless roars rang out behind him, and the three thousand iron horsemen who turned their backs to their homes and relatives began to follow their commander and began an indomitable charge.
