Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 383
Chapter 383
In Xingyang City, Ying just got up from a nap when a guard hurried in.Holding a roll of bamboo in his hand.

"My lord, there is news from Mr. Taiwei." As he spoke, he handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Ying Gang.

"Oh?" Ying Gang's mind was shocked, and the sleepiness disappeared immediately.

Wang Ben and he were originally stationed in Xingyang. Although there were not many opportunities to meet each other, it was not too difficult to communicate on weekdays.

At least there is no need for such a troublesome message delivery method.

It seems that there should be some confidential information in it.

Thinking of this, Ying Gang quickly opened the bamboo slips and looked at them.

Seeing this, his brows were frowned immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he ordered to the guard next to him: "Let Captain Zhong come over."

As the executor of population-for-food exchange, Zhong Limei knew the specific situation better than many generals in the army.

Not long after, Zhong Limei came up to him.

Ying Gang didn't talk nonsense and handed him the bamboo slips directly.

After Zhong Limei looked at it, he cupped his hands and said: "What the Taiwei said is true. Originally, the nearest [-]-man team should have arrived the day before yesterday, but it hasn't shown up until now. In order to avoid problems, General Han asked the last general to temporarily stop the food distribution."

"Han Xin did it right!" Ying Gang gave Han Xin affirmation first, then pointed to Wang Ben's bamboo slips and said, "If I guessed correctly, Wei Guo must have found some way to relieve the disaster. You can quickly investigate for me, Wei Where did the leopard get its food from?"

"Hi!"

Zhong Limei was about to go out when Han Xin suddenly walked in from the outside.

"No need to go, I already understand."

Zhongli stepped aside, Han Xin came directly to him, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Ying Gang.

As soon as Ying opened it, a look of joy appeared on his face.

A long time ago, Han Xin sent spies to Wei Guoan.

At this moment, these spies finally came in handy.

"Is the news accurate?"

"It's true."

Ying just stood up and said, "Let Wang Sen lead the cavalry and follow me."

"Hi." The guard responded quickly and walked out quickly.

Han Xin looked at Ying Gang in front of him and asked suspiciously: "Young Master only brings 2000 people?"

"2000 people are enough, too many people will expose us, so it's settled like this."

"Yes."

There is a ferry a hundred miles southeast of Daliang.

This ferry was originally a small ferry, and it was also used by both military and civilians.But now it has developed into a large ferry.

About 150 ships are moored on the left, and military camps are also stationed nearby.On the right is for fishermen to enter and exit.

It is noon now, and there are few fishermen on the ferry.Suddenly there was a sound of horns from the direction of the camp, and a moment later the sound of drums roared.

"Are we going to fight again?" Several people near the ferry looked at each other, and they all saw worry in each other's eyes.

They are all civilian husbands recruited by Wei Bao, and they are responsible for transporting grain from Chu.

These common people have all crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and they can be said to be extremely clear about the sound of the horn of war.

Before they could react, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in their line of sight, annihilating some soldiers on the shore with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

In fact, Zhou Wen was also to blame for his negligence.

After one delivery with no problems, he didn't bother to follow the caravan every day. Not only did he not send many people, but he also didn't bother to go there.

Because of this, the Wei army at the ferry only had more than 1000 people.

And this kind of person is simply a child's play in front of the cavalry of the Qin army.

Soon, the battle will all be over.

Hundreds of ships piled up on a river, the scene is very spectacular.Some of the ships were intact, but some of them were blackened and their canvases had been burnt.

It only took less than two hours.The hopes in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Wei State, a hundred ships were taken away by Ying Gang.

At this moment, Ying Gang was standing on the deck of one of the merchant ships, looking very excited.

These one hundred large ships were all fully loaded with goods. Besides food, there were also some special products of Chu State.

To buy so much food, it seems that Wei Guo also spent a lot of money, but this time they ran into their own hands again.

Wei Bao deserved it.

"My lord, what should we do with these boats?" Wang Sen looked at the boats in a dilemma.

They are all cavalry, so naturally it is impossible to run around with ships.

The only way is to scuttle all ships.

But obviously, it would be a waste to scuttle all these ships.

"Release the anchors of all the ships carrying grain, and let the ships go down the river. As for where they can float, we don't know whose hands they will fall into. As for these Chu specialties, we don't want to waste them. Just let those The people are all parted."

As he spoke, Ying Gang pointed to the people of Wei State who were kneeling on the ground in panic.

These are not as honest and simple as the old Qin people.

These people have a lot of hostility towards Qin from the bottom of their hearts, and it is impossible to quickly resolve the resentment in their hearts.

The only way is to win them over first, and whether they are willing to be won is another story.

If the Wei army came and found that the things on these ships had been divided by the people in their own territory, if they wanted to rob them, they would lose popular support.

If you don't grab it, you can only stare blankly and let the people reap the benefits.

Wang Sen thought for a while and said, "Young Master, this is not good. If all these ships fall into the hands of the people of Wei, our actions will be in vain. In my opinion, we should throw all these grains into the water and let them go down the river. And down."

"Why?"

"For one thing, it is difficult to preserve food for a long time if it is soaked in water. It is absolutely impossible to rely on these grains to survive the winter. Second, the food is in water, and the water will wash away these grain bags. Maybe Wei Jun can get some. But more will inevitably flow down the river and fall into the people or sink directly into the water. No matter what it is, we will not lose."

Ying Gang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words: "I didn't expect you to be so strategic, not bad, not bad!"

Wang Sen touched his head with a smile and said, "I learned this from you, my lord."

Ying Gang decisively ordered the soldiers to drive the people over to carry grain, and promised them that whoever came to help would give them a stone of grain each.

This reward immediately attracted most people.

In today's Central Plains, the prices of grain and gold are almost equal.

A stone of grain can almost be exchanged for untold wealth. With such a bargaining chip, no matter how patriotic these people are, they cannot resist the temptation.

A person quickly threw the grain bag into the water, someone started, and naturally others followed suit.

And Ying just found out that these people were throwing towards one place on purpose.

With the help of water power, these grain bags will form a floating land when they are piled up together. At that time, it will be difficult for the grain bags to be completely washed away.

These people can get more food.

Although Ying Gang sees it through, he doesn't tell the truth.

After all, the more these people betray Wei, the more beneficial it will be for them.
