Before we knew it, it was already the end of May.

If it is in areas such as Laiyang Prefecture, Jizhou, the potatoes and wheat crops planted during spring plowing have reached the time to harvest, but it is not possible here.

Due to different geographical environments and alternating powers in Jiangzhou, most areas delayed spring plowing, and the earliest batch of crops would not be harvested until at least mid-June.

Meizi County is just a small county town. Not to mention that the crops planted in the fields are not yet mature. Even if they are all mature, with less than 3,000 households here, the food they grow will definitely not be able to afford such a large army, let alone so many war horses in the army.

You should know that war horses are very expensive, not just eating grass, but they eat more than people. They can satisfy the food rations of a war horse and feed about ten soldiers!

Because of this, Fan Wei only dared to expand the cavalry to 15,000 when he was selling his troops in Jiangzhou. It was because he didn't want to raise more cavalry, but he really couldn't afford it.

The reason why Yang Qi was so anxious to come to the inn was to see if he could find out the intention of the sudden arrival of this black armored army, and on the other hand, he was also considering the issue of this army having dinner here.

But I didn't expect to be turned away.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just when Yang Qi was having a headache about this, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the inn.

With the sound of metal friction between armor leaves, a group of soldiers wearing black armor entered one after another. Looking at the burly soldiers, the lobby suddenly became quiet.

The man in the lead stared at his tiger's eyes, glanced at the lobby, his eyes fell on Yang Qi, and then walked over directly.

When Yang Qi saw this group of black-armored soldiers, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You are Yang Qi, the garrison commander of Meizi County? I am Gu Heng, the captain of the Heijia Army, and the garrison commander of the Heijia Army!"

"So it's Captain Gu, please sit down!"

Yang Qi squeezed out a smile and said.

"No need, military affairs are busy, I will leave after saying a few words. In order to resist the possible arrival of the Wei army, our army will be stationed here for a while, but the army's food and grass have been consumed almost all. Do you think this is how to solve it?"

"I wonder how long can the military food and grass last?"

"It can only be supported for about ten days at most. After ten days, there must be new food and grass supply. Please contact Captain Yang, let's go!"

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he left with his subordinates, and he could not refuse at all.

"Ten days!"

The thing that was most worried about happened. Yang Qi pinched his eyebrows and looked at his subordinates around him, "Have you heard that? We only have ten days to do what to do?"

Chen Ji put the folding fan in his hand together, "Sir, I have thought about it carefully. If we want to solve the current dilemma, we can only ask for help from the surrounding counties. In addition, we have to send people to Qishang to buy grain, otherwise there is no other way to solve the problem of the army's food and grass, but--"

"But what?"

"Ten days, it's too hasty! I'm worried that there might not be enough time, and the money to buy grain is also a big problem. This is not a small amount. Our Meizi County cannot afford it at all. Do you think you're asking the Black Arc Army to pay it by itself?"

Chen Ji looked bitter. It was not easy to raise so much food and grass. In addition, the time for transporting grain on the road was not enough. Moreover, there was no copper coin in the county warehousing room except dust. He paid out of his own pocket for more than 100 taels of silver he had just given Lu Yi.

"Master, we haven't even met each other now, and we are not going to see us at that moment. Why do we ask them to pay for money? I'm asking me to tell you that this matter is done well, and it's not our fault if it can't be done."

Li Kui didn't care.

Due to various reasons, he has always had no good feelings for the people of the Black Armor Army. In addition, he saw that there were many difficulties in preparing food and grass, so he naturally was not so active. After all, he was not the one who was hungry.

"Li Guzheng, you said this lightly. Do you know if we can't raise enough food at that time and cause any problems in the army, it will be a loss of mind!"

Chen Ji shook his head. Li Kui was born in a mud-legged manner, with a shallow and reckless man, and he couldn't see the key to this matter at all. Do you think this is a child playing house?

Hearing this, Li Kui's neck thickened, "Why? We can't convert them into food! Can they still be unreasonable?"

"Just because they have more power than you and stronger than you, do you have any problems?"

Yang Qi glanced at Li Kui, feeling a little upset. He pondered for a moment and ordered Chen Ji: "You stay in the county and try your best to raise food and grass. Qi Shang there, I'll find a way, and-"

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, "Send someone to stare at the inn, and notify me of any disturbances as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sir, I know."

Chen Ji nodded quickly, and at the same time he was curious about how Yang Qi planned to ask Qi Shang to give him grain. It should be difficult for him to understand Qi Shang.

······

On the other hand, when Lu Yi returned to the stove with a small bag, Huangshan had already prepared three dishes. "Why did Xiao Lu Yi go there for so long? Are the distinguished guests there satisfied with the taste of the dishes?"

"That's all right, of course I'm very satisfied."

Lu Yi said that, she was about to reach out to the plate, but she was patted by Huang Shing, "Don't steal it."

"I'll eat a small piece of plate that I won't be found."

Lu Yi stretched out a little finger and gestured.

"No, this meal is of great importance. I'll fry one for you later. I'll bring the dish over. It will taste bad if it's cold."

"Okay, don't forget, I'll help you with some good words later."

Lu Yi's big eyes turned, and naturally she could see Huang Shan's thoughts.

"Little Lu Yi, it depends on you. If things are done, I will personally make a table of good dishes and thank you."

Yellow shirt smiled.

As the delicious dishes with all kinds of colors and fragrance were delivered, Liu Feng was naturally very satisfied with the food. In the end, his stomach was a little overcrowded, so he put down his chopsticks with an unsatisfactory feeling. At this time, he had already secretly planned to leave, and he would also take away the chef who made this dish. Leaving such a skill in this small inn would be a burial of talent.

"Sir, are you satisfied with these dishes?"

Lu Yi took the opportunity to ask while cleaning up the leftovers on the table.

"Satisfied, this is the best meal I've ever had. Tell me, what reward he wants."

"You can see this?"

Lu Yi's face was full of surprise.

"I'm not blind."
