Food and grass were the primary problem that the Ming army solved.

Now Hong Chengchou asks He Huchen that he has enough food and grass, can he build a mountain of earth in ten days?

He Huchen pondered for a while and shook his head: "There are no civil servants around Ganquan County. If the soldiers were allowed to pile up the earthen mountain without equipment, ten days would not be enough."

Shields, picks, dustpans, and carts are not enough.

The guards ran a lot of soldiers overnight, and there were not enough staff.

It is impossible to let the elite soldiers under their command do such a job, so they will rebel.

Hong Chengchou nodded, indicating that he knew.

Now there are many difficulties in attacking Ganquan County.

Since He Jinchao is not a soft persimmon, then shift the focus to the group of thieves in Fanjia Manor.

Hong Chengchou was not a tough guy, and he was trying to use all his elite soldiers to pull out a city.

If this is the case, the rebellious cities in various parts of Shaanxi will far exceed the number of soldiers under his command, and it will not be cost-effective to fill it with human lives.

If you can’t find a place here in He Jinchao, then go to other bandits to find the place. In short, the lost morale will be regained.

To quell the rioters in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou designated the strategy to be easy first and then difficult, accumulate the morale of the soldiers under his command little by little, and eliminate the morale of the bandits little by little.

If this continues, the bandits in Shaanxi will surely be able to pacify the entire Shaanxi.

Since he led his troops, he has not been defeated. Even though he has only lost more than 300 people today, Hong Chengchou has lost to He Jinchao once.

He will find this place sooner or later, but not now.

"Since that's the case, we will make the illusion of besieging Ganquan County, slowly pile up soil, and actually deal with the bandits in Fanjia Manor."

Hong Chengchou made the decision to set the tone again, and He Huchen first expressed his agreement with Hong Chengchou's strategy.

Because their servants are not used to consume the city.

During the field battle, hundreds of servants could chase tens of thousands of bandits to escape. The battle was really difficult to fight.

The two top leaders of civil and military bandit suppression reached an agreement, and the people under their command would not say anything else.

"Sir, we only have enough food to eat. Are we really not withdrawing our troops?"

Li Bei was a little worried, and He Jinchao sent someone to deliver letters to Wang Jiayin and others, asking them to attack him from the front and back.

Without food in the army, it is always a taboo for military strategists.

Could it be that Lord Hong also wants to bring the food and grass officials to stabilize the morale of the army?

"I have sent out a grain transport team yesterday. Today I will go and urge you to transport it here before dark. He Renlong, this matter will be left to you."

"yes."

After receiving the military order, He Fengzi took his servants and rode a few war horses across Ganquan County and rushed to Fu County to transport the food and grass back as soon as possible, otherwise he would have stopped cooking.

"I will send our military orders and set up camp immediately and make a long-term stance outside the city. I will not let He Jinchao's plan succeed."

"yes."

Hong Chengchou ordered and someone immediately went down to arrange that the night attack that happened early this morning would never happen again.

"Carely identify the soldiers in the army and check whether there are still rebels."

"yes."

"General Ning, take people to collect dry firewood to see if you can catch prey and touch some fish and shrimp."

"Okay." He Huchen also took the military order out to work.

Li Bei was the only one left in the entire camp.

"Li Bei, come here with your ears, I want you to do something."

After hearing this, Li Bei's face changed drastically.

"Sir, threaten the King of Qin?"

"He is still not the King of Qin!"

Hong Chengchou ordered Li Bei to go to Xi'an to find Qin's prince Zhu Cunji, who was only enthroned as Qin's prince this year.

The King of Qin was passed down from Zhu Yuanzhang's second son Zhu Cunshu. There are 18 people so far. Zhu Cunshu, the eldest son of Zhu Cunshu, the eldest son of Zhu Yi-han, died of illness in March this year and had no son.

Therefore, Zhu Cunji, the second son of the previous generation of Qin King, was named the crown prince of the King of Qin, but he did not become the King of Qin.

Hong Chengchou's meaning is very simple. Who doesn't know that the vassal kings are the richest, occupying a large amount of fertile land.

Go to his place to get a lot of food and spend money with He Jinchao.

Hong Chengchou wanted the prince of Qin Zhu Cunji to "show his performance". If the prince did not agree to donate grain, he would threaten to drive all the rebels to Xi'an Prefecture.

If he is willing to help, then wait until he suppresses the bandits, and he will definitely say a few good words to His Majesty for him and strive to make him the King of Qin as soon as possible.

If you have a big stick and sweet dates, you don’t believe that Zhu Cunji dares to stab him.

Li Bei sighed deeply, how could the vassal kings support us in food and grass? Many remote royal families were hungry and full.

The food rations were detained by the King of Qin and they were not sent down at all.

Now that he has been appointed as the King of Qin, is this Qin prince a good person?

"Don't worry, if Qin Prince is not stupid, he will definitely agree to your request."

Hong Chengchou is not a good person. He said he was trying to quell the rebellion for the people, so how could he be more and more?

It’s not just for the emperor to see, so that he can get better promotion!

Therefore, it is not a big deal to offend the vassal kings for his own career.

If you drive all the rebels to the wealthy Xi'an, you will be scared to the Qin prince to immediately support the food. Who made the vassal king the richest?

If a poor people don’t steal his wealth for redistribution, who else can they steal?

"Even if something happens, I will be in charge of it."

After saying this, Li Bei did not hesitate and immediately accepted the order and asked to stamp a blank seal so that Prince Qin would not believe in his martial arts.

In the Fanjia Manor.

Wang Jiayin and others were having breakfast and sent someone to inquire about the situation in Ganquan County.

Hong Chengchou chased everyone without any strength to fight back. How long can He Jinchao's little men withstand him?

"Brothers, it's our turn to fight next." Wang Jiayin had no confidence in He Jinchao.

Even though he knew that he was a good rebellious seedling, if he died, he was just a seedling and could not grow into a towering tree.

"Don't panic with the big leader." Cao Cao Luo Rucai gently patted his stomach: "We have food in our stomachs, so we don't panic at all. There is not much food for those dog officials."

Another leader, Wang Ziyong, shook his head and said, "Once Hong Chengchou takes down Ganquan County, he will have food in his hand. We have to fight against the official army. Don't relax our vigilance."

Then there was a sigh, saying that He Jinchao was a good person, but unfortunately, he was definitely not good at facing Hong Chengchou.

Who can beat Hong Chengchou?

People want soldiers and generals, but since they lead the army, the rebels have no power to fight back.

Gao Yingxiang frowned and heard that many rebel leaders were not optimistic about He Jinchao, and shook his head secretly. These people would not expect other people's good things.

He believed that if he could not resist for even three days with the means of He Jinchao, he would be in vain to be optimistic about him.

"King Gao Chuang, why did you shake your head?" Wang Jiayin attached great importance to Gao Yingxiang, after all, he seemed to be the image of "Zhao Zilong" in the novel.

Who doesn’t love such a strong general?

"Everyone, do you look down on He Jinchao too much?"
