Jiang Ming was shocked, what kind of miscellaneous army is this?
The Cangshan Army was able to besiege Jiangnan Prefecture for several months, but it was because the siege was fruitless that they relied on their abundant supply of food and grass to try to trap Jiangnan Prefecture alive.
No one would have thought that before Jiangnan Mansion was captured, the Cangshan Army would have their butts touched...
Jiang Ming immediately reacted: "Is there a spy in the Cangshan Army?"
The granary is an important place for military strategists and must be guarded by experts. Even if the imperial army sends people to sneak in to burn grain and grass, they will be discovered as soon as the open fire is lit, and they will not burn much...
The only possibility is that there is a mole, and the mole is not young, otherwise he would not be able to make such a big move!
Guan Feng nodded: "You are smart, you guessed it right away... I heard that the grain and grass battalion guarding the granary rebelled collectively, killed a few disobedient, and then secretly used kerosene and liquor late at night to set fire to it.
Dozens of granaries... were completely burned down in one go, and then they even took advantage of the darkness to escape without a trace!"
"As for the imperial army in Jiangnan Prefecture, while the flames were blazing into the sky, they shot countless arrows with notes tied on them and taunted the Cangshan Army with obscene words, saying that they were homeless orphans who only knew how to brag.
Fighting like a girl or something..."
Jiangnan was speechless, high-end wars often really only require the simplest operations... The Cangshan Army has been besieging the city for several months, and it is freezing cold, so the morale of the army is probably at its most chaotic.
This wave of food and grass being burned, coupled with the crazy taunts... At this time, the Cangshan Army is probably in a state of distress.
It can only be said that the imperial army still has ruthless people. They developed the entire grain and grass camp into an undercover agent, but they have resisted taking action until now... It can only be blamed on the Cangshan army being too young and being severely manipulated by the imperial army.
"If the imperial army suddenly attacks at this time..." Jiang Ming suddenly said.
"When the news came back, the cavalry of the Imperial Army had already rushed out of the city..." Guan Feng glanced at him and sighed: "This time, the Cangshan Army will shed some skin even if they don't die!"
"Alas..." Jiang Ming also sighed. He didn't care about the success or failure of the Cangshan Army, but if the Cangshan Army was in chaos, these common people would also be unlucky.
Although he had known for a long time that it would be difficult for the Cangshan Army to succeed, when this moment came... Jiang Ming still felt a little helpless.
After a while, Jiang Ming said goodbye to Guan Feng and returned home carrying the New Year's goods. When they met, he threw a baggage to Zhou Wenxiu:
"Practice boxing every day and become a savage... The clothes and rouge I bought for you will make you happy during the New Year!"
"I don't want it, it's so colorful and ugly..." Zhou Wenxiu hummed, but his mouth was grinning almost to the base of his ears.
"Stupid girl..." Jiang Ming shook his head and threw the remaining things to her: "Pack it up and cook quickly... I'm starving to death!"
He himself went back into the house and happily brewed some fine tea, not caring about the vicious eyes behind him...
"Now that the Cangshan Army is in decline, its defeat is probably only a matter of time!"
After tea and dinner, Jiang Ming lay on the bamboo chair and took a nap, but his thoughts came to life: "When the tree falls, the hozens scatter. It's time for those who once used the Cangshan Army to dominate and prosper! It's time to find an opportunity to settle the matter!"
"Now I am considered to be very powerful among the second-rate warriors. With the help of the blood-burning sword technique and the triggering of super senses, I may not be able to compete with the first-rate warriors..."
"Of course, it's impossible to force it..."
The king's flag changes at the top of the city, and the prince becomes a new ghost...
Jiang Ming will not try to be the first person. It is naturally the best if he can fish in troubled waters!
…
A few days later, the pub.
Jiang Ming sat at the counter, drinking the good wine Lao Jiangtou bought specially for him, and listened to many drinkers discussing current affairs.
The news that the Cangshan Army granary was burned finally reached here the day before yesterday, and it immediately caused a commotion.
"Then Zhu Shichang was so shameless that he emptied all my rice shops..."
A middle-aged man who was slightly neatly dressed was furious and had a bandana on his body. It didn't take a guess to know that he was beaten by Zhu Shichang's men.
When Jiang Ming heard this, he looked over. He saw that this man was also a herbal collector. During the King of Medicine scandal, he was lucky enough to collect fire cloud grass and sold the money to open a shop... He thought he would become prosperous, but he didn't expect to suffer such a disaster.
"This is just the beginning..." Jiang Ming whispered in his heart.
I received news from Guan Feng that the imperial court had sent a large army from the capital to cooperate with the defenders of Jiangnan Prefecture. A total of 500,000 troops were pressed out of Jiangnan Prefecture in an attempt to completely capture the Cangshan Army.
However, the Cangshan Army once again caught fire in the backyard. The northern aristocratic families and chambers of commerce that had been wooed over were supposed to provide the Cangshan Army with food and fodder for war preparations... but more than half of them jumped ship overnight, cutting off supplies to the Cangshan Army.
Rebellions even broke out in many northern cities, overthrowing the Cangshan Army's defenders. Even the people who once supported the Cangshan Army the most have now become silent.
Just a few days have passed, and the Cangshan Army seems to be in a precarious situation and may capsize at any time.
"This is too much benevolence and righteousness..."
The people will be moved by benevolence and righteousness, and the aristocratic families will smile at you because of benevolence and righteousness, but if you want to tame them, benevolence and righteousness alone are not enough...
Another four or five days passed, and Ping'an Town became more and more chaotic. Zhu Shichang led his people on the streets to capture young men, search for food and money, and send them to the front to fight.
I heard that the city was many times more chaotic than Ping'an Town. The Cangshan Army was looting and killing people everywhere, as if they had suddenly transformed from a bodhisattva to a devil...
"Zhu Shichang, I don't have any food left..."
On this day, Jiang Ming stood at the door, blocking Zhu Shichang's chubby body, and frowned.
Zhu Shichang's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was as hoarse as a broken bellows: "Silver, copper plates... I want them all!"
"And you... Master Jiang, are you willing to go to the battlefield and strive for glory and wealth?"
Behind Zhu Shichang, two guards quietly took a step forward.
"Zhu Shichang, don't be too impulsive. Ask someone to talk to you. I have a lot of people in Tiger Hunter Village..." Jiang Ming said indifferently without any panic.
Zhu Shi was agitated, and his head seemed to be clearer. He stared at Jiang Ming gloomily for a moment, then turned around and left, leading others to other houses.
"You can't do this..." Jiang Ming stared at Zhu Shichang's leaving figure, but shook his head.
Now that the defeat of the Cangshan Army has been determined, according to the news from Feiyun Castle... the army in front has been defeated, retreating steadily, and was beaten like a lost dog...
It's not certain whether they can withdraw to Jiangbei. How dare Zhu Shichang dare to search for money so rampantly...
Jiang Ming thought of this guy's immediate boss, Li Yong. Both of them were rotten and bad. They would go wherever there was more money. They were not loyal to the Cangshan Army. Most of their pretentiousness today was for the sake of protecting the Cangshan Army.
My own pocket...
"I originally planned to go directly to Fucheng and visit the Shi family!" Jiang Ming said to himself: "But since you dare to find me, I will give you a ride first!"
Ever since Zhu Shichang came here, he has collected protection fees from him... and even cheated Yu Asheng of several taels of silver. Let's settle this debt together today.
"Is this guy trying to take advantage of the Shi family?" Jiang Ming looked at the direction Zhu Shichang was walking, his eyes moved slightly, and he had already thought of a way to do it.
After telling Zhou Wenxiu that he was going to drink, Jiang Ming left home...
Thanks to the book friend Giant Elk for the reward. The boss is very generous, thank you boss!
