Chapter 1497 Concluded that King Qin did not dare to rebel
If they can hold on, they can win.
If you can't hold on, this is a dead end.
Tang Miaoxin saw this scene and asked Ning Guzhou: "What should we do now?"
Ning Guzhou's eyes narrowed slightly: "Although there are many more of them than us, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Of course I know there is nothing to be afraid of, but now we are surrounded and at a disadvantage."
"In this case, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Ning Guzhou looked at her and said, "Aren't you never afraid of trouble?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "I'm really never afraid of trouble, but this time they have many more people than us. If you think about it carefully, we will easily suffer a loss."
After she finished speaking, she added: "And as long as I'm here with you and I don't encounter real trouble, I don't have to think about these things."
"After all, you are here, and you still want me to use my brain. That will make you too incompetent."
Ning Guzhou: "...You are the only one with the most lies."
He never thought about letting her handle this matter.
She was somewhat dependent on her words at this time. Although they were in danger at this time, he felt an indescribable pleasure when listening to her.
Qingzhou Mu was at the foot of the mountain with all the officers and soldiers at this time.
He has sent people to attack the grain transport convoy several times, but never succeeded.
As soon as his soldiers and horses come within the opponent's range, they will be mercilessly strangled.
Qingzhou Mu originally thought that it would be very simple to do this today:
He brought so many men and horses, and the other party had a total of several hundred men and horses, most of whom were carters transporting grain.
If these people dare to kill people in his Qingzhou, they will have to pay a heavy price.
But when he actually faced the opponent's troops, he realized that he was the one who had to pay a heavy price!
He gritted his teeth and asked his confidants: "Who is the other party?"
The confidant replied: "Looking at their direction, they are going to Qinzhou. They should be a food buying team sent by the King of Qin."
Qingzhou Mu glared at him and said: "There are so many of them heading towards Qinzhou. Linyuan over there has been destroyed by King Qin, and only Qinzhou is left!"
The confidant also knew that what he said was nonsense, but he said again: "They have a lot of rice in their hands."
This is also what Qingzhou Mu cares about most.
Last year, the weather was hot and there was no rain for several months, so the crops in Qingzhou failed.
If the people have no harvest, they will naturally not be able to pay taxes.
The imperial court was pressing hard, and all taxes needed to be paid on time.
The pastor of Qingzhou was so annoyed that he issued a death order and forced the people to hand over their stored grain and pay taxes. Only then did they reluctantly pay the taxes required by the court.
But because of this incident, the people didn't even have enough grain to cultivate this year.
If the people don't farm, this year's taxes will not be paid, and Qingzhou Mu will definitely be held accountable.
During this period, Qingzhou Mu’s hair fell out in handfuls because of the matter of grain cultivation.
So when he heard that a grain transport team from Qinzhou was passing through Qingzhou, he became interested.
He knew that the people of Qinzhou were very difficult to deal with, but it was not like they had not robbed Qinzhou's food before, and they had not seen the King of Qin bring his men to attack them.
When Qingzhou Mu heard that Qinzhou had bought a lot of grain this time, he became more active.
Qinzhou is poor, and Qingzhou is also poor.
Although Qingzhou's overall geographical location is closer to the capital than Qinzhou, with more rain and more fertile land, it is still poor overall.
Coupled with the tax payment last year, Qingzhou Mu was quite excited about this batch of grain.
He felt that although Qinzhou was not easy to mess with, he did not have the courage to attack Qingzhou.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Qinzhou dares to attack Linyuan because Linyuan is not the territory of Dayan.
If the King of Qin led troops and horses to attack Qingzhou, he would be treason.
Qingzhou Mu has been observing the behavior of Qinzhou next door in the past few years. He feels that although the King of Qin is very capable, he would never dare to rebel.
Over the years, although everyone knew that Emperor Cheng Ming had made King Qin the crown prince, King Qin had always stayed in Qinzhou.
Emperor Chengming had serious thoughts, and everyone was spreading rumors that although he wanted to make King Qin the crown prince, his real purpose was to coax King Qin back to the capital and then kill him.
Everyone felt that the person Emperor Cheng Ming really wanted to pass on to the throne was the third prince who was currently helping to handle the affairs of the court.
It was precisely because of these conjectures that Qingzhou Mu was certain that King Qin would not dare to touch Qingzhou.
So he felt that he had to find a way to get this food, so he asked his brother-in-law to rob the food.
The result was completely beyond his expectation. The people in Qinzhou were very arrogant this time and shot his brother-in-law directly.
After the news came back, his wife cried beside him every day and asked him to help his brother-in-law take revenge.
Qingzhou Mu was very upset, and since Qingzhou didn't have a fan king, he was the top leader in Qingzhou, so he was used to it.
Now that his brother-in-law was killed by Qinzhou people, how could he endure this?
So he personally led Qingzhou's soldiers and horses to kill them. As a result, he hasn't grabbed a grain of food so far, but has lost many men and horses.
At this point, if he doesn't know that the other person is not easy to mess with, then he is a pig.
But now that he has so many men and horses surrounding him, he is already in a difficult position.
Because before he went out, he said he wanted to seize the food, avenge his brother-in-law, and promote Qingzhou's reputation.
A confidant whispered in front of him: "Sir, although these people are transporting food, you can see that they behave in a controlled manner. They are probably soldiers."
Qingzhou Mu said with a cold face: "So what?"
The confidant replied: "There has been no fighting in Qingzhou for many years, and our soldiers and horses are not particularly good at fighting."
"Qinzhou has been fighting with Linyuan these years. Their soldiers and horses are all highly trained soldiers. One of them can defeat ten of us."
Qingzhou Mu didn't really want to admit this, but the corpses on the ground told him that these were the facts.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you asking me to let them leave now?"
The confidant hurriedly said: "Of course not! Although we can't get through now, they have a lot of food and grass, so we can't get out."
"And after all, they only have so many people, so they won't have too many arrows in their hands."
"And our troops are much larger than theirs. No matter how strong they are, we can still wear them to death."
Qingzhou Mu feels that his method is a bit laborious to operate, but for now, he has no better way.
He took a deep breath and let people continue to attack.
He was worried that this place was too close to Qinzhou. If he didn't transport the grain and grass early, the news would spread back to Qinzhou and the King of Qin would come to trouble him, which would be annoying.
Their desperate rush forward really put a lot of pressure on Ning Guzhou.
