Chapter 74 Victory Escape 3

Zhou Shixiong originally wanted to talk to Kuai Fu about the origin of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but unfortunately the old man didn't like him and left, leaving only Kuai Mu left in the hall waiting to greet him. Zhou Shixiong had no time to argue with Kuai Fu, so he took out the drawings of the sled car and handed them to Kuai Mu, "See if you can do it?"

Kuai Mu is worthy of being a professional. After a few glances, he saw the key points of the sled cart and returned the drawings to Zhou Shixiong. "Sir, this is easy to make, but I don't know what the use of this thing?" Adding two sticks under a rectangular wooden box, the design is so simple that it can be done. Not to mention a master like Kuai Mu, even a little carpenter who has just started it can do it. Kuai Mu really wants to turn his head and leave, if Zhou Shixiong is not an official.

"You make one first." Zhou Shixiong knew that sled car was easy to make, but people who had never used it did not understand the use of this thing.

After handing the sled to Kuaimu, Zhou Shixiong began to consider how to transport the grain. Zhou Shixiong did not think about transporting all the grain, because it was an impossible task. He only planned to prepare one month's food for more than 100,000 civilians, and he could not bring it with him if he had too much. As for the issue of people's meals a month later, it had nothing to do with him, and that was what the court had to consider. Zhou Shixiong burned the remaining grain with a fire and was reluctant to leave. This was enough for 100,000 people to eat half a year, and saved enough for 200,000 people to eat for half a year. This was not a quarter of the food that had been burned.

"Jizhou, why did I forget this place!" After thinking hard for a while, Zhou Shixiong suddenly saw the two words Jizhou on the map and slapped the table. Liu Liangzuo stood aside and was startled by him, "Sir, what's wrong with Jizhou?"

"Mingfu, take my warrant and go to Jizhou. Madengyun, Tongzhou, sent troops to transport grain and ride the little white dragon." Zhou Shixiong hurriedly wrote a warrant, ordering the general general of Jizhou, Madengyun, to send at least 10,000 people to Sanhe to transport grain. The more people, the better. Sanhe has hundreds of thousands of grain and grass.

Zhou Shixiong did not dare to send civilians to Jizhou, for fear that Huangtaiji would not be able to defend Madengyun. The food was different. Madengyun had food, so he would have the confidence to fight with Jiannu. If the city was broken, he could burn the food and grass so that Jiannu could not get anything. Therefore, Zhou Shixiong asked Madengyun to transport grain but did not mention the people's affairs.

The problem of food was solved. The last question was where to go? Go along the sea to the sea, Liangcheng Institution, Lutai and Beitang. The only city is solid. It is similar to Sanhe City, and it was built to garrison troops. If possible, Zhou Shixiong wanted to send these people to Tianjin Wei. The city there was definitely stronger than Ningyuan. Jiannu wanted to capture Tianjin Wei unless there were one or two hundred red cannons, he could only stare at the city wall.

Zhou Shixiong was unable to make a decision for a while, so he simply walked out of the house and went to the town to take a look to learn about the recovery of the people.

As the deputy general of the Assistant Defense, Ma Dengyun was in Jizhou. It was also a matter of fact that Yuan Chonghuan placed him here. When Yuan Chonghuan took over as the Liaodong commander, he divided Liaodong into several defense areas, including Shanhaiguan and Ning Jin. Ma Dengyun and Zhao Rujiao were both rising stars in Liaodong. Zhao Rujiao was nearly fifty years old. Because Yuan Chonghuan promoted him, he jumped from a minor official in Ganzhou Dusi to become a general in the same place.

Ma Dengyun is a real up-and-coming celebrity. He is only in his early thirties this year and was already the general of Shanhaiguan the year before yesterday. In order to control Shanhaiguan in his hands, Yuan Chonghuan thought of replacing Ma Dengyun's position with a levied salary in the border army, and let him exchange it with Zhao Rujiao. Zhao Rujiao was able to teach the general of Shanhaiguan, and Ma Dengyun could only go to Jizhou to recognise the deputy general.

Before he was thirty, Ma Dengyun was in charge, relying on his father's reputation and Yinmeng. His father Ma Gui, remembering that he was called Dongli Xima with Li Chengliang and was a pillar of Liaodong. Li Chengliang was the leader of Liaodong generals, and Ma Gui was the first. Unfortunately, Ma Gui died early, and his son was young and unable to carry the banner of the Ma family. By the time Ma Dengyun became an adult, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang and others had already risen and firmly occupied the circle of power in Ningyuan, Jinzhou. It was God's blessing that Ma Dengyun could get Shanhaiguan.

Unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan chose Zu Dashou as his ally, and of course he looked down on the former No. 1 general in Liaoxi. He used several tricks to scatter Madengyun into the pass, making him look embarrassed by the sign of the General in Liaoxi. Originally, Yuan Chonghuan exchanged the positions of Zhao Rujiao and Madengyun, and Madengyun should have gone to Santun Camp, but Madengyun refused to take office, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother to be the general in a small place in Jizhou. Many people said that he was stupid. Now, looking at the fate of Zhu Guoyan, the general of Santun Camp, no one thought Madengyun was a fool.

Liu Liangzuo rode the little white dragon and rushed to Jizhou before nightfall. He shot his waist card seal to the city. Liu Liangzuo helped Xiaobailong wipe his sweat with pain. This horse is Zhou Shixiong's spare horse and rarely rides it normally. Zhou Shixiong usually rides a little red horse. After all, the reputation of the sweat-blooded BMW is greater than that of the Arabian horse, especially the red sweat-blooded BMW, which can easily remind Zhou Shixiong of the famous horse in the Legend of Bird Shooting Heroes.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo are personal guards, responsible for taking care of Xiaohongma and Xiaobailong respectively. Liu Liangzuo's love for Xiaobailong is far more than Zhou Shixiong. Today, in order to make Xiaobailong run for a day in order to rush forward, Liu Liangzuo was of course very distressed.

Ma Dengyun was startled when he received the sign and seal from the city gate official and hurried to the city tower, "Come in to welcome the Governor's messenger."

Ma Dengyun was more courageous than Emperor Chongzhen, so he was not worried about any problems when opening the city gate. Anyway, those who could enter the city would have entered a long time ago, and those who could not enter the city would have run away. Jizhou had no hair in a radius of hundreds of miles, so what could he be afraid of?

Liu Liangzuo did not enter the city, so he took out Zhou Shixiong's handwriting in the city gate and explained by the way, "The lower official followed my governor and captured Sanhe City. There were millions of stones of grain and grass under the city. The governor was reluctant to burn it. He asked the lower official to send a letter to General Ma. If he wanted food, he would send someone to transport it. The governor would stay in Sanhe for at most for three days, minus today there were only two days left. If General Ma did not want food, he could only endure the pain and burn it."

Since Jiannu passed around Jizhou to attack Jingji, Ma Dengyun hadn't read the Dibao for a long time. He had no impression of the character Zhou Shixiong. If Liu Liangzuo came to deceive him to go to Sanhe to die, he would never have made up a name that no one had heard of to cheat? But no one knew what happened to the governor of the Jingying of Zhou, and Ma Dengyun dared not believe it.

Liu Liangzuo had no time to sign and collect the warrant with him quickly, so he could go back and report. "General Liu Qian, I have never heard of Governor Zhou's name, and I really doubt that I cannot sign for this warrant." Still, the conservative mentality prevailed, and Ma Dengyun refused to sign for the visa. Liu Liangzuo showed disdain, "It is your own business for General Ma to obey the order. If you don't sign for the official, how can you return to report? Take a step back and say that even if I am fake, signing for the receipt will not cause any harm to you. Don't make it difficult for me to run errands."

Ma Dengyun was in a state of confidence and began to stir up trouble again when facing Liu Liangzuo. Is this Governor Zhou real? If it is true, I will be a serious crime to violate the order. What should I do? Huo Cuiguang, the governor of Jizhou, stood aside and listened clearly, and couldn't help but speak, "General Ma, Jiannu has invaded the invasion and the people's livelihood is in chaos. There are tens of thousands of refugees in the prefecture city without covering their clothes and food. If the general is afraid that it is Jiannu's strategy, I am willing to go to Sanhe and see if it is true or not. But the adults need to send a team of elite soldiers to accompany him. If it is a strategy, they can break out of the siege and report the news."

Huo Cuiguang thought very thoughtfully, of course Liu Liangzuo didn't care, but when he got the receipt, he said, "No matter whether it is true or false, General Ma would better organize the big animal vehicles and the young man first, and set off immediately when he received the message from this adult. Jiannu will come here at most three days, and the commander will not wait for you for three days." Ma Dengyun thought about it and prepared everything and manpower. If it was really, he could set off immediately. If it was a plan, he could waste some manpower at most, or make a fool of himself.

Liu Liangzuo said that he kept rushing back all the way. Huo Cuiguang asked Ma Dengyun for three hundred horses and asked the guards who escorted him to travel one by one and three horses. He galloped all night and arrived at Sanhe with no change of horses. Liu Liangzuo was very unhappy. According to his idea, he should have rushed back before dawn. Xiao Bailong had such strength.

Before he saw Zhou Shixiong, Huo Cuiguang had already believed Liu Liangzuo's words. The people in Liyang Town looked messy, and Jiannu was incompetent to prevent so many people from running away without anyone being taken into custody.

Zhou Shixiong met the magistrate and heard Liu Liangzuo's report that Ma Dengyun dared not send people over. He was very unhappy. Yesterday, he built and transformed nearly a thousand sled cars. Today, he was busy for a day, which should be enough for the people to transfer. Ma Dengyun refused to come to transport grain, which would disrupt his plan!

"Please calm down your anger. The officer will rush back and notify General Ma. The grain transport team will definitely come tomorrow morning. Please wait for the Governor." Before Zhou Shixiong could speak, Huo Cuiguang had already seen the signs. The Governor was very angry.

"Mr. Huo doesn't have to do this. You'd better go back. You can't let the people take risks for food." Zhou Shixiong didn't believe that people in Jizhou could walk to Sanhe in one day with their legs.

"Governor General, Jizhou is not a place for grain storage. Yuan led 20,000 Ningyuan troops into the city to consume half of the food in the city. People who fled to the city these days gathered in the city. The officials could not take out the food for them. In a few days, they might starve to death. Please wait for another day, just one day!" Huo Cuiguang was very good at telling tragic stories. At least the two fighting men of Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo were a little moved. Zhou Shixiong did not care whether you mentioned the miserable world or the miserable universe, he would not wait for even one minute.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo were also hungry because they had been a border army for so many years, but they had never tried to go hungry that year. For food, they had a greed from the bone marrow, or a sense of need from the stomach. "Mr. Huo would better order someone to rush back to report the message. You can't control whether you wait or not."
