Chapter 1539: Game of chess (1)

“. don’t know when the grain will arrive, but the grain in Songshan can only last ten days at most, and this is with the guards tightening their belts and the strength Gu tribe soldiers gnawing on the cornbread …”

While listening to mo sang and Miao Youfang’s discussion about how to become the top scorer after the war, Xu Erlang was thinking about the food problem.

The strength Gu tribe and the heart Gu tribe’s flying beast Army had completely destroyed Songshan County.

Not to mention flying beasts, their size was there, so it was understandable that they had a big appetite. However, the strength Gu tribe members made the guards of Songshan “shocked.”

The guards ate with bowls in their hands, while the strength Gu tribe warriors ate with buckets of rice beside them.

During the war, the defenders ate three meals a day and two on normal days.

The strength Gu tribe’s Warriors ate four meals a day and five during battle.

Xu Erlang was mentally prepared. After all, Lina and lingying had been eating so much that their mother’s scalp was numb, and the Xu family was very rich now.

Not to mention the four hundred strength Gu tribe warriors.

However, Xu Erlang still underestimated the appetite of the strength Gu tribe warriors. He was wrong to use Lina and Ling Ying’s appetites as a reference.

This was because her stupid sister and her stupid master only knew how to laugh and laugh on normal days. They did not consume any energy.

How could they be compared to Warriors who licked blood on the edge of their blades?

“As long as we can replenish our supplies, I can hold on to Songshan County.” Xu niannian thought to himself.

Da Feng’s cannons and ballistae were in charge of covering fire, the heart venom division’s flying beast Army was in charge of throwing attacks from high altitudes, the corpse venom division’s corpse controllers were in charge of fearless suicide soldiers, and the dark venom division were in charge of assassination.

The strength Gu tribe was in charge of clearing the enemies that climbed up the walls.

Along with Xu Erlang’s commanding ability, the county chief was impregnable.

The rebel army outside the city, nine thousand elites and twenty thousand Motley troops, had changed their strategy. They changed from attacking the city to surrounding it, trying to make Songshan County the second Wan County.

It was worth mentioning that The Motley Army was a militia made up of common people. It was made up of refugees and strong young men who were forcibly recruited into the Army. The leader was a Jianghu man recruited by the rebel army of Yunzhou.

“Last time I heard Erlang say that as long as the Spring Festival is over, the state of Qing Zhou will improve?”

Miao Youfang was multitasking, chatting while playing chess. He felt that he was indeed a genius.

“It’s because the situation in the Central Plains will improve. The cold disaster is the main reason, followed by the lack of food, which led to the current chaotic situation. Once spring comes, the first thing that will happen is that the cold will no longer be able to threaten the people.”

Xu cijiu placed the half-eaten cornbread on the table and began to eat sparingly.

“Secondly, farming is the instinct of the people. Only by farming in spring can the autumn harvest be achieved. Many of the refugees would choose to pick up their hoes again. As long as the Imperial court reallocated the abandoned land, a large portion of the refugees would be settled.

however, at that time, there will definitely be countless Squires and aristocrats taking the opportunity to merge the land and not leave a way out for the people. It all depends on whether Emperor Yongxing’s spirit is enough.

At this point, he furrowed his delicate and good-looking eyebrows. The new king was good at everything, but he was not bold.

He couldn’t count on him to do great things.

If Emperor Yongxing could follow his plan and secretly “sacrifice” the Squires, aristocrats, and the powerful landlords, the number of people who merged with the land after the spring would decrease sharply.

“What if we still can’t hold the fort after the spring Festival?”

“Will you die in Songshan County, or will you run away?” Miao Youfang asked out of habit.

Mose raised his head and said, ”

the strength Gu tribe won’t run away. If I die in the Central Plains, remember to send my body back to the southern border and give it to my father.

Miao Youfang then looked at Xu Erlang, who muttered to himself, ”

“I’ll do my best and leave it to fate. If I really have to die, as a scholar, I’ll naturally sacrifice my life for justice. Brother Miao, what about you?”

“How can I die in battle? I’m someone who will become a hero in the future. Well, if such a day really comes, remember to carve the word “hero” on my tombstone. Then, help me apologize to Xu yinluo.”

Miao Youfang thought for a moment and said,”that’s right, you have to burn a few servant girls paper figurines for me every year.” Even if I go to the netherworld, I’ll still sleep with women.”

Xu cijiu shook his head, his eyes never leaving the book. He reached out to grab the cornbread, but he grabbed nothing.

Eh? He turned his head and saw that the table was empty. When he looked up again, he saw mo sang chewing two mouthfuls, swallowing the cornbread, and then pretending that nothing had happened, seriously playing chess with Miao Youfang.

I’m not happy with you … Xu niannian cursed in his heart, but he didn’t show any emotion on his face. He said, ”

“Brother mo sang, I always think of your sister when I see you.”

The dark-skinned Mose turned around and said, ”

“What do you mean?”

He knew that Xu niannian was Xu yinluo’s younger brother, and he also knew that Lina had stayed with the Xu family for half a year.

Xu Erlang said sincerely, ”

“Brother Mosang and Lina are both pure people, and they have fully developed the concept of” food is the heaven for the people. If everyone in the world could be like you and your sister, the nine regions would have long been ruled by inaction, and there would not be so many wars.”

Mo sang didn’t expect that he and his sister would be able to get such high praise from Xu niannian, who had entered the Imperial examinations twice. He was very happy and laughed.

“Lord Xu is too kind. This brother is slow-witted and can’t take the responsibility. As for Lina, my father often praises her for being smart since she was young.”

Did your father have some misunderstanding about ‘being smart since young’. .. Xu niannian nodded and read quietly.

Miao Youfang, on the other hand, felt that Xu Erlang’s words had hidden meanings, but he had no evidence.

At the mention of Lina, Mose became more talkative. He said, ”

“You’ve been busy fighting the war these past few days while you’ve been hanging out in the Central Plains. Do you know what my sister, Lina, is known for in the pugilistic world of the Central Plains?”
