Chapter 310 Hongmen Banquet! The Son of Destiny? [Poor Location: Resurrection of Underground River and Volcano]

Killing pigs and vegetables...Hongmen Banquet...eating wine.

As soon as the invitation came from the Sheriff's Mansion, many wealthy families in the city were immediately frightened, with fear and bitterness on their faces, and they all looked forward to the young man who would come forward to cause trouble.

However, in the face of the force of the Qingliang bandit-suppressing coalition, many big-name wealthy people in the city were unwilling to march forward for the king and take chestnuts from the fire for other people. They all put on a smile and came to the banquet.

Send a military banquet.

In the Jiuquan County Magistrate's Mansion, many servants came and delivered plates of delicacies, including grilled carp, braised lamb tail, steamed bear paws, sauce duck, bacon, roasted braised chicken... and all kinds of drinks, as long as Jiuquan County has

Yes, there are them at every table.

All the wealthy businessmen were full of resentment. They were not interested in facing a large table of delicious food. They barely ate a few mouthfuls, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and complained one after another:

"General Xin has gone too far. The rat infestation is rampant, and every family has suffered more or less disasters. Why do you want to do this? Hongmen Banquet?"

"Return to the Hongmen Banquet?"

"Obviously they are treating us little people like pigs to slaughter!"

"Brother Li, why don't you start and respond to General Xin? If he takes away too much money and food in one go, our sons will immediately disband and return to their fields!"

"If that doesn't work, Nai Gong was hit by an arrow in the knee a few days ago and is not feeling well. I would like to ask Brother Zhao to take the lead. I am willing to follow Brother Zhao through fire and water, no matter what!"

Jiang Chen sat in the corner, enjoying a table of delicious food alone, listening quietly without saying a word. Only after hearing the last two sentences, he couldn't help laughing.

Which of you is not rich?

Do you deserve to be called a commoner?

If you really have the courage to challenge the mighty Marquis Wu, you can be considered a man, but you are better off, pushing back and forth one by one, hoping that others will die!

"It's just a bunch of rabble..."

Jiang Chen secretly commented:

"It won't work!"

Throughout the wine table, the discussion became more and more intense. There was an old man who even pretended to be beating his feet and chest, and said sadly:

"This money and food have been collected by our ancestors for generations... Bah, if we work hard and get rich, how can we use it as military resources in vain?"

Others echoed:

"Although our Li family in Jiuquan is a branch, the main family also has a General Li, who is also the Marquis of Wu, so what should we fear?"

"What about you, the Li family, please say something first?"

"Hey, didn't Nai Gong just say that he was hit by an arrow in the knee? How can you have the nerve to let an injured person lead the charge?"

Many wealthy merchants had been arguing for a long time, but no one was willing to come forward. When Xin Longzi strode into the front hall, everyone immediately changed their expressions, stood up obediently, and bowed, including the "knee

The Li family who was hit by an arrow.

"I've met the governor general!"

"There's no need to stick to etiquette, just sit down."

Xin Longzi said lightly and sat at the main table.

Wei Anguo and Zhang Baisui took their seats on the left and right respectively.

The momentum of the three people was like a dragon triumphing over a tiger, overwhelming the hundreds of wealthy businessmen present and making them breathless.

"hehe."

Jiang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to these mundane things and silently enjoyed the delicious food at the table.

As for Xin Longzi, with the support of nine thousand Qingzhou troops, he was much more confident and said coldly:

"While the three armies are still moving, food and grass will go first."

"The general is going out of the city to suppress the bandits. He urgently needs one hundred thousand stones of military rations to prepare for emergencies. However, all the rice and rations in the official warehouse have been corroded by the damn rats. What do you think?"

At this time, when the Li family in Jiuquan saw that everyone on the left and right refused to speak, they became cold-faced and took the lead in attacking, bowing their waists and saying with a smile on their faces:

"General Xin, our Li family has transported all the food and grass from the family to Hexi Guancheng, and General Li has signed for it. There is really no food left!"

In a nutshell:

The landlord’s family has no surplus food!

Moreover, the Li family in Jiuquan is backed by General Li who guards Hexi Pass (Jiayu Pass) and is not someone to be trifled with.

The other big businessmen, seeing someone taking the lead, also echoed:

"General Xin, my precious son is in your army and serves as the leader of five hundred. In order to support this brat's development, the family's money and food have been almost spent. We can't let this brat temporarily disarm and return to the field.

Then save money and food?"

"My family is willing to give a thousand dan of grain to support General Xin in suppressing the bandits, but this is all the food my family can provide. I hope General Xin will show mercy."

The strategy adopted by this person is to use the children of the army as "united front value", hoping that General Xin can reduce some of his share.

To put it bluntly.

Even if you are a dead Taoist friend, you will not die as a poor Taoist!

But this time, Xin Longzi did not panic at all. After all, this time he only brought a thousand elite cavalry to suppress the bandits.

The main remaining nine thousand infantry are all from the Qingzhou Army.

Xin Longzi sneered:

"Bring me the list!"

The two soldiers immediately understood and handed sheets of paper like death lists to the hands of many wealthy businessmen.

Even the father of a certain 500-year-old master also shouldered the share of 2500 dan. Everyone stared at these papers with extremely sad expressions on their faces.

Under violence, all living beings are equal!

These people who came to attend the banquet can be said to be the most distinguished people in Jiuquan County. In front of the poor people, they are like man-eating dragons and tigers descending from the mountain.

But in the face of the violence of Qingliang's bandit-suppressing coalition, even a dragon must be coiled, and a tiger must shrink its head.

In fact.

This is also the beauty of interstate law enforcement!

If the Qingzhou Army returns to its hometown, even Jiang Chen may not be able to command the soldiers and force local large households to donate food and grass.

After all, being able to support a Qingzhou soldier is equivalent to supporting a scholar in the previous life. There may be some poor families, but there are definitely not many.

Every big householder can contact hundreds of generals, five hundred masters, commanders of thousands, and even captains through various methods.

but--

This is Liangzhou!

For the Qingzhou Army, what if they offend a local big business? After the battle, they can just pat their butts and leave.

Xin Longzi was assisted by the Qingzhou Army, so he was naturally more confident. He sat in the main seat, looked down at the many wealthy businessmen present, and said coldly:

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

The whole place was silent.

No one dares to offend a powerful Wuhou in person, let alone offend ten thousand powerful soldiers.

Everyone present had a grimace and honestly agreed to this list of food recipients, which was almost like killing a pig.

In just half a day, the Qingliang bandit-suppressing coalition forces obtained 10,000 shi of food and grass, which was also the limit of what the county city could supply.

The remaining 90,000 shi of grain and grass needed to be mobilized from many counties.

"strike camp!"

Following Jiang Chen's order, the soldiers of the 18th Battalion of Qingzhou under his command, a total of three thousand people, all wearing armor, strode out of Jiuquan County.

..............

Two and a half days marching.

Qingliang and the bandit coalition troops finally turned over the three counties and entered the periphery of the chaos.

At the moment of setting in this place, Jiang Chen and Zhang Baiki immediately looked at each other, confirmed that they had noticed a trace of surprise from the other party's eyes.

Then--

One old and one young, Qi Qi launched Feng Shui Treasure!

From the changes in the land of chaos of chaos, they quickly realized that the underground was a little bit of water and spiritual power.

This means:

groundwater!

Zhang Bai is a little surprised:
