Chapter 633: Seeking Food 2

Xia Zizai was not unwilling to give Zhao Yuan food and grass, but thought about how to give him food and grass safely. He is now an imperial criminal from the court. If he easily bought food and grass from himself, he would inevitably be punished with the crime of collusion with the enemy.

To put it bluntly, what is this court? The court is just a group of people who don’t know anything. Wherever they play conspiracies, they are completely killing people without blood. Countless loyal and kind people died in this court, including their grandfather. He thought he did his best for the country, but in the end he was killed by a traitor.

So Xia Zizai had a very good understanding of the darkness of the court. He knew very well what consequences might be brought. The court had no choice but to do it, but it did not mean that he could do it with Zhao Yuan!

Qin Yu thought about it, nodded, and said, "It's better that the general thinks carefully. So according to the general's wishes, what's the best way?"

Xia Zizai said: "Since you can't buy it, you can only grab it."

Qin Yu said in surprise: "Give it?"

Xia Zizai said, "What's so strange about this? If this rabbit is too anxious, it will bite people. Don't say that this person is too urgent, what's so strange about robbing food? If you really think it's wrong, anyway, they have more gold and silver in their hands, so it's okay to force money to buy it. As long as the price is reasonable, even if someone sues the court, what can he do?"

Qin Yu nodded and said, "I understand, so let's arrange it immediately!"

After leaving Xia Zi here, Qin Yu hurried back, found Zhao Yuan, and said, "Sect Master Yang, you should put away these gold and silver?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean?"

Qin Yu said: "We can't sell our food to you."

Zhao Yuan said: "I can't sell it to us? It's just a few days of food for more than a thousand people. Isn't you there yet in the city?"

Qin Yu said: "Prince of the Sect, please don't get me wrong. The Sect Master is not unaware of our identity. Although we are dominant outside the pass, to put it bluntly, we are still the imperial criminals of the court. If you do business with us openly, even if you are helpless, if you are used by those interested in the court, you will definitely report a memorial. Maybe you will be punished as a serious crime of colluding with foreign enemies. The general also considers this, so he does not agree to sell food to you! However, he said that it does not mean that he cannot sell food to you, which does not mean that he does not find a way. I will make people ready and set off in the middle of the night. Some food will be transported to the Western Regions through the road in front of the gate early tomorrow morning, about fifty miles away from the city. These people are all unarmed people. Don't hurt their lives at that time!"

Zhao Yuan immediately understood what Qin Yu meant, not that they did not give them food, but that they had to avoid risks. They were originally a criminal offender in the court, so they were not afraid of the court at all. Moreover, the court now has no extra people to encircle them, but they are different. If they buy food from them, they might be really guilty of collusion with enemies. There should be many people in the court who hate themselves, such as Yan Song and his son.

So he nodded slightly and said, "Then please thank the general for your help!"

Qin Yu said, "Then I won't keep you anymore, the sect leader will walk slowly!"

After saying goodbye to this place, Zhao Yuan went straight to meet. On the other hand, Qin Yu secretly arranged people to prepare food and grass. If this marching and war were rushing, of course, the easy-to-eat dry food is the best. It doesn't take long for more than a thousand people to prepare the dry food. Then in the middle of the night, the transportation team began to set off.

On another occasion, Zhao Yuan hurriedly caught up with General Xiao Wang and other people.

Seeing Zhao Yuan returning empty-handed, the little general Wang was a little confused and said, "Sect Master Yang, you are back empty-handed, where is this food?"

Zhao Yuan looked around and said, "Please talk to the general!"

Seeing that he was mysterious and mysterious, General Xiao Wang followed him to the side. Zhao Yuan then said: "Xia Zizai refused to sell food to us, so all these gold, silver, jewelry and so on were returned."

General Xiao Wang was stunned and said, "I don't want to? Although I don't know how much money those gold, silver and jewelry are worth, I have to buy food for more than a thousand people for a few days! Xia Zizai is still unwilling to do it. Is it blind to do business?"

Zhao Yuan saw that he misunderstood and smiled and said, "General, please don't be excited. It's not that he refuses, but for our sake. At first I misunderstood, but after he explained, I figured it out that he was all for our own good. General, he was better to think about it. Xia Zizai was an imperial prisoner of the court. If we buy his food, it would be a collusion with the enemy. This matter is small. If it is used by some people in the court, not only will we suffer, but we will also involve Dao Lingzun, so we cannot buy this food!"

General Xiao Wang understood what Zhao Yuan meant as soon as he heard this and said, "You can't buy this, but there are still several days left, so you can't let the soldiers hungry. What's more, there may be pursuers behind you!"

Zhao Yuan said: "It's not that you can't buy it, but you can grab it!"

General Xiao Wang asked in confusion: "Ratch? Do you want us, one thousand cavalrymen to steal his Xia Zizai's city?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Of course not. He has already lined up a convoy of grain transporting vehicles, and then transported enough food we needed. He will arrive at Zizai City about fifty miles tomorrow morning. At that time, we will have to send people to grab it and bring the food out. Even if someone comes to find fault, they will have no choice. After all, we are robbing the convoy that the imperial court violated. Is there any mistake?"

General Xiao Wang was immediately happy when he heard this, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "So that's the case. I thought Xia Zizai was unwilling to get us food, but he misunderstood him. Well, arranging 300 people to go by then is enough to bring back the food needed for the altar. Then you want to rest."

Zhao Yuan nodded and agreed, turned around and came back. Shang Qianfei came over and said, "Did Xia Zizai agree?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Fortunately I still have a little face, so General Xia agreed, but the process was a little twisty."

Shang Qianfei was slightly silent and said, "If Xia Zizai's words, we have limited information to collect anywhere. After all, he was also a member of the court at the time. It is not convenient for people in the martial arts world to collect more, so as not to cause dissatisfaction from the court. However, as Xia Yan's grandson, he still has such integrity, so now you are planning to go there in person!"

Zhao Yuan said: "Those food transported were ordinary merchants and people. General Xia also told him not to hurt their lives, so I still have to go with you just in case!"

Shang Qianfei said: "Then you want to take a break."

…………

After resting for about an hour, Zhao Yuan took the 300 troops from General Xiao Wang to set out in the dark, and there were three hundred households with him. When he set off, General Xiao Wang also gave them a special explanation, so that they could obey Zhao Yuan's orders. If they violated it, they would be disobeying the military orders.

The group took advantage of the night to go straight to the predetermined location, and then stopped to rest. When the sky was just white, soldiers who were standing guard not far away rushed over and reported to Zhao Yuan and the three hundred-household chiefs: "The whereabouts of the convoy have been discovered, and we are still a few miles away."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Then I'll ask the three generals to get on the horse!"

You should know that when they were both polite to Zhao Yuanke, they still wanted to give Zhao Yuan a face, so they immediately organized their troops and prepared to set off. At this moment, another cavalryman who was standing guard came over and said, "Sir, a group of more than a hundred horse bandits are approaching the convoy. It seems that they are also coming towards the convoy!"

"Bandits?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned. The horse bandits were coming here too. It was a coincidence. He thought for a moment and said, "We will defeat this group of horse bandits first, so we can't let them hurt the person who transported the food."

These people are all those who Xia Zizai arranged to transport food to him and others. If they were damaged by the bandits and they were nearby, wouldn't they be reluctant to save them? Then Xia Zizai couldn't explain wherever they were.

After saying that, he looked at the three generals and said, "I don't know what the three generals mean?"

One of them said: "It's just a few hundred horse bandits. Are you still afraid of them? We are willing to obey your orders!"

Zhao Yuan bowed to the three of them and said, "Thank you!"

As he said that, he waved his whip and shouted, "Go!"

Three hundred people ran out of the darkness and headed straight for the bandits.

This group of more than 100 horse bandits, and the size is quite large nearby. The leader is the second leader, and the person riding a horse next to him was his confidant. At this moment, he was licking his face and said with a flattering look: "The second leader is the second leader. The small ones below have already paid back. This time, there are more than 40 vehicles escorted from Zizai City overnight. There must be some good treasures transported on the car!"

The two bosses snorted coldly and said, "I just believe you this time. Otherwise, how could you send so many brothers to come? If there are no good babies in this car and I will make it useless, I will twist your head off for you!"

The confidant hurriedly said, "Second Master, don't worry, you should know this place with green mountains and bad waters. Have you seen any convoys at night? The convoy set off overnight just to cover up the eyes. If you can guarantee that there must be something good in the car!"

The second headmaster said: "Don't rush to make sure you have good things first, and you'll know right away!"

Then he waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, come with me!"

The bandits suddenly started to scream, followed behind him, letting the horse's hooves run wildly to bring a yellow sand like a yellow dragon, and heading towards the convoy.

The people in the convoy had long heard the order. Once they found someone coming to jail the car, everyone immediately retreated. Saving their lives was important. As for the goods on the car, they could give up directly. However, among these explanations, they did not tell them another thing, which was who they were. So when they saw the bandits heading straight for everyone, they immediately left the carriage and began to retreat.

"Why did they retreat?"

The second in commander said in a little puzzled manner that if there were valuable things on the car, these guards would immediately make the carriage stand up, or form a circle, and then use it to block the horses coming. However, the people in front of him had no intention of blocking them at all, and they gave up completely, which was really strange.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves like thunder came again, and the place where the sound came from was actually opposite him and others.

The second head of the army turned his head and looked at it. He couldn't help but lose his soul. The other party had at least a few hundred people. As he got closer, he found that the group of people were actually wearing Ming Cult military uniforms.

"How could there be cavalry from the court here?"

The second head of the army thought about it but couldn't figure out why the Ming Dynasty cavalry appeared here? You should know that this is already far away from the border.

But now is not the time to think about this. Without saying a word, he immediately shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"

However, the sound of horse hooves had already covered his screams. How could the bandits who were like chicken blood could hear his shouts? So they continued to run forward. As for the Ming army that appeared in front of them, although they were afraid, no one asked to retreat, so they rushed towards the Ming army one by one, as if they were going to decide the outcome with the Ming army.

The second leader was caught by the robbers' horses and rushed directly to the Ming army. Even though he shouted loudly, the entire team seemed to have shot arrows and had no way to turn around.

On this side, Zhao Yuan rushed over with his men. He had just driven the other party away with his own numbers. Then he knew that these robbers were coming directly at their own people, looking at a rhythm of not being afraid of death at all.

Zhao Yuan really didn't know whether these horse bandits had taken the wrong medicine or were so bold. His courage was obvious. Seeing Tang and the others rushing up, the Ming army on the side did not show weakness, so he went straight to meet him.

A sudden battle was instantly fought. As for the result of the battle, it seemed that it was destined from the beginning. Zhao Yuan and others had arrived here long ago, and then waited while resting. Whether it was horses or soldiers, the state was the best, and the number of people also had an absolute advantage. In addition, it was discipline. Not to mention that there were only hundreds of robbers in front, even if there were thousands of robbers in front, they would greet them without hesitation and fight. After all, the military order was like a mountain.

But the horse bandits are different. Their personnel are all kinds of, including those who kill and flee, those who are not rich or powerful, etc. From a certain aspect, they are just a group of mobs. If the other party has few people, they may be able to get a bargain, but if the other party has many people, they will not have any advantage at all. To put it bluntly, they are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
