Taoyuan County, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, is in another world called Siyang County. It has the beautiful scenery of "a thousand hectares of peaches and thousands of green willows". However, these beautiful scenery cannot be seen in winter. It was winter night, and the township guarding the river on the river embankment outside the city curled up and stood beside the fire. Because the Donglu army was on the north bank, they have been patrolling the embankment for the past few days.

Suddenly, the movement on the river made them nervous. They found the fleet on the river. They immediately pounded the gong nervously. The harsh gong sounded in the night sky and soon reached the head of Taoyuan City and all the way to the county government. At this time, Taoyuan magistrate Sun Mingliang was drinking and writing poems with Gong Changyun, the magistrate of Suqian County who came to take refuge in the river. The urgency of the gong made his drink immediately wake up.

"Did the Donglu army cross the river? Brother Mingzhe, what should I do?"

Compared to Sun Mingliang's panic, Gong Changyun was extremely calm. After learning that the Donglu had attacked, he immediately ordered the people to strengthen the Qing Dynasty and retreat to the other side to take refuge. When the Qing army was approaching Suqian, although he abandoned the city and fled for a little resistance, he burned Suqian with a torch, leaving only a abandoned city for the Qing army.

Among the many local officials, Gong Changyun's response was quite urgent. He heard Sun Mingliang's question, and he said.

"Weida, don't worry, go to the city first!"

Although he was surprised that the Qing army had crossed the river so quickly, Gong Changyun seemed quite calm, just a death. Thinking of this, when he went up to the city with Sun Mingliang, news came from the other side of the city wall.

"What, Prince De is here! Oh, Brother Mingzhe, you and I have saved you now! With Prince De here, the Donglu will definitely not dare to offend my Taoyuan. Hurry up, please ask Prince De to enter the city."

Gong Changyun hurriedly reminded him.

"We have to work hard!"

"Yes, you have to work hard, you have to work hard!"

Chen Wudi, who had just got off the boat, looked in the direction of Taoyuan County, then frowned and said:

"Why is this Taoyuan magistrate so negligent? He hasn't come to welcome me into the city yet!"

Just as the officers and soldiers got off the boat and rested, they saw a team of people escorting several trucks of food and grass to the dock. The leader Sun Mingliang clasped his fists and said.

"My generals, I am the magistrate of Taoyuan, Sun Mingliang, this Dongliu is in the territory. You are risking your life to rescue me. It is really a blessing for my Taoyuan father. I hope he will forgive me if I have any negligence!"

Pointing at the trucks of food and supplies, Chen Wudi said.

"Are you sending beggars?"

The other party's disrespectful tone made Sun Mingliang angry, but when he thought that the other party was a rough general, he forced himself to smile.

"You generals don't know that recently, the Eastern Barbarians have arrived, and a large number of refugees in Jiangbei fled into Taoyuan. Our county consumed a lot of food to resettle refugees. We really couldn't get any extra food and grass. Please forgive me. By the way, where is His Highness the Prince?"

"You are Taoyuan County."

When he heard that the magistrate of Taoyuan came to reward the army, Zhu Guoqiang walked over with a smile, "The little minister, Sun Mingliang, the magistrate of Taoyuan, met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No gift!"

With the light of the torch, I saw that there were only five or six carts of food and grass, but it was not yet filled. The smile on my face suddenly stiffened. This is what they rewarded the army!

Not enough to have a meal.

"Your Highness, the local gentry, who heard that your highness was leading the army, were all grateful. They had prepared wine and food in the city and asked Your Highness to move the shelves."

Listening to Taoyuan County, Zhu Guoqiang snorted.

"Can there be wine?"

Well?

Sun Mingliang, who was stunned for some reason, quickly replied.

"Of course there is!"

"Can there be meat?"

"some?"

"Where is the wine? Where is the meat?"

"Here, in the city, please let His Highness move..."

"Hmph, move on. This prince leads troops south to fight against the enemy. If he wants to defeat the enemy, it is worth the food for the soldiers. If this prince enters the city and enjoys it exclusively, where will the soldiers in the army be placed!"

Staring at Taoyuan County, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.

"We have traveled thousands of miles to fight south day and night. Taoyuan County not only did not prepare all the food and grass, but also wanted to feast the prince alone to defeat our army's morale. Taoyuan County! What is your intention?"

"ah!"

Suddenly, Sun Mingliang was stunned. What is the reason for this?

"Your Highness, little minister, absolutely nothing, that kind of thought..."

"Hmph, I really don't have that kind of mind!"

In terms of hats, Zhu Guoqiang, who is also a keyboard warrior, believes that even if he is a minister in the court, he may not be able to compare with him.

This time, the southward journey itself depends on local governments to assist in food and grass, and these local officials... let alone now, even a few years later, there will be a few sincere assistance in food and grass for the guest army, one of which is extremely treacherous and even forced to rebel against the generals. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was destroyed was that these civil officials who looked down on military generals accounted for at least 60% of them! Now it is just right to kill the chicken for the monkey to see.

"If I don't have that kind of mind, why do we only provide a few trucks of food and grass for our army? Who can eat these trucks of food and grass? While letting my soldiers eat bran and drink thin, they invite this prince to have a banquet. Isn't this trying to disrupt our morale? What's the matter! Come!"

The prince's sudden turn of confrontation, let alone Sun Mingliang, even Chen Wudi and others were stunned. What was the prince's singing?

In amazement, he didn't even react. It was not until the prince shouted again that the guards beside him reacted.

"The little one is here!"

"I want to see how he colluded with the Eastern Captains to disrupt our morale!"

Sun Mingliang, who was labeled as such a big hat, was completely stunned. In fact, in his heart, he not only looked down on military generals, but also looked down on the royal family, and immediately said excitedly.

"Crown Prince De, I am the official appointed by the court. You, you have no right to humiliate me like this. These trucks of food and supplies have been completed with all the benevolence and righteousness!"

"Okay, a kind and righteous one is done. This prince is also done with you. Come on, this guy colludes with the Eastern Captains to destroy our army's morale. Let's take down and beat a hundred military sticks first!"

Sun Mingliang, who originally wanted to protect himself with his official position, thought that Prince De was so arrogant. He was stunned and immediately surrendered. He had no choice but to refuse to surrender. One hundred military sticks were obviously deadly!

"Criminal, I'm wronged, wronged,...ah!"

In the blink of an eye, the screams were replaced by screams. The military sticks beaten by the thick men in the army were not the court sticks of the inner officials. They did not have the ability to hurt flesh and not hurt people. But just a dozen sticks, Sun Mingliang exhaled more and inhaled less, and he was about to die.

"Shi, Prince, please ask Prince Rao County Master to live..."

Seeing this, Dian Shi was about to speak, when he heard the prince snorting coldly.

"I am so charming in our army, and add one hundred military sticks!"

The moment the words fell, everyone was stunned. This must be a fatal death.

"Shi, Prince..."

After glanced at the man who spoke, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"Has the food and grass been prepared?"

"Already, it's ready!"

"Where is the meat and vegetables?"

"I, I should prepare it all!"
