Chapter 454: Opening the Warehouse and Releasing Grain
Sheng Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to Chenzhou first."
"Why go to Chenzhou? Why don't we go straight to Linzhou and take the head of that old guy King Zhao? Wouldn't it be better?" Ling Yun was puzzled.
Sheng Ze glanced at him and said, "If the King of Zhao dies, there will be another Prince Zhao, or other direct descendants of the King of Zhao. Killing him will not fundamentally solve the crisis of the Hubei Army."
Ling Yun choked, it seemed that this was really the truth.
The lineage of King Zhao has always been a branch of talented people in the Jin Dynasty. Even if he really killed King Zhao, the war on the front line would not be able to stop immediately. It might even inspire the bloodiness and loyalty of King Zhao's army, making the battlefield more difficult.
"Then what are we going to do in Chenzhou?" Ling Yun didn't think of it for a moment.
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Sheng Ze really wanted to sigh. It seemed that Ling Yun had really been dozing off when he was in class with him before.
"The biggest reliance of King Zhao's army in attacking northern Hubei is the granary near the Chenzhou wharf and the logistical support that the entire Chenzhou can provide." Sheng Ze only said this.
Ling Yun suddenly realized, "That's right, let's go burn the granary, they will definitely be in chaos for a while."
Sheng Ze: "" He suddenly felt that Ling Yun seemed too violent. Why did he always kill people and burn granaries?
Ling Yun saw Sheng Ze's mouth twitch, and immediately realized that he was wrong again. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Hehe, Third Brother, just speak frankly."
"Do you still remember what the scene was like at Chenzhou Wharf when we crossed the Lanjiang River?" Sheng Ze reminded.
Ling Yun said subconsciously, "They are all civilians who have fled from all over the place."
"What do you think will happen if we open the granary near the dock?" Sheng Ze said again.
Ling Yun's eyes lit up, "Then there will definitely be a large number of people coming to grab it!"
Zheng Shicheng was kind-hearted. Although he would not send food to the people fleeing from other places, he would occasionally give them porridge to prevent them from starving to death. Therefore, many refugees wandered around the Chenzhou wharf.
After King Zhao took over Chenzhou, he did not drive away the refugees, probably with the intention of conscripting able-bodied men in the future.
He suddenly understood Sheng Ze's meaning and began to think divergently, "The law does not punish the masses. There are too many people robbing, and it is impossible for the Zhao King's army to kill them all. Without this batch of food, they will definitely transport food from the rear. Then..."
Looking at Ling Yun who couldn't stop talking, Sheng Ze finally felt a little comforted.
Their team is different from the previous decapitation team. They focus more on mobility and their mission is to create trouble for the enemy and make it difficult for them to guess the true intentions and strength of the Hubei Northern Army.
At nightfall, Sheng Ze and the others acted as planned. With him and Ling Yun there, the Zhao Wang army guarding the granary were killed without even noticing their presence.
After all the defenders were eliminated, Sheng Ze made a gesture and the others immediately dispersed, each holding a gong in their hands.
Soon after, the refugees who had not yet left the dock heard the sound of a gong, followed by human voices.
"Fellow villagers, the Hubei Northern Army has arrived to deliver food to everyone! Everyone, hurry to the granary to collect the food. First come, first served!"
This voice is obviously Ling Yun's.
At first the refugees thought they had misheard, but the refugees who were closer went over doubtfully and found that the granary was wide open, with the food inside exposed right in front of them. They immediately rushed in and tried their best to stuff it on their bodies.
"There really is food! Grab it!"
Someone shouted, and more and more refugees poured into the granary. Before Zhao Wang's army arrived, they found all kinds of things to store food, and some people even made several trips.
"The Ebei Army is such a good person! My big cow will starve to death if he doesn't eat."
