Huang Song didn't know if Meng Heng was addicted to burning, but he didn't dare to let his guard down.
Meng Heng was indeed Meng Zhan's son and Liu Xi's cousin. He was ruthless to his enemies and to himself.
Huang Song was terrified. He sent a large number of troops to patrol every day to prevent suspicious people from burning the wheat fields.
Jiang Pengji had a big family business and was very generous. He couldn't afford to let his subordinates burn millions of acres of fertile land.
He came back to his senses and explained the pros and cons in detail to Cheng Jing and Huang Song. Cheng Jing sighed and could only suppress the thought of venting his anger.
When the autumn harvest was over, he wouldn't have to worry anymore. Before that, he had to bear with it!
The originally tense atmosphere calmed down. Other than training every day, it was the repetitive patrolling and checking tasks.
Not everyone liked boring tasks. Someone couldn't bear it anymore.
Yuan Chong finished his training and noticed a familiar figure on the drill ground. His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
It was Yuan Xin's eldest son, Yuan Kuang.
Yuan Chong hesitated for a while and took the initiative to greet him. He didn't want Yuan Kuang to accuse him of being rude and arrogant.
Yuan Kuang's face was gloomy and his eyes were burning. He didn't look friendly. Yuan Chong sighed in his heart.
He finally understood the grievances of military advisor Nie Xun.
Nie Xun was strangely bitten by the mad dog Yuan Xin. He was strangely bitten by the mad dog Yuan Kuang. The father and son were poisonous!
Yuan Kuang took the initiative to challenge him. "The weather is nice today. Why don't you practice with me?"
Yuan Chong felt uneasy. He didn't want to accept the challenge, but he couldn't embarrass his opponent in public.
"Okay! Cousin, please! "
Although they were cousins, in reality, the two of them were already separated from each other. Their relationship was not close, and they did not speak much in the past.
Yuan Kuang took after his father. Ever since he was young, he was always competitive and unwilling to admit defeat. When he was young, he was also fierce and aggressive.
Yuan Chong usually took a detour around the other party, but he didn't expect to be blocked today.
The two stood on the drill ground and cupped their fists. Before Yuan Chong could react, Yuan Kuang had taken the initiative and rushed forward with his sword.
After two rounds, Yuan Chong's expression darkened. He realized that Yuan Kuang had developed a murderous intent towards him. This so-called 'sparring' was aimed at his vitals. If it wasn't for Yuan Chong's solid martial skills, he would have been pierced through by the other party.
The more they fought, the angrier he became. Yuan Chong forced Yuan Kuang back and asked in a low voice, "What is the meaning of this? Killing someone in public? "
Yuan Kuang charged forward again, his moves becoming even more vicious, as if he wouldn't stop until he killed Yuan Chong.
Yuan Chong was also infuriated. The two of them continued to exchange blows, and the shadows of their swords and sabers flashed continuously.
The soldiers around the drill ground did not know that they were serious. Instead, they applauded and cheered. It was very lively.
Yuan Kuang was getting more and more frustrated as he failed to take down Yuan Chong. He lost focus and gave Yuan Chong an opportunity to knock his weapon out of his hand.
"Give me an explanation! If you don't give us an explanation, we will go to the Lord to judge! "
Yuan Kuang glared at Yuan Chong angrily. "If you didn't jump out to fight with me that day, I would have broken through the Three Mountains Canyon. How would I have given the enemy the chance to burn hundreds of miles of farmland? Now look at the situation. Isn't it your fault that the Lord is in a passive position? "
Yuan Chong was stunned for a second and tried hard to digest Yuan Kuang's words.
He laughed angrily. "Things can change on the battlefield in an instant. What you said makes me laugh my head off!"
Yuan Kuang was really confident in himself. He led the army to break through the Three Mountains Canyon on the first day. Did he think he was a god?
The Three Mountains Canyon was indeed easy to attack and hard to defend. But why didn't Yuan Kuang look at who was guarding the Three Mountains Canyon?
The elite troops that had been trained with countless efforts were all useless!
Even if Yuan Chong had the advantage of time, place, and people, he didn't dare to say that he could break through the Three Mountains Canyon in a day.
According to the calculations of the military counselors, it would take at least four days to break through the canyon.
Didn't Yuan Kuang have any idea?
If these elites were so easy to deal with, how could the Lord who led them become the strongest force in Dongqing?
It was ridiculous for Yuan Kuang to blame himself for this.
Yuan Chong secretly took a deep breath and suppressed the rising anger in his chest. He didn't want to poke a bloody hole in Yuan Kuang.
Yuan Kuang glared at Yuan Chong. "You can't do it, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it."
He was very confident in himself.
If he was the one who led the army to attack the Three Mountains Canyon that day, he would definitely be able to take it down and not give the enemy a chance to cause trouble.
Yuan Chong, on the other hand, had made a military pledge at that time.
What happened in the end?
The Three Mountains Canyon was taken down?
Yuan Chong was a gentle and low-key person. He didn't want to fight with others, but Yuan Kuang wouldn't let him go. He was very annoyed.
Yuan Chong had no choice but to secretly ask Cheng Jing for help and inform the Lord Huang Song through him.
When Huang Song heard about this, he was even more annoyed.
How did Chenzhou become like this?
Wasn't it all because of Yuan Kuang's father, Yuan Xin?
Yuan Kuang didn't reflect on himself and was a low-key person. He even jumped around everywhere, which was really an eyesore.
Huang Song would show some mercy to Yuan Xin, but he wasn't so gentle to Yuan Kuang. He reprimanded him for his one-stop service.
Yuan Kuang felt wronged.
Because the Three Mountains Canyon was safe, Jiang Pengji didn't send troops to attack Zhonghe County. Instead, she planned to rest for a while and pay attention to the war situation in Wanzhou, waiting for the autumn harvest. If she fought Huang Song now, he could use 100% of his troops to deal with her. Naturally, she would be under a lot of pressure.
During the autumn harvest, Huang Song would have to send troops to harvest food. If she sent troops again, hehe …
Apart from this reason, Jiang Pengji led the troops for a long journey and fought a series of battles. Her troops were exhausted and needed some time to rest.
Therefore, the front line in Hu County welcomed a strange period of peace.
There was peace there, but the smell of gunpowder was still strong in other places. The most intense smell was the front line in Chenzhou and Cangzhou.
Yuan Xin died, leaving a mess for Nie Xun to clean up. Unfortunately, Nie Xun couldn't cook without rice. He was criticized everywhere. Feng Jin didn't want to waste time here.
Feng Jin didn't want to waste any more time, so he sent people to secretly spread rumors and spread the news of the food shortage in Chenzhou through the mouths of the children.
When Nie Xun found out, the rumors had already spread to a large scale. There was no way to find the source.
The grain stored in Chenzhou's granary was gone!
The people within the borders were panicking. Those who had stored grain at home hid it well to prevent it from being forcibly taken away. Those who didn't had stored grain swarmed to the rice merchants to buy it. In just a few days, the rice merchants raised the price. The price of grain shot up like a rocket launcher. The people could only grit their teeth and buy it.
The people who rushed to buy grain blocked the few long streets near the rice shops.
As the crowd became more and more crowded, there was a stampede.
When the sun set, the crowd slowly dispersed.
