Chapter 34 Situation

Qingping County.

Outside a courtyard.

Song Wen was guarding the door.

Zhou An and Meng Yan were resting against a big tree in the courtyard.

Lu Yuan was lying on the bed in the room.

There was a faint smell of blood in the room.

This room was originally the residence of a family.

Everyone inside was killed.

The bodies were moved out and buried.

At this time, Lu Yuan was lying on the bed leisurely.

This bed is very soft and comfortable to sleep on.

After sleeping in the open air in the thatched straw pile on the mountain for so many days, he finally felt that he was living a normal life.

I silently said "Panel!" in my heart.

Dark blue fonts cascaded down.

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Superpowers: Immortality/Infinite Strength]

【Attributes:
Strength: 210】

210 kilograms of force.

Just now when he was eating, he finished two large bowls of rice and a large bowl of vegetables.

The infinite super power begins to take effect.

My stomach, which had just begun to feel a little full, was emptied again in an instant.

As his strength increased, the food in his stomach seemed to turn into a warm current, flowing to his limbs and bones.

He just felt warm all over.

The lean muscles on his body actually swelled up a lot.

The few minor wounds I had suffered before have almost healed without leaving any scars.

Although these changes made him very happy.

But the hunger that had drained from his stomach made his eyes glow green as he looked at his three subordinates who were still eating.

Although Zhou An, Meng Yan and Song Wen were surprised at the captain's big appetite, three bowls of rice were not enough to satisfy him.

But they were all tactful and each of them gave half of the food to the captain.

Although they were also hungry, the food they were given at this celebration banquet was not small.

For them, eating half the amount is no big deal.

After all, they are all people who have experienced hunger, and it has always been like this, so they are used to it.

After Lu Yuan finished nearly two bowls of food, he touched his stomach and let out a breath.

Barely, about 50% full.
Lu Yuan himself was speechless.

After eating five bowls of rice in one meal, you are still only 50% full?
This superpower is not given for nothing.

However, he was too embarrassed to ask his three subordinates for more, otherwise they would starve to death.

I found a courtyard and lay down.

Try not to move as much as possible to reduce your energy consumption, and then have a good meal at dinner time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt that the soft bed was extremely comfortable.

Don't care about the faint smell of blood.

He quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The former county government office.

Zhao Hu sat upright at the wooden table at the top of the county government office, fiddling with the gavel on the wooden table in his hand, and knocking it a few times from time to time. The sound of the wood knocking could be heard outside the county government office.

At this time, a personal soldier was reporting to Zhao Hu.

"Commander-in-chief, during this attack on Qingping County, we obtained 17 oxen, 35 pigs, a number of chickens, ducks, and geese, 7,000 kilograms of rice, and about 2,000 kilograms of other grain and vegetables."

Zhao Hu nodded.

In this famine year, even in a county, this is probably all the food they have. This was probably what he expected.

He put down the gavel and asked the soldier:

"Where are the horses, weapons and armor?"

These are all things he is very concerned about.

Food is certainly important, but in these chaotic times, weapons, armor and horses are equally important.

Without these things, once Zhiyuan Prefecture made up its mind, it would send troops to attack him.

Even if there is a lot of food here, he can't defend it.

What's more, with the way they fight, it is impossible for them to hold one place.

If you do so, you will inevitably face endless encirclement and suppression.

His strategy was to conquer one place and then move to another.

If a large number of soldiers came to encircle and suppress them, they would hide in a place on the mountain that is easy to defend.

The world is in chaos now, and it is impossible for the Daqian court to mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time to just loot a few counties when their specific locations are still unknown.

They needed more sophisticated weapons and would move to another place after attacking one place.

As long as they have sufficiently sophisticated weapons and equipment, they will be able to capture more counties or even entire prefectures.

In this way, there will be no shortage of food.

The personal soldier flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand for a while and then answered Zhao Hu's question.

“In reply to the commander, we have seized twelve horses, eleven intact chain mails, twenty-seven intact rattan armors, and one hundred and nine intact leather armors.

Spears, long swords, machetes and other weapons, a total of 275. "

As soon as the personal soldier finished speaking, Zhao Hu was stunned:
"so little??".

The soldier bowed and replied:

“That’s true, according to the captured Qu Bing.

The armies of the three kings of our Tianxing Army invaded Luzhou, Qizhou and Qingzhou, and the imperial army was defeated.

The Daqian court urgently mobilized troops from various provinces and prefectures, and a few months ago, half of the troops stationed in Quli, Qingping County were transferred.

Almost all the best war horses were transferred away.

Most of the black iron heavy armor, chain mail, various equipment and weapons were taken away.

We searched all the dark rooms in Qingping County, but we couldn't find many weapons or armor."

After hearing the report, Zhao Hu pondered for a moment.

No wonder, no wonder after they entered Qingping County, they found that more than half of the Qu soldiers here were gone.

No wonder the commander Qu had no heavy black iron armor, only chain mail.

They took it down without much effort.

"Have you found out who the three kings are? Is there any news about our king?" Zhao Hu asked.

"That prisoner is just a soldier. He knows nothing about this." The guard bowed and replied.

Zhao Hu asked for some other information, then waved his hand and asked the soldier to leave.

It seems that although the county town was captured this time, the gains were not as much as expected.

War horses, armor, and other things they needed most were all taken away by the imperial court, so they didn't gain much.

It wasn't even enough for him to equip his personal soldiers.

Although there was some grain, Qingping County was not a big county, and the captured grain would not be enough to feed his two thousand soldiers for many days.

Some gold, silver and jewelry were found in the secret room of the county government office.

However, it is currently difficult for a rebellious army like his to exchange these things for food.

In this chaotic world, except for those continents completely occupied by the Tianxing Army, almost no one dared to bring food or armor to trade with them.

If discovered by the Daqian court, the entire nine generations of the clan would be executed.

It seems that we still have to continue to find ways to conquer a sufficiently wealthy county.

As long as we capture a county town like this, we can get enough food and weapons.

They could then recruit more refugees to serve as pawns and hold out in the mountains for a while, and when the king conquers Youzhou, they could join up with the king.

Otherwise, if a brigade waited until the imperial court had time to wipe them out, they would have no chance of survival even if they hid in the mountains.
