Chapter 1503: The 193rd Battle of Han Banner World 7

On the road leading to Jinyang, a cavalry team of thousands of people was slowly moving forward. The horseshoes hit the cement ground, making a crisp sound. In the center of the cavalry was a golden carriage. , eight solid-colored tall horses pulled an extremely huge carriage forward slowly.

This is the chariot of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty accepted the appointment of the Great Council and became the supreme commander of the general attack on Qin. The chariot set off from Jicheng and headed towards Jinyang.

This huge carriage made Gao Yuan feel very inconvenient. Originally, he planned to set off from Jicheng in a light carriage, so that he could reach the front line in a few days. Even the Great Council and the Political Affairs Hall felt that this was absolutely impossible. The emperor naturally had to have the majesty of the emperor, and this trip was almost sideways. Across the entire Han Kingdom, it was the time when the Han Dynasty showed its strength to its subjects. So such a dazzling, somewhat exaggerated and huge carriage was released.

Even if it is a selection of eight famous prairie horses, it is still very difficult to drag such a carriage that is like a house. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty has made a qualitative leap in the manufacturing technology of carriages. The emergence of rubber tires and the large-scale use of wheel axles and balls have greatly reduced the pressure on cars.

Gao Yuan only stayed in the car for a few days before he couldn't hold himself back any longer. After leaving Tianhe County, they left behind the escorts and the dazzling carriage, and only took Yang Dasha with them. The two of them wore casual clothes and walked in front of the cavalry.

Ever since he entered Jinyang County, Gao Yuan's face has not looked good. Compared with other places, Jinyang looks much more desolate. It should have been a lush green crop field, with some yellow and green. It was all deserted.

"I'm afraid Jinyang won't have much harvest after autumn this year!" Yang Dasha, who was born in a farmer's family, shook his head and said: "How could it be like this? Although Jinyang has been fighting for a long time, the war has ended not long ago. Even if it’s replanting, it won’t be like this!”

Gao Yuan snorted and remained silent. Although Han Dynasty's commerce is now developed, it is based on agriculture. Gao Yuan has not forgotten this. "Have you noticed that along the way, even if you occasionally see people working in the fields, they are mostly old, weak, women and children, and the young and strong are basically invisible. Where did they go?"

Yang Dasha shook his head.

"Your Majesty. Is there an old farmer in front who is not tending the seedlings? Let's go and ask and we will find out."

The two rode their horses forward for a while, then turned over and dismounted. An old farmer from the Tian family straightened up and looked at the two of them.

"Old man, you are tending the seedlings!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Are you two guests going to Jinyang City?" The old farmer smiled and greeted him, "But we are tired from walking and thirsty. I have some herbal tea here. Can you two drink some to quench your thirst?"

Lift up a large teapot on the ground.

He poured water into the bowl and handed it to Gao Yuan. Yang Dasha took the bowl first and drank it all in one gulp. "Exciting!" he laughed.

The old man didn't notice this detail. He took the bowl from Yang Dasha, filled it up and handed it to Gao Yuan.

"How did the old man know that we were going to Jinyang?" Gao Yuan took the bowl, but did not drink it immediately, but asked with a smile.

"Aren't you running to Jinyang City now?" The old man smiled and sat on the field ridge, "It's easy to make money there!"

"How did the old man know that Jinyang City is easy to make money?" Gao Yuan asked, taking a sip of tea and sitting next to the old man.

"Because I just came back from Jinyang City!" The old man said with a smile: "Aren't we big men preparing to attack Daqin now? Hundreds of thousands of troops from the First Military Region have gathered in Jinyang City. Go there now. Do whatever you want. , it’s better than digging for food in the fields.”

Gao Yuan tilted his head and looked at the old man. I was very surprised, how could an old farmer know so many things? "How did your old man know?"

"My son-in-law is a great general. He leads tens of thousands of people!" The old man stroked his beard and said with great pride.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan and Yang Dasha were really stupid. With tens of thousands of people, they were at least a division commander, but the father-in-law of a division commander was actually farming?

"It's really disrespectful." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "I wonder who your son-in-law is. I have traveled all over the country and am quite familiar with the generals in the Han army. I wonder if I know your son-in-law?"

"His name is Jiang Fu." The old man said proudly.

Jiang Fu? Gao Yuan was a little confused. Yang Dasha leaned into his ear and said, "The newly mentioned person was originally a battalion commander. This time when the Qin army came, all the outposts were lost. Jiang Fu led a battalion to guard the The most advanced position not only held the fort, but nearly 300 soldiers of the last battalion survived. The 20th Army suffered serious casualties. This Jiang Fuke became the benchmark for the First Military Region. Xu Yuan was particularly simple. ”

"So that's it." Gao Yuan nodded.

"Jiang Fu is the leader of a division, why do you still have to do such heavy work?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Well, I have been doing farm work all my life. How can I have time for leisure? Besides, I see the situation today. In the second half of the year, I am afraid that the price of food will skyrocket. Your guest has also seen this along the way. The fields are all deserted.”

"Yeah, it's all gone. How could this happen?" Gao Yuanshen felt the same way.

"How can it not be famine? Previously, the Qin people came over, with an army of hundreds of thousands, and everything was destroyed. Later, although the Qin people were beaten away, the land was also ruined. The water conservancy facilities that Jinyang finally built were They were all destroyed. There was still time to replant, but we big guys are going to counterattack. These big guys are busy making money. They all think that if they make money, they can buy food then, but I listen to my son-in-law. He said, our Han Dynasty has just captured the State of Chu. The State of Chu has been beaten into chaos, and we need to provide disaster relief. Next, we will attack the State of Qin. I heard that the State of Qin is much worse than the State of Chu. Most of the people are For those who can’t afford food, our emperor will definitely provide relief when the time comes. There are so many places in the world that need relief and food, and it all depends on us men. If the food prices don’t skyrocket by then, I’m afraid that the money we make will still be lost. It’s not enough to buy grain!” The old man shook his head repeatedly, “My land was originally rented to people for farming, but now they no longer rent it and go to the city to make money. The old man has been digging for food in the field all his life. It can be seen that I don’t want the fields to be left barren, so I brought the old lady back to plant some seedlings. I’ll harvest whatever I can after autumn!”

Gao Yuan nodded, turned around and said to Yang Dasha: "Look, an ordinary old man understands the truth. Our officials in Jinyang don't understand. These fields are all abandoned. It's all the responsibility of the local officials. After the autumn, the common people If there is a shortage of food, they will suffer.”

Yang Dasha whispered: "I'm afraid it's not all the fault of the local officials. Commander Xu is responsible for the general offensive, which will inevitably force all officials to shift their focus to military affairs. Besides, this is military merit, and the local officials are the focus." It’s also conceivable to pay attention to that end.”

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, the old man said doubtfully: "From the tone of your voice, you must be officials, right?"

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, we are also official people. Thank you for the tea, old man. Say goodbye. Dasha!"

Yang Dasha took out a ten-yuan note from his arms knowingly, "Old man, this is your tea money."

The old man chuckled: "It's just a bowl of water. Is it worth paying for it? The old man is not short of money, so I don't need it."

"Old man, this is money. Just accept it. When you see Jiang Fu in the future, tell him that this money was given to you by a man named Gao Yuan." Gao Yuan laughed and walked onto the roadbed, got on his horse, and met Yang Dasha. He galloped away on horseback.

Looking at the two people's backs, the old man held the ten-yuan note with some depression, "I really don't want your money? Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, this name sounds so familiar!"

Until half a day later. The old man who had finished his work and returned home saw the huge cavalry team, the dazzling carriage and the yellow dragon flag flying high on the road. The old man suddenly woke up, Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan, isn't that the name of the Han emperor that his son-in-law told him?

Holding the ten-yuan note in his hand and looking at the huge carriage on the road, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Of course he knew that there was no such person in the carriage at the moment, but this did not hinder his respect for that person.

The two cavalry galloped into Jinyang City. As the old man said, there were crowds of people everywhere inside and outside the city. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed here. Countless supplies were piled up like mountains. There were indeed too many work opportunities. , making money is also very easy.

"Go to Xu Yuan's headquarters." Gao Yuan said.

Yang Dasha took the lead and walked all the way to Xu Yuan's Central Command of the First Military Region. When he saw Gao Yuan suddenly appearing in front of him, Xu Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. The scouts had been reporting back, and the emperor's journey still took a long time. Only then could he enter Jinyang City, why did the emperor appear in front of him now?

"Your Majesty!" he shouted.

Gao Yuan nodded solemnly, "Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen stay, the rest go out and call me the Jinyang County Sheriff."

Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen looked at each other and saw something bad in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, something strange has just happened in the Qin State. We had already sent Pegasus to inform you, but now it seems that we may have missed you on the way." Ye Zhen broke the silence in the room with a smile. He said to Gao Yuan, who was sitting behind the big case with a sullen face.

"What's strange?" Gao Yuan asked with a cold face.

"Qin Wangchan is located in Lu Chao, and Lu Chao announced that he was promoted to emperor the next day and was the first emperor of Qin!" Ye Zhen laughed.

"If God wants to destroy him, he must first make him crazy. There is nothing funny about a guy who is about to go crazy." Gao Yuan snorted. "If he wants to have a good time, let him live it. Is it possible that when he becomes emperor, our hundreds of thousands of troops will stop moving forward?"

"There is indeed no suspense in this battle." Ye Zhen said with a smile, but in his heart he shouted that something was wrong. What on earth happened to anger the emperor?

"Isn't the Jinyang County Sheriff here yet?" Gao Yuan shouted angrily.

Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan looked at each other, and now they can roughly guess that this matter is probably related to the Jinyang County Sheriff, but they are probably not able to escape the relationship.

(I am really busy now. Firstly, the new semester has started and I have been checking the following schools. Secondly, I have just taken over the post of physical education researcher and will soon hold the district's primary and secondary school basketball league and football league. Just the competition rules. Things like the order book keep me very busy. Thirdly, I Am the King will be finished soon. The Gunner is indeed preparing a new book. The new and old books are ready to be seamlessly connected, so I can only update one chapter in a day. This is still I barely finished it until early in the morning every day, so please forgive me!

Finally, I would like to recommend my good friend Ying Guang's new book "The Song of Iron-Blooded Qin". It has beautiful writing and a passionate plot. The only drawback is that it is a little short, with only 300,000 or 400,000 words. But you can keep it and kill it when it is fat, hahaha! (To be continued.)
