    Chapter 676 The Ninth Explosion of Kequan City

    Li Zhen did not intend to attack the Yi people who helped Langqiong Zhao attack Sizhou, but planned to use economic means to blockade the Yi people. In Lu Chengqing's words, this is called subduing the enemy without fighting.

    Lu Chengqing was very efficient in his work. In just one day, he brought together all the merchants in Sizhou. However, the Yi people implemented an economic blockade. On the contrary, they also ordered the Yi people to buy grain and salt at high prices. The price was even higher than that of the Han people.  Twice the size of the residential area.

    Sizhou, Jigong Village among the thirty-six villages of the Yi people.

    Jigong Village is a large village among the thirty-six villages, with a population of more than 20,000. The leader of the village, Amu, is about fifty years old. Because he is a sworn brother with Fengshi, the leader of Langqiongzhao, he has always been close to the imperial court.  Do it right, this time Lang Qiong ordered to attack Sizhou. It was with Amu's help that the thirty-six villages of Yi people in Sizhou united to attack Sizhou together. However, Amu did not expect that Fengshi would actually attack after his defeat.  Regardless of the life and death of his allies, he escaped first, causing the Thirty-sixth Village to suffer heavy losses, including almost all the baggage.

    This time, Amu lost his wife and troops. Not only did he suffer a huge loss, he also offended the government, so Amu was very depressed. However, thinking about it again, the Thirty-sixth Village has always been in harmony with the government, so it doesn't matter if it offends or not.  There was a difference, so Amu was a little relieved. However, in this attack on Yizhou, Amu lost hundreds of men and injured thousands more. Treating the wounded and caring for the dead required a lot of expenses. Although Jigong Village was large,  But Amu has always been greedy for money and stingy, so asking him to spend money for compensation is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

    More importantly, Thirty-Six Village has always been poor, and Amu has no extra money to support the families of the deceased and treat the wounded soldiers.

    At this time, Amu got news that nearby Han businessmen were buying grain and salt at high prices. Amu was very happy when he heard that. If he sold all the grain and salt he had hoarded to the Han people, he could get huge profits by changing hands.  profit.

    Thinking of this, Amu decided to cut down on clothing and diet, and sold all the grain and salt that could be saved in Jigong Village to Han merchants. In order to make more money, Amu even ordered all the Yi people to eat only two meals of gruel a day.

    Amu felt very proud, thinking that the Han people were really stupid. He was short of money, so they gave it to him. After a while, after he had finished his pension, he could use the extra money to buy grain and salt from Han merchants.  This time, I made a lot of money.

    There were other Yi leaders who had the same idea as Amu. Most of the villages in the Thirty-Six Villages sold all the grain and salt accumulated in their villages to Han merchants at high prices.

    Half a month later, almost all the Yi people¡¯s excess grain and salt were bought by Han merchants.

    After almost buying enough food, Lu Chengqing showed his fangs and announced an economic blockade against the Yi people. Food, salt, tea, silk, and ironware were not allowed to flow into the Yi people's areas. Anyone found doing business with the Yi people would be beheaded immediately.  .

    As soon as the news came out, the entire Jiannan Road was shocked. This kind of economic blockade is killing without blood. With such a blockade, both the Langqiong Zhao and the Yi people in Yizhou were plunged into embarrassment in a short period of time.  middle.

    Hearing the news, Amu was confused at the time, thinking that he had fallen into the trap of the Tang people. These Tang people bought his salt and grain at high prices, and it turned out that they wanted to starve his own people to death.

    However, I realized it was too late. Not only had the food and salt in Jigong Village been taken away by the Tang people, but the entire Thirty-six Village might also have run out of food and salt.

    In just half a month, taking advantage of the greed of the Yi people, Han merchants sucked up almost all the grain and salt stored by the Yi people.

    Without food, the Yi people will starve, and without salt, the Yi people will have no strength.

    Amu looked bitter, what should we do?

    It will take some time for the food to be harvested. During this time, you must get food, otherwise the tribe will starve soon.

    Amu immediately asked his ally and sworn brother Fengshi for help. As a result, a lot of Langqiongzhao's grain and salt were also bought by Han merchants. Langqiongzhao couldn't care about himself, so how could he care about Jigong Village?  ?

    Amu was so angry that he scolded Toyoki for his lack of loyalty and became even more dissatisfied with Toyoki.

    Since it was impossible to ask Langqiongzhao for help, Amu was determined to snatch back the grain bought by Han merchants. After some reconnaissance, Amu discovered that there was a lot of grain and salt stored in the nearby Kequan County.

    Amu gritted his teeth and gathered all 5,000 young men. He also united with the other 35 villages, assembled 100,000 young men, and used the darkness to launch a fierce attack on Kequan County.

    This time Amu alsoAfter he went out, he knew that if he couldn't get food and salt, Jigong Village would not be really finished. Instead of starving to death, it would be better to fight to the death!

    On the top of the city of Kequan County, Lou Shide looked at the barbarians rushing up with torches in the distance, with a hint of disdain on his lips. Many of these barbarians didn't even have weapons, and almost no armor. Many of them only held  Farm tools, bows and arrows are just homemade short bows with extremely poor power.

    More importantly, because these Yi people can only drink two meals of gruel a day, they have no strength to fight at all, and even their running speed is very slow. With such morale and combat effectiveness, it is tantamount to trying to capture Kequanxuan City.  Idiot's dream.

    Since the day when the economic blockade against the Yi people was prepared, the entire Yizhou and its affiliated counties had begun to prepare for the battle. Especially Kequan County, because it is closest to the Thirty-sixth Village, it has focused on strengthening its defenses.  At that time, Lou Shide took 3,000 troops and personally took command in Kequan County.

    Seeing the barbarians rushing up, Lou Shide didn't panic. He waited until the barbarians rushed to the city before shouting: "Fire arrows!"

    The next moment, arrows rained down, and the Tang army¡¯s arrows hit the Yi people like a heavy rain and strong wind. These Yi people didn¡¯t even have a pair of armor. How could they stop the Tang army¡¯s bows and arrows?  Almost every arrow can cause damage to the Yi people.

    In a short time, two or three hundred people had been shot to death and wounded. The barbarian offensive was immediately repulsed.

    Lou Shide did not attack, and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. The Yi people rushed a few more times, but ended up leaving thousands of corpses behind, and they did not even touch the edge of Kequan City.

    The battle lasted all night. During this night, the Yi people did not even touch a hair of the Tang army, but they lost thousands of people to the Tang army's bows and arrows. The sky gradually became brighter, and then the Yi people saw that the people of Kequancheng were  The city wall was covered with flags of the Tang army, and countless Tang soldiers in armor stood at the top of the city, waiting in full formation.

    The Yi people couldn't help but secretly groan. It's bad. It seems that the main force of the Tang Army is stationed in Kequan City. The main force of the Tang Army is the most powerful force in the world. Even the soldiers and horses of Lang Qiongzhao are no match. How can a hundred thousand mobs of their own be possible?  Capture Kequan City(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
