"Alright, if you don't want to pay or pay, then is there a problem with having some strength?”
"Contribution? What do you mean?"
"I'll go to the Wudu Prefecture and have a talk with the Mayor Sun Bo. I'll ask him for some food and have your clansmen transport it for me.”Ma Feng said.
"Transport food? That wouldn't do. The Di Dao was so chaotic. What if they met Han Sui's army? I can't let my clansmen take the risk."
"Then we don't need to transport it to Di Dao. We can transport it to Zhang County, and I'll bring someone to get it myself.”
"That's possible, but don't you think it's a little too much to ask my clansmen to work for nothing?”Lei Bo said with a smile.
As Lei Bo spoke, he kept rubbing his two fingers. His meaning was very obvious. He wanted to ask Ma Feng for some benefits.
Ma Feng was so angry that he laughed.
"How about this, Uncle? I won't guard Di Dao anymore. I'll go back and lead the army to Wudu County. If Han Sui comes, I can go to Hanzhong. If Hanzhong doesn't work, I'll go to Chengdu.”
"Hey, hey, Uncle is just joking with you. How can I be so ignorant in such a critical situation? Go to hell. Leave the matter of transporting the food to me.”
After Lei Bo agreed to transport the grain, Ma Feng quickly came to Xiabian.
Find Sun Bo, the prefect of Wudu.
"Mayor Sun, what do you think about the food I mentioned just now?”Ma Feng asked.
Sun Bo was a middle-aged man in his forties.
While pinching his beard, he frowned." Commandant Ma, I know I've done a lot for the Great Han, but it's really difficult to get food. Wudu County doesn't have much food either."”
"How much is not too much? How much could he take out? Could Governor Sun give an accurate number?”Ma Feng frowned and asked.
"This…this, it might be a few hundred catties, but we have to eat it ourselves. We can't give it to you.”
Ma Feng was so angry that he almost drew his sword and cut this grandson.
A few hundred catties? Who was lying?
When Ma Feng arrived, he had already asked around.
This autumn, Wudu Prefecture was a bumper harvest year. The local people said that the government had at least two warehouses of stock. But to hell with it.
"Governor Sun, I wonder how many guards are there in Xiabian?”Ma Feng asked.
"Hmm? I just recruited 2,000 soldiers after the last defeat. I plan to recruit more soldiers tomorrow spring. At that time, I will definitely help Commandant Ma.”
Who would believe you? Just by looking at Sun Bo's expression, he knew that he was scared out of his wits by Han Sui. It would be good if he didn't run away.
"Governor Sun, do you know about the Xianling Qiang in Lintao County?”
"I know."
"The leader of the Xianling Qiang, Lei Bo, is my uncle. When he came, he said that if you don't want to give me the grain, then bring someone to get it.”
"Come and get it yourself? Wouldn't that be a rebellion? How can this be?"
"Hmph, revolt? Wasn't the rebellion of the Qiang people as simple as eating and drinking? Are you trying to force the Xianling Qiang to join Han Sui's rebel army? When the time comes, I'll hang your head on the city gate tower?”Ma Feng asked coldly.
"What do you mean? Do you also want to join Han Sui's rebel army?”Sun Bo was so frightened that he sat up from his chair.
"Governor Sun, this is up to you. You give me food and I fight. If I win, you can live. If my soldiers starve, then who knows what will happen.
I'll give you three days. If you don't transport the 20,000 catties of grain to Lintao County, you'll have to bear the consequences.”
After Ma Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Sun Bo a chance to speak at all.
Would Sun Bo dare to touch Ma Feng? He really didn't dare. Would he dare not give them food? He didn't dare to either because he was afraid of death.
Three days later, 10,000 catties of grain were transported to Lintao County.
Then, the Xianling Qiang would be responsible for transporting them to Zhang County.
Ma Feng did not stay in Lintao County. He had to return to Di Dao to arrange for people to get food, so he naturally could not delay.
However, before he left, he happily extorted two thousand Qiang Cavalry from Lei Bo.
Lei Ao was still in charge of leading these two thousand Qiang Cavalry.
Ma Feng already had 5,000 Qiang cavalrymen under him, all sponsored by Lei Bo.
Lei Bo looked very stingy, but the Qiang cavalrymen who sponsored Ma Feng were all strong men and elites.
On the way back to Di Dao, Ma Feng looked at the refugees in twos and threes and sighed.
When they were about to reach Di Dao, they encountered a large group of people. There were more than 200 people in total, and most of them were young and middle-aged.
This piqued Ma Feng's curiosity.
Because those who fled to Di Dao were basically the old, weak, women, and children, and the young and middle-aged were all pulled by Han Sui to be able-bodied men.
Among this batch of people, there were more than 200 people, and more than 100 of them were young and middle-aged.
Ma Feng rode his horse to the side of this group of people and stopped.
These people thought that Ma Feng was Han Sui's men. Most of them drew their knives and looked at Ma Feng's group warily, ready to fight at any moment.
