Chapter 3095 Chapter 3097 [Draw the bottom of the pot]

  Xiang Nan also knew that these crow soldiers were inhumane.

   It is not a solution for the common people not to pay the grain now. If it is really too late to collect food, these crow soldiers will really kill people.

  Because they could not complete the task of requisitioning food, they would inevitably die when they went back to see Commander Liu.

   At that time, rather than being beaten to death themselves, they are more likely to jump over the wall in a hurry and pull a few people behind.

   But Xiang Nan couldn't really kill Platoon Leader Yang, because if they killed them, the Zhensong Army would send other people. At that time, their methods will be more drastic.

  So Xiang Nan called Bai Jiaxuan, Lu Zilin, Mr. Leng and others, and persuaded them to help Tian Fuxian collect food.

"The Crow Soldiers are a bunch of beasts, they will really jump over the wall if they are in a hurry." He looked at the crowd and said, "As for the beasts, if we can't beat them to death with a stick and can't run away, we can only coax them first. Otherwise, it will really kill people.”

  Bai Jiaxuan, Lu Zilin, Mr. Leng and others nodded after listening.

   Then Xiang Nan, Bai Jiaxuan, and Lu Zilin took the lead to hand over the food.

  When the villagers saw that Xiang Nan and the others had handed in the food, they naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly handed in the food.

  Tian Fuxian escaped a catastrophe, so he was very grateful to Xiang Nan, so he came to the temple to thank him.

  If Xiang Nan hadn't taken the lead in handing over the food, his life might be in jeopardy this time.

   "You don't need to thank me, I'm also afraid that those crow soldiers will be pushed into a hurry. Will they jump over the wall in a hurry and harm our old folks." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

   "Even so, I still thank you." Tian Fuxian still said.

  In any case, Xiang Nan saved his life.

  …

   "Heiwa~" After Tian Fuxian left, Xiang Nan was reading scriptures when he heard someone talking.

  Xiang Nan looked up and saw that it was Lu Zhaopeng. He couldn't help being taken aback, and then smiled, "It's you, Principal Lu, you are really a rare visitor. It's your first time to come to my place."

   "No, I've been here before." Lu Zhaopeng smiled and said.

  When the temple was first completed, he was only in his teens. At that time, he had no faith, so he still entered the temple.

   "Come in and have a seat." Xiang Nan stood up and invited, and then poured a cup of tea, "You don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, so feel free to talk about it."

   "No, just thank you for taking the lead in handing over the food, so as not to make it difficult for me to do it." Lu Zhaopeng explained.

   "It's a trivial matter, I'm also afraid that those crow soldiers will really jump over the wall in a hurry. At that time, it won't be good to hurt anyone." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

   Lu Zhaopeng nodded, "Yes, there are news from other villages. Because the people didn't pay the food, the crow soldiers directly searched the houses, beat and cursed people, and even women were insulted."

   "These bastards!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but slap the table when he heard it.

   "Fortunately, we have you in our village. Those crow soldiers dare not break in. Otherwise, the people in our village will suffer too." Lu Zhaopeng said again.

"It's nothing. I only hate that I have limited abilities and can only guard this small area." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "If I'm really a god, I can blow away all the 100,000 crow soldiers with one breath, that would be great Woolen cloth."

   "You have done a very good job." Lu Zhaopeng said admiringly.

  Xiang Nan can at least guard one side of the people, unlike him, he has no good idea to deal with these soldiers.

   "By the way, last November, you said that the crow soldiers would come, how did you know?" He asked curiously again.

  This news, they only found out in March this year. But Xiang Nan started warning half a year in advance, which is really not easy. He still hasn't figured out where Xiang Nan received the news.

  Of course, as a materialist with faith, he never believes in any prophets, ghosts and gods.

   "The secrets of the sky must not be leaked, the mountain people have their own clever plans." Xiang Nan waved his hands.

  He didn't want to play tricks in front of Lu Zhaopeng, but he also didn't want to give away his cards.

   "Okay." Lu Zhaopeng nodded. Since Xiang Nan refused to say anything, he couldn't force him, "That's okay, I'll go first."

"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled, and suddenly said, "Zhaopeng, you have been educated in the city, and you are a learned person. Let me ask you, if, I mean, if Blind Liu was assassinated, what do you think?" Will it solve the siege of Xi'an city?"

  Lu Zhaopeng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "No, Blind Liu can't die. Once Blind Liu dies, hundreds of thousands of crow soldiers will really become bandits."

   Liu Xiazi still wants to be a high-ranking official in Sanqin anyway, and he still has certain political ambitions, so he will restrain his subordinates, not to do too much to the people, and he wants to show some sympathy.

  But his subordinates are not as enlightened as he is. They are all bandits, rogues, and robbers. Without the restraint of Blind Liu, they will become more brutal, bloodthirsty, and inhuman.

  By that time, as soon as hundreds of thousands of bandits wreak havoc in the land of Sanqin, wherever they go, there will be fields filled with bones, blood flowing like rivers, and the people will be miserable.

   "Then if, I mean, if the arsenal of the crow soldiers is blown up, can the situation be eased?" Xiang Nan asked again.

  Lu Zhaopeng thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine. But can it blow up?"

  The Zhensong Army does not have its own arsenal, and all ammunition must be allocated or purchased, and this takes time. Therefore, bombing the arsenal can indeed weaken the strength of the Zhensong army and relieve the pressure on the defenders in the city.

   "There is still one in a thousand miles." Xiang Nan smiled and said, making up his mind to blow up the arsenal.

  …

  The reason why Xiang Nan wanted to blow up the arsenal of the Zhensong Army was because he knew that although the villagers had handed over the food, they barely survived.

  Zhen Song Army besieged Xi'an for eight months.

  Eight months, the food and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops is definitely not a small amount. This time, a bucket of grain was handed over, which could not satisfy their appetite at all.

  They will continue to collect and rob food until the people's homes are emptied. It is in line with the sentence in "On the Passing of the Qin Dynasty", "If you use the land to serve the Qin Dynasty, you still hold the salary to put out the fire. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished."

  So in order to solve this problem, the best way is to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

   Platoon Leader Yang was able to be arrogant and domineering in Bailuyuan because of the hundreds of thousands of Zhensong troops behind him; while the Zhensong army dared to besiege Xi'an City, it was backed by the Zhili warlord Wu Peifu.

  But Wu Peifu is now fighting the Northern Expedition. In order to defend his territory, his food, ammunition, and soldiers were naturally sent to the south first, so he ignored the Zhensong army.

  So as long as the arsenal of the Zhensong Army is blown up, it can lose its vitality.

   At that time, the hundreds of thousands of Zhensong troops will be out of weapons and ammunition, and without Wu Peifu's timely replenishment, they will only be in a situation where they will have no ammunition available.

   And once they run out of ammunition, the long guns in their hands are not as good as fire sticks, and the cannons are not as good as gasoline cans.

  That's why Xiang Nan decided to blow up the arsenal of the Song Army.

  In the evening, Xiang Nan went down to the Yuan, performed his lightness kung fu, all the way to Chang'an County outside Xi'an City, thirty miles away, and sneaked into the armory of the Zhensong Army.
