Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 142 A great victory

On Yun Chu's side, after Xu Sen left, Yun Chu led a thousand people out of the warehouse.

"Those who know how to farm, please step forward."

Some questions were counted, such as whether one can farm or not.

Among a thousand people, 70 percent can farm because they all farmed at home before joining the army.

I joined the army because of military service.

"Those who can read take one step further."

There are only eleven people out of a thousand who can read. Among these eleven people, except Qiu Yanjiang, the remaining ten people only know some simple words, and the number of words they know is not many.

"Is there anyone who can cook?"

"Can you be a bricklayer?"

After counting these questions one by one, Yun Chu selected one hundred people.

Qiu Yanjiang is a general, and Yun Chu really wants to detain him. However, if the other people are taken away for interrogation, Qiu Yanjiang will also be exposed.

It would be bad if King Bo'an held him accountable then.

It would be better to leave Qiu Yanjiang to King Bo'an to deal with.

When it was almost dawn, Xu Sen brought his men to the village.

"Greetings, Miss Li. My name is Yin Yiyun, and I am a lieutenant. I wonder where the rebel army is being held?"

"Meet Captain Yin. He is being held in the warehouse. Please come this way." Yun Chu led his men to the warehouse.

Seeing the 1,000 people tied up, Yin Yiyun said, "Miss Li, the prince has agreed to the reward you asked for. You can select 100 people."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." Yun Chu directly pulled out the one hundred selected people.

Yin Yiyun took a quick look and saw that there were people of all shapes and sizes. He then looked at the remaining 900 people and realized that Miss Li had picked the worst of the worst.

"Captain Yin, this man is Qiu Yanjiang, and he is a famous general."

Yin Yiyun was shocked when he heard Qiu Yanjiang's name!

Qiu Yanjiang has been caught, this Miss Li is really powerful.

"I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not."

"You ask."

"How did Miss Li catch them?"

"The incense I used was homemade." Yun Chu said, "Captain Yin, would you like to buy some? It's very effective against enemies."

“No, no.” Yin Yiyun waved his hand and then said, “Then Miss Li, I will take these people away.”

"Okay, you can take it away."

Yin Yiyun escorted the nine hundred people away.

As soon as Yin Yiyun left, Yun Chu untied the 100 people he had picked out and said, "From now on, you are no longer soldiers, but farmhands of my farm."

"You don't have to worry about food, clothing, and household registration. As long as you behave well, you can settle down and start a career." Yun Chu told them about some of the things they needed to do on the farm.

After hearing that they could receive 800 wen as salary every month and have a day off every month, these people started talking about it.

In the past, farmhands only earned 600 coins per month. In recent years, the village has developed well, so the wages have also increased.

A team leader like a farmhand could receive 1,300 wen per month.

These team leaders are those who have good skills and work hard and have been promoted to the position of team leader.

"Don't even think about running away. If you run away, you will be penniless, without food, and without a household registration. How can you expect to return to the military camp?"

Yun Chu began to PAU these soldiers, and after giving them a long lecture, Yun Chu let the team leaders take their men away.

As the population increased, there were not enough houses, so Xu Qing asked the bricklayers he had trained to start building houses.

A few hours later, Yin Yiyun returned to Anyi City with nine hundred people.

Take Qiu Yanjiang to see King Bo'an.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, this person is Qiu Yanjiang."

Prince Boan looked at the kneeling Qiu Yanjiang and asked, "Qiu Yanjiang was actually captured by the daughter of the Li family?"

"Didn't you say you were extremely strong? How did you get caught?"

Yin Yiyun reported back: "Miss Li said she used aphrodisiac incense."

Qiu Yanjiang said: "This incense can also make people's limbs weak for twelve hours."

Otherwise, he would have escaped long ago.

"Untie General Qiu quickly."

"General Qiu, you are a capable and wise man. I believe that you know what is orthodox."

"My uncle, the emperor, murdered my father and forged the emperor's will to ascend the throne. He is a traitor."

"Prince Bo'an, there is no need to advise me. The emperor has been very kind to me and I will never forget his kindness. You can kill me or chop me up as you please." It is impossible for him to betray the emperor.

He Guang said angrily: "You are shameless, I will kill you."

"He Guang." King Bo'an called out calmly, "Take him away and lock him up."

It is impossible to kill him, he is a rare talent.

What is more important now is how to deal with the rebel army. The spies have already found out that there are indeed rebel troops attacking from the rear.

Yuan Fei and Hou Mingchun have already led their troops to block the rebel forces in the rear.

The rebel army launched a surprise attack from the rear, and had no idea that Yuan Fei and Hou Mingchun had already laid an ambush.

When they entered the ambush site, countless boulders fell, catching the rebels off guard, and then countless rockets were fired at the dead leaves around the rebels.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the gunpowder buried underground was detonated, and countless rebel soldiers were killed.

"Kill!" Hou Mingchun came out of the woods with his soldiers and started a fight with the rebels.

Five days later, Zheng Ziping and Mou Zhang of the rebel army were captured.

The other soldiers also surrendered.

Bo'an's army won a great victory!

The 20,000-strong rebel army captured more than 17,000 prisoners, who were incorporated into Bo'an's army.

When Qi Gong led the rebel army to Anyi City, they were already surrounded by Bo An's army.

The rear troops of the rebel army were successfully ambushed by soldiers led by the strategist Xue Shi.

Two months later, the rebel army was defeated, Bo'an's army captured more than 50,000 rebel soldiers, and Qi Gong was also captured.

Qiu Kenong fled with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

After the victory, King Bo'an quickly occupied six cities including Bayin City, Shengfeng City, etc. The entire west was under the control of King Bo'an.

However, with the sudden increase of so many soldiers, food became a problem.

There are still more than three months until the autumn harvest.

The people's food was forcibly collected, and their lives became difficult, just when King Boan was in trouble.

Li Zhonglun approached King Bo'an and said that his daughter had food that could be supplied to the military camp.

King Bo'an handed the matter over to Zhuo Xian, the chief clerk, and asked him to find Yun Chu to buy food.

The next day, Zhuo Xian went to Shuiquan Farm.

"Miss Li, I wonder how much food you have?"

"I have millions of dan of grain, and I only charge three hundred coins for one dan." This is equivalent to three coins per pound, which is already very cheap.

"Although these grains of mine are old grains from two or three years ago, they are almost the same as new grains. They are not infested with insects or blackened at all." Yun Chu took Zhuo Xian to the warehouse.

"Zhuo Zhubu casually opened the bag and looked through it."

Zhuo Xian opened a few bags and checked, and found that the grain was indeed similar to new grain, and it didn't look like it was grain from two or three years ago at all.

"Okay, let's buy 4,000 dan of grain first."

"Row."

"Soldiers will arrive tomorrow to deliver food."

"Ok."

"As for the silver, send it to Miss Li tomorrow."

"Okay." This order was worth 1,200 taels of silver. After deducting costs, I might have made a profit of around 800 taels.

The next day, soldiers came to deliver food.

After Xue Shi learned from Zhuo Xian that Yun Chu had so much food, he had an idea.

He went to consult King Boan.

King Bo'an found his officials and discussed the idea with everyone, and everyone agreed that it was feasible.

After the discussion, Xue Shi went to look for Yun Chu.

After listening to what Xue Shi said, Yun Chu said, "Mr. Xue, it was you who came up with the idea, right?"

"It is indeed Xue."

"I am here to repay my benefactor for saving my life. If the prince can ascend the throne, he will definitely not forget Miss Li's provision of food."

"Okay, I agree." Fortune and wealth must be achieved through risk.

After Yun Chu agreed, soldiers came that day and transported away all the food from the ten warehouses.
