Chapter 223: Wei Xikang Goes to Guangwu

Thus, the entire Guangwu Jun fell into the hands of Yangguangzhai.

And at this moment, Wei Xikang was walking with difficulty on the official road, and the soldiers and Vice General following behind him were also in a dejected state.

It had been some time since Wei Xikang came out of the front line to borrow grain. During this period, he had run through four Juns except for Guangwu Jun and Anbei Jun.

Because his status was placed there, the Prefects welcomed him very warmly wherever he went. Of course, he didn't care whether such enthusiasm was superficial or sincere.

The purpose of his trip was to borrow grain, but when he said it, the scene immediately became different.

The Prefect of Lincuan Jun was the most exaggerated, kneeling on the ground with a nose and tears, holding Wei Xikang's hand to go to the street, indicating that the commoners had nothing to eat, and everyone's life was not easy now.

The implication was: there is no grain, and I have no way!

Wei Xikang was helpless. He saw it when he came; there were many commoners eating tree bark and Guanyin soil outside the city, which showed that the situation was really not optimistic.

Wei Xikang didn't give up even if he couldn't borrow it here, and led his troops to continue to other Juns, but the Prefect of Shuo Fang Jun did the opposite.

He asked Wei Xikang for the Imperial Court's salary and military pay, and indicated that he was not easy, as the soldiers below had a lot of opinions because military pay had not been issued for so long.

Wei Xikang dared not take this word even more. Where did he have money to pay military pay and salary?

The following two Prefects were the same, anyway, it was nothing more than that set of crying poor, and even used wild vegetables to entertain Wei Xikang, indicating that he had not embezzled money and grain.

As for whether they were inconsistent in words and deeds, Wei Xikang had no heart to investigate. After all, he didn't have time to investigate, and the front line was still waiting for grain to cook!

It was just that he hadn't borrowed any grain after running through four Juns, which made him fall into deep confusion.

"Your Highness, there is still Guangwu Jun that we haven't been to!" The Vice General bowed to Wei Xikang cautiously.

Wei Xikang was on horseback, and only gradually came back to his senses when he heard the three words "Guangwu Jun."

"Guangwu Jun?"

They had naturally heard about Yangguangzhai defeating the ten thousand Jun soldiers during this period, and even learned about Yangguangzhai besieging Guangwu City.

It was just...

Would Yangguangzhai really have grain?

The Imperial Court ordered restrictions, and grain could not pass through the Guansong Ridge at all. Yangguangzhai itself was probably struggling.

"Let's not go. There is no grain in the other Juns, so Guangwu Jun should not be much better!" Wei Xikang shook his head. He, who never easily hung emotions on his face, had deep exhaustion and disappointment at this moment.

The Vice General still wanted to struggle a bit, gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Highness, we have heard all the way that Yangguangzhai is still selling that affordable grain. Perhaps they have a way?"

The Vice General had seen the development of Yangguangzhai before, so he always had an inexplicable confidence in the other party.

Wei Xikang did not respond immediately when he heard this, but was thinking about the feasibility of it.

The front line could not be delayed now, and he definitely couldn't go back empty-handed. At the very least, he had to let the soldiers see hope.

Otherwise, if military morale was shaken, they would be in chaos before the Xiongnu even took action.

He also didn't expect that his face as the Crown Prince couldn't even borrow some grain; now it was really a case of strength being superior to status!

"Fine! We have to pass by anyway, let's go see!" Wei Xikang made up his mind, but in his own view, borrowing grain was mostly unlikely to succeed; going there was just to catch up with the Great Chief Jiang.

"Okay!"

The Vice General responded happily, joy appearing on his face.

Wei Xikang laughed dumbly when he saw the other party's performance: "Why are you so happy?"

"I know a brother in Yangguangzhai, maybe he can help us speak!" What the Vice General said was naturally Jiang Ze, who had met each other once before, and the impression of each other was not bad.

"Is that so? Then it depends on you!"

Wei Xikang smiled and didn't say that he had once stayed in Yangguangzhai.

Soon the team came to Panjiang City. After some inquiries, they learned that the main force of Yangguangzhai was now around Guangwu City.

Because the spread of information was very slow, the bandits guarding the other cities didn't know that Guangwu City had been taken down at this moment, and Wei Xikang's group naturally didn't know either.

It took another day of rushing, and Wei Xikang finally arrived at Guangwu City.

"I didn't expect Great Chief Jiang to be so powerful, taking Guangwu City without any effort!" Wei Xikang looked at the city wall of Guangwu City with great emotion. He had just received the news early in the morning.

This news made him not know whether to be happy or sad. On one hand, he admired the Great Chief's courage and resourcefulness; on the other hand, he had deep doubts about the Da Qian army. Were they really so vulnerable?

With complex thoughts, Wei Xikang came to the city gate.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The bandits at the city gate stopped them all, and even showed their weapons in the first place.

Because Wei Xikang's group were all holding weapons and wearing armor, they looked like regular troops!

Everyone was not surprised by this scene. After all, such things would happen every time they passed a city, which was enough to see the discipline of Yangguangzhai.

"I have something to find your Great Chief! Trouble this brother to report!" Wei Xikang spoke very politely, looking at the serious-looking bandit, and even missed the days in Yangguangzhai.

"Who are you? What are you looking for our Great Chief for?"

The bandits were not so easy to fool. Just because someone came and said they wanted to find the Great Chief, I would go and report for you?

"Just say it's the teacher who used to be on Lianhuan Shan. Great Chief Jiang will definitely see me!" Wei Xikang actually wanted to say one more sentence: You look very unfamiliar, I'm afraid you are a newcomer!

Yangguangzhai started on Lianhuan Shan. Basically, all the brothers in the bandit den knew this point, and even the latecomers had heard of this history.

So when Wei Xikang said this, the bandit in front of him hesitated.

"Then... then you wait here, I'll go and report for you!"

"Okay!"

Wei Xikang didn't know why, but after coming to Guangwu Jun, seeing the commoners' faces filled with bright smiles would make him briefly forget those troubles.

Such as the war at the border, the suffering of the commoners, and even the past events in the capital!

The passing commoners had no time to pay attention to Wei Xikang's group. Everyone was in a hurry, as if their lives were very fulfilling.

After layers of reporting by the bandits, the news finally reached Jiang Jinshi's ears.

"Great Chief! A small team came outside the city, all wearing armor, saying they want to find you!"

"Who is it?" Jiang Jinshi didn't even lift his head, continuing to calculate the monthly income and expenditure with Li Xinyue.

"Said it's the teacher who used to be on Lianhuan Shan!"

"Eh! Old Wei?" Jiang Jinshi looked up and looked at Li Xinyue.

Li Xinyue was suspicious: "Why is he back? Is the war on the front line over?"

Jiang Jinshi shook his head: "Probably not. Wang Hou has people guarding Anbei Jun; no news has been received for the time being!" ===== CHAPTER 224 =====
