Qifeng, on the south side of Daliang, has a flat terrain, fertile land, and well-connected waterways.

Although it is not as good as the capital, it has already possessed the location advantage of forming a metropolis.

The land of Qifeng belonged to Zheng State during the Spring and Autumn Period. Duke Zhuang of Zheng built a granary for storing materials here, supported the army to fight, and named it "Qifeng".

Many people don’t understand the name Qifeng. During the Han Dynasty, he changed his name to Kaifeng because he avoided the taboo of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, and still followed the original meaning of “Qitong’s borders”.

"The land of the open seal, although it does not have the reputation of Daliang, if General Meng wants to raise food, it is correct to come to this place."

After Meng Tian personally wrote a letter to the old man, the old man reciprocated and pointed out the secret of the unsealed seal.

"I was hired to work as a refueler at a grain merchant in Daliang. I heard by chance that his family's turnover granary was set up in Kaifeng."

Following the trembling hands of the older man, a quiet small town appeared before Meng Tian's eyes.

Qifeng is actually not small, much larger than ordinary large counties. Meng Tian only saw ancient metropolis like Daliang and Xianyang, but he felt that Qifeng was a little insignificant.

In my mind, Meng Tian did not have any impression of Qifeng. He roughly remembered that this place seemed to belong to the Zhuxian Town area in later generations.

Yue Fei fought with the Jin soldiers and won a great victory in Zhuxian Town. Later, he had to go back to the court, so Meng Tian had a vague impression.

The grain collection team sent by Meng Tian went to Quyu, Yangwu, Chenliu and other places respectively, and took the elderly who were more cooperative in the camp as interpreters and guides.

Considering the importance of the unsealed land, Meng Tian led the team to come in person.

"Qifeng really collected food, but it solved the urgent need of the Qin army."

Meng Tian waved his hand, Meng Bao and a thousand soldiers slowly stepped forward and went into the city to investigate the situation in the city.

After the Qin army surrounded Daliang, they sent troops to sweep the four dimensions of Daliang. The county magistrate who found the situation was not good, immediately raised the city to surrender.

At this time, the Qin army needed to concentrate its forces to siege Daliang, and did not have enough troops to garrison the city.

The surrendered officials of Wei continued to serve as their original positions. Xianyang would not make any arrangements until the Wei territory was completely pacified.

Meng Tian would not trust these surrendered Wei officials without personally contacting them.

The State of Wei originated from Jin, and Jin experienced the regime of the Six Ministers, and there were many thieves.

Half an hour later, Meng Bao sent someone to send news that there was nothing unusual in the city. It was just that the Qin army suddenly came to the city and the city was a little nervous.

"Enter the city!"

With the order of Meng Tian, ​​the remaining two thousand soldiers took neat steps and slowly approached the Qifeng City Gate.

This time, Meng Tian brought three thousand Qin soldiers.

Without a large army, Meng Tian would not think that the big family that had opened their seal would honestly hand over the food.

The city walls that were open are sturdy and the walls are a little black, making them look very old.

There were originally two thousand Wei troops stationed in the city. When Daliang was in a tight position, the King of Wei ordered the dispatch of troops from the counties around Daliang to take time out the troops that were sealed.

Without the army in hand, the county magistrate who opened the seal could not cook without rice, so he simply surrendered to Qin.

In front of the city gate, Qifeng County Magistrate took the county magistrate and the county magistrate, sorted out their clothes and stood respectfully.

On the city wall, the soldiers brought by Meng Bao were guarding all the important places. The huge formation made the Qifeng County Magistrate very nervous.

Could it be that the Qin people have learned about private complaints?

"I dare to ask General Meng what happened to him?"

The Qifeng County Magistrate was shocked when he saw Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was a general of the army and actually came to Qifeng in person.

"I didn't plan to come at first, but the King of Wei abandoned the 40,000 old and weak Wei State, forcing me to have no choice."

Meng Tian sighed and looked back and nodded in motion.

Several personal soldiers understood and lifted the carriage and helped the older man down from the carriage.

I went out and took a cart with two horses, and the old man or a big girl got into the sedan for the first time. I felt so happy.

The old man walked up with a cane, spitting everywhere, driving the King of Wei away, and explained in detail.

"Now, we are in the Qin camp, and the Qin people lack food. On behalf of 40,000 Wei people, I came to Qifeng to ask for food......"

The older man looked like a beggar and spoke as if he was begging for food.

But can the food of 40,000 people be compared with asking for a bite of food?

"Qifeng doesn't have much food." Qifeng's county magistrate complained while giving way: "Before the Qin army besieged the city, the king, no, the King of Wei has sent people to Qifeng to collect food. At present, the county warehouse of Qifeng is almost over."

After the Qifeng County Magistrate surrendered, he adopted a non-violent and non-cooperating attitude.

The Qin people asked him to delay if he could. If he really couldn't delay, he would handle it.

The King of Wei drove away these old and weak people and gave them to the Qin people. Isn’t it just to consume the Qin people’s food?

Now the Qin army came to collect grain and use the Wei people's grain to support the Wei people. The King of Wei's strategy was useless.

However, the Qin people were really cunning. If they were tortured by the Wei people in the camp and refused in person, they would have to fulfill their reputation of not saving them.

"How much grain is left in the county warehouse that was opened?"

Meng Tian didn't say anything on his face, but he felt a little dissatisfied.

Before coming to Kaifeng, Meng Tian learned about the Kaifeng situation. The Wei army collected grain and had only had time to transport some of it away, and the Qin army had already arrived at the city of Daliang.

The Qifeng County Magistrate complained in person, obviously having the intention of being in Qinying and being in Wei. However, Qifeng did not have blatant anti-Qin behavior, so Meng Tian was not easy to have an attack.

Now everything is the front line, so you can't let chaos in the rear for no reason.

"There are still five hundred stones." The Qifeng County Magistrate replied.

"Five hundred stones?"

Meng Tian's eyes were condensed, and five hundred stones were just the salary of a county magistrate for one year.

The Qifeng County Magistrate means that the grain in the county warehouse is only enough for his salary this year, and he has to ask the Qin people for food next.

"Since the county magistrate said that the county warehouse only has five hundred stones of grain, I believe what you said is true and I won't go to count it."

The Qifeng County Magistrate was afraid that he had prepared a long time ago.

In order to deal with superiors, officials in later generations had already prepared fake account books and other things.

Meng Tian was not interested in dealing with Qifeng County Magistrate and the Censor of Xianyang. He had the censor from Xianyang to deal with these matters.

"The autumn harvest is still six months away. The county warehouse has no food. How can we pay salaries to the county officials?"

The Qifeng County Magistrate was arrogant and frowned, and exaggeratedly screamed.

Since the King of Wei wants to consume the Qin army's food, he also needs to put some effort into it.

"Your question should not be asked to the generals in the battlefield, but to the inner historian of Xianyang."

Meng Tian turned his head, smiled, and stared at Qifeng County Magistrate: "Qifeng County Magistrate, do you want me to write to Xianyang for you to ask for your salary this year?"
