Xiao Zhige rushed around the clock for six days and finally arrived at Yanzhou.
Lieutenant General Qi Wei opened the city gate to welcome him. Seeing him, he immediately knelt down and clasped his fists, and said with great joy: "General, you have finally arrived. The Beimanzi has been screaming outside for four or five days, and we have not opened the city gate to fight!"
The 50,000-strong army of Beidi had been shouting outside the city gate of Yanyun County for several days. Seeing that they would not leave the city to fight, they even pulled out the slaves of the Ye people and slaughtered them before the battle. The Yanzhou soldiers have been suffocated these days. Just remembering the military order, life and death did not open the city gate to meet.
"How about outside the city?" Xiao Zhige waved his hand and motioned for the eight hundred soldiers to follow him into the city.
"The main general is the Sun Wheel King Huyan At, with 50,000 elites, who has been calling for battle outside the city. We attacked twice, but we beat them back."
Xiao Zhige followed him to the city wall, and a few miles outside the city were indeed the barracks of the Beidi Army. Xiao Zhige asked, "Where are Huyanzhi and Huyanxun?"
There are three great warriors in Beidi, the first warrior is Huyanxun, the king of the Great Golden Crow, the second warrior is Huyanat, the king of Sun Wheel, and the third warrior is Huyanzhi, the king of moon rotation. In the past, when the Beidi people fought against Xiao Zhige, the main generals were Huyanxun, the king of the Great Golden Crow, and the deputy generals were either Huyanate or Huyanzhi. To send only one Huyanate to call for battle like today, it can be regarded as maddening.
Based on what Xiao Zhige knew about Huyan Xun, he was not someone who would take the enemy lightly.
"The spies report that Huyanxun and Huyanzhi are in the Beidi Royal Court." Qi Wei said.
"No." Xiao Zhige narrowed his eyes and looked at the Beidi barracks in the distance: "All 50,000 elites came out, and while I was not storming Yanyun County, only one Huyan Art was dispatched to be the commander..."
"Huyanxun must have other plans." Xiao Zhige thought quickly: "The winter food and grass are scarce... Chen Bing 50,000 is not in a hurry... They want to attack the west!"
Xiao Zhige's voice sank, and he hurried down the city wall: "Bring the defense map!"
Qi Wei quickly ordered people to get the defense map, and then called all the generals to come. Xiao Zhige stood in front of the defense map and pondered for a long time, saying: "Hongya County is the weakest."
Yanzhou is divided into three counties, Yanyun County is the largest, bordering on the northern desert, and has always been the front line against Beidi. Hongya County and Changri County are both on the side, with steep terrain, small population, and few troops on defense. If it is a surprise attack, it will be able to cross Hongya County to the rear of Yanyun County. At that time, it will be attacked by the front army, and Yanzhou will be destroyed!
Xiao Zhige looked solemn: "Qi Wei leads the troops out of the city to fight, be sure to hold back Huyan At, don't ask him to go to Hongya for support, and send another 5,000 iron armored troops to Hongya with me!"
Xiao Zhige was extremely powerful in Yanzhou, and the generals had long believed in him and had no objection to his decision. Xiao Zhige quickly changed into his battle armor, and when he saw the empty furoshiki beside him, his eyes couldn't help softening.
Day and night on the road, there is no time to miss the people at home. Only when you stop to eat dry food and drink for a short time, will misses come silently. Putting the furoshiki and the clothes in one place, Xiao Zhige took out the Pisces jade pendant he was wearing next to his body, and then put it on his chest properly before turning around and going out.
Above the city wall, the tooth flag was erected, and the "Ge" flag was fluttering in the wind.
Lieutenant General Qi Wei raised his spear and shouted in a deep voice, "Open the city gate! Fight!"
Behind them, Xiao Zhige led the 5,000-strong iron-clad army, quietly heading towards Hongya to kill Hu Yanxun.
***
On March 20, good news came from Yanzhou.
Xiao Zhige, the king of the Northern War, saw through Bei Di's conspiracy and led the 5,000-strong iron armored army to intercept Huyanxun, the king of the Great Golden Crow. The two sides met in the Red Cliff and Chimu Ridge, and fought fiercely in the mountains for ten days.
At the same time, the 50,000 Beidi army of Yanyun County was defeated and evacuated from Yanyun County.
Emperor Anqing received the good news, and he gave An Changqing a lot of gifts.
An Changqing accepted it in a humble manner, and then continued to close the door and see no guests. But even so, he also noticed the change of wind direction on the court. Within two days after Emperor Anqing's reward was given, the family members of four or five court officials had already sent messages to the palace, inviting him to a banquet.
An Changqing tried to find reasons to refuse, and the family did not go.
No matter what the intention of Emperor Anqing was to bestow the reward, if he went to a high-profile banquet for this reason and had too close contact with officials, Emperor Anqing would definitely not want to see it.
An Changqing stayed in the mansion peacefully, no matter who came to invite him, he said he couldn't get sick. He sat in the yard rubbing the letter that he sent home together with the battle report, his two long black eyebrows frowned.
The family letter sent back was only a few numbers: "Everything is fine, don't read."
Men have always been less talkative, and can't hold back a few words when writing a letter. An Changqing looked annoyed and happy at the same time. Annoyed that he didn't know how to write a few more words, but joy is that everything is fine for a man. But then, he remembered his last life again, and couldn't help but worry.
Xiao Zhige of the previous life naturally would not come back with a letter from his family, but he also knew from the few words of his servants that this battle was not easy to win. But now that Xiao Zhige left less than a month ago, the good news came back, which made him anxious.
***
Yanyun County.
"Has anyone caught it?" Xiao Zhige tore the bandage with his teeth and re-dressed the bleeding wound.
In the battle of Chimuling, he cut off Huyanxun's arm, and he was not unscathed. Huyanxun slashed his left shoulder with a knife. Although he avoided the blade, he was still injured.
"It's been captured, what is the general going to do with it?"
Qi Wei's face was dignified: "He is the inspector sent by His Majesty, and he is also the prince's person. I'm afraid..."
Xiao Zhige knotted the bandage with force, and smiled bloodthirsly: "The general is outside, and the military orders will not be accepted. Besides, burning food and grass is equivalent to betraying the country. He chopped off his head and ordered eight hundred miles to rush to Yejing. "
"The rest of the accomplices were beheaded, and the bodies were hung with him in the city for public display!"
"Yes." Qi Wei took the order.
Xiao Zhige asked again, "How about the food and grass?"
"It was discovered in time, the fire has been put out, and the food and grass have not lost much, but..." Qi Wei's face was ugly: "It's just that when we were counting the food and grass, we found that the newly delivered batch of food and grass, except for the outer layer, pressed down most of the head. They are all mixed with sand and gravel. Someone has been sent to sieve them, and less than half of the rice grains left can be used. If there is no war, it can last for at most half a month."
All I could say, I heard the sound of the horn outside the house, and a soldier announced loudly outside the house: "Report! The scouts detected that Huyanxun and Huyan'at are leading the army to Yanyun County!"
"Prepare to fight!" Xiao Zhige stood up abruptly, ignoring the cracked wound, put on his armor, and said without turning his head to Qiwei: "Add another emergency report to Yejing, asking for food and grass supplies; another Send people to Liangzhou and Chenzhou to see if they have any extra grain to lend."
***
On March 28, Yanzhou came to 800 li for an expedited express. Along with the emergency report, there was also the head of Xiang Shang, who was overseeing the censor, Shi Jinzhong.
The urgent report said: Shi Jinzhong cooperated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and when the two armies were fighting and the defense in the city was empty, he led a dozen people to burn food and grass. Due to the timely discovery, the fire was put out, but when the grain was counted, it was found that the latest batch of grain and forage was mixed with sand and gravel, and now less than half of the available grain remains. When the Bei Di army heard the news, they attacked again, and Yanzhou had only enough food and grass to last for ten days. Request Beijing China Grain and Grass support.
There was an uproar up and down the court. When the war was tense, the censors of the censors burned food and grass, and their behavior was no different from collaborating with the enemy and treason. At this time, the matter of military salaries and greed for ink was also revealed. Everyone looked at each other and realized the crisis.
Doctor Censor was the first to kneel down to accept the crime: "It's the minister who has nowhere to go, and I didn't find that Shi Jinzhong harbored evil intentions! Please forgive me!"

The minister of the Taifu Temple followed him and knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to mix sand in the food and grass!"
The prince looked around, and saw everyone's expressions of surprise, he also stepped forward and said: "It is such a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is appropriate to take the person back to the Dali Temple for interrogation and then convicted. Now that the second brother has killed the person, opening his mouth is collaborating with the enemy and treason. It would be too hasty. Besides, the matter of mixing sand and gravel in the grain and grass, such a major matter, should also send someone to investigate and distinguish."
Emperor Anqing looked at An Zhike with a worried expression, "What does the Prime Minister think?"
An Zhike glanced at the prince vaguely, then stepped forward and said, "The general will not be subject to the orders of foreign troops. Yanzhou is far away, and the battle is tight. Presumably, the prince's move must have a purpose. Right now, the battle is more important."
Emperor Anqing's face darkened even more, and he tapped his fingers on the armrest impatiently: "How much food and grass does Yanzhou need?"
The official of the Taifu Temple said, "One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass."
Emperor Anqing's face changed slightly: "One hundred thousand stones?"
Taifu Si Qing wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Exactly. It's just that the treasury is empty now, and it's the Empress Dowager's birthday, this... I really can't get so much money for a while. I just allocated a batch of grain and grass to Yanzhou a few years ago. , coupled with the snowstorm at the beginning of the year, there is really no food and grass in the national treasury."
Emperor Anqing's face was blue and white, changed for a moment, and slapped the table angrily: "The treasury is empty! The treasury is empty! Where does the money collected every year go?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Anqing Emperor was angry, stared at these people for a while, then got up with a flick of his sleeves: "Sanchao! We will discuss it tomorrow!"
***
The matter in the courtroom was spread out in just half a day.
When An Changqing heard Tiehu's reply, saying that Yanzhou was short of food and grass, he felt a "squeak" in his heart.
After the good news from Yanzhou came back, he kept thinking about it, always feeling that something was wrong. This life was so smooth that he couldn't believe it. Until he heard Tie Hu say that Yanzhou was in short supply of food and grass, he froze in his heart and suddenly remembered the fragmentary fragments he had heard in the previous life.
He had only heard one ear at the time, and he didn't know where to hear the news. He didn't even know it had anything to do with Yanzhou and Xiao Zhige.
He only vaguely remembered that there was a major case of military pay and ink corruption in the northern state. At that time, there was a shortage of food and grass, and Bei Di came to attack again. The soldiers and the common people still fought to the end despite the shortage of food. They fought so hard for nearly a month, but they could not wait for Yejing's support. The people in the city could only survive by eating tree bark and wild grass. The soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy because they could not get enough to eat, and they suffered heavy casualties in that battle. Although the Beidi people were finally defeated, Daye also suffered heavy casualties.
An Changqing clenched his palms tightly. He didn't expect that the rumors that he had forgotten in his last life would be related to Yanzhou and Xiao Zhige.
The author has something to say: Cowardly: I have no food, I can't afford to eat.
Well, don't be afraid, we have money, I'll give you takeaway q3q
