After everyone exchanged information, Di Yuanzheng led people back to Kyoto City.

These grains and fodder can sustain Daxia's frontline troops for at least a month.

Within a month, the war must have been over.

With the provision of food and grass, the morale of the officers and soldiers increased greatly, and they fought more bravely than before.

Di Yuanzheng returned to Kyoto City in less than four days.

Jiang Qiulu finally felt relieved after hearing the battle report from the northern frontline.

"There really are ambushes ambushing the grain transport team." Jiang Qiulu's eyes were cold and murderous.

"Exactly, Your Majesty."

"However, during the battle at Tianwang Temple, the troops who came to respond arrived in time."

"Therefore, our losses in this battle are not large." Di Yuanzheng said.

Jiang Qiulu nodded.

"Old general, let's bury these warriors alive."

"Treat his family members preferentially," Jiang Qiulu ordered.

"promise!"

Judging from the casualty information, our Jinyi guards and soldiers totaled 3,000 people.

One hundred and sixty people were killed and 322 wounded.

Nearly a quarter of the casualties showed the fierceness of the Tianwang Temple battle.

Fortunately, the food and grass were safely delivered to the northern frontline.

In Prince Yong's Mansion, Zhongli did not choose to return to Kyoto directly in order to cover up others' misunderstandings.

Basically returned from the Di expedition at the same time.

"My lord, all my subordinates have heard about it," Zhongli said.

At this time, King Yong kept rubbing his face, feeling extremely upset.

"The Turkic army is finished."

King Yong sighed and said weakly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"This attack by the Turkic army is to cover the sneak attack team and avoid the battlefield."

"Then they entered the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and intercepted the grain transport team."

"But now not only has the interception not been successful, the frontline troops have also been defeated and suffered heavy losses."

Zhongli explained the current situation.

But this made King Yong even more upset.

"How do I know what to do?"

"The Turkic dynasty's army is now in a state of collapse, and everyone can see it."

"And even the only chance is gone. Our plan will hit a bottleneck again." King Yong said helplessly.

After a period of silence, King Yong sighed again.

Everyone had no choice but to put their plans on hold and look for another opportunity.

On the northern front line, after having food and grass, they once again launched a fierce attack on the Turkic army.

Now, the remaining troops have returned to Tianxiao City again.

The situation is exactly the same as last time.

But this time, King Jiang did not intend to let them fight against the trapped beasts.

Directly ordered the siege.

Soon, news of King Jiang's attack on Tianxiao City spread back to the palace.

All the ministers were immediately excited.

Tianxiao City was originally the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and had been in the hands of the Turkic Dynasty for several years.

Now King Jiang is preparing to take it back, and his prestige has increased instantly.

"As long as Tianxiao City is recaptured, the Turkic Dynasty will be completely finished."

All the ministers in the palace firmly believed in this idea.

Everything was ready, and Jiang Qiulu made a new move.

What Di Yuanzheng mentioned last time was the food transport routes in Kyoto City and the food storage locations on the battlefield.

Someone must have tipped off the news.

Then, Jiang Qiulu summoned Liang Feng, the chief minister, to the palace on the pretext of discussing farming matters.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Feng rushed to the palace as quickly as possible.

"Your Majesty, Liang Feng, is here to see you." Liang Feng entered the imperial study and saluted Jiang Qiulu.

"Master Liang, you don't have to be polite, just stay on your side." Jiang Qiulu turned around and said to Liang Feng.

"I called Mr. Liang here today because I want to hear Mr. Liang's opinion on something."

"I must tell you everything I know."

Jiang Qiulu paused, and then took out the secret letter from the last attack on the supply camp.

"Master Liang, please look at this."

With that said, he handed the secret letter to Liang Feng.

Liang Feng took it and read it carefully.

"Your Majesty, what's the problem with this news?"

"Could it be that the transport camp was attacked again this time?" Liang Feng was puzzled for a moment.

"That's not true. The food and grass have been protected."

"I want to ask, the route and storage location of our food transportation should be kept secret from the outside world, right?"

Jiang Qiulu asked.

As soon as this problem came up and the food and grass were destroyed, Liang Feng immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.

"Your Majesty, this is not a matter of leakage by your subordinates."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

Liang Feng thought Jiang Qiulu was asking for guilt, so he immediately knelt down to defend himself.

"Master Liang, you don't have to be like this."

"I know this was not your fault."

"I want Master Liang to help me investigate secretly."

"No one knows our routes and storage locations."

Liang Feng was relieved when he heard that Jiang Qiulu was not asking for guilt.

"I see."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have a way to find out." Liang Feng said.

"All that will trouble Mr. Liang."

"Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"If you need anything, please let me know."

"promise!"

Liang Feng took the order and left.

Now the Daxia army is in a critical period.

If someone comes out to disrupt the situation at this time, it will definitely have an impact on the offense.

Therefore, Jiang Qiulu must nip this danger in the bud.

In less than half a day, Liang Feng sent the list of relevant personnel to Jiang Qiulu.

Some people that Liang Feng thought were suspicious were marked in red.

Jiang Qiulu did not hesitate and immediately asked Jin Yiwei to monitor according to this list.

The next day, Liang Feng came to Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has already released the news."

"He said that our department will continue to prepare food and fodder during these days and send it to the northern frontline."

“And informed of transportation routes and storage locations.”

Jiang Qiulu nodded.

"In this case, the whistleblower will definitely take action."

"I have sent out Jin Yiwei to monitor the suspects."

"If there are any questions, they will be arrested immediately for interrogation."

Soon, news came from Jin Yiwei.

Beizhen Fusi caught the two of them.

The two people hurriedly walked out of their residence, but were stopped on the spot by Jin Yiwei.

Then he subconsciously tried to run away, but was caught by Jin Yiwei.

And a letter was found on each of them.

The content recorded above is the date, quantity and route.

There was nothing to say, so Jin Yiwei captured the two men directly and took them back to the imperial prison in Fusi, Beizhen.

When Jiang Qiulu saw someone being arrested, he immediately sneered.

"I didn't expect that King Yong was still planning to get food and grass," Jiang Qiulu said.

"King Yong extended his hand here, probably because his army also needs food and grass."

"In this way, he will save a lot of money on food and grass."

Jiang Donglin said on the side.

"Humph, you're pretty good at living."

"Using royal supplies to feed his own troops is really a good plan." Jiang Qiulu sneered.

"Come here, tell Commander Di and interrogate him immediately."

"All relevant personnel will be arrested and interrogated!" Jiang Qiulu immediately ordered.
