Li Yunze inquired about Yue Fei's information in Tangyin County, and it turned out that no one knew about it.

That Yue Fei was a famous person in Tangyin. His martial arts skills were the best in the county, and he was said to be invincible in fighting all over Tangyin.

The only regret is that Yue Fei is not in his hometown at this time.

As early as the fourth year of Xuanhe's campaign to conquer the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun, Yue Fei, who was less than twenty years old, applied to become a brave warrior and joined the military career.

Later, he returned to his hometown because of his filial piety to his father. However, in the first two years, due to family difficulties, he went to the Pingding Army to join the army.

The Pingding Army is the Yangquan County that appeared in Liangjian, not far from Taiyuan.

Historically, Yue Fei had to wait until Taiyuan and other places were conquered before he could break through and return to his hometown.

As of now, he is still surrounded by the Pingding Army.

Li Yunze also wanted to look for Wang Gui and other Yue Fei's fellow villagers, but was told that when Yue Fei went to enlist in the Pingding Army, Wang Gui and others had already gone with him.

"Pinging Army."

Looking around at the mere dozens of followers around him, he shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​going directly to quell the Ding army.

Li Yunze moved directly into Xiangzhou City. While recruiting people everywhere in the name of recruiting sales personnel, he also inquired about the movements of the Western Army ahead, ready to find the right opportunity to cut in at any time.

As for the court, Li Yunze had already bitten him like crazy since he left the capital, the kind that would knock a dog's brains out.

As long as he sends a sum of money back from time to time, saying that it is the proceeds from the national debt sold in the North, Zhao Huan and others, who are already in a state of distress, will have no time to care about him.

The main force of the Western Army was deployed, and under the threat of the mighty army, even Nianhan had to temporarily avoid the edge.

Yao Gu and other troops regained Longde Mansion one after another, and the Weisheng Army and other places approached Taiyuan, but they could no longer advance further.

Time came to May, and after repairs, the Western Army moved forward again, trying to rescue Taiyuan City.

The Western Army marched in three directions. The Zhong Division's headquarters went north along the Taihang Mountains, preparing to rush to Taiyuan City from Zhending Mansion through Jingxing.

When the worried Zhongshi led his army through Xiangzhou, they were shocked to learn that King Kang was visiting.

"I've met the prince."

Because Li Yunze had previously helped to gain a posthumous reputation for Zhongshi Dao, Zhongshi was very grateful for this, so his attitude was very enthusiastic.

"Lieutenant, there is no need to be polite." After a few words of greeting, Li Yunze said bluntly, "I was about to go north to Zhending Mansion, but I never expected to meet a large army walking with me on the way."

"Your Majesty." The cultivator still had doubts, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"I, under the orders of the officials, went north to sell national bonds..." Li Yunze explained, and then made a request, "There is unrest in the north, how about I go with the Taiwei's subordinates?"

The kind-hearted advice from the cultivators was that a big war was about to start in the north, and it was too dangerous to go north at this time.

But Li Yunze took out the imperial edict and expressed his position directly and helplessly. If the quota tasks could not be completed every month, the princes in the court would fill the palaces with impeachment memorials.

They are all helpless people who are burdened with the task of being unable to complete the work. The cultivators have no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Yunze left the main camp in Zhongshi and was surrounded by a group of sergeants as he walked out of the door.

Niu Gao and Zhai Cong were very nervous and hurriedly protected Li Yunze.

But the sergeants surrounding Li Yunze all bowed down and saluted, wiping their tears and shouting, "My lord, help me~~~"

"You are not a woman who was molested by the Yamen. Why are you shouting for help?" Li Yunze smiled and said, "Get up."

"Your Majesty, it's time to see you. We can hardly live anymore."

The people who came were all sergeants from the Shengjie Army.

He was then sent to the Western Army camp, and after receiving a reward of money and food, he became a motherless child.

The imperial court did not recognize them and simply treated them as if they did not exist.

The cultivators were very loyal, and had promised Li Yunze to take care of them, so they squeezed out money and food to support them.

But this approach made other departments very dissatisfied.

Although they are all from the Western Army, the Shengjie Army used to be Tong Guan's pro-army and did not have a good relationship with the various departments of the Western Army.

All kinds of exclusion are naturally inevitable.

After the war begins, the victorious army will basically fight the hard battles, but there will be no rewards for winning.

Most of the generals couldn't bear it, and they all looked for connections to find ways to jump ship and go to other armies.

The sergeants gradually dispersed due to low military morale, and life became more and more difficult day by day.

Until then, when she heard that Prince Kang was coming, Sheng Jiejun couldn't stand it anymore and immediately pushed out the representatives to beg the prince for help.

In a broad sense, Li Yunze is their supervisor.

"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen." Arriving at the Shengjie Army camp on the outskirts, Li Yunze stamped his feet repeatedly. "It's all my fault. I've made you feel wronged. I'll go find Lieutenant Zhong and ask." Why is he kidnapped?"

Many sergeants in the camp just want to have a boss to take care of them at this time, and they can't care about anything else.

Everyone tried to persuade him to stop him, "Xiangong is already a very good manager, but the imperial court did not allocate a penny or a stone of food to the Shengjie Army. It was all thanks to the misappropriation of Xianggong in various places to support us, but all the troops and departments were depleted." There were complaints.”

"I see."

Li Yunze suddenly realized, "You are short of money and food, right?"

Needless to say, they are almost dying of poverty.

In the economically developed Song Dynasty, no disease was terrible, the only terrible thing was the disease of poverty.

"Since I am in charge of the Shengjie Army, I will naturally distribute money and food to you." Li Yunze began to wonder, "Are you willing to serve me?"

It was really hard to tell when I was in Bianliang City before.

But after these days of severe beatings, the sergeants of the Shengjie Army had already been smoothed away by life.

They all shouted, "I am willing to die for the prince~~~"

"I don't carry too much with me." Li Yunze called to Niu Gao, "Go and get all the money and silk from the motorcade. First, we will pay back two months' back pay to the soldiers."

Then he told Zhai Cong, "Go to Anyang City with money, silk, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and wine. Buy as much as you can and bring it to the camp. I want to drink with all the soldiers!"

For Shengjiejun, who eats chaff and porridge all day long, Li Yunze's performance is their big savior.

Everyone cheered and some even shouted long live. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz

Regarding the fact that Li Yunze went to Shengjie Army, Zhong Shizhong was relieved after learning about it.

Because the imperial court hated Tong Guan, he hated Wuji Wuxia and directly cut off the money and food of Shengjie's army.

In fact, the main reason is that the Shengjie Army was stationed in the imperial city before, which brought too much psychological shadow to Zhao Huan.

These tens of thousands of troops, food, clothing, chewing, logistics supplies, etc., all rely on the division to divert them from other departments. Of course, other departments will not do it.

Because of this incident, several conflicts broke out.

Now that King Kang is willing to take over this problem, all his teachers are happy.

The 100,000 troops under Zhongshi marched all the way north through Daming Mansion, passing through Xingzhou, crossing Zhaozhou, and finally arrived at Zhending Mansion.

Zhending Mansion was the famous No. 1 village in the world in later generations.

Heading west from here is Jingxing, the absolutely essential road into Shanxi.

When the army gathered at the entrance of Jingxing, the planting division was very agitated.

It was originally agreed that the three armies would set out together to rescue Taiyuan City, but at this time there was no movement at all from the other two armies.

In addition, all the troops under his command were making a fuss.

The reason for the commotion was simple. Sheng Jiejun, who had previously looked down upon him, now started to tremble.

As long as Luzhou passes through the government, King Kang will go to the city to sell some national debt.

This is nothing. This is what the prince did when he went north.

After King Kang returned to the camp, he would bring back a large number of chickens, ducks, fish, hogs, even cattle and sheep, as well as a lot of wine.

In the past, Shengjiejun, who had relied entirely on subsidies from various ministries for food and received the worst treatment, was now trembling. He spent the best money on food and drink, and provoked everyone from time to time, causing public outrage.

The military generals gathered here to ask for an explanation, but what explanation could they give?

When it comes to food and drink, there is no shortage of them at the level of a general.

But the problem is that they are not short, but the soldiers and horses under them are extremely short.

In the past, sergeants from all ministries were treated the same, so there was nothing much to say, but now the Shengjie Army was enjoying the food and drink, and the sergeants from other ministries could only watch and eat dry food, of course they were going to cause trouble.

If the generals cannot be calmed down, the anger will naturally fall on them.

Li Yunze is the prince, they don't dare to make trouble, they can only come to make trouble among the teachers.

"What can I do?" The cultivator, who was covering his head, was irritated. "You can just go to the prince and ask for it."

The generals looked at each other and then started making noise again.

It was because he didn't have the face to go to King Kang that he came to see the leader among the breeders, so he could do whatever he wanted.

The members of the division couldn't stand the noise of the various ministries, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and personally led the generals to the camp of Shengjie Army.

As soon as we entered the camp, we heard cheers and cheers. All we met along the way were sergeants who were training seriously.

Among those who have been in the military for decades, you can tell with just one glance whether the sergeants are slacking off during training.

The sergeants of the Shengjie Army indeed trained hard and with great intensity.

"The general will pay homage to your husband." Niu Gao, who had been promoted to commander, hurried over to pay homage.

"Where is the prince?"

"Return to Mr. Xiang." Niu Gao responded hurriedly, "I will give you the reward at the shooting range."

As he said this, the eyes of many Western Army generals behind him in the division shone brightly.

"lead the way."

When we arrived at the shooting range, we saw many sergeants gathered around, watching the two archers test their archery skills, cheering and hooting from time to time.

"Your Majesty." Zhong Shidao led everyone forward and saluted Li Yunze who was sitting on the chair.

"Stop talking." Li Yunze, who was munching on melon seeds, waved his hands without looking back, "Don't disturb others' competition."

Everyone was silent and looked at the shooting range.

The two archers over there shot ten arrows respectively. One of them hit seven red hearts, and the other hit nine red hearts.

It was obvious that the person with nine hearts won, but he was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, sighing.

Zhong Shidao and others were puzzled, what does this mean?

Niu Gao on the side explained, "Ms. sir, the reward set by the prince is that if all ten arrows hit, he will be rewarded with one hundred guan. If only nine arrows hit, then he will only be rewarded with nine guan."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

No wonder, of course I would be upset if it was ten times worse.

At this moment, a ruthless voice sounded among the generals, "Ten arrows only hit ten, what's so difficult about it? My lord, I want to get this reward of one hundred guan!"

Li Yunze, who had his legs crossed, finally turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, the final commander of the Suide Army in Yan'an Prefecture is Han Shizhong."
