Qin Changfeng was startled and quickly dismounted to help him, wanting to know what was going on.
However, at this time, another sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Zhong Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he quickly stood up.
Qin Changfeng raised his eyes and looked.
I saw another group of people coming over there. These people were not soldiers, but officials in official uniforms. After seeing Qin Changfeng, the leader raised his hands and said with a smile: "I have never met General Qin! General Qin worked hard all the way, and the people of Sichuan and Shu will definitely not forget it!"
Qin Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Obviously, as soon as He Chang came, Zhong Lin's expression returned to normal, without the pleading look just now.
"Master He is..."
Qin Changfeng smiled.
He Chang laughed and said: "You see, I am at fault. I am the munitions counselor of the Shuzhou Military Department, and I am here to discuss the matter of grain, grass and baggage with General Qin."
Qin Changfeng nodded.
Military Quartermaster.
It is also equivalent to the minister of logistics in later generations. The Liangzhou Army rushes to support Sichuan and Shu, and is heavily loaded with food and grass. Naturally, it is impossible for the Liangzhou Army to continue to go out. How can anyone help you fight and prepare your own dry food? This is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
so.
It is normal for the munitions counselor to come to hand over and discuss matters.
"Come on, come on, General Qin please, General Qin please!"
He Chang is very enthusiastic.
Qin Changfeng glanced at Zhong Lin calmly. As expected, Zhong Lin had a dark face and didn't say a word.
The Liangzhou Army began to enter the port and then began to repair.
Qin Changfeng also led his team to the Jiange Fortress.
What surprised Qin Changfeng was that neither Zhong Lin nor He Chang mentioned a word about the Nanman ambush.
The city is extremely deep...
On this day, He Chang, the military counselor, hosted a banquet for the generals of the Liangzhou army at Jiange Fortress and stayed up all night. This gave Qin Changfeng no chance to talk to Zhong Lin alone.
Who wants to.
The next day, it was still the same.
For three consecutive days, everyone in Jiange Fortress was drunk and alone.
Three days later, the Liangzhou army was ready. Qin Changfeng was impatient and wanted to send troops to Jiangzhou, but who knew how often this would happen, he said that the preparations for food and grass were not complete yet, so please wait patiently for a few more days.
Although Qin Changfeng was anxious, he had no choice but to continue waiting.
who knows.
Seven days passed, and I asked about food and grass every day, but there were always various excuses.
Qin Changfeng felt more and more that something was wrong.
…
"How is your prince doing?"
"How is your lord?"
"Medical Officer Luo..."
Prince Shu's Mansion.
The crowds are crowded and the hearts of the people are unstable.
Medical officer Na Luo came out, sighed and shook his head.
Everyone's heart was suddenly filled with sadness.
Although the King of Shu has a violent personality, he is indeed a wise king and manages Sichuan and Shu in an orderly manner. If he leaves, Sichuan and Shu will definitely fall into chaos.
"Damn Nanman, you must avenge the King of Shu!"
"Yes, drive these Southern Barbarians out of Sichuan and Shu!"
"Recruiting troops, all states and counties are recruiting troops quickly. We are Sichuan and Shu, why should we be afraid of those barbarians?"
A group of people were outraged.
Of course, the slogans were shouted loudly, but everyone knew in their hearts that in the battle of Jiangzhou, Shuzhou suffered heavy losses, directly losing 150,000 troops, and its vitality was severely damaged. Recruitment and military training at this time are definitely too late. Moreover, when the Southern Barbarians arrived, King Xiang of Jingzhou had already garrisoned Yong'an and was ready to move. At this time, the remaining 150,000 troops in Shuzhou are more than capable of holding on and are absolutely unable to advance.
"Everyone, I heard that General Qin from Liangzhou has arrived at Jiange. You should go south to Jiangzhou as soon as possible to expel the southern barbarians!"
Someone suggested.
But someone immediately said: "Huh, everyone, don't worry about this now. Once the tiger and wolf divisions of the Liangzhou Army enter the middle of Shu, they are afraid that they will be the wolf in front and the tiger in the back. How can they deal with it in Shu?"
soon.
The two parties started quarreling again.
It turns out that within Sichuan and Shu, there are two different opinions on asking for help from Liangzhou. Specifically, they are divided into two factions. One faction is the crown prince Xie Zhen. He believes that the top priority is to expel the Southern Barbarians from the country first. Looking at the entire Longyan at this time, only the Liangzhou Army has this strength.
However, a group of civil and military personnel represented by Xie Yang felt that the Liangzhou Army was fierce and invincible and Liu Zhizhou was extremely ambitious.
It’s okay to ask for reinforcements. If the Nanman are defeated, why don’t he leave? Hanzhong is a lesson learned from this incident. Now the Liangzhou Army's garrison in Hanzhong has been constraining Hanzhong and looking east to the Central Plains.
About this matter.
Officials from Sichuan and Shu have been arguing for more than a day.
"A bunch of lousy people!"
Xie Zhen listened to the discussion of these people and immediately became furious: "Long Yan is majestic, how can he allow barbarians to invade? No matter what the Liangzhou army is, they are still Long Yan soldiers, and everyone is Han!"
"Today, the people of Jiangzhou are still being slaughtered, the Nanman are sharpening their swords, and the surrounding cities are being invaded repeatedly, but you are worried that the Liangzhou army is eating our food and grass and coveting our city!"
"If this continues, how will the entire Longyan view me?"
"What do the people think of my Prince Shu's Mansion!"
Everyone was as silent as a cicada.
In fact, I was sneering in my heart. Seeing that the end was approaching, who could care about the people? This prince talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in reality he has no heart at all. How could such a simple-minded person handle this ancient battle for the right to inherit the throne? For such a person, if everyone follows you, will they be able to eat meat?
"Master Yan is out!"
"Master Yan is out!"
At this moment, people turned their heads to look.
really.
Yan Lin, followed by several people, came out of King Shu's room with a solemn look on his face.
"Master Yan..."
"What did the King of Shu say?"
"This matter of inheritance..."
Yan Lin shouted coldly: "The King of Shu is still here, how can we talk about inheritance? It's all gone. It's gone. The war is coming. It's business to prepare more food and grass!"
When everyone heard this, they left one after another even though they were reluctant.
Only Xie Yang's eyes began to turn cold.
On the carriage back.
Yan Lin sat upright.
At this time, it was getting late, and preparations for a curfew had begun in Yizhou City. Yan Lin's carriage was galloping on the official road. From time to time, when passing some gates, a figure would appear, and then get into Yan Lin's carriage. After a while, there was another one, and another one...
soon.
Seven or eight people had already appeared in Yan Lin's carriage.
Each of these people are important officials in Shu.
"Master Yan..."
"how?"
"The King of Shu's intention..."
Several people were very anxious and asked questions one after another.
Yan Lin took a deep breath: "This matter must be kept top secret!"
Everyone nodded.
In the past few days, all the spies in Yizhou City were spies from His Highness. Any disturbance will cause chaos in the city.
Yan Lin slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it.
When everyone saw it, their expressions changed.
