When Gao pragmatic first heard that Li Song had closed the border pass because of the discovery of Xi Zuo, he actually didn't think much about it. His anger at that time was relatively simple, it was just that he thought Li Song was careless. If you find that you need to work carefully, that's no problem, but just because you want to work carefully, you can't completely close the border, and even transport teams are not allowed to leave the country, right?
Our 600,000-strong army is at war here. If you cut off the transportation and supply lines at this time, are you going to starve these 600,000-strong army to death? What level of governance and what methods of doing things!
But later, after Cao Yun relayed the words of the deputy shopkeeper, Gao pragmatically realized that something was wrong. A deputy shopkeeper of Jinghua, who is now responsible for the supply line transportation of foreign combat armies, is definitely not joking when he says that there is "some face" in Gubeikou.
The garrison generals at Gubeikou were not big and their positions were not high. They were just Qianhu of the Chaohe River Guard Qianhu Station. Although Jinghua Trading Company has a long list of deputy shopkeepers, those who can be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass for the army are obviously not temporary workers, and their social status is undoubtedly sufficient to make friends with this Qianhu Lun.
It is impossible for Qianhu himself not to know the relationship between Jinghua Trading Company and Gao Jinglue. Normally speaking, if he can find a way to accommodate, he will never deliberately refuse to let him go. In this case, the problem is obvious. There must be this person who cannot afford to offend him. He must have given him a strict order and not allowed him to let go.
Originally, the generals who sided with the Practical School in Ji Town were the majority, and they basically worshiped under Gao Pragmatic School. Otherwise, they were not qualified enough to directly worship under Gao Pragmatic School, so they had to "indirectly worship", but in short They are all pan-high series.
Specific to the Gubeikou guard general and Chaohechuan guard Qianhusuo Qianhu, he himself is from a high-level family, and his direct boss is the Miyun rear guard commander who came from the Qi family army in his early years - this commander is now Serves under the command of the High Pragmatic Economics Headquarters.
After such deep thought, Gao Pragmatic immediately became certain of one thing. There must be someone in Gubeikou who was far more authoritative than this Qianhu, who was actually in charge of all affairs in Gubeikou.
So, who is the mastermind behind this operation in Gubeikou? No matter who it is, it must be closely related to Li Song, because the governor of Jiliao is based in Miyun, and Miyun is only about a hundred miles away from Gubeikou. How difficult is it to send someone from Miyun to take over Gubeikou?
You must know that the situation in Ji Town at this time is that the general manager and general troops have already gone out, and the governor's office is far away in Zunhua, so the only person closest to Gubeikou is the governor in Miyun.
The situation is now clear, the question is what to do.
Li Song, the governor of Ji Liao, was a civil servant. Even if Gao Pingshi had Shang Fangjian in his hand, he couldn't really be beheaded. But when he thought of Shang Fang Sword, Gao Pragmatic suddenly felt something in his heart. He recalled that when the emperor gave the sword, a dispute broke out in the court. In the end, Shen Yuanfu and Xini gave this Shang Fang Sword some different powers from the previous Shang Fang Sword.
At that time, Shen Shixing did a good job of making peace with each other. In fact, it was considered as a smooth solution for both parties to take a step back. In the end, Gao Wu realized that the power of the Shangfang sword in his hand was as follows: "If the governor does not want to be killed, his troops will be relieved immediately, and Jian Yi will be the supervisor." Instead, the deputy envoy will not use his life, so he will immediately pick off his black gauze, and Jian Yi will be replaced by an official. The rest will work with Shang Fangjian."
The scope of the "remainder" here is very large. In fact, it is the "general" in the scope of Shang Fangjian's power in the past - all military generals, from general soldiers to small soldiers, can kill at will.
The debate in the court at that time was not about the generals, but the two categories added before this "remnant": governors and deputy envoys. That's right, it refers to those civilian officials with corresponding military power.
It seems that Shen Shixing probably did not expect that Gao Pragmatic would really conflict with the civil servants within the jurisdiction of Jinglue at the time, so he did not pay attention when he was with Xini and got Li Song into the trap.
If you are pragmatic and brave enough, you can now use the excuse that Li Song, the governor of Jiliao, "doesn't want to die" and "immediately remove his military leadership and replace him with Jian Yi Supervisor"!
Do you dare to be pragmatic? dare! Do you want to do this? want!
"Cao Zongrong, who is the best general and rider under my command at the moment?" Gao Pragmatic asked in a deep voice.
Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "There are two people. One is Ma Lin, the son of Marshal Ma, and the other is Ye Bangrong, a former general of the Qi family army. The former is now the staff general of Zijingguan, and the latter is the guerrilla leader of Jizhen."
"Very good." Gao pragmatically said coldly: "Jinglue military order: Order Ma Lin, the general of Zijingguan, to hold the Jinglue Shangfang sword, lead three thousand riders south to Gubeikou at night, and ask and kill the Gubeikou guard; then go down to Miyun, Li Songben, the governor of Jiliao, was relieved of his various duties, and Li Songzhun stayed idle pending investigation. In addition, Ma Lin was sent with a brief order to summon Li Ruhua, the censor of Shuntian patrol, to Miyun, where he temporarily controlled the army and waited for new orders from the court. This order will go into effect."
Cao Yan felt his scalp numb when he heard it, and saw that Gao Pingshi had already waved to the people on his left and right, and the treasure box containing Shang Fangjian had been presented. Although he did not dare to object, he still asked cautiously: "Entang, do you really want to do this? What if Li Zhijun refuses to submit..."
Gao pragmatically said solemnly: "Unwilling to submit? What a refusal to submit! Ask Marin, if someone disobeys the holy will and disobeys this military order, will he deal with it?"
Cao Yu didn't dare to say any more and quickly agreed. Under Gao Pragmatic's signal, he held Shang Fang Sword in both hands and stepped backwards out of the handsome tent. As soon as he went out, Gao Pingzhi heard a shout from Cao Yu outside the tent: "Where is Ma Lin's camp? Is he in the camp right now? ... Very good, you can lead me there immediately."
But Gao Pragmatism didn't stop there. He also called several of his secretaries who were part-time staff and asked them to draft several military orders on his behalf and send them to several checkpoints. In these military orders, Gao Pragmatic strictly ordered that all checkpoints should not prohibit or delay the entry and exit of grain transport teams for any reason. Anyone who violated the order would be executed regardless of the reason.
Although the Gubeikou garrison can be regarded as a general of the "Pan Gao Department", since he dare not withstand the pressure to serve for himself, Gao Pragmatic does not mind borrowing the lead of others.
The ancients said: Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth. I am a master of both military and financial affairs, so he actually thinks that I am a good gentleman who can be bullied? What a joke, it's just that I've been too busy recently and haven't done much killing, so you dare to make trouble at this age and treat me like a sick cat?
However, although he has Shang Fangjian in hand, it is easier to deal with "life-wasting" matters, but the broken supply line will still have an impact even if it is restored, so he needs to think carefully about how to adjust it.
Ma Lin traveled all day and night to open Gubeikou. Even if the elite cavalry went south, it would still take two days, and it would take four days for the transport team to deliver the rations, which was a delay of six days.
Under such circumstances, if we continue to march westward without waiting for military supplies, we may run out of food before we reach Guihua; if we wait for food to be delivered before moving westward, Guihua City will be extremely dangerous, and who knows if it will be lost.

PS: There is a close epidemic situation in my city and district, and it is near my community, so I received a lot of notices tonight, and I have to do nucleic acid tests tomorrow, so tonight's time is greatly delayed, so I can only 2K ,Feel sorry. And I don’t know what the situation will be tomorrow, but I hope it won’t be serious enough to require isolation. (However, it took me a long time to finish the two injections, so there is no need to worry about safety.)
