Chapter 237: When we first arrived in the northwest, we must make some noise!
Liu Yanhui was afraid that Zhou Ruyuan's attack was not enough, so he continued: "Now that the general has gone to the northwest, the kinship relationship has become weak. If the prince wants to solve the problem of food and grass, it would be a good idea to recognize him as a kinsman. What a good idea!”
Zhou Ruyuan’s eyes were dark. He was from the royal family, how could he be related to ordinary people?
How can they easily get hold of Tianhuang Guizhou?
"General, please make up your mind quickly. The army can only hold on to food and grass for a day or two at most!" Liu Yan replied and added fire!
Your anger surged in Zhou Ruyuan's chest. These people must be trying to intimidate him and want to see his jokes.
He will never let these people succeed!
"Quickly ask the imperial court for orders to allocate grain and grass!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Ruyuan's men went to do it immediately.
After that, Liu Yan returned to Che Mingyuan and others and began to busy handing over to Zhou Ruyuan's people.
There was no handover, it was just handing over the debt book from their hands to Zhou Ruyuan's.
Everything was done under the nose of Deputy Supervisor Wu Tong, who acted as a witness.
In the dead of night, Zhou Ruyuan's people secretly brought Che Mingyuan and Wu Tong to Zhou Ruyuan.
Che Mingyuan put it aside for now, he came relatively late.
Whenever Zhou Ruyuan asked, he just said he was late and didn't know.
Che Mingyuan’s appointment documents are there and cannot be faked.
Zhou Ruyuan directly ignored Che Mingyuan and questioned Wu Tong.
Ask Wu Tong a hundred times: the debt account book is real, and the more than a hundred adopted sons, daughters, brothers and sisters are also real.
Zhou Ruyuan and the people he brought were all silent!
The court quickly responded, the same as the previous reply to Shen Lanxi. Food and grass can be solved by oneself, and grain can be collected.
After receiving the reply, Zhou Ruyuan almost broke his teeth.
......
Sun Zhong knew that Shen Lanxi was going on patrol, and his expression was a little tangled.
They are soldiers under King Zhennan. Is it a bit against the rules to let Shen Lanxi patrol?
Wei Dongzhu: "Our general does not inspect the military camp, but inspects the people in the city and nearby villages."
Sun Zhong was a little surprised after hearing this. What should the people in the city do to inspect?
He did not raise any doubts, as long as Shen Lanxi did not patrol the military camp.
"General Shen, do you want to send troops to escort you?"
Shen Lanxi waved her hand: "No, I have someone with me!"
Sun Zhong thought to himself, with the guards she brought, if a riot really breaks out, they might not be able to withstand it!
Before he could think about it, Shen Lanxi had already led people into the city.
Wei Dongzhu has been here a long time ago and can be a guide for Shen Lanxi.
"The young and middle-aged people have run away to make a living, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't run or are unwilling to run!"
Shen Lanxi has already walked to the street, adding There are a few sparsely opened shops and a few stalls.
This place is completely different from the previous Xiling City.
There was a stall selling Hu cakes in front, and Shen Lanxi stopped.
"Go and buy some Hu biscuits. If you want to eat them, go and buy them too!"
Wei Dongzhu stepped forward and bought two.
“This biscuit is very delicious. There is a salt lake nearby, so it is very convenient to eat salt!”
Shen Lanxi smelled a smell of pepper, which stimulated her appetite.
“It’s delicious!” It’s salty and has a strong peppery taste.
Wei Dongzhu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Huangtu City turned out to be the largest trading place for Hu merchants nearby. During the past two years of war, Hu merchants would rather leave their things here than come!"
Shen Lanxi listened while walking.
Wei Dongzhu saw Shen Lanxi's eyes glancing at the grandfather and grandson who was setting up the stall, and said: "Most of the children have left with their parents. Those who have not left are all young people in the family who have died."
"Too many people have died during the war and conscription in the past two years!" Shen Lanxi was walking when she encountered someone robbing someone in the street.
“Grandpa, this is the only thing left in the house. If you take them all away, my little grandson will not be able to bear it anymore!”
Two A man with a sinister face kicked the old man away.
"Grandpa thinks highly of you if I take something from you. Get away quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you!"
The old man was also forced to do nothing by his livelihood. He would rather be beaten than let go.
"Grandpa, can you take half of it? My little grandson is waiting to exchange these things for some money to buy medicine."
"Buying medicine? I just gave these things to you. We, your family, can save money by digging a hole and burying your grandson to save trouble..." Arrogant laughter rang out.
Shen Lanxi frowned: "The good biscuits are tasteless!"
Wei Dongzhu's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward with a knife, killing both of them with two knives!
Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "This cake has flavor again!"
The people around him were so frightened that they all ran away.
Shen Lanxi is in a very good mood!
"We have just arrived in the northwest, so we must make some noise!"
Wei Dongzhu raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to behead your head in public?"
Shen Lanxi: "No, no, no, they are not the ones who committed great evil, so let's leave their corpses intact!"
"Hang them at the gate of the city and whip their corpses to show the public!"
Wei Dongzhu: "..."
Soon what Shen Lanxi had done spread to Sun Zhong and the marriage mission.
“Who did it?”
"Wei Dongzhu!"
"The Wei family army lost 400,000 people. Wei Dongzhu is probably going to cause a bloody storm in the northwest this time!"
"Shen Lanxi is not afraid and keeps an eye on Wei Dongzhu. But! ”
“Yes! ”
Soon the news came out in Loess City that Wei Dongzhu, the major general of the Wei Army, used thunderous means to scare the three Turkic tribes when he first arrived in Loess City!
Shen Lanxi inspected the city and then went to nearby villages.
The nearby villages are also full of old and weak people, with very few young people. Some villages are no longer inhabited, and some villages are mostly empty.
There are still traces left by swords and other weapons in the village.
Shen Lanxi: "Place our people in deserted villages."
Wei Dongzhu: "Yes!"
Xiao Fang, Qian Feng and others ran out for a day and gave Cheng Zheng the information they got to compile and check.
Cheng Zheng listened and opened the records of Huangtucheng to check.
All the information obtained can be matched!
Shen Lanxi did not return until sunset, bringing back many unique local things.
Conference Hall
Wei Dongzhu: "Some of the people on the list were sent to dig salt from the Salt Lake, and a few were assigned to build city walls and forge weapons."
Shen Lanxi had previously learned from the Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple After reading the list of personnel who came to escort the food and wages of the Wei family's army, I copied a copy and asked Xiaoxue to give it to Wei Dongzhu.
In addition to inquiring about information about the three Turkic tribes these days, Wei Dongzhu then searched for these people on the list.
After Wei Dongzhu finished speaking, his face sank, and he continued: "Most of them are dead, and two are still missing!"
Ban Sicao slapped the table. , said angrily: "I was definitely silenced!"
Shen Lanxi: "Can they leave anything useful?"
Wei Dongzhu shook his head: "After they joined the Northern Army, they were demoted level by level for various reasons. One of them was named Yan Huai. He is the escort chief, already in the fourth rank, and has the rank of orthodontic general. Because of a retreat error, he was demoted to supervise the construction of the city wall, and was later demoted to a small soldier. There is also a soldier named Sun Qian whose whereabouts are unknown. The document states that the two men accidentally fell into a deep valley while mining stones for building the city wall."
