Fan Pingzhi, the right political advisor, suddenly said, "Sir, my subordinates have recently discovered that the Pingnan Army's rations have far exceeded expectations."
In fact, they had known about this for a long time. Since the Pingnan Army captured Xingyuan Mansion, its military strength has been increasing. However, they did not pay attention to it before, but now it has become intriguing.
Just because Lingyun captured Qinzhou and Fengxiang.
Even though they are just two cities, they can be regarded as an unparalleled achievement.
This move is no different from opening up a new territory.
If they could get a little credit, it would be enough to make up for the previous sins of losing Jingzhao Mansion and other cities, but they didn't get any.
Fan Zizhen even wanted to stop Ling Yun's plan, but the war was not under Fan Zizhen's control, so he let it go.
When Fan Zizhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Master Cai, is this possible?" Fan Zizhen looked at Cai Hongyuan and asked. It seemed that he wanted to tamper with the military rations.
Cai Hongyuan was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Fan Pingzhi to suddenly say this. He thought to himself that the Pingnan Army's rations exceeded expectations. Hasn't this been made public a long time ago?
When the Pingnan Army captured Xingyuan Mansion, he reported the matter to Fan Zizhen. The latter did not respond at first, but now Fan Pingzhi suddenly mentioned it, and Fan Zizhen personally intervened. He was just moved by seeing Ling Yun's unparalleled achievements.
He was jealous, so he wanted to give Ling Yun some military rations to make Ling Yun beg him.
In this way, he can also get some credit.
"What an old fox." Cai Hongyuan cursed in his heart.
"Sir, there is indeed something..." Cai Hongyuan answered truthfully without giving an explanation.
After all, to give an explanation would be to slap Fan Zizhen in the face.
No matter what, as long as Fan Zizhen is the governor, he cannot disobey the other party's decision.
What's more, if he wants to be reinstated, he has to ask Fan Zizhen to make sure that the other party is not dissatisfied with him.
"In this case, let's act in accordance with the imperial decree and wait for the governor to report to the imperial court before making a decision." Fan Zizhen said after thinking, as if he really acted impartially in accordance with the imperial decree.
Why didn't you say it before?
Treacherous villain!
Cai Hongyuan muttered in his heart.
After the meeting, Cai Hongyuan secretly informed Ling Yun of the matter.
Why did he do this?
Because he wants to make good friends with Ling Yun.
Ling Yun had already made great achievements by recovering places such as Xingyuan Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion, and now he had recovered the two cities of Qinzhou and Fengxiang, achieving the feat of opening up territory. One can imagine his achievements.
If we don’t make good friends now, when will we wait?
"Ling Shuai, it's bad. Cai Hongyuan sent a letter saying that old guy Fan Zizhen only gave us military rations for 30,000 people. The rest needs to be reported to the court and can only be allocated after the court agrees..." Li Jianhui received the letter sent by Cai Hongyuan.
Immediately informed Ling Yun.
After finishing speaking, he said angrily, "Ling Shuai, that old guy Fan Zizhen is really good at bullying people."
Ling Yun smiled slightly when he heard this.
"No problem!"
Ling Yun didn't pay special attention to this matter.
"Even if Fan Zizhen does not provide a grain of military ration, our soldiers will not starve."
The reason why Ling Yun was so confident was because when they recaptured the city, the enemy army dropped a lot of food, enough to feed the 60,000 Confederate army for half a year, so he was not worried at all.
"Ling Shuai, although we have food, the old guy Fan Zizhen does this, which makes people feel disgusted. He fails to achieve anything but fails. I really want to kill him with one knife." Li Jianhui was very dissatisfied with Fan Zizhen and wished he could kill him with one knife.
the other party.
Ling Yun smiled and said nothing.
Xixia sent 30,000 troops, mainly to support Qinzhou and Fengxiang. Who would have thought that when the reinforcements were about to reach Qinzhou Prefecture, they suddenly heard the bad news that the two places had been lost.
Li Renxiao, the leader of the reinforcements, listened to the soldiers' report. He was stunned on the spot and remained silent for a long time without reacting.
"What did you say?" Li Renxiao sat on the horse and looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground. He thought he was hallucinating because he had just heard the soldiers answer that Qinzhou and Fengxiang had been lost...
"You said, Qinzhou and Fengxiang were lost?" Li Renxiao asked with a trembling voice, his eyes burning brightly.
"Report to the Third Prince that Qinzhou and Fengxiang have been lost..." the soldier answered tremblingly. Even with his head lowered, he could still feel Li Renxiao's disbelief.
But that's the truth, and he told the truth.
However, he was fearful and uneasy, worried that Li Renxiao would suddenly become furious and kill him without saying a word.
People in high positions will always go on a killing spree because they are unhappy. Now that Qinzhou and Fengxiang have been lost, Li Renxiao is bound to be dissatisfied. After all, the Qinzhou defender is one of his people.
"This is impossible!" Li Renxiao suddenly roared.
He didn't want to believe that in less than a week, how could Qinzhou and Fengxiang fall one after another?
"you are lying?"
"Come here, drag him down and chop him down!" Li Renxiao put down the soldier and let people read the report.
"Third Prince, spare your life. I didn't lie. What I said is true. It's absolutely true..."
Faced with the soldiers' pleading, Li Renxiao turned a deaf ear.
"The army continues to advance!"
After the soldiers were beheaded, Lee In-hyo continued to advance.
After walking less than twenty miles, another soldier came to report. The news was the same as the previous soldiers, with the same content.
That means Qinzhou and Fengxiang were lost.
With the report from the soldiers in front, Li Renxiao was not too surprised this time. He only said coldly, "Kill!"...
After killing two people in a row, Li Renxiao was not happy at all.
Less than ten miles away, we encountered soldiers again and reported.
This time, Li Renxiao was silent.
He didn't kill them all like the two soldiers before.
The news one after another forced him to believe that Qinzhou and Fengxiang had been lost.
But he still didn't want to believe that it had only been a few days?
Qian's army captured both areas of Qinzhou.
"Is Gan Jun really that powerful?" Li Renxiao whispered.
"Master, would you like me to go and check the situation in person?" Wu Zixiong, Li Renxiao's personal bodyguard, suddenly asked in a low voice.
"No need, just go and take a look and you'll find out."
Li Renxiao thought, no matter whether Qinzhou was lost or not, he would know the truth wherever he went.
In fact, before they reached the place, they encountered soldiers retreating from Qinzhou on the road.
"Third Prince~" A miserable voice came. Li Renxiao heard the sound and looked around, and found that it was Li Yuanqing, the chief general of Qinzhou city guard.
Li Renxiao's face turned dark when he saw this person.
"Third Prince, my subordinates are guilty..." Qinzhou fell, and Li Yuanqing knew that he had committed a serious crime, so when he saw Li Renxiao, he immediately knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake. Only Li Renxiao could save his life.
Li Renxiao's face was gloomy and he stared at Li Yuanqing. He really wanted to kill this useless guy with a knife.
"Get up and tell me what's going on?" Li Renxiao said while suppressing his anger.
