Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Xu Junfan, Zuo Yi and their group walked back, the atmosphere was gloomy.

Zuo Yi was extremely upset. He had lost so much tax and food. How should he explain to the emperor and the court?

Xu Junfan also frowned and sighed.

Zuo Yi rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.

At that moment, he looked at Lu Wei and others with suspicion, "Why do you carry so much pine oil?"

They only got to know this pine oil when they came to Pingzhou. According to Lu Wei, it was used to start fires.

Lu Wei looked confused, "It's easy to use to start a fire, so I brought it with me."

Zuo Yi pressed him further, "Then tell me why the Xianbei army appeared at that critical moment?"

Lu Wei looked humiliated, "Master Zuo, what do you mean? Do you suspect me of colluding with Xianbei? Do I have great ability or great dignity to instigate the second prince of Xianbei and his army?"

Xu Junfan said nothing and allowed Zuo Yi to do his best.

Zuo Yi: "You don't have to be so excited. I'm just discussing the matter. After all, the appearance of the Xianbei army was too coincidental."

Lu Wei said emotionally, "Why did you encounter the Xianbei army? Don't you have a clue, Mr. Zuo? How many times have I told you not to transport food and leave, but to turn back. Well, if something goes wrong now, it will be blamed on me." Coming up?"

Lu Wei acted like he had been greatly wronged.

Xu Junfan quickly smoothed things over, "Master Zuo, you really can't blame Lu Wei for this. You must have misunderstood him."

Lu Wei smiled gratefully at him.

Zuo Yi simply changed the question, "Then why did you burn so much food?!"

Lu Wei looked strange, "Don't burn it, but keep it for the Xianbei army, so that they can eat and drink enough to slaughter us Dali people?"

Zuo Yi: "In short, you shouldn't burn those tax grains! If you don't burn them, we can still ask Lu Desheng to send troops to snatch the tax grains back. Now, if you burn them with fire, we can even snatch them back." There’s no chance!”

"The tax and grain are still in the same place, just go back and grab them!" Lu Wei suggested sincerely.

Zuo Yi choked.

Lu Wei sneered in his heart and wanted to pass the blame to them?no way!

The people Lu Wei brought were also whispering among themselves.

"This man is just a white-eyed wolf. You shouldn't have persuaded him to leave just now. Let him live and die with taxes and grain, and let him experience the cruelty of the Xianbei army!"

"I really thought I had nine lives. The ferocious bandits ran for their lives when they saw the Xianbei army." goΠb.oγg

The speaker's voice was not loud. Zuo Yi vaguely heard something and immediately glanced over. After those people fell silent, he looked at Lu Wei and said, "I don't care. This time it is your failure to protect the food. You are fully responsible." In your Pingzhou."

"so?"

"You Pingzhou need to pay food tax again!"

Lu Wei sneered in his heart, but still had a simple and easy-going look on his face, "You have to talk to Mr. Lu about this!" Let Mr. Lu attack him!

They were all very stiff on the way back to the Governor's Mansion in Pingzhou.

When they returned to the inn, the two parties parted ways.

Xu Junfan grabbed Zuo Yi and said, "Let's send back the news about the tax and grain robberies first?"

Xu Junfan also had his own little calculation when he said this.If this happened, he would definitely be accused of failing to do things well.Send the news back first, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with them, they are still in Pingzhou, and the punishment will not fall on them at once.By the time they return to Chang'an, the emperor will be more or less relieved.

After Lu Wei returned, he quietly went to the governor's mansion.

That night, several more homing pigeons flew out of Pingzhou Governor's Mansion.At the same time, Lu Songli also summoned Wang Dong.

After General Sun Ming received the emperor's order, he summoned the army and marched north to respond to the imperial court's deployment and support the battlefield.

At this time, he was sitting in the car, studying the information in his hand with a solemn expression.

When he put down the information, he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. This battle was not going to be easy.

Northern Territory, Baihe Town

Fu Jiangong stood in the afterglow of the setting sun and looked at Jinyang, which was occupied by Wuhuan and had planted the flag of the Wuhuan tribe. His whole expression was solemn.

One will be incompetent, exhausting the three armies.

If Jinyang was lost, all his face would be lost for the rest of his life.

He now doesn't know how the court will deal with him next, nor does he know if he has a chance to avenge his past humiliation. He doesn't even know if the court will rehabilitate the Qin family and then come to the north to take over military affairs.

At this time, his bodyguard ran over, "General, support from the imperial court is here!"

When Fu Jiangong heard this, his eyes lit up, he still had a chance!

Changan

After sending support to Beijing and Bingzhou one after another, the imperial court was still gathering supplies to prepare to support Youzhou and Hepingzhou.It's almost done now.

At this moment, news came to Xu Junfan and Zuo Yi that Pingzhou's tax money was robbed by the Xianbei army on its way back to Chang'an.

The two of them didn't mention the bandits, because in their opinion, the grain that the bandits stole was nothing, at most a fraction.

This incident made Song Mo very dissatisfied. He felt that Lu Desheng had no intentions. If he had sent more people to escort the tax grains, the tax grains would not have been robbed.

But at this time, Song Mo was still able to suppress his dissatisfaction.

At this time, someone spread the news in the palace that there was a salt lake in Longcheng, Liaoxi County, Pingzhou.

When Zuo Anmin heard this, he was stunned. What do you mean?He was still hesitating, before he had time...

After Li Jieying and Eunuch Li secretly asked people to spread the rumors to the emperor's ears, he erased the clues and hid his merits and fame.

Song Mo was so angry that he discovered the salt lake but did not report it to the court and mined it privately!

"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Really rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Song Mo ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and directly cut off the weapon support to Pingzhou. Then, he issued another imperial edict to interrogate Lu Desheng and depose Lu Desheng from the position of governor.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battles between Pingzhou and Xianbei and Pingzhou were in a stalemate, and no one could do anything about the other.

In this tense and exciting atmosphere, a rumor slowly spread in Pingzhou.

"I heard that the taxes and grains we paid in Pingzhou this year were robbed in Yangle County."

"Hiss, isn't it? So much food has been robbed?"

"No, no, I heard that Lu Wei, the captain of our Pingzhou grain transportation team, was alert and set a fire and burned part of the grain."

"That's good, that's good. At least all the taxes and grains have not gone to Xianbei."

"What's so good? The tax and grain were robbed, and the imperial envoy put all the blame on us in Pingzhou, saying that we failed to protect the grain, and ordered us in Pingzhou to pay the grain tax again."

The common people were angry.

"Why? We in Pingzhou have already paid taxes and grain once!"

"Yes, I also heard that not long after the tax grains were transported, when Xianbei invaded Youzhou and Pingzhou, Mr. Lu advised the imperial envoys to return, but they didn't listen!"

"This is the imperial envoy's mistake and the imperial court's mistake. They don't bear the responsibility themselves, but they want us, the people of Pingzhou, to make up for their mistakes?"

"Where's Mr. Lu? What did Mr. Lu say?"

"Master Lu must be in a difficult situation too."

"What should we do? Do we have to pay the tax?"

"Pay the hammer, to put it bluntly, after we pay taxes and grain again, what if they encounter the Xianbei army again and are robbed again?"

"It's not that bad luck, is it?"

"I mean what if? Do we have to pay it again? This is simply unreasonable!"
