Although before the door was opened, Pei Lian bitterly said how to deal with the ignorant knocker, but there was nothing he could do except put on a bad face.

The person who came in was Li Daobao. He knocked for a long time, wondering if there was no one there, when he saw the door opened, and it was Mr. Song who opened it himself.As soon as he tilted his head, he could still see Ji Xiang sitting by the screen and drinking tea, but his eyes were not sharper than in the morning when he looked up.

Li Dao Scar involuntarily shuddered, his footsteps were kept to the minimum, he didn't dare to look at his face at all, and only said to Mr. Song: "The little one suddenly remembered something."

Those few words in the morning were deliberately done by Song Yiqing.If you want to know about Yuguan, it must be the easiest way for someone like Li Daobao to dig out a lot.It seems that his words have some use.

His eyes swept over Pei Lian who was still looking uneasy, and he thought to himself that you almost missed a big deal.

Of course, Pei Lian poured herbal tea while listening, and had no time to care about other things.

Song Yiqing was thinking about Pei Lian's wound, and kindly poured him a cup of hot water, but instead met with resentful looks, she could only ask, "What did Brother Scar remember?"

Ever since we parted with this person, Li Daobao always felt that he had overlooked something, so that it was already noon and he was still thinking about the few words he said.It wasn't until I wanted to drag my brother who laughed last night that he didn't know Zijin Yubao to write a family letter to his wife and children far away in Dengzhou, and then I realized something was wrong.

He bowed slightly hesitantly and muttered, "General Zhou didn't write a letter home last month."

"Book from home?"

Song Yiqing asked with a serious expression, and even Pei Lian took a break to listen carefully.

Li Daobao himself is not from Dengzhou, but his wife and children are, and his family is very poor, so he moved to Dengzhou at the beginning.The hometown of General Zhou is also Dengzhou.In the past, as long as you sent letters from home, General Zhou asked him to send them along with his share because he was from the same town.Not every time, but very regularly at the end of each month.However, more than ten days had passed since the end of the last month, and General Zhou didn't ask him to send a letter home.

He slowly talked about the letter from home, and then said the most important one, which was also something that gave chills down the spine after thinking about it.

"It was very strange for Daxing to attack Yuguan that day. As soon as he came up, he used a small number of troops to feign an attack, and the rest were all precise and stormed where the Yuguan defenders were weak."

Of course, it is impossible for Daxing to know the foresight, or he was so lucky that he touched the weak point of Yuguan.Abandoning these, there is only...

Li Dao's face changed, and his breathing became short of breath.He relied on his fate, and he took his life in the battle of Yuguan.But many brothers who joined the army with him died under the scimitar for the safety of Da Heng behind him.

Those who join the army are not afraid of death, but they are most afraid of dying for no reason.

Pei Lian put down the teacup, her expression even worse, but this time it was for Yuguan.Without thinking, he spoke before Song Yiqing, "Please trouble Brother Scar..."

In the evening, when Pei Lian came back from inspecting the grain, grass and military equipment at Pingyang Pass, he entered the room covered in wind and snow, and saw figures behind the screen.Song Yiqing was wearing a sapphire blue double-breasted long jacket with a diamond pattern, and was leaning against the stove to read the manuscript.Seeing him coming, he raised his head and frowned and asked, "Do you still remember how much grain and grass Zhu He escorted to Yuguan?"

The third division is in charge of most of the power, and the Shangshu Province is full of imperial parties. With the restructuring, it is natural to follow the officials to support the new party.Although it is said that it is still the Shangshu Province, but half of the government affairs are also taken care of by the third department.The grain and grass discussion must also go through the three divisions.

Pei Lian took off the cloak covered in snow scum, took off the big black hat on the top of his head and hung it on the screen, walked to the stove and sat down to warm his hands. After thinking for a while, he replied, "20 shi."

After a pause, he added, "Empty the granaries of the two state capitals around Huaijing."

Song Yiqing crumpled up the paper with both hands, suddenly crumpled into a ball and threw it on the floor in a fit of rage.

"It's all gone!"

Liang Dousi and Zhu He died, and he looked at the Pingyangguan military ration accounts, and the 20 shi was obviously not among them.All the grain obtained from the emptying of the granaries of the two state capitals was left in Yuguan and became Daxing's pocket.

1.1 Rice and millet are not easy to come by. They have painstakingly managed and restructured to increase the grain harvest in various places. The people are not yet full, and they hold them in both hands to support the imperial court. The food for the border has become a joke!

Pei Lian picked up the ball of paper that had rolled to the bookshelf and spread it out again, glanced at it from beginning to end, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm more worried about another thing now."

The snow outside was beating against the window paper, and the charcoal fire was about to burn out, and it gradually cooled down.Song Yiqing suppressed her anger and looked sideways, meeting Pei Lian's worried eyes, a chill rose from the soles of her feet for no reason.But the room is obviously warm and tight.

In the silence, Pei Lian said in a low voice, "I only found out after inspecting the military equipment at Pingyang Pass today. There are still tens of thousands of firecrackers in Yuguan."

A thought made them shudder.

Pingyang Pass is at stake!
