The situation was urgent, and when he returned to the Cangcao Office, Jiang Shu ordered an inventory of the materials in the treasury, shipment of grain and grass for the military, and at the same time took out some cloth and silk to buy grain from various grain shops in the city.

A series of orders were issued, and the officials who had just been idle for a few days became busy again.

Jiang Shu himself was busy in and out, worried that the staff under his staff would make mistakes, so he would personally intervene in every link.

Under the effect of top and bottom, the efficiency of the entire warehouse is surprisingly high, and the materials to be sent to Miryang and Bailanxing have been decorated within two days.

His task has been completed, but looking at the convoy ready to go, Jiang felt inexplicably uneasy.

He didn't make a detailed outline of the first part of the Miryang battle. He only knew that the capture of Xingjun took place in mid-May, and it's already April [-]th.

In other words, in less than a month, Miryang will be breached.

this is too fast...

Miryang is not only a county city, but also the state seat of Xunzhou today. How could such a heavily guarded city be captured so quickly?

What's more, the siege war should be a protracted war. As long as the defense is proper, even if the Xiongnu has [-] soldiers, it can take a while, and it shouldn't be defeated so quickly!

Jiang Shusi thought about it, and felt that unless the governor of Qin didn't want to defend himself and opened the city gate to let the enemy troops in, the only reason was the lack of food in the city.

Could it be that something went wrong with the batch of grain collected from Yanqiao, and it couldn't be sent to Miryang?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Shu suddenly felt bad.

This is the material that was taken out of half the treasury. If something really happened, he, the warehouse manager, would probably be the first person to be pissed off.

No, just in case, this matter must be prepared with both hands.

After pacing back and forth in the office for a while, Jiang Shu finally made a decision, turned around and went out, heading towards the Bing Cao Office.

The setting sun is like blood, and the colorful brilliance of the sunset makes the distant mountains and near mountains condense into a dense black color.

A convoy of hundreds of people walked silently on the official road between the valleys. Due to the long journey, the officers and soldiers escorting the grain and grass all looked tired, walked heavily, and closed their lips tightly, as if they had exhausted even the strength to speak. .

The team leader narrowed his eyes to look at the sun, and shouted loudly: "The county town will be three miles away, so cheer up."

A Shi Chang trotted forward, leaned over to the team leader and whispered: "Team leader, can you let the brothers stop and rest for a while to drink water, everyone can't move anymore."

The team leader glanced back and saw that the soldiers were really listless, frowned, and sighed: "Okay, rest here for a quarter of an hour."

After receiving the instruction, the chief immediately turned around and shouted: "The team leader has ordered you to stop and rest for a quarter of an hour."

Hearing this, the county soldiers immediately relaxed and sat down to drink water and rest without paying attention.

Guo Ping wiped his sweat, took out his water bag and took a sip of water, and said to Liu Wu who was sitting next to the grain cart: "This journey is quite urgent."

"No way, the war is urgent."

Mentioning the war in the Northland, Guo Ping sighed: "I don't know if Xingjun can survive this time, my uncle's family is all in Miryang..."

As he spoke, he picked up the water bag and took a few sips, as if he wanted to drink the clear water out of strong alcohol.

Liu Wu was already drowsy leaning against the grain truck, and Guo Ping saw that he seemed to be quite comfortable leaning on it, so he wanted to ask him to move a seat for him.

Just as he was about to speak, a little fire suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.

How can there be fire in this mountain?

Guo Ping thought that he was dazzled from exhaustion, so he rubbed his eyes and looked intently.

After looking at it, he realized that the fire was not just one point, but many points, and those fire points were rapidly moving towards the foot of the mountain, approaching them.

Guo Ping felt a little ominous, and quickly pushed Liu Wu: "Old Liu, look over there, something is coming!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Wu opened his eyes in a daze, and looked in the direction he pointed.

After a while, his face suddenly changed: "This is... a bandit! It's a bandit!"

"There are bandits!"

With a shout across the convoy, chaos quickly swept through the calm col.

·

"Report-"

In the twilight, a soldier rushed into the tent and knelt down to report: "Captain, something is wrong. Yanqiao's grain delivery convoy was robbed by bandits."

"What did you say!" Xun Ling got up abruptly, staring at the other party sharply: "The bandits? Why are the bandits so rampant, daring to rob the army of food and grass?"

The soldier was sweating profusely: "According to the soldiers who escaped from the county, there are hundreds of bandits. Most of them have yellow beards and hair, and deep-set eyes. They seem to be a group of... barbarians."

"It's a Jie person." Hua Xin opened his majestic eyes and answered the words calmly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was dignified, as if an invisible flame was burning.

The food and grass were robbed, or they were robbed by the Hu people in Yanqiao County, this is a naked contempt and provocation to them!

Xun Ling couldn't describe the shame in his heart, his chest heaved for a while, but finally he couldn't restrain himself from slapping the table angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Who doesn't know that Jiehu is a lackey of the Huns, this must be another conspiracy of Huyan old slave."

Hua Xin was also furious, but he has been with the army for more than ten years, and he has experienced no matter how serious the situation is, he quickly calmed down and said: "This has happened, the captain needs to calm down, think about the robbing of food and grass, How to get through this difficult time."

Xun Ling twitched the corner of his mouth: "How to get through this difficult time? Could it be that General Hua still wants to collect food from the people, making the hungry people cry?"

Knowing that he was angry, Hua Xin just waited quietly. After Xun Ling gradually calmed down, he persuaded: "The captain still has [-] soldiers under his command, so don't mess around."

"I know, I just hate myself for not thinking of it..."

Xun Ling closed his eyes, exhaled and sat back to his original position, and said to the kneeling soldiers, "Search around for the escaped government soldiers and ask them for details of the attack."

"promise."

Seeing him regain his sanity, Hua Xin felt relieved.

The son of the general is good at everything, but he is a little young and energetic, and needs to hone his mind more.

Hua Xin took a sip of the tea soup, and was about to talk with him about the grain and grass in detail, when another announcement came from outside the tent.

After a while, another soldier came to the tent, knelt down and raised the wooden box in his hand: "Captain, a letter from County Magistrate Cui."

"Cui Jingsheng?" Xun Ling frowned slightly, raised his hand and said, "Bring it to me."

The soldier handed in the box and left the camp.

Xun Ling opened the box and saw two letters inside.

The letters were thick and the other thin, and he opened the thin one first.

Hua Xin waited quietly, ready to wait for him to finish reading before talking about other things, but after a while, he saw Xun Ling's frown suddenly relaxed, and he slapped the desk and said, "Good job!"

Hua Xin raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help being curious about what was written in the letter, which could make Xun Ling, who was still immersed in anger and regret, feel better.

However, Xun Ling didn't give the letter to him after reading it, instead he opened another letter and read it.

Halfway through, he clapped his hands again and applauded: "This is a great plan!"

Hua Xin couldn't calm down at last, and asked: "The captain is so happy, what good news is there?"

Xun Ling put down the letter, smiled and said: "The crisis of grain and grass has been resolved. The letter said that only a few bags on the outside of the robbed grain truck were grain, and the rest were fake grain and grass pretending to be soil, and the real grain truck has been built along with the dock." Bi's team arrived in Zhaonan County."

Hua Xin reacted for a while, and then shook his head with emotion: "Jiang Lingyin must be far-sighted."

Hearing this, Xun Ling's expression was a bit strange, and he glanced at the letter paper in his hand that recorded the detailed quantity of materials. At the end of the letter, a name that was beyond his expectations was signed.

"This matter was not done by the lord, but by the lord's son."

"Jiang Xianyun?"

Xun Ling shook his head: "It's Jiang Shu."

Speaking of this name, Xun Ling felt a little complicated. In his impression of Jiang Shu, he still had the image of a gaudy and immature young man. He didn't expect that this crisis could be resolved only by the trick he proposed.

"This son is really smart." Hua Xin praised lightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please Captain, please read the letter with me."

Xun Ling handed him two pieces of letter paper. Seeing that there was still something in the envelope, he reached out to take it, but found out a squarely folded piece of...silk?

Why is there such a thing in the letter?

Xun Ling frowned suspiciously, and unfolded the silk, only to find that there were many patterns painted on it.

"Wait, this is..."

Xun Ling's face changed suddenly, and he quickly spread it evenly on the desk paper.

He held a candle and looked closely, and saw an extremely detailed map of Xunzhou painted on the silk!

The author has something to say:

A few names that came up.

Cui County Magistrate, Cui Ming, courtesy name Jingsheng.

Jiang Shu's second elder brother, Jiang Xian, is named Xianyun.

Shu Zai has not reached the crown yet, there will be words in the future, hehe!
