Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 291 The Wronged Good Man
The torches were lit to illuminate the cave walls, and they went down the corridor to the cave hall where the bonfire was lit.

The woman laughed and handed cloth soaked in hot water to the returning soldiers to wipe the blood stains and dust on their faces.Some wounded soldiers took the initiative to stand up and greeted Li Xian and his party. They stood upright, showing a bit of reverence.

Even the previously sluggish girl became alive after hearing the news of the revenge of the great revenge, and embarrassedly went to serve the returning warriors with porridge and water.

In the entire cave, the previous desolation and sadness were swept away, and there was more of a thriving atmosphere.

Li Xian, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao sat on the first stone slab with the big horse golden sword as a matter of course, holding boiling hot gruel, and ate it up and down.

Zhang Yi, who suffered the most serious skin trauma, acted like a chatterbox at the moment, playing the role of a storyteller, and vividly told the surrounding people about the experience he heard last night, which caused waves of commotion, and looked at this person from time to time. Bian's expression also changed.

Cheng Chu silently took a mouthful of porridge, elbowed Li Xian next to him, and asked.

"You really plan to do that? Are we going to deal with a hundred thousand troops in this open field?"

"This fucking sounds so exciting!"

A hand knocked on Cheng Chumo's head, and Li Xian frowned in response.

"You're not stupid, boy, why did you suffer from these fanatic symptoms this time?"

"Even if our soldiers are all made of iron, we can't bear the beatings of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the trampling of hundreds of thousands of horseshoes!"

"There is a saying that if you can't provoke, you can hide."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Huaidao, who was holding a pottery bowl to eat, suddenly raised his head, and the tip of his nose was still smeared with the water stains left by the porridge.

"So, brother Li has no countermeasures?"

The slightly excited figure immediately attracted the attention of several people, and Cheng Chumo waved his hand apologetically, indicating that it was nothing serious.

Seeing that everyone was addicted to Zhang Yi's narration again, Qin Huaidao just hit Qin Huaidao's head.

"What? Your kid hasn't been slapped on the head by Brother Li yet, why can't you turn around?"

"Isn't this fucking hiding a trick?"

Ok?
Qin Huaidao was a little dazed, his eyes drifted away from the two figures in a daze, and he scratched his head for a long time.

"Is this... also a conspiracy?"

After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Li Xian wiped his mouth and explained quite confidently.

"Why not? This is called a tactical detour...creating an opportunity for the army."

……

Lingzhou.

Five miles outside the city.

Three straddle horses stood on the hill, looking at the mighty army protruding from the valley, with great joy on their faces.

Zhou Mu Qin Feng pulled the rein and sighed sincerely.

"It's finally here! Follow me to meet the army!"

The war horse went down the hill and went straight towards the mighty army.

Li Jing, who was on the opposite side, rode his horse and walked slowly at the head of the army. The gray-haired lieutenant beside him raised his hand to block the sun, squinted at the three horsemen who were rushing forward and made a sound in doubt.

"Now the reception has been pushed forward to five miles from the city? Is it a little too enthusiastic?"

The joking words fell into Li Jing's ears, and the latter snorted softly with a look of seriousness on his calm face.

"Along the way, refugees are everywhere, and there are often scenes of wild wolves and dogs eating, which makes people worry."

"The gates of all the cities are closed, and most of them are reduced to empty cities. Even these refugees are not taken in, and they are allowed to flee to the east, regardless of life or death."

"Officials are not for the people, but they are so flattering to receive the imperial army. They don't look half like their parents' officials."

After some words were spoken, the two generals beside him were also silent.

This was indeed a tragic situation during the march. I also asked many refugees, and each of them seemed to be extremely indifferent to the court. Even if this army crossed the border, it seemed that they did not show the joy of being rescued before.

After the words fell, the three riders had already rushed to the front of the army.

Zhou Mu Qin Feng got off his horse, with joy on his face, he bowed to Li Jing with cupped hands and fists.

"The governor of Lingzhou has met Li Shuai, General Cheng, and General Li."

Ha ha.

A contemptuous smile came from the back of the dark horse.

Li Daozong looked at the respectful figure, squinted his eyes and looked down.

"Qin Feng?"

"As far away as the Imperial City of Chang'an, I heard that you are a man of high integrity, you have made great achievements in governing a corner, and you have been praised by the local people."

"Why do you see refugees everywhere in your Lingzhou territory, and no one guards the cities?"

"You have the guts to deceive your superiors and falsely report your achievements!"

puff.

Qin Feng and the two people behind him were caught by the stern shout, and they knelt down hastily.

He bowed his head and bowed his hands to the royal family members on horseback, complaining with a sad face.

"General Li's lessons learned, it's not that the lower officials have done nothing, but it's because of the unspeakable concealment."

"Now that the western region is corrupt, most of the people in Liangzhou have been massacred and looted. It can be said that they are living in hell."

"The people of Lingzhou on the border are all afraid of the barbarians attacking the village at night, so they scattered in panic. The lower officials set up porridge and dry food to help them, but the people are unwilling to stay, for fear that the guards will not be able to fight against hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Cavalry pawns, I hope General Li will investigate clearly."

Although they have seen the tragic situation of starvation in the wasteland, they all thought that the current situation is so serious!
What is even more unexpected is that these barbarians are so hostile that they will kill the people in Tang Tu.

Wronging the wrong person, Li Jing's originally stern face softened a little, and he waved.

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter again."

"Responding to the army, you only need to be near the outside of the city, why Qinzhou Mu..."

Before the words fell, Qin Feng got up and bowed.

"Nowadays, the surrounding people are quite resentful about the loss of the border town. In addition, the Tuyuhun scouts are frequently traveling around the Lingzhou border. The lower officials are doing this for the sake of unnecessary trouble for the army."

Reaching out and pointing at the back of the hill, Qin Feng turned his head and continued.

"There has been prepared food, porridge, and drinking water supplies for the army, enough for seven days."

"Li Shuai, generals, follow me."

The number of seven days is not a decimal number. The faces of the three generals changed slightly, and they looked at each other in surprise.

It is normal to have a day's supply in normal times.

Seven days?

This is not a small consumption!
Li Jing galloped up to follow the figure leading the way, frowning slightly.

"These grains... enough for seven days?"

"Xiaguan, that is to say that some wealthy and big families who have been relocated in the city have donated voluntarily and have not been forced to requisition."

hiss~
Li Jing seemed to have some clarity in his heart, and he was even more sure that he had wronged the state shepherd, and his face immediately improved a little.

"Then thank you Qin Zhoumu."

There was a pause in the words, Li Jing turned his head to look at the figure beside him, lowered his voice and asked.

"Is there any news about the hundred-member tribe?"

When mentioning the tribe of hundreds of people, Qinzhou Mu raised a smile on his face as if he was elated, and cupped his hands.

"As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, so the next official congratulates General Li."

"Your son Li Xian has shown his might in the vast fields of Liangzhou, he has shown the aura of a soldier for our Tang Dynasty, and even confused the entire army, so that until now, there has been no news of the Tuyuhun army's conquest. "
