Chapter 517: Unexpected Joy

Out of the palace Li Yuqing went straight to the capital Li Ji general store, and when she got there, she asked the shopkeeper to catch the carrier pigeon that was specially bred and contacted with the various stores below, she quickly wrote a letter and stuffed it in the pigeon's foot ring, and watched the shopkeeper let it go, Li Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuqing's letter was sent to the shopkeeper of the first city in the capital, and the letter written by Li Yuqing was divided into two parts, the first part was that after receiving the letter, he quickly prepared a cart of marching grain and grass to the next town, and so on until it was delivered to the border pass, and then continued to send the letter in the direction of the border pass, and at the same time wrote another letter to send it in other directions according to the above part, and notified the shopkeeper of Li Ji in other directions to do so.

The second part is that the shops in the towns near the border pass will do their best to buy grain and grass and send it to the soldiers guarding the border pass.

After Li Yuqing left, the emperor quickly wrote a letter, and then asked the little eunuch next to him to call the messenger who had brought the letter from the border pass before, and handed the letter to him after calling him, and asked him to quickly send it back to the border pass and hand it over to Commander Li Wenbo.

What was written in the letter was that it would not be long before Li Yuqing's people arrived one after another to transport the grain and grass, and asked him to pay attention to the collection, and the soldiers and soldiers of the imperial court would arrive later, so that they could use the grain and grass sent to hold on first, and as long as this difficulty passed, everyone would be rewarded.

Li Yuqing's flying pigeon was faster than the messenger's, but it wasted a lot of time by passing from station to station, so when her messenger arrived in the town near the border pass, the messenger arrived at about the same time.

The shopkeeper of the town near the border pass excitedly started to prepare after receiving Li Yuqing's flying pigeon message.

In fact, when Li Yuqing didn't pass the book over, they also prepared some grain and grass to send over, but the people who lived near this pass did not prepare a lot spontaneously.

The border pass is said to be the barrier of the Xia country, in fact, it is the barrier of those who live here, if the border pass is really broken, then they are the first to suffer, after learning the situation of the border pass, how can they let it go, so they have donated some spontaneously from door to door, which is also the reason why the soldiers can hold on for so long without food and grass.

Without Li Yuqing's order, they all sent it to the border gate, and now with Li Yuqing's order, they are naturally more active, so they work very hard, shouting around the street, and the people who have surplus grain see that they give money to buy and send to the border pass, and they send it to them one after another, and they have collected a lot in just one day.

They didn't delay and sent people directly to the border gate.

Besides, at the border pass, the chief and deputy commanders Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun just got the holy decree written by the emperor and read it, they were all confused, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that the emperor was purely appeasing them.

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of war horses at the border passes, not to mention much, as long as they only eat one meal a day, how much grain and grass they need for this meal, depending on how much Li Yuqing can send them, can they consume one meal, the emperor even told them to let them use those grain and grass to hold on until the grain and grass given by the court arrives, and their hearts are almost cold.

In fact, this can't blame them, they have been guarding the border gates, and rarely contact their families, although they know the existence of Li Yuqing's niece, but they don't know much about Li Yuqing, because the family didn't tell them, so when they first heard the emperor say this, it was naturally difficult to believe.

When Li Yuqing approached the grain and grass in the border pass town and sent it over first, Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun went to take a look, and saw that it was really not enough for a meal of grain and grass, and they had no other expression except a wry smile, but as the days passed, the expressions on their faces slowly became richer.

Because with the passage of time, the shops in the back have also transported the grain and grass one after another, so in this way, the grain and grass sent to the border soldiers are getting more and more day by day, and slowly they can not only eat, but also have surplus grain.

Looking at the grain and grass piled up in the warehouse, as well as the intermittent delivery to this side, Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun, who are not smiling on weekdays, have smiles on their faces every day for the first time, so that the soldiers who are used to seeing their cold faces think that they have fallen into evil spirits when they see them.

Li Wenbo and Li Wenhyun looked at the soldiers, looked at their eyes, and didn't care at all, there was no way, who told them to have such an excellent niece, who actually relied on their own strength to feed an army of hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of horses, when they thought of this, they couldn't help but want to laugh.

Because of the supply of grain and grass and the emperor's holy decree, they were full of motivation one by one, and quickly stabilized the situation, after the addition of a large number of grain and grass and supply soldiers and horses, they easily turned defeat into victory, and after chasing all the way, they were careless, and the invading foreign country was destroyed, so that Xia Guo had another territory, this result was not expected by everyone.

After the invading foreign country was destroyed, Zhang Shucheng, who was hiding there, naturally had nowhere to hide, and was soon arrested.

According to normal logic, because of Zhang Shucheng's reasons, many innocent soldiers died, and Zhang Shucheng will definitely be dealt with by military law and beaten to death with sticks after being arrested.

However, the emperor ordered to bring Zhang Shucheng back to Beijing, and cut thousands of knives to pay tribute to those, because of the soldiers who were killed by him, so Zhang Shucheng was not killed, but it was not much better, and there was almost one breath left after being killed.

After the victory, the border gate ushered in temporary tranquility, Li Wenbo and Li Wenhyun arranged it at the border pass, and took Zhang Shucheng back to Beijing to resume his life.

In the past, the two of them would not have left at the same time, but now it is different, first, they have not been home for many years, and they take this opportunity to come back to have a look, and second, they are too curious about what kind of person their niece who can support the entire border soldiers on her own.

When they went back, they started to whip up all the way, but they didn't go for two days, and Zhang Shucheng, who still had a breath left, almost burped, and then they remembered that they still had a burden, so they didn't dare to go too hurriedly on the rest of the way, for fear that they would accidentally let him die halfway and go back to be bad, so they walked for more than half a month before they arrived in the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, they first sent someone back, reported it, and then entered the palace to report to the emperor.

After entering the palace, Zhang Shucheng was taken away by the guards and imprisoned in the prison, and they were led to see the emperor.

The emperor was in the imperial study, and was glad to see them coming, and before they could speak, he rewarded them with a lot of things.

There is no way how can the emperor not be happy, the foreign country that Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun destroyed this time, but they have harassed them at the border for many years, this group of foreigners is very cunning, and they come to make trouble every once in a while, once they go out of the city to fight back, they will collect their troops and retreat, and they will run back not long after they collect their troops and return to the city, so they are very irritable again and again, and this time they can eradicate them in one fell swoop It really takes Xia Guo in addition to a big trouble.

After the emperor rewarded them, he gave them a seat, and talked with them about a lot of topics about the border pass, and heard that they took care of the border pass very well, the emperor couldn't help nodding with satisfaction, the time was very fast, and an hour passed in a blink of an eye, thinking that they had not come back for a long time, and the people in the General's Mansion must be waiting for them, so they let them go back to the house first to gather with their families.
