Most people always bully the weak and fear the hard, and with the deterrence of two strings of human heads on the saddle, the next road will be much more peaceful.

And after going out for a few miles, I saw that there was an army in front of the crowd in the direction of Jizhou, and the people along the way had asked for help from them, but they were all driven under the roadbed, and there were forwards galloping back and forth along the official road, shouting loudly, asking idlers to avoid, not to collide with the ranks of the team, and the violators warned that after a fruitless warning, they were immediately killed!

This murderous appearance suddenly calmed down many Li Shu who still wanted to entangle.

"Is it the army that is going to Jizhou City or Daying to rescue?" Sheng Weiqiao saw it from a distance, so he said to Wu Da Master, "I don't know if it's friend or foe, let's avoid it, right?"

But when Master Wu heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "It should be the county king who ordered him to come and pick you up." ”

She let Sheng Weiqiao and others stop in place, rushed forward alone, said a few words to the front soldier, saw the team a point, let her in, a moment later, two knights accompanied Wu Da to gallop to Sheng Weiqiao, hugged their fists and saluted, and reported that the door was under Xu Lianshan.

Sheng Weiqiao was surprised and said, "Didn't Lian Shan already accompany my son to the sea? Why did you keep your subordinates?"

The two knights explained: "When Captain Xu came to the Western Xinjiang, he brought three thousand brothers, and when he escorted Xiao Shizi before, he was afraid that there would be too many people to attract attention, and the princess of the county and the princess of the county may also have a place to use in the future. ”

"Then it's really just right today!" Sheng Weiqiao was relieved, and worried about Rong Sleeping Crane, who was still in the city, "I think it's okay to have Wu Da Dang's escort at this time, you better continue to go to Jizhou City to pick up Mi Zhen, right?"

But these two people and Wu Da Boss both said that Rong Sleeping Crane didn't need to worry about it, and their task was to protect Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng: "The king of the county is now with General Huaihua, who has been operating in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and there are more people under his command, so they don't need us." ”

He also said, "Meng Boqin is mad, and he will make trouble in Jizhou like this, do you know if he will also send someone to hide in secret, intending to be unfavorable to the princess of the county? ”

Sheng Wei Qiao said in his heart that the future of these people is on Rong Sleeping Crane, they are not in a hurry, presumably Rong Sleeping Crane is indeed not dangerous, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he relied on them.

When she and Xuanyu Feng were surrounded by the army and went to the camp, in Jizhou City, Zhao Shizheng's face was pale, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked the people in the hall: "Why didn't you hear the slightest wind in advance about such a big thing?!Are you dead?!Then why did you know to run out when the fire burned today?!"

No wonder Zhao Shi, who has always been generous, is so angry!

Because the losses in Northern Xinjiang this time are really too great!

The season at this time is the hottest time of the year, even if the weather in the north is not as warm as in the south, the snow will fall in August and September, and in the middle of summer, it will be hot in the end. Recently, it has been sunny for more than ten days, the rain has not fallen, and the flowers and trees are going to be sunburned.

Not to mention that the fires in many places are even poured with oil, a bucket of water goes down, and the oil fire floats on the water and spreads faster!

Important positions such as baggage, ordnance, grain and grass are the hardest hit areas for pouring oil, even if some soldiers are not afraid of death and rush in to rescue with wet bedding, there are very few things that can be snatched out!

However, there are not a few people who are burned because of this.

It is impossible for such heroes not to give them diagnosis and treatment, the problem is that now the treasury is burned and destroyed, and the medicinal materials cannot be matched!

What made Zhao Shi most sad was the loss of the war horse: the fire had just started, and the Jingqi instinctively threw everything away and transferred the war horse next to the camp first.

After the end, some people were left to guard the horses, and the others turned back to participate in firefighting and other things.

This would have been the right thing to do, and it should have been commendable.

However, after being busy for a long time, I received bad news, saying that the war horses showed signs of collective death!

The reason is easy to investigate: among the soldiers in charge of guarding the war horses, there are Meng Boqin's people, who took the opportunity to inspect the surroundings and sprinkled poison on the grass where the war horses were temporarily placed.

Since it was night, everyone was paying attention to the situation on the other side of the camp, so they didn't notice what he was doing for a long time.

Or after the war horse died too much, someone reacted and proposed to search each other, which brought out the spies!

But it was too late at this time: the northern Xinjiang was full of battles, and there were only 40,000 elite horsemen, of which the war horses for their use were claimed to be 200,000 to the outside world, but the actual number was less than 80,000.

Due to the large number of 80,000 war horses, and Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi are not in harmony, of course they will not choose the same grassland when they transfer the war horses. Although the traitors sent by Meng Boqin did not only mix into one grassland, but the situation of each grassland was different, and the degree of success of the spies was also very different, and the grassland where someone was poisoned was found first, and immediately sent someone to notify other places, which somewhat preserved some of the war horses.

However, so far, the result of counting the points is that there are more than 2,000 war horses that have been directly poisoned and have no room for rescue!

Those who can still be rescued, but it is impossible to go to the battlefield in a short period of time, are about 3,000 years old.

If you feel a little unwell, it should be okay to rest for a few days, and there are nearly a thousand!

With such a big loss, not only Zhao Shi was furious, but the generals were also dark-eyed: 6,000 war horses, nearly one-tenth of the number, this is how many years of blood money has been saved in Northern Xinjiang!!

It broke off overnight, and it was even worse than ripping out their hearts!!

"How could it be so much lost?!" When the news first arrived, many people couldn't even believe it at all, and asked one after another, "Even if there are spies who poison them, but the war horses have always been well-fed, these days, because of the chaos in Chang'an, the army is becoming more and more vigilant, and every once in a while they will feed the night grass!"

"Even if tonight, in order to avoid the fire, they are temporarily driven to the pasture for temporary storage, and the horses are greedy and eat the grass on the ground, which is taken advantage of by the traitors!"

"But doesn't it mean that after a few batches of mounts were killed, the clues were discovered?!"

The soldier who reported the news sweated profusely and explained: "It is true that there are not too many war horses that have died because they have eaten the forage sprinkled with poisonous powder, but there are a few pastures that happen to be near the stream, and there are spies who quietly poison the upper reaches of the stream." The horses were roasted by the fire in the camp, and then they were driven all the way to the pasture, and when they were naturally thirsty, they flocked to the place to drink, and then ......"

At this moment, Zhao Shi slapped the table with a "bang", and several subordinates who were responsible for monitoring Meng Boqin's movements trembled: "Meng Boqin has been in frequent contact with Chang'an recently, and his subordinates ...... His subordinates only said that he would go south, but he really didn't expect that he would be so mad that he would collude with Ruru......"

"Even if you waste people think that Meng Boqin has no other thoughts except to wave his army south!" A few generals next to him who were still heartbroken by the loss of their horses interrupted angrily, "Then you should also keep an eye on the movements of his family, not like he died, even the camp was burned, Jizhou was in chaos, and he was confused!!"

"The general trusts you and entrusts you with such a great responsibility!"

"If I knew this was the case, it would have been better to have a few dogs, and I would have been more vigilant than you!!"

Those people didn't dare to raise their heads when they were scolded, and cold sweat was rolling on their foreheads, but they were also very confused: Zhao Shi and Meng Boqin had a bad relationship, but since the news of the Chang'an change came, the two sides were even more wary of each other, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were waiting for each other all day long!

In this case, a few of them also brought people, and they watched the hussar general's mansion with good eyes day and night!

Why didn't you receive any rumors, Meng Boqin had already made a move?

How the hell did he hide from his own side of the eyes?!

They couldn't figure it out, and naturally they couldn't give an explanation, seeing that Zhao Shi and the others were getting more and more angry the more they asked, they were about to order them to be dragged out and beheaded to show the public, at this time, Rong Sleepy Crane, who was watching coldly, said: "Recently, Meng Boqin has been in frequent contact with Chang'an? His father Zheng Hou and others have already died, and a group of brothers have also gone with them. The Queen Mother has never asked about political affairs, and now that she is old, she can't discuss anything with him, so is the problem with Meng Guiyu?"

Zhao Shi and the others were stunned for a moment, and said, "Meng Guiyu?"

Chongxin Hou Meng Guiyu has been emerging in Chang'an since he was a feudal uncle a few years ago.

But in northern Xinjiang, few people have heard of his reputation.

After all, before the Chang'an Change, when Zheng Hou and others were still alive, the Meng family was really prominent, and in comparison, the brothers in the fourth room were really not so noticeable.

Even if Zheng Hou and the others are all dead at this time, the Meng Guiyu brothers have been promoted again and again due to misfortune, and now they hold the power of the forbidden army, their status is extraordinary, and they have the ability to influence the overall situation. Due to the exchange between Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang, he is still a stranger to him.

At this time, Zhao Shi thought for a while, and then hesitated: "I have heard of this person, it is said that although he is a child of the Meng family, because of the early death of his parents, he has not been valued by the clan, and he is not close to Zheng Hou and others. But this time, Zheng Hou and the others were ambushed, and the Meng Guiyu brothers took advantage of the situation...... Counting the age, they are still young and have not yet married. Can you reach out to the northern frontier without knowing it, and still do it so hidden?!"

Rong Mianhe said: "Uncle, you have been in Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar with Chang'an. Although this Chongxin Hou is not as famous as the three Zheng Hou brothers, even Meng Boqin can't compare, if you want to talk about scheming, Meng Boqin may not be his opponent!"

"What's more, it's okay to do other things, colluding with Ruru, Meng Guiyu can't say that he is familiar with the road?"

"When I was in Western Xinjiang earlier, it was the time when Meng Jiaqian reined in the precipice and woke up, but later I didn't inquire about it, in fact, it was not from the instructions of Zheng Hou, but his godson was not strict, so that the heirs of his concubines played the banner?"

"At that time, Zheng Hou found out that there was Meng Guiyu's handwriting behind the scenes, but he had already prepared and came up with some evidence, and finally led the spearhead to Meng Boheng, the step-son of Zheng Hou and the queen's brother, and he got out with the maintenance of the Shu sisters!"

"If it is actually he who is in charge of this matter...... This time it is naturally easy to thread the needle for Meng Boqin and Ruru!"

Zhao Shi frowned and said: "Even so, but this time Meng Boqin acted in response, and he concealed everything from my subordinates, which is really suspicious!"

He was about to answer, but he had already diverted the topic, "But now is not the time to pursue these, we must quickly stabilize the situation, lest Ruru take advantage of the situation!"

Some soldiers came out to ask for battle: "General! Meng Boqin is mad! If he is allowed to leave calmly after ruining our western frontier, where will the face of our western frontier army be left behind? The last general asks the general and the last general to gather their subordinates and immediately go to hunt down and kill !!."

This person made a start, and all the generals responded, and they all asked to catch up and carry the heads of Meng Boqin's family back to wash away the shame.

However, when Zhao Shi heard this, he was silent, and after a while, he reluctantly agreed to the person who was the first to ask for battle, and told him to be cautious: "Don't fall for Meng Boqin's plan because of anger, we have suffered heavy losses this time, but this is just a little bit of money! If there is any further loss, once Ruru attacks, the consequences will be unimaginable!!

In this way, the request for war was distributed, and the matters were arranged for everyone to clean up the aftermath.

After a quick knife to cut through the mess, Zhao Shi looked at Rong Sleeping Crane with a complicated expression, and said, "Mizhen, you come, I have something to discuss with you alone!"
