On the eighth day of the seventh month, Song Zizhou once again summoned Cong Shan to the palace to discuss, but because the soldiers and horses had not moved the grain and grass first, and there was only less than half a month before July 20, the person who escorted the grain and grass had to find a proper person to do it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It takes more than 200 days to travel from Yanjing to southern Xinjiang, and if there is a problem with the grain and grass, won't he just stuff the handle into the hands of others? !

"This time to escort grain and grass, does my uncle have a suitable candidate in his heart?" Song Zizhou dismissed everyone and asked.

"I really have one in my heart, and no one is more suitable than him this time!"

"Oh?" Song Zizhou stared at Cong Shan tightly, "Uncle said to listen to it." ”

"The backbone general Zuo Ningli, this person is quite extraordinary in terms of troop dispatch and martial arts, and the second prince and the third prince have won him over the years. He is too upright and refuses to join any faction, because he has been excluded from many parties for so many years, and now he is only a four-grade backbone general. Cong Shan got up from the chair and walked to Song Zizhou's side before he continued to whisper, "It is precisely because he is too upright that he will not be bad, and more importantly, the emperor can rest assured that such a person can ......."

Song Zizhou bowed slightly, acquiescing to what Cong Shan said.

"I'm afraid that they will make trouble from it, even if there is Zuo Ningli, I can't prevent it!" Cong Shan said meaningfully.

"We can ...... like this," Song Zizhou turned his mind and said eloquently.

The more Cong Shan listened, the greater the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and it was impossible to prevent it, so it was better to show the enemy weakness and break it in one fell swoop, "Clever plan, wonderful plan!" ”

On the ninth day of July, it is advisable to travel, Zuo Ningli was ordered to escort the baggage and set off immediately.

Zuo Ningli rode on a black horse, wearing a suit of armor and mighty, the red tassels on his hat fluttered in the wind, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his dark face.

He checked the grain and grass for a while, and then walked to the front of the group, pulled the reins, and shouted: "Go!" ”

......

The farther south you go, the hotter it gets, leaving only ruts on the loess-filled official road, and everything else is calm.

At this time, they have been walking for ten days, and they have already left the realm of Yanjing, Zuo Ningli couldn't hold it back, and thought about it, how can this little prince be so young, how can he be so unpredictable, I am afraid that he is a little timid by the women in the palace.

Turning his head, he said to the adjutant general next to him, "Pass the order, and camp in the grove five hundred miles outside Dehu Town tonight!" ”

"Yes!" With both hands clenched into fists, he raised his horsewhip and gave orders one by one.

The two ordinary soldiers glanced at each other, and said that they would let go of the Yanjing realm before acting, and now that they had reached the realm of the Daimyo's Mansion, it was time to make a move.

On the fourth watch, when the people were most sleepy, except for a group of patrolling soldiers, the rest of the people had already slept.

Two sneaky figures came out of the tent, and one of the tall and thin men glanced at the other, and this man immediately understood and walked towards the east.

After a while, fires began to ignite at both ends, and the soldiers on patrol heard Jiao Wen, and then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Go out of the water!" Let's go to the water! ”

Seeing that the task was completed, the two of them took advantage of the fact that they ran back to the tent, gave each other a thumbs up, and were just about to speak, but when they heard a snort, the tent was lifted, and Zuo Ningli walked out, "Come on, take these two people down for me!" ”

A group of soldiers came out from behind the tent and surrounded the two, the two of them back to back, knowing that they were prepared, but they didn't know what was wrong, they looked at each other, and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape this catastrophe today, and they committed suicide by swallowing medicine.

The adjutant general stepped forward and touched the major artery on the necks of the two, and shook his head at Zuo Ningli, "General, it's dead." ”

Zuo Ningli wiped the sweat on his head, and he got up at night, just when he saw the two of them sneaking out of the tent, he quietly followed to take a look, and then he caught it. In the end, I was a little ashamed to be compared to a child.

It's just that whose family is this dead man? As soon as the situation was wrong, he immediately committed suicide by swallowing medicine, without even a trace of hesitation, I am afraid that he has been raising it for at least two years.

Fortunately, the king of Chu had a plan, and the real grain and grass would set off two days later than them, and this batch of grain and grass was just a pretense to lure out the people who were in ambush. If it weren't for King Chu's reminder, wouldn't he have fallen into their way! What a sin it is to burn the grain and grass of a hundred thousand troops! Zuo Ningli was a little angry in his heart, I had no intention of getting involved in the battle between the princes, they didn't let me have a good time like this, so I don't blame me for going against them!

Striding back to the tent, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter, "Someone, send it back to Beijing to the King of Chu, eight hundred miles urgent." The rest rested in place, waiting for the food and grass to arrive! ”

In Beijing, Zhaochun Palace, the king was about to go out of the palace to build a mansion, but the emperor said that he was going to southern Xinjiang, and now the construction time is a little tight, so he will wait for him to come back and build it again.

Song Zizhou read Zuo Ningli's letter, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, not afraid that they would do it, but afraid that they would not do it. Why did this Zuo Ningli suddenly communicate, it is also a good thing to be obedient, this is a tiger general, and it just so happens that he has no cronies in the south.

It's July 19 now, and the army will start tomorrow......
