Chapter 260: Where Are People Hidden?
(Two more!) Ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions...... All kinds of requests! )
Liu Jinyun and Shen Du and their entourage have nothing to gain, and it's not just here. Next, they ran into walls everywhere in Xiangyangwei, and everything they did was not as they wished.
When the account books were burned, several soldiers of Xiangyangwei admitted it, admitting that their poor supervision caused the fire; And Meng Qiang cured the sins of these soldiers, and promised to make up the account books as much as possible, and asked Liu Jinyun and his party to wait a few more days.
The account books that have been filled in are naturally leaky, and even if you check the accounts again, you will not get any results.
Of course, there are a number of money and goods allocated by the imperial court to Xiangyangwei every quarter. But after these money and goods arrive in Xiangyangwei, how to use them, how much they are used, and how much is left, these must be based on the account books recorded by Xiangyangwei.
According to the regulations, Xiangyangwei's account books should also be sent to the Jingzhao Military Department every quarter, but the account books sent to the Jingzhao Military Department, of course, the number is done without flaws, and it is not meaningful to use it as a standard to review.
The key is Xiangyang's own record, Liu Jinyun didn't expect that Xiangyangwei would dare to fight against the court so clearly! However, even if Xiangyangwei's crime is cured now, except for a few innocent soldiers who have been pushed out, Xiangyangwei will not be affected at all!
Thinking of this, Liu Jinyun was so angry that he wanted to kick Meng Qiang a few times, but later he gave up because of Meng Qiang's figure and force. However, this anger could not be extinguished, but accumulated more and more as time progressed.
The 30,000 soldiers at the foot of Long Mountain could not be detected at once, but there were nearly 70,000 soldiers in 12 other places. It must be checked.
Liu Jinyun, Su Shiyong and Shen Du divided into three routes, and each of them rushed to these twelve places with some officials and tiger soldiers, and after a few days, they still found nothing!
In the end, these three people met, and when they combined the results of these days, they found that the number of Xiangyang guards was exactly 100,000, no more, no less. And these 100,000 people can be paired with the roster one by one, even if there is a soldier who looks at the wrong age, the soldier says "subordinates look old". And the soldiers around him still said vigorously, "This is what he looks like when he is a teenager." This left Liu Jinyun and others with nothing to say.
The number and roster of these soldiers are perfect. One guard, 100,000 people, there is no mistake or omission. It sounds incredible. But it just happened. This is the last thing Liu Jinyun and others want to happen.
Naturally, they didn't want Xiangyang Wei to be redundant, and it stands to reason that the current result is what they want to see the most, but they all know it. This result is fake. Every year, Xiangyangwei's assets are consumed more and more, and more and more money is applied to the imperial court, how can this Xiangyangwei only have 100,000 people? It is conceivable that there must have been soldiers who were hidden.
Such a perfect result can only show one thing: that is, Xiangyang Wei is unfathomable!
Until now, Luo Bingguang has not appeared, so he sent a Meng Qiang to toss. But now it seems that it doesn't matter whether Luo Bingguang appears or not. This Xiangyang Wei seems to be an impregnable wall, and Liu Jinyun and others can't touch its inside at all.
If you want to open the mouth of Xiangyang Wei, the easiest way now is to find those soldiers who are hidden.
"My lord, this is looking for a needle in a haystack, it's too unfeasible. There are many deep mountains and dense forests in Xiangyang, Luo Bingguang only needs to hide the soldiers in these places, with our current manpower, it is impossible to find them. Su Shiyong shook his head, thinking that it was impossible to find those soldiers.
Hearing this, Liu Jinyun's face was very gloomy. How could he not know this truth? But what else can be done now?
The emperor asked them to order troops, but he didn't want a false number. Liu Jinyun felt extremely aggrieved by this result.
"From Fu Tong's performance to the time we came quickly, the time was actually very tight. In such a short period of time, Xiangyangwei responded in a hurry, how could he be flawless? Shen Du asked suspiciously.
Responding in a hurry should be full of mistakes and omissions, but it is hard to find loopholes. The most critical books have been burned, and the most important soldiers are left to hide. Even if it's a needle in a haystack, fish them out!
"No...... Luo Bingguang will not hide his soldiers in the deep mountains and dense forests. In the area of Xiangyangwei, only Longshan is the tallest, and the rest are small hills, so it stands to reason that there are not many people to hide. Besides, with so many soldiers in need of supplies, Luo Bingguang is not afraid to leave clues? So, these soldiers must be hiding somewhere else. After thinking about it, Shen Du added.
With so many soldiers, they need food and clothing, and if Luo Bingguang hides them in the deep mountains and dense forests, he needs to send them supplies. If this is the case, they only need to pay attention to the movements of Xiangyangwei to know where those soldiers are hiding.
Would Luo Bingguang be so careless? Absolutely not, so the hiding place of these soldiers must not need their additional supplies.
Where would such a place be? Liu Jinyun, Su Shiyong and Shen Du thought about it, but they still couldn't think of it.
"Summoning everyone to discuss, one person counts the short, the other counts the long, and see what everyone's judgment is." Finally, Su Shiyong said.
Since they can't figure out where to go, let's gather our strength and see if it helps things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the mansion of General Xiangyang Wei, Meng Qiang was reporting to Luo Bingguang about the matter, which was the actions of Liu Jinyun and others in the past few days.
"General, they don't ask you to show up anymore. Moreover, those people were investigating something inside and outside the city of Xiangzhou, and the last general wanted to take them to Longshan, but they all refused. Meng Qiang said this, his tone slightly worried.
"Liu Jinyun is a smart person...... Ben will still underestimate him a little, and the dark chess that was originally arranged is not needed. Presumably, they wanted to find out who they were. Luo Bingguang said this, judging their actions.
"Then they, will they find out?" Meng Qiang said worriedly. If those people are found, then it's troublesome.
These people who came from Jingzhao to order troops are not easy to deal with. If they don't leave Xiangyang for a day, Meng Qiang can't rest assured for a day.
"Don't worry, Rao is Liu Jinyun, they have the ability to reach the sky, and it is impossible to find those people." Luo Bingguang smiled.
Point soldiers? Then he took out the soldiers and asked them to order, a hundred thousand, no more, no less, just right. Otherwise, he won't let them get a spiking out!
"Father, these people are so annoying! After these people leave Xiangyang, the child will definitely teach them a profound lesson and let them know that Xiangyang is not so easy to come! Luo Yi shook the sword in his hand, and the meaning was very obvious.
"Okay, it's up to you when the time comes." Luo Bingguang promised that he had always been very relieved and obedient to this son with strong martial arts.
"Just let them toss, Meng Qiang, you go and look at the 30,000 people in Longshan, don't bother about other things." Luo Bingguang said.
Where those people are hiding, even Meng Qiang, the deputy general of Xiangyang Wei, doesn't know. is so tight, how can they find Liu Jinyun? -- Luo Bingguang still has this point.
Time passed quickly, and after several days of searching and searching, Liu Jinyun and the others still found nothing. This really made Su Shiyong right, looking for a needle in a haystack, this needle, it took them all their efforts, how could they not find it.
It was in such a situation that Shen Du remembered a person, the person Gu Yan said, Zhao Tong, a staff member next to Luo Bingguang!
