"Not only is it a blatant sale, they are carrying out mutual markets for the imperial court, and many nearby granaries and even military warehouses have been resold clean, and there is nothing in the warehouse."

Ding Cheng explained: "Take the Northwest Nine Passes as an example, except for the passes guarded by our generals, the rest of the passes are reselling grain, and the cattle, sheep and horses they exchanged from the herdsmen are resold to the interior, making a lot of money."

"Aren't they afraid of the court investigating it?" Mu Qingge said incomprehensibly: "What if the imperial court thoroughly investigates the surplus grain?"

"Their grain bags are full of sand and stones, and the outermost looks completely different, only when they are opened from generation to generation they know what it is, and they don't dare to really be greedy for the imperial court's mansion grain, and they will buy cheap and inferior rice and send it in the autumn harvest next year, so that it can be reported to the imperial court, and it can be perfectly solved by going down for inspection." Ding Cheng sneered and said: "This is why there has been no war on the border between China and the DPRK in recent years, so they have started business from it, and if they start fighting, I am afraid they will suffer huge losses."

It's also that I don't know if I don't come, but after I come, I know that there are people here who are playing this kind of trick, which is really surprising about their ability to do business.

"Don't you General Su know about this?"

"I know all the things, how can General Su not know, but if it was okay before, now he is only a city general, even if the excerpt of impeachment can only continue to be performed through the hands of the general, do you think they will pass on such a personal fraud?"

Mu Qingge looked back at Leren, they didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"We're in place." Ding Cheng was talking, and looked at a dry tree standing between heaven and earth in the distance, and said excitedly: "Through here, we are already considered a complete northwest realm, and it is much more convenient to do anything here." ”

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and Mr. Gu was also relieved, but as a result, he fell directly from the horse in front of him.

The surrounding soldiers were already nervous and carefully guarding the surroundings, and some people suddenly fell off their horses and thought it was an enemy attack, but when they turned around, they saw that it was Mr. Gu who couldn't support it and fainted.

"Is it hard for you to march with the herdsmen?" Ding Cheng hurriedly sent someone to help Mr. Gu up and said, "Why is this person so tired?" ”

Mu Qingge didn't want to say anything, so he just looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up at this time, why don't we rest for a while?" ”

"It's fine."

It was getting late, and there was still a long way to go from here to Surui's Wanyong Pass, and it would be counterproductive to walk at night if it forked, so dozens of them were stationed in place to rest and bury the pot to cook.

Mu Qingge leaned against the broken poplar tree and was nibbling on a large cake, and when he saw Le Ren coming over with hot porridge, he said, "I'm finally back." ”

"It's back, it's still a short way off." Leren sat next to him and asked from a distance: "This time, we are almost going to take the entire border of the southwest and northwest." ”

"Well, it's been a great harvest." Mu Qingge chewed the hard cake and said: "But this matter is not so simple, these things are done by others, and it is not easy to find out, besides, these things." ”

Mu Qingge smiled, the emperor has always been closely guarding against Feng Wuchen now, but it is not so strict for other people, which has led to the crazy rise of Feng Wuchen's power, and now Empress Zhang's maiden family and his strength are all over the court and the opposition, which is the biggest stubborn disease in this dynasty.

It's just that the other party has reached the point of being entrenched, if he wants to uproot such a person, Mu Qingge feels that he still needs to plan more.

"Mrs. Mu, the tent has been set up, and the hot water for washing is all ready, you can rest early, and we will leave as soon as dawn."

"Okay, thank you guys."

It is simply a luxury to be able to scald your feet on the road, and there is not a lot of water that can be used, so Mu Qingge and Leren soaked their feet together.

After what happened last time, Leren paid extra attention to the safety of the camp, and after washing his feet, he still went out to walk around.

Their camp is very small, but the arrangement is relatively reassuring and safe, Ding Cheng saw that Le Ren was not at ease in the check, so he comforted and said: "Miss Le Ren, you can rest assured, we have reached a very safe range here, and it is basically fine." ”

"Yes, okay." Le Ren sat next to him and chatted casually and asked, "General Ding, can you know the situation in the disaster area?" ”

"Know, I heard that it's almost solved, and there is no big problem." Ding Cheng scratched his head and said: "This matter is not a big deal originally, there are small floods every year, this is a matter of course, who knows that this year's floods and military disasters will be added, so we look more serious here." ”

Ding Cheng became excited when he talked about this, and whispered: "We have already learned about the Yanguan battle report, Mrs. Mu's use of soldiers is simply miraculous, trapping 20,000 rangers, we are all spreading this matter now, if you want to say that this battle example alone can be regarded as a god of soldiers, you tell me about it." ”

"At that time, I was out helping others resist other reinforcements, and I don't know the specific battle of Yanguan, but I just know that he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder because of this incident." Le Ren pointed to the position of his shoulder and said: "If someone hadn't helped block an arrow for her, I'm afraid she would have been gone, so it was still very dangerous at that time." ”

"Mrs. Mu Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will naturally turn evil into good fortune."

This kind of thing is also said to the people who have survived, Le Ren has not said anything, someone has already entered their camp in the distance, Ding Cheng hurriedly stood up and walked over and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"There's a pair of centaurs coming towards us in front, and it looks like it's a team from the northwest."

"Where's the number of people?"

"At least 10,000 people ......"

Ding Cheng still wanted to continue asking, but Le Ren had already dragged the other party in the direction of the sky and said, "Don't ask, at least you can see that side clearly with your eyes." ”

Sure enough, the dim sky was completely illuminated by the firelight, and just looking at the number of people, he knew that there were a lot of them, and Leren, who took a few steps back, said, "Do you know whose station it is?" ”

"It's Lord Zhang's, this person is not easy to mess with."
