On this day, Li Yang's army marched to Bintu.

Li Yang ordered Huang Zhong to lead his army around Bintu and set up camp twenty miles north of Bintu.

Li Yang was ready to rest for a day in Bintu before leaving.

"No!"

Huang Zhong surrendered his orders and led the army to leave alone.

Li Yang took Fu Zhu, Li Hu, Dian Wei and others, and led a thousand personal soldiers straight into the city.

Gongsun Xu, who was the guest at the time, personally led the crowd out of the city to greet Li Yang and his party.

When Gongsun Xu was invited to the warm sedan chair, he first saluted Li Yang, and then bowed to the side, bowing his head and being silent!

Tian Feng walked in from the outside!

Seeing his sad appearance, Li Yang couldn't help asking, "Something?" ”

Tian Feng is the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and under normal circumstances, he would not take the initiative to enter the warm sedan chair to disturb Li Yang.

Tian Feng nodded, came to Li Yang's approach, and said in his ear: "Lord, you better go down and take a look yourself."

Tian Feng glanced at Gongsun Xu helplessly.

Li Yang is brows, then got up and walked out.

I really didn't know if I didn't know how to look at it, and I was startled, and the scene in front of me almost stunned Li Yang, why did you say that? Because what caught Li Yang's eyes were a group of guests and disciples who were thinly dressed, yellow-skinned, and thin.

This group of people shouted and cheered as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and what they said was basically "Anxiang Hou Weiwu"

"I wish the Marquis of Anxiang a victory."

"The Youzhou army is invincible." Words like that.

But these words were particularly harsh in Li Yang's ears, and Li Yang said in his heart: "What's the situation? What exactly happened in Bintu County? This battle has not yet begun, why are our people starved of clothes and food? We are not short of food and clothing in Youzhou. ”

Li Yang was a little confused, so he looked at the frustration beside him with an inquiring gaze.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Lord, you should ask the county magistrate, maybe he can give you the answer you want." ”

Li Yang frowned and looked at Gongsun Xu, he was a guest order, this is the main master.

Li Yang frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, can you tell us big guys?" ”

As soon as he heard Li Yang's words have the word "you" in them, he knew that Li Yang was unhappy.

"I'm afraid someone is going to suffer," he thought.

Li Yang didn't have a seizure immediately, he always had to give Gongsun Xu a chance to explain, so he took everyone back to the warm sedan chair again.

Li Hu and Dian Wei looked at Gongsun Xu one after another, and the two of them were also puzzled about what was going on, it had only been a few months of hard work, how could the people of Bintu have lived like this?

You know, just a few months ago, the people of the guests were not like this, even if they couldn't afford to wear silk and satin, but at least they could afford to wear coarse linen clothes, right? Even if you can't wear a good fur coat in winter, you can at least afford to wear a worn leather jacket.

The migrant workers in Mobei pay tribute to Youzhou every year, and the amount is tens of thousands, and Youzhou is not short of these things at all!

Besides, what is the matter with the people who are all hungry and yellow-skinned?

You must know that although Li Yang sent a total of 70,000 troops this time, most of the materials and grain and grass they used were suffocated from foreign races in the north, and they did not requisition a grain of grain from the people.

So the question is, what exactly did the guest and apprentice go through? Why did the people suddenly have nothing to eat?

Everyone in the warm sedan chair turned their eyes to Gongsun Xu, and everyone was waiting for him to give themselves a reasonable explanation.

Gongsun continued to bow to Li Yang and said, "My lord, it is the strategic materials such as grain, grass and clothing that Weichen requisitioned from the people of Bintu. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yang nodded nonchalantly and asked, "Why did you do this?" Tell me your reasoning. ”

Gongsun continued to explain unhurriedly: "There are too many uncertainties in the war, and no one knows how long this battle will last, so Wechen thinks that it is better to take precautions than to hold on to them temporarily, since Wechen arrived, he has been doing a matter related to the preparation of materials, and Wechen has collected a total of 500,000 stone grains and grass and more than 300,000 pieces of seasonal clothing for the soldiers, in case of emergency!" ”

Just as Gongsun Xu was about to continue, Li Yang interrupted him with a remark, Li Yang squinted his eyes slightly, and asked, "Has my brother ever received instructions from the military department?" ”

Gongsun Xu's heart tightened, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "No! ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yang nodded, and asked again: "Then you received the documents issued by Yuan Hao and others?" But what did they ask you to prepare? ”

Gongsun Xu still shook his head, and said stubbornly: "No! ”

Li Yang nodded, and said to Dian Wei with a gloomy face: "Take him down for me!" ”

"No!"

Dian Wei ordered his soldiers to step forward and set up Gongsun Xu on the left and right.

Gongsun continued to ask, "My lord, what crime did you commit?" ”

Li Yang snorted coldly and said angrily: "You'll know later!" ”

Li Yang led everyone out of the warm sedan chair again.

When the people saw that Gongsun Xu was taken out of the warm sedan chair, they were a little confused, and everyone thought in their hearts, "Which one is this singing?" ”。

The people turned their heads to each other, and they said everything.

Ordinary person A said: "Isn't it that the adult's embezzlement of food and salary was discovered by the Marquis of Anxiang? ”。

The people scolded: "Let your mother's fart, the Gongsun family is an official family, how can you care about that bit of grain and grass?" People are very clean officials! ”

The people A were not convinced: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, who can say this kind of thing clearly." ”

At this time, the common man C opened his mouth and interjected: "The lord is related to the Marquis of Anxiang, and his sister is the concubine of the Marquis of Anxiang, and he has this relationship, how can his old man do this?" Have you ever seen someone digging into the corner of your house? There could be something else going on here. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, a young scholar smiled and said, "What a guess, let's go and see." ”

As a result, the people who were originally standing on both sides of the street to welcome the army into the city all followed behind Li Yang and his party.

Li Yang and his entourage went straight to the square in front of the county office.

Li Yang climbed the steps, bowed to the people standing below, and then said loudly: "The people of Youzhou are the best people in the world!" ”

Li Yang's words are like a natural sound in the ears of the people, and the people feel that being the people of Youzhou is a thing to be proud of.

Li Yang continued: "I have seen the dedication and efforts of the people of Youzhou, and the soldiers are very grateful for your support and love, and I thank you for the soldiers of Youzhou who are about to set foot on the battlefield!" ”

Li Yang once again saluted the people standing at the foot of the steps.

When the people saw Li Yang saluting him, they were very excited, and the people all knelt on the ground and said, "Don't do this, this is within my boundaries." ”

Some young scholars bowed to Li Yang one after another, saying: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the soldiers risked their lives to go out, and we can only do some modest efforts for them, and we really don't deserve such a great gift as the Marquis of Anxiang." ”

Li Yang ordered the people to help the people up one by one, and then said to Fu Zhu: "Take out the clothes from the arsenal, return all the clothes to the people, and then take out 200,000 stone grain and grass to distribute to the people, and the remaining 300,000 stone grain and grass army has accepted, I thank you for the soldiers, we can only repay the people's compassion by killing more enemies." ”
