When Guo Zhiyun's troops attacked the Tubo camp, except for a few resistances, most of the Tubo fled westward, and the whole scene was almost the same as An Sishun expected, and the Tubo military camp was in chaos. In the darkness of night, every general ignored the rest of the soldiers, and they didn't have time to put on their clothes, so they all fled in a hurry. Guo Zhiyun prepared to pursue, but when Xue Ne's army arrived, Xue Ne ordered the poor not to pursue.

However, when the whole army returned, Xue Ne got the news that the grain and grass were robbed halfway, and it turned out that some of the grain and grass were intercepted by the Tubo army in a roundabout way, and the whole army was like a lone army without logistics, if there was no more food and grass supply, it was very likely to withdraw. When Xue Ne left Beijing, the saint had said that he would attack the enemy army in order to seek peace in the border areas, so he was in a hurry to urge food.

At this time, all the generals were in the camp tents, Xue Ne wrote a letter urging the grain army and sent people to pass it to the states and counties of Longyou Dao.

However, Xue Ne thought that there might be an accident from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, since the Tubo army could intercept grain from behind the army, it meant that it had infiltrated the hinterland.

Wang Hui thought of Lu Zheng again, this person was his own confidant, and now there was a shortage of food here, so he could take on this great responsibility, so Wang Hui asked people to quickly send an order to the city to be surrendered.

At this time, in the official office of the surrendered city, Lu Zheng was also worried about the situation on the battlefield of Longyou, the weather was cold in August, and the soldiers had to have the strength to fight, and there must be no shortage of cotton, clothing, food and grass. However, Lu Zheng just thought about it, and Wang Hui's instructions to him when he left was that the general situation of the Anbei Protectorate should not be moved at will, and public opinion should be accepted.

In short, Wang Hui asked him to pay more attention to the people's feelings, but although he was thousands of miles away, Lu Zheng still wanted to experience the battlefield of Longyou.

Lu Zheng looked at the officials who came in and out of the mansion, and one of the officials hurriedly walked in, and hurriedly bowed his hand to him: "General Lu, Wang Dadu has escorted the letter." ”

Lu Zheng took the letter, and after opening it, he learned that the five-hundred-mile urgent letter was informed that it was transporting grain to the front line of Longyou Road. However, he also had doubts, but after thinking about it, since it was Wang Hui's handwriting, there was no need to worry too much.

The Anbei Protectorate is also rich so far, and the grain in the entire treasury can still assist the Longyou battlefield at this time in addition to caring for the people's livelihood and providing various expenditures. Lu Zheng ordered people to load grain, and it was loaded according to Wang Hui's intentions, which was enough for the Longyou Taoist soldiers to finish the battle.

Lu Zheng watched the grain carts in front of him gradually fill up, and after the count, he and a team of sergeants prepared to go to Longyou Road. Lu Zheng sat cross-legged on the grain cart and staggered out of the city gate.

The farther west, the scenery on the grassland withered, and the clouds on the wilderness could be seen in the sky, and the thousands of weather brought by the bright and dark clouds could be slowly observed. Lu Zheng thought that he would be able to arrive at the Longyou front line in about three days, passing through a desert on the way, arriving in Xiazhou, and then passing through Yanzhou, and then going to Lingzhou, which was the seat of the Shuofang army, and then entering Longyou Road, and at this time the Tang army was stationed in Weizhou in Longyou Road.

At this moment, he was driving through a wasteland, and Lu Zheng casually chattered to the soldier next to the carriage: "Where do you live?" Why did you join the army? ”

When the soldiers on the side heard this sudden inquiry, they hurriedly said: "I live in Wannian County, Kannai Province, not far from Chang'an, Kyoto, and because of my father's death, I can only live in the army." It was ......"

The soldier was just about to say something, but he stopped his mouth again, and Lu Zheng said again: "I originally had a good future." ”

Suddenly, the soldier cast a surprised gaze, in fact, the facts are not different from what Lu Zheng said, and he really has something unspeakable.

Lu Zheng can also feel the unpredictability of this land of Gyeonggi, this soldier's father died, his family was in the middle, and he had to be called up to join the army because of his livelihood.

At this time, the soldier was already silent, and Lu Zheng comforted: "I don't think your future is extinguished, this blessing and misfortune come together, and it may not be an irreparable frustration in the middle of the family." If you still have ambitions, you can make more meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and you may not be able to revive your family business. ”

The sergeant nodded and said, "The general's words are indeed reasonable. ”

In order to relieve this soldier, Lu Zheng deliberately said: "Actually, I am also in the middle of the family, and I came to the army to make a living. However, fortunately, Wang Dadu has a heavy weapon, so he has become a general who is now in a vacant position. ”

At this time, the grain truck suddenly stopped, Lu Zheng's body leaned forward, and after raising his eyes, he saw that some hungry people with sharp weapons were blocked in front of him. The purpose of these hungry people Lu Zheng is very clear, they have no choice in order to survive, but these people actually want to grab military rations. Lu Zheng wanted to persuade him to give way, so he jumped out of the carriage.

Walking to the front, Lu Zheng spoke: "Dare to ask if you know what kind of food this is?" This is military rations. ”

"I don't care what kind of food he is, for the sake of our people's lives, that's all we can do."

Lu Zheng saw that these people had unkind eyes, and immediately felt that these were not ordinary people, but some wandering people.

So he had to let it go: "Since you don't listen to what you say, then you can only speak with strength." ”

After finishing speaking, the Tang sergeant drew his sword, and the other party was not to be outdone and showed his weapon, Lu Zheng knew that the Tang army did not have an advantage in numbers, and the chaotic people who rushed in front of him happened to have an advantage in numbers.

Lu Zheng wanted to calm things down, but these rebels had no intention of retreating, at this time, a leading rebel rushed up and directly slashed at Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng dodged the situation, and turned around and hit the chaotic people with the hilt of the knife, knocking the person to the ground, and then being restrained by the Tang army.

Lu Zheng understands that these people are also helpless to embark on this road, so there is still pity, and the sin is not to death. As soon as the rebels in the back saw this situation, they were a little shocked, and some even broke away from the team and fled.

At this time, Lu Zheng said again: "You folks can also see that such an act can only make you fall into a place of no return. If you let go of this thought, you can still forgive, and you will not be guilty of everything. ”

As soon as Lu Zheng's words came out, those chaotic people were a little discouraged, and after a while, they got out of the way, and the grain truck escorted by Lu Zheng passed. Lu Zheng thought about it again, the hunger here was rampant, or the local officials did not fulfill their responsibilities and ignored the hunger of the people, so that the people gathered as bandits.

Now that he has just left the boundary of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, there are so many hungry people making trouble, maybe when he reaches the border of Longyou Dao, these things may happen. Almost all of these rioters gathered on the border of the Tao to do this misdeeds, so it seems that the road is full of dangers.
