At this time, in the Tang army camp in Weizhou, Longyou Province, the food supply of the soldiers was somewhat short for several days, so the Tang soldiers were already a little depressed. And Wang Hui was waiting for Lu Zheng's arrival, and hundreds of miles away on the sand outside Lingzhou City, Lu Zheng's department was already sleepy and tired, and they were all sitting cross-legged on the sand.

Lu Zheng looked at the Lingzhou city in front of him, which was still some distance away, and quietly watched the Hui caravan under the hillside, using the salt pulled by camels and various Central Plains real estate, ready to enter Lingzhou City, and now the Hui people have been attached to the Tang Dynasty, and have jurisdiction over six prefectures and seven states.

When Lu Zheng lay down sleepily, the crisp sound of the camel bell woke him up again, and then he got up from the sand, looked at the fallen soldiers and said, "Let's enter Lingzhou City, the sun is almost west, enter Lingzhou City to find a place to live." ”

As soon as Lu Zheng finished speaking, all the soldiers heard that they could enter the city to rest, and they all patted the sand and immediately stood up, and one of the soldiers said at this time: "General Lu has money on him?" ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile at this time: "This Lingzhou City is the seat of the general manager of the Shuofang Dao march, you forgot that our Wang Dadu is also the deputy chief administrator, although I didn't bring money in a hurry, just go in and borrow it from those sword and pen officials." ”

The soldiers immediately deflated again, and one of them said: "It's not that I don't trust the general, although this Lingzhou land is under the protection of Wang Dadu, but those sword and pen officials still have a hard time running their families, and I am afraid it will be embarrassing to do so." ”

Lu Zheng was a little stunned at this time, but he heard another person say: "General Lu didn't give the order to rush to Weizhou overnight and transport the grain over to solve the urgent needs of the army now." ”

Seeing that all the sergeants had different decisions and different words, Lu Zheng said again at this time: "Listen to me, this Lingzhou is not far from the Tang army camp, so we might as well take a look at the scenery in the city." ”

The soldiers saw that Lu Zheng was so persistent, so they drove the carriage and horses up again, and when Lu Zheng stepped forward at the gate of the city, the defenders saw that it was the Tang army of the Anbei Protectorate, and they treated them frankly, and then said hello again. At this time, Lu Zheng inquired about the battle on the front line again, and learned that the Tang army took the initiative to attack and break the Tibetan army in the case of food shortage.

Lu Zheng didn't say much, he knew what pressure Tang Jun was facing at this time, but he himself was about to finish this matter, but it was just a few mountains away.

After entering the city, Lu Zheng looked left and right, this Lingzhou has been a city since it was built, changed its name several times, and has been occupied by the heroes several times, and then peeped into the world. Now it is controlled and plugged, and it can reach the hinterland of Guannei Road to the south, and it is connected to Longyou Road in the west, which is like an important town.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but be greedy when he looked at the dark fragrance of the banquet in the roadside restaurant, and looked at the soldier next to him for more than ten days, and he was about to walk in without touching the wine, but he was stopped by a soldier.

"The general should not miss the big event, although Weizhou is already in the near future, but this Wang Dadu has words first, if the grain is missing, let Wang Dadu protect what to think? And there will be a crime. ”

Lu Zheng looked back at this time and said helplessly: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I also have good intentions, so I have to be like this." ”

Lu Zheng can still recall Wang Hui's deep words in the emergency report, and he also knows the consequences of the loss of military rations, the battle situation is so stale, tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers are all on this military rations, if he makes a mistake here, then he will be ashamed of Wang Hui's careful teaching.

Now that the war is at a moment that cannot be delayed, the Tang army at this time parted ways to attack and fought again with the Tubo army that was defeated that night. And the holy decree, and the ministers in the court said that this matter must be ended quickly, because the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will inevitably decline after the deep winter.

There is even a saying that just one Tubo does not have to work so hard, and let several generals serve in front of the army, but with little effect, how can this be where my Tang Tianwei is? Therefore, one side urges, the other side fights, such a situation is not a long-term practice, Lu Zheng could not have imagined this.

When the grain truck drove through a few streets, Lu Zheng looked at a few streets, after all, this Lingzhou was not as good as the city of Zhongshou, and after turning a few streets, he was a little dazed.

At this time, there was a group of people in front of him, I don't know what to look at, Lu Zheng ordered the convoy to rest for a while, and walked towards the front by himself, he squeezed into the crowd, and saw that a list was posted on the wall. Then I heard an uncle say: "Now that the imperial court is using troops in Longyou Road, it is said that the military salary is not good, and the tax amount must be levied here, what should we do as poor peasants?" ”

Then Lu Zheng carefully read the official letter that was discussed, and saw that it really said that the decree to urge the tax amount was really written on it, but Lu Zheng was still a little suspicious, the battle was not fierce enough to continue to urge taxes, it was very likely that the government took this opportunity to pretend to be like this.

When Lu Zheng saw the old man withdraw from the crowd, he followed and asked, "Is the old man a farmer?" ”

The old man glanced at Lu Zheng in surprise, and when he saw his uniform, he asked: "Master Jun doesn't know that the farmers in Lingzhou City are now mostly encroached upon, so how can we not worry about the life of the peasant households." If you add these unsubstantiated taxes, you will have to worry about your livelihood for a year. ”

Since Lu Zheng entered Lingzhou City, he saw that all industries in the city were in order, and he never thought that there would be such a miserable thing, but since this was Shuo Fangjun's order, he couldn't interfere.

Watching the old man walk forward, Lu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Then why doesn't the old man show his heart when he supervises the imperial history to visit here, maybe he will make decisions for you, even if it can be beneficial, you can't abandon it." ”

The old man turned around, looked at Lu Zheng and said again: "Even if the supervision of the imperial history is of some help, it will take a long time, and besides, the supervision of the imperial history has not been here for a long time." In fact, the military master knows better than me the weight of the words of the supervising imperial history, saying that the supervising imperial history can supervise the Quartet for the saint, but the power restraint between the officials is not so simple to explain. ”

Lu Zheng stood there, a little at a loss, this uncle is also well versed in this principle, but Lu Zheng still doesn't believe it, although the supervision of the imperial history can't be exhaustive, but how can such a big problem not be known by the officials who care for the people?

Lu Zheng thought of this, the old man had already walked away, and the soldiers behind him ran over and said, "General Lu, let's hurry." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng woke up from his stunnedness, still looking at the people on the list, and said, "Then let's go." ”

So Lu Zheng ordered to rush to Weizhou from the secluded road overnight, and the car drove forward, but Lu Zheng was a little uneasy, after listening to the old man's words, he immediately realized that this side of the pass still needs to be compensated. However, the old man is only a man's words, but even if this is a man's truth, there is his reasonableness.
