It stands to reason that Lu Qian and Gao Yanei stole the new forbidden army before, and Gao Yu will definitely find ways to support it. Even if Tong Guan, who is in charge of logistics supply, fights with Gao Yu openly, he has to sell Gao Yu a little face on the surface, and he will definitely not deduct the food and salary of the new forbidden army like he did with Wu Song before.

So, why did the new forbidden army run out of surplus food?

Wu Song said: "Send someone to quickly search the residences of Lu Qian and Gao Yanei, it should be very clear!" ”

Lu Zhishen immediately sent someone to search.

As a result, it was not at all what Wu Song expected: Lu Qian's residence, the silver ticket found was actually 100,000 taels! There are also more than a dozen new house deeds he bought in Bianjing!

Gao Yanei's residence found fewer things, which is naturally related to his wanton squandering, but the remaining silver tickets are as many as more than 50,000 taels! There are also five or six house title deeds in Bianjing!

Lu Qian and Gao Yanei took the lead, and the cronies they brought who were planted in the new forbidden army would naturally not be much better. The next inventory can be called a huge harvest: a total of silver tickets, gold, silver jewelry and other stolen goods were seized, worth nearly 300,000 taels of silver! In addition, the title deed of the house they bought in Bianjing is also worth more than 100,000 taels!

Needless to say, all this money is the income from deducting the food and salary of the new forbidden army!

Most of the food and salaries issued by the imperial court to the new forbidden army had already entered the pockets of Lu Qian, Gao Yanei and their cronies!

Naturally, it's not just their pockets. From Lu Qian's residence, a register was also searched, which was the account of his deduction of military salaries and bribing court officials!

Glancing at these accounts, Wu Song couldn't help but slap the table again and again: It's rotten, it's really rotten, this entire Great Song Dynasty court is a group of embezzlers!

Judging from Lu Qian's account, above the court, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan, etc. all accepted gifts from Lu Qian, Gao Yu received the most, but Cai Jing and Tong Guan also had a lot. Obviously, Lu Qian's gang has been engaged in cunning rabbits for a long time, not only relying on Gao Yu, but also bribing Cai Jing and Tong Guan behind his back!

Even, even Song Huizong Zhao Ji himself received valuable gifts from Lu Qian, including various flower and stone gangs that Song Huizong liked!

And Lu Qian didn't just give gifts to these power predators in the court. Judging from the accounts, the officials of the six ministries, Lu Qian all have points!

Judging from this posture, this guy is ambitious, and he will definitely not be satisfied with just being a house slave under Gao Yu, but taking advantage of the opportunity to control the new forbidden army, he is trying his best to pave the way for himself! In time, he will surely become a new traitor!

Kill him early, that is, eliminate harm for the country and the people as soon as possible!

With the stolen goods found from Lu Qian, Gao Yanei and their cronies, the food and salary of the new forbidden army suddenly became very sufficient.

In addition, the Liang Zhongshu brought by Wu Song and Yang Zhi to Cai Jing's Birthday Gang, although a part of it was given to Chao Gai and them, the rest was still a big head. All of these were also used as food and salary for the new forbidden army. As a result, the new forbidden army went from being a poor army that was about to be unable to open the pot, and suddenly became full of food and salary.

According to such a grain and salary reserve, even within half a year, even if Tong Guan cuts off the supply of food and salary, the new forbidden army no longer needs to rely on fighting local tyrants and dividing the land to raise food and salary.

Wu Song was in a happy mood, and immediately ordered: The new forbidden army returned to Wu Song's hands and eradicated the corrupt elements in Lu Qian and Gao Yanei's large group of troops.

"Hooray!" "Hooray!"

In the new forbidden army, there were sudden cheers. The morale that had already been boosted by Wu Song's return suddenly rose further. The new forbidden army has shown the vigorous and wolf-like atmosphere of the past!

However, although the issue of food and salary for the new forbidden army has been temporarily resolved, there is another outstanding problem in front of Wu Song.

There is a shortage of medicines!

Because Lu Qian led the army to encircle and suppress Mangdang Mountain, there were many injured people in the new forbidden army. There are abundant wild Chinese herbs in Mangdang Mountain, but it is still not enough to dig Chinese herbs from the wild. In particular, some seriously injured patients are in urgent need of good medicinal treatment.

You must know that if officers and men are injured and cannot receive timely treatment, not only will they face the threat of death, but they will also breed other infectious diseases, which will be a serious challenge to the entire army.

Originally, Tong Guan did not detain Lu Qian, and sent a lot of medicinal materials from the rear. However, these medicinal materials were resold as a million profits, and they were also deducted and resold by Lu Qian, Gao Yanei and others.

The new forbidden army led by Lu Zhishen was trapped in Mangdang Mountain, and there was a shortage of medicinal materials, and many wounded and sick people could not be treated in time.

It is imperative to find medicinal herbs as soon as possible.

At this moment, the guards came to report: there were two medicinal herb merchants, asking to see General Wu Songwu.

"Herb merchant?" Wu Song was thinking about the matter of the new forbidden army's medicinal materials, and a medicinal herb merchant came to ask for a meeting, and it seemed that this businessman's vision was good.

And in front of Wu Song's eyes, two figures appeared, and he said in his heart: If these two medicinal herb merchants are actually the two of them, it will be even better.

Hurriedly asked the guards to bring the man in.

As soon as the two entered the Chinese military tent, Wu Song couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, I guessed well, it's really the two of you!" ”

The two medicinal herb merchants who came, although they were both dressed as businessmen, were extraordinary, and they were the "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang and the "Sairengui" Guo Sheng!

When they were in Bianjing, these two people were doing business at a loss, but Wu Song pointed out the way and asked them to come to Shandong to sell medicinal materials, and gave them an investment!

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were also extremely happy when they saw Wu Song, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Wu Song personally stepped forward to greet the two, asked them to sit down, and said with a smile: "The two brothers don't have to be polite!" You're just in time, but if you don't, I'm about to send someone to you! ”

Lu Fangdao: "The general wants to find us, does he want us to invest in dividends, or do you want medicinal materials?" ”

Wu Song said: "There is no urgency for investment dividends, and I am not short of money now." It's just that there is an urgent shortage of medicinal materials in the army now, and I don't know if the two brothers may help solve it? ”

When Lu Fang and Guo Sheng heard this, they glanced at each other and sighed together.

Wu Song asked, "What?" What happened to you? ”

Lu Fangdao: "Tell the general, we are indeed in trouble!" Only the general can help solve this matter! ”

Then, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng reported to Wu Song about their experiences in the medicinal herb business in Shandong after leaving Bianjing, as well as the difficulties they had encountered recently.

When Wu Song heard what they said, he was immediately furious and said, "This is really a strange thing!" I was still thinking about whether to look at Hu Sanniang's face and let them go for the time being, but they took the initiative to stir up trouble! ”
