Chapter 245: Someone Wants General Di's Life
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gan Qi walked in with Zhao Zonghan, and in the big tent, more than a dozen generals were drinking with bowls, drinking porridge, huhula.
When Zhao Zonghan came in and saw such a scene, he pursed his lips and said softly: "I'm really drinking porridge!" ”
Di Qing saw Gan Qi come in, put down the porridge bowl, beckoned, and said, "Dao Jian, come and sit." Come on, two more bowls. ”
Gan Qi walked to Di Qing and sat down, looked at the porridge on Di Qing's bowl, and said, "Uncle Di, is there not enough food and grass in the army?" ”
Di Qing was also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Endure for two days, Xu is baggage is delayed on the road, it is good to have porridge to drink, when defending the city in the past, the war was long, even the porridge was not drunk, and it was normal to be hungry for two or three days." ”
Gan Qi was shaking his head: "Uncle Di, I'm afraid things are not so simple, we are about to enter Jinghu South Road now, the waterways extend in all directions, and the land route is also extremely smooth, and there is no delay in Yongzhou, how can we get here and be delayed?" ”
Di Qing was about to pick up the bowl and drink porridge again, when he heard Gan Qi's words, he hurriedly put the bowl down again and asked, "Didn't Dao Jian say that someone deliberately delayed our grain and grass supply?" ”
Gan Qi nodded and said, "I'm afraid so." ”
"What?" Di Qing stood up, looked at the dozen or so generals in the big tent, and said, "How dare you do this?" Who dares to deliberately delay the rations and grass of the army? Don't you want to be an official? When you get to Bianliang, aren't you afraid that I will wait for him to join him in front of the official family? ”
More than a dozen generals present put down the porridge bowl in their hands and looked at Gan Qi with a shocked expression.
Gan Qi was silent for a moment, thought back and forth, and then asked, "What will happen if the army runs out of food?" ”
Pang Kang probably didn't believe Gan Qi's words, and immediately replied: "Mr. Gan, how can the army run out of food?" We are returning to the DPRK in triumph, and we are not alone in the depths, let alone cut off the grain route by the enemy, how can we run off the grain? ”
Gan Qi seemed to think clearly about something, and said: "This time there will inevitably be no food, once the army runs out of food, it will not take long, only need to be cut off for two days, it will inevitably cause chaos, but if there is a soldier who is in turmoil and robs the people's food, Uncle Di will return to Beijing, so as to avoid the name of conniving at his subordinates to make trouble, and even before returning to Beijing, Uncle Di's crime of rebellion has already reached the front of the emperor, and it is a good means to give birth to a good means, a good means to give birth to a good way!" ”
Di Qing was stunned, how could he not know what Gan Qi meant at this moment? If the army is starved for two days, the soldiers who are in chaos are not one or two, everyone has to eat, and they are hungry for two days, who can stand it? The army is already full of people, how can it not cause chaos?
Once there is chaos, it must be that Di Qing has not yet arrived in Bianliang, and Di Qing has been charged with robbing the state capital and rebelling.
Emperor Renzong doesn't believe it?
Di Qing is surrounded by confidant generals, and Di Qing has always had a close relationship with these generals. Even the forbidden army in Tokyo was personally selected by Di Qing, and he thought he was also a familiar person in the past.
A general in charge of a hundred battles, with an army of henchmen, and more than 3,000 elite soldiers, with the momentum of a great victory, intends to rebel.
Renzong Zhao Zhen believe it or not? Even if you don't believe it so much, you can only believe it or not, because this is how the Great Song Dynasty came, and Renzong Zhao Zhen didn't know that he heard Di Qing say in front of him that Di Qing was Zhao Kuangyin of the Later Zhou.
It's better to believe it than not to believe it, so how to deal with it? Naturally, troops had to be dispatched to deal with it.
If we do this, it will be difficult to predict the direction of events.
Han Dagong, who is both civil and military, has good means!
Di Qing was analyzing and thinking in his heart, and he was terrified.
Pang dared to speak: "Mr. Gan, are you saying that someone wants to harm General Di?" ”
Gan Qi nodded: "Well, someone wants General Di's life." ”
Pang Dang asked again: "Who wants General Di's life?" Don't you even care about the lives of the 8,000 army? Do you want me to wait for me to bear a charge of rebellion? ”
Gan Qi didn't answer, just looked at the horrified expressions of the audience.
Di Qing finally spoke: "Dao Jian, there should be room for maneuver in this matter, this place is still fifty miles away from Lechang City, it will start tomorrow, it should be able to arrive in the afternoon, I will go into the city to see Lechang Zhixian, seconded some grain and grass, and must not let the army be in chaos." ”
Gan Qi was still shaking his head: "Uncle Di, at this time, before the season of grain harvesting, how much grain can a county have?" Even if there is, he won't give it to you, how dare he give you the grain in the treasury without the command of the officials? ”
Shangguan commanded, this is the point. In the past, Di Qing briefly served as the Xuanfu envoy of Jinghu Nanbei Road, but that was in the past, and he is not today. Shangguan, if you really want to talk about Shangguan, Han Qi is the Shangguan of Shangguan.
The state officials did not give grain and grass, and the army was hungry, looking at the food in the treasury of the city, but they could only go hungry, what should I do? The amount of food that 8,000 people have to consume every day is not three catties and five catties.
Grab it? Can't an army of 8,000 starve to death on the road looking at the food in the state capital along the road, right?
No wonder Han Qi was so good to Di Qing when Di Qing went on the expedition, and his back hand turned out to be here!
Di Qing's face had already sunk, and his footsteps kept going back and forth in the big tent.
Pang Dang was even more furious and said: "Mr. Gan, who do you say?" Who is going to put me to death? We waited for the country to go out, bravely killed the enemy, and returned triumphantly, not to mention the royal reward, but can still treat us and other meritorious ministers like this, how can this be reasonable, how can there really be such a reason, to get Bianliang, I will kill this thief! ”
Gan Qi did not immediately refrain from answering, for fear that saying Han Qi's name would frighten everyone.
But some people said: "Mr. Gan will not be ...... Thinking too much, right? Whether...... Maybe it's just that the baggage was delayed on the road? It will be there in two days. ”
But listening to Di Qing's sigh, he shook his head and replied: "The grain and grass can't come, and the grain and grass seem to really can't come." ”
Di Qing is not such a lucky person, Gan Qi has said this, how can Di Qing still have a fluke mentality?
Han Qi was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was born as a jinshi, and he stood next to the emperor. Di Qing is a criminal Qiu Ba, a military man with tattoos on his face, who does not understand the teachings of sages and sages, and is not by the emperor's side.
Such a good opportunity, Han Qi didn't use it to deal with Di Qing, come to this village, where is there this shop? Huotong was also extinguished, and Han Qi's all-encompassing errand in front of the emperor was completed, so if he didn't take such a good opportunity to attack Di Qing, when would he wait?
forced Di Qing to make mistakes, that's how he forced it.
Pang Dang asked, "General Di, what should we do?" We must not sit idly by, and we must not allow the wicked thief to succeed. ”
Di Qing opened his mouth and said: "Let's collect the spoils of war in the army, and go to the city to buy some grain and grass first." ”
Pang Dang immediately replied: "General Di, the valuable thing in the spoils of war is those hundreds of buffaloes, but they are all left in Yongzhou, and there are not many other gold, silver, copper and iron, so they can't be exchanged for much money, and it's just a drop in the bucket." If I had known this, I should have brought all the rice I had harvested from Huotongman, so that I wouldn't go hungry on the road. ”
In the final analysis, Huo Yu is still too poor. Except for buffalo and rice, there is nothing of value. It is also that there are not many frames for this large army, and it is enough to carry ordnance and iron armor, but it is also unrealistic to use it to transport food. Besides, where is the reason why the army fighting on the front line brings a large amount of food by itself?
Di Qing could only reply: "How much can be exchanged, there must be chaos in the army, once there is chaos in the army, you and I will never recover." ”
Pang Dang asked again: "General Di, Mr. Gan, who is so vicious?" Just tell the last general, when the last general returns to Beijing, he must kill this guy on the street and take his head as a ball to kick, so as to relieve my hatred! ”
Di Qing didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Gan Qi, who was pondering.
