The civil ministers and generals on both sides began to talk in low voices.

Most of these ministers are Xianbei people, only a few Han people, although they want to favor Changle Wang Su Xijing from the heart, they instinctively feel that Zhao Junsheng is right.

Race aside, everyone here is an important minister of the court, and no one wants to be framed as a creeper casually, if they are framed and convicted without catching tangible evidence, wouldn't the personal safety of the important ministers of the court be too unguaranteed? Can the court still be stable? Will the ministers be able to conduct their official duties in peace?

Wei Weiqing stood up and asked, "King Changle, do you have any evidence to prove that General Hua is a creeping worker?" ”

Where is there any evidence, Su Xijing hugged his fists at the emperor and said: "At that time, the minister heard a report from his subordinates that someone was sneaking around in the camp, so he ······"

"That means there's no evidence!" Tuoba Jian reprimanded Su Xijing as he spoke, "King Changle, this is your recklessness, General Hua is also a general who leads the troops, how can you casually suspect that she is a creeping man?" Before you speak, you have to be clear before you speak, you are going to cause trouble for yourself, understand? ”

"Yes, keep in mind Your Majesty's teachings!" Su Xijing hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Tuoba Jian looked at Zhao Junsheng again, "Yunzhong Hou, King Changle is the prince of the clan after all, even if there is something inappropriate in your words, you can't do anything to him at will, if so, wouldn't there be no distinction between respect and inferiority in this world, shouldn't you mess around, then you still have it?" Both of you are at fault in this matter, and you will be fined for half a year, can you be convinced? ”

"Surrender!" The two of them each hugged their fists and agreed.

Waiting for Zhao Junsheng and Su Xijing to retreat to both sides, Hua Mulan immediately said: "Your Majesty, their affairs are over, the minister's affairs are not over, the minister's personal soldiers were raped by three soldiers, if you don't find out those three bastards, won't this military discipline be useless?" Please allow your Majesty to search for these three offenders in the army, and if you find them, you will be punished by military law! ”

Zhao Junsheng stood up again in support, "Your Majesty, the raped female soldiers are the families of the officers and soldiers in the camp, according to military law, those who insult the wives and daughters of their comrades should not be forgiven!" Your Majesty, this matter must not be tolerated, otherwise there will be endless troubles! ”

Tuoba Jian has a headache, this military discipline problem has always been a major problem for the Northern Wei army, and he is not a person who has not commanded the army, of course, he knows that if the officers and men in the army are too strict, it will cause a backlash, and it is easy to wear out their ferocity.

Tuoba Jian is really embarrassed about this matter, the army is out on the march, it is inevitable that these messy things will happen, and this kind of thing is not the first time it has happened, where can I manage it?

At this time, the general of the Zongzi Army, He Duoluo, stood up and asked, "General Zhao, since that female soldier is the family of the soldiers in your battalion, she must be a Han woman, right?" It is not new for this Han woman to be raped by my Xianbei soldiers, it has been a tacit acquiescence since the founding of the country, you want to suddenly kill my Xianbei man because of this matter, I am afraid that it will not work, and the soldiers will not agree! ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately retorted: "This is not a question of Xianbei or Han people, she is not only a soldier in the army, but also a family member of a soldier in the army, no matter what nationality she is, she will naturally become the object of military law protection!" The soldiers fought bloodily in the front, forgetting their lives and deaths, and were loyal to His Majesty and the Great Wei, but some people insulted their wives and daughters in the rear, and the court and the generals who led the troops could not protect them and could not uphold justice for them. Will they still be loyal to the emperor and the imperial court? How do you feel if it's you, Hedoro? If there is a little incitement by someone with bad intentions, it will cause a monstrous disaster! ”

Hedoro was speechless.

National Teacher Kou Qianzhi shook off the dust and stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"Oh? If the national teacher has something to say, just say it! Tuoba Jian raised his hand.

Kou Qianzhi immediately said: "Your Majesty has first ascended to the great treasure, and you should have a heart of forgiveness, and give more comfort and generous rewards to the soldiers to win the hearts of the army, so that they can respect Your Majesty; But at the same time, we must also take military discipline seriously, so that they will fear Your Majesty! If they are blindly indulged, it is easy for them to fill their dissatisfaction, and if some people with ill intentions promise more generous terms, it is easy to be bribed, which is not conducive to your majesty's rule! ”

Tuoba Jian thought about weighing it, and said to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan: "Zhao Qing, Hua Qing, I allow you to look for those three soldiers who committed adultery in each battalion, if it is a person from your baggage camp, how can you dispose of it yourself, if it is a soldier of other armies, report it to me after finding it, and I will make a ruling!" ”

"Obey the order!"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Junsheng asked Pei Jin to copy many copies of the portrait, and sent soldiers to look for the portraits in the camps of the various armies.

Hua Mulan has been transferred back to Huaishuo Town, there are a lot of military affairs to deal with, Zhao Junsheng is responsible for the food, drink and Lazar of fifty or sixty thousand horses here, there are more things, every thing needs his nod, and every baggage is issued needs his signature.

Pei Jin walked into the tooth tent with an account book and said to Zhao Junsheng: "General, this is the amount of baggage sent to the army in the left wing, please sign it!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the account book and looked at it, picked up the pen and was about to sign, remembering the arrogant appearance of Su Xijing yesterday, he suddenly stopped and returned the pen to the distance, and returned the account book to Pei Jin, "Cut the grain, grass and meat by half, and all other baggage weights will be deducted, drag it for a day and then transfer it over, starve these bastards, hum!" Let's go and redo the bills."

It is not enough to starve to death, all armies have food stocks that can last at least a day or two, but if the allocated grain and grass are halved, the soldiers and generals on the left side will have to tighten their belts, and if other baggage, such as wine, lamp oil, and medicinal materials, are lacking, it will bring great inconvenience to the lives of the soldiers and generals.

Pei Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "General, if this matter is a big fuss, I'm afraid it won't end well!" ”

"Lao Tzu made him ridicule and told him to offend Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu wanted to make him dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say it! Is it so easy to bully if you think General Ben is a Han Chinese? Hum! This matter will have its own opinions, you don't have to worry about it, just do what General Ben instructs, and General Ben will be responsible for anything that happens! ”

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

After Pei Jin left, the eagle envoy walked in quickly and hugged his fists and said, "General, there is a flying eagle message in the Jinling camp!" ”

"Bring it!"

A small paper scroll was taken by Zhao Junsheng, he waved his hand, and opened the small paper scroll after letting the eagle envoy go out, and his face changed greatly after reading it, "This is a big trouble!" ”

Walking out of the tent, Zhao Junsheng thought in his heart whether to tell Tuoba Jian about this matter, or block the news first.

If he told Tuoba Jian about this immediately, then the fact that he had another intelligence system would be exposed, which might cause Tuoba Jian to be suspicious; But if the news is blocked, Tuoba Jian will not be able to make corresponding deployments in time, delaying the time, and I am afraid that it will cause more trouble.

As he walked around the camp, he saw Daoist Dongfang Chen coming over and asked, "It's not been a short time since Daoist Yu Yan came here, and he didn't go to see Lingshi Kou Tianshi?" ”

Dongfang Chen's face turned bitter, "Poor Dao has achieved nothing, what kind of face do you have to see your master?" Moreover, Poor Dao is the one who is the least respected by the master among all the teachers and brothers, and it will add to the blockage of his old man when he meets, so he simply won't go! ”

"Dao Chief, this is wrong, whether he treats you or not is his business, and whether you respect the teacher is your question!"

Dongfang Chen waved his hand: "The matter of the poor road is irrelevant, but the general······ Looking at the general's face, he must have hesitated when he encountered something difficult, right? ”

“······ Oh, yes! Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment but said, "There is one matter that is extremely important to the imperial court, but if this general reports it to the emperor, the emperor will definitely be suspicious of me; But if I don't say it and wait for the incident to happen, the imperial court may be caught off guard, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to deal with the aftermath. ”

Dongfang Chen touched his beard, "Poor Dao thinks that if the general wants to make a difference, he must first save himself and keep a useful body, everything is possible, otherwise everything will be over!" ”

These words touched Zhao Junsheng a lot, and after thinking about it, he still pretended not to know according to Dongfang Chen's suggestion, everything depended on the situation.

Only two days later, Su Xijing's side couldn't hold on, and immediately wanted Tuoba Jian to sue Zhao Junsheng and say that Zhao Junsheng deducted his heavy grain and grass, which was a big deal, Tuoba Jian couldn't ignore it, and immediately announced Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng came to the palace to meet him, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

Tuoba Jian asked: "Zhao Qing, King Changle impeached you for deducting his heavy grain and grass, and delayed for time, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't quibble, and directly and generously admitted: "Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing!" ”

The court suddenly became noisy, and others had to find excuses for themselves when they encountered this kind of impeachment, but he was fortunate that he directly and generously admitted it.

Tuoba Jian frowned and said, "Why do you want to withhold his heavy grain and grass? You must know that without food and grass, the army will be in chaos! ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen is not a deduction, but a reduction in supply!"

"What's the difference?" Su Xijing said angrily.

Zhao Junsheng sneered in his heart, and said to Tuoba Jian: "Your Majesty, of course there is a difference, the deduction is to put the intercepted into his own pocket, and the reduction of the supply is to carry out the heavy grain and grass, but the reduction of the quantity, the interception is still in the warehouse!" ”

Su Xijing asked: "This king wants to ask you, why the other armies have not reduced their supplies, and why is the left wing of the king alone reducing supplies?" If you don't make it clear today, we're not done with this! ”

"Because the left compartment is the last to distribute heavy grain and grass!"

Su Xijing roared loudly: "What kind of bullshit reason is this? ”

"Your Majesty, before distributing grain and grass to the army of the Left Chamber, the minister received a report from his subordinates that we have not received baggage supplies for five days, including today is the seventh day that we have not received baggage supplies! The day before yesterday, when Wei Chen heard the report of his subordinates, he thought that the baggage transport team was delayed on the way due to the weather or getting lost, so he did not report to His Majesty, and after two days there was still no baggage transport team coming, and the minister realized the seriousness of the problem, and he wanted to report to His Majesty, and did not want His Majesty to summon the ministers first! ”

"What?" Tuoba Jian and the ministers of the imperial court were shocked, they did not receive the grain and grass for such a long time, there must be a problem, the general grain and grass supply team is transported every three days, continuously, so that the sufficient grain and grass can be maintained, even if it is robbed by the Rouran army once or twice, it will not cut off the supply, if it is too much at one time, the transportation time is long, as long as it is robbed once, the army is in danger of running out of food.

Tuoba Jian immediately Zhao Junsheng: "Is it possible that our baggage supply route was detected by the Rouran people and the grain route was cut off?" ”
