Back in Jiangquan, it was already dark, and it was the time when the porridge was on credit in the city, and the fragrance of oil was overflowing.

The Xianjun has abundant meat, but it is impossible to supply millions of people, but thanks to the large number of rapeseed grown in Xianguo and imported soybean oil, the vegetable oil mixed in the porridge greatly alleviates the human body's demand for fat nutrition and maintains basic physiological functions.

Zhou Kong was anxiously waiting in the Chinese army at this time, and when he saw Bailiyan returning to the camp, holding the girl in his hand, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps:

"Where did the two dolls and the old woman come from?"

"In Pingdian Village, the strong men in the village were either arrested or killed, and there were only more than 300 old, weak, sick and disabled. This girl was about to die at the time, and was found alive by Ben Shuai, and now she is still sick, Ben Shuai plans to hand over the male and female babies to your female army for the time being, what does General Zhou think. ”

Zhou Kong wanted to refuse, but when he saw the girl, the young man and the old woman, they were yellow and skinny, and they couldn't bear their compassion.

“…… Okay, little lotus seed, bring the three of them back to my camp and settle them down. ”

"No."

After Xiaolianzi took the three of them away, Zhou Kong hurriedly said:

"And a few men came at an hour, and asked him what he was doing, but said that he wanted to see you."

"Find Ben Shuai! Do you know where it came from? ”

"I can't see it, but it's certainly not from the Gongliang Army."

"What about them?"

"I'm watching from the office for the time being."

"Take me there."

When I came to the office when I was young, more than a dozen people dressed up, with swords under their ribs, all led horses and stood on the street very vigilantly, and when they entered the office, there were four or five people in the same costume waiting in the front hall, and they couldn't see who was the leader, and they didn't know where they came from.

Seeing the comer, Bai Liyan stepped forward and asked:

"Who is looking for Ben Shuai!"

Among the five, a middle-aged man in his early forties stood up and raised his hands and clenched his fists:

"Your Excellency is Bai Liyan, the deputy marshal of the Xian Army?"

"It's Ben Shuai, I don't know why the strong man came."

"Your Excellency, do you know how the Great Sima Jiang Yan died."

Hearing the news, Bailiyan was taken aback:

"Shhh...... You are ......"

The man answered:

"Exactly, we have been ordered to come to meet Your Excellency, it is a matter of confidentiality, I don't know if I can take a step to speak."

"Come with me!"

Baili Yan led the man and others to leave the governance office and go to the south of the city, Zhou Kong didn't know what everyone was talking about, stopped Jiang Jie and asked:

"What did that person say just now, does Bailiyan know anything?"

Jiang Jie shook his head:

"The last general doesn't know, please wait a while, maybe you'll find out later."

Jiang Jie turned to leave, Zhou Kong frowned and said secretly:

"There are ghosts, Baili Yan must be ghosts."

When he was young, Bailiyan and the people who came to the south gate of the city and evacuated the soldiers within thirty steps on both sides.

"Tell me what your master has sent you."

The man took out the secret letter in his bosom and handed it over:

"This is the master's secret letter, please take a look at the deputy marshal of Baili."

Bai Liyan took the secret letter vigilantly, stepped back to the side of the guard, and then took a closer look at the firelight.

There was no handwriting on the envelope, and it was confirmed that the seal was intact, so it was opened. Open the content and you can see that the handwriting is Gongsun Yue's own handwriting, and the content is surprising:

"No wonder my legs are inconvenient, I really didn't expect it, it turned out to be him."

Reading through the whole letter, Baili Yan was puzzled, so he asked the person:

"Does your master have full control?"

"The master has control over the whole army, and he is in full charge."

"Then why didn't you send someone to contact Ben Shuai until this time?"

"The master has the master's difficulties, the situation on the Western Front is complicated, and the specific reasons are difficult to explain."

"Since the situation on the western front is complicated, why do you need to send 200,000 horses to the east, isn't it a contradiction in this?"

"Deputy Marshal Baili doesn't know that the Dragon Yuan Heavenly King was greatly injured after being defeated by the Xu State last year, and the southern front is no longer able to consolidate, so the western front is making peace with Wei Guo and Liang Guo with all its might, which will be extremely unfavorable to Xiong Yandao."

"Oh...... I understand that the Foolish Sect has transferred all the soldiers and horses of the Male Argument to the outer line, and the inner line is in the hands of the Foolish Sect, so once the Western Front makes peace, the Male Argument Dao will be reduced to a substitute for the dead. So anxious to find a way back. ”

"Exactly, otherwise Chitose wouldn't have been able to let Ma Zheng lead his troops to save Zhaocheng."

"What, the horse was deliberately sent by Chitose?"

"According to the news, Chitose has been making peace with the Gongliang Army for several months, and once the conditions are met, Ma Zheng's 50,000 horses will be the biggest obstacle, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave it to the supernatural power. After Ma Zheng arrived at the supernatural camp, he was bound to open his mouth widely, and most of them would not cooperate with the supernatural powers, so the supernatural powers would be defeated. ”

"In this way, the Gongliang Army is a fake war on the southern front, and the people fighting on the front line are all stubborn factions!"

"Yes, King Zhi not only wants to swallow Sun Kingdom, but also wants to take down the silver mines in Ziyuan County of Xu State, so Long Yuan will not retreat after retreating to Ziyuan."

"What a big appetite. Taking advantage of Xu Guo's vitality, he Zhiguo occupied other people's gold and silver mines, which was really a danger to others. How could I have overlooked that......"

Thousands of calculations, undercalculations, and omissions, and the eloquent Tao and Zhiguo made peace. Since the Foolish Sect was able to make peace with the Patriotic Defenders on the Western Front, the Eloquent Sect could also find a backer on the Eastern Front.

Compared with the Xianguo, the Zhiguo has a vast territory and deep roots, and the difficulty of digesting ten counties is roughly the same as that of swallowing three counties in the Xianguo.

"Didn't the Foolish Sect notice about the matter between your master and Chitose and Long Yuan?"

"Deputy Marshal Baili doesn't know that in August last year, there was a mutiny in the capital, and Dai Ping, the high priest in charge of military and political power, died."

"Coup d'état!" Bai Liyan was surprised, he didn't get any news about the coup d'état from Yuke, and then hurriedly asked, "And then?" ”

"The Foolish Theory faction controlled the money and grain and the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Western, Northern, and Eastern Fronts, and the Longyuan, Chitose, and Black Wind who fought on the southern front gradually fell into isolation, and it was difficult to receive money and food."

"What was the reason for the coup d'état, and why didn't the monarch stop it?"

"Since the defeat of Xianguo that year, the power of the monarch's father has long been sidelined, and this coup d'état is caused by Dai Ping's private peace with Liang Guo behind the back of the two factions."

"In other words, Dai Ping wanted to make peace with the Liang State in order to obtain the title of the vassal state, but neither faction agreed."

This is probably the case, because once the country is closed, the two factions can only obey the fence of the host, and cannot carry out their own strategic propositions, so it is not beneficial to both factions. However, the foolish faction has always colluded with the patriotic state, and the male argument has a grudge against the patriotic state, so they can only turn to the eastern front to seek a way out. ”

"I said, there are so few troops on the Western Front, and they still have to draw troops to the east, it turns out that the Foolish faction has already secretly made peace with the Patriotic Sect. In this way, the swarm of bees and black fire fans of the Black Turban Army all come from the defense of the country! ”

"Yes."

"Is that what King Wei meant, or is it the other three brothers of King Wei?"

"Both."

"That is to say, on the one hand, King Wei colluded with the foolish faction, swallowed the land of Sun Kingdom, made a wish to reward his three brothers with land, and at the same time secretly instigated the Black Turban Army to send troops to the Eastern Front to defeat Xianguo, Zhiguo, and Changsun Kingdom, so as to clear the way for Wei Guo to chase the Central Plains!"

"Yes."

"Damn, what I said, why are the rebels fighting more and more, and they are all flocking to the eastern front, isn't this the disaster leading the people to the east, then the soldiers and horses under your master's command should not be the descendants of the black scarf!"

"They are all miscellaneous soldiers such as Qi, Chen, Yan, Zhao, Liang, and Xu, and their combat power is extremely poor."

"Then what was the reason for the new Four Heavenly Kings last year?"

"I don't know the specific situation, I only know when I see the owner."

"Then besides your master, there are other people who serve our army."

"It's not clear yet, only the owner knows the specific details."

"How many days do you have enough food and grass?"

"Less than ten days."

"Go and tell your master at once, and the army will immediately leave for the south bank of Xuandi's Okura, where the commander will supply you."

"But Taiqincang is recently, and if you want to rush to Xuandi, you may encounter a flash flood on the way, and you may not be able to catch it in ten days."

"Taiqincang is already in the pocket of the Gongliang army, you can only go north along the Mutao River, if you can't arrive on time, I will send a warship to transport grain to meet you and others."

"This ......"

Seeing the man's hesitation, Bai Liyan said:

"You can rest assured, Ben Shuai will do what he says, and there will be a grain ship along the Mutao River south to respond."

"That's... Well, return immediately in the next and inform the owner of the message. ”

War is a continuation of politics, and when it is unsustainable, political forces overwhelm the momentum of war again, and negotiations return, repeatedly, until one side completely succumbs.

The process is full of insidious cunning and cruel traps, and no one knows whether the next step will be victory or death.

Bai Liyan had foreseen that the Black Turban Rebellion would collapse, but now that the reality has come true, he can't be happy.

According to the current trend, Sun Guo only retained one or two counties at best, and became the protectorate of Wei and Liang, and Wei Guo harvested at least ten or even fifteen counties of land, and the remaining nearly twenty counties will be divided between Xu, Zhi, Xian, Changsun, and Liang.

From beginning to end, the patriotic homeland was almost unhit, and the economic losses were less. The greatest loss was the Xu State, half of which had been lost for fifteen years, followed by the Changsun and Xian Kingdoms, and the Zhiguo had less local influence.

This means that after the main forces of the Black Turban Army defected to the country, the strength of the country increased unprecedentedly, and once the land annexed by the pacification was pacified, operated for several years, recuperated, and restored the economic vitality of the occupied area, within five to six years, the country was bound to recover before other vassal states other than the Xian State, and then the country could defend the country and launch a war again, and no one could resist it.

With the consistent tiger and wolf bully face of the country, seeing that it is only one step away from dominating the world, it will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and brazenly invade the east at the risk of the world.

Sending off the middle-aged man and his entourage overnight, walking on the way back to the camp, Bai Liyan was worried and worried, Jiang Jie was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask carefully:

"Master Hou, what did the person say that made Master Hou so worried?"

Bai Liyan stopped and said solemnly:

"Do you know who the King of Heaven is?"

"Lu Sheng."

Jiang Jie blurted out, and Bai Liyan shook his head:

"It's Gongsun Yue."

"What, it's him!" Jiang Jie was taken aback: "He's not ......"

"Some of these changes are not known to the commander yet, but the Black Turban Army ordered him to come over in order to send the Black Turban Miscellaneous Soldiers to the Eastern Front to die, so as to consume the strength of our Xianguo, Zhiguo, and Changsun Kingdom, and at the same time prevent the miscellaneous soldiers from changing.

Gongsun Yue is here to lead his troops to surrender, and early tomorrow morning, you will immediately send reconnaissance scouts to the east bank of the Mutao River to monitor, and if you find more than 100,000 rebels heading north, you will immediately come to report to me. ”

"That's 200,000 people, if the rebels see that there is no hope of seizing food, and use this trick to deceive me, our army will not die without a place to be buried."

"Therefore, this commander ordered Gongsun Yue to bring the soldiers and horses to the south bank of Xuandicang, so that their grain and grass will be completely controlled by our army.
