"I don't know what Liang Zhongshu will do if we leave like this? Will his soldiers and horses be able to withstand Zhang Di's attack? Lin Chong thought for a while and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's not what we're worried about, those people in the Daimyo Mansion are insatiable, they bought the grain and grass that belonged to us to Cao Jin, and got a lot of money, if there is no acquiescence from Liang Zhongshu, I don't believe it, this time it's to give him a good look, hum, you don't want us to eat, then everyone shouldn't eat." Gongsun Sheng said viciously. Lin Chong and the others nodded again and again.

"My lord, the camp in the west doesn't seem to be quite right!" In the dark night, Li Cheng walked into Liang Zhongshu's big tent, Liang Zhongshu's face was even worse, and the whole person became much thinner.

"What's wrong? Cao Jin sent a large amount of grain and grass again? Liang Zhongshu didn't raise his head, and said dissatisfiedly. In the west, it was known that it was Lin Chong's camp, and in the two armies, Lin Chong dealt with Qiao Daoqing's Tianhu army, while he Liang Zhongshu dealt with Zhaozhou.

"It would be better if Cao Jin sent a large amount of grain and grass, but the key is that our people found that Lin Chong and them were packing their bags." A hint of jealousy flashed in Li Cheng's eyes. How much grain and grass there is in Liang Zhongshu's camp, he knows what the soldiers eat at each meal, and some soldiers can't even fill their stomachs, let alone others, but the Northern Army is different, not to mention being able to eat three meals, basically dry goods, even if you can have a full stomach, you can still see meat on weekdays, the gap between the two sides is so big, even Li Chengzhong, a senior general, is also a little jealous in his heart.

"Pack your bags, oh. Packing your bags? Is this a withdrawal? Liang Zhongshu raised his head from the book violently, looked at Li Cheng and said, "You mean that Li Jing wants to withdraw the army?" How could he withdraw his troops, how could he withdraw them? Could it be that Qiao Daoqing is no longer in Shexian County? Or is Lin Chong ready to enter Hedong Road from Jingcheng Pass, regardless of Hebei's affairs? ”

Liang Zhongshu's face suddenly showed a hint of panic, the coalition army dealt with Zhaozhou and Shexian, and he was able to support it until now, mostly because of Lin Chong and others, his own strength was far above Lin Chong, but the combat effectiveness of the two sides was very different, although the army under Lin Chong's command had just been formed, but the rewards and punishments were clear, at least these soldiers could be fed, the morale of the army was high, and it was not fatal to fight, and he helped himself resist Zhang Di's attack several times, if Lin Chong led the army and left, I don't know if the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion can withstand Zhang Di's attack.

"I'm afraid that's exactly the case, it's just that the troops are withdrawn from there, and the last general still doesn't know." Li Cheng's face was gloomy, his head was lowered, and his face showed embarrassment. He also has sentinels, and he doesn't collect them at night, but he can't compare with the Northern Army, most of the sentry scouts of the Northern Army are cavalry, and some of them are thieves, and they are all clear about these things, and the people in his army have been trained for a long time, but they can't eat enough, and how much news can they find?

"Li Jing seems to have really leveraged the entire Hedong Road, Qiao Daoqing is going to withdraw the army, and Lin Chong is going to pursue Qiao Daoqing." Liang Zhongshu didn't know the situation, but he knew Li Jing's recital, and he could also learn something about the situation on Hedong Road.

"More than 3,000 horses can also pry the entire Hedong Road, and Tian Hu has at least hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and he was defeated by Li Jing in this way, so that Qiao Daoqing also had to come back to help?" Li Cheng's complexion changed, the Great Song Dynasty has rarely won a battle for so many years, even if it is the Western Xia, Tong Guan recovered the land of Hehuang, but those who understand the inside story know what the mystery is, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are just defeated, the Great Song Dynasty did not take much advantage, and the annual coins are not much less, and the Western Army has also suffered heavy losses, as for the grain, grass and money, it has lost a lot, and all it has gained is the land of the erosion of the river, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty has lost even more.

"That's not it. Only in this way can Lin Chong set up camp at this time. Liang Zhongshu still knew what was going on here, stood up, walked around the big tent, and finally said: "Lin Chong must not be allowed to leave, Lin Chong can still be afraid of one or two in Zhang Di, once Lin Chong leaves, we will have to face Zhang Di's army of 100,000." Ay! Knowing this, he should have allocated Lin Chong's grain and grass on time, so that he could control Lin Chong's grain route, so that he had to leave his soldiers and horses. ”

Liang Zhongshu secretly regretted that the Daimyo's Mansion was a group of Quartermaster Yamen of the Northern Army, he knew that most of the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court every time were sold by these people, and the money he got fell into his own pocket, even he, who stayed behind as a daimyo's mansion, also got a part, and what was even funnier was that the grain and grass of the Daimyo's mansion were purchased as soon as they arrived at the Daimyo's mansion, and the buyer was none other than Cao Jin.

I think I laughed at Li Jing at the beginning, the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court were sent to the Northern Army, and now Li Jing asked people to buy them and send them to the army, and I also laughed at the other party for being a big wrongdoer, and now I know that Li Jing may have known about the trick for a long time, but he has been pretending not to know, and now he can finally lift the table and drive down the people who are eating at the table.

Li Cheng glanced at Liang Zhongshu and said in a low voice: "My lord, even if the grain and grass are transported to Lin Chong, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the Northern Army to eat. ”

Liang Zhongshu's face changed when he heard this, glared at Li Cheng, and said, "Give you so much food, can you fight seriously?" Li Jing's more than 3,000 people can crisscross the entire Hedong Road, and the Tian Hu who killed him retreated again and again, and now he is going to attack Zhaode Mansion, but our hundreds of thousands of troops have no effect against Zhang Di, and Zhaozhou is still in Zhang Di's hands. There are also Lin Chong and Gao Chong, these guys, for so many days, the official has a small banquet in three days, and a big banquet in five days, and it is not necessarily that these guys have taken refuge in the official, and I don't know what Li Jing is capable of, so these people are so desperate. ”

After Li Cheng heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, there is money and food, and there are clear rewards and punishments, naturally someone follows Li Jing, and then look at Liang Zhongshu, he lives a luxurious life, but he has very strict requirements for the soldiers below, unless it is the time of battle, he even eats enough at other times, not to mention the slack military discipline, he doesn't look down on those soldiers at all, how can these soldiers work hard for Liang Zhongshu.

"Li Jing ordered Lin Chong to lead the army into Hedong Road at this time, this is to lift the table!" This is what Liang Zhongshu is most worried about, Lin Chong is loyal to Li Jing, he doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't want to buy Lin Chong, but once Lin Chong leaves, it will have an adverse impact on the situation in Zhaozhou, which is a major event related to his future future.

"If you don't want to go and see now, see what Lin Chong wants to do, maybe there is anything else that can be remedied." Li Cheng said cautiously. Let him lead the army to deal with Zhang Di, he really doesn't have this certainty.

"Let the messenger be sent to Bianjing as soon as possible, and ask the Taishi to make a decision. We'll go east later. Liang Zhongshu thought about it, turned around and wrote a letter on several cases, and asked Li Cheng to send someone to Bianjing as soon as possible to ask Cai Jing for advice.
