Chapter 318: Dugu Huai'en's Rebellion (5)
"Big brother, no, those women and children are really too big a target, and I am in a hurry to catch up with you, and I am afraid that these people will reveal the news at that time, so I will ......, and I have no choice but to do it!"
"Smack!" Dugu Enping slapped Dugu Entai again, half of his face was a little swollen, although he was a little unconvinced, but he still didn't attack Dugu Entai, plus Dugu Entai and Dugu Enping grew up together, some things Dugu Entai considered more comprehensively than Dugu Enping, so Dugu Enping just sat down there coldly, didn't speak, Dugu Entai paced back and forth, thinking about the next question:
"Hmmm! Enping, it seems that this is without further ado, we have to act immediately, just in time, didn't the clothes come with an order? Let's act immediately and quickly delay Li Tang's offensive, it's better to do this, Enping, you immediately send your right-hand men to tell your father-in-law, let your father-in-law hold on to Mayi and wait for help, and we will go to attack Li Tang's Yongfeng Cang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Yongfeng Cang!?" Dugu Enping was frightened and said in surprise.
"Yes! Yongfeng Cang! Dugu Entai nodded and said. The next morning, Dugu Entai and Dugu Enping came to Dugu Huaien:
"What? You want me to take you to Yongfengcang, what are you going to do? Dugu Huaien knew that Yongfeng Cang not only supported the grain and grass turnover and material hoarding of the entire Eastern Expeditionary Tang Army, but also controlled the military and civilian material turnover from Jingchu, Bashu to Guanzhong and the supply of grain and grass for the Tang Army from all walks of life, and the officials of Chang'an Li Tang were also supplied by Yongfeng. If something happens, it's a big deal! Dugu Huaien naturally knows which is more important. Dugu Enping smiled and said:
"My lord, as the saying goes, it's easy to get on the thief ship, but it's hard to get off the thief ship, Lord Dugu still think about the life and death of himself and those concubines and children! If this success is successful, even if the adult's secret is known, no one will embarrass the adult again, and the adult's concubines and children will see it, don't the adults want them? Dugu Enping's smile was like a demon in the middle of the river, which made Dugu Huaien's whole body cold. Dugu Huaien asked:
"My concubines and children, how are they?"
"Don't worry, they are all fine, and they will be able to meet them soon." Dugu Enping thought in his heart - hum! When the time comes, the three of us will not be killed, and everyone will be together on Huangquan Road. Li Jiancheng took 500 elite horsemen all the way to feel the grain and grass camp of the Tang army in the Eastern Expedition, Tang Jian, Yu Yun, and Liu Shirang greeted Li Jiancheng before winning the door:
"Ahh Weichen and the others didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, did they miss the distance? Please forgive your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Li Jiancheng looked at the officials who greeted him in front of the camp gate, and did not find Dugu Huaien's figure:
"Lord Tang, why didn't you see Lord Dugu Huaien!?" Tang Jian stepped forward and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, a few days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that he wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people with Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, and ordered our army to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people here! And Lord Dugu Huaien was afraid that our army would not have enough food and grass, so he told Weichen and others that he hoped to go to Yongfeng once and allocate some military food and materials. As soon as he heard that Dugu Huaien had gone to Yongfeng, Li Jiancheng's face immediately felt a little wrong, and Wei Zheng whispered beside Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the plan for today is to send someone to inform the Yongfeng guards as soon as possible, so that they can hurry up their precautions, Yongfeng is very important, and there must be no trouble!" Li Jiancheng nodded and took out a personal token:
"Yang Wengan, you ride a fast horse quickly, take this order from the trail to Yongfeng Cang, be careful, you must be in front of Lord Dugu Huai'en, and tell Lord Li Xiaochang that any team that mobilizes grain and grass materials is not allowed to enter Yongfeng Cang, and everything will be handed over outside the warehouse."
"Yes! The last general commands! Yang Wengan put the token on his body, rode a fast horse and left, Li Jiancheng hurriedly said to Wei Zheng:
"Xuancheng! You immediately do two things for the palace, first, quickly order the garrison near Yongfeng to quickly rush to the aid of Yongfeng, second, immediately write a letter to tell the father the emperor about the matter, and third, order all the checkpoints, for the past Tang army and merchants, all the way to strictly investigate, once there is anything wrong, kill it......" Tang Jian, Yu Yun, Liu Shirang and others looked at Li Jiancheng giving orders, and felt a little strange in their hearts:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's going on! In addition, His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers and others have emptied the handsome tent and prepared a sumptuous banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all of you, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... "Li Jiancheng didn't care about Tang Jian, Yu Yun, Liu Shirang and others for their hospitality. said directly and coldly:
"No need, ladies and gentlemen, this palace still has important business to do, so I won't delay here any longer." After speaking, Li Jiancheng also rode his war horse, left with Congren and Wei Zheng, looking at Li Jiancheng's distant back, Tang Jian, Yu Yun, Liu Shirang and others suddenly had a shadow in their hearts:
"Lord Tang, how do I feel that we are about to come to a catastrophe." Tang Jian also suddenly felt that he was careless - His Royal Highness the Prince instructed me to closely monitor Dugu Huaien before leaving, and now it's okay, Dugu Huaien not only ran away, but may also cause a big incident! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not let me go, will His Royal Highness King Qin protect me when the time comes? At this time, Tang Jian, Yu Yun, Liu Shirang and others all thought about it. Moreover, Tang Jian, Yu Yun, Liu Shirang and others all looked in the direction of Yongfengcang.
Yongfeng Cang is full of heavily guarded soldiers and ox carts and horse-drawn carts that are transported in and out. It was loaded with food supplies brought in from all over the world, as well as ordnance and livestock to be transported. The main book of Yongfeng Cang is reporting to Li Xiaochang, Li Xiaochang is lying on a recliner, holding a feather fan in his hand and shaking, since he took refuge in Li Tang, to be precise, after taking refuge in Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaochang feels that the authority in his hand has increased a lot compared to the time of the former Sui, just said that this Yongfeng Cang, in the former Sui, was an ordinary granary, and now not only reserves grain, Li Jiancheng is an excuse for the urgency of the war, The entire Tang Army's grain, grass, ordnance, horses, and military supplies and the transfer of materials and officials in the Guanzhong area were handed over to Li Xiaochang's hands, and now anyone who sees Li Xiaochang, no matter how big the background is behind it, how big the backer, in front of Li Xiaochang, if you want the best ordnance, sufficient military supplies, the best horses, and sufficient material supplies, you have to go through Li Xiaochang's pass, and call Li Xiaochang a Li manager. Either say that the people are not enough, if you dare to refute it, then ensure that what you want will wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and the official's fortune will not be available, so there are many impeachments of Li Xiaochang in the court, saying that Li Xiaochang is corrupt, openly asking for bribes, and making things difficult for officials from all walks of life, if it were not for Li Jiancheng to reconcile and defend in front of Li Yuan, I am afraid that Li Xiaochang's head would have been cut off many times, which also strengthened Li Xiaochang's loyalty to Li Jiancheng's mind:
"Lord Qiyu, now Yongfeng Cang has 2 million stones of grain, 500,000 bundles of forage, 300,000 horses of cloth, 5,000 horses of Shu brocade, 1 million catties of sea salt, 10,000 catties of gunpowder, and 100,000 cattle and sheep transported from the area of Longxi in Monan have been transported into the barn, as well as 1,000 new ox carts, 3,400 horse-drawn carts, 300 original broken ox carts and 1,500 horse-drawn carriages have been repaired, and a total of 4,751 people have gone out to transport grain. There are 5,484 new prisoners in the Wugong area, and this barracks is no longer enough, so please build another batch, and in addition, 30,000 horses of cloth, 2,000 horses of Shu brocade, 150,000 stones of grain, and 200,000 catties of salt have been loaded and ready to be transported at any time. The five million taels of silver for the military pay officials transferred to the Jingzhou area have also been equipped, but the vehicles are not enough, and the military rations of His Royal Highness King Qin are 120,000 stones, 6,000 bundles of forage, 160,000 sets of clothes, 40,000 catties of sea salt, and 1,000 catties of gunpowder have been transported, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin has sent someone to say, ......"
"Say what?"
"King Qin said that the supplies have been received, but they are still not enough, so he hopes that we will transport some more supplies."
"What, the supplies are not enough. Are the people under His Royal Highness King Qin all rice buckets? It's not enough for so much grain and grass to be transported over, and I'm not afraid of bursting my stomach. Li Xiaochang threw away the feather fan irritably, and Li Xiaochang's subordinate master immediately picked up Li Xiaochang's feather fan, knowing in his heart that this Lord Li Xiaochang has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin now has a very delicate relationship with the East Palace, and a few days ago there was a little unpleasantness with His Royal Highness the Prince, even if it is an official who is far away from Chang'an, as long as it belongs to the noble officials of the family, they all have more or less some news, but those present are all people who have been in the officialdom for a long time. For this kind of thing, most of them are in the left ear and out of the right ear, and silence is golden:
"Forget it, now the Eastern Crusade is important, and if the King of Qin impeaches me for delaying the military situation and ruining the major affairs of the Eastern Crusade, I am afraid that in the future, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to defend me! Okay, we will give as much as the King of Qin wants, the military situation is important, if it is really not enough, cut off the other places first, it is better to shorten the other places than the King of Qin, do you know? The officials under Li Xiaochang nodded and said:
"Yes! My lord! It's just that this material is easy to handle, and there are livestock, but it's difficult for this people, you know, now there are conscriptions everywhere, and the young and strong parts of this folk have been conscripted into the army, and this transportation is an important person, so we can't send all the soldiers out! Li Xiao angrily threw the feather fan directly.
"You don't know how to use your brains! You have to ask labor and management about everything, and your heads are full of pig brains! When Li Xiaochang was reprimanding his subordinates, someone reported:
"Lord Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone, please go quickly."
"Okay! Got it! ”
