Gongsun Yan and Touchlong led 5,000 Zhao troops to leave Handan, and arrived in Pinglu through Shangdang, Tunliu, Gaodu and other places controlled by Zhao, and received 500,000 stone of grain from Tang to Zhao.

Although Pinglu has suffered from the baptism of war continuously, as the former capital of Yuguo, 500,000 stone grain can still be obtained.

After Touchlong and Gongsun Yan entered the city, they saw that the streets and alleys of Pinglu had already been lined up with dense carriages, with no head in front and no tail in sight, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of carriages.

The judge personally went out of the city to greet him, and said to Touchlong and Gongsun Yan: "I learned that the envoy came to receive the grain, and the match has ordered someone to load the grain into the carriage in advance. Each cart is 60 stones, a total of 4,500 carts, this is the first batch of 270,000 stone grain, which can be transported to Handan at any time. ”

He was already in his fifties, and the slightly pale bearded Touch Dragon frowned slightly when he heard this: "Didn't you say that 500,000 stone of grain was ready, why did you only prepare 270,000 stone of grain?" ”

"Huh...... That is true! ”

The judge explained with a smile, "Pinglu has been hit by war, countless vehicles have been damaged, and horses are scarce. He gathered together all the vehicles in the city, and raised many mules and horses from the people's homes, but he could only transport 270,000 stones. After transporting this batch of grain to Handan and returning, it will be delivered again. ”

Without waiting for the dragon to speak, Gongsun Yan hurriedly said: "That's okay, the Wei army led by Pang Juan is stationed in Yongcheng, one hundred and fifty miles away, and it may come to rob grain at any time, and it is safer to transport it in two parts." ”

Touching the dragon's face was displeased, and he complained: "It's just 500,000 stone grain, why do you need to divide it into batches?" ”

The judge said with a smile: "My Tang Kingdom has just been established, and there is a lack of cars and horses, how can it be compared with Da Zhao?" Moreover, it was cut off from the center by the Wei army, and it was impossible to requisition vehicles from Hanoi and Xingyang, and 4,500 carriages was already the maximum limit. ”

Touching the dragon is not a mean person, and immediately agreed: "In this case, let's transport it in batches, and then the old man will personally inspect the carriage to see what the quality of the grain in the sack is?" ”

With his hands behind his back, the dragon led a dozen henchmen to stop in front of several carriages, and ordered: "Select some sacks from them and check whether the grain is rotten?" ”

"Whoa!"

More than a dozen Zhao Jun agreed, and immediately took down some sacks from the carriage and opened the seals for inspection, all of which were some fresh corn and rice, which looked full and full and of good quality.

More than a dozen Zhao Jun have been inspecting seven or eight carriages and weighing them with rod scales, and have not found that they are shoddy, and there is a shortage of catties and two.

"Report to the left division, the grain on all the wagons is of high quality and weight." Zhao Jun truthfully reported to Touchlong.

"We have to continue to check, and we can't neglect a carriage!"

Touching the dragon waved his hand and ordered: "Command all the soldiers, each in charge of a carriage, and give me all the sacks to check next to each other." If you are short of two catties after being transported back to Handan, you will be responsible for yourself! ”

"Tang Gong has arrived!"

Before the dragon's order could be heard, a long series of shouts rang out at the gates of the city.

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, I saw Fang Li with Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and more than 100 horsemen, and quickly whipped into Pinglu City.

"Wait for the lord to meet the lord!"

The judge and Liao Hua and others hurriedly made a salute, and Gongsun Yan also followed the salute and called the lord.

Fang Li turned over and dismounted, didn't bother to greet the trial and the others to get up, and first saluted Touchlong and Gongsun Yan: "I heard that the left division of Touchlong of Zhao State personally came to Pinglu to escort grain, and the widow came to pay respects. ”

Touching the dragon was flattered, and hurriedly hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Hehe...... How can the old man dare to let Tang Gong run back and forth? ”

Fang Li looked like he had admired his name for a long time, and said loudly: "I heard that Master Zuo has a deep study of the way of vertical and horizontal, and the widow has long had the heart to ask for advice, it is rare to see it today, so you should get drunk and rest!" ”

Fang Li couldn't help but pull the dragon and went straight to the Taishou Mansion: "Judge, immediately prepare a wine feast to entertain Master Zuo, and wash the dust for him and Mr. Gongsun." ”

What else did Touch Long want to say, he had already been surrounded by Cao Cao, Judge and others and went straight to Taishou Mansion, and when he reached his throat, he instantly forgot about it.

Liao Hua said to Gongsun Yan in the back: "Lord Gongsun, the soldiers of Zhao State have traveled a long distance and are tired from the journey. ”

Gongsun Yan immediately waved his sleeves and ordered: "Let's follow General Liao Hua into the camp for dinner!" ”

The 5,000 Zhao troops cheered and followed Liao Hua into the Tang army barracks, and they all feasted and ate a full meal.

And the alcoholic Touch Dragon couldn't withstand the persuasion of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang State in the Taishou Mansion, and frequently raised his glass, and soon got drunk, and was personally sent to the post house by the judge, Gongsun Yan and others.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness of the Touching Dragon, Fang Li quietly used his mind to command the system in his mind: "Inquire about the four dimensions of the Touching Dragon for the widow?" ”

The system responds with an answer: "Boom...... Touching the Dragon - Domination 63, Wu Yong 48, Strategy 83, Internal Affairs"

Fang Li muttered to himself in his heart: "The ability is acceptable, enough to serve as the guard of a county, but if you are greedy and misguided, this time it will be planted in the hands of a widow." ”

In the dead of night, Gongsun Yan quietly came to see Fang Li, and said: "Yan has no two hearts for the lord, and he can return at any time to serve the Tang Dynasty." This touch dragon is quite prestigious in Zhao State, even Zhao Yong respects him very much, the only drawback is that he is greedy for a cup, he drank a little too much today, I'm afraid that he won't wake up at noon tomorrow! ”

Fang Li hurriedly motioned to Gongsun Yanping: "If Mr. Lao Gongsun bother, my Datang will definitely leave you a pivotal position." ”

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the dragon was still asleep, snoring like thunder.

Gongsun Yan ordered to carry the dragon into the carriage and set off before dawn.

"In order to avoid being detected by the Wei army and robbing the grain, Yan and Master Zuo said goodbye and escorted the grain back to Handan as soon as possible, so that Zhao Gong could send troops to attack Wei as soon as possible!"

Gongsun Yan pretended to say goodbye to Fang Li, led 5,000 Zhao troops to escort more than 4,000 carriages, and with the help of more than 5,000 coachmen and 3,000 Tang troops, he wrote farewell to the monarchs and ministers of Tang State, and went straight to Zhao State from the north gate of Pinglu.

In order to prevent Touchlong and Gongsun Yan from being injured by the Wei army, Fang Lizhi ordered Zhao Yun and Zhu Rong to lead 3,000 Tang troops to accompany them, and they must make every effort to ensure the safety of Touchlong.

It's the beginning of March, the weather is getting warmer, and the willows are sprouting and red.

The weather was neither hot nor cold, it was a good time to hurry, under the supervision of Gongsun Yan, this team went all out, and walked more than 30 miles in half a day.

It wasn't until noon that the dragon woke up, rubbed his head and asked, "Where is this old decay?" ”

Gongsun Yan, who was in the same car, smiled and said, "Master Zuo, have you finally woken up?" In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the sky was not bright, so Yan took the team out of the city. Let's travel day and night, and we will be able to arrive in our Zhao country tomorrow evening. ”

"What a mistake!"

Touching the dragon patted his head in annoyance, and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Have you checked all the grain, is there any shoddy, short catty and short two?" ”

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "Master Zuo, please rest assured, Yan personally checked the gates, and all the grain trucks were checked next to each other. ”

"That's good!"

Touching the dragon was relieved, and was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen jars of fine wine in the carriage, and couldn't help but smile, "But then again, the wine of the Tang Kingdom is really memorable!" ”

Gongsun Yan pointed to a bunch of wine jars: "These are all given by Tang Gong to Master Zuo." ”

Touching the dragon was overjoyed: "Tang Gongye, who knows me!" The journey is lonely, how about Gongsun accompany the old man to have a few more drinks? ”

At that moment, Gongsun Yan and Touchlong pushed the cup in the carriage and exchanged lamps, and drank some dried meat, pickles, fried beans and other wine and food. Within an hour, the dragon was drunk again and fell asleep.

It was late in the evening, and Gongsun Yan ordered him to rest on the spot for an hour, and after eating and drinking, he hurried overnight.

Suddenly, a team of 20,000 people was killed from the oblique stab, and under the banner of the Wei army, under the leadership of the Wei generals Deng Lu and Wei Gu, they quickly rushed to the grain cart.

"Burn all the grain wagons!"

After all, there were still 50,000 Tang troops stationed in Yongcheng behind him, and the Wei generals, who came to rob the grain on Pang Juan's order, knew that they could not transport the grain back to the Wei army camp, so they ordered the grain to be set on fire.

Soon the killing was loud, and the driver who escorted the grain cart hurriedly untied the horses, mules, and donkeys pulling the cart, and retreated in the direction of Pinglu like a swarm under the escort of 3,000 Tang troops.

The Zhao army hurriedly resisted for a while, and could not resist the Wei army, which was outnumbered, so it could only protect Touchlong and Gongsun Yan and flee north.

Wei Gu led the Wei army to chase for more than 20 miles, and killed more than 2,000 Zhao troops, but fortunately, after Zhao Yun and Zhu Rong fought to the death, they helped the Zhao army to shake off the pursuit of the Wei army.

Under the command of Deng Lu, the Wei army set fire and burned more than 4,000 wagons and grain.

The mountains were all over the field, like a fiery dragon, and the Wei army did not retreat until it was completely burned out.

The Tang scouts immediately flew to Yongcheng to report to Fang Li: "Lord Qi, the Wei army really burned grain halfway, and beheaded more than 2,000 Zhao troops. ”

Fang Li laughed when he heard the newspaper: "Haha...... I don't think Zhao Yong will send troops this time? It's just a pity that more than 4,000 carriages were all burned! ”

Zhao Yun and Zhu Rong had been escorting Touch Long and Gongsun Yan to the territory of Zhao before leaving, and Touch Long had long been frightened by the fire and had no sense of alcohol, and returned to Handan with a long sigh all the way.

Gongsun Yan told Touch the Dragon: "Master Zuo, when you return to Handan, you must hide the drunkenness, so as not to annoy the lord!" ”

Touching the dragon couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "If I touch the dragon again in the future, I will be burned to death by this raging fire!" ”

Without the grain wagon, the frightened Zhao army increased its speed and returned to Handan at noon the next day.

Touching the dragon cried and came to see Zhao Yong, knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and concealed the drunkenness, only saying that he was robbed of grain by the Wei army at the junction of Tang and Zhao, and not only burned all the grain, but also lost more than 2,000 soldiers.

Zhao Yong couldn't help but be angry, and said: "There is no contradiction between the widow and Zhao Wei, so he didn't send troops to attack Wei, this Pang Juan really doesn't take the widow in his eyes." Immediately summoned Lian Po and Zhao Hao to see the widows, each raised 80,000 troops, and smashed the Wei capital Yecheng! ”
