Chapter 114: Something Happened

Under the moonlight, the three friends, who had been separated for several months, shook each other's hands vigorously.

"Zhang Ping, Xiang Wan, you are finally here. Bai Meng sniffed, his face was excited and aggrieved, and he seemed to be about to cry.

Zhang Ping and Lin Xiangwan couldn't help but glance at each other.

What's going on?

During the day, the little fat man reminded them that the wall has ears, and now he has put on this posture of asking for support when he sees his relatives. Could it be that someone bullied this little fat man?

Lin Xiangwan smiled, and Zhang Ping frowned slightly.

"Bai Meng, what's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

Bai Meng remembered the big event, and knew that now was not the time to catch up, so he quickly put away those grievances, looked around, and said quickly, "Something is wrong!"

Something is wrong?

Zhang Ping and Lin Xiangwan's faces also changed at the same time.

Bai Meng didn't wait for the two of them to ask, so he started talking.

"A few days ago, the military reports from the military headquarters increased suddenly, I paid more attention, carefully looked through all the official documents sent, but found that ......" Bai Meng said here, swallowed his saliva, and said a little nervously, "but I found that the imperial court seems to be cutting off the supply of the Yanbei army." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ping's faces became more and more solemn.

At this juncture, is the emperor going to attack the Yanbei Army?

The two glanced at each other, and both saw doubt and solemnity in each other's eyes.

Bai Meng continued, "At first, I also doubted my conjecture. Although, since that night, we all know that the emperor will attack the Yanbei army sooner or later, but after all, the war with the barbarians is now stalemate, and if the emperor doesn't want something to happen in the northern Xinjiang, he shouldn't attack the Tang family at this time. But ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Meng raised his head and looked around again, and then lowered his head and whispered, "However, in the past half a month, the grain and grass sent from all over the Central Plains have obviously gone wrong. Not to mention the inexplicable increase in various losses on the road, even the grain and grass sent to Youzhou were personally taken over by Wang Ruhai, the chief eunuch of the prison army. ”

That Wang Ruhai was the chief eunuch who was the pen next to the emperor, but this time he was sent by the imperial court to the north and served as a prisoner;

Zhang Ping and Lin Xiangwan glanced at each other again.

Bai Meng took his hand and said in a low voice, "When those military rations arrived in Wang Ruhai's hands, and when they were distributed again, the accounts were obviously passive, and a batch of grain and grass in his hands was turned around several times, and they often disappeared mysteriously in the end. And the part that is missing is used as a loss on the road......"

After listening to Bai Meng's words, Zhang Ping sighed heavily.

"Bai Meng, how much grain and grass is there in Youzhou City now?" Lin Xiangwan suddenly asked.

By the time she left, their Red Character Battalion had less than a month's worth of food, and if they didn't get supplies, the Red Character Battalion, which was already alone, would probably be annoyed......

"I don't know. Bai Meng had a round face and said quickly, "According to my analysis, the grain and herbs sent by the imperial court to Youzhou are less than half of what is on the books. Now, Wang Ruhai has moved again, and the actual grain storage is probably only clear to Wang Ruhai. Therefore, in the past half a month, the grain and grass that should have been sent to the battalions have all been postponed by General Hu Bugui......"

"How can this be?" Lin Xiangwan frowned slightly, "How dare they? Even if they don't care about the lives of the 200,000 soldiers in front, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still supervising the battle in Qingzhou City in front of them." These people dare to do anything with grain and grass, is it possible that the emperor doesn't even care about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Not necessarily. Bai Meng shook his head, "According to my analysis, the emperor should not completely cut off the supply of the Yanbei army." This time, the grain and grass that should have been sent on the surface were all in the accounts, but they were secretly shorted by other means. So, I guess, this is just a warning from the emperor to the Tang family of the Northern Marquis. After all, you also know that since Tang Xing returned to the northern frontier, the Yanbei army under the command of the Tang family has faintly shown signs of breaking away from the control of the imperial court recently......"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhang Ping shook his head, he didn't know what he thought, and his face became more and more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiangwan asked, looking up.

"Don't forget you, in the capital, in addition to the emperor's people, the forces behind those princes are not vegetarians......" Zhang Ping sighed.

For the position of the crown prince, those princes have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and this time in the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid they didn't think about it carefully, right?

Now, the emperor intends to embarrass the Yanbei army, and it is difficult to ensure that those princes will not take advantage of life to make other small moves......

After all, for those princes, wouldn't it be better if this prince who was born out of thin air died on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang?

Lin Xiangwan understood. She was born into a big family, and she naturally knows more about the dumping of these imperial harems than others.

In the moonlight, the three young men fell silent at the same time.

Now, the teachers and commanders of the academy are not around, what are they going to do?

After a while, Bai Meng raised his head and glanced at the two good friends.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiangwan glared at him angrily and smashed on his shoulder.

"It hurts!" Bai Meng took an exaggerated deep breath, "Lin Xiangwan, no matter how rude you are, you won't be able to get married!"

"I want you to take care of it. Lin Xiangwan clenched his fist and struck again.

Bai Meng hurriedly rushed behind Zhang Ping, and his identity was so flexible that it was beyond the imagination of others for a fat man.

"Alright, you all don't make a fuss. The two of them were fighting like this, and Zhang Ping also smiled.

Bai Meng sighed and suddenly said, "There is one more thing, which is also very spicy." ”

Zhang Ping and Lin Xiangwan glanced at each other, and their hearts tightened at the same time.

What's the tricky stuff?

"You don't know," Bai Meng shook his head and said in a low voice, "Judging from Wang Ruhai's accounts, most of the grain and grass that he looted was in the name of a reserve for friendly troops. Although, we have long known that the emperor intends to let General Gu Da draw elites from several other border armies, but, judging from the official documents sent by the military department, General Gu Da does not seem to have moved......"

When Lin Xiangwan and Zhang Ping heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Could it be that that kid in Zhou Zechen succeeded?" Lin Xiangwan said with some surprise.

Bai Meng and Zhang Ping shook their heads at the same time.

"I don't know," Zhang Ping said, "since I went to the Qingzi Camp, I have lost contact with the teachers of the academy. ”

"Me too. Bai Meng was a little dejected, "Dean Chen, in order to protect us students from Qingyi Academy, took the initiative to cut off us on the front line. But the Emperor still doesn't seem to be at ease with us...... In the compound of the military headquarters, there were at least five or six pairs of eyes, all staring at me. ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

Lin Xiangwan also looked in the direction of the northern prairie with a solemn face.

A few of their young people, in this world-renowned war, were insignificant little people, and the people in the court still treated them like this.

What about vegetarians?

Thinking of the girl who went deep into the vast prairie alone, the expressions of the three young people became solemn at the same time.
