In fact, for the war initiated by Li Guifu, Shen Yun hated it from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that Shen Yun wants to be a Qingping county magistrate. It's just that now that the autumn harvest is imminent, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, Western Xia will take the opportunity to attack Gyeongju in a big way. The crops that the people of Anhua County have worked so hard to grow this year are afraid that a big war will be ruined. If this war is postponed by a month, or two months earlier, Shen Yun will definitely accept it.

The fifth day of the seventh month is not a special day. But on this day, Li Guifu's cronies in the government office came to Shen Yun with his edict.

"Shen Zhixian, the government has an order, let you take the collected grain and go to Dashun City to defend it. The affairs of the county should be handed over to Jin County. One sentence made Shen Yun's heart tighten. He understood that this was Lee Gyu-fu's revenge on him. Once the war starts, Dashun City will naturally bear the brunt, and if Shen Yun can't garrison Dashun City, then he will bear great responsibility.

Even if there are any unfavorable factors in the battle situation, Li Guifu can calculate it on his head.

But there is no way, Dashun City is also under the jurisdiction of Anhua County. Li Guifu's order was reasonable, and even if he arrived at the court, there was still no reason to refuse.

"In that case, then give me Li Zhizhou's warrant." Shen Yun knew Li Guifu's malice towards him, so he became extremely cautious at this time. Everything related to Li Guifu and even this war, Shen Yun is ready to keep it alive. At that time, even if something goes wrong, Shen Yun will have something to say.

Li Guifu's cronies didn't expect Shen Yun to agree so happily, but after being a little surprised, he handed over the edict to Shen Yun. After Shen Yun opened it, he carefully read it a few times before he nodded: "Since this is the case, then please return to Li Zhizhou, and the county will immediately bring someone to escort the grain to Dashun City." ”

In fact, Shen Yun understood that Li Guifu also got a little bit of cattiness for Shen Yun in the edict. That's the last sentence of the camera acting.

What is a camera, what is a camera? There's so much to say here. Li Guifu wanted to use this sentence to set a trap for Shen Yun, but he didn't expect that it was precisely because of this sentence that Shen Yun had room to improvise.

Escorting grain, it is not possible to count on the county officers, Shen Yun sent someone to call Jiang Ji.

"Captain Jiang, immediately gather all the people under your command, leave a few people to watch the people of the Kuang family, and the rest of the people, all of them will go to Dashun City with me." The first time he saw Jiang Ji, Shen Yun ordered Jiang Ji in an unquestioning tone.

"Dashun City?" Jiang Ji was not a fool, looking at Shen Yun's serious expression, he instantly understood what was going on. Knowing that it might be inappropriate, Jiang Ji still asked, "County Zun, is Xixia going to war with us?" If this is the case, then Dashun City will be too dangerous, if you don't escort the grain and grass to it, and the county will stay. “

Jiang Ji has been living a really comfortable life with Shen Yun during this time. Not only was the monthly payment paid at full term without arrears, but also because of the Kuang family's affairs, more than 800 people shared thousands of dollars. In Jiang Ji's heart, with this magistrate, the future may not be guaranteed, but there is a lot of money. At least this one didn't owe them as much as the one before him.

Facing Jiang Ji's kindness, Shen Yun shook his head.

"It's not that Western Xia wants to use troops against us, but that Li Zhizhou insists on starting a war against Western Xia. The reason, if you think about the Kuang family, you will know. It's just that he gave a strict order for me to go to Dashun City with the army to supervise the battle. The time of war was not the same as before, and his orders could not be disobeyed. That's why the county wants you to light up all the people under you, and when the time comes, the camera will act. ”

Shen Yun didn't hide anything from Jiang Ji.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Ji was not timid, and bowed to Shen Yun very firmly: "Jiang Ji respectfully obeys the orders of the county. So I sent to inform the brethren who were outside the city that they would be assembled outside the city gate before three quarters to this day. At that time, the county will take the carriage and horse out of the city, and we will escort the county until Dashun City. ”

After a sonorous promise, Shen Yun walked down and patted Jiang Ji on the shoulder: "This time, the life of this county will be in the hands of you, Captain Jiang." ”

Watching Jiang Ji leave, Shen Yun sighed in a low voice.

This is the first time he is about to experience war. It's impossible to say that you are not nervous. At this time, his heart was like the leaves on the birch tree that had grown for an unknown number of years, and there was only a trace of connection with the tree. When the autumn wind blows, this trace of implication may be completely blown off.

was about to summon Cangcao over, and after thinking about it, Shen Yun was still ready to go there in person.

The granary of Anhua County is in a remote place in the north of the city. Entering the gate, there were more than a hundred granaries, neatly arranged in front of Shen Yun.

Seeing Shen Yun coming, Cang Cao hurriedly stepped forward to visit: "I'm waiting to see the county honor, I'm checking the grain storage in the warehouse today, if the county is free, you might as well go with the villain to have a look." Shen Yun originally wanted to be in a hurry, but after thinking about it, he hadn't been to the granary since he took office, so he might as well open his eyes today.

Nodding, Shen Yun walked into a granary. The structure of the granary is extremely exquisite, and Shen Yun didn't expect that it was actually a deep pit inside. Cangcao brought Shen Yun here, and he was inspecting the warehouse at this time. I saw a group of people put the straw bundles under them, and then they covered the planks. The smooth planks were covered with straw mats, and then the bran was sprinkled.

The whole process is rigorous and orderly, and the people who do it are already proficient.

Shen Yun nodded in praise, and then instructed Cang Cao: "Have you ever bagged the grain you transported some time ago?" Today, I received an order from Li Zhizhou to transfer grain to Dashun City. Now take someone to load it into a chariot and go out of the city with me in the early hours of the day. ”

Cang Cao's actions still made Shen Yun feel more at ease, and before he was on time, he came to report: "County Zun, the grain that the state capital needs, the villain has already sent someone to load it into a big cart." As long as the county lord gives an order, the grain truck can set off. Estimating the time to go out of the city, Shen Yun nodded: "Since this is the case, then let the coachmen eat enough, and then they have to hurry, and they can't stop to eat and rest without passing through Zhendian." “

Cangcao was naturally ordered to do it.

At the beginning of the day, Shen Yun took dozens of carts on time and came to the north gate of the county seat under the curious eyes of the people of Anhua.

At this time, Jiang Ji had already assembled 700 soldiers and was standing in a strict formation half a mile outside the north gate. Seeing Shen Yun leading the convoy out of the city, he hurriedly greeted him and lined up on both sides of the escort formation. There were those who opened the way, and then there were guards.

At the end of summer, the scenery outside the city is still so pleasant. The green trees, and the green crops, Shen Yun couldn't help it, got out of the carriage, learned Jiang Ji to ride on a docile horse, and looked left and right.

Although it is an official road, it is still a somewhat flat loess road that has been repaired. There are too many cars and horses to go, and it is inevitable that dust will be raised. From a distance, the convoy looks like a long, earthy yellow dragon. Shen Yun felt a little sorry, if he had a formula such as concrete in his hand, or had the ability to burn cement by the local method, maybe now he could bring some changes to the official road of the Great Song Dynasty with the power in his hand.

But just think about it, Shen Yun still doesn't have that ability in the end.

Looking at the scenery along the way, fantasizing about some unrealistic things, before you know it, the sun has set west to the distance of the heavy mountains. The first time he escorted grain and grass, Shen Yun didn't know the rules, so he didn't rashly give an order. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ji who was following him and asked, "Captain Jiang, are you still preparing to hurry tonight?" I see that it is late at this time, and if it continues, I will bury the pot at this time to make rice, and it will also save the night flame from causing some unnecessary trouble. ”

"Returning to the county, it depends on when the military order requires these grains to be delivered to Dashun City. If it's just two or three days, you'll have to travel overnight. If you have more time, you might as well find a nearby town to stay, and then set off tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing Jiang Ji's answer, Shen Yun couldn't help but take out the edict that Li Guifu had given him. I don't want to be as Jiang Ji said, this guy only gave him two and a half days, that is to say, in the evening of the day after tomorrow, he must go to Dashun City.

This Li Guifu is really scheming, and the straight-line distance from Anhua County to Dashun City is two hundred and sixty miles. In the middle, because of the heavy mountains, some places had to be detoured, so from the moment Shen Yun received Li Gui's reply, he had to rush to Dashun City at a speed of at least fifteen miles in an hour.

If it's a single person, it's okay, but this way, where is the speed of the soldiers, carts, and horses. There is no way, this way I really have to avoid Shen Yun and the others for two days and two nights.

Thinking of all this, Shen Yun immediately ordered: "Let the soldiers stop and bury the pot to cook immediately." After eating, I rested for half an hour and hurried tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we must go to Fengchuan Town. Where can you eat some more, trim for an hour, and the morning after tomorrow, you have to arrive at Liyuan Fort anyway. “

Although Fengchuan Town and Liyuanbao are both the boundaries of Huachi County, in order to ensure the safety of food, Shen Yun has already sent someone to send another document to Huachi County. After all, hundreds of soldiers rashly intruded into other people's territory, and it was somewhat taboo.

Jiang Ji received the order to pass it backwards, and for a while everyone sat down on the ground. For the firehead army, he had to force himself to take out the head and cook for so many people.

The sun gradually set over the mountain, and the evening breeze suddenly blew away some of the heat. Sitting on horseback, Shen Yun looked at the continuous mountains, and suddenly came from nowhere: "The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang are not paying attention." The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city. A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan. Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general's white hair is crying. ”

An indescribable emotion suddenly rose from Shen Yun's heart.
