According to the secret discussion with Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyun, Xu Wenhan took advantage of the far-fetched money and grain of the country to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and almost vacated nearly half of the largest official warehouse in Chang'an City. He invisibly and indirectly created a windfall for the Qin family, who was hoarding grain, but caused a thorny problem to Yang.

Swallowing it into the stomach is the bone and spitting out the meat, at this time, the weight of grain and grass in Yang Zhi's hands is not only an embarrassing wealth, but also a huge burden. When I went to the palace for a banquet yesterday, everything was improvised. At that time, I only thought about taking over the military power and going out of the city as soon as possible with enough food and grass, and I really didn't seriously consider what to do with it when time was so tight. As soon as he left the city, he deeply understood what it meant to have both fish and bear's paws, and even whimsically remembered the magical storage ring in the web novel in his previous life.

While thinking about countermeasures when riding the horse and leading the army, he couldn't help but scold again and again: The laborious errand of showing up fell on my head, and it made the Qin family pick up a big bargain! After the incident, if he didn't blame the Qin family and his son, Lao Tzu would be too sorry for himself. The old fox of a broken grain store dared to ask for four million taels, and had your mother's spring and autumn dream! At least you have to pay nothing! …… Well? Grain line? Grain line!

Even if his eyes bleed sharply and he scolded the sky, it would never be possible for the prince to wait for him halfway Yang Zhi to enter Tongguan first. Fortunately, Yang Zhi had expected that sooner or later there would be today's step, and he had a rough outline in his mind of how to act after leading the troops. Come to think of it, it's not that there is no solution. Seeing that it was nearly noon, he had just walked out of Chang'an for more than 20 miles, Yang Zhi immediately made a decision, simply dismounted and found a sheltered place to rest temporarily, and ordered the captain of the 10th battalion to come to discuss the matter quickly.

At this time, Yang Zhi was not only a new boss and a heartfelt idol in the eyes of the ten captains, but also a splendid future that fell from the sky and smashed on his head. Although the soldiers and horses looked at each other for twenty miles, before a meal, ten lieutenants rushed to gather and obey orders like dead old men.

The ten lieutenants were all very young, and the oldest looked to be less than thirty years old. It took less than a day from the time it was determined that Yang Zhi would lead the troops to meet the troops to the point of selecting soldiers and horses to leave the city. In fact, it was very rushed. After subduing Qixi, Yang Zhi truly felt the benefits of gradually cultivating the power of the lineage. But only Qixi is obviously not enough, and it has also become a problem for him. He didn't know the details of the ten young lieutenants, and now the situation was urgent. I had to take local materials and look at them while using them.

Yang Zhixian was not busy explaining why he was urgently summoning them, but asked each of them one by one about their names, ages, origins, and brief experiences. He had the ability to never forget, and he had an excellent memory, and after asking, he repeated it, and there was no mistake or omission.

What young junior officers look forward to most is a reward for meritorious service. What stimulates their blood the most is the verbal agitation. According to Yang Zhi's draft, it is necessary to put out a few convincing and powerful reasons in turn: "What I should say, I said it in the school field of the forbidden army camp last night, and I didn't make it clear to you one point. When I selected the soldiers and horses yesterday, I didn't say anything about the cavalry generals, the vanguard generals, and I didn't even ask for a partial general, but only selected your ten captains, do you know why? Because I know that you are not doing well in the forbidden army, which is known as the elite of Great Xia, and I want to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions and be rewarded, this section must be well understood. ”

"I don't forget the ...... of Master Hou. Oh no, it's the general's favor! ”

"That's not a word! Don't be too busy thanking me just yet. Yang Zhiyi shook his hand and said: "Let me ask you again, the emperor won the victory and the crown prince led a large army to accompany the guard, why did His Royal Highness the King of Yue and the four important ministers of the state send us to meet us?" ”

Ten young men can stand out among many soldiers and be selected as captains, no matter how much ink they have in their stomachs, they must not be fools. Yang Zhi's question was too sensitive, and the ten people looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a while.

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "In fact, the entire Chang'an has already been rumored to be full of wind and rain, and there is nothing to taboo. Presumably everyone has heard that the emperor was sick on the way to the class. The rumor that the prince wanted to take the opportunity to kill his father and usurp the rebellion also spread secretly. In order to quell the rumors as soon as possible, and to restore calm to the situation as soon as possible, we were sent to meet them. So don't kill the enemy because you're not going to battle. I thought there was no chance to make a difference. It must be remembered that our expedition is related to the national fortunes of Great Xia, and it is the important military affairs of Tianzi No. 1! Even if you only follow back and forth, it is enough to be called a great achievement. Do you get it? ”

“…… I see. ”

Yang Zhi's face suddenly sank and said, "This understands?" I don't think so! Brothers, as soldiers, our mission is not only to defend against foreign aggression and expand our territory. It is even more of a responsibility to maintain the stability of Daxia and ensure the stability of the lives of the common people! To put it mildly, there is a way that there is no wind and no waves, and God knows whether the rumors are true or false? As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. We must muster up the spirit of 120,000 and be ready for both! Only after rushing to Tongguan in front of the escort soldiers and horses, and after I saw the emperor's true illness with my own eyes, can I judge whether the rumors that have been widely circulated outside are indeed rumors. ”

One of the lieutenants plucked up his courage and asked, "General, what do you think we should do now?" Also, if the rumors are true....... ”

Yang Zhi praised encouragingly: "Good question! It is not yet possible to say whether the rumors are true or not. According to the news reported back by the military newspaper at the front, the vanguard unit escorted by the prince had entered Luoyang at 10 o'clock in the evening of 27 December. Even if they only advanced at a normal marching pace, they could reach Tongguan within four days at the latest. The situation is so urgent that I have summoned my brothers to discuss what we should do now. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue and several important ministers of the state have allocated us enough 40,000 soldiers and horses to support a month's grain and grass, considering the current special season, bad weather and extremely sensitive overall situation, so that we will not have to worry about the lack of food and grass, so as not to be controlled by others. Originally, this was a good intention, but it became a burden to slow us down! Everyone has seen that if we continue to walk like this, it will be very good to be able to travel forty or fifty miles a day. Although it is only more than 300 miles to Tongguan, it will take us at least seven or eight days to reach it. In case the rumors are true, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold by then! Maybe before he can reach Tongguan, he will collide head-on with the prince's escort soldiers and horses! If this is the case, then we are the sinners of Great Xia through the ages! It is conceivable that not only will I become the laughing stock of the world, but you will never turn over in the army! ”

Yang Zhi used to pave the way for a thing, which was often false and real, and the top ten were nonsense. This time, in order to let the ten lieutenants die hard to be sent by himself, he sometimes held them up to the sky. Sometimes they are pushed to hell, and nine and a half of the ten sentences are true.

The ten captains all looked frightened and dazed, stunned for a moment, and quickly exchanged glances with each other. They all bowed to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I implore the general to make decisions for us, and we will swear to serve us to the death!" ”

"Brothers, what are you talking about? Get up, please! Yang Zhixin said Lao Tzu went around in circles for a long time, waiting for your words: "We are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, for Daxia." For the emperor, but also for ourselves. The general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and now he has to take extraordinary measures. You can rest assured, I am the main general who leads the troops, and if God blesses this trip, I will reward everyone to share it. If there is any disharmony and the blame is suffered, then I will bear all the blame alone. I will fight for this life, and I will never let my brothers suffer the slightest implication! ”

Everyone saw Yang Zhi's confident look, and suddenly woke up to the fact that he had already made up his mind in his heart. Deng's emotions were mobilized again: "General, even if we are not good, we are also dignified seven-foot men, how can we be that ungrateful and shameless villain?" If a soldier dies as a confidant, I will follow the general to the death, and swear to advance and retreat with the general, and live and die together! General, just tell us what the hell we should do! ”

With all the foreshadowing in place, it's time to get down to business. Yang Zhihuo got up and said, "Okay!" Without further ado, we're here to divide our forces into three directions. First way. Zhang Desheng and Wang Biao, you two are natives of Chang'an, and you have received 4,000 men and horses to divide them into four roads, and give me the road to the four gates of Chang'an. The rest of the merchants and passers-by were allowed to go. But before I personally give the order, remember not to let a grain of grain be transported into Chang'an City! In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the garrisons and officials of Chang'an Mansion and nearby prefectures and counties as much as possible, I will hand over two military orders to you in my own handwriting. But if anyone dares not to buy it, you don't have to bird them, you can fight if you want, and kill if you want! I'm going to have to say something ugly. If the two of you are the slightest bit ambiguous, as long as I don't die this time, I will not be spared! ”

Not only Zhang Desheng and Wang Biao, but the other eight lieutenants were quite puzzled by Yang Zhi's arrangement of the first party, and they all vaguely thought that this was not just to choke the prince's neck. But Yang Zhi is unfathomable, and since he has already made it clear that he has to prepare with both hands, he must have his own reasons, and no one dares to ask more than half a word why. Zhang Desheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "That's ...... How do we take care of the food we intercept? I hope the general will make it clear. ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "I'll mention it later, you just have to do your own thing." On the second road, Liu Dang, you led the bid to send 2,000 men and horses to watch the escort of grain and grass, and contact the Qin branch of the nearby prefecture and county as soon as possible with my handwritten military order. If I remember correctly, Liu Dang was born in a merchant family, and it will be much more convenient for you to do this matter. In addition to leaving the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses for ten days, the 1,000 troops were divided into 1,000 troops and then transported to Tongguan, and the other 1,000 men and horses were responsible for entrusting the Qin clan with the rest of the grain and grass and the grain intercepted by Zhang Desheng and Wang Biao for temporary storage. ”

It is not difficult for everyone to understand this verse, and even secretly exclaim it. The Qin family is the richest family in Great Xia, and Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyunyi, the eldest son of the Qin family, are brothers and sisters, and the world knows it. The grain and grass baggage is entrusted to the Qin family, which can not only get rid of the burden immediately, but also not be afraid of the Qin family's debts, which is naturally very stable. But several lieutenants never dreamed that Yang Zhi was deliberately sending meat into the tiger's mouth. Not to mention all of the heavy grain and grass, at least most of it will be meat buns and dogs, and there will be no return!

"The third road is led by me, and it must be divided into two parts. Zhu Dawei and Luo Ying have experienced actual combat, Chen Zhun, Hu Zhixiong, and Xiao Gang are good at riding and shooting, and they will be cavalry with me. We will gather all the horses at once, and the five of you will select a thousand cavalry from each of your own bids, at least three with two horsemen, and only carry one day's dry food with you, and march at full speed according to the principle that people do not leave their saddles and horses do not stop, and they must arrive at Tongguan within a day and night! Guo Rui and Zhong Tao, you two led the remaining 9,000 men and horses to be an infantry. In addition to being responsible for sheltering the stragglers and changing horses, they must also rush to Tongguan day and night to rendezvous! ”

―――――― Dividing Line――――――――
