When Yue Yang escorted the last cart full of grain and silver back to the camp, he was warmly welcomed by the generals, and countless soldiers crowded to the gate of the camp to watch the Zhenguo general who dared to take out the food from the mouths of those lords in the capital.

In fact, since the afternoon, when a steady stream of carts into the camp, the whole camp began to shake, these days the rumors of the army's lack of food and grass have been very loud, many generals and soldiers are very worried, after all, they are all soldiers, everyone knows what will happen once the army is short of food, is that when the soldiers saw the tail of the convoy into the camp, the original hanging heart was all put down.

At this time, not only did all the soldiers come to see the excitement, but Lu Xiangsheng also personally led the crowd to stand at the gate of the camp to greet him.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng and the generals standing at the gate of the camp to greet each other, Yue Yang hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "How dare the last general be the governor and greet the lords in person, it is really a shame for Yueyang!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng showed a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for many days, he stepped forward to help Yue Yang and said cordially: "Zhenghong is too modest, this time you can transport so much grain, grass and military salaries, it can be described as a great achievement, tens of thousands of soldiers in the whole army are grateful for your merits!" ”

Yue Yang hurriedly said modestly: "The governor has won the award, and the last general just followed the emperor's will to raise food, how dare he say that he has made contributions." ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was in the camp, and the news in the capital had not yet reached the camp, so he didn't know how to get the grain, just now, he made a rough estimate, just in the afternoon, Yueyang had sent people to send more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass. These grains and grass are enough for tens of thousands of troops to eat for more than a month, so that they no longer have to worry about running out of food during the battle with the Qing soldiers, as for what to do after more than a month, this is not to worry at all, the Qing soldiers are stupid and will not stay in the periphery of the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a month, otherwise when the Ming army of King Qin from all over the country comes together, they will not be able to leave even if they want to. The Manchurians are not fools, they are here to grab food and women, not to send them to death.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the convoy that was constantly driving into the camp from them, and he was in a very comfortable mood, he patted Yue Yang's shoulder and comforted: "Zhenghong, although this official has never gone to Beijing with you to raise grain, he also knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances when you can raise so much grain and grass, and the imperial court will definitely be quite kind to you." But you don't have to worry, the official will definitely go to the fold to distinguish it for you, and I think the emperor will also give the official a little thin face and will not punish you! ”

Yue Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. It seems that Lu Xiangsheng still doesn't know the "good deeds" he has done in Beijing, and I hope he won't jump after knowing the truth in the future.

Arching his hand, Yue Yang smiled bitterly: "Governor, the last general will go to Beijing to raise food this time, and the people who have offended can be said to be countless, and the emperor's case tomorrow will be full of twists and turns to impeach the last general, and the last general just wants to save his life when he can." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, stared at Yue Yang for a while and asked, "Zhenghong, have you broken into some goods from time to time today?" ”

"Trouble?" Chen Dazhi and Wu Chengfeng, who were behind Yue Yang, couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this. How can what they did today just be described as trouble, it is simply going to make a fuss, if the Lu Duchen in front of him knows what they did today, he may not know how he will scold his mother.

The people walked towards the camp as they spoke, and that night. The generals who had received sufficient food and grass all had a full meal with their stomachs open, and Lu Xiangsheng also feasted all the officers above the guerrilla level in his tent; although the big war was imminent, everyone was in a very good mood after solving the problem of military pay and food. The inside of the big tent is very lively.

The banquet lasted until the end of the day, when the generals dispersed. Lu Xiangsheng finished sending the generals out of the big tent and was about to go back to rest. Yang Tinglin hurriedly walked in, with a look of trance and surprise on his face, Lu Xiangsheng waved when he saw him and asked, "Boxiang, has the grain and grass been distributed?" ”

Yang Tinglin nodded: "Back to the governor's words, the students have already distributed the seven-day grain and grass to the generals, and the remaining grain and grass will have been guarded by Chen Anqin and the soldiers of the Governor Battalion, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

"Hmm...... That's it! Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and asked again: "What about the silver taels, have they all been counted?" How many silver taels are there? ”

"It's all counted!" Yang Tinglin hurriedly answered, but he hesitated, the strange look on his face became more obvious, and he hesitated: "But ......"

"But what? Is silver two not enough? Lu Xiangsheng asked strangely.

"It's not enough, it's too much." Yang Tinglin asked a little nervously, "Governor, do you know how many taels of silver Yue Yang brought back this time?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng's heart swelled with a bad feeling, and he hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

Yang Tinglin took a long breath and said, "A total of one hundred and eighty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty taels of silver!" ”

"How much?" Lu Xiangsheng's voice immediately rose seven degrees.

"A total of one million three hundred and eighty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty taels of silver!" Yang Tinglin solemnly repeated.

"Oh my God!" Lu Xiangsheng sat down on a chair behind him, making a squeaking sound, and after a long time, Lu Xiangsheng almost shouted in a moaning tone: "Yueyang, how many rich merchants did he loot to get so much silver!" ”

"And that's not all!" Yang Tinglin continued to break the news, "According to the report from the soldiers in the battalion, Yue Yang divided the silver taels and grain and grass brought back into two parts, one part of them were transported to the Chinese army camp, and the other part was transported to their own camp, according to the sergeants' report, the grain and silver taels that Yue Yang transported to his own camp should not be less than those transported to the Chinese army camp, that is to say, the grain and grass and silver taels in Yueyang's hands are not much different from those in our hands!" ”

"Oh my God!" Lu Xiangsheng patted his head in surprise, "What a big basket did this Yue Yang poke in the capital today!" ”

Just when Lu Xiangsheng was surprised, a soldier lifted the door curtain and walked in to report: "Governor Qiqi, someone from the capital is here." ”

"Quick, let him in!" Lu Xiangsheng had never been so eager to know what was going on in the capital.

Soon, a man dressed in black hurriedly walked in, saluted Lu Xiangsheng and said in a low voice: "Governor, it's not good, something is wrong!" Today, General Zhenguo plundered the treasury of dozens of wealthy merchants in the capital, robbed countless silver taels of grain and grass, and he was still ...... He also shot and killed hundreds of family members who tried to resist, and now there is a commotion in the capital! ”

"What!"

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin exclaimed in unison...... (To be continued......)
