"General, so you're here! The last general thinks you're lost again. Ma Rui finally found the young man in front of a theater stall. This is really not a good lord to serve, running around, doesn't he care about his identity as the general of the Northwest Army to conquer the east?

Fa Xuan, the general of Zhengdong who was only appointed by Zhao Guangling, the overlord of the northwest, had no information before this, as if he appeared out of thin air.

"Did you find any news?" Fa Xuan watched with great interest at the stall, where the gray-haired old man was performing a shadow puppet show with his paper-cuts.

This is a play of the battle of the Qin Emperor Cangye.

"Just say it here?" Ma Rui was also speechless, how much unimportant information could be said in this kind of mixed place with many ears and eyes, "I think, let's go back to the inn and talk about it, this time I heard more important information." ”

"Oh, wait until I'm done with this shadow puppet show." Fa Xuan responded, but he had to finish watching the play first, and he seemed to have seen some mystery in this play.

"What's so beautiful about this play, isn't it the war that Emperor Qin Xiandi launched in the end to conquer the northwest." Ma Rui said indifferently, he was born in the northwest, and the battle of Cangye of Emperor Qin Xiandi took place in Cangzhou in the northwest, and Ma Rui can be said to be deaf.

"Outsiders listen to stories, insiders watch the doorway." Fa Xuan said.

"Interesting, can you still see the doorway of the battle of Cangye when you watch the play? General, don't be funny, let's go. Ma Rui pulled Fa Xuan and was about to leave, but Fa Xuan seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't pull it.

It wasn't until the end of this play that Fa Xuan suddenly smiled and walked away with brisk steps, completely forgetting Ma Rui.

"Eh, General, you wait for me." Seeing this, Ma Rui hurriedly followed.

Guan Xuan's direction was not the direction of the inn, Ma Rui couldn't help but ask again, "General, where are you going?" ”

"Eat? Don't you eat at noon? Fa Xuan said as a matter of course.

Ma Rui clenched his fists and said through a bit of gritted teeth: "General, our inn provides food." ”

"It's not delicious, but it's good today." Fa Xuan happily went to a time-honored century-old store.

Ma Rui reluctantly followed.

"Shopkeeper, is there a private seat?" As soon as he entered, Ma Rui asked. He wanted to settle the matter here as soon as possible and return to the front line in Suzhou as soon as possible, in fact, their affairs were all done, and he basically went alone to spy on intelligence, General Fa Xuan just came to travel, Fa Xuan didn't leave here, and it was not easy for him to go back, right?

"Yes, yes, little two, take the two guest officers to the Linfeng room on the second floor." The shopkeeper greeted with a smile on his face.

The shopkeeper also greeted Fa Xuan and Ma Rui upstairs attentively.

"What do the two guests want to eat?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Is Zhang Yuze's grain in Yongcheng or Liangcheng?" Fa Xuan placed a token given by Zhao Guangling on the table.

Hearing Fa Xuan ask this, Ma Rui was really anxious, how could he report his family so blatantly spy on information? And I still ask this shop's little two!

Who knows, the shopkeeper immediately knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Subordinate Chen Zhang see the general." ”

"Okay, let's have two braised chicken thighs first, a dish of wowotou, and a pot of beautiful bars." Fa Xuan said.

Ma Rui is no longer able to complain, you have identified each other, and in the end you are ordering food?

"Are you sure it's not two braised pig's feet, a plate of big white steamed buns, and a pot of West Wind Fierce?" Chen Zhang asked rhetorically.

Fa Xuan and Chen Zhang looked at each other for a few seconds before Fa Xuan got up and helped Chen Zhang up, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chen." ”

"Thank you for the general's concern, my subordinates are not hard." Chen Zhang said.

"General, is it possible that what you said just now is a code word?" Ma Rui reacted.

"yes, don't you know?" Fa Xuan asked rhetorically.

Ma Rui holds his forehead with one hand and wants to cry without tears, who the is this codeword? Braised pig's feet, big steamed buns, west wind? I was a starving ghost in my last life!

"Don't think about it, this is set by the lord, and Chen Zhang is naturally sent by the lord." Fa Xuan looked at Ma Rui's appearance and said.

"Tell me about the information." Fa Xuan said again.

"A few days ago, Cangyang Wang Zhu Hongmeng went out to stay in Zhongfu for a while, it should be to discuss the autumn grain with Zhong Zhijie, the head of the Zhong family, Daqin has sent the will of the class teacher to Zhang Yuze again and again, and he has already run out of money and food, which is in normal times, Zhang Yuze can never resist the will." Chen Zhang said.

"This is not surprising, since we have a fine work in Daqin, then Zhang Yuze naturally has it, eighty percent is the time for the lord to come, to attack and defend, all the way to the west, straight to take Luojing's sixteen-character strategy to steal, so stick to the Cangsu border and do not retreat, he knows in his heart that if he retreats, Cangzhou will be in danger, if he retreats, it is equivalent to putting the hungry wolf into Cang. State. Fa Xuan said that he was not surprised that Zhang Yuze had such a ability, and they had fought for so long on the Sucang border, and Fa Xuan also had a certain understanding of Zhang Yuze, the god of war.

"In that case, we cut off his food supply and force him to retreat." Ma Rui said that this time it finally came in handy, and the information he collected was just the grain transportation route supplied by Cangzhou to Zhang Yuze.

"If you have any information, just say it, grind and chirp." Fa Xuan said.

"Huh? Well...... I heard that this time the King of Cangyang found the Zhong family, the Ruan Chamber of Commerce, and the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and these three parties plus the palace to solve Zhang Yuze's autumn grain problem. Ma Rui said.

However, Fa Xuan looked at Ma Rui as if he was mentally retarded.

"Huh? Checkmate? Am I saying something wrong? Ma Rui asked.

"In addition to these four, is there anyone in Cangzhou who can supply food to the army? Does this need to be investigated? Fa Xuan said.

"That's what the general said." Ma Rui bowed and was deeply ashamed.

"Take out the map." Fa Xuan said.

Ma Rui hurriedly took out the topographic map of the northwest.

"We are in a stalemate with Zhang Yuze in this position, there are many deserts in the northwest, and the grain road is not covered, as long as Zhang Yuze's autumn grain is cut off this time and Zhang Yuze is forced to withdraw his troops, we will be able to enter the territory of Cangzhou, and then divide the troops to drag Zhang Yuze, and the two cities of Yongliang can still take one of them." Fa Xuan pointed to the two cities on the border of Cangzhou after the battlefield, Yongcheng and Liangcheng, the two cities are only fifty miles apart, the northwest produces good horses, and a single person can ride back and forth to Yongliang for an hour.

"The desert is conducive to cavalry combat, Zhang Yuze was proficient in cavalry combat when he was Sima in Pingzhou, Mobei, and after half a year of competition, our Northwest Army lost more and won less, Zhang Yuze's name as a military god can be seen to be not a gimmick, and the last general thinks that we can lead a strange soldier to bypass the two cities of Yongliang along the Luoshen Mountains, interspersed with the rear, or besiege Zhang Yuze, or go straight to Cangzhou City." Chen Zhang said, pointing to a road that was not marked on the map.
