Ling Jingyang smiled embarrassedly, he didn't have a plan, the army wants to go to Yanmen Pass, then go to Yanmen Pass, it is much better than in Wei County.

"General, the last general thinks that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, don't look at the current grain and grass of our army can last for two months, if the Qing army besieges and does not attack, our grain and grass will be exhausted, and my tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are not just an abandoned child?"

Li Guo didn't think that the Qing army would besiege but not attack, the Dashun army was short of food and grass, and the Qing army was not much better, he said to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Jingyang, you care so much about grain and grass, this general will give you 10,000 taels of silver to buy me grain." ”

He asked Ling Jingyang to raise 10,000 stone of grain in half a month, which can be regarded as seeing Ling Jingyang's skills, Ling Jingyang was a little frightened in his heart, everyone knew that there was a shortage of food at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the north was even more like a pot of porridge, and the population fled to the famine, the fields were barren, the rain was scarce, how could there be excess grain and grass, give him 10,000 taels of silver, even if it was 1 million taels of silver, he couldn't buy grain and grass.

But Li Guo's military order did not allow Jingyang to disobey, he insisted on agreeing to Li Guo, Li Guo and other troops to arrange tasks, five days later, waiting for Ma Kai to bring back Yanmen Pass information, if Yanmen Pass was captured by the Qing army, the whole army was ready to attack and take Yanmen Pass back from the Qing army, if Yanmen Pass was still in the hands of the defenders, the whole army entered the pass and defended Yanmen Pass.

Li Guo said anything, Ling Jingyang didn't care, his mind was full of grain and grass, this was the last thing he was willing to be responsible for, but Li Guo just asked him to raise grain and grass, and the meeting was enough for him to return to the barracks, Wan Liyun and other generals had long known that Ling Jingyang had been promoted to General Zuo Weiwu, and congratulated him one by one, Ling Jingyang waved his hand very unceremoniously.

"Don't make a fuss, General Li gave us 10,000 taels of silver."

Wan Liyun and Li Rufeng and other generals paused for a moment, and then it was even more lively, and the old steamed buns were even more 10,000 taels a bite, how many war horses could be bought.

"This silver was asked by General Li to buy grain and grass."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was silent, and the old steamed bun stammered: "Isn't it to give us military salaries?" ”

Ling Jingyang glanced at him, and continued to say that this 10,000 taels of silver is used to buy grain and grass, and it is necessary to buy 10,000 stone of grain and grass, which can make the generals of Shiying angry, 10,000 taels of silver is not much, but where to buy 10,000 stone of grain and grass, the whole Shanxi is in a mess, even if the people have grain, they will not sell it to Shiying, and Shiying will not rob the people, the only thing to do is to grab grain from the rebels and the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang half-closed his eyes and summoned Mi Shengguang and other civil officials, Mi Shengguang led Jin Da hand, and Ximen Zhu was also mixed in the crowd to be lively, hearing Ling Jingyang calling him, he hurriedly stepped forward to report to Ling Jingyang.

"You go and ask Wen Bu to call, and the other three family heads are called."

Mi Shengguang hurriedly went down, and Ling Jingyang asked the generals to recuperate in the city these days, some of them may have to be separated from Shiying for a while, what is going on after Qin Lie is busy?

Ling Jingyang told him to do this in order to reassure the generals of the rear camp, he asked Huang Daozhong, Qin Lie, and Wangbao to lead the people and the rear camp to act together, and he led the direct troops, the artillery battalion, the cavalry battalion, the cold iron department, Zhang Luo's auxiliary department, and the soldiers and horses of the Wanliyun Department to raise grain and grass nearby.

After listening to the order, all the soldiers returned to the camp to prepare, Ling Jingyang left the four flags that acted with him, and after a while, the four major families also came to Ling Jingyang under the leadership of Mi Shengguang.

Ling Jingyang beckoned everyone to take a seat, and told everyone that Li Guo gave half a month to raise 10,000 stones of grain and grass with 10,000 taels of silver, and the generals were better, after all, they already knew just now, Mi Shengguang and the heads of the four major families showed incredible expressions on their faces, in this year, how can one or two pieces of silver buy one stone of grain and grass?

Not to mention that it only took half a month, Mi Shengguang shook his head, among the four major families, three of them shook their heads, saying that they could not do anything, Ling Jingyang did not expect the four major families to raise grain and grass, he needed the four major families to open a door for him to open the door to contact Jin Shang.

These Jin merchants gave blood transfusions to the Qing army for the sake of interests, so as long as he gave more benefits to the Jin merchants, he could also get blood transfusions from the Jin merchants, but how to contact the Jin merchants, he had to count on the connections of the four major families.

Sure enough, this time it was the Wen family who stood up first, Wen Bu and Ling Jingyang said: "General, the small ones are in Taiyuan Mansion, and Datong Mansion knows some people, as long as they have silver, they can buy grain and grass, but I don't know if they can buy so much." ”

Ling Jingyang smiled, and said generously to Wen Bu Question: "Wen Bu Question, last time you came to Wei County, there is no credit and hard work, General Ben will give you another chance to contact Shanxi businessmen, and the three of you, use all your connections, as long as there is food, buy it for me, in terms of silver, you don't have to worry, I have it in Shiying." ”

Mi Shengguang knew that Ling Jingyang's family background still had some silver in the logistics camp, but these silver had to be paid to the soldiers, and they were all used to sell food, and the soldiers' salaries would be gone.

He kept making eye contact with Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang glanced at him, and then looked at the four major families, and the four major families also gritted their teeth and agreed, after all, they did have some connections in Shanxi, Ling Jingyang let the artillery battalion assist the Wen family, Zhang Luo's auxiliary department assisted the Qiao family, the cavalry battalion assisted the Tian family, and the cold iron department assisted the Zhao family, and set off early tomorrow morning, and he led the troops directly under him to wait in the city of Wei County.

Five days later, the rear camp will leave for Yanmen Pass, and the families of the four major families will also go to Yanmen Pass together, which is also a means for Ling Jingyang to prevent the four major families from surrendering to the rebels.

Wen Yuanyang had already laid him a mattress and bath water, and when he went to bed, Ling Jingyang looked at Wen Yuanyang's bumpy body, and looked at her with great appreciation, Wen Yuanyang suddenly turned around, looked at Ling Jingyang's stupid appearance, covered his mouth and ran away with a sweet smile.

Ling Jingyang hurriedly shook his head and wiped his face with a wet towel, and suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside, he thought it was Wen Yuanyang coming back, and when he looked over, it turned out to be Bai Lushui, Bai Lushui heard in the army that General Gu of the former battalion was killed, General Gu was the commander of the former battalion, and he was unfortunately killed in battle, so wouldn't the right battalion also suffer heavy losses?

She stepped forward with some hesitation and said to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Jingyang, do you have any news from the right camp?" ”

Ling Jingyang really didn't know the news of the right camp, and he didn't know if Bai Minghe was in Shanxi, Henan, or Shaanxi, and Bai Lushui said: "Bai girl, the defeated general is a fierce general of our army, how can the Qing army hurt him half a point, as long as I am in Shiying for a day, I will protect you for a day." ”

Bai Lushui was a little sad, but she suddenly saw the mattress laid in Ling Jingyang's room and a bucket of bath water, and suddenly her eyes were uplifted, staring at Ling Jingyang.

"This bath water, and the mattress, did the vixen get it for you?"

Ling Jingyang was speechless, this Bai Lushui was too jealous, he said angrily: "Bai Lushui, don't be surprised, next time you come to make a mattress, get bath water, and give me a bed, can you do it?" ”

These words were naked, Bai Lushui's little face instantly turned red, she scolded the prodigal son, this time she did not run away, but plucked up the courage to boldly confess to Ling Jingyang, this is what Wan Qing taught her, if she likes it, she must say it, don't be snatched away by other fox spirits, but she regrets it alone.

She raised her head and expressed her admiration to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Jingyang, you are a big hero in my heart, a big hero who is even more heroic than my father." ”

After finishing speaking, a little liver bumped like a fawn, looking at Ling Jingyang with confused eyes, Ling Jingyang was a little surprised, why did this Bai Lushui ignore it?

Bai Lushui said again: "I... Aunt Ben... No.. No, no, this girl loves big heroes. ”

This is a vigorous confession, Ling Jingyang's mind is a little confused, he admits that Bai Lushui is very beautiful, with a face that is not inferior to Wen Mandarin Duck, but Ling Jingyang still can't hold back his inner love, whether it is Bai Lushui or Wen Mandarin Duck, he has to do it in two, because he and Shi Ying have to fight hard every day in this troubled world, and after every battle, it is possible that they will not see the sun tomorrow.

So he rejected Bai Lushui, as well as Wen Mandarin Duck, at least until the world was stable, there would be no love for children in his mind.

"Bai Lushui, you are very beautiful and generous, but the world is undecided, you follow me, maybe you will be widowed that day, I don't want you to be a widow."

Ling Jingyang's attitude was very indifferent, but the more indifferent he was, the more enthusiastic Bai Lushui became, she had to go down with Ling Jingyang, even if she died, she had to die with Ling Jingyang.

"I don't care, I'll decide you, you won't marry in this life."

Ling Jingyang sighed, he didn't want to fall in love with Bai Lushui, and said to Bai Lushui: "Our army has made a big move recently, you go to Yanmen Pass with the rear camp, and I will come back in half a month." ”

Bai Lushui hurriedly asked Ling Jingyang where she was going, and she also wanted to go with him, Ling Jingyang felt that Bai Lushui was idle, and said to her: "Nonsense, I want to prepare food and grass for the army, don't make trouble, by the way, I'll give you a task, if you do well, I'll give you a reward, do you think it's okay?" ”

Bai Lushui was angry just now because Ling Jingyang refused her show of love, and she didn't know how to continue talking to Ling Jingyang, but suddenly heard that Ling Jingyang was going to give her a task, and became a little hopeful, and said to Ling Jingyang: "What task, Aunt Ben did it for you beautifully." ”

"You stare at a guy for me."

"Who?"

Ling Jingyang whispered a few words in Bai Lushui's ear, Bai Lushui's eyes widened the more she listened, and after Ling Jingyang finished speaking, she just wanted to speak, but Ling Jingyang covered her mouth and gestured with her ear.

Then Ling Jingyang asked her to go back to rest, and half a month later, he would take this unit to join the main force of the rear camp at Yanmen Pass, and Bai Lushui would have to report to him at that time.
