Hearing that Boyan was so arrogant, the envoy finally flashed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and turned his head to Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming thought to himself, what are you doing with me, I am not familiar with you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The envoy smiled and said, "Uncle Wu Sheng, won't you say a word for your brother?"

As soon as Wu Shengbo's three words came out, Wang Yangming remembered that he had indeed been knighted by Che Chi's doll king, and he had also held a banquet for the ministers at that time.

Besides, Bo Yan has spoken, what dare he Wang Yangming say at this juncture? However, Bo Yan saw that this envoy actually knew Wang Yangming, and said in his heart, it seems that the attitude of this Che Chi Kingdom and other countries in the Western Regions towards Great Xia is indeed different, and it seems that this matter cannot be too impatient, so he sent the envoy away, and asked Wang Yangming about the situation.

Wang Yangming told him about the fact that he accompanied Zhang Qian to the Western Regions and fought with those three demon masters in Chechi Kingdom. Boyan frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking that Ali Hague, who was now in power in the country of Che Chi, still had such a deep friendship with Zhang Qian. Logically speaking, Che Chi sent troops to Khotan to take advantage, but after all, he did not commit any crimes against the soldiers of Great Xia, let alone officially started a war, and if he really launched an attack on Che Chi, he would lose his moral precedence. But if you don't do it, wouldn't you just watch Che Chiguo take a big advantage?

Boyan has always acted steadily and rarely hesitated, but this time, he did not act immediately.

When the whole army of Great Xia was consolidating the previous gains, there was chaos in the rear.

On this day, Boyan was reviewing the battle report in the tent, and suddenly saw Qin Chonghai rushing in angrily, scolding and scolding, very ugly: "This group of turtle sons of the military department actually bullied the head of my Northwest Army, Lao Tzu really wants to lead the troops back to Chang'an and cut down these people in one go!"

Boyan knew that Qin Chonghai's temper had always been hot, but such a big anger was really rare, he was Taishan in front of him and did not change his character, and he was not in a hurry, so he let Qin Chonghai sit down first, and poured him tea, before Mance asked what was going on.

Qin Chonghai snorted heavily, and said hatefully: "Boss, why is your temper so gentle." Do you know what we were bullied by those grandsons in the military department?"

Boyan frowned slightly, and said, "What did the military department do?"

Qin Chonghai snorted angrily: "They cut off our grain and grass!" said and slammed an official document on Boyan's desk, speechless in anger.

Boyan picked up the official letter, unfolded it, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled. It was an official letter sent from the military headquarters, the content was sprinkled with thousands of words, and the words were roundabout, but it was only repeatedly expressing one meaning: the grain and grass could not keep up, and the Northwest Army was asked to find its own way.

It turned out that after the Northwest Army had conquered the Northwest Army, it captured Jimo to the south, and then to the west to capture Khotan, and the distance from Bactria was nearly 1,000 miles, and the battle line was indeed greatly elongated. The Ministry of War was responsible for coordinating the supply of grain and grass throughout the country in the northwest war, and it was already far away from Jiayuguan, and now it was even more difficult to send grain and grass along the Hexi Corridor all the way to Khotan, which is thousands of miles west of Jiayuguan. This is one of them.

Second, there is also a Guqiang between Daxia and the end of the day, because Guqiang has been prepared for a long time, and Bo Yan is sure that this is a hard bone, so he has not done it for a long time, so Guqiang has become a moat between the front line of the Northwest Army and Jiayuguan. Originally, if you were transporting grain and grass, the Guqiang route was the closest, but now you have to make a detour and the end, which is invisibly a long distance.

Third, the Ministry of War said that since Great Xia had already laid down the Elite Army, Jimo, and Khotan, it was natural to collect grain and grass from these three places, which undoubtedly had the advantage of being able to transport grain from the country, so it stopped the supply of grain and grass to the Northwest Army and suggested that they collect grain from the local area.

No wonder Qin Chonghai is like this, you must know that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the military department has such a hand, and the Northwest Army has no follow-up, how can it continue to fight?

Boyan slowly closed the fold, Qin Chonghai saw that he didn't say a word, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, and asked, "Marshal, do you say that the military department is bullying?"

Boyan smiled slightly and said, "What the Ministry of War said makes sense, isn't it more convenient for us to take grain on the spot than to transport grain from China?"

Qin Chonghai didn't expect Boyan to actually help the military department speak, the expression on his face was solemn and about to drip water, and he said solemnly: "Marshal, although my old Qin is a rough person, he also understands that taking food on the spot is an extremely dangerous practice. Don't you understand?"

Boyan naturally understood. Great Xia had just destroyed these three countries, and the hearts of the people of the three countries were all unstable, and Boyan adopted a series of mitigation policies, the purpose of which was to make the people of the three countries not hate the Xia people too much, and if the grain was levied now, the people of the three countries would inevitably stand up and resist. When the time comes, all the work done will be wasted.

He looked at Qin Chonghai's anxious appearance, but instead laughed and said, "Boss Qin, after so many years, you have achieved the position of the second place in my Northwest Army, and you still don't see things clearly. I really don't know what to say about you. ”

Qin Chonghai didn't understand why Boyan came to laugh at himself, and was about to make trouble, but he heard Boyan say: "It's better to call Wang Yangming over, I'll see if he can understand the truth." ”

Qin Chonghai thought to himself that Wang Yangming was just a Huaihua general, what kind of insight could he have. But when Boyan said so, he could only listen. After a while, Wang Yangming was summoned, came quickly, listened to Boyan's brief explanation of the situation, frowned and thought for a while, but laughed.

Qin Chonghai saw that he first smiled, and then Wang Yangming smiled, no matter what, he couldn't figure out what these two were laughing at. He didn't dare to be polite to Boyan, but he didn't care so much about Wang Yangming, and said loudly at the moment: "Boy, what are you laughing at, hurry up and tell Uncle Qin about it!"

Wang Yangming looked at him, and first said to Boyan: "The last general will say his shallow opinion, if what he says is not right, I hope the handsome man will not laugh." ”

Boyan nodded to indicate that it was okay, and Wang Yangming immediately talked eloquently: "Our Northwest Army was ordered by the emperor to come to the Western Regions to expand its territory, and in the middle of March, it was invincible to the three kingdoms of Khotan, and gave me a big long face in Great Xia. ”

This is true, although the Northwest Army is still far from being completely successful, but just the fact that it has achieved excellence is already the most remarkable achievement since the founding of Great Xia, and the people in the country have already cheered and boiled, praising the holy gods. The emperor is now smooth sailing, and his heart is naturally overjoyed.

Qin Chonghai nodded and said, "I still have you kid to say it, you quickly talk about the point." ”

Wang Yangming lowered his voice and said slowly: "Although Great Xia is powerful, it may not be the same heart. Seeing that our Northwest Army is in such a big limelight, does Mr. Qin think that the people in the military department can be convinced?"

Qin Chonghai was stunned by what he said, and the Xindao Military Department always felt that he was the boss of several border guards in Daxia, and he couldn't tolerate a little disobedience from the border guards. Now that the Northwest Army has made great achievements, and the limelight is unmatched for a while, it is impossible to say that the military department has no ideas. Moreover, Boyan's current grade is higher than that of Du Shaoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, so Du Shaoqing can be a civil official in the Ministry of War, and naturally he is not a good character, and he is afraid that he also has some ideas.

But he still didn't dare to agree with Wang Yangming's statement, and retorted: "Since the heart of the saint is on our side, how dare his military department stumble us at this juncture?"

Wang Yangming chuckled lightly and said, "This is the difference between a civilian official and a military attaché. Those officials of the Ministry of War, most of them are civilian officials, and they have a belly full of flowers, you look at this official letter, full of enthusiasm, and have been talking about him left and right, finding all kinds of reasons to excuse themselves, and saying that it is really a last resort to cut off my food and grass. From a logical point of view, what they said is very reasonable, and even the saints cannot find fault with them. ”

Qin Chonghai heard him say that he couldn't even be a saint, so he glared at him with horizontal eyebrows: "Then are you still in the mood to laugh? The grain and grass of our Northwest Army are broken, let alone fighting, even eating next month will be a problem!"

Wang Yangming told him not to worry, and continued: "But the logic of military attaches is different from that of civilian officials. What we want is the result, no matter what the process is. No matter how many reasons he found, the end result was that he could not supply us with food and grass. When we lose the battle, we will not bear this responsibility, we must ask him to bear the responsibility of the military department, whether he admits it or not!"

Qin Chonghai still couldn't get rid of the doubts in his heart, and asked: "But the battle has been lost, what's the use of investigating whose responsibility it is? Besides, if our Northwest Army has lost the battle, even if the main responsibility lies with the military department, don't we have to bear any responsibility? You must know that this is the holy spring and autumn plan, and what he has never forgotten is to sweep away the Western Regions!"

Wang Yangming laughed out loud, nodded and said, "Ah, what a wise person the Holy Lord is, even you, Mr. Qin, have thought of this, he can't think of it? Therefore, no matter how these people in the military department justify, no matter how reasonable the reasons they put forward, the Holy Lord will scold them fiercely, and then let them ensure the food and grass of our Northwest Army at all costs." Otherwise, he Du Shaoqing, the secretary of the military department, would not have to do it, and naturally there would be people who supported our Northwest Army to replace him. ”

Wang Yangming's words were so clear that Qin Chonghai seemed to be enlightened, slapped his head, and laughed: "Good boy! You don't know how your brain grows, you have so many eyes than my old Qin, and you are about to catch up with the old fox Boyan!"

Boyan heard him call himself an old fox, his face turned red, but he glanced at Wang Yangming with appreciation, and said in his heart After all these years of experience, Wang Yangming has finally grown from a simple teenager to a military general with a heart and a city, which really makes him happy.
