The logistics of the Liaodong Army were unified and Zu Dashou was in charge.

Each unit has its own land, supply cooperatives and farms, which are used to improve the lives of soldiers and to care for their families.

All the materials were distributed by the department led by Zu Dashou, and the supervisors in charge of logistics of each unit signed and received them.

Before the first division set out for the expedition, it calculated and received silver taels and supplies according to the distance.

The general principle is to refund more and make up less.

Refund or make up for it, it is not Meng Qiaofang's final say.

Instead, Liu Zhilun, the superintendent, contacted the people sent by Zu Dashou, and after verification, reconciled the accounts.

In order to avoid the constraints of the expedition, it is common to receive more.

Therefore, for tens of thousands of taels of silver, Meng Qiaofang didn't pay attention to it at all.

But why bother?

This is where Meng Qiaofang is cunning.

Knowing that the marshal would not ask for the money he came from, Meng Qiaofang, as a subordinate, wanted to get the money.

Only in this way can he prove that he has the ability to take charge of himself, and the opportunity to lead the army alone in the future will increase, and he will have the opportunity to become famous and become a knight.

Meng Qiaofang was invited to the county government office in Changyi, which was the temporary command post.

As soon as he arrived, he found that the situation was somewhat delicate.

As the main force, his seat was actually behind Deng Xi and the other waste wood.

In theory, he is just a lieutenant general, and he really shouldn't sit in a front position.

But he represents the face of the Liaodong Army, and a bunch of wine bags and rice bags actually rode on his head, so he had to give them some color to see.

So, Meng Qiaofang simply saluted, and sat on the seat arranged for herself by Zhu Dadian and others without saying a word.

Gao Qiqian saw this scene and sneered in his heart. The heart said, Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin, the two pig heads, let's see how you end.

Seeing that the generals had arrived, Zhu Dadian glanced at Gao Qiqian, and then said: "Everyone, the traitors Liu Zeqing, Li Jiucheng and others have been in chaos for a long time, and now the imperial court has a clear decree to exterminate this group of thieves who are committing rebellion. ”

After setting the tone, he continued: "Gao Gong, Xie Xun, and I, after repeated discussions, formulated a military strategy. ”

In the end, Zhu Dadian glanced at his staff.

The staff stepped forward with the paper and read aloud: "The army is divided into three routes, the middle road is dominated by the Liaodong Army, and Deng Xi, the chief soldier of the Jizhenchuan battalion, leads the army to follow up and go to the gray port;

The south road is mainly composed of Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Changping, and Fang Dengyuan, the deputy general soldier of Miyun, and takes Pingdu;

The north road is dominated by the generals Wang Zhifu and Wang Wuwei, and the sea temple is taken. At the same time, all sides advanced to encircle and suppress the rebels under the city of Laizhou. ”

After reading, the staff withdrew.

Zhu Dadian glanced at the generals in the audience and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

These civilian officials have finished talking, decided on the marching strategy, and then asked if they have any opinions, isn't it pure funny?

The generals expressed no opinion.

Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin nodded with satisfaction.

They looked at Gao Qiqian, meaning to ask him if he could finish.

Gao Qiqian sneered and asked, "Didn't you notice that someone didn't speak?" ”

Only then did the two remember that from the meeting to the present, Meng Qiaofang did not say a word.

Xie Sanbin looked at Meng Qiaofang: "General Meng, why haven't you spoken?" What exactly is your opinion? ”

"I have no opinion."

Meng Qiaofang's words changed: "However, our army has been marching for days, and we have caught up with this weather, and the soldiers urgently need to rest and recuperate, and they are unable to march again." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin almost vomited blood.

The Liaodong Army arrived in Changyi, and due to the change in weather, Meng Qiaofang strongly requested to enter the city to rest.

They agreed.

Then, Meng Qiaofang demanded that all the houses of the big families in the city be vacated for the soldiers to live in.

Under the coercion of Gao Qidive, they also agreed.

It's good now, but he actually said that he was tired from the march and stopped fighting.

If the Liaodong Army does not move, it is completely impossible to quell the rebellion by relying on the strength of Deng Xi and others.

A governor of Shandong and a governor of Shandong were wearing thick cotton clothes, but the coldness still kept rising from the ground.

Compared with this, Meng Qiaofang's words made them even more frightened.

As a last resort, Zhu Dadian had no choice but to turn to Gao Qiqian.

Gao Qiqian said: "Since the Liaodong Army said that it can't send troops, then rest." Anyway, it's not a day or two that Shandong is in chaos, and I don't care about delaying it for another day or two. ”

"This ......" Zhu Dadian was speechless for a while.

"Father-in-law Gao, our army is consumed here, not to mention the problem of grain and grass supply, if the emperor blames it, I can't afford to eat it."

"We are all ordinary ministers, but my father-in-law is different, my father-in-law is the person Your Majesty relies on, and Your Majesty is looking forward to the great cause of counterinsurgency day and night."

Xie Sanbin, a senior licking dog in history, began to play his own specialty, tongue.

"Then I'll play the emperor and explain the weather."

Gao Qiqian didn't eat this set at all, "lest the two of you be wronged." ”

At this moment, Xie Sanbin was completely out of ideas.

Gao Qi got up and walked away with his head held high.

Meng Qiaofang was the second to leave.

For a while, the atmosphere at the venue was a little strange.

Zhu Dadian had no choice but to wave his hand and tell them all to retreat.

In the main hall, only he and Xie Sanbin remained.

"Say, what's going on?" Zhu Dadian thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

"What else could it be. Meng Qiaofang thought that we had neglected him and deliberately played a temper here. ”

Xie Sanbin sighed and said helplessly.

Zhu Dadian also sighed: "What can I do about this." The Liaodong Army did not move, relying on these remnants to defeat the generals, and it was completely useless. ”

"Lord Zhu, let the lower officer go to the Liaodong Army garrison and coax Meng Qiaofang."

Xie Sanbin came up with an idea.

Zhu Dadian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bother Lord Xie about this." ”

"Don't dare to be a servant, I'll come back when I go to the next official."

After Xie Sanbin made a gesture, he got up and left.

He went out of the yamen and went to the Liaodong Army garrison under the escort of his own soldiers.

The soldier on duty recognized Xie Sanbin and did not stop him.

After Xie Sanbin dismounted, he walked into the courtyard.

I thought that these soldiers and ruffians would forcibly occupy the houses of large families and would definitely make a mess here.

When I arrived, I found that neither the courtyard nor the grass or trees in the courtyard had been damaged.

The windows of each room were slightly open, and the soldiers in the room were either warming themselves around the brazier or around the charcoal basin.

There is also singing in some of the rooms, and if you listen closely, it seems to be self-created.

Further inside, there is a wide courtyard.

Here, some of the soldiers were shirtless and armed with spears, practicing assassination.

"Onward!"

"Kill!"

The roars of the soldiers were uniform and terrifying.

was looking at it seriously, and suddenly heard Ma Guangyuan's voice: "Master Xie, why do you have time to come here?" ”

Xie Sanbin hurriedly turned around, and saw Ma Guangyuan, a dignified lieutenant general, personally carrying a basket of charcoal.

"General Ma, where are your own soldiers? Why do you need to carry your own charcoal? Xie Sanbin asked.

"Master Xie misunderstood, this is not for me to carry, but for those coughing soldiers, who are in need of warmth."

Ma Guangyuan said, letting the soldiers behind him go first.

"What about General Meng?" Xie Sanbin asked again.

"He was at the military doctor's office, visiting sick soldiers." Ma Guangyuan replied, "My lord, if you don't dislike it, please wait in the hall, General Meng will be back soon." ”

"Okay." Xie Sanbin nodded.

Behind him, there was a voice of "Kill!" Xie Sanbin trembled.
