Liu Gongjin and the others left, Qiu Yuhu's 200,000 gold-armored soldiers also left, if it wasn't for Xu Lin resisting the pressure, today, their sister and brother would have been wiped out by them.

But Xu Lin still did not leave the southwest border, he took the soldiers to burn paper next to the boundary monument to pay tribute to the soldiers who would never return.

Li Panshan and Zhao Daheng ordered the army to camp on the spot, and they came to Xu Lin's side and bowed to Xu Lin, because if it weren't for Xu Lin, their southwest defense line would definitely collapse, and the southwest region would fall into the hands of the ghost people.

That's an army of 600,000 ghosts with one enemy and ten!

Xu Lin also accepted their kneeling salute safely, although he didn't want to pay attention to this set in his heart, but he had to let himself have a halo, he had a halo, and those under his command could be looked down upon.

After three months of displacement and bloody battles, Xu Lin's body, which was already slightly emaciated, looked even thinner, but it did not give people a sense of weakness at all, and the whole person's physique was like a hundred refined steel, and his aura was sharp.

But such a person actually cooked by himself, he cooked the meals of more than 4,000 people by himself, of course, there were several assistant cooks, Xu Lin only gave instructions on the key seasonings.

However, the meals of the ten people at his table were all cooked and fried by him.

Although it is not in accordance with the rules, Xu Yeqing doesn't want to discipline him at all now, because his dishes are fragrant as soon as they are cooked, and he never knew that his younger brother could cook.

The wilderness and wilderness are all wild vegetables and game, ten people and eleven dishes, and they sit down before they sit down, Zhang Mingyue began to grab the vegetables on the table, and then was knocked down by Xu Lin with a stick, Zhang Mingyue carefully ate with chopsticks, Xu Yeqing found that Xu Lin and Mi Fei Fangfei, Zhang Mingyue's subordinates are like family members, only distinguished from the inferior, but not between the noble and the low.

Li Panshan and Zhao Daheng were also very surprised, but the prince and the princess didn't say anything, and they didn't have much to say.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Lin was about to talk about things, he said: "Among the 50,000 Wuyang people who were taken away by the ghost people, there are many western armies, and from their mouths, I have learned a lot of news about your battles, Zhao Shuai, there is a problem with your command." ”

Zhao Daheng immediately put down his chopsticks, listened carefully to Xu Lin's words, and was respectful, his attitude made Xu Lin dissatisfied, the commander of the army all the way, why didn't he have a temper at all? He's not a handsome guy.

But Xu Lin didn't break it in person, he continued: "The enemy is divided into three ways, all the way is strong, all the way is okay, all the way is weak, you use strong against strong, weak against weak, the overall strength is not as good as others, if it is not for the enemy's master to be subject to Wuyang aura, you and Lord Li can resist, otherwise the whole line will be defeated." ”

Zhao Daheng lowered his head and said, "My subordinates know that they are wrong. ”

Li Panshan asked: "If it is His Royal Highness the Prince, how can this battle be fought?" ”

Xu Lin glanced at Li Panshan approvingly, and wanted to educate them with Tian Ji's horse racing principles, but after thinking about it, there was no such person as Tian Ji in this place, so he explained: "If it were me, I would use my weakest troops to drag down his strongest, beat them with the weakest, beat them with the strong, eat them both ways, and then destroy his strong team with the whole army, this tactic, I have tried it repeatedly." ”

Li Panshan sighed: "Such a simple way, but I can't think of it, alas, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xu Lin asked, "What is the situation in the southwest now?" ”

Li Panshan said: "It's very bad, now the whole territory of Wuyang is not harvested, the southwest region has suffered a military disaster, and seven adults have been displaced, but fortunately it has stabilized, otherwise it will cause a civil uprising, but it will be troublesome." ”

Xu Lin said: "There should be a lot of food over there in Shuofang City, the nightingale knows, you didn't arrange it?" ”

The nightingale set his eyes on Xu Yeqing, Xu Yeqing said: "It's arranged, I sent someone to guard a section, the way the homeless people walked, animals, plants, are completely gone, it's too miserable." Tens of millions of people. ”

Xu Lin exclaimed: "There are tens of millions of people alone? The battle of the skin, as far as it goes? ”

Xu Yeqing said: "It's not a problem of the invasion of the ghost people, it's a problem of Jiulong Road, I thought that the flood only affected one county in Dingzhou County, but as soon as the rain stopped, all the water levels in the entire southwest hinterland rose, and it was the autumn harvest time, and the flood flooded all the fields." ”

"Is it a flood?"

Xu Yeqing nodded and said, "It's a flood!" ”

Xu Lin said: "Mingyue, pass the order, rest well after eating, send the wounded soldiers back to Shuofang City tomorrow, Mi Fei and Fang Fei also go back, Lord Zuo Qiulu should still be there, you find a way to make good use of our loot, people can save as much as they want, and the rest of the people will go to Jiulong Road with me to see." ”

Xu Yeqing didn't say anything, but there was sorrow between his eyebrows.

After eating, after everything was silent, Xu Yeqing and Xu Lin's sister and brother had a chance to talk properly, Xu Lin listened to Xu Yeqing's pulse, and said: "When you spoke, I felt that you were lacking in qi, and the internal injuries healed, right?" ”

Xu Yeqing said: "Yes, I know a strange woman named An Xi, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have seen you." ”

Xu Lin said softly: "If you send your team to me, your own safety will be completely disregarded, and you will not be allowed to do this next time, my father really wants to completely destroy the queen mother's lineage." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "The queen mother was carried away by love, and we can only have bitterness and can't say it, you said that the Northeast Army and the Hu people fought hard, and the father did not pay the army, isn't this bullying?" ”

"The reason must be the lack of food in the whole country!"

Xu Yeqing looked at his younger brother and smiled, and said, "You really pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, even I didn't expect you to be so smart." ”

Xu Lin said: "The north is too far away from us, we can only have a headache and a headache, there are nearly 10 million displaced people in the southwest region, and after a winter, there must be more than 10 million people who die, shaking the foundation of the country, and the ghost side will invade again, and Wuyang is in danger of destroying the country." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "Will it?" ”

"Zhao Daheng can't do this, he put a large number of Wuyang masters into the territory of Wuyang, and he didn't dare to admit it in front of me. The rivers and lakes are full of swords, and the temples are calculated by the organs, and if you don't say it well, the world will be in chaos. ”

Xu Yeqing said: "Nightingale, you take the sisters to decorate a room, bring all the files we made in Kowloon Road, and the palace and the prince will study it." ”

After speaking, Xu Yeqing looked at Xu Lin and said, "I originally wanted to give it to the Prime Minister, you can take a look first." ”

The nightingale quickly set up the room, and when it was a little colder, the nightingale lit a fire in the room, and the warmth and fragrance were diffused.

Xu Yeqing leaned in front of the stove and was silent, Xu Lin carefully looked at the files made by Xu Yeqing, on the title page of the file, it was marked with the conspicuous word "top secret" in the name of the princess's mansion, and there was a certain method of opening the seal, if the method was not right, the file would spontaneously combust, and no one would know what was written in the file at that time.

Xu Lin opened the file, the first volume is the evidence of the crime of Xu Wei'e, the governor of Jiulong Dao, who lives a luxurious life, fish and meat people, he has been killed by Xu Yeqing, but the matter has not been fundamentally resolved, Xu Lin said: "There is a large piece of fertile soil in the Kowloon Plain in the southwest region, and since Xu Wei'e took office, there have been 20 years of bumper harvest, how can he not even resist a year's flood?" ”

Xu Yeqing said: "However, I have checked all of Xu Wei'e's mansions, as well as secret passages and cellars, and the grain is indeed less than 100,000 quintals. ”

"Didn't find out how many other avenues the grain was flowing to?"

Xu Yeqing shook his head and said, "There is no clue at all that he sold the grain outside the Kowloon Dao. ”

Xu Lin said: "Where did the grain go?" Twenty years of bumper harvest can fill all the granaries of the Wuyang Empire, and the people in the southwest region can't eat it for ten years. ”

Xu Yeqing sighed slightly.

Xu Lin looked directly at Xu Yeqing and said, "Sister, you really shouldn't have killed Xu Wei'e, he is alive, it will be easier for us to find the truth." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "I was also in a hurry at the time, and when I killed him, I found out that this heinous person actually played a great role." ”

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of food!" Xu Lin asked: "Have you checked the big landlord's house?" ”

"After checking, the accounts are flat, and looking at their inventory, the richest ones only have more than a year's rations."

"Where did the grain go?"

Xu Yeqing sighed again.

Xu Lin said: "If the southwest region does not have the strategy of digging deep holes and accumulating grain, and it is impossible for them to flow grain abroad, then there is only one possibility, there are traitors in the imperial court, who are escorting this Xu Wei'e." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "This is also the reason why I handed over these things to the Prime Minister." ”

Xu Lin closed the file, came to Xu Yeqing's face, put these things in the furnace and burned them, and said, "Sister, didn't you think that this traitor is the prime minister?" ”

Xu Yeqing raised his head in surprise and said, "How come?" The Prime Minister loves the people like a son, and everyone knows that he is still your teacher. ”

Xu Lin said: "Even if the prime minister is not a traitor, it is not safe to send this thing back to Beijing, let's go to Jiulong Road first, such a vast land, I don't believe it, the people don't have to eat yet!" ”

Xu Yeqing nodded and said, "That's all it takes." I couldn't say it at the dinner table just now, but in fact, when we went to Kowloon Road, it didn't have much effect, and it couldn't solve the fundamental problem. ”

Xu Lin got up and pinched Xu Yeqing's shoulders, and said, "If you solve the problem of eating for the people, you will solve the fundamental problem." Lao Tzu wants to fight with these people from Kowloon Road! ”

After a peaceful night's sleep, early the next morning, they marched towards Kowloon Road, Xu Yeqing had 2,000 men and horses, Xu Qing had 4,000 men and horses, and they were mighty.

Although it has entered winter, but the further east, the warmer the weather, Xu Lin checked the land along the way, maybe the water has receded, you can plant a crop of winter wheat, other times, Xu Lin has been taking care of his foal, it was born in the territory of the ghost side, Xu Lin originally thought that this thing could not be raised, because it was covered in blood, no matter how it was washed, it could not be cleaned, and then he reacted that this was a sweat and blood horse, this guy has to be cultivated well, in the era of cold weapons, cavalry is equivalent to armored soldiers.

Zhang Mingyue disliked Xu Lin walking slowly, so he had to go to the front to explore the way, but Xu Lin punched and kicked him, but still let him go. Zhang Mingyue is still a young man about twenty years old after all, so let him go.

Xu Lin thought that he was in a hurry, but who would have thought that after this kid led the team forward and opened a distance with Xu Lin, he raised several battle flags of the new work, and the blood-red "prince" tooth flag fluttered in the wind......
