Two days later, a military horse trudged the muddy road, and there was still a moist smell in the air, but the rain had stopped, and the flag held by the military horse was impressively written with the word "Qi" written on it.

This is an army of diligent kings, and it can be seen that all the people are already exhausted.

But the road ahead is long, and the muddy road seems to never be finished, not to mention that the retreating army behind the Tang Dynasty Army is still constantly obstructing along the way, dismantling bridges when encountering bridges, and burning ships when encountered, adding countless difficulties to their pursuit.

Some people in the whole army have begun to complain and say strange things, and some people are shouting that they are hungry, saying that they are too anxious to set off, and they don't even bring dry food, so if they catch up, even if they catch up, their hands and feet are extremely sore, and they can only be sent to death, and the officers began to scold, but the sergeants are also scolding and grinding foreign workers, and they are about to lose morale, and they are not far from collapse.

However, at this moment, from the top of the mountain next to it, suddenly a figure flickered, and then I saw a few people rushing down in front, but it was the banner of the snake swallowing army that was waving, at this time all the people were shocked, and the quarrel in the team stopped, and then those people approached empty-handed, invited out the captain of this army, and checked his seal tiger talisman, and then these people said:

"The brothers have traveled a long way, and the group of Zhongtang dogs has been over for most of the day, but there is naturally a storm army blocking them in front of them, blocking the mouth of these bastards, so the time is not too tight, and the hot water and food have been purchased in the col five miles ahead, please leave after eating. ”

Suddenly, when they heard that there was hot water and food in front of them, all the soldiers immediately boosted their morale, and then they screamed, and after following over, they saw the mountain col in front of them and turned into a two-mile road. There is a village where thirty or forty earthen stoves have been erected on top of the threshing floor in the village, and at least two or three hundred people are busy.

As soon as this army passed, they soon had piping hot ginger soup to drink, and the hungry stomach immediately had a bottom, and then they sat down in the village houses to eat, each room was empty, but it was covered with thick straw against the wall, and the soldiers and men sat around the wall. There are already three large wooden basins in the center of the house, and there are all kinds of things inside: vegetable dumplings, steamed buns, wowotou, cornmeal buns, pancakes, jujube cakes, pancakes, and at a glance, they are the hundred rice made in the stoves of each family. Eat as much as you want, or even kick it into your arms, and shout if it's not enough.

At this time, the soldiers were already so hungry that they picked up the food and stuffed it into their mouths. But soon three large wooden pots came up, which were filled with fried pork slices with cabbage, large slices of fat with white flowers, and a large wooden pot with pork bone broth stewed with radish. There is also a large wooden pot with pickled vegetables inside, and although the dish is simple, it is heavy on oil and salt. It's quite real, the soldier can get such a hot meal in this hellish place, and he is already smiling.

After the food delivery person finished the dishes, he said hard:

"Steamed buns, radish soup, and pickles are added as you eat, and there are only so many fried pork slices with cabbage. ”

Then the person turned around and continued to be busy, and the captain of this military horse at this time was pulled to a big room next to him, someone took out a booklet and asked him to use his own seal to leave a note on it, this Duan captain was also very happy to respond, and finally when they left, there were actually more than a dozen carts pulling a large number of coats and hats over, and each soldier got one, and the morale that was almost collapsed and dissipated at this time also rose all of a sudden, especially when this group of soldiers knew that there was a hot and good meal waiting for forty miles ahead, it was equivalent to having a hope, how can the speed of walking be more than half faster than before?

This scene can be said to be constantly staged on the official road connecting Yedu and Jiaobei, and the morale of the Northern Qi army is also recovering little by little under such a logistical supply.

However, in stark contrast, at this time, in the big tent temporarily built by Lu Yu, the candle flame was faintly burning, but several officials were kneeling on the ground and said bitterly:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!The new transfer envoy is really lawless! Look at what he has done? He Ziwen, a four-rank prefect, he actually directly said that he would kill him, and he would not even let go of his family members, such a move is worse than that of beasts, Tang County, Fengting, Hanlou, Liwen, and Jianqiu The county orders of the five counties were killed by him, and two people were directly imprisoned!"

In addition, the official treasury in the prefecture and county has been directly emptied, and even attacked the local squires and wealthy households, and now the news is coming that a total of 16 gentry families have been forcibly broken and looted, and rivers of blood have flowed, among which there is even He Xiangguo, who has already become a minister, and the rest of the rich families have almost lost their property under their prostitution and coercion! What is the difference between such an act and mountain bandits? ”

"Ming canonical punishment, must be Ming canonical punishment!!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of this person, heaven will not tolerate it!"

“”

Listening to the cries of these officials like cuckoos crying blood, Lu Yu's heart felt a burst of boredom, this boredom coupled with the unknown of the battle situation at this time, it can be said that it was heavy accumulated in his heart, challenging his patience, although after becoming the monarch, Lu Yu also warned himself countless times that he must be moody and invisible, in order to make people feel "unpredictable" , but listening to the performance of the people below with a handful of snot and tears, the evil fire in Lu Yu's heart burned up all of a sudden, and he slapped on the table in front of Huang Huali with a slap, and the table shattered into hundreds of small pieces with a snap, and then scattered out in a sparse uproar!

Suddenly, the crying in the big tent stopped all of a sudden, and these officials looked up in amazement, the muscles on Lu Yu's face twitched one after another, and the light in his eyes was almost about to be devoured! After a long while, he gritted his teeth and sneered:

"Zhou Shilang, the killed He Ji He Ziwen is your in-law, right?"

That week, Shilang was suddenly a little dumbfounded:

"Yes, but?"

Lu Yu Senran said:

"Lin Zhuan's envoy took office at the behest of me, and the officials of these three prefectures and counties must be subject to his control! In the end, he even wanted to transfer the family to kill him!!This dog died and died, and he delayed the most precious hour, he died well, and he died luckily, otherwise, I, I would have beheaded his whole family!"

Zhou Shilang was dumbfounded, and said after a while:

"How can this, how can this be? impossible, impossible! There must be something wrong, someone must have framed you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Yu said coldly:

When Lin Zhuan's envoy opened the warehouse, there were only more than 3,000 taels of silver in the entire treasury, and the warehouse was full of rotten rice, stale rice, and only half of it. Where have all these people gone? He Ji's house has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, 37 treasures, and more than 1,600 acres of land deeds, so how dare he open a warehouse? How can he open a warehouse? A dog jumping over a wall in a hurry is what this bastard wants to do. Also, Lord Zhou, the incident happened suddenly, and He Ji didn't have time to destroy the evidence or anything. It's better not to find your name in his family's ledger!!"

At this time, Zhou Shilang was already completely soft, and he felt that his ears were buzzing. Fortunately, he was not the only one who came, and the other white-bearded Liu Zheng and Liu Governors had already come out of the ranks, and glanced at Zhou Shilang next to him with disdain, and then said in a loud voice:

"So, your lord, the beheaded or imprisoned Tang County, Fengting, Hanlou and other five county county orders, are all because of the lack of the treasury?"

Lu Yu still has a lot of respect for this Governor Liu, because this person has a good reputation in China and has an excellent reputation, and the people call him Liu Qingtian, and he snorted coldly:

"At present, only the account books of the three counties have been delivered, and one of the remaining two counties has been burned by the county order, and the other has not been delivered, and there are all cats inside. ”

Liu Zheng looked at Lu Yu Tieqing's face and said in a deep voice:

"If the county order has corruption and other behaviors, then it has its own national law, and the Lin transfer envoy appointed by the king will kill people without saying a word, and after killing people, he will also promote the second official to serve as the county commander on the spot, he is just a transfer envoy, what qualifications do he have to do this kind of thing, this is ultra vires! In the long run, then it will be repaid? Also, He Ji and the county order are corrupt, then it is excusable, but the minister has a list here, saying that the people sent by this person are wantonly burning, killing and plundering in the countryside, raping and plundering, and the cry of the person who broke the house shook the sky! This matter was witnessed by the minister, and at the same time, the dozen or so blood letters of the people received by the minister would not lie!"

Lu Yu stared at Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, the old minister, also stared back with a clear conscience, Lu Yu suddenly smashed all the things on the table with a bang, and ripped off a map from the wall next to him!

"Do you know what this line means?"

Liu Zheng glanced at it and said fearlessly:

"This should be the official road from Yedu to Jiaobei. ”

Lu Yu said word by word:

"That's right, this is the official road from Yedu to Jiaobei, a total of more than 390 miles, it has been raining intermittently for more than ten days, and the official road has long been rotten, not to mention that there is also the broken rear army of the Zhongtang thieves in artificially creating obstacles, so it is very difficult for us to catch up, if it weren't for the Tempest Army that intercepted it earlier and might intercept the enemy, we would not have been able to stop the Zhongtang thieves from retreating!"

"Around, you can't pin your hopes on the Hurricane Army, even if they stop the enemy, it is impossible to hold out for too long, and the thieves in the Tang Dynasty will also be desperate, so our army must frantically pursue the past, bite the other party to the death, and not allow the enemy to open the road for a day, in such a ghost weather, the enemy army is prepared to retreat, our army is in a hurry, so the logistics protection along the way is the top priority, if the pursuing soldiers crawl and roll in the muddy water for a day, there is no hot food, and there is no full meal, then don't talk about any pursuit and war at allI'm afraid that if I don't touch the Zhongtang thief, I will break up directly!"

Lu Yu's deep voice echoed faintly in the big tent, and then stared at Liu Zhengdao:

"Governor Liu, can you stand up and share my worries, so that the army of 80,000 people who are crawling in the muddy water can have two hot meals a day?"

Liu Zheng was stunned, and then said:

"I can't. ”

Lu Yu didn't speak, and no one in the big tent dared to speak, the atmosphere seemed to be as dull as solidifying iron, and only the sound of people's breathing could be heard. The rest of the officials were already soaked in cold sweat on their backs, and they all secretly scolded the bastard who came to him in their stomachs.

After a long time, Lu Yu said in a low voice:

"Alright, let's get out. ”

The officials kneeling behind them immediately seemed to be amnesty, and they hurriedly pouted their butts and bent over and walked outside, but at this time, Liu Zheng's voice was untimely and stubborn, and he said bitterly:

"Your Majesty. If the people of the three roads are in the midst of fire and water, please be gracious!"

Lu Yu raised his head suddenly, his eyes were so cold that his heart palpitated, the flesh on his face jumped suddenly, and he suddenly roared:

"I am also in fire and water now, finally someone can share a little pressure on me, you guys just jump out here to make trouble, this battle is not an ordinary battle, it is a national war, once the main force of the Tang Dynasty people has a foothold in Jiaobei. Then the day of the death of the country is not far away! Liu Zheng, you are mediocre and incompetent, and you can't share your worries for me, and I don't blame you. But you can't do things, you have to lose, are you a courtier of the Northern Qi Dynasty, or a member of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Zheng was said by Lu Yu. The stubborn temper is also attacked, and there are already old tears flashing in his eyes:

"The minister is the prefect, and it is the duty of the minister to visit the people's livelihood and suffering! Why did you say that?"

Lu Yu's eyes were all bloodshot, and he roared fiercely and loudly:

"If you eat the king's luck, you should share your worries for the king! Your handful of years have lived to the dogs!! I am now anxious, not only did you not share your worries for me, but you even stopped the people who could share my worries! The people of the Central Tang Dynasty have gained a foothold in Jiaobei, and there is no danger to defend in these three ways, and the people of the Central Tang Dynasty must come to Koubian once a year in order to cut our country's strength, and at that time, the people here are also ruined! This time, if the people who broke the family and supported the country, if this battle can be won, it will naturally have a pension and reward, it is better than them not pulling out a dime now, and in the future, the family food and everything will be cheaper than the thieves of the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Liu Zheng, I have been unable to close my eyes for three days and three nights, once I completely bite the people of the Tang Dynasty, I will also lead the snake swallowing army to fight in armor, if you are really loyal to me, then immediately get out of here and go to help Lin Zhuan to send the people to appease the people, don't make trouble for me here?"

In the face of Lu Yu's roar, Liu Zheng's lips trembled violently, and he couldn't say half a word, suddenly his eyes were dark, and he collapsed on the ground, what else could Lu Yu say when he saw it, this old man came to make trouble, and suddenly saw a few trembling and colorless officials next to him, and he was even more angry, and roared loudly:

"What are you still doing here, is there anything else to say?"

At this time, Lu Yu had already made up his mind, if these bastards in front of him said something else, he would have to cut off a few heads today to sacrifice the flag to vent, but fortunately, at this time, there was a leading county order who knew the opportunity, and immediately nodded and said:

"After the teachings of the king, I know what to do, so I will fully cooperate with Lin Zhuan to support the grain and grass of the army, and everything in the county can be stopped at the moment, and we will go all out to supply the army. ”

These few words are quite good, Lu Yu's anger was suppressed slightly, and he snorted coldly from his nostrils, and the rest of the officials were not stupid, they all began to express their attitudes, and then glanced at the old man Liu who was paralyzed on the ground and estimated to have had a stroke, and immediately several people went to help him, and said that the next thing was to worry about the king and ensure that there would be no trouble.

After these officials left, Lu Yu simply called the surrounding attendants, and asked them to vaguely publicize the things in the tent today, and control them among the officials, but they could not spread it to the people - Lu Yu could not openly support Lin Fengjin to go to the countryside to burn and loot, so he could only use this way to relieve the pressure on Lin Fengjin, in this way, after all, most of the officials were wall grass, even if they were not wall grass, let them know the current wind direction and crisis.

In fact, for Lin Fengjin, the real pressure was that when the mess was not spread out at the beginning, the resistance was really big, so he decisively used the knife to see the blood, and Lin Fengjin was killing with a high official position this time, he was afraid that this matter would not make a big fuss, otherwise, if his notoriety was not spread, then he would have to slaughter a few more.

Then Lin Fengjin also knew that since there was a spring breeze in each yamen, then there must be something unexpected, and unexpected, and he felt that he had not met more talents, and asked a little about who the county official or prefect who was killed by himself usually suppressed the most, that was him, and directly let him sit in the position of the dead ghost who was killed, and told him that he is now in the state of agency, as for whether he can turn into a regular and become a real county or a mansion, it depends on what he is doing now.

This newly promoted person still can't be grateful to Lin Feng? After being suppressed for so long, he suddenly turned over and became the master, so he must do his best to do his best! First, he is to repay his kindness, and second, he wants to do this thing beautifully for his own future. (To be continued......)
