Not long after Li Sheng's army set off, Xuan Qi had already received a report from the scouts and went to intercept the 50,000 cavalry of the rebels, and he had already returned the same way. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Xuanqi immediately ordered the army to begin to retreat in an orderly manner, stationed in Longzhong City, and at the same time ordered scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the rebels and report at any time.

Sure enough, after the rebels retreated into Lanzhou City, the city was overcrowded, and nearly 700,000 soldiers and civilians had a big problem with eating, drinking, and Lazar every day. After Luo Yuan discussed with He Wenfang and Fan Xiong, he decided to borrow grain from Tao Qingping first to suspend the predicament.

Three days later, Tao Qingping personally escorted the grain and grass to Lanzhou City.

"Subordinate Tao Qingping has seen Deputy Sect Leader Luo!"

"Tao Protector doesn't have to be polite! Please get up! I want to thank Tao Protector for the grain and grass!" Luo Yuan stepped forward and supported Tao Qingping.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! The Holy Sect is a family, and its subordinates always keep in mind the Holy Leader's holy precepts!" Tao Qingping said respectfully. After meeting He Wenfang and Fan Xiong briefly, he sat down on the chair on the side.

"Deputy Sect Leader Luo, now that the army is short of food and grass, although the Tao Protector Office can help one or two, I'm afraid it won't last long. The subordinates believed that it was imperative to ask the sect master to issue a holy order, and it was better to go north to the Xiongnu to borrow grain. ”

"Chief Manager He doesn't need to be anxious, the sect leader and his old man are now in the northland Juyanhai, and I believe there will be news in the near future. Now what this seat is most worried about is how the grain and grass obtained by the saint who is far away in Sichuan and Shu will bypass Li Ning's army and reach Lanzhou. ”

"The subordinates think that now they can only use Tubo. ”

"What Fan Protector said is extremely true. It's just that Li Ning has the grace of life for Sanji, the national teacher of Tubo, although Sanji is arrogant, he is quite affectionate, and if he wants to find Tubo to borrow the way, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult!"

"The subordinates have a plan to transfer Sanchi. ”

"Oh! Mr. He, you might as well tell me about it. If it can be done, this seat will personally ask the sect leader to give credit to Chief He!"

Seven days later, news came from the capital of Tubo that the lord of the country died suddenly, leaving no last words, and the princes are now all thinking about seeking the throne. Sanji received an urgent message from Kunzan, and immediately rushed back to the capital of Tubo with a large army in the starry night. Before leaving, Sanji also deliberately left a letter to Xuan Qi, explaining the reason.

Xuan Qi received Sanji's letter, but he was a little puzzled, he didn't know why this lord of Tubo, who was in the prime of life, suddenly died violently. And if Sanchi's army leaves the northern front, I am afraid that the northwestern rebels will have an opportunity. Xuan Qi looked at the topographic map in front of him, and immediately asked Qian Chaoxian to invite him, and ordered Qian Chaoxian to quickly return to northern Sichuan to prevent the northwest rebels from breaking through.

Seven days later, Xuanqi received a report from Qian Chaoxian, who had returned to northern Sichuan, that there were 500 carts of grain, and that he had left northern Sichuan ten days ago, all the way to the west, and entered the plateau of northwest Sichuan, and now he has disappeared. In addition, more than 300 grain trucks have been intercepted by officers and men who have set up checkpoints, and we do not know how many have escaped the net.

When Xuan Qi heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked. There is no doubt that there is only one place for these grain trucks, and that is Lanzhou. Five hundred truckloads of grain, plus the grain that was shipped out one after another, I am afraid that it will be enough for the rebels in the northwest to survive this harsh winter. Xuanqi immediately ordered Qian Chaoxian to focus on preventing the outflow of grain and grass from Sichuan and Shu, and at the same time strictly investigate the source of grain trucks and grain.

After giving the order, Xuan Qi gathered a group of generals and informed them of what he knew. The generals were shocked, they didn't expect such a situation to happen. After discussion, all the generals agreed that troops should be sent into the plateau as soon as possible to intercept the grain trucks, and each time the next grain truck was intercepted, the northwest rebels had less hope. Xuanqi immediately sent 50,000 cavalry to the northern Tibetan plateau in the south of Lanzhou. At the same time, he revised a letter to explain the situation to Sanji, and asked Sanji to mediate in many ways, and after the matter was resolved, the army would definitely withdraw from northern Tibet.

50,000 cavalry spread all over the plateau in northern Tibet, setting up many checkpoints, and finally achieved certain results. On the plateau, it was cold and snowy, and it was already difficult to travel, and most of the grain trucks were still on the way, and they were intercepted by 50,000 cavalry.

In Sichuan and Shu, news has also come that 357 households have been seized for smuggling grain and grass, most of which are wealthy families in western and northern Sichuan. Under severe torture, some people confessed that they had been bewitched by the holy women of the Heavenly Divine Sect, so they sent food and grass to the vast number of saints in the northwest to save the saints from the dire situation.

Xuan Qi didn't expect this matter to be related to the Heavenly Divine Sect, and he thought that the rebellion in the northwest must also be related to this Heavenly Divine Sect. At the beginning, the Heavenly Divine Sect, which was just practicing medicine and asking medicine, actually had such a great energy, which made Xuan Qi a little surprised. Xuan Qi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately wrote down the situation, and sent it to the capital in an expedited manner for 800 miles.

At the same time, Xuan Qi issued a military order, ordering officers and soldiers everywhere to strictly investigate the Heavenly Divine Cult and arrest all relevant people. As for the wealthy households in Sichuan and Shu who smuggled grain and grass, Xuan Qi made up his mind and ordered Qian Chaoxian to be strictly interrogated, and those with more serious circumstances were beheaded on charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason. All of a sudden, in all parts of northwest Sichuan, the number of people who fell to the ground reached thousands, which stopped the outflow of grain and grass.

Not long after, Li Rui received a report from Xuan Qi and immediately issued an order to list the Tianfang Divine Cult as a cult, and the whole country should strictly investigate the Heavenly Divine Cult, and all participants in various localities should be detained and interrogated, and they should not be spared.

In such a troubled world, Xuan Qi did not dare to slack off a little, and only by repeating the canon could he put an end to the rapid spread of the Heavenly God Sect.

On New Year's Day this year, Xuanqi spent it in the army.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xuanqi received a report that 1,500 truckloads of grain and grass had set off from Juyanhai and had passed Huining, and a large number of rebels escorted them along the way. Xuan Qi couldn't help sighing, but he didn't expect that the Northwest rebels did not go north to the Xiongnu as previously planned, but let the Xiongnu send 1,500 carts of grain and grass. With this 1,500 carts of grain and grass, the needs of the rebels in the northwest for half a year have been solved, and it is even more difficult to quell the rebellion.

And this Western rebel army actually colluded with the Xiongnu, thinking that there must be something at stake in it, and it must also be related to the Heavenly God Cult. It seems that it is time to check the details of this Heavenly Divine Sect, and Xuan Qi secretly made a decision.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, Li Sheng came with news that the army had arrived in Hebei and blocked the southern invasion of the Xiongnu army in the area of Jizhou. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places also began to encircle Hebei, and it was expected that the Xiongnu army would be driven out of the pass around the beginning of spring.

Xuan Qi made up his mind a little at this time. This is also the only good news that Xuan Qi has heard in recent days.

On the second day, Xuan Qi received good news that Xia Lingshuang was outside the door. Xuan Qi immediately walked out of the gate quickly, but saw a carriage outside the door, and it was Chang Bin who was driving the car.
