"Sit down and talk!"

The two sat down respectively, and Wan Dugui put down the steaming teacup and asked, "From Jinling to Shanwu County, if you don't delay after receiving the food and supplies, you should be able to rush back when the first snow falls and melts." , why the delay for so long?"

"Returning to the general, the convoy rushed to Shanwu County at a high speed. It only took two days, but we waited for five full days in Shanwu County to receive the food and supplies! Someone called Dabo Xiaoyi, the governor's food officer. Hello, let him deliberately delay the distribution of food and supplies, otherwise we would have returned long ago! Moreover, according to Mulan, the two messengers sent by the army leader were intercepted and killed on the way, and Mulan was also ambushed, but fortunately She was safe and sound; in addition, someone who bought my supply camp added something special to the food for the animals, which caused the animals to have diarrhea and could not pull the cart forward. Fengxue brought the food back!"

Wan Dugui's face was shocked, "Who has the guts to do this?"

"The subordinates put the knife on Dabo Xiaoyi's neck, and Dabo Xiaoyi personally revealed that the mastermind behind the scenes is Baba Ye, but we have no proof!"

"Him?" Wan Dugui's face was extremely ugly, and his fists were clenched. He took a deep breath and explained to Zhao Junsheng: "Pingyang King is not an ordinary person. He has deep-rooted power in the court. We don't have conclusive evidence, so don't follow him lightly." He is in a direct confrontation, so don't act rashly, this matter will never be left alone, sooner or later you will have to settle it with him!"

Zhao Junsheng already knew that this was the result, and also knew that what Wan Dugui said was true, he murmured for a while and clasped his fists and asked, "Master, someone in your supply camp was bribed to drug the livestock, if we can find out that this bribed Who is the person responsible, and then follow the clues to find out that the person who bribed the inner ghost is someone close to Babaye or himself, can this be regarded as evidence?"

Chapter 158

"Evidence? Hey... two official words, it's not our decision to count as evidence, it's up to those who can control Pingyang King!"

Wan Dugui's meaningful words made Zhao Junsheng understand that this is an era where the imperial power is supreme and the law is sidelined. No matter whether there is evidence or not, if the emperor wants to deal with Ba Baye, even if there is no evidence, someone will come up with the so-called evidence; If the emperor doesn't want to deal with Baba Ye, even if the evidence is solid, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

What else can Zhao Junsheng say?He didn't want to say anything.

Wan Dugui pondered for a while, and ordered Zhao Junsheng: "You should check first, find out the person first, and then talk about it after getting the confession. If it is really useful, it is always good for us to be prepared!"

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, and said, "Master, this subordinate wants to bring people back tomorrow to bring back the troops of the third battalion and the remaining food and grass, but the supply battalion lacks leg strength, so I want to borrow five Ten pony horses! By the way, my subordinates met a young lady in Shanwu County. The young lady wanted to follow her to see the military leader. The subordinates couldn’t stop them, so they had to let her follow. Now that Mulan is accompanying her for protection, there shouldn’t be any danger. !"

When Wan Dugui heard that Wan Yutong was also in the convoy, he became anxious on the spot: "This child is really worrying, what is she doing here in the cold weather? Everyone here is rough Han, how inconvenient is it for a delicate girl like her to come here? Why don't you stop her and let her follow?"

Zhao Junsheng smiled wryly and spread his hands: "How to stop? The subordinates can't be rough on her, right?"

Wan Dugui was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, just come, let her stay for two days when she comes, I will send someone to send her to Shanwu County! As for the matter of borrowing the pony , this is easy, I will write a warrant, you take the warrant and go to the stable to transfer the fifth pony horse, the most important thing we Dawei lacks is a horse, this pony can only be used to pull a cart!"

Hey, the short-footed horse from Mobei can not only pull carts, but its ability to endure extreme environments, not picky about food and super endurance allowed the Mongols to use it to conquer the world!

Of course, Zhao Junsheng would not tell these things to Wan Dugui, he clasped his fists at Zhao Junsheng: "Thank you, Commander!"

······

Right Guard camp, inside a tent.

A hundred people knelt in front of Babaye tremblingly, and Babaye asked coldly: "Zhao Junsheng not only brought back the food, but you also lost a lot of manpower. How did you promise to the young master?"

Hundreds of people knelt down on the ground: "The villain deserves to die, my little prince forgives me!"

Ba Ba Ye slowly pulled out the saber from his waist, and the hundred people were terrified.

At this time, a voice came from outside the tent: "Little prince, keep someone under the sword!"

After the words fell, He Laichao and He Ruoting walked in one after another, "Meet the little prince!"

Ba Baye looked at the two people, "Young master disposes of his subordinates, but you come out to stop them, isn't it meddling too much?"

He Laichao touched his chest and saluted: "Little prince, the failure of this matter is not because your subordinates did not do their job well. We did everything we should do. It is because Zhao Junsheng is too tenacious. Who would have thought that he could bring those heavy soldiers and The strong men braved the cold, wind and snow to carry the food back? Can you think of it in advance?"

Hearing this, Ba Baye thought for a while, put the knife back into its sheath, and told the hundred generals: "Get up first!"

"Thank you, little prince, for not killing me!" The hundred generals were so grateful that they got up and retreated to the side.

He Laichao said to Ba Baye in a deep voice: "My lord, it has already failed at this time. In order to avoid causing trouble, I thought I should handle the aftermath properly!"

"Aftermath? What aftermath?" Babaye was surprised.

He Laichao was taken aback for a moment, "Young Lord, don't you remember that you sent people to buy off the people in Zhao Junsheng's supply camp? Zhao Junsheng's mules, horses and donkeys were all drugged so they couldn't pull carts. He wouldn't have thought that someone Did you drug the mules, horses and donkeys?"

Ba Baye was startled, and slowly turned his head to look at the hundred generals: "You bought him, if you don't want to be found out by Wan Dugui, do you know what to do?"

The hundred generals stroked their chests and bowed their heads in response: "Yes, this subordinate knows what to do, please rest assured, little prince,

The villain will never leave any trouble behind! "

Babaye nodded in satisfaction.

He Laichao stopped the hundred generals who were about to leave: "It is said that Hua Mulan is still in the third battalion to escort the follow-up food and grass to the Jinling camp. I think you all know his martial arts skills. It is not yet known whether you will be able to silence him. If you can't keep your mouth shut, you will be captured..."

Hundreds of people's expressions changed, he looked at Ba Baye, and seeing that the other party was staring at him with piercing eyes, he could only clenched his teeth and clasped his fists at Ba Baye: "Please rest assured, my subordinates, if... "If you accidentally fail and get captured, the subordinates will not dare to confess to the little prince even if they die!"

Baba Ye suddenly let out a sneer: "Oh, what does this matter have to do with the young master?"

Hundreds of generals were startled by Ba Ba Ye's sneer, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, this matter was done by one of my subordinates, and has nothing to do with anyone!"

Ba Baye walked up to the hundred generals: "Why did you assassinate Zhao Junsheng? There must be a reason, otherwise who would believe you?"

Hundreds of generals were forced by Ba Ba Ye to break out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and his mind was running quickly. He seemed to have figured it out, and hurriedly replied: "The little prince was humiliated at the garrison camp in Huaishuo Town that day and suffered a great loss. As a loyal little prince Subordinate, this subordinate decided to deal with Wan Dugui, just as Wan Dugui's capable subordinate Zhao Junsheng was going to Shanwu County to transport grain, so this subordinate decided to attack him first, this series of actions were instigated by the villain behind the scenes!"

"Very good, you really are a loyal subordinate!" Babaye patted the shoulder of the general, "Don't worry, no matter what happens to you, I will take good care of your family and keep them safe for life. !"

These words seem to be a guarantee, but they are secretly warning Bai Renjiang that if Bai Renjiang does anything out of the ordinary, his family will never end well.

Hundreds of generals trembled all over, "Thank you, little prince, my subordinates are so grateful!"

In the early morning, the two battalions in the heavy military camp only had morning exercises, the first battalion continued to rest, and the second battalion assembled on standby after breakfast under the order of acting deputy battalion head Gao Xu.

The sleds built overnight by the carpenters of the craftsman team have been dragged to the front of the tooth tent. There are a total of fifty sleds, not many and not many.

The head of the first battalion, Gao Xiu, led some soldiers and brought fifty pony horses from the township barracks with the warrant Zhao Junsheng gave him.

Zhao Junsheng was wearing leather armor inside and a thick wool cloak outside and walked out of the tooth tent.

The supply soldiers can only be equipped with leather armor, even if he, the captain of the supply soldier, is not equipped with iron armor, if he wants to wear iron armor, he can only spend his own money to build it.

"Gao Xu, put these pony horses on the sleds. Besides the driver, each sled has a soldier riding on it!"

Under Gao Xu's order, the soldiers put the pony horses on the sleds one after another, and the driver drove the pony horses to pull the sled forward, and the pony horses seemed to be effortless in pulling the sledge carrying people.

If it is a horse-drawn cart, even if it is empty, it is very laborious to be pulled by mules and horses in such deep snow. The success of the horse-drawn sleigh made the soldiers marvel.

Zhao Junsheng ordered Gao Xiu to stay behind with the first battalion, and he took more than a hundred people from the second battalion to drive a sleigh with short-footed horses to meet Hua Mulan, Xue Andu and other three hundred people who were pulled by horse-drawn carts. A large amount of food and grass supplies.

The cold wind was still bitter, but Zhao Junsheng and all the others sat on the sled and were pulled by short-footed horses, wrapping up blankets tightly to resist the wind and cold.The war horse will be exhausted and unable to walk in such a deep snow, but the pony will not. Its super endurance can always pull the sled at a constant speed.

Walked for two hours in one breath, rested for a quarter of an hour, fed some hay to the animals, and drank some snow water after the animals had eaten and regained their strength. Zhao Junsheng and others drove the animals and pulled the sled to continue. OK.

At noon the next day, Zhao Junsheng and the others finally met the food transportation team of Hua Mulan, Xue Andu, Wan Yutong and soldiers from the third battalion.

Both parties were very happy. After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhao Junsheng ordered some of the food and supplies to be transferred to the sled. Since then, most of the food and supplies were transferred to the sled, and the weight of the carriage was greatly reduced.

When marching on the road again, the speed suddenly increased a lot.

At dusk, the team found a leeward spot and pitched camp.
