Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

As if Liu Yanhui was afraid that Zhou Ruyuan's attack was not enough, he continued: "Now that the general has gone to the northwest, the relationship between relatives has faded. If the prince wants to solve the problem of food and grass, recognizing him as a godparent is a good idea!"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were deep. He was a member of the royal family. How could he be related to ordinary people?

How could they easily cling to the royal family?

"General, please make a decision quickly. The army's food and grass can only last for one or two days at most!" Liu Yanhui added fuel to the fire!

Zhou Ruyu was filled with rage. These people must be trying to intimidate him and make fun of him.

He would never let these people succeed!

"Hurry up and ask the court for permission to distribute food and fodder!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ruyuan's men immediately went to do it.

Afterwards, Liu Yanhui, Che Mingyuan and others began to busy themselves with handing over to Zhou Ruyuan's men.

There was no handover at all, it was just a matter of transferring the debt books from their hands to Zhou Ruyuan.

Everything was carried out under the nose of Deputy Military Inspector Wu Tong, who was just acting as a witness.

After the night fell, Zhou Ruyuan's men secretly brought Che Mingyuan and Wu Tong to Zhou Ruyuan.

Let’s put Che Mingyuan aside for now, as he arrived late.

Whenever Zhou Ruyuan asked, he would just say that he came too late and didn't know.

The document documenting Che Mingyuan's appointment is there and cannot be forged.

Zhou Ruyuan directly skipped Che Mingyuan and questioned Wu Tong.

Ask Wu Tong a hundred times and he will tell you that all the debts are real, and that his more than a hundred adopted sons, daughters, brothers and sisters are real.

Zhou Ruyuan and the people he brought with him were all silent!

The court responded quickly, the same as the one it gave Shen Lanxi before. They could collect grain and fodder on their own.

After receiving the reply, Zhou Ruyuan almost bit his teeth off.

……

Sun Zhong knew that Shen Lanxi was going on patrol, and his expression was a little conflicted.

They are soldiers under the command of Prince Zhennan. Isn't it against the rules to let Shen Lanxi patrol them?

Wei Dongzhu: "Our generals don't inspect the military camps, they inspect the people in the city and the nearby villages."

Sun Zhong was a little surprised after hearing this. What was there to inspect about the people in the city?

He did not raise his doubts, as long as Shen Lanxi did not inspect the military camp.

"General Shen, do you want to send troops to escort them?"

Shen Lanxi waved her hand: "No need, I have someone with me!"

Sun Zhong thought to himself that if a riot really broke out, she might not be able to hold on with the guards she brought with her!

Before he could think it over, Shen Lanxi had already brought people into the city.

Wei Dongzhu had arrived a long time ago and could serve as a guide for Shen Lanxi.

"The young and strong have already run out to make a living, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't or don't want to run!"

Shen Lanxi had already walked onto the street, where there were a few shops and stalls.

This place is completely different from the previous Xiling City.

There was a stall selling Hu Bing in front, so Shen Lanxi stopped.

"Go buy some Hu bings. If you want to eat some, go buy some too!"

Wei Dongzhu went forward and bought two.

"This Hu Bing is very delicious. There is a salt lake nearby, so it is very convenient to eat salt!"

Shen Lanxi smelled a scent of pepper, which greatly stimulated her appetite.

"Delicious!" It's salty and has a strong peppery taste.

Wei Dongzhu glanced at her and said with a smile, "Huangtu City used to be the largest trading place for Hu merchants nearby. During the past two years of war, Hu merchants would rather leave their goods here than come here!"

Shen Lanxi listened as she walked.

Wei Dongzhu saw Shen Lanxi glance at the grandfather and grandson who were setting up the stall twice, and said, "Most of the children have followed their parents. Those who have not left are the ones whose young people have died."

"Too many people have died in the war and conscription in the past two years!"

As Shen Lanxi was walking, she saw someone being robbed on the street.

"Good man grandpa, these are the only things left at home. If you take them all away, my little grandson will not be able to bear it!"

Two men with ferocious faces kicked the old man away.

"I'm taking something from you because I think highly of you. Get out of here right now. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

The old man was forced into a desperate situation to make a living, and would rather be beaten than let go.

"Good man, grandpa, can you take half of it? My grandson is waiting to exchange these for some money to buy medicine."

"Buying medicine? Just give these things to us, and your family will save money. Just dig a hole and bury your grandson to save trouble..." Arrogant and wild laughter rang out.

Shen Lanxi frowned: "The good Hu pancake has no taste!"

Wei Dongzhu's eyes turned cold, he drew his sword and stepped forward, killing the two men with two strikes!

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "This cake tastes good again!"

The people around were so scared that they all ran away.

Shen Lanxi is in a very good mood!

"We just arrived in the northwest, we have to make some noise!"

Wei Dongzhu raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to chop off his head and show it to the public?"

Shen Lanxi: "No, no, they are not the kind of people who would do such a big evil, so just leave their bodies intact!"

"Hang him at the city gate and whip his corpse for public display!"

Wei Dongzhu: "..."

Soon, news of Shen Lanxi's actions reached Sun Zhong and the marriage delegation.

"Who did it?"

"Wei Dongzhu!"

"Four hundred thousand soldiers of the Wei family were killed. I'm afraid that Wei Dongzhu will stir up a bloody storm in the northwest this time!"

"Don't be afraid of Shen Lanxi, just keep an eye on Wei Dongzhu!"

"Yes!"

Soon news came from Huangtu City that Wei Dongzhu, the major general of the Wei family army, had just arrived in Huangtu City and used thundering means to intimidate the three Turkic tribes!

Shen Lanxi toured the city and then went to a nearby village.

The nearby villages are also full of old and weak people, with few young people. Some villages are already uninhabited, and some are more than half empty.

There are traces of swords and other weapons in the village.

Shen Lanxi: "Put our people in an uninhabited village."

Wei Dongzhu: “Yes!”

Xiao Fang, Qian Feng and others were out for a day and told Cheng Zheng the information they had obtained for summary and verification.

While listening, Cheng Zheng flipped through the records of Huangtu City to check.

All the information obtained matches!

Shen Lanxi didn't come back until sunset, and brought back a lot of local unique things.

Chamber

Wei Dongzhu: "Some of the people on the list were sent to the salt lake to dig salt, and some were arranged to build city walls and cast weapons."

Shen Lanxi had read the list of personnel who were escorting Wei's army's food and wages that she had obtained from the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple. She then copied a copy and asked Xiaoxue to give it to Wei Dongzhu.

In addition to gathering information about the three Turkic tribes, Wei Dongzhu has been looking for the people on the list these days.

Wei Dongzhu's face darkened as he finished speaking, and he continued, "More than half of them died, and two are still missing!"

Ban Sicao slammed the table and said angrily: "He must have been silenced!"

Shen Lanxi: "Did they leave anything useful behind?"

Wei Dongzhu shook his head. "After they joined the Northern Expedition Army, they were demoted one level after another for various reasons. One of them was Yan Huai, the chief escort commander, who was already a fourth-rank general. Because of a mistake in a retreat, he was demoted to supervise the construction of the city wall, and later demoted to a soldier. He and a soldier named Sun Qian are missing. The document says that the two accidentally fell into a deep valley while mining stones for the construction of the city wall."
