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

Soon Song Daoxi was called away by Zhou Ru'an for a private meeting. It was not until noon the next day that Zhou Ru'an sent someone to inform Shen Lanxi that he agreed to Liang Shao's conditions and let her escort the 500 dan of grain first!

The idea Shen Lanxi had suggested to Liang Shao before was to ask for food and supplies. It was obvious that Zhou Ru'an fell into the trap and agreed so quickly. I guess the descendant of Guiguzi played an important role.

Zhou Ru'an wanted to get rid of her without leaving any room for gossip, and Shen Lanxi took the opportunity to disappear from view.

"Order someone to count 500 dan of grain and send it to Liang Shao. After the delivery, ask Zhou Ru'an for the grain the next day!"

Wei Dong wrote them down one by one.

"when are we leaving?"

Shen Lanxi looked at him and said, "Let's go after the food and grass are loaded!"

Since he came back from Xiling, the total time they had spent together alone was less than two hours.

"There's no need to worry about Liang Shao." Wei Dongzhu said solemnly.

Shen Lanxi: "I won't go to Liang Shao's place."

Wei Dongzhu looked at her with a puzzled look.

"I'm going to the Salt Lake. There will be news from the capital soon." She had previously exposed Sun Qian's whereabouts in the Salt Lake. According to the time, the people hiding in the dark should also take action.

Wei Dongzhu frowned: "Is there any movement over at the salt lake?"

The news was brought back by Liu Yanhui. She said, "There are many new faces around the salt lake recently!"

The Salt Lake is located in a remote area, and no one would hide there even to escape famine.

"Want me to go with you?"

Shen Lanxi: "I don't plan to bring too many people this time, so as not to alert the enemy!"

Wei Dongzhu's eyes dimmed, and he looked straight at Shen Lanxi, with a hint of attachment in his eyes and bottomless greed in his eyes.

"I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Shen Lanxi looked at him and raised her lips: "Okay!"

The progress of the peace talks was pushed back again because of the appearance of Song Daoxi. After Liang Shao obtained food and grass, he was able to contain the three Turkic tribes.

If the three tribes made any move, Liang Shao would also lead his men to move. If the three tribes moved forward one mile, Liang Shao would lead his army to move one mile towards them. If the three tribes retreated one mile, Liang Shao would retreat one mile.

Zhou Ru'an was delighted to see Liang Shao was so obedient, and asked Shen Lanxi to send back another 500 loads of food and fodder.

What followed was that the Zhenbei Army was running out of food and fodder.

Song Daoxi immediately gave Zhou Ru'an an idea and asked him to borrow grain from the two cities of Xiling and Hailing.

Zhou Ru'an couldn't ask the court for food, so he had to ask his two fathers-in-law for food. He was now responsible for the food consumption of the Zhenbei Army and Liang Shao's army. The food he had received in a few days was used up. Zhou Ru'an had no choice but to beg for alms from his two fathers-in-law again.

The imperial court had no food supply and wanted to support two large armies with only two cities. However, after borrowing food a few times, the two fathers-in-law refused to work.

After Zhou Ru'an borrowed food and grass for the fourth time, the two city garrisons cried poor and refused to lend. Zhou Ru'an followed Song Daoxi's advice and had to go to the distant city to beg for alms himself.

To sum up, after Shen Lanxi left, Zhou Ru'an was either collecting food and fodder or on his way to collect food and fodder!

……

Next to the salt lake, Mosan Town.

"The imperial court has not sent anyone here since we took over the salt lake." Liu Yan reported to Shen Lanxi.

Ban Sicao looked at the vast salt fields and the people who were constantly making salt, and walked over curiously to take a look.

Shen Lanxi looked deep in her eyes and said, "The northwest may seem peaceful, but in fact, each city has long been governed by its own government, and the government offices are no longer in existence!"

The carrier eagle flew over, and Cheng Zheng took out the letter and handed it to Shen Lanxi.

It's a letter from Dongchuan.

After Shen Lanxi read it, she dictated it and Cheng Zheng drafted it.

"Let Wang Songbai and Chang Daoyan bring their people over!"

She handed the letter to Liu Yanhui.

"That useless Zhou Ruyuan lost the three counties of Baihe and Fuchun!"

Liu Yanhui's face looked a little ugly, that was the place they had conquered, and it was fine when they left, but it was lost not long after it was handed over to Zhou Ruyuan.

Why is he so useless!

Liu Yanhui said with a bad face: "After the two rebel kings have tasted the sweetness, they will definitely continue to encroach on Dongchuan's territory."

Shen Lanxi: "Tell Che Mingyuan to take over the refugees and relocate those people to their respective households."

Liu Yanhui felt sorry for the large tract of land in Dongchuan and the layout made there.

"Where is Sun Qian?" Shen Lanxi asked.

Liu Yan glanced at the guards behind her and said, "One is in a shabby house near the Mosang Inn, another is herding sheep at the town entrance, and the remaining two, one is guarding the wine cellar of the winery, and the other is hiding in a house in Sanyang Lane."

A total of four fake Sun Qians were arranged, and the information collected was much more than that of one Sun Qian.

"We are now targeting the dilapidated house near the passenger station." The waiter brought the dishes over and Liu Yan went back to open the door.

The two were on the second floor of the Mosang Inn. Looking down, they could just see the yard where the fake Sun Qian lived.

There were a few more suspicious people around the fake Sun Qian's house. Some of them were dressed as vendors, some were dressed as farmers, and some were dressed as women.

After the food was served, Ban Sicao tried them one by one and looked strange.

“These dishes are a bit bitter.”

Shen Lanxi said calmly: "Deal with it!"

The guard quietly prepared the food, and when he came back, he brought back another portion from outside!

Liu Yanhui pursed her lips tightly and dared not say another word.

Ban Sicao pursed his lips and said, "It's a knockout drug. The person who drugged it was quite clever. He put the drug in each of these dishes. If I hadn't tasted every dish, I would definitely not have been able to taste it."

Liu Yanhui was worried and whispered, "General, we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, let's leave here first!"

When Liu Yanhui thought about how they were drugged as soon as they arrived, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If those who wanted to attack Sun Qian did it to them, then they would know everything they did.

Liu Yanhui was terrified when he thought about it carefully. This feeling of being controlled by someone made everyone around him look like a bad person.

Except Shen Lanxi!

Ban Si Cao rolled his eyes at Liu Yanhui and said, "Coward! Since someone drugged us, they must be not far away from us. We just need to find them. This is such a good opportunity, but time won't wait for me!"

Shen Lanxi sneered, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes swept towards the door.

"somebody is coming!"

Liu Yanhui said anxiously: "General, hurry up and leave!"

Shen Lanxi: "Pretend to faint!" She said and then lay down on the table.

Liu Yan looked at the door anxiously, and seeing that she didn't leave, she gritted her teeth and lay down on the table.

Ban Sicao and others found a comfortable position to lie down.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the soup is here!"

"Guest officer..."

After a few sounds, the door was pushed open. After two breaths, the door slowly closed.

After a while, there was still no movement outside. Shen Lanxi opened her eyes, stood up and looked towards the fake Sun Qian's courtyard.

"Everyone, get up and take a look!"
