Asking hexagram 20 taels

(62)

The difficulties of Gubei City were first resolved, and he flew out of the city gate on a light horse, carrying the news of the tragic victory of the defenders of Gubei City, breaking through the frozen land of the Great Plains of Gubei City.

Although no one in the pass really took this battle to heart, Yuan Jiajun still wrote a long note on the casualties and submitted it to Shangfeng.The lifespan of this book is ridiculously short, just like most of the soldiers of the Yuan family's army who rushed to Gubei City with pride and ambition a few years ago.After passing the review layer by layer, it landed in front of the desk of the current emperor. The emperor didn't even take it apart, but just supported his forehead and listened to the palm print eunuch read a few words.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Ming Huang's cuffs brushed across the table and fell into the corner of the eunuch's eyes.

The palm print eunuch opened the long paper and quickly scanned it. Countless people's names were skipped on the paper. After reading it, he snapped his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, there is no military emergency."

"Go ahead, is there any other movement from the Seven Kings Party?"

I don't know if Yuan Xiao will know that he wrote it one stroke at a time. Behind a person's name is a person's life. When the battle was over, the booklet sent by Gubei City alone fell into the population of Beijing, and there was only one sentence left: "No military emergency".

Even if he knew that there was no other way, the dispute between the seven kings' party and the royal party in the current dynasty was intensifying.Everyone is doing their best for the throne, and they are determined to stand in line in order to grab a Conglong Gong, and those who have no ambition can disappear in the court now, and come back when the dust settles. Why do you care about the affairs of Gubei City?

Although the Seven Kings have not participated in political affairs for many years, the centipede is dead but not stiff. Once there is a chance to make a comeback, the Seven Kings are like mushrooms, rising ten feet in the wind, and will soon be on an equal footing with the Royal Party.

It is not true that the Battle of Gubei City had no sense of presence in the imperial court. At least the Seven Kings and the Imperial Party were intriguing in all aspects, including the border wars.The two sides bet on each other in the battle of Gubei City, and they shirked each other's food and grass escorts. People on both sides hoped that Yuan Xiao, who held a lot of troops in the court, would die in Gubei City.

Now the defenders of Gubei City have won a disastrous victory. More than half of the [-] defenders died on the battlefield, and the remaining half were seriously injured, and they are still lying in the camp of Gubei City.This can be regarded as playing into the hands of the two parties, trying to weaken the power of the Yuan family army as much as possible, even the Seven Kings thought so.

Although he really wanted to win over the Yuan family's army so that he could strengthen his power during court struggles, but Yuan Xiao and Yuan's family's army were famously loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the Yuan family's ancestral training could not prevent him from being disloyal to the emperor and patriotism.Since there is no guarantee that Yuan Jiajun will be used by himself, then he will be destroyed so that the enemy will not be able to get such a fast knife.

This is true for the Seven Kings and the Emperor. Unlike Yuan Xiao, for them, the soldiers who died on the battlefield are just numbers and represent nothing.

"What? You said there are no supplies?" The captain grabbed the shoulder of the soldier who came to report and shook violently. While shaking, he pointed to the empty grain warehouse and asked him, "No supplies?"

The soldier who delivered the letter was so shaken that his head was about to come out, so he could only answer him: "Indeed, indeed not."

"Without supplies, what do we have to eat and drink?" The captain waved his big hand behind him, pulled his collar and looked into the tent of the wounded soldiers, "What do the wounded soldiers in this city eat?"

"Don't, don't, don't, this little one can't help it..."

Tang Yuan followed Yuan Xiao from tent to tent to check the situation of the wounded soldiers, just passing by here, seeing the quarrel here from a distance, he couldn't help poking his head over: "What happened?"

Yuan Xiao also followed, "What's the matter? Let him go." He obviously knew the person who came to deliver the letter, rescued him from the captain, and asked him, "Is it you?"

"You know him?" Tang Yuan looked at the man who was thin and small, and the way he smiled apologetically at Yuan Xiao was more proficient than those local officials he had seen.

"People from the household department, we are old friends with our Yuan Jiajun." Yuan Xiao winked at the captain, who pursed his lips and took a step back unwillingly.

"Old friend? Looks like there is a story."

"That's right, this friend from the household department has deducted a lot of food and grass from our Yuan family army, and now he still wants to give none of it." The school captain popped up behind him to grab the words.

"Not at all? It's too much!"

"Yes, yes, it's too much."

Tang Yuan and the school captain were also familiar, and they sang together, making the person who delivered the letter flushed with shame, while Yuan Xiao was watching from the side without saying a word.It wasn't until the heads of the people who came to deliver the letter were almost up to their chests that they stopped them: "Okay, okay, what is it like to fight in front of the coach?"

The face of the person who sent the letter was even more bitter. Don't you feel sorry for me as the co-author.

"Master Zhang, right?" Yuan Xiao's voice was very long when he called him, his heart was lifted high and then fell down heavily with Yuan Xiao's voice.

The man dressed as a soldier surnamed Zhang quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare, General Yuan, you really are a villain."

"Master Zhang really knows how to joke. When you came to our Yuan family army, you used to yell at our brothers." The school captain popped up again and said mockingly.

"Hey, it's not that I was young at the time and didn't know Taishan, so I didn't know that I offended the captain." He followed with an apologetic smile.In the past, he was a celebrity in the household department, and Yuan Jiajun was not welcomed, so he naturally treated Yuan Jiajun as he wanted.It can't be done now, the Yuan family's army has just won a battle, and their reputation is in full swing. If they are not valued, they will not be valued, and they still have to live with their face.What's more, the power of the imperial party is weakening now, and the backers behind him are all acting with their tails between their legs, so he should stay low and be a small one.

"Don't say anything offensive or not." Yuan Xiao raised the curtain of the tent of the wounded and let him take a look at the situation inside. "Look at the current situation of our Gubei City defenders. It is difficult to get through without supplies. How about Master Zhang? Go back and fight with the household department, at least let the wounded have enough to eat."

"That's for sure. I'll go back and report to my superiors. I will definitely not treat you badly."

Yuan Xiao lowered the curtain, and with a smile on his face, helped up Zhang Luren who was saluting: "Master Zhang, please."

Thanks to Zhang Luren, he finally walked out of the camp in Gubei City. Yuan Xiao led the captain and several people to stand at the door to send him out.The captain was still muttering: "How can you let him go?"

"Don't worry, Yuan Xiao must have other ways." Tang Yuan didn't feel anything else, just looking at Yuan Xiao's smiling face, he knew that this person must have someone behind him.

Sure enough, Yuan Xiao turned around and smiled at him, stretched out his hand to grab him and rubbed his hair: "That's right. It is impossible for the Ministry of Households to take the initiative to allocate food and grass for us. They wish we could all die on the plains of Gubei City. This saves the need to collect the corpses. Since they don’t give it to us, we will go grab it. There is a batch of grain and grass in the North Pass right now, which is sent to the North Pass for grain storage. Tonight we will start to order a team of Qingqi to raid the North Pass.”

That night, the camp in Gubei City was brightly lit, and a team of 20 light cavalry had already dressed up, and they could rush out of Gubei City and set foot on the vast plain at any time when Yuan Xiao gave an order.

Yuan Xiao was dressed in black, riding a big black, holding a green steel sword in his hand, straightening the armor on his body.Tang Yuan hugged his chest under the horse and watched him order Qi soldiers, with a hint of pride gradually overflowing from his face.His eyes reflected the dim candlelight, and when he looked at someone with piercing eyes, it would only make people feel as if they could be sucked in by his dark eyes.

Yuan Xiao turned his head to see him, lowered his head and smiled, and tugged at the horse's reins with his right hand.Dahei connected with him, and took two steps closer to Tang Yuan in broken steps.

"How?" Yuan Xiao leaned down and approached Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then stretched out his hand and stuffed it into his neck to straighten the collar of his armor, took two steps back and admired it for a while, and then said with satisfaction: "That's right."

"Come with me?" Yuan Xiao suggested in a low voice.

"Where are you going?" Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows, "To Beikoukou?"

"That's right." Yuan Xiao nodded.

"But there is no room for me in your team."

"Ride with me." Yuan Xiao stretched out his hand and looked around, "Hurry up, others won't notice."

Tang Yuan also followed him to look around, and saw that the remaining twenty Qingqi were all staring straight ahead, and the other people in the logistics preparation were also looking at the sky and the ground. Yuan met his eyes, and turned his head away in a panic.

"Are you sure other people won't notice?" Tang Yuan stretched out a finger and pointed at these onlookers who have no talent in acting and can see through it at a glance.

"If I say no one notices, then there really is no one." Yuan Xiao stretched his hand forward, passed Tang Yuan's side, and grabbed his arm to pull him onto the horse.Dahei seemed to have eaten two more bundles of fodder, kicked his hooves upside down excitedly, and snorted at the sky.

Yuan Xiao pulled Dahei's rein and took a step forward. There were 20 people behind him, neatly dressed, holding the rein neatly.

This is a raid mission, and it is also a competition between the Yuan family's army. How far the horse under one's crotch can run depends entirely on the rider on the horse.

Dahei rode Juechen, and dashed out of the gate of Gubei City that had already fallen down with his horseshoes, broke through the silence of the Great Plains, and went straight to the place where the grain and grass were now staying - Beikoukou Granary.

The granaries in various places should have put all the grain and grass into the warehouse in autumn, but the granary at Beikoukou is different. It is close to the northern gate of the Central Plains, and the military needs are generally transferred from here, so the opening hours are different from the granaries in various places, and there may even be such a situation. Winter is still in the process of deploying food and grass.

There were not many defenders of the granary at the North Pass, and Yuan Xiao brought all the elite soldiers of the Yuan family army. After breaking into the North Pass and spending some time, Yuan Xiao and Tang Yuan, two of the 22 people, flew over the wall and directly opened the entrance of the grain and grass.The remaining 20 people calculated the needs of Gubei City, transferred grain and grass from the granary, and escorted them back to Gubei City.

Early the next morning, the incident of the theft of the Beikoukou granary flew to the desk of the general defending the Beikoukou as if it had grown wings.When the general arrived at the scene, he knew who did it. Thinking of his comrades, he directly sent back the news, and replied on the letter: "This matter is absolutely impossible."
