Chapter 351 Lieutenant General Qin came to meet him

When we were taking a break at noon, a huge team came towards us. At first glance, we knew they were from the army.

Yan Guogong had a guess in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to dismount.

They were all riding war horses, weathered by the weather. When he saw them from a distance, a general walking at the front shouted loudly: "Is that Master Yan in front of you? We are the subordinates of General Lin Er."

After getting the affirmative answer, the visitor seemed very happy, and then the horse galloped over at a galloping speed.

The two adults quickly dismounted, and the motorcade also stopped.

There were forty or fifty people in the group that came over, and the leader was a red-faced man with a snappy beard.

The visitor turned out to be Lieutenant General Tan, who had been following General Lin Er since he was a teenager. The others did not know him, but Yan Guogong had met him a few times.

As soon as Lieutenant General Qin saw Duke Yan, he immediately dismounted, threw the reins in his hands to the soldiers next to him, lifted up his cloak, and knelt down. His movements were graceful and his feet and hands were very strong.

When I went to the ground, there was a "pop" sound, and dust kicked up from the soles of my feet.

"I met Mr. Yan and Mr. Fang in Xiaqinchuan."

"Why did Vice General Qin come in person?"

The explorers have found out clearly that there is still more than forty miles away from Qingyang. According to the plan, their party will only arrive at night.

It's an important border area. The general shouldn't leave at this time. He just needs to send a subordinate.

Zimo was also very happy to see Vice General Tan and almost wanted to hug him. They had met him before and were very familiar with him.

Lieutenant General Qin was helped up, but he still continued to say: "You two adults don't know something. Although this place is still dozens of miles away from Qingyang, the granary where the grain is stored is only a dozen miles away, which is in front of me. Qili Town.”

Master Fang understood what had happened. He had made a mistake. Before the last city was lost, the granary was also placed dozens of miles away from the border.

Now that we have retreated to Qingyang, it is naturally impossible to bring all the food to the border, otherwise we will be extremely vulnerable to sneak attacks.

Without food and grass, we will naturally be defeated without fighting.

The reason for moving the grain and grass back is to be on the safe side. I'm afraid that the nearby granary that Qin Chuan mentioned may not be the only one. Everyone knows the principle of three cunning rabbits.

Duke Yan: "Then we don't have to go any further? All food and grass must be placed in Qili Town?"

Qin Chuan replied: "Yes, sir, I have already received the letter from the capital. I know that you will definitely arrive in the next two days. We will know after you pass the Lingtai.

Now we have arranged a place for you to station in Qili Town. The food will be delivered to the warehouse later. You can return after taking a good rest for two days. "

Qin Chuan naturally knew that they would continue on their way, so he did not intend to keep them longer.

As for whose letter he received, Qin Chuan didn't say, and Duke Yan didn't ask, but he could figure it out.

All the way to Qili Town, Qin Chuan rode beside Duke Yan.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Duke Yan asked, "When will Vice General Tan lead the Lin family's army to march to Western Xinjiang?"

Duke Yan was still thinking about whether they could go with them. Logically speaking, they could leave after handing over the food and grass to Lieutenant General Qin.

The subsequent handover is the business of Lieutenant General Tan and the Crown Prince.

According to the original plan, after they arrived, they would continue walking southwest and reach Zhaojue Temple in Western Xinjiang in up to four or five days.

Lieutenant General Tan smiled, and the two clusters of plateau red on his face twitched. He looked like a big man from the northwest: "Of course I have to wait for the prince's team to hand over before I can leave."

Duke Yan: "Their vanguard should arrive in a few days, but the 100,000-strong army will probably take a few more days. Lieutenant General Tan can tell the soldiers to be ready to leave at any time."

He laughed heartily and his voice was very rich: "We have nothing to prepare. In the past few days, I have let the soldiers eat up all the food and some important weapons. We will send people to escort them there in two days."

After saying that, they laughed loudly, as if something had succeeded. They had no intention of leaving anything for the prince behind them. If they moved the post, the emperor would prepare a large amount of food, grass and weapons for them, unlike them who were raised by stepmothers. , can't even drink the soup.

"They'd better come earlier, otherwise the hungry soldiers will have to eat more of the new food you brought."

He was smiling on the surface, but Yan Guogong also knew the bitterness in his heart. Fortunately, he could go to meet General Lin San soon. The soldiers of the Lin Family Army should be happy.

When you go there, it's like seeing your relatives.

After entering Qili Town, Vice General Qin asked his men to take the carriages and horses directly to the granary for handover. Director Fang naturally had to go with the grain and grass. The task was completed only after the formalities were completed.

Lieutenant General Tan took the rest of them to a large house. The house seemed to be a little old. It had "Zhao Family Courtyard" written on the door, so you could tell that it belonged to a wealthy family.

"After losing the first city, the Zhao family only left two servants to guard the old house, and the rest all fled south. There were dozens of houses inside, all fully furnished, and this is where they are. It's very safe next to the barracks. Your Excellency and Madam will stay here for the rest of the night. If anything happens, you can shout loudly and you can hear me."

Qin Chuan led them inside. As expected, it was very spacious inside, and the walls were very high. The innermost part was divided into five or six small courtyards.

There are watchtowers every few dozen steps in the house. I would imagine that such a family had at least a lot of private soldiers and servants.

Seeing that they were all very curious, Vice General Qin explained: "The Zhao family's property has been spread to all corners of the country, and there is no shortage of money. Mr. Zhao has married thirteen aunts, but most of his descendants have already It’s no longer in Qili.”

"I'm staying in the barracks next to you tonight, and I've also hosted a banquet for the two adults. Ladies and ladies, it's better to wash up and rest first.

In the evening, I will also set up a few tables for you women in this house, and I will ask my wife and daughter to come and sit with my wife. "

After settling them, Lieutenant General Tan did not leave immediately. He drank tea and chatted with Master Yan in a study.

Zimo had long been begged by Chu Chu to go to the nearby barracks. It would be convenient to have soldiers with him.

The barracks here are not big, but the granary not far away is very large.

There should be hundreds of soldiers stationed there, all protecting the granary.

There is a back door in the barracks, which leads directly to the granary. It is heavily guarded there, and carriages have already unloaded grain and grass and are driving towards the barracks one after another.

Next to the barracks there is a stable dedicated to serving horses, which is extremely spacious.

The kitchen was very busy, and several sheep were killed. They must have been specially bought to reward their profession. Looking at the number, it was clear that there was no share for ordinary soldiers.

The black-faced steamed buns steamed on the pot are what the soldiers will eat tonight.
