"General Wei went to Yiyang City, and the supplies were not available at all. It was almost cold. If there were winter clothes and quilts, I would not have to kill the people from Beiliang. I could freeze half of them to death by freezing alone. General Wei went to negotiate with the governor of Yiyang himself."

If it weren't for this, Princess Qin arrived at Fairy Pass and General Wei would have come out to greet him long ago.

"When did he go and how many people did he bring?" Feng Wuyou asked immediately.

"I went there for more than ten days and brought five hundred people."

Yiyang has always been able to delay supplies to the Xiao family army whenever he can. Every time he goes to negotiate, it takes a lot of time. Sometimes he lives there for seven or eight days, and may not even see anyone. Therefore, Wei Yongming went there for more than ten days, which seemed completely normal to Cheng Zhijie.

Moreover, Wei Yongming not only negotiated this time, he also hoped to bring back a batch of supplies first, and the people he brought were escorts.

Feng Wuyou Murong Yi looked at each other, and a clear color was slid across his eyes.

I am afraid that the so-called large-scale rebellion in Li Demin’s memorial was Wei Yongming’s five hundred men.

The gateway between Yanyun and the imperial capital was actually beaten by the five hundred Xiao family troops and the eight hundred miles of military newspaper to the court. If he hadn't heard this absurd thing now, who would have believed it?

Li Demin and Shen Chengda are so brave. Now winter is coming soon. Military affairs are in a complicated time. Wei Yongming cannot leave military affairs at this time. He is still reluctant to return. It is very likely that he has been detained by those two people.

Feng Wuyou almost understood the causes and consequences in an instant, but she still couldn't figure out what Li Demin and Shen Chengda were going to do?

Is it just that I want to kill the Xiao family army? Is it too naive to deprive the Xiao family army?

All the way from Yiyang to Fairy Pass, they learned more and more things, but they were increasingly unable to understand.

Everything is like a nine-ring series, one by one, one by one, and they can see each ring clearly now, but they lack the most critical key, which allows them to solve the first ring.

"How much food is left in the army now?"

"Not much, I can only support it for ten days at most."

Cheng Zhijie hesitated for a moment before saying that, in fact, there was no custom of women participating in the army and politics in the Western Qin Dynasty, and there was only general Lin Feiyu in the entire Western Qin Dynasty, which was still a noun, and most of them were perfunctory.

However, because Feng Wuyou used thunder to deal with Xu Youwei as soon as he appeared, the questions asked at this time were both accurate and professional, and all were on the point. Before he knew it, Cheng Zhijie did not regard her as a woman at all, but as the substitute of the young marshal Xiao Jinglan.

Answering Feng Wuyou's words is like answering Xiao Jinglan's question.

"Have you collected some from the people?"

In the army, whenever there is insufficient food, they will second the local people to respond to emergency response. The Xiao family army has been stationed for many years and cannot not know this truth.

"I have collected it, but for some reason, even after asking several villages and towns, they said there was no food, and even if we were willing to buy it at a high price, it wouldn't work. This has never happened before."

Yiyang has always been short of supplies to the Xiao family army. Over the years, at least one-third of the Xiao family army's grain and clothing are purchased from the people around them every year. It has become a practice long time ago. Cheng Zhijie was also very puzzled.

Feng Wuyou and Murong Yi looked at each other again, and the consequences of destroying the reputation of the Xiao family army were revealed at this moment. Because of the Xiao family army's infamous reputation, the people around him thought that the Xiao family army was really going to rebel, so they were unwilling to provide them with food and clothing.

The Xiao family army has strict military disciplines and will buy at market prices even if needed. They will never force them.

With the interweaving of the two, the Xiao family army had no idea that they had long become synonymous with the unforgivable people in the eyes of the villagers.

Finally, I learned about the situation here. Although I still don’t know who is behind these things and don’t figure out what their purpose is, at least one thing is certain, that is, the Xiao family army has absolutely not rebeled.

Proving this, returning to Beijing can also give an explanation to the emperor.

Feng Wuyou is only worried about one thing now, that is, the safety of coach Wei Yongming.

Li Demin has reported the incident of the Tanzhou military transformation to the court. If he killed Wei Yongming, he would not only not be punished, but could also be regarded as military merit.

They must arrive at Yiyang immediately now, and it would be best if they could rescue Wei Yongming before Li Demin took action.

Moreover, the supply problem of the Xiao family army is imminent. It is difficult to convince the people to trust the Xiao family army again. It cannot be done in a day or two. Moreover, the things in the hands of the people cannot meet the daily needs of the Xiao family army. If you want to get the supplies, you can only go to Yiyang to find Li Demin!

Thinking of this, Feng Wuyou did not want to stay in the big business for a long time. Time was tight, so you should never delay if you could do it earlier.

She told Cheng Zhijie the meaning, but did not say that Wei Yongming might be in danger, but only said that she was going to Yiyang to help the Xiao family army solve the military supply problem.

When Cheng Zhijie heard about this, he immediately stood up and fisted and said, "Princess, the last general and the 12,000 soldiers under his command all rely on the princess!"

Although Cheng Zhijie didn't care much about small things, he could clearly distinguish between major things and knew that things were urgent. He was not a polite and false gift. He immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare meals. Don't have those fancy things, as long as they were fast and could take care of themselves.

It's only morning now, after lunch, they set off. If the speed is fast, they can rush back to Yiyang City tomorrow evening. When the military supplies are solved, he will prepare a banquet and entertain Fengyou well.

The food came soon, and Feng Wuyou and Murong Yi were also unaware of the etiquette, so they ate with Nie Zheng and Changsun Yunwei. Cheng Zhijie was around and added some tea to them from time to time.

After eating, he was about to prepare enough water and dry food and set off when he suddenly opened the curtain at the door, and a person with a personal guard came in and said, "General Cheng, go to the city wall to see. The people of Beiliang are strange and don't know what they are doing."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhijie immediately looked at Feng Wuyou and said in embarrassment: "Princess..."

Feng Wuyou is still here, and it would be too rude if he leaves.

But Feng Wuyou has never been a person who cares about these things. She wiped her mouth and said, "Go and have a look together, General Cheng doesn't mind!"

When I came to the camp, I didn’t go up to the city wall. It was like I didn’t see the sunrise when I went to Huangshan. It always seemed that there was something missing. However, the arrangement of the city walls was all military secrets. For no reason, Feng Wuyou couldn’t say what to go and see.

But now that the opportunity is coming to her, she will not let it go. Anyway, their horses and the things they brought on the road are still being prepared. It will not take much time to go to the city wall to take a look. When she comes back, she can just leave directly.

Feng Wuyou spoke, but Cheng Zhijie naturally had no objection and led the way to the city wall first.

The Fairy Pass City Wall is built between the two mountains and walls. Although it is not long, it is very wide, so it is not a problem to run a horse on it.

The two sides of the city wall extend obliquely along the mountain, connecting to the mountain wall, forming a tight defense.

As soon as Feng Wuyou stepped onto the city wall, he felt a wave of heat coming.

Tanzhou is located northward. By mid-August, the temperature had already started to cool down. Feng Wuyou had already put on a jacket, so how could he feel hot?

When they walked to the city wall and looked down, they discovered the source of the heat.

Below the city wall, a mountain wall that stretched for dozens of meters, was actually lit by a raging fire.

Because of the years of war, there is almost no vegetation. These fires were all piled up at the foot of the mountain with firewood, and added something to help the fire, which made them burn.

"General, the people of Beiliang suddenly charged up just now. The subordinates thought they were going to attack the city, but they didn't know that they just piled up a pile of firewood and wine on the mountain wall near the city wall, and then retreated. All morning, these people of Beiliang were doing this, and just now, they suddenly lit the fire."

The general on duty introduced him to Cheng Zhijie, but he himself couldn't figure out what the people in the Northern Liang Dynasty wanted to do.

Although they piled up firewood and lit fire, they were still a certain distance from the city wall. Moreover, the city wall was built with the hardest green mountains and stones, so they were not afraid of fire attacks. These people from Beiliang were full and had nothing to do. Are they too idle to panic? They actually did such thankless things.

"No matter what they do, you should take strict precautions." Cheng Zhijie frowned, and did not relax his vigilance at all because he did not understand: "Send the order and carefully monitor the movements below. Today, the gap between the city wall patrols was shortened to one-half of the weekdays, and the number of personnel was twice as high."

"Yes!" The messenger passed the order quickly. The speed and accuracy of execution made Murong Yi show his praise without any concealment.

There is no reason why the Xiao family army can be called the number one elite in the Western Qin Dynasty.

After the arrangement was made, Cheng Zhijie accompanied them down from the city wall.

Although the people of Beiliang were very strange, because they could not see anything, they could only respond to changes in a constant way.

When they returned to the central army's tent, the horses and dry food were ready. Feng Wuyou and his men stopped hesitating. After saying goodbye to Cheng Zhijie, they immediately drove out of the city.

As soon as he left the city gate, a gust of north wind came towards him, which made Feng Wuyou shudder.

She felt that the weather seemed to be colder than when she first arrived at Fairy Pass.

However, the weather in August and September is already volatile, so it is normal to be a little colder.

Unlike the slow movement when they came, they had no baggage this time and the situation was urgent, so everyone was moving forward at full speed.

I ran for an hour in one breath, and then I stopped and took a short rest.

At this time, the wind was even stronger. The clouds in the sky continued to surge under the strong wind, and the temperature dropped even lower. Feng Wuyou reached out and pulled the collar hard.
