Yu Wenxiong looked at several officials arriving from the court. The leader was an official in his fifties, with slightly white skin and a bulging belly.

Ma Ren, the Minister of War, is also regarded as a special imperial envoy of His Majesty.

"Why can't the border guards stationed in Yuanzhou come?"

Yu Wenxiong almost asked in a questioning tone. He had been waiting for so long just for these 200,000 troops, but they didn't come?

What is this?

"I originally planned to come, but I couldn't come due to special reasons."

"What reason?"

Ma Ren said: "These 200,000 troops have all gone to the northwest."

"northwest?"

Yu Wenxiong said: "Guan Ning's west army has a maximum of 100,000 people, and the northwest army also has 100,000 people. How can they be able to stop it? How can they still use such a large army to support them?"

He was really angry.

Because this is the army he has been waiting for.

Although the troops stationed at the Huaizhou border that came before were 200,000 strong, half of them were newly recruited troops and could hardly play any role.

The other half are the people Guan Ning led who defeated the Wei army. Although the main generals have been replaced, will these people fight with all their strength when it comes to the battlefield?

"A Mahayana sect has arisen in the northwest. They can be regarded as followers of Guan Ning. Now they are causing chaos in the northwest and must be quelled as soon as possible."

Ma Ren's words made Yu Wenxiong frown.

"Is there such a thing?"

"The actual situation may be more serious. If the northwest also falls into Guan Ning's hands, you should know the consequences."

"Can……"

Yu Wenxiong said: "The more this time is, the more we should concentrate our forces. As long as Guan Ning is eliminated, the unrest in other areas will automatically subside. Don't you understand? This is Guan Ning's plan. Don't be fooled!

"

"General Yuwen, this is His Majesty's decision. Do you know how much the daily consumption of putting so many troops here will be?"

At this time, another person spoke. This person was wearing armor. He was the same age as Yu Wenxiong. He was also dressed like a general. His identity was also extraordinary. He was Gao Lian's son, Gao Cangyi.

Because of his prominent family background, he has been serving in the Governor's Mansion, but now he has been released.

"We are consuming, isn't Guan Ning consuming?"

Yu Wenxiong asked: "In the midst of the war, Guan Ning lets his soldiers collect grain and open up wasteland. We have the whole country behind us, what does Guan Ning have?"

He was furious.

Why can't these people see the situation clearly? They have walked ninety-nine steps out of a hundred steps, and when they reach the last step, they turn back and all their previous efforts have been wasted.

Yu Wenxiong said coldly: "Speaking of supply, I have another question to ask you, Mr. Ma."

"Is our logistics supply handled by the Ministry of War?"

"That's right."

Ma Ren asked: "The food and grass supplies are sufficient. Is there any problem?"

"Any questions?"

Yu Wenxiong's expression became increasingly angry.

"I would also like to ask all the imperial envoys to move."

Yu Wenxiong immediately led several people to a camp, where logistical food was stored.

Bags containing rice grains were neatly placed and piled together.

The weather has turned cooler, and these grains are for winter use.

Yu Wenxiong walked over, brought down a bag, and opened it directly.

"What are you going to do?"

Several people felt strange about Yu Wenxiong's behavior.

"What am I going to do?"

Yu Wenxiong said directly: "Look what is in this rice?"

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful.

Everyone looked over and saw that there were tiny grains of sand in the handful of rice.

Rice mixed with sand!

Everyone is perplexed.

This kind of thing has actually happened before, mostly during disasters.

The imperial court distributed disaster relief grain, but the officials who dealt with it were greedy and withheld it. This resulted in insufficient grain, so they mixed it with sand...

"Did you see that?"

Yu Wenxiong asked angrily: "This is military ration, it is for the soldiers to fight, but it is mixed with sand. Who has the courage to covet the military ration?"

"Master Ma, you are the right minister of the Ministry of War, please tell me!"

Ma Ren's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head and said: "This is just an example. Maybe it was accidentally added to the food, which is also normal."

"Just an example?"

Yu Wenxiong said: "I have personally inspected this batch of food. Every bag has this condition. It is clear that someone has intercepted it. How can we eat such food, and how can the soldiers fight?"

Under this questioning, Ma Ren didn't know how to explain.

No matter where the logistics supplies are allocated from, the Ministry of War is ultimately responsible for the transportation, which is the final handling.

So there is no way to bypass the Ministry of War.

"How to fight?"

Gao Cangyi said lightly: "As far as I know, General Yuwen has never launched any war since he took charge of the frontline war. He has ignored His Majesty's will and won't fight any battles, so why eat refined food?"

"That's right. The imperial court doesn't care for idlers."

Ma Ren also immediately echoed.

"you……"

Seeing the two singing in harmony, Yu Wenxiong understood.

They must be part of the fishiness in this.

The front line is tight and the rear is tight.

At this point, they are still engaging in corruption!

Yu Wenxiong was holding his breath to the extreme.

He took a deep breath and said, "I hope your majesty can adopt my suggestion and mobilize the 200,000 troops as soon as possible. As long as we concentrate our forces to eliminate Guan Ning, this crisis can be resolved!"

"I won't bother General Yuwen with this kind of thing."

"What do you mean?"

Ma Ren took out an imperial edict directly from his sleeve.

"Immediately, the post of General Huben will be taken over by Gao Cangyi, and he will be fully responsible for the administrative and military affairs of suppressing the rebels. Decisions can be made based on the situation. Yu Wenxiong will be transferred back to Beijing, and there will be other appointments..."

After hearing the decree, Yu Wenxiong's face was dull. He heard clearly that this was an imperial decree to change him...

"General Yuwen, please accept the order."

"wrong."

Ma Ren said: "It is no longer appropriate to call him a general. After all, he has lost his position and is now General Gao."

He said and looked at each other with Gao Cangyi, and the two smiled at each other.

"General Gao has served in the Governor's Mansion for a long time and was taught by the Left Governor Shen Guogong. He is a suitable candidate. I hope you will not be emotional."

"No!"

Only then did Yu Wenxiong react.

"I know why Your Majesty made this decision. It's nothing more than various rumors that have been circulating recently. Can't you see? This is Guan Ning's plan?"

"Whether it's a rumor or not is another matter, but your inaction is a fact."

Gao CangYi said calmly: "You are totally asking for it to get to this point. Leave the rest of the war to me."

"Leave it to you?"

"Ha ha!"

Yu Wenxiong laughed directly, but the laughter was full of sadness.

Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists, so that's it, but changing generals to Gao Cangyi is even more confusing.

It’s over!
