Now that the granary has been sealed, if Zhang Liang leads people to rob it, it will be a rebellion.
Therefore, the eunuch's move was a conspiracy, and Qing Xinyao really couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.
Just when both of them were frowning, an escort hurriedly rushed into the tent.
Zhang Liang was very strict in his military management, so this kind of thing would almost never happen.
It happened that Qing Xinyao came over today, and this escort barged in.
This made Zhang Liang feel very humiliated and gave the escort a hard look.
The escort who reported the letter also knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly took out a small bamboo tube and said excitedly: "Captain, Mr. Jin has a letter!"
"A letter from sir?"
Zhang Liang didn't bother blaming the escort anymore and took the bamboo tube: "Master Qing, I am illiterate and need someone to read the letter. Please excuse me."
It was just an excuse to find someone to read the letter. Zhang Liang was actually worried that Jin Feng said something in the letter that was not suitable for Qing Xinyao to hear, so he deliberately avoided it.
Qing Xinyao naturally understood and nodded with a smile: "Brother Zhang Liang, please do."
Zhang Liang nodded and quickly walked out of the tent.
The words on the note were specially copied by someone sent by Da Liu, and they were extremely small.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after the clerk read the contents of the letter.
In the letter, Jin Feng once again reminded Zhang Liang not to conflict with the government, and asked Zhang Liang to bring the Zhenyuan Army and the refugees who were willing to go to Xihewan back to Jinchuan.
Finally, Jin Feng also emphasized that Zhang Liang should send people to take over Jianmen Pass as soon as possible. No matter what happens, they must defend Xihewan to protect the safety of the village, Iron Can Mountain and other places.
Although he didn't explicitly mention rebellion, Zhang Liang already understood.
He is not afraid of fighting, but he is afraid that once he takes action, Xihewan will be plunged into a situation that will never be restored.
This responsibility is so great that Zhang Liang cannot bear it even if he dies.
Now that Jin Feng is supporting him, Zhang Liang feels at ease.
Put away the note and return to the Chinese army's tent.
"What did Mr. Jin say?"
Qing Xinyao asked quickly.
"Sir, the war in Xichuan is over. Let us return to Jinchuan and take over Jianmen Pass." Zhang Liang replied.
"Go back to Jinchuan?" A trace of panic flashed across Qing Xinyao's face.
In previous battles, he had already seen the combat effectiveness of the bodyguard.
Although the most elite black-armored team was taken away by Jin Feng, the combat effectiveness of ordinary bodyguards cannot be underestimated.
At least a lot higher than his most elite Iron Tiger Battalion.
Not only the bodyguards, but also the newly established Zhenyuan Army's recruit training has also ended.
Although it has not been tested in actual combat, the Zhenyuan Army is basically composed of refugees with branding on their faces. Many of them were determined to die before joining, so the morale and military discipline they displayed are far beyond that of ordinary armies.
.
The entire elite army led by Danzhu was wiped out, and Qing Xinyao could not guarantee that Gada would not send anyone to retaliate.
With Zhang Liang and his bodyguards and Zhenyuan troops stationed at Damangpo, Qing Xinyao felt very at ease.
Naturally, I don’t want Zhang Liang to go back.
However, Jin Feng had no official position and came to Xichuan as an invitation to help from the Ninth Princess. The bodyguards and the Zhenyuan Army were not under the jurisdiction of Qing Xinyao. Even if he was reluctant, he could not stop Zhang Liang from leaving.
After thinking about this, Qing Xinyao's face quickly returned to normal, and he nodded and said: "The situation in Xichuan is now in chaos, sir and Wuyang are not here, and I have been deprived of my position again. You might as well go back, so as not to be targeted by the eunuchs."
"Sir, that's what I thought too." Zhang Liang followed Qing Xinyao's words and responded.
"When will Brother Zhang Liang plan to go back?" Qing Xinyao asked.
"As soon as possible," Zhang Liang replied: "We will set off as soon as the food from Damangpo is delivered to Zhoujiazhuang."
"Aren't you going to take the food with you?" Qing Xinyao asked.
"In the current situation in Xichuan, Mr. Zhou has over 10,000 refugees. If we take away all the food, what will they eat?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "I won't take it anymore, leave it to Mr. Zhou."
"Then what did you eat on the way?"
"Sir, he said, let us suppress the bandits and seize food from the bandits!"
Zhang Liang said: "The bandits are all ground rats. Digging a bandit's nest will be enough for us to eat for a long time. The uneaten food can be used for local disaster relief."
hiss!
When Qing Xinyao heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Mr. Jin is going to make the entire northwest of Sichuan an enemy!"
The bandits were backed by local gentry.
Even when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Jin Feng letting Zhang Liang surround and suppress the bandits was tantamount to completely falling out with the tycoon behind the bandits.
From Xichuan to Jinchuan, we have to cross the entire northwestern Sichuan region.
By doing this, Jin Feng offended not just one or two gentry, but the entire gentry in northwest Sichuan.
"My husband once said that the wealthy gentry are just moths. If they dare to show their heads, they will be trampled to death!"
Zhang Liang said coldly: "If anyone tries to stop me from suppressing the bandits, I won't mind trampling a few to death!"
"Sir, this move is amazing!"
Qing Xinyao praised sincerely.
Before, he was still having a headache with Zhang Liang. What should he do next?
In the end, Jin Feng just sent a letter and found a way to break the situation.
It can be said that Jin Feng's move directly hit the wealthy gentry's Achilles' heel.
No matter where it is said, the bandits are always on the side of justice.
Not even the eunuch could stop Zhang Liang.
"This time the crisis in Xichuan can be solved. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Jin's Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Qing is now alone and has no way to repay him, so he can only pay his respects!"
Qing Xinyao said, clasping his fists and bowing, and saluted the black flag of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau outside the tent.
The entourage behind him also saluted.
Jin Feng was not here, so Zhang Liang, as the supreme leader of Damangpo, returned the favor for Jin Feng: "Sir, I said that it is everyone's duty to protect the family and the country. Lord Qing, you are so polite!"
After sending Qing Xinyao away, Zhang Liang immediately took action.
First, send someone to notify Zhou Youda and bring people to Damangpo to transport grain.
Then he selected 300 bodyguards and 300 elite recruits from the Zhenyuan Army to form 600 cavalry. They set off in the snow that afternoon, returned to Jinchuan, and took over Jianmen Pass.
After the 600 cavalry set off, Zhang Liang divided the remaining bodyguards and Zhenyuan Army into five thousand-man teams, preparing to set off from five directions to suppress the bandits.
If Qing Xinyao knew Zhang Liang's plan, he would definitely be shocked again.
Jin Feng's plan to suppress the bandits was ruthless enough, but Zhang Liang turned out to be even more ruthless than him.
According to the march route map drawn up by Zhang Liang, the area covered by the five thousand-man troops is no longer limited to northwest Sichuan, but almost covers the entire northern Sichuan area north of the Xichuan-Nanchong line and west of the Jialing River.
Zhou Youda acted very quickly. After getting the message from the bodyguard, he rushed to Damang Slope as soon as possible.
"Brother Liang, why do you want to go back suddenly?"
"This is sir's decision."
Zhang Liang didn't believe in Qing Xinyao, but he believed in Zhou Youda.
He took out the note from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zhou Youda was silent after reading it.
Jin Feng revealed his dissatisfaction with the imperial court in the note. Even an illiterate Zhang Liang could hear it, let alone a talented person like Zhou Youda.
As a traditional scholar, the idea he accepted since childhood is to be loyal to the emperor.
The first thought I had when I saw the note was to stay away from rebellious people like Jin Feng in the future, but this thought just flashed and disappeared.
He is now too deeply involved with Jin Feng and cannot be separated.
And if you think about it carefully, Jin Feng did nothing wrong.
